That's crazy. In some ways it still seems relevant.

Best. Post. Ever.

Good catch; hadn't thought of that. But, the sleeves look short too - the cuffs land up high on his wrist, which is what made me think it might be short overall.

It's like the jacket is too short. Somebody should have caught that.

It sounds like an occasion where you have to show up and engage in small-talk for self-promotion. SO, nope, no fun!

Also- it will lift my post-baby boobs. (I do this in the mirror a lot :) )

I am so sorry. I know how excrutiating that can be. I second the using-cloves comment. It used to be used to numb patients for dental work before all the drugs were available. Google it though - if you use oil watch it around your baby. Also, I understand not wanting to put your parents through any more. I…

I agree with everything you have said. We just have to recognize that a 10-15 minute conversation may not be enough for young adults bombarded with potentially differing messages by peers and media. I am in no way trying to relieve parents of their responsibility, just recognizing that we can't expect it to be solely…

Yeah. I think it's a fine line, with celebrities, though. I think culturally, artists should be allowed to create their art. I think criticism of their art is good, because it opens the door to evaluate our culture and our society. So, I worry about saying artists (and, trust me, I fully recognize that there are a…

I know this is not the point, but when I hear "Partition" I tend to think she talks about a blowjob that turns into sex. I mean she talks about him ripping her clothes off.

Hm. I agree that children's moral compasses should be set by their parents. And I do think Beyoncé and other celebrities should not have to be role models if they don't want to be. But, I do wonder where that "Argument" takes us. In this society, where in the majority of households both parents have to work to make…

Oops - I missed that. Too many commenters making your same comment without sarcasm has biased my brain. And, that's just sad. All the more reason we should support her.

I get that there are women out there who might put a better "face" on the feminist package that they are presenting, and therefore might be better people to front the cause. But I don't think that makes Beyoncé's views as a feminist any less valid.

That's so sad. What I meant was - it's not (in the sense that it shouldn't be). Unfortunately there are always going to be people who make anything exclusionary; sucks that feminism is one of them.

I fully agree with that.

I agree, but it doesn't always discount someone either.

GAH!!!! I am so frustrated. Beyoncé is potentially trying to do something good for young women (young black women specifically?). Can't we support her? I mean, isn't her message a good message? She may have won the pretty lottery, but not by everyone's standards. And we don't know what struggles she had to go…

Wait, being a successful woman can for damn sure make someone a feminist and a role model. Feminism is not some elite club that you have to hit certain markers to join. She may not be the type of role model you want to look up to, so don't. But, that doesn't mean Beyoncé can't be a role model for some people who…

YES!!!! I am so tired of all the same anime-looking creations.

I really enjoyed that show. I do wish it had taken off.
