Got my first job offer! 80k base salary. ^-^

You’re hired!

If she had said something like “oh, being a ballerina would be SOOO easy, lalala”, or claimed that she actually is a ballerina, then I could understand the ire, but getting mad at a model for dressing up in some ballet gear and getting her picture taken is ridiculous. Do pro dancers reserve this same level of rage for…

It definitely does. She’s pointing to how silly it is that while other people are managing the “normal” complexities of life, she’s dealing with upsetting a group for a totally irrational reason.

The word, nay, the idea is already a joke. Without “appropriation”, we don’t get Elvis, The Beatles, The Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, CCR, The Beach Boys, MC5, The New York Dolls, etc.

Yet Native Americans are being brutalised by police who are dressed for war because they are protecting their land #NoDAPL. Well done America, you look great at the moment.

OH MY GOD, models dress up for a look. It’s shit like this that gives baby boomers justification for saying everyone’s too touchy.

I just read his Twitter feed. In related news, drinking time has started.

Can you even appropriate something like “ballet culture?” It’s something a lot of little American and European girls are familiar with and is pretty entrenched in (white, middle class) imaginations. It’s a mainstream thing.

I mean... “literally SO offensive.” lol no. No, it wasn’t. She was doing what many, many models before her have done! But she has a target on her back because she’s a Jennerashian. I think it’s a bigger insult to modeling. Like, wtf are you even modeling?

The things that people get worked up over, fucking hell. 

First off, glad that this is an appropriation controversy that isn’t racial in nature. That said, the word is in serious danger of becoming a joke. Models play dress-up all the time. They shouldn’t go so far as to pretend to be African natives but posing as a ballerina is not going to damage the art form.

I never realized ballerinas could be such pussies.

You guys, I HAVE to tell someone my dream.

Seriously. Like, the Heathers were the stereotypical Perfect Girls (tm) that everyone wanted to be and also hate ... so you could be happy that they were dead. I am kind of bummed that I’m supposed to be rooting for a white hetero couple to kill a black lesbian, a gender-queer guy, and a fat girl ...

Melanie Field, Brendan Scannell and Jasmine Mathews, according to the THR article. Kind of a big thing to leave out of this, but then again proofreading has never been a priority of Gawker Media.

That’s just good business

omg the things i would do to see idris elba’s dick in real life/ at all

lol
