I appreciate you pointing out that the article inherently comes from a white perspective, and I think you make across the board excellent points.

This was a fantastic piece. Here's the thing that continued to nag at me after reading it. As a woman, it's not enough to be a fan of the thing you're a fan of. You have to be THE Fan, the pre-eminent scholar, the expert, the absolute authority and fount of knowledge to have that interest respected. The author herself…

i just love this comment

oh my god, i loved this article. Iceland is so awesome.

"'when i feel indulgent, I'll have a dried fig with Brie,' admits Garth"...Sheesh, being a celebrity really sucks. You've got money, and yet you have to remain so draconian about not getting fat that a dietary INDULGENCE involves a piece of dried up fruit the size of a dollar coin with a piece of cheese on top? Shit,…

This is really really great.

God, I hate all these fucking fringe weirdos populating my hometown and making the city seem like it's made up solely of clueless idiot hipster loons.

why drink ANYTHING'S ass coffee? Human or animal? Why is it necessary to drink coffee from the ass of any creature? I say stick to your guns on your original assessment.

I think it's ok for you to still feel icky about it, I just wanted to point out that this event was not the official White House Christmas celebration and that was indeed produced/sponsored/funded by a company. The show is always a bloated top-40 monstrosity and well nigh unwatchable even in the best of circumstances.…

It is not a government sponsored event. It's the Christmas in Washington tv special. The president typically signs off the show (as its a benefit for the natl children's hospital). But it's not White House organized, or government produced as far as I have ever known.

i could not agree more. If i'm going to guiltily watch people sustain horrific injuries in the pursuit of a sport, it might as well be one that's a bit more exciting...

This is the handsomest, charmingest dick joke I ever saw!

Where did this cute, tattooed, nasal-voiced dreamboat puppy-saver come from and can I keep him?

Or a trompe l'oeil shirt that makes it look like you're not wearing a shirt? Or a necklace made from a snipped off ponytail?

Ginnifer Goodwin: Can we talk about her bottom-lash falsies?? Bold statement, but those are completely out of control IMO. She looks like a Kewpie/harlequin clown mess.

Options interchangeable circular knitting needles completely changed my life when I received them as a Christmas gift some years ago. Aesthetically beautiful in addition to being extremely practical and useful. They are a dream to use and brilliantly designed.

New York fat. I'm pretty sure the only tenuous thread holding me back from a slow slide into alcohol-and-restaurant-related obesity is being too poor to ever live below the 4th floor in walkups. If only I didn't spend my discretionary income on $15 cocktails...

I'm 100% a New York City drunk fatty, and I don't regret a single cocktail.

It would never have occurred to me on my own, but now that it has been suggested, the idea of a Daniel Craig/Rihanna couple would be like, panty-wettingly hot.

Cincinnati, not Cleveland. Don't get my hopes up like that.
