Publicist #5: (Perravieja, who is not a publicist, but who read Dirt Bag this morning)

I have no sympathy for her, but I do appreciate her for one reason (and one reason only): her marriage means that Trump isn’t able to date publicly, and we don’t have to suffer the sight of Trump smooching some gross sycophantic lady on the cover of every magazine. “Trump Romance”; “Donald’s Softer Side”; “How She…

Katy seems to have a sense of humor at least. Taylor takes herself so seriously! And her coopting of feminism into this millennial style of “girl power” really aggravates me. Plus she came for Tina and Amy after they made a joke about her. Like, I would die happy if I was relevant enough for those two to make fun of…

in my personal experience, bullies are some of the quickest to cry out how they can’t stand meanness and to accuse others of bullying. given ruby rose’s ‘i only threw a *few fries* at that waiter and it’s because that mean terrible waiter ***TRIGGERED MEEEEEE***’ excuse for her previous bad behavior, meh

I live in DC, and like most people here I have a whole lotta feelings about this administration (none of them good). I had dinner with some of my Mom’s friends as they swung through town the other night (they’re in their 80's) and their cousins (probably 55ish) when the question was asked, “So, are people here going…

*extremely someone’s Dad’s voice* TEENS THESE DAYS, MAYBE THEY WERE EXPECTING THEIR PARENTS TO STEP IN AND CATCH HIM

Once upon a time the United States of America had a President who successfully connected subjects to verbs multiple times a day, and assassinated American citizens without due process, and bailed out banks who wrecked the economy, and extended the Patriot Act, and willfully slaughtered innocent children with drones in…

Their families have. Are you from some alternate universe where closeknit families of immigrants do not share views, stories, concerns, and occasionally delusions? Because if so I’d like to introduce you to half of this country where they’ve trained themselves to believe that the War of Northern Aggression was some…

I was enormous with my first child. Both belly enormous and gigantically fat. I also gave birth to a 10-pound baby, but the docs kept telling me he’d be 7 lbs, so whenever people would ask me if I was having twins or a very large baby (which they did every. single. day. everywhere. I. went) I’d just grunt “no, I’m…

I’m reasonably certain there’s no recipe for The Outfit In Which You’re Supposed to Feel Awesome. Personally, I look like a hausfrau in a cardigan and I think wedges are tacky as shit. I think that’s why everyone chooses her own outfit—because opinions vary? Some people feel like they don’t like how they look…

I have so much less problem with the tits and ass aspect than I do with the fact that they’re never situationally appropriate. Ariel, there are clothes for daytime and evening. That is an evening dress. Do you see how the kid next to you is wearing khakis? That’s not because his tuxedo pants were at the cleaners. …

I believe it’s “love is a many splendored thing” as “a many splendid thing” is syntactically impossible.

It was a spectacularly awful thing to do, and sooooo out of proportion to what provoked her (not being allowed to tag along to the theater, classic little sis). But I would only say it’s unforgivable if she felt no actual remorse. We discover it traumatically, through Jo’s POV and that makes the pain so relatable. But…

Can you imagine what the Little Women fandom Tumblrs would have been like? XD

She was very easily forgiven... T’were I Jo, I’d bring it up any chance I had: “oh, you’re going to Paris? DON’T BURN ANY BOOKS WHILE YOU’RE THERE.”

Amy was The Worst and I am still not over Laurie marrying her.

Completely. Like, “you’re dead to me” level of unforgivable. Like, “I see you at family gatherings and I look right through you and don’t even acknowledge that you exist” unforgivable.

Does everyone think Amy is utterly unforgivable for burning Jo’s book, or does she just seem that way to me because I’m a big sister and have written book manuscripts?

Same, but I’d be totally okay if the movie contained a good book burning and a communal realization that it’s crap and helps nobody.
