I don’t understand the question. Is she entitled to have a designer say to her stylist “yes I will make/give/loan your client a dress”? As much as any other actress is, yes.

“But we only like skinny white people! Gawd, it’s like explaining to a herd of cows.”

This could have been a fantastic opportunity for a designer/stylist to show their chops by putting her together, which would not only highlight her as beautiful artist, but that they themselves have talent and barrier-free vision.

I just want to take this opportunity to showcase some of her other incredible outfits:

All the arguments “against” Jones are based on the question “Why doesn’t she just do something completely different than everyone else,” which is missing the point that she shouldn’t have to do anything different than everyone else. The designers may not have an obligation to make sure everyone gets free clothes, but…

I suppose she could buy her own dress, alter it to fit and be done with the issue, except...that it isn’t just one premiere, if this works as it should, it will be several. So Jones would be out 30-50 thousand dollars, yet, she’d still be asked who she was wearing and the designers would get both the publicity and her…

To me it just makes it all the more obvious that their actual, unavoidable issue was racism.

And just look at her here. A simple outfit, and she really rocks it. They are soooo stupid.

She responded to someone on twitter and said that her publicist has been reaching out to everyone, with no takers, for months

She is amazing. Also, I need her to team up with HBO a release a "Game of Jones" commentary track for every single episode, because that was the best thing I have ever seen. I love that she has thought about having sex with Jon Snow enough to figure they would have to do it on the floor, so as not to ruin her good…

bless christian siriano. he seems to always be there for the celebrities who get fucked off by the fashion industry.

“This is nobody’s fault except Leslie’s,” Paster says. “She should have known four to five months ago the date of premiere, and said, ‘I’m not a sample size, I need to go to designers early or buy myself a dress.’

When it’s a racial issue, race tends to be mentioned. Sorry if that bugs you.

Yeah, racial issues wouldn’t exist if those who are negatively affected by white supremacy would just shut up about it, right? And to compare what kinds of racist, misogynistic, and homophobic things FB regularly tolerates to their deleting a true statement about an actual convicted rapist is just sooo inappropriate,…

No one made you comment or cause you to be defensive. Music does not make the world go round. The “world does not end” (very dramatic language in this case) over it or you or anything so far. Yet, you go on. And on. As if you have something to prove. Nobody asked you to appreciate Prince.

Maybe for you. For some of us, these are profound losses. You might consider showing some respect and stop trying to measure grief. You’re just sounding like an asshole now and I’m pretty sure that’s not what you intended in this thread.

So, you’re not a Prince fan, don’t want to be, and you ask a question that seems rather ignorant to Prince fans, then get bent of shape because people who loved him want you to know you’ve vastly underestimated the impact his songs have on the world. Got it. Well done, you.

Uh, it depends on what generation you’re referring to. I knew that song probably before you were born based on your comments.
