That article seems to be about “publicity”, which doesn’t seem to be at play here. It would by copyright law that would apply and copyright law is federal not state-by-state. If the Kahlo Corporation registered her likeness and images and art works with the US Federal Copyright Office, then they would have control…

And it was made by a corporation in alliance with a corporation formed to profit off her image and works. The horse was out of the barn long ago.

It’s not a portrait or a photo for Kahlo’s passport. It’s a doll.

Jesus, what in inane debate.

“She has a pretty great life.”

I used to help her personal shopper a lot when I still worked in luxury retail. She bought a shit ton of Loro Piana and I can tell by that closet she still does. The woman has flawless taste. Her shopper was lovely to work with, too.

Many years ago my brother, who was in his mid-20s at the time, got cancer. No other health issues until then. Always paid for his company’s insurance. A few months into treatment he got a bill from his insurance company (or maybe the doctors/hospitals?) after his insurance company refused to cover a bunch of expenses…

As a photographer, I’m not surprised it’s cliquey and sexist. Same in the photography industry. Flip through any major magazine and look at the names of the photographers. I’m an interiors photographer and I’m always frustrated by the big names in all the big mags. All men. And when I was starting out it was hard to…

I have several friends here in NYC that have it and they love, love, love it. Very few theaters are exempt, there are no blackout dates, times or movies.

This isn’t news. Every single app already does this. I mean, people are willing to let Amazon and Google listen to them fucking for the convenience of not having to turn on their own music. Just close the app when not using, turn off location services for it or turn them off altogether when done.

*there...oops

Fellow addict here. But of a different sort. I’m in three 12-step programs (OA, DA and ACA) and they’ve changed my life into something I only used to dream about. It works if we work it.

Did they let Jamie bring Katie? Or was their a holding room for white SOs?

Well said. Tiffany is real. Beyonce spends every waking moment cultivating an image. And Tiffany can keep it real and still be amazing without a Beyonce endorsement.

I cycle 20-30 miles a day in NYC and find spinning absurd. I take it once in while at Equinox if it’s been raining and I need to add some cardio, but it is truly lame. Although the consistency of the speed in a class is a more continuously cardio-intensive workout, without the mind/body/reflex connection it’s just so…

I always love biking past the window of a spin class. An hour of biking to someone else’s lame techno and you end up right where you were when you started? Oh dear.

Ugh, that’s awful. Rashida, you’re better than this.

Where’s his trusty bottle of water...

Retouching of that nature frequently renders images unqualified for many contests. Anything journalistic—and these seems to fall in that category—can’t be manipulated beyond exposure and sometimes a little color correction but even that can be a dealbreaker.

You’re coming off the rails in that you’re arguing points that aren’t relevant—why do we care how “known” she is now, 20 years later. Come again? And how does her career trajectory magically inject her with the knowledge of what really happened when all McGowen told her that had happened was that she consensually got…
