Dawn sucked, but season 5 was very good.

It would have been pretty simple if she just didn’t. This music video didn’t need to romanticize colonialism.

Funny, I call it jezzy-belly to myself.

This video is a mess, and she should never have used Africa as a set piece. I am a little surprised that someone with such a strongly controlled image made such a misstep.

Which is part of the problem, and is part of the narrative as Africa as one big country, with no individual or regional identities. This npr article is much more eloquent than I could be in this comment: http://www.npr.org/sections/goats…

Bubble nails were truly an atrocity. It looks like they have disfigured nails, I just don’t get it.

I really also like the plum variations with the french tips and gold next to the tortoise shell. Not sure why they had to ruin it with the blue and fug 3d pieces.

I hate these. I don’t mind maybe a well placed rhinestone on some manicures, but these are too over the top for me.

This is basically out Out of Africa the music video. If you do not see a problem with the colonialism vibes in this video, and being almost exclusively white people in some generic mysterious ~Africa idk what to tell you.

YES

WAIST TRAINERS AREN’T CORSETS. I get that you think you are being helpful/prowomen, but waist trainers don’t do any damage because they don’t give any lasting results. You can’t shrink your waist/change your shape like you can with corsets. Not to mention the Kardashian photoshop their instagram pics to hell and back,

Honestly, small waists are thing for a lot of women. It has nothing to do with men, and is mostly (unhealthy) body competition with other women. I remember reading a story from some reporter at the Golden Globes and she said all the female celebs were discussing who has the smallest waist, no one gave a shit which one

My parents never did. They told me as a teen repeatedly to never get in cars with people that were drinking (I didn’t get my license in HS so me driving wasn’t a concern), but they never had a specific drinking talk that I remember. I didn’t drink until my senior year of HS, and I am sure my parents knew at the time

Kanye said said something disgusting about how Tyga “got in there early and was smart.” By all tabloids accounts (and non-confirmations from her family) they have been dating since she was 16, and are just now public about it.

All I know is French Sole/London Sole are NOT worth the money. I bought into the hype, and they look like perfect attractive ballet flat. I knew going in they had no support, but really no support! The leather is so thin, they wear down so quickly. Blisters until I broke them in which is normal, and I am fine with but

Truly, the only person I recognized and knew what show they were from was Molly Tarlov, though I did not know her name. I am only 25, but I just can’t/don’t care about youtube or vine stars. I thought Arielle Vandenberg was a very thin Hillary Duff until I read her name, idk.

I mean I know Matt Lauer is still here for the ridiculous amount of money they pay him, but does he really need it? He seems down right miserable being there. At this point I don’t know why they keep renewing his contract, the NBC execs must know how universally disliked he is.

My real favorite morning show is CBS Sunday Morning, I don’t know who the actual host is but Mo Rocca is the correspondent I see the most. They don’t do a lot of real news, but mostly human interest pieces. It seems like it may be geared for older people/the elderly, but if I am up early enough on a Sunday I enjoy it.

Its par for the course with these shows tbh. NBC does the same thing with any show they have (i.e. The Voice) and any show they that is on one of their parent networks.

Hoda and Kathie Lee are so stupid and fun and watchable. If you need background morning tv, the fourth hour of the Today Show is the best.
