I think the face touching is the key part. Most people do it way more than they realize and then touch everything else. The stress I would feel going to *any* public gym right now would cancel out the endorphins, I think.  

Hell. What they are describing is hell. 

Disgraced sexual predators, they’re just...nothing like us. 

Yup. This is what it was like for me with American Apparel back in the day. Then they changed everything (after their own bankruptcy shenanigans) and I got stuck with five t-shirts that didn’t fit me properly (to their credit, they let me keep them without charging me, as the postage to return from Canada to the U.S.…

It’s exhausting. I don’t mind buying the occasional item online, but I really hope that at the end of this tunnel there are still remaining brick and mortar shops. I also hate the return process when something doesn’t fit. Yeah, they make it pretty seamless, but it’s still a whole extra step. They’re probably banking…

COVID-19 has taught me that ordering most things online is a giant pain in the ass. Groceries? Fine, we already did that anyway. But we seem to spend hours online just getting basic shit that we could have picked up way more quickly and easily in person.

I responded similarly to the person above who told me my take was “dumb,” but they apparently dismissed me. Without context, I would agree that Jordan’s comments might be ill-advised — and maybe I’m inferring too much — but it seemed to me that he was poking fun at “Gaga the Serious Artist and her Very Important…

It seems pretty clear that they were prepping a scene together and that was the context — she didn’t just jump him without his consent. He’s not outing her for assault; he’s making a tongue in cheek statement so blogs like Jezebel will post about it. 

See comment above. It sounds like a) she had his consent b) as someone who knows how to work the media (social and otherwise), he was having a little fun with a tongue-in-cheek sound bite he knew would generate blog posts like this one. He even refers to her as well-raised. Unless you think he has Stockholm Syndrome,…

Also, see comments above. It sounds like she got his consent. 

I should add that my perspective is coloured by the source. Leslie Jordan is very good at working the media and dropping sound bites for his fan base. He’s know for his audacious, funny statements and it sounds like the kind of thing he would say precisely because he knew he would get a lot of play. It doesn’t sound…

Seriously. I don’t have black hair, but I do have Jewish hair and so-called “prestige shampoo” makes all the difference. 

It’s not up to me to define someone’s experience for them. It’s possible he was relaying that he felt violated, but it seems more likely that he was being tongue in cheek — however ill-advised that might be in this case — because he thought it would drum up controversy/make better press.

It sounds like he is exaggerating for effect. If he’d been assaulted, he wouldn’t be joking about it.

To be fair, the Megan Thee Stallion bit was sweet...although the way she talks about Beyoncé also make me feel old, as though she’s “mom pop” or something. 

You know you’re old when the only person you care about in this Dirt Bag is Debi Mazar. 

That’s what I’m saying!

I’m almost certain this was planned. Does that make me a cynic? 

Then I’m not sure why you’re commenting because the article to which this blog post is referring is clearly not about you. Yes, of course there are people who roll their eyes at “country folk” who have freezers full of deer in case of an emergency, but that mostly speaks to the urban/suburban/rural divides in our…

I appreciate the idea of preparing for an emergency (as it turns out, even in our smallish urban apartment, my husband had enough peas and lentils stocked to keep us in soup for months if it came to that). I have a former manager who used to be in the military and was probably ready for COVID-19 when the rest of us…
