I understand what you’re saying...but, I think in Parker’s case-as an average to kinda’ homely-looking [white] woman (which I hate saying), the slender/toned body was the great equalizer. See also,Christine Baranski, Linda Hamilton, etc.

I think if Jan, had said these things about another white woman, you would have a point. This is a racial issue. Plain and simple. Was it a little petty to make fun of Jan...probably. But, it is about a white woman, trying to police a Black woman’s body. There are nuances and differences, and if you can’t see…
I would also add for myself Clueless. I just felt like whether you were Black, white, Asian, gay, ghetto or bougie...it was a movie that I and anybody, could drop into and just have fun and belong.
I’m kind of eye rolling and shrugging all of this. I did early voting here in Atlanta, then I went for a run. That’s my political wokeness for the day. Donna Brazille was always...well, let’s put it this way. My main thought was I wonder who is going to option the book, OWN or HBO? Plus, my top three choices to play…
YMCAs and community rec centers, often have kid centric fitness and sports. Plus, I go to LA Fitness, and most, not all, have a Kid’s Corner (which is just daycare).
I have to kind of agree with you. Mary J. Blige was the major breadwinner and she employed him. Basically, his lively hood—and those of his children depended on her. Also, I don’t know how long they dated before marriage, but 13 years is a long time to be in those kids’ lives, so I’m going to assume some sort of…
You are completely right. I didn’t realize it until I watched a documentary about it last year. It really hit home that humans need to be fully informed before we make these judgments. I felt like I had been duped...until, I realized that I hadn’t made any effort to know more.
I think I love you.
I don’t think that you are being cynical, just realistic. They were together 13 years, 8 settlements, the fact that so many of the women in his films wore her clothes and she hadn’t actually done anything to court them, they just did because of his pressure. Plus, I would add the divorce. If I found out that my…
Having watched her show, I’m hoping that Margaret Choi, Rosie O’Donnell and Rachel True are there for her, plus non famous folks we don’t know!
LoL! I will admit there have been times after previews where I have forgotten for a moment, what film I came to see because of this!
In particular a brand like Dove. It’s not on the level of Coke-that would be Ivory or Dial, but it’s on the Pepsi level of popularity. It’ll never be #1, but people will buy it. It’s not that much work.
Actually, I’m more hesitant due to the storyline of her apparently not knowing who the father of her child is and no Hugh Grant. The trifecta of Zellweger-Firth-Grant is what really makes those movies great to me. But, it’s on Netflix, so once I finish the book, I’m going to watch! Wish me luck!
You have a point...but. Kim Cattrall as Samantha is so wonderful, that without her. Yeah, I just don’t know. I’m currently reading the third Bridget Jones book, check the Dollar Tree, that’s where I found it! And so far, I like it! However, the third BJ’s film, is a totally different beast (although, I admit to…
Yeah, I don’t get that. I know it has Patrick Stewart and Marina Sirtis...but, two British people on the cast, doesn’t make it a British show! Especially, with that weird alien/transatlantic thing that Sirtis does.
I would also add Fashion Fair (I’m 46 and used to by it in the 90s from the base exchange/department store (where you can still purchase it), Posner, Black Radiance, Cover Girl’s Queen Collection (Queen Latifa’s line); all three can be found in the drugstore. Plus, whenever I go into Walmart, Target, etc. I see a…
I won’t argue with you, but Barbi Benton was earlier in life, before Hef, in my opinion, got into a bubble. When they were together he was still young, viral and many of his peers were still alive. I think both women loved him, just at different points in life, and the relationships were different. I also, say this as…
You are so on point with this. I used to watch the Girls Next Door, and I think that Holly was the epitome of this. She loved him and became everything that he said and she thought that he wanted. But, he could never truly love her, as he could never see her as an individual. Just as someone “made” for him. The thing…
You are so right about white women being mad that Oprah supported Obama over Clinton. I remember watching, I think it was CNN and there was a group of white women, save one Black woman. And basically, all were angry and saying that they would not vote for Obama. The camera zooms in on the Black woman, and you can just…
