Picture #20
Does...does that model have curves?? On her hips and thighs??? Quel horreur!
(Note: that picture is beautiful and gorgeous. I wish more models nowadays had beautiful curvy figures like that model)

Everything has already been said about her at this point, but I'm still kind of dumbfounded that she herself isn't embarrassed about all of the obviously derivative editorials she does, not to mention the re-runs.

(I simply can't believe how ugly and unflattering the clothes and frizzy hair were--and I was in my 20s in the 80s.)

I much prefer the old school style, and now I has a sad.

And there point is what? I imagine most people would have enough clothes in their closet to create a different outfit over the course of two weeks. Especially someone who wants to work in fashion and be around clothes. Maybe if they'd said over the course of a month, I'd be aghast, but two weeks? Nothing in fashion really.

They don't want to have sex until they get married, so what? Unless they've called those who do have sex before marriage diseased whores, I don't get what the big deal is. If slut shaming is bad, why isn't virgin shaming?
21 is young to get married but it isn't that young. I was a college graduate at 21 living on my own in a city where I didn't know anyone. 21 is a grown up. A year also really isn't that crazy fast to get engaged.

All of that said, I do with them luck.

I'm not so sure they are in the highest divorce group, even if they got married this second (your link doesn't give a source). I'm pretty sure the odds of divorce in a first marriage are highest for teens and slowly decline until age 25, which is what these sources say:

[www.huffingtonpost.com]
But I still don't think it really matters. No age group has a 100% divorce rate.
@heykoukla: @clotheswhorse: Maybe its because I don't follow the Jonas Brothers so I've missed them making a big deal of it, but I assume people know because they ask. I don't have a problem with people mentioning their plan to wait until marriage anymore than I have a problem with someone discussing how they lost their virginity on Howard Stern. I personally wouldn't do it, but I don't care if other people do.

What bothers me is the idea there is something wrong with them for not having sex.

@Rosaxé: I imagine the cute popular Jonas Brothers waiting is probably helpful to some younger teens who might feel pressured. The ones who don't want to wait have lots of media role models.

I understand that this was a horribly tragic thing, but when I watch the news in the morning I should be able to find at least one news station that isn't broadcasting speculative stories about how he died (i.e. could he have overdosed on this drug? how about this one? I feel like we have a better shot at finding the answer if we look at this one...).
If we need to know how he died that badly, why not wait until a coroner's report has been released and report on that. In the meantime, I would request that stations like CNN focus on things other than MJ.

For instance, this morning Sanjay Gupta was trying to figure out what sleep aid MJ was addicted to. He postulated that it could be over the counter, or it could be prescription, it could even be something that anesthesiologists use. All of this was happening ON AIR. I lost a little respect for Dr. Gupta, and even more for CNN (who began the downworld spiral in my esteem during the Iranian election aftermath).
I know they are driven by numbers, and they have budgets to meet as well, but I just wish they wouldn't stoop to what ifs. I was always under the impressio that was for the beginning stages of an investigative journalism piece, not for broadcast.
