BoBo, we've talked about this. Your brother does NOT look like he's stoned OR like Frank McCourt. Well, a little like Mr. McCourt, but you know he doesn't like when you tease him and that's speaking ill of the dead! Bad dog! Bad! #arcadenoe

I totally called the sugar-coated Lindsay story about the break-up...

Then again, maybe instead of media misunderstanding and whatnot that always prompted the conflicting story between the tabloids and Lindsay's blog, this time it's that she's hurting and doesn't want to admit that it's over?

Hang in there LL...

P.S. Dear Kanye,

I know she didn't actually say anything, but I would like to invite Tracy Anderson to STFU. That woman is the queen of the Tiny Weights Brigade. She promotes that near pathological fear people have of women with actual muscles in their arms and legs.

So STFU Tracy Anderson.

@whynotshesaid:

I had no idea who Tracy Anderson was until I read this article, so I went and googled her.

It took me to her website and I checked out the gallery and... goddam, there's no way it can possibly be healthy to be that thin. It just doesn't make sense for anyone to be that skinny and still be as strong, vital and healhty as one could be.

Ok ok, not that yesterday's race thread still has me broiling or anything but, to those of you who always question the existence of White privilege, let me give you an example.

Amy Winehouse runs around topless in public in purposeful defiance of local law.

Public reaction: "Oh that Amy! Tee hee hee!"

Janet Jackson's nipple is exposed for 2.5 seconds on national television because a White man unintentionally(?) pulls part of her costume off during a routine.

Public reaction: Outrage and banishment from the Grammys. For Janet. Only.

Oh and before you say "Amy wasn't on tv!" go back and count how many Amy/Britney/Paris/Lindsay crotch shots made it on the air last year.

Relentlessly entertaining!

2. The reaction to the Nipplebowl thing was completely ridiculous.

3. Your comparison still doesn't really hold up.

I'm not going to argue about this today, and there are plenty of really good points to be made about white privilege in the US and UK. This is just not one of them.

@GeorgeFayne: @Macloserboy: Alright, alright...I knew people wouldn't like the comparison because the events are too dissimilar. But choose whatever examples you like, on White women this kind of behavior is considered brassy and giggle-worthy and on minority women it's considered lewd and disgraceful.

My first reaction to Amy Whitehouse was "Yeah right, let a Black woman try to do this and let's see if you find it entertaining" ...but then I would have been called "paranoid" and "race-obsessed" and the trolls would pop up demanding that I prove it.

Damn you, racism, DAMN YOU!

I really want to know what carbs ever did to anyone other than nourish them. Carbs are not these evil demons that inhabit your body and make you fat. They're food. Unless you're deathly allergic to something, NO FOOD should be treated as though it's a dirty bomb that you need to get away from you.

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Atkins was big when I was in college. A nutritionist friend of mine once put it beautifully "Yeah, you'll lose weight on Atkins. Know what else makes you lose weight? Cutting off a leg." Also, know what happens as soon as your body gets carbs in it again? YOU GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK!

@kaiwhakamarie:@BlondeGoddess: Women after my own heart. I'll have to make you my brownies sometime. Or my chocolate chip cookie dough brownie pie. Or my raspberry yum yums. Or chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. All the carbs a growing girl needs.

@LaComtesse: Eh, I tend to agree with you. But my mom doesn't. She realized she needed to lose some weight and get healthier, so she went on some form of Atkins with very little carbs. I don't like it, but she feels great and it's working for her. I've tried it before, including in junior high, which I now realize is very effed up. I need bread. So I'm probably just bitter that we can't go eat Italian together.

@lalaland13: I think the anti-carb diets are like any form of calorie cutting -- you're just cutting out calories from one particular source of them. Just like trying to cut out all fat or whatever. My problem with the "don't even eat THIS food group" diets is that we talk about BALANCED diets for a reason.

@lalaland13: Atkins did address something, but indirectly--Americans eat a LOT of empty calories, most of which are carbs. So no, you SHOULDN'T eat a bag of Doritos after a pasta dinner with white bread. That's a lot of calories, the carbs are *simple* carbs, which don't do all they could for you nutritionally. There's also not enough variety in most people's diets: they don't get adequate vegetable intakes, which Atkins encourages. But any diet that says "Bacon: yes. Whole grain and fruits: no." has got something wrong with it.

@LaComtesse: I am with you. I mean, sure, if all you eat are potato chips and marshmallow fluff sandwiches on Wonder bread and Cheez Doodles, then yeah, you might want to back off the carbs a bit. But cutting out all carbs - like fruit and whole grain bread and pasta - is just ridiculous, because you get your energy from carbs. Plus, fiber is a really good thing. You kind of need it.

I am so anti- anti-carb diets, it's not even funny. Not least of all because low-carb diets - particularly Atkins - makes people stink like day-old unwashed ass. So yeah, you'll be skinny, but then no one will want to be near your smelly ass, so who gives a shit?

@lalaland13: It's something I ran into with the people I knew who had been on it for several months. I could not get near them because they smelled so funky, including this one girl that I worked with who was so sweet but I had to stand across the room from her because her body was just funky smelling. Like Hiroine Protagonist said, I think it has to do with ketosis. It's nothing that a shower could take care of. It certainly wasn't BO, that's for sure.
