    I find photos of the president not so much cute as comforting in that it reassures me that my president actually understands other people exist in the world, and he genuinely likes hearing from them. I did not believe the same of W. Oh sure, he knew people existed in the abstract, but interacting with them without coming across as pandering or phony? Not so much. #vanityfaironcuteness

    Honestly, I think the reason the "cute" stuff may be everywhere is because the economy and world situation sucks right now. The cuteness makes people happy, even for a minute. People like to be happy and smile and if a picture of a kitten does that for them, they will look at it. They need a break sometimes from the bad stuff. #vanityfaironcuteness

    This dude needs a Mad Men marathon. Or perhaps Tool Time? Grunt, snort, burp.

    We're ALL biologically wired to be protective of and drawn toward the round-headed, big eyed CUTE widdle babeh, bunneh, kitteh, you get the picture. #vanityfaironcuteness

    Oh yeah? I have a sleeping kitten on my lap. And I think it's BADASS.

    I am the biggest girly-girl when it comes to cute animals, which people find humorous when they learn it. Mostly because I am a raging tomboy - I wear cargo pants and hoodies and I'm into science and math and shit, and here I am cooing over a kitten. #vanityfaironcuteness

    @KentuckyBabe: People who genuinely don't like all animals are completely confusing to me. Like, okay, you don't like cats because your mom had a bitchy cat that clawed you as a child? Okay. Dog bit you? Okay. But people who are like, "I just don't like animals," it's so baffling to me. There are so many kinds of animals! How can you dislike all of them? Unless you have mad allergies or something. I realize that I'm kindof a crazy animal person, so that's just out of my experience, though.

    It's kindof like the woman I encountered at the Humane Society who was terrified of guinea pigs. Just terrified. I have no idea why, but she saw the one I was holding and freaked out. It was so weird. #vanityfaironcuteness

    1. I understand being bothered by the cute thing if it's not your thing; for a long time I hated the intentional-misspelling LOLCATZ meme. But then I got over it, because actually pictures of adorable baby animals are fantastic and make everybody feel good.

    2. Not liking cute things is in no way the same as being the only person that realizes cute things are the Downfall Of Society by virtue of gayification and femmification and otherwise undermining our Natural National Manliness. The fact that you came to this conclusion does in fact make you a maniac, Mr. Windolf.

    3. Oh em goodness that ridgeback + micropiglet link almost killed my cynicism. I need a warning before being exposed to that level of adorable. #vanityfaironcuteness

    Eh. I too kinda find the obsession with cute kinda annoying. Doesn't mean I'm gonna pen an article for Vanity Fair about it. Some people like cute shit; others don't. News at 11. #vanityfaironcuteness

    Whoa, my sister and I just had a long conversation about our careers over cupcakes - who knew we were infuriating the patriarchy in 2 ways?!
