    That boob sniffing thing endears me to her. I scratch my head and sniff my fingers sometimes. Everyone thinks it's gross, but it's like a compulsion. #mariahcareylarrykinglive

    @Penny: There are few things on my body that I don't smell- my scalp, behind the ears, the pits a la Mary Katherine Gallagher, boob sweat, you name it.

    I am disgusting and I own it! People immediately endear themselves to me when they admit they don't take showers daily and like their own grody body smells. #mariahcareylarrykinglive

    Well, according to Beyonce, it's a female version of a Hustler. Which begs the question: What is a Hustler? #mariahcareylarrykinglive

    I'm so glad I got tuned onto this just in time to see some random lady nursing a drink, and Kathy Griffin quietly sitting in a chair backstage. This is bizarre in the best way possible.

    @save jinger: SHUT YO' MOUTH! None of those women are in the same league as Jessye Norman. Literally, the singing they do is a whole 'nother art form.


    Aretha might be able to lay claim to equal divatude but I'd still have to see her take Ms. Norman head-on in a battle royale and get an official decision.

    @nyc-caribbean-ragazza: Undoubtedly!! She is on the Board of Directors of an organization I work with and she once threw a very refined hissy fit during a conference call because she didn'tt feel people were giving enough weight to her opinion. She ended with:


    "Good day to you all, I'm hanging up now"
    SLAM!


    That's how it's done bishes.

    In reply to "I Am A Princess" And, Apparently, A Narcissist
    I've seen some pretty tacky onesies lately. Since I'm pregnant they're all I notice in stores.


    I'm having a boy so thankfully I can avoid all the 'princess' and 'diva' outfits I keep seeing everywhere. But I have seen a few for boys that I detest, such as onesies that say 'chick magnet', or 'future beer drinker', etc. They are stereotypical, offensive and inappropriate. Not to mention stupid and unfunny.


    At my baby shower I got one that said, 'future rockstar', which was cute because my Husband is a mucisian. I also got one that said, 'If Mommy says no, ask Grandma', which was kind of silly/stupid but not really so much offensive.


    I was thrilled to find that Dollar Tree of all places had $1 t shirts and onesies for newborns that say things like, 'Save the Earth' and 'Love Your Ocean'. :)

    A lot of this strikes me as just the newest iteration of the typical middle class aspiration to "upper class" leisure - daughters who can act like "princesses" without having to prove themselves are conspicuous consumption. But like everything, this trend has gotten increasingly sexualized and "hit-me-over-the-head" (rather than at least pretending to be subtle about it).
