I have a pretty high tolerance for stuff like this, but this actually made me want to vom. It feels like a primary school skit gone horribly, horribly wrong. It reminds me of when my all-girls' sixth form (high school) put on a play called The Willow Pattern (apparently based on a Chinese fable), and the drama teacher in charge saying, "it's going to be very authentic". This meant putting us all in silk bathrobes, painting geisha make-up on us, and having us bow a lot. Japanese-style. This was despite the four or five (including myself) Chinese girls cast whom she could have consulted at any time. We did raise the point, but by then it had become 'artistic license'. But hey! I say grotesque parody, you say charming pastiche.

"Blackface" already has a definition and this is not it.

And this obession with the "oriental" culture is both timeless and respulsive. Gah! I've said it before and I'll say it again if these asshats want an Chinese/black/Scandinavian person to photograph then get one.Fashion people need to concentrate on making clothes not ripping off cultures and calling it inspired.
"People around the world like to dress up as different nationalities." As evidenced by this halloween, he is unfourtunatley, very truthful.

If this cover were to appear on a US magazine, Jezebel would be calling out the mag, not an entire nation.
As a proud Australian citizen, who finds both the blackface sketch on Hey, Hey It's Saturday and the Tangent cover repugnant, I'm a little disappointed by the fact that it seems that every time a negative story that comes out of Australia is featured here on Jezebel, the poster uses it to make a statement about my entire nation.
It's lazy, sloppy journalism and far less than I expect from my otherwise beloved Jezebel.

Seriously, whenever we watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" we all groan at the terrible "asianface" neighbor and try to forget about how racist and fucked up it is and how it detracts from a perfectly enjoyable classic movie. Up until recently, it seemed like no one thought it was acceptable to do this anymore. Why has it suddenly become fashionable??

When will someone make a pair of jeans for women who have a larger stomach in proportion to their hips, thighs and butt? I can't be the only one with this problem. If they fit my legs and ass, they're way too tight for my waist. If they fit my waist, they give me baggy-butt-syndrome. I suppose I could eat only frozen grapes and do 1,000 crunches a day but I don't want to, nor should I have to! For fuck's sake denim manufacturers, get with the program.

Jeans are tough, but I have always had great luck with Diesel (you just have to try a gazillion styles, but when you find a good one, it's heaven), AG (Angel style).
The worst I've tried have been Joe's and J Crew (always tight in the waist and baggy everywhere else).
Also, look for jeans with stretch.

My last kiddo's womb-instincts were a little hazier: I craved the smell of gasoline. Yeah.
Also, Jerry Hall: Hell yeah! I am sick to fucking DEATH of people IRL acting snotty. Just smile. Say thank you, no thank you, yes sir, yes ma'am, and "that's a great color on you" even to complete strangers and you WILL be a happier, potentially better person for it.
