    Per JcPenney, I'm going to say I'm totally fur free. I'm also against eating fish eggs, so no high-end caviar, and because I'm eco-conscious, I'll make a stand and not buy myself any more cars or use private jets. My social awareness score is skyrocketing.

    "Ever since Anna Wintour adopted Adele as her new fashion protégée, we've been secretly fantasising about how their styling sessions might have gone. 'Go on, Anna - get a hot dog down you,' we'd mused Adele might have scoffed."


    I clicked on the link to read the Adele article and it was annoying, to say the least. Jezebel spoils me into forgetting that some other publications really don't have the ingenuity to imagine women having conversations about anything BUT weight. I'd be more stabby, but it's St. Patrick's Day, and I'm giving myself and everyone else a little leeway....

    People say models look angry. I say anyone wearing a neutral expression always looks about 30% more sullen in a still photograph than they do live;


    Yes! I always look pissy! I am not, I'm just neutral!

    It would be hard to play some of Rihanna's songs now without about being conscious of the horrendous irony in many of their titles.


    "Crazy little thing called Love"
    "You don't love me (no, no,no)"
    "Break it off"
    "We ride"
    "There's a thug in my life."

    Didn't all of those non-Grammy-winning men make shitloads of money by celebrating their "thuggishness?" Aren't they admired and celebrated for it? And aren't lots of men in the music business excusing Brown's behavior and managing to overlook the physical and psychological trauma he inflicted on Rihanna? In this perverse, fucked-up, misogynistic world, Chris Brown's career is likely to keep humming along.


    And didn't Tina Turner escape the shadow of Ike not by winning grammies, but by becoming a Buddhist, moving to Switzerland, and pretty much starting over with a clean slate?

    @PhillyLass: What you said. This article Hortense cited seems so wrong-headed, like a Grammy is some sort of magic totem that means everything in your life is awesome, or the some sort of absolute measure of the quality of a musician's life and value as a person. I find it such a ridiculous and offensive way to assess the situation and its hypothetical aftermath.

    Honestly, I can't listen to her music the same anymore. I'll put my player on random and if her song comes on I feel a mix of sadness, because what happened was so screwed up and anger because I want someone to go in and rescue her, but she's the only one that can get herself out of her situation.

    Maybe some time needs to pass because I get pissed off when people say he's trying to revamp his career. They BOTH need to get some help before trying to salvage any careers. And, he, well he just shouldn't have a career to speak of.

    @trianaorpheus: AGREED. I used to play Rihanna while getting ready to go out with my girlfriends or to blow off steam after a long day. I was at my friend's house last night, and "Disturbia" came on randomly, and my friend and I just exchanged sad looks and flipped to a different song. I hope that half the things I've heard in the media aren't true. I hope she's getting help. I hope that he finally realizes what horrible things he's done, and I hope he pays for them, and I hope this is the last we'll hear about him.

    @trianaorpheus: Yeah. I think if she were a diferent kind of artist, it might be different, but she makes feel good girl power pop, and I no longer feel good, or empowered, thinking about her. I like her music-- it used to be part of my go to gym mix-- but now thinking about makes me scared for her and angry and sad, so I hit skip every time one of her songs comes on. Which makes me feel complicit in punishing a woman for something that is not her fault, but I do have really complicated feelings about her taking him back and trying to save his image and so on and so forth. I think this article is stupid (Oneill's article, not Hortense's, obviously) but I don't think it's unreasonable to say that this has some repercussions for her career-- both her vicitimization, which is part of a complicated conversation about abuse that may make people uncomfortable, and her rumored decision to publicly defend her abuser, which, since it hasn't happened yet and I'm hoping it won't, I'm not judging her for yet, but I don't think discussing what that decision means is out of bounds.

    @samethingwedoeverynightpinky: Yes! I feel terrible, but I go back and forth between "I don't want to shame her and I want to show my support, but how could she take him back? What he did was terrible. But victims of abuse often go back to their abusers. Maybe he's changed, maybe he's getting help, be supportive. He's only using her so he can avoid jail and still have a career." I think a lot of fans of her feel the same as we do, but it's not kosher to say that yes, I am disappointed in her for going back to him.

    @trianaorpheus: Yeah. I think what's most offensive abou the Oneill piece (aside from calling it "their smackdown," which, eww), is that he's presuming her career is the most important issue. I, and I assume a lot of other Jezzies, are still worried about her life, and her physical safety.
