    i know that mariah said that shes really "not as ugly" in real life as she is in the movie, but i happen to think that she looks beautiful in the film but rather kind of scary when i see photos of her performing or at an event. #precious

    Accurate? But I thought we The Audience were meant to understand that Sapphire had made Precious such an over-the-top caricature of horrors that she becomes unreal and unbelievable? That Precious' life was so overburdened by bad luck that it appears ludicrous?

    Clearly Edelstein's review didn't make its way north of the park. #precious

    @Conchie Birdie: Like with Brokeback Mountain...that movie nearly "killed" me. My friend and I sat during the end credits and a little after that just openly weeping.

    I get that kind of vibe from Precious. Too good and "important" not to see, but will definitely rake viewers over the coals. I think going through such cathartic experiences is healthy and helps create empathy, though. #precious

    95% of the time I think she's been acting for the last 20 years, and the whole "I'm really 12 inside" diva-hello-kitty thing is just a big hilarious act. #precious

    For those who have yet to see it, Paris is Burning is available on YouTube. And yes, it is as fabulous as you have heard. Seeing it for the first time makes so much pop culture from the past two decades click into place.

    @HeatherNumber1: Agreed. I had an awesome professor in college who introduced our class to it. Turns out a few former students of his had been involved in its heyday.

    Very interesting, very well done. Totally worth watching. #voguing

    Did anyone see [Randy Jackson Presents] America's Best Dance Crew? There was a crew on there that was made up of guys and a transgender girl from the underground new york vogue scene. They were called vogue Evolution and they were AWESOME. #voguing

    While we're talking can we also look at about size-ism in fashion blogs? The Sartorialist regularly posts pix of emaciated women, often smoking cigarettes, as fashion inspiration:

    Jezebel, You are misrepresenting the quote in the last bullet point a little. The quote ends with the woman saying something to the effect of, "that was what my mom would tell me, but I don't agree with it." I think it's important to give people credit when it's due, especially when the rest of your piece is so critical (deservedly, I'm not arguing with that).
