Gee, Aisha Curry... Could it be that Tameka's title is similar to yours because "You're pretty for dark-skinned girl" is a back-handed compliment that too many dark-skinned girls hear all too often?
And that maybe the points between your book and her post are similar because there are commonalities between women who have experienced that kind of scrutiny about their looks?
The actual quote from London Daily Mirror from Katy Perry: "She knows what she's doing. She put something in her knickers, a mini strap-on. Bless her if she does have a d*** but I am certain she doesn't."
Much kinder, less damning, and more openly amused than Ms. Wappler's very high-speed spin. ('calculated' has a very different feeling) Slow news day, LA Times?
Nor any suggestion that she herself doesn't know what she's doing.
@NoelleBlue: What's up with British tabs making Americans sound British? Perry saying "knickers", Blanket asking if Michael was "on holiday"? If it's a flippin' quote, I can see turning mom to mum. But knickers?! end rant.
@NoelleBlue: Katy is HUGE in the UK, and I've heard her talk that way on Scott Mills. Maybe she thinks it makes her sound more interesting? Sadly, it does not.
Iago from "Othello" is a villain. Satan from Milton's "Paradise Lost" is a villain. Humbert Humbert of "Lolita" is a villain. These are characters with depth, complexity, and allow us to reflect on the darker side of the human condition.
The article about David Nordahl and MJ was fascinating. I hope the exhibition goes on tour, which seems to have been something that both men had planned on. It will be such an interesting glimpse into MJ's thoughts and life - and for once it won't be invasive of his family's privacy.
@dianersb was bit by a zombie: I find it odd that anyone asks Billy Ray his opinion anymore, given the stupid things he says almost constantly, thanks to his achy-breaky brain.
Ugh I hate to say it but that's actually one of the more sensible things I've ever heard Spencer Pratt say. Normally he's going around talking about how talented Heidi is and how awesome they both are, which clearly makes one question his grip on reality. At least this statement is semi-lucid. "Yeah, I'm a complete dickbag, I'd hate me too if I weren't benefiting from it so much."
Claire Danes is so strikingly gorgeous, its almost maddeningly unfair! BTW, if anyone knows a secret to having such fantastic legs (other than genetics and photo-shop) please inform me!
@fluxus flucker: I believe she is quite an
accomplished dancer and has been since
childhood. Dancers have beautiful legs and
they work long and hard to get 'em. I wish
I could jump in a time machine and use
that knowledge.
Maybe I'm just naive, but I have a hard time believing that Lady Gaga or her people put the intersex rumor out there. There doesn't seem to be an actual source for it and I think someone out there on the internets just thought it would be funny to spread a rumor that "OMGZ, Lady Gaga haz a penis!!1!! LOLZ!!1!!!1!!!"
@Maggita: No. It most certainly is not. Because I'm already fantasizing about all the places I would wear that dress. Not that I have anywhere to go where a one-sleeved metal dress would be appropriate, but damn it I'd wear it anyway.

Or maybe it just fundamentally calls the whole quote into question?

You, sir, are merely an asshole.

@notthrilled: Heh. PM me for all Lolita talk, which I am ALWAYS up for. Should be fun because I completely disagree with you.

Hehe. While he is a cutie patootie, I have a feeling that Angela Chase would not approve of this descriptor.
