    I adore Sherrie Sheppard, there, I said it. We can't all be rocket surgeons, and I think she can be hilarious. I don't watch The View more than a couple of times a year, but I've seen her stand up and her new (lifetime?) sitcom looks like it might be funny. I can see how The View might be a little outside her milieu, but I love any woman that can make me belly laugh.

    That has to be without a doubt one of the worst covers in the history of print media.

    @Rosaxé: While I appreciate the challenge of cramming five people and a bunch of words on a cover, this is just wretchedly awful. I'd be embarrassed to read it in public. Looks like something out of Awkward Family Photos.

    Sherri Shepard: "And Jonathan Rhys Meyers? I am like predator cougar on that boy. I will hurt you."

    Now, what do we think about women who call themselves cougars? Are they getting sucked in to misogynistic brainwashing or are they defending their agency?

    @Mary McCarthyite: I think its a defense mechanism, because cougars can still be considered hot and are sexually driven, women invoke it will head off comments like "But you're way too old for him." It goes with all the anti-aging stuff being discussed in other threads, there is a horrible fear that aging will make a woman invisible, so we say "Well I'm a cougar" to try and regain some of our power, or the perceived power that comes with being young and sexy.

    @Mary McCarthyite: I think Sherrie was making a joke. Most women I know who would describe themselves with the term cougar use it like the Jezzies do - sarcastically and with an eyeroll.

    "My husband, Tim [Hasselbeck, former NFL quarterback], has played for two or three teams since I've been on the show, and every team he's been on, they all watch the show while they're icing their legs."

    I seriously just pictured a bunch of football players applying icing to their legs. Team (Beef)Cake!

    I can't believe that Barbara is congratulating someone who co-hosts a show covering current events, on reading the newspaper everyday. Shouldn't that be a given?

    I really doubt that Tim Hasselbeck was ever influential enough to choose the locker room programming. Besides, everybody knows that Eli Manning throws a fit if he doesn't get to watch the Price is Right.

    @BlueMorpho: What are you talking about? Everyone knows the second-string QB is in charge of the TV! If by "in charge" you mean "physically changing the channels when they lose the remote."

    Eli likes to guess how much stuff costs and then he uses a calculator to figure out how many he can buy with his new ginormo contract. "That Cadillac is $50K - I can buy 2,000 of them!"

    Best part of that story: thinking of hot football players lounging on the couch half dressed and icing. Catch 'em at their most vulnerable.

    @angryblackgurl: I concur. Everybody, and I mean everybody in my family used her products when I was a little girl. My great-aunt Edna wore one of her wigs after she lost her hair during her chemo treatments for her breast cancer. And it was so great to have makeup to play with as a little dark-skinned black girl.
    Peace be with her family at this time.

    It's very disturbing when you realize there were more black women in magazines in the 70s than they are now.

    @ShanaElmsford: It's because we're post-racial. You know, no one sees color, so how do you know that there aren't any non-white people? Because you're racist and see color! For shame!

    By the by, I'm confused as to what post-racial actually means. As various races still exist, I don't see how someone could argue that our world is such without being utterly insane.

    My mom bought me Naomi Sims' book when I was a little kid because I was complaining about my afro 'cause the kids at school were calling me "Velcro head" and putting things in it.
    I remember it had a great section on Afro care and wonderful pictures of the stunning Ms. Sims. It did wonders for my self-esteem.
    RIP, awesome lady.

    @foodandshoes:
    Eh, it was the price of being one of the only chocolate chips in a dreadfully racist sugar cookie.
    Needless to say, I developed my deep sense of "Fuck you" at an early age. I now use it to do good in the world. And I rock the Afro 'cause it ain't ever going out of style.
    My mama, Miriam Makeba,Naomi Sims, Shari Belefonte-Harper, Vanessa Williams and Beverly Johnson were my beauty superheros in elementary school. They reinforced the idea that brown was beautiful too and came in all shades.
