Aww... I met my husband in Christchurch. Happy memories! Also, that hat is incredible and I find the woman wearing it to be remarkably lovely. #newzealandtrottingcup
That is the most magnificent thing I have ever seen. I would wear it to work (though I might have trouble fitting through the doors). #newzealandtrottingcup
I'm so glad I didn't wear the same thing today. That would have been so embarrassing. I knew the light-up firefly was a good call. #newzealandtrottingcup
Can someone please explain to me Jezebel's fascination with the country of New Zealand? I just spent two awful years there and found nothing redeeming about the people or the place. #aislingsymes
@newjewrevue: I hope to God that you are referring to my use of cutesy colloquialisms right now (and in which case, srsly?), and not my use of non-English words. Because if it's the latter...
(Also, seriously? You bitch about Aotearoa in a post about a toddler's funeral, and when someone calls you out for being tacky, you decide to attack them for... informality? That's the line you're gonna go with?)
#tips Honestly, Viv, give it up. Your high-and-mighty act is without merit. That poor girl is most likely the only Kiwi toddler who didn't die by a relative or caregiver's hand in the past five years.
@newjewrevue: And that justifies what? Your sanctimonious and completely unrelated comments? Honestly, if you hated New Zealand then, well, I'm sorry that standards of living weren't as high as in the United States, where those standards are such a well-documented reality.
But to rag on about this in a post about the funeral of a toddler? And to then make some flippant remark about child abuse? (to prove what, by the way? That the tragedy of her death was in any way lessened by the death of others?) Well, that shit is just tacky, and distasteful. And you started this thread by asking about the alleged 'fascination' of Jezebel with Aotearoa... WTF? This isn't Flight of the Conchords, this isn't Peter Jackson, this isn't some weird fetishisation of the Haka, this is a post about a photo from the funeral of a toddler.
For crying out loud, have some respect.
@newjewrevue: Meh- I personally choose to seek pleasure through other, more rewarding venues, but diff'rent strokes, etc.
I will PM you, as this has gotten extremely off-topic, even for a dead thread.
