Maybe this was obvious to everyone else who watches Glee but I had an, "aha" moment the other night when I realized the story of Rachel and Finn is the exact same story as Elpheba in Wicked...minus the green face paint. Witch is fitting, no? #rihannaglamourmagazine
How does Michael Lohan know what prescription meds his daughter is taking since he's been famously ESTRANGED from her for years? What a famewhoreing prick. #rihannaglamourmagazine
Confession: I've bought a Miley-designed shirt from Wal-Mart. Which leads me to the bigger confession: I shop at Wal-Mart. Regularly. Whew, feels good to get that one out there. #mileycyrus
@Everything MidnightBikeRide does is a balloon.: When I went there the other night looking for left over Halloween candy some of her stuff was pretty cute. I think Wal-Mart is just trying to get on Target's game with their cheapie designer stuff.
That being said I went on Nov 1st at 7pm and the Halloween candy had ALREADY been replaced by X-mas candy. WTF.
If they want me to get so fat that I have to buy a new wardrobe they need to give me some discount candy.

@Lizard in the Wires now with even MORE metal in the face!: Target has been really disappointing in their celeb/designer lines lately. The McQueen one was lame and the Anna Sui was sooooo expensive. I still have some stuff from the Proenza Schouler and Behnaz Sarafpour collections (several years old now) that I wear all the time, but the newer stuff has been MAJOR LAMESAUCE. I'm holding out hope for the Rodarte line. #mileycyrus
@katie.scarlett.o'hara: I haven't liked much of their new stuff either. But I thought maybe it was meant to appeal to more of a high school fashionista crowd? That was the only thing I could come up with.
But Mizrahi always brings it (well, he generally brings it). #mileycyrus
@Lizard in the Wires now with even MORE metal in the face!: Yeah, definitely. That whole Gossip Girl thing was so stupid. There was maybe one dress I liked, but the rest just looked too trendy, and it was all like $50-60! Way too much for Target.
Mizrahi is totally gone! I think his last collection was earlier this year? I really miss his stuff. Target is usually crap when it comes to shoes, but his were actually great.
I think Mossimo or whatever the Target brand is has been stepping it up lately, so we have one small thing to be thankful for, lol. #mileycyrus
Ah, Rihanna. I've been waiting for you to say that.
I kind of like that she hasn't decided to take the super-strong-woman advocate role in all of this. At least not yet.
She's been very honest about the complexities of these situations and the way you really feel while inside them... most women are not going to be able to immediately disown someone they loved. They're not going to be able to get their thoughts straight about the situation, or just know their strength and claim their worth right away. It's all very gray, and when it finally comes to the point where it has to stop, it's probably been going on so long that you've started to believe what your abuser has told you - that it's at least party your fault, that you need him, that it's really not that bad, that you're weak, that you're making a fuss over nothing. Having to step forward and end it is embarassing, almost like being offended at a joke that everyone else in the room thought was funny, and you just must not get it. It takes a while before you're ready to say, "No, I know that I'm right. This is not ok, and nothing you say will make it ok."
I didn't like her new single, Russian Roulette, at first. But then I realized that it didn't excuse anyone, it just communicated how it really feels in that moment without any of the romanticism and simplicity that hindsight brings. It's a painfully honest description of what it's actually like, before the triumphant recovery and the empowerment anthem. It's disturbing and upsetting, but that's what domestic violence is, and we shouldn't skip over that.
I wish that her photo hadn't been leaked. It was an invasion of her rights. But would as many people have been as outraged as they were if we hadn't seen it? I really don't know, but my guess is no. We don't want to see how deeply ugly it is, but because we never do, we don't ever take it seriously... we continue to have unrealistically high expectations of women, thinking they should be able to just deal with it, when we don't even know what it is unless we've been through it ourselves.
But unless we know what it is, more and more of us will inevitably have to go through it ourselves. Denial feeds this problem more than anything else. #rihannaglamourmagazine
The Lady Gaga clothing line will debut with the "Poker Face," an ingenious face-defense sheath made of lace available in avant-red, paparazzi-purple, and disco-stick-dandelion. Crown sold separately. #mileycyrus
@suck_it_monkeys: SO much word. And all my other brand name clothes, even mall store brand names like Express. I even once got a Badgley Mischka dress at TJM. LOVE. #ragtrade
@girlscoutcookie is back from hiatus: I hold an annual celebration on the date I found a purple silk Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti dress at Filene's for $112. I get the dress out, twirl it around in front of my mirror, sing it Happy Birthday, and then we have cake.
So far I've worn it outside the house, um, once. #mileycyrus
" />That KOL line is pretty standard fashion for most rock boys already. I'm pretty sure the BF already has a flannel shirt and some cowboy style shirts. On the other hand, Caleb Followill is hot.
@Master.And.Everyone: I know that he's a fashion designer (and a braggart, apparently), but I have no idea what he looks like. I'm pretty sure that Karl Lagerfeld is the only designer I'd recognize on the street, and that's only because of Jezebel. :) #ragtrade
@Kivrin: Who could miss the fabulosity of Karl Lagerfeld? To quote Margaret Cho, he fans the flames of his faggotry "like he's some kind of Spanish Lady or something." #mileycyrus
OMG I remember Bata shoes. I wore them in primary school. I went to a catholic school where the uniform was bottle green dress with 2 brown stripes and we had to wear brown socks with plain brown leather lace-ups. Fashionable, it was not. #mileycyrus
@cuteasabutton: My religious single-sex high school education has limited, even to this day, my ability to wear brown leather shoes. I sympathise. #mileycyrus
