C’mon, its funny!
I missed the Academy Awards tonite, but I had to share Justin Vivian Bond’s tweets, which I cut-and-pasted from v’s FB wall. There should be a book of JVB zingers and witticisms, the likes of which tonite, from what I hear, were funnier than Ellen’s! JVB is such a sardonic wit, check out Putin is the New Kitty Litter , from her vid series, The Drunk News, to see what I mean.
Following JVB’s tweets are a couple of FB posts made by Prince Terrence, (a NYC-based DJ), that I also found funny. I was going to post a whole thread I came upon about Gabourey Sidibe’s weight, where people were alternately mean, embarrassed or worried for her, but I won’t add to the scrutiny. As I commented, much of it seemed misguided and unhealthy, the very criticisms being waged at her, as IMHO its her life and her career and there are far more productive ways to address issues of health and obesity. She must be so overwhelmed by fame and the spotlight that any defensive posture on her part they read as arrogance has to be understandable. Still, I guess its the same as when people get very disturbed by seeing someone anorexic, they insist it must be addressed, its life-threatening, etc. I don’t know, for me there’s a fine line between collective concern and moral bullying when it comes to dealing with the idea of self-harm…
As for the best dressed lists, W’s picks make me think I didn’t miss much, sartorially speaking (Tina Fey’s dress, srsly?), and British Vogue left me equally blah (though I loved the trend of navy/inky blue). Pharrell and Helen Lasichanh both in suits by Lanvin did make me happy, though!
The best thing about Jennifer Lawrence is that I prefer to watch her act more than anything else she does. #Oscars2014

“On point.” Put that on the “no-fly” list with “age appropriate”, fashion common taters.

I hate “Buddy” talk. Unless it’s the guy at the Mexican joint I order from cause he makes me feel like Bea Arthur.

Just saw a Skinny Girl wine collection ad. Thought they said “Whine Collection”. Have they ever been to NYC? You don’t have to collect that

The term “age appropriate” should only be applied to people who are not adult -especially when it comes to fashion.

Lili Haze apparently so, however i didn’t find the film to be that great. the story is great. but I didn’t care for the film it self. it will only win due to its historically value.
