Kendall is coming over tonight and we're meeting with the director of our stage show. Kendall just made a UCB Harold team, Internet. My girl's a fucking big deal. You don't even know about it. Actually, that's what I was taking her headshot for (she went with the second one, for anyone who hasn't been following in the comments).
Oh, and here's this sweet video we made about being women:
I would like to start this by saying that I grew up loving Barbara Walters. In third grade, my class stood around in our classroom's book corner and our teacher Miss. Hooper showed us a picture of BW from the 70s and said "This is a very important woman". I still remember that quite clearly. There's no denying she's had a long and successful career and, especially during her early years, she was a trailblazer.
All of that being said, I really would like to urge her to throw in the towel. Maybe it's ageism, but I don't really think so. I think she's just too "in it" and has been for too long. She's completely unrelatable at this point. Her political correctness drives me nuts, but mainly becasue every PC sentence out of her mouth is just DRIPPING with judgment. Barbara, you're seventy-something. Maybe it's time to share an opinion, like, actually. Not with your eyes and posture, but with words. Actual words. Winking and nudging at the audience is as blatant as just saying what you mean, so just say it already.
Also, and my good friends have heard me say it before, she is no longer helping The View serve its purpose anymore. I swear to God she only goes on three times a week to clear her name or clarify something she was misquoted on. Every time she's on she has some public statement she needs to make to clear the air, most typically when she is accused of having a strong opinion on any given topic. The show is called The View, not The Agenda, Barbara. You should know that.
I realize that all of these things I'm complaining about are habits that are a result of her news background. But she doesn't deliver the news as an anchor anymore. She does her interviews and the View and an occasional primetime special, all of which are dripping with her personal touch... but why can't she just say it? I think the fact that one of Barbara Walters' (one of the most respected and cherished news personalities of all time) biggest hurdles in life appearsy to be "honesty" speaks volumes about how information is reported to us. It should be some sort of gigantic red flag to everyone.
I worked about eight hours yesterday for the Oscars. I passed out really hard at midnight and slept until 9:40 today... whoops. I don't even sleep that late on the weekends. I think I'm coming down with something and I'm just praying it's not that gnarly flu that's going around. I don't have insurance, I don't want to go to the doctor. I'm going to drink the Airborne I got in my Christmas stocking and maybe like, get some Jamba Juice or something. I don't know. It will be fine.
Barbara Walters is telling her Barak Obama story on The View for the third time this season. Bitch.
Awesome clip, BTW:
Oh snap! DJ from Full House was on The View yesterday and she's still totally hot.
Forget the fact that she and her brother (click that link, it's a fucking treat) went all crazy Born Again or whatevs... She's adorable and is TOTALLY rocking a similar hair-do to the one she had when she was dating Steve on the show. Remember DJ and Steve? Power couple!
Here are some more screencaps of Deej on The View:
The View was poppin' per usual today. The ladies had a couple things to say about Marc Jacobs new line. Of course Barbara was up in arms about the fact that many of Marc's looks featured visible underwear... a backless dress worn with a bra, et c. "Underwear hanging out is now fashionable!"
I can't believe that Elisabeth or none of the other staff members bothered to remember that the person who really brought this look to the fashion table was Pat Fields and Sarah JP back in the day. Must have been season 4? Why'd everyone have to go and let Barbara look so ig'nant? Anyone who cares to rock that look has been doing the skinny lingerie under silk thing for years and it's just now catching on in mainstream fashion for the everyday person. Middle schoolers with shitty parents who have lots of money will be walking into social studies with their black training bras sticking out of their blouses-- this is inevitable.
That being said, this is a tricky look to bring into the forefront of fashion and I hope I'm not going to see knock-offs of this style hanging on the racks at Target. There will be nothing worse than this trend being spread to the masses without some serious guidelines being set up-- we don't need another Capri pant incident, ladies!
Here are my suggestions:
1) Don't show off anything that you didn't buy for the purpose of showing off-- no one wants to see your busted panties that you've been wearing since sophomore year of high school. I feel like that's something that should go with out saying, but my recent trip to Disneyland has proven otherwise.
Likewise, no padded bras, bras that have been worn more than 100 times, or thongs with decorations on them.
2) If you wouldn't wear a bikini, don't take the bare look too far-- I also think this should go without saying, but again, Disneyland.
3) Just because you can show your bra doesn't mean that all the other rules go out the window-- Your shirt should be a proper fit, there shouldn't be underwires or lace showing in that bumpy lace-under-cotton-that's-too thin kind of way.
4) Make sure you'll be comfortable. There's nothing worse than being in a public place and feeling like you're in your underwear.
