One more on this...
Hey, USA TODAY?
It's a rape case. Not "sex" -- rape.
Please understand the difference.

"Go on, take the money and run."
Wait, what? There's a woman shaped like me on a magazine cover? A fitness magazine cover?
The hell? Is that even legal? Holy shit, is the world ending?
I'd already been feeling fairly decent about my body lately...but THIS?
Damn, I'm an American woman whose self-esteem seems to be hovering around normal -- someone better send out a rep from Corprate to shut that shit down.
That's probably why there are ads inside the magazine, just to remind me that I am, in fact, too big for my britches.

It's in "People" magazine. Because it happens to People.
I just learned that May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so I'm going to post about it a bit, even though the posts never really go well. But I have a lot of friends who deal with mental health issues, and I dabble (maybe), so I think it's important. Though I'll try not to harp on it, because I understand it's kind of a buzzkill.
Plus, Kristen Bell, who's just delightful. And duh, obviously the little sister from Frozen was depressed and anxious, damn. Elsa was all shitty and agoraphobic, totally repressed because her parents wouldn't let her feel her feelings. Wouldn't even build a snowman with her kid sister, SHIIIT.
That's why Anna was sad, disenchanted, and about to marry some asshole she'd known for a day just so she could get some attention. Baby girl had ISSUES.
(Seriously, though, good for her for talking about it, and in People magazine -- possibly the most mainstream publication ever. And being chill about it, just, "Hey, this is common, and seeking help for it isn't something you should be ashamed of.")

Today in "Fun with Photoshop"...
Um...*raising hand*
Did I miss a memo? Is this what Drew Barrymore's face looks like now? 'Cause I Googled her, and... I don't think it is.
But OK, Harper's Bazaar. You do what you need to do. Even if it's really fucking weird.

Her axle is decidedly not draggin'.
DAMN, girl!
Three things:
1. Looks like I'll have to go buy Cosmo for the first time in 100 years.
2. I love how the cover encourages women to "UP YOUR CASH FLOW"...right next to her boobs.
3. I can't WAIT to get my new 2016 ass. I really hope it arrives in time for New Year's.

In which I betray the sisterhood.

Honest question -- how are you gonna shit on him for "man-splaining" when he's...a man....you've asked...to explain something? I don't think there was anything wrong with his answer. P.S. He's an up-and-coming comedian about to take over a massive empire of a TV show. Exactly what 18- to 34-year-old male boat do you think he wants to rock right this minute?
That cover represents the CURRENT late-night hosts. Samantha Bee's show won't be on for months yet; Chelsea Handler's show isn't on anymore. If anything, I'm happy the cover is making so many people go, "Oh, hey, yeah, this IS a large group of white fucks. Let's talk about that."
I'm sure when Samantha Bee's show gets closer, she'll have a ton of covers (she BETTER), and I'm super excited to have a lady in late-night, but for right this second, yeah, it's kind of a sausage-fest.
Get Shonda Rhimes on this, man. "Night Times with Shonda Rhimes?" I'd watch the HELL out of that.

"Against Kerry Washington, you will lose."
I read Self magazine because I applaud the bold, innovative way they've cleverly shortened the title from Self-Loathing.
But also, the latest cover model is Kerry Washington, who is my personal Jesus. And in the interview, she says she begins her day by drinking a liter of water with lemon and doing pilates. (Or, after a liter of water, pee-lates, I can only assume.)
Today I was thinking about how I started my morning:
"Well, Self, I swore out loud at the alarm clock and hit 'snooze' 86 times. I hoisted myself out of bed angrily and fumbled around naked looking for an outfit, anything that fits because I'm never sure anymore. And then I shoved Lexapro and two types of OTC drugs into my sinus-infection-addled face with a Dixie cup of tap water from the bathroom sink, followed by an enormous vat of coffee, and now I am finally, but still barely, able to face humanity."
This is why they don't let me talk to the media. And why Kerry Washington never returns my calls.
