  1. Hollering ass J. Hud recently did a tribute to Mariah Carey on some award show I didn't know existed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apOYOIGFt-I Check out who's singing back-up! S3's George Huff (sporting a Lenny Kravitz-esque mane of locs). Jennifer Hudson does an admirable job with "Vision of Love". I feel like Mariah doesn't enjoy hearing her songs sang by other people so she keeps this Amber Dempsey "Little Miss Springfield" look on her face, but the truth is, Jennifer kinda ran her pockets. She reached down and un-muted the secular gospel song that Vision of Love is and made a whole First Sunday out of it.
  2. Also, I wish someone would’ve said that Trump didn’t actually call his wife ugly. In a weird way, by saying that, the person bringing it up is actually the one calling her ugly. Melania was being slut shamed for some of her past modeling photos and Trump, for some reason, threatened to spill the beans about Heidi Cruz. IDK. So then he retweeted a meme of a bad photo of Heidi and one of Melania’s modeling photos that said a picture is worth a thousand words. I remember when that happened and I got the impression that he was agreeing his wife is hotter than Ted’s wife. Still childish and kind of a low blow, but it’s not like he got on Twitter and said, “Vote for me and not Ted Cruz because he’s got an ugly ass wife!” And like I said, Ana talked a little crazy to him for me. This is a grown man not a child. Everybody was talking over one another. She just didn’t like what he was saying. Whoopi raises her voice every fucking episode and I don’t see her being all huffy about it.
  3. This episode was stupid. I'm really glad I'll never be on The View. I know if Ana said something slick to me my mouth would move like lightning. First of all, Ana, you ain't about that life. If Trump called you a fat, ugly ass bitch, I guarantee neither you nor your old ass husband are gonna do shit about it. You might get a few tweets off and that's it. Your husband is not about slide on Trump because he tried it. You're gonna sit your ass right there and deal with it. Hell, IIRC, Trump Jr. DID call you fat and you tweeted. So girl please. And don't talk down to that man about yelling...you're doing that because you know all of you were being hypocrites and he was reading y'all for filth. I hate whataboutism too, but then stop trying to play gotcha and we won't have to do all of that. And Whoopi continues to prove she's one of the dumbest women on TV. "I don't know anything about ANTIFA riots". Wooooow.
  4. Hey. Well, you guys, we made it to the end of And I Just Don't Like That... Was it good for you? Yeah, me neither. Let's just be friends. Here are some random thoughts: So Cynthia Nixon told MPK that she wasn't gonna come back unless she got her pussy ate and got to smile like an idiot for no menopausal reason? A'ight. She said, "I want Miranda to learn her ABCs: adultery, bisexuality, and cunnilingus". And MPK said you go girl. And let's make Steve fifty-five going on eighty. Miranda, yes, we all know that you don't believe in God or Heaven or any of that. We remember your secular baptism for Brady. We also remember Carrie being a better sport about it than you were given the woman's husband died. Normally I wouldn't care about someone's atheism, but Miranda you've hardly been pragmatic this season. A finger made you risk it all, so shut the fuck up. And bitch why are you still letting Che call you "Rambo" like that's the cutest pet name ever? That shit wasn't cute the first time they said it. Where is your self-esteem? I guess if Che had called you Dumbass Middle-Aged Hoe you'd be like "hyuck that's me!" And am I the only one who rolled their eyes at the whole, "Brady and Louisa are backpacking through Europe" thing? The fuck? Not only is that a bad cliche, but it's a bad, dated cliche. Brady doesn't even seem like he could find Europe on a damn map much less backpack through it. And really, show? Not one word about Brady's mom divorcing his dad for a transperson? Nope. Nada. Brady's got a girlfriend who puts out, weed, Europe and a backpack. So he's good. Uh, I've kinda thought this for a few episodes, but...does Che give off Borderline Personality Disorder vibes to anyone? They were doing a lot just to tell Miranda they got a pilot and wanted Miranda to go with them. Maybe try a phone call? I don't know. And maybe don't drag out your elderly grandmas to a gay bar to let them know. Just a thought? Anyway, that pilot is gonna get picked up by TBS and last for two seasons. Why are Harry and Charlotte so scared to parent Rock? I was so glad Anthony walked in and told Rock to start rehearsing. They should've called him in again to hold court. They went out of their way to throw that they-mitzvah and Rock just wants to go all No Labels on them. Maybe they should've tried snatching their little ass when they went by Rose. Things might have turned out a little different. And I don't know if it's intentional or not -- it's probably not -- but I feel like Charlotte is being super fake whenever Miranda talks about Che. AT&T levels of phony. And Carrie. Oh, Carrie. Still amazes me that you haven't gotten on my nerves once this entire season. The scene with her and John's brother was nice. I saw that whole "where is he?" joke coming from a mile away, but it still made me smile. And I gotta admit: I teared up just a little when Carrie was standing on that bridge in that Orange Dreamsicle Weighted Blanket she was wearing. I literally said, "thank you!" when Carrie and the producer guy kissed. It was about time. Even though she's kinda two-timing the nice widowed teacher. I know it's delusional of me but I wish Kim and SJP could've made up and she would've come back. I feel like the show would've been better just for nostalgia purposes.
  5. Your friend is going hard for the Sisterhood LOL. I respect it but she might need to cut Andre a little slack. Nya's endeavors seem pretty geared towards self-fulfillment. It's not like she's holding down two jobs just so he can sit at home and strum his guitar all day. At the end of the day, Nya married a working musician. He could be an executive at Merrill Lynch, it wouldn't change their predicament as it pertains to her fertility issues. I can only take it half-way serious because I predicated a week or so ago that they were going to have him say or do something that was going to make the audience not like him, but you kind of can't negotiate babies...especially when you're married. Of course you have to be pragmatic about it, but there is no "ugh, fiiiiine...I'll just get the caramel cake since you're out of red velvet" alternative when it comes to children. I think Trey and Charlotte found that out. And Nya and Andre are easily the most attractive people on this show. LTW is gorgeous too but she has this Claire Huxtable thing that I'm having a hard time getting past. Andre's music career -- and to be honest I'd love to know more about it considering we know so much about Nya professionally -- is almost certainly more flexible than her life is. I'm sure there are contracts involved if he's committed to a months-long tour, but from day to day, all he has to do is not book that gig or not go to that studio session. Whenever you're a musician, you do have to basically fight for every dollar, because you're essentially an independent contractor. You stand to make at least livable wage if you're a touring musician, which itself can present complications for raising a child, but they're in NYC so I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities around for him. So I'm saying, he's probably the one who would spend a lot of time with their child during the day anyway since this isn't a day-job type of career. The being away for months on tour would be something to think about for Nya, though.
  6. I think Nya and Trey are similar in that I think both of them might be tired of trying…in part because of the emotional toll it begins to take on their relationship. Charlotte was more demanding than Andre —I still feel like his name should be Tony but whatevs — whereas Andre has up until last episode just seemed down to keep trying. I agree with what you’re saying in these posts, but I think there’s an aspect of Nya — again, mirroring Charlotte — that the show hasn’t explored. I think I floated this theory a few episodes ago, but maybe part of the problem is Nya is doing too much. She’s a professor, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s working on some type of scholarly work (the publish or perish thing), and she’s overseeing the construction of a women’s shelter. All noble endeavors, but you know how they say you can’t have it all…or at least at least all at once? After divorcing Trey, Charlotte didn’t burden Harry with baby talk the way she did with Trey. She almost ruined their relationship by pushing too hard to get married — pattern? — but Harry didn’t have to put up with it to the same extent. And I can’t say Harry was way more jazzed about kids than Trey was initially, but he got chastened Charlotte, not woman on a mission Charlotte. But also? Charlotte got pregnant over 40. She wasn’t working, she had Lily, seemingly happy marriage. Her life was settled and that’s when she got pregnant. The lingering question for me is if Nya has maybe given herself a chance to be just her husband’s wife for awhile. Not saying she should quit her job or anything, but the side projects might have to wait if you’re actively focused on getting pregnant past a certain point. That’s a hard pill to swallow for ambitious women but age presents a difficulty in getting pregnant as it is. Having multiple plates spinning at once can be stressful — sometimes good or welcome stress, but you’re not twenty-five anymore. I think the parallel here is the notion of children are being used to show blind spots in relationships. Charlotte let her quest for a baby get bigger than her marriage, and her resentment towards Trey — which she definitely had even if she didn’t flip out — ultimately ruined it. Andre might feel like Nya is more than happy to try and save the world than find alternatives to have a baby, that IVF is her going through the motions — and it’s not, of course, but perception — and she on some level doesn't want kids. And that’s probably not fair to Nya but you can kinda tell when someone has their game face on versus when they don’t. Harry seemed supportive of Charlotte when they were trying to have a baby and maybe that eased her mind a bit. Maybe Trey always seemed a bit half-hearted? Kind of surprising given he was a doctor but…
  7. Yeah that scene with Dr. Nya and her husband — it’s almost the end of the season and I still don’t know his name…Tony? Craig? Chris? Dwayne? IDK — had echoes of Charlotte’s growing resentment with Trey. I always felt like that was one of the lowest points in the series for Charlotte. Like, you marry the man you love and want to spend the rest of your life with. Not the first good-on-paper guy whom you think will give you children. And it’s not really anybody’s fault, but Charlotte was the one with the fertility issues. Some of that comes down to age. When you wait until your mid-30s to seriously try having a child, there’s a higher likelihood for difficulty. In reality I think most fertility specialists would’ve told them to keep trying, give it a year, take this, try not doing that, and see what happens. Then we can see what other options you may consider. And the show played Trey’s exhaustion with trying and Charlotte Charlotting with him being not really there for her. That was a moment of selective traditionalism in a show that was seen as progressive for its time. Like we can’t judge Samantha, Carrie, or any other women for not wanting kids, but when a man doesn’t, he’s letting his wife down. Compare that to Dr. Nya and what’s-his-name. Her being exhausted with trying to have a child, but his still wanting one? I’m almost certain it’s going to played as pressuring her or not being understanding.
  8. Next up on QVC: Ladies, do you need an outfit for when you’re on a lion country safari, but you wanna look kinda bougie, overdressed, and uncomfortable? Well we have just the look for you!
  9. I’ve said and I think some other people have said elements of the actors have seeped into their characters. If I had to just venture a guess with no facts, I’d say one of the reasons David Eigenberg’s acting has been so affecting is because Steve’s reaction is probably how he would react if his own wife left him. David Eigenberg‘s birthday is May 17, which makes him a Taurus. Taurean men tend to be all about consistency, routine, reliability, and above all else: loyalty. Taureans are known for being stubborn, bullheaded, and that means that once he falls for you, he probably isn’t going anywhere. That’s why Steve said to Carrie his ring was never coming off. Because it would go against who he is as a man. So wounded, confused, betrayed, maybe even a little exhausted — it’s never coming off.
  10. Oh, and of course, the show continues it’s trend of White Man Minstrelsy. Oh, Anthony met a tall, handsome, well-read, “conservative” (not necessarily politically but personally as in “I can’t find his dick online”) man that he might see himself dating beyond some random hook-up? Of course he turns out not only be a Holocaust denier, but he has no problem blurting that out in the home of his date’s Jewish friends. Because that’s what white men do…yes, including the gay ones. They up and leave their husbands and friends and move to another country, freak out and confront drivers while walking in the crosswalk with their babies, they start randomly hooking up and getting handjobs at school fundraisers a few months after being abandoned by their husbands, and they deny the Holocaust in the homes of Jewish people. /sarcasm And like I predicted: Dr. Nya’s husband was going to do something to hurt her and make us hate him. He came so close! Tell your beautiful, educated, ambitious, hard-working wife who has already tried multiple times to get pregnant that, you know, you — her husband, with your “I play the guitar” ass — aren’t ready to throw in the towel. While painting a room in a women’s shelter. Because you saw Black Ward Cleaver with his kids. Toootally the right time to lay all that on her. And the fact you’re painting a room that is likely going to be occupied by women and their children who have no man around because he left them or they left him because he was abusive to them adds a nice bit of tone deafness to his plea. I guess they gave poor Steve a break from acting 80 and gave some of that to Mr. Nya. I really feel like he could’ve given me the moment where he totally breaks her heart had they not had to revisit newly annoying Lily and Charlotte playing the Do Not Press The Red Button game in her pants. Oh, and y’all take a break to eat gassy Mexican food? Why couldn’t they be more en trend than that? Why not have them eating birria tacos and Consommé rather than refried beans? Or, I don’t know, how about order some pizzas? It is New York and you do have a bunch of kids running around. I’m refraining from giving much commentary on Them-la and Louise but I will say, it is absolutely shitty to bring someone cookies then when you realize you’re being kinda nuts you take their cookies and go home to preserve some dignity. YOU SHOULD’VE JUST DYED YOUR HAIR! RED! RED LIKE CHARLOTTE SAID! SHE WAS EVEN NICE ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU A VISUAL AID! I would’ve been mad for real about the cookies, though. Like “Miranda? No, seriously. It’s just me and you in this hallway. Give me my damn cookies.”
  11. I knew I recognized him from somewhere! It's been like fifteen years and he barely looks like he's aged. OMG WHY DIDN'T I EVER PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER?! Yeeeeeah. Charlotte may wanna start wearing a Depend. It seems like if she gets too worked up bodily fluids just start raining out of her ass. Outside. In public. Great commentary. It's crazy how likable Carrie has been this season. Every now and then she'll do something, uh, stupid -- why are you wearing heels to paint? Why are you wearing Big's ring around your finger when it's obviously too big and could slide off...why not around your neck like when you were going to marry Aiden out of politeness?. I think the Steve squatting at Miranda's place was the second time they started dating and she broke up with him. And he was like Berger, except Steve had sense enough to break up with Miranda because he felt he wasn't good enough. Berger was just a wounded dick. First off, I agree that Steve is kinda too good-looking for Miranda now. It's funny how that works. And your story about throwing your wedding ring into Lake Michigan was savage. And I mean that as a total compliment. I want to disrupt you having dinner and have your dinner date take our picture then tell them about how you slept with two of my friends. I'm such a fan! I agree with you about Brady. I don't think he's taking it well at all. That whole "I'm painting with Louisa" thing seemed salty. Maybe they'll explore that next episode. And I don't know anything about periods and tampons, but...do girls still talk to their moms about that kind of stuff? I would think a girl would just get a box of Tampons and do what they did, which is watch a YouTube video. Insted of having your mom coach you through it. Before you all have company. With...Holocaust deniers.
  12. Okay you’ve gotta spill the tea. Britney, Christina, or Beyonce…which one was it?
  13. I guess I just feel like the notion of happiness in general isn’t as simple as it’s being played out here. I think the older you get the more you realize having peace and stability is something to fight for despite your level of happiness. Because I have to kind of disagree with you that people don’t cheat when they’re happy in their relationships. That’s a factor for sure but you leave an unhappy marriage. Cheating is an act of selfishness, and using the fact that you met someone to help usher you out of your relationship is complete bullshit. With Miranda, she wasn’t happy, but she wasn’t particularly motivated to try and fix the issues she was having (from what we saw). She fell hard and fell fast for Che it appears because Che represented a way out.
  14. Well, I think this goes back to what Charlotte said a few episodes ago. Miranda isn’t progressive enough for this. I think they played it for laughs at the time or like it was a dig at Miranda’s age, but the wisdom in that is that a leopard can’t change its spots. Because you’re absolutely right. Che was giving Miranda the opportunity to eat her cake and have it too. Miranda decided to leave Steve anyway. I think it’s because, at the end of the day, Miranda’s still a woman. I don’t know if it’s bad writing or misplaced sensibilities but everyone is an accumulation of their experiences, good and bad. Miranda has spent her entire life with men. That scene when she said she hates “traditional” because “traditional” is what got her where she is now, was telling in what wasn’t being said by her or Che. Being open to queer sex is one thing, but I think Miranda’s assuming relationships are fairly boilerplate. When you love someone you commit to them and only them. You make a choice. I think even Miranda understood what many of us have said: she was having an affair. She rationalized it in her mind but it’s still an affair. And the way to stop an affair is by ending it with someone. And Che’s cool, laid back stoner vibe might be a welcome change of pace for Miranda when compared to Steve, but again, that’s superficial. Che and Miranda are in different life arenas.
  15. Great point. The show would like us to believe all one has to do is tell jokes, give head, and smoke weed is all you need to win a woman over. I see why Miranda fell for Che since potheads who have a sense of humor and give head are a rare breed. 🙄 I remember back when they went to the fundraiser for the guy running for NYC Comptroller that Carrie was dating and Miranda was like: "The dumb jokes: con. Cute butt. Pro."
