That's just not the kind of name you see on a daily basis in America. Yes. Priyanka is a singer and an actress. And a model. Of course. So, far Priyanka only has three songs. There's the Ester Dean cowritten “In My City”. I honestly don't feel this song. It's catchy, but do I really jam. No. Will.I.Am also throws a verse on the song, so that's exciting.
The song of hers I really live for is “Exotic”. It has Pitbull on the song (of course) and it's so catchy. It's so funny, because whenever I listen to it I just think of this post I saw on tumblr that goes off about being called 'exotic'. To be fair the chorus of the song is “I feel so exotic” not “I am exotic” It's a super fun and I kind of love it. |
She is current. Not a Marilyn Monroe, icon of the fifties. She is living breathing sexy. I suppose the question of how do I know about her is a fair question. I do have Indian neighbors, but they don't really talk about their culture. They are legitimately from India. They immigrated a few years ago and my parents are friends with them and I'm friends with their daughter. She's like four years younger then me and she's my bitch.
The reason I heard about her is basically how I hear about everyone. I do research for the blog. I know the most random shit, because of this blog. I google things, I look stuff up, so I can talk about. When I talked about Ester Dean a few months ago I looked up her production discography (thanks wikipedia). One of the people she wrote a song for stood out to me. Priyanka Chopra. |
Priyanka Chopra is a goddess. She's one of the most stunning women. There's really not a solid reason why you should know who she is unless you consider yourself an expert on Bollywood cinema. She is one of India's most successful actresses
Buy "Exotic"
She also did a song with the Chainsmokers (the men behind “#Selfie”). It's not quite on the level of insanity that “Let me take a selfie”, but what can be. God, I love that song. The most recent release of Priyanka's is a cover of the Bonnie Raitt song “Can't Make You Love Me”. It's been upped with electronic backing and it's a solid song. None of these have made any dents on American charts as of right now, news of an album are nonexistent, despite the resounding commercial success of all three songs in India.
Buy her music. Support her. I love Priyanka. She's one of the major public faces for women's rights in India. I love her comments on rape. I think their spot on. If you've been looking for a sexy and attractive Indian role model, you have found your answer.

There is no reason you shouldn't know who Janelle Monae is. She's been nominated for a few Grammy's. Both of her albums The Electric Lady and The Arch Android were critically acclaimed. I haven't listened to any of the music on either one, but I know multiple people who swear by her music. She also got Solange for one of her songs and the music of Solange Knowles is everything. Also, the album covers are flawless, so there's that.
Her big claim to fame is the female vocalist on fun.'s breakout hit “We Are Young”. Don't you remember when that was our jam. I lived for that song. Honestly a little bit of me misses fun. Like sure I lived for Nate Ruess dueting with P!NK on “Just Give Me A Reason”, but I want more. I'm sure they'll be back sooner or later.
No surprise she is also one of the Cover Girl's. She's so effortlessly perfect and she just pulls off a tuxedo. Janelle is just this mysterious figure of stunning beauty and I honestly can't handle it. She was literally was once quoted as saying “the lesbian community has tried to claim me, but I only date androids”. What does that even mean Janelle? Her sexuality is irrelevant, but I honestly died when I heard she said that. Who honestly comes up with that.
Despite how pretty she is. It really surprised me when I heard that she didn't think she was pretty and that she was surprised that anyone wanted to look like her. That's really heart breaking. We are all attractive in our own way and if someone so effervescently attractive isn't happy with how they look what does that say.
I say all of that to say that you're pretty and attractive and sexy and there's nothing wrong with you just because there's no one like you on TV or on the cover of a magazine. Don't get me wrong you're still not on Janelle Monae's level, but your still pretty hot.
His name is Nico Tortorella. I don't feel that bad for missing out on talking about him. According to Wikipedia he is a recurring cast member, not a main cast member, but he's so pretty. He's an actor and a model. How cliched is that? Very. But, he's so pretty.
Sometimes I wonder if boys mind being called pretty. They're always questioning their masculinity anyway, so do they get offended when you call them pretty. If Hozier saw my tweet about him being pretty at the Grammy's would he be like what the fuck. Excuse you bitch. Stay in your lane. Or would he respond with my favorite blogger just called me pretty. That is the question.
The show needless to say was canceled. It wasn't meant to be the next Gossip Girl after all. Nico was also in that creepy ass show, The Following. You know the one about the serial killer, Kevin Bacon's in it. If you're into that kind of thing. I'm sure it's great. I am not into it to be honest.
What we want to see of Nico Tortorella in Younger is lots of shirtless, walking around in his underwear, chilling. Possibly some pseudo sex scenes, because this is airing on TV Land after all. He is playing the lover of the lead, so the likelihoods that he'll ever become a series regular just got shot down. She'll dump him in season two and get another man and hopefully he'll be just as sexy as Nico Torterlla.
Thunder does not think he is cute actually. I told her I was doing my Snapshot Saturday on him and she was like #ewww. She said she doesn't like his eyebrows. Which is such a shallow reason not to think someone's cute for her. Thunder is all everyone is beautiful.
I said one sub par humorous thing that was ad libbed. I was also shaking in heels. It was really not a good moment. No. I will not be doing stand up. I am not funny.
My teacher liked the concept and then he slowly started finding problems with it. How was I going to prove that I was knowledgeable on the topic? I don't know, I did this crazy thing called research? If he wanted me to say that I regularly practice BDSM I would. Did he want me to say I watch porn. Done. I don't know what he wanted.
Then, he told me that as college students this might make people uncomfortable. He was basically saying that we were all virgins that knew nothing of sex. Not true. At all. I also did not plan on discussing specific sexual acts or practices. But, I was over it. He didn't want me to do it, so I changed the topic to the history of high heels.
Eventually they found there way to Europe. An early version was used by Venice prostitutes and was more of a platform called a chopine in the 1400's. It made the women taller and more visible. Royalty and the upper class soon updated it for themselves. It kept there feet out of the waste of the streets and served a reasonably practical purpose.
The true heel came around during the 1600's and was the height of masculinity. Queen Elizabeth I of England was the first documented ruler to wear them. It was the French King Louis XIV that turned it into a lifestyle. His shoes were red bottomed and only people in his favor could wear the red bottom.
Now you know where Louboutin got his idea for his red bottomed clackers.
Women initially did not wear them. When they did start wearing them it was in order to appear more masculine. There then began to be a separation in the type of heels men and women wore. Men's were more bulky and women's more delicate and stiletto like.
The enlightenment came around and people were like damn these heels are impractical. Men stopped wearing them. Although, there use for women didn't stop it slowed down. Heels were shorter. People just weren't feeling them in the 1800's.
With the invention of the camera. We did what anyone would do with such a great invention. Take naked pictures of women. Heels are a super normal stimulus, which is basically a fancy way to say that they enhance what we are already attracted to. They enhance the legs, the ass, the area of child bearing. They make our gait more attractive. But, all the dirty men of the 1800's cared about were the first three reasons.
The Shoes I Wore To Give My Speech
I'm not sure what Kesha's contract is for. I don't know how many albums she would need to release to get our from Dr. Luke's thumb or if it's for set length of time. I don't know. I do know a lot of singers just release a greatest hits to get that last album out of the way. Kesha could do that. She's had 9 certified hits of her own. Not a single one of her singles has missed the top 40.
Cross our fingers that Kesha gets away from Dr. Luke this year, signs another record deal, and of course the side benefit of all of that would be new music for us. She did however release something on soundcloud called “Lover”. I am not really feeling it, but new Kesha music is new Kesha music. And, I will take what I can get.
The radio was actually doing it's job for once. The announcer was like up next “Too Cool to Dance” and I was like #Disgusting. Why does she think she's so cool that she doesn't need to dance. #Ihateher. Then, I actually heard it and it was all about how she isn't too cool to dance, and she won me over.
She's also doing a contest where you can a make video of yourself dancing to “Too Cool To Dance” and be put in her next music video. I would totally enter if I didn't dance like uncooked pasta. That said, I was in the kitchen when the parents walk in. I was just casually learning the choreography for “To Cool To Dance”.
They looked at me like WTF are you doing and I was like fuck you back. It was so great mortally embarrassing myself in front of my parents. At least I'm already the disappointment, so this isn't dragging me down anywhere.
The most important thing I hoped that you learned from this is that Eden xo is adorable and you totally need to download her song. Preferably today.
Side note that Tom Daley is bisexual. I had to break this news to my co-worker and she was heart broken. I found out about Tom Daley, because well first he's a super attractive British diver. Obviously. I'm into it. Secondly, his coming out video is literally the cutest thing ever.
He makes it clear that he is bisexual. It's important not to erase that and just say that's he's gay or just say that he's straight. I will never meet him and therefore never date him. The man he's dating right now is a screenwriter named Dustin Lance Black. This man is the reason Tom acknowledged to the world that he liked men. I don't blame him. Men are sexy, but this is the man who got Tom Daley to be true to himself. WTF.
I was like this bitch. After some time, I came up with my answer. It might surprise you that I picked Tom Daley.
As much as I love Chaz Bono, he was not as much a talent, then the son of a famous celebrity. Laverne Cox is making mainstream progression. That is something to applaud. Her role as Sophia Burset on Orange is the New Black is stunning. She is playing a transgendered woman in prison.
I decided to do this article on her, specifically, because of Transgender Awareness Day. That is November 20th every year. This year it was on a Thursday. If you follow me on tumblr or twitter you know that's all I was talking about. I was going to apologize and say I'm sorry for being so annoying. Then, I realized I had no reason to apologize. This is one day out of the year and you would have to get over it.
Being transgender is so hard. That's something people don't understand. That kills me. It is the LGBT community. Not the LGB community. Transgendered people go through a lot of violence and discrimination. Your opinions on this are irrelevant. You need to support these people. You need to support any friend or family member who acknowledges this to you. This is not your body. This is not your life choice. This is someone else's body. This is someone else's choice. It does not effect you.
Repeat after me. “It does not effect you.”
Just repeat that to yourself and embrace them. The person has not changed. They have always been this way, this is just the first time they've actually acknowledged it in front of you. Let's talk about the fact that the average life expectancy for a transgendered individual is about 30 years of age. Let that sink in.
You are twenty more times to be young and homeless if you are transgendered. The answer to why the average life expectancy is at 30 should now be answered. Your shitty opinions are going to cause the death of someone you cared very deeply about before that.
41% of all trans people have attempted suicide. 1 in 12 transgendered women will be murdered. Yes. That is a high ratio. That should also answer why the life expectancy is unacceptably low.
Protect transgender people, because no one else is going to. That is why Laverne Cox is important. That is why Chaz Bono is important. These people cannot be marginalized. They are fucking important. Human life is important. I cannot stress that enough.
Love these people, because they go through so much shit. Do not marginalize them. We are all important and I don't know why people don't get that.
Also. I know that these are not pictures of Laverne Cox, but here are some good starter questions you should never ask by Laura Jane Grace.
Not only was RuPaul an openly gay man in drag. He was black. He made it through so much adversity to make it to that point, and even though he's never had a song chart as well or as popularly he's maintained his foot in the music business.
It did nothing to make me not like RuPaul. I suppose I was supposed to revile him, because he's gay. I didn't I loved him still, and now here I am. Still obsessed with RuPaul and his show, still loving life. Let's not forget that he's a sexy drag queen. It was bound to happen that he needed a Snapshot Saturday. Buy "Cover Girl" "Walking with your chest out and your head held high says you have earned the right to stomp and pummel this particular piece of real estate." - RuPaul Buy "Snapshot" Buy "Glamazon"
I personally would like to take credit for Fergie's come back. “L.A. Love” climbed the charts the week after my week of Fergie came out. We all know that is exactly what didn't happen, but I'm just going to pretend that it did. I really don't need to convince you to be obsessed with this song. The radio will do that for you. It has that sick DJ Mustard beat and Fergie sing rapping over an addictive base line. I love it. The music video as I said is full of color. No real plot. It is basically a real life Where's Waldo. There are a million odd celebrity cameos in this video. I caught two of them the first time out, so go me for being observant. For some reason they have also decided to throw YG into the mix for the video. I'm not sure why, but I am not opposed to his presence. It is a party and it is turnt. Fergie looks sexy as usual. Slaying these other basics in 2014. I am obsessed with it. Like kill the game Fergie. She's also going to be performing it live for the first time at the American Music Awards on the 23rd of this month. Assuming I am not at work I will be live tweeting about the duchess taking my body to a different universe. No doubt by the time December comes around, Fergie should have a top ten hit with “L.A. Love” and in January we might have the new album. We shall see. Watch the video. Support the duchess. Enjoy you're Saturday. Represent when she comes to your town. Buy "L.A. Love"
