America's Next Top Author

9/12/2015

Supermodel, actress, television host, and author. Tyra Banks is the multitalanted and extremely gorgeous face of the smize. She is the perfect combination of lethal intelligence and drive. The girl has studied at Harvard after all.

Tyra has become a mogul in her own right and far out lasted her fellow supermodels in the fame department. She's an American presence.

Her flagship show America's Next Top Model has started Cycle 22 (the sophisticated version of a season). Beautiful and not so beautiful women compete to be AMERICA'S. NEXT. TOP. MODEL! In an effort to spice it up she's recently add men to the cycle. It's to early to tell who the crowd favorite is and who the villain is. But, the show's barely started. The first two episodes are fluff anyway.

Tyra's show has been replicated, but never duplicated. Never forget Naomi Campbell's similar attempt with The Face. I'm not convinced anyone watches it, even though Naomi is a queen. Naomi even stole away America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker to host it. That's some bad blood right there.

Naomi might have been on the cover of Vogue, but Tyra has a successful franchise. And, let's not forget that trashy talk show of her's aptly titled The Tyra Show.

As much as Naomi might not want to admit it, she's a little jealous. Being in Burberry ads with Joan Smalls isn't enough. Tyra has a film career. Never forget her classic role in Coyote Ugly or her lead role in Life Size opposite Lindsay Lohan. And, trust that I have seen every episode she was in on Gossip Girl. Especially when Hilary Duff guest starred.

Now you will not believe what I finally got around to doing. Reading Tyra Bank's debut novel Modelland. It is young adult and that is a good thing.

I appreciate this novel. It's honestly not fair that Tyra gets to be gorgeous and intelligent. The woman never needed her beauty. She would have been on top without it. The novel is a little bumpy, but Tyra also doesn't have a cowriter. Something a lot of author's do. I'm looking at you James Patterson.

The voice in this book is Tyra. The book revolves around these four conventionally unattractive girls who are admitted into the exclusive Modelland. This is a magical land. They might be sacrificed to enhance the beauty of the other girls. They might fall in love.

It promotes body positivity. And, that were all “special”. It's over five hundred pages and that's not a bad thing. This is a young adult 563 pages. Some of the writing is wooden, some of it's not quite solid. HOWEVER, this is her first novel and I think she slayed it. Even if most of the characters are less then likeable. Particularly the lead narrator driven Tookie. She's indecisive and whiny.

It's publication under the category of “young adult” allows for Tyra to breathe and expand as a writer. It's supposed to be a trilogy. This novel was published in 2011. If Tyra makes us wait like Frank Ocean is for this album and Gaga is for the continuation of “Telephone” we might need to punch a model out.

Now that the talk show is over I can't figure out where our novel is. Yes, Tyra had that banker boyfriend of hers , but that's old news. And, he couldn't be keeping her that busy.

Tyra is beautiful every which way. It was so unfair how the media attacked her when she gained a little weight. The woman looks great no matter what happens. And, she's more then her Sports Illustrated body. It's time people put that together, because Tyra Banks is a powerhouse.

American Pharoah

The last time I did a Snapshot Saturday on an animal was way back when in 2014 when I wrote on Lady Gaga's adorable little dog Asia.

Recently, I have not been able to get away from American Pharoah. He is EVERYWHERE. He is invading my life. He's in Vogue. He's on TV. He's on my tumblr feed. I want to say I'm over it, but I've decided to fan girl.

Now in case you didn't know. American Pharoah is a Triple Crown Winner. American Pharoah is a horse. The three races he won were the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. The three most important races in horse stampeding around a track.

The Kentucky Derby is life goals to me. I want to get dressed up in my finery and a big ass hat, wave a fan and sit in a crowd of wealthy rednecks and bet on horses. It sounds luxurious. And, if you live in Kentucky it really is the only social event of the year. I hope you aren't afraid of horses.

I'm not sure if it's possible to be attracted to a horse. The last time I rode a horse was when I was seven. Maybe I was six, but I digress. American Pharoah is stunning. Glamour. He could walk down a runway in vintage Chanel if he wanted and I would buy it.

This horse looks better then me and I'm not about that life.

This horse is also the reason the twins and I did not tie for second place when we played trivia. It was spelling night and they asked us to spell American Pharoah. I was convinced that it was a trick question. We spelled it American Farrow. Systematically losing the one point it took to tie for second place.

American Pharoah and Dortmund

American Pharoah and Smokey

Now, American Pharoah is also living a better life then the rest of us. He has a private jet. You heard it hear first. American Pharoah has his own custom jumbot jet. According to Vogue when he recently arrived in Louisville he had a police escort back to his stables, because of the throng of fans hoping to see him.

He is a horse.

American Pharoah has earned this right. According to his trainer Bob Baffert he is “letting the horse dictate where we'll run”. The horse can't speak and through telecommunication he's like “nah bitch, fuck this track.” This is insane.

The one thing you must know about American Pharoah is that he loves carrots. If your a fan the only acceptable gift is carrots. They must be small and already peeled. Even, then his security might not let him eat them.

The horse is leading the life we deserve to live. The life we want. His siring rights have already been sold off. Soon there will be little baby American Pharoah's living in America's greener pastures and air conditioned stables.

God help the rich.

Vera Chokalingam

There are seven hundred and eighty different languages in India. And, I couldn't begin to determine the origin of Mindy Kaling's last name. Fun fact about comedienne Mindy Kaling is that she uses her middle name (Mindy) instead of her first name Vera and that the reason for the change in her last name was that people were unable to pronounce it.

I subscribe to Uzo Aduba's mentality. If we can pronounce Tchaikovsky, we can take the time and effort to pronounce anything. Your name is so important. To not be willing to put in the effort to say someone's name correctly is offensive. I imagine Mindy gave substitute teachers a lot of trouble with her name.

Your probably saying to yourself. Where do I know this Mindy Kaling from? Who is this beautiful goddess who is assaulting my eyeballs. She was one of the many stars of The Office. Not the British one, but the American one.

I never really got into this show. I've never been a huge fan of Ricky Gervais or his style of comedy. Although, he certainly has his moments. Steve Carell also doesn't do it for me. I feel like I'm attacking a national treasure. The short point I'm attempting to make is that I didn't watch The Office. However, my fave Mindy Kaling was in it and I think that's really exciting.

She was also in 40 Year Old Virgin. She seems to have a thing for Steve Carell projects. Most importantly, though she voiced a character in the best animated movie of the summer, Inside Out. She plays Disgust and it's amazing. I don't think children connect to Inside Out, the way adults do. I was sitting there crying and these five year olds were like what the fuck? It's so emotional if you've truly experienced life.

The true jewel in Mindy Kaling's crown is her hit sitcom The Mindy Project. What originally spurred me to write about Mindy was Fox's cancellation of The Mindy Project. I found out about this during exam week at my school. I was expected to study, while knowing my favorite show was canceled. Although, to be fair I was never home to actually watch it when it was on.

I've actually written a Friday Favorites on this TV show. I'm obsessed with it. Not just because Mindy is me, but because it's straight up solid humor. I just enjoy it as quality entertainment. It's a sitcom with some substance. I am about that life.

Now, The Mindy Project was canceled. However, Hulu has picked it up for a fourth season. This shows to me that Mindy Kaling is a shrewd business woman that she was on top of this cancellation and that she found a way to continue her show. It reminds me of when Cougar Town was cancelled and picked up by TBS. What else could explain it's continued presence on TV besides good a solid business head of the one people behind it?

Mindy Kaling simply by existing is a pioneer on American television. She is one of the few (and only one I can name) American-Indian women on television. I love Mindy Kaling for her undeniable sense of humor and personality. She's an American treasure. I know she's only 36, but I think it's safe to say that.

Everyone loves some Vera Mindy Chokalingam in their life. Am I right?

Videos RAised The Modeling Star

8/1/2015

0 Comments

The Buggles sang in a quirky 1970's anthem that “video killed the radio star”. Here in the 21st century we are long past the days of Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell. Where modeling and a famous rock star boyfriend was all it took to be famous. It takes more then that now.

We've never had a male model who really fell under the title of “supermodel”. None has ever rivaled the notoriety that Giselle still manages to attain just from being on the sidelines at her husband's football game.

In the 90's, Alicia Silverstone was an actress. But, had only starred in one marginally successful film The Crush. She was beautiful. She was a knockout, but it was her appearance in a string of Aerosmith videos that propelled her existence to the forefront of the casting directors for Clueless. The most iconic work she has worked on to this day. The music video raised her stature.

That's what Shaun Ross has capitalized on whether consciously or subconsciously. Music videos are far more prominent in pop culture and mainstream media, then a glossy three page spread for Givenchy. He might become the world's first male model to become a household name.

I love Shaun Ross's look. He stands out among all the perfectly chiseled men and exceptionally toned women that grace Vogue. The fashion industry so often puts forward this hegemony of what beauty is and it's wonderful to see something else slid in to defy this.

The first time I remember seeing Shaun Ross was in the music video for Katy Perry's “E.T.”. I kept expecting Kanye to show up and then you see Shaun. And, he's all naked and good. Visually he's just such a unique and beautiful. I was like this is what I want in my life. Mind you I'm a little young for a 24 year old, but that doesn't stop me from dreaming.

Buy "E.T."

At this point I didn't know his name. This was 2011, I didn't have functioning internet. All I knew was that he was this beautiful man. It's only been a year, since I've known who he was. It was when Lana Del Rey was shooting that short film Tropico that I learned his name.

Tropico is one of the most stunning films I've ever seen. Much like Lana Del Rey's work in general, it's glamorous and vintage with a touch of sin. Shaun Ross fit in perfectly. It was 27 minutes and 9 seconds of me being in complete awe. Then, you got Shaun being all sexy and it was magical.

He's also been in a Beyonce video, so you know his life is complete. He was in “Pretty Hurts” (the opening track on her self titled album Beyonce). I think that was a perfect choice. As a child he was bullied for the differences that made him a supermodel. The song is about how shallow fashion is and how hard we work to be beautiful and how it doesn't make us happy. He was a perfect choice.

Buy "Pretty Hurts"

We need more people like Shaun Ross in fashion. There needs to be an effort made to show that there isn't one way to be beautiful and that we all have something to offer. That everything and everyone is sexy. You don't need to be perfectly tanned and boys don't need a set of abs to be hot. I'm glad that the fashion community has embraced people like Shaun Ross and Madeline Stuart, so that there isn't this rut we're stuck in that there's only one kind of perfection. We're perfect just by existing.

This Is How Bad Bitches Do It

Natalia Kills

A controversial figure if she had any reasonable level of fame. She is a singer/actress (predominantly singer) who has Afro-Jamaican and Uruguayan heritage. Those genes blessed her. Natalia Kills is stunning. She's a very visual artist. Her beauty is glamorous to me. Her instagram feed is to die for. Of should I say kill for. God. I hate myself.

Now if your trying to place Natalia Kills let me help you. Obviously, you saw Pitch Perfect 2 and remember that “Problem” her lead single to her second album Trouble was used in a mash up with Nero's song “Promises” so the Barden Bellas could shamelessly embarrass themselves at the convention performance.

In reality you might remember two of the New Zealand X-Factor judges being let go for their rude comments to a contestant on one of the live shows. That was Natalia Kills and Willy Moon.

Everyone was so up in arms about it. I remember watching it already being a fan of Natalia Kills and it honestly was just not as mean as I expected. People were so upset and it seemed almost timid in comparison to what was being said. I might have had my expectations up to high.

This behavior also didn't surprise me. Natalia Kills brand is unapologetic bitch. It's like putting Azealia Banks in front of cameras and being surprised that you spouts something. To be fair Natalia's comments were not exactly accurate either. The only good thing that came from this is some name recognition and that hysterical meme of her with her hands out. That was funny.

I don't think this incident really hurt her brand, but I also don't think this is going to help her top the charts whenever her next release comes out.

Now she has only had two albums. Perfectionist and Trouble. The casual pop fan will enjoy Perfectionist more, but I question if Trouble has more artistic merit. I'm torn on which one I like my better. The first album features one of my all time favorite songs “Kill My Boyfriend”. It's as straight forward as you would expect and I loves it.

Buy "Kill My Boyfriend"

Her second album features “Problem” that I can flawlessly flow with. Natalia Kills initially wanted to be a rapper. Now that would have been interesting. She's very word oriented. Her words paint a visual picture even if “we're going to fuck like rabbits” isn't exactly the epitome of class and sophistication.

Honestly, as strong as the music is I think Natalia Kills could have gone the route of modeling that Iggy Azalea approached with. In my own personal opinion Natalia is more striking, especially since Iggy's nose job. But, that's neither here nor there.

She's probably not going to reach the heights of a superstar.

Natalia Kills plays the role of a degenerate beauty queen. She is the synth driven anti-pop star. Her music certainly has merit. She wrote for Madonna after all. Her music videos are always something to live for. Her first album even sported promotion by a web series entitled Love Kills xx. Natalia Kills is driven if nothing else.

Hot For Teacher

In a recent video I acknowledged that I was giving up boys for lent. In reality I have really been letting go of them for some time now. I was going through my Snapshot Saturday's and I haven't posted about a boy since late March. We've been in a drought. Yes, Gabourey Sidibe, Priyanka Chopra, and BoA are sexy goddesses, but sometimes we need some boy flesh in our lives.

I've gone basic white girl. My taste in men is always basic white girl. Matt Bomer, Enrique Iglesias, Nico Tortorella. I can't say the man I picked for today's post is any better. You've probably heard of him or seen his pictures circulating the internet.

Pietro Boselli. He's a professor at UCL. He's very sexy. He also teaches engineering. So, don't transfer just so you can take classes with him. I would literally fail out. You know Rosencrantz has decided to major in something that's in the vein of engineering. It's not going well for her.

It would probably be going marginally better if she had Pietro Boselli leaning over her shoulder. That name is just sexy. It's the name of the boy you have a fling with when you study abroad in Europe. I can imagine it. Whispering Pietro. Your alone on the beach together. It's night fall. The only illumination is the moonlight. And, depending on your lack of sexual history, you lose your virginity to him.

That sounds romantic, but even as I write it. I'm sitting here like you know sand is going to get into every party of your body. And, sand isn't the kind of thing you lick off your lover's body. There would have to a luxurious cashmere blanket involved for this to be sexy.

If you were wondering what foreign country you would be studying abroad in. Pietro is Italian. So, that's nice. Just don't end up like Amanda Knox. There's something so appealing about Italian men. Maybe it's because I watched the Lizzie McGuire Movie one too many times, and I've always wanted my own Paulo. I also imagine Greek Adonis's. I don't know why. Italy is not the same thing as Greece, but I digress.

Actually, Joyce and I both find this one boy we know to be very good. He's Italian. It's just good. He has a nice voice. His hair is a little schoolboy prep, but I'm barely a sophomore in college. A cute school boy is still age appropriate.

I actually find it very uncomfortable that we're objectifying this male teacher. We are objectifying a model, but his students are not. It's weird. Whenever people have the hots for a teacher, I just want to slap them, and tell them to get a grip. I had this conversation recently with someone and he told me he always thought it was strange when his friends had crushes on their teacher. I agree. It's the age difference and the fact that there in a position of power over you.

No judgment if your into that.

All that can be really said about Pietro Boselli is that he's beautiful. This is the kind of summer fling I want in my life. I've missed objectifying men. This was fun.

I have never been more jealous of a boulder in my life.

(She's Got) The Look

Vanessa Williams is just one of my favorite people in general. Before I was a fan I just thought she was one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen. She's in her fifties now and it's still snatched. I feel like she's one of those very sophisticated charming women that knows her Louboutins and her politics.

I am not the only one who thinks Vanessa Williams is just one of the most beautiful women ever. She did win the Miss America Pageant. Back when people actually watched the Miss America Pageant. I remember when it was on NBC or one of those major channels. And, now is it even on cable? No one cares about it.

Vanessa Williams was surrounded by controversy when she won the Miss America Pageant. She was the first black woman to win the title and in true American spirit she received hate mail and death threats. This was 1984 and it was the 57th time this pageant had happened. It was honestly fucking time.

The true scandal was the fact that she resigned her title. Vanessa Williams had posed nude for a photo shoot before she won. These photographs were offered around to Playboy and eventually Penthouse who printed them after she won. Honestly, Playboy does some upright things. These photographs were a major scandal and it no doubt would have sold copies, but Hugh Hefner refused to purchase them. Playboy is a smutty magazine, but occasionally it's on the up and up. How you doing Hugh Hefner?

Now, I've seen the photos and I think 'scandal' is a little much. What did we all think was under that evening gown? Now they weren't exactly tasteful nudes. Now, I wasn't conscious in 1984, but I think forcing Vanessa Williams to resign her title was extreme. Because, we all know she was pressured to give it up. Now believe me. Scandal or no scandal. I am holding on to my crown.

Vanessa Williams made the correct transition after this happened. She can sing, act, and dance. So, she did it all. She released a string of successful albums, much like Samantha Fox did. If you don't know Samantha Fox was a page 3 girl. Not the kind of girl you bring home to mother and during the eighties she played off this image with a string of hits like “Touch Me (I Want Your Body)” and “Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)”

Now Vanessa did it in a far more classy, soul, R&B vibe. At heart she's a sophisticated woman. She had multiple hits “Dreamin”, “Save The Best For Last”, “Love Is” and yes she is voice behind “Color of the Wind” in the Pocahontas movie.

The only album I have by her is Sweetest Days. I actually have two copies (shout out to the Mayor and Miss Sara Bellum for getting me an extra one for Christmas) and nineties R&B is just not my thing. Now I do jam sometimes. I keep one copy in my car at all times, because sometimes you got to turn up to some good R&B.

Her acting is on point as well. You know her from Ugly Betty and the last few seasons of Desperate Housewives.

I just feel like Vanessa Williams is blessed. She could have crawled into a hole after what happened to her with Miss America and been a footnote. She was in her early twenties at this point. This was devastating, but she made the decision to come out and be on top. I feel very much the same way about Paris Hilton. She had her sex tape leaked and she said fuck the haters. I'm going to do me and get paid to party. Vanessa Williams did the same thing, albeit in a more classy way. I have so much respect for her and she deserves all of it.

ANDROGYNOUS Chic

6/6/2015

I got confirmation recently in Vogue that I am fashionable. Apparently “androgyny” is in and the number of fucks I give on what section of the department store my clothes come from are nonexistent. Clothes don't have a gender. Wear what looks good on you or what makes you feel good.

I'm about to be hella fashionable. I gots a 75 cent raise at work and now it will be Gucci! Prada! Alexander and McQueen! It will be couture only.

Vogue's May issue also had an article in it that I was very excited to read. It was on transgender issues. It featured this stunning model, Andreja Pejic. It was all very well written and I love supermodels. Whether it be Cara Develigne or Joan Smalls.

Andreja Pejic is a stunning transgender model. She was known for her androgynous look and would model both men and women's clothes. She was born in Bosnia-Herzegovina, which is in Europe. She didn't grow up there as there was the Bosnian war and instead she grew up in Australia. The article says that she has this “unplaceable accent”. I can imagine.

She recently underwent gender confirmation surgery. From what I was able to gather from the article Andreja had a relatively supportive family. She used puberty suppressing hormones as a child with the blessing of her mother. It's not easy to be trans.

On the left is Andreja Pejic and on the right is Tallulah Morton

It's incredibly important that Vogue and other publications show case transgender individuals in their magazine. Andreja is certainly stunning. Representation is important. Until recently there really wasn't transgender representation on television or in print. Ugly Betty did have Alexis Meade and that's one of the great things about that show. Is how it really tackled and showed a diverse group of people. Of course Alexis was only on for one and a half seasons at most. But, now we have Laverne Cox on Orange is the New Black, Bruce Jenner will be showcasing the process on some form of documentary series.

Someone said to me that they thought transgenders were “freaks” until they watched the Bruce Jenner interview on ABC. That's why representation is so important. Not only do transgendered individuals need to see people like them, but cisgender people need to be exposed to it as well. It needs to be normalized. There is nothing abnormal about being transgender.

Transgender is going to be the social rights issue of this decade and coming decades. I love that Andreja Pejic was put in Vogue. She's a beautiful woman and twenty years ago she would not have made it. As a society we're making slow progress in the right direction.

Gender and sexuality are far more complicated then just two options. They are fluid concepts that don't have restrictions placed on them. It can be hard to really understand what transgender is. No matter what your level of comprehension all really have to do is to support transgender individuals. I will never understand how people can be opposed to human rights. Publicly identifying yourself as transgender is a hard process for someone to go through. The one thing you can do for a friend or family member who comes to you with this is to support them. And, be there for them. You don't have to understand to be there for them. Support them. Protect them. Being transgendered is one of the hardest things to be and they need all the support they can get.

The Constrictor

BoA is a Korean pop star. She is not to be confused with the boa constrictor. I am a strong fearless gay man, but snakes are not my thing. I have got to be careful when I google her. I always include “singer” or “Korean” or “K-Pop” or anything to let google images know not to show me some killer snakes.

Side note never to use Bing. Bing is my default on my tablet and I was googling “Surprise Bitch”. You know like the Emma Roberts, American Horror Story, surprise bitch. Picture it. I'm sitting in a room of my peers, were all dressed up, and I google “surprise bitch” and porn comes up. Why would that ever be the appropriate thing to show first. I don't know. It was horrifying.

BoA is one of the best manufactured pop stars of Korea. She dances. She sings. She's pretty as fuck. Please make a point of following her on instagram. She's adorable. I love her so much I follow her on twitter and it's all in Korean.

BoA is one of the biggest crossover successes in Asia. Actually, she's the biggest. BoA is fluent in Japanese and English and her native Korean. She's also sang in Mandarin. There's just a point where you have to be like please stop being better then me. She's had unprecedented success in Japan. She's had multiple number one albums and hits. She's absolutely amazing.

Her English career is where I got started with BoA. I absolutely adore her song “Eat You Up”. It's catchy. It's sexy. It's basically everything you could ever want from a Korean pop star. She's only had one English album and it was self titled. Honestly, it wasn't the strongest release. A few songs miss the beat, but it is still a solid pop album. Especially “Energetic” and “I Did It For Love”.

My personal favorite Japanese album she did is Identity. It's slinky. It has a very interesting sound and if you've ever wanted to try out J-Pop, I would say definitely try out this album. Not every song is perfect, but this is girl is releasing an album a year, and sometimes she's releasing one in Japan and one in Korea. It's kind of a mess. My favorite song on this album is “Possibility”. It's a duet with this cute Japanese man and I have cried so many times to this song. I don't know what they're saying. But, it's so sad. It breaks my heart.

Her Korean career is what I'm surprisingly lacking on. I can talk about her Japanese music, but where she got her start. In Korea. Really, I don't know. The only album I have that she sang in Korean is Hurricane Venus. This would have made a great vinyl. The first half is sleek dance-pop. The second part is ballads. Some of which are incredibly heavy and weigh the album down. I enjoy it. That's all that matters.

Honestly, what surprises me is that we never got another English album. Yes, her first album had a poor performance in the United States, but the Koreans and Japanese ate it up. When Psy had his major hit “Gangnam Style” that was the time to strike. American's would have bought into a Korean pop star. BoA could have killed it. I'm honestly surprised no one tried to break into the market. America has never had a true Asian pop star. That needs to be fixed.

In true Korean fashion. BoA is also an occasional actress. I swear everyone who's famous over there has multiple facets of talent. She was even in this movie called Make Your Move. I wanted to see it so bad. Derrek Hough was in it and he's pretentious prep boy cute. I'm sure the movie was basic as fuck. It was a dance movie with some Romeo/Juliet shit that has been done before, but BoA is queen. I honestly hate how much prettier she is then me.

Gabby

Gabourey Sidibe and I are friends, so I can call her Gabby. And, by friends I mean, that if we met each other, I feel like we would get along, and be awesome together. I could be wrong. I probably shouldn't call her Gabby. Because, I'll be in that mindset that I can call her that and the first time she meets me I'll be like what's up Gabby. And, she'll be like fuck this hoe who don't even know me.

There's a strong possibility that you know exactly who Gabourey Sidibe is. Her breakout role was in that movie Precious. I haven't seen it. I've been told it was amazing. It's on my list of things to do in my life. The Academy Awards had it nominated for everything. It was the token black movie that year. The Academy Awards forgot about that this year when they made the nominations.

Gabourey Sidibe is just really sexy. I've always loved her look and everything about her. She is just so funny. Invest some time in watching her interviews. She kills it. I want Gabourey Sidibe's life. Something has to be wrong with you to not want to be her. She's just amazing.

She is also killing it with that acting. She's been in a few seasons of American Horror Story. The world lives for this show and honestly I want to get into it. I'm such an easily scared little person, though. But, then Emma Roberts is in it and I love her. I feel like not watching this show is like being left out of a movement. I'm going to look back into 50 years and there are going to be reruns of American Horror Story. That's the real talk of what's going to happen.

The other show that Gabourey killed it in was The Big C. This is another show I haven't gotten into and I don't know if I want to. The whole concept is that the main lead is dying of cancer. That is not the kind of show I can handle. I can not be emotionally invested in someone for 4 years and then have them die on me. That is not acceptable.

The true pinnacle of what Gabourey is doing right now is Empire. Honestly. Who is not on Empire. Raven Symone is killing it. Everyone is living for Taraji P Henson as Cookie. Terence Howard is in it. Naomi Campbell made a cameo. This show is perfect..

I adore Gabourey. I adore everything about her. She is sexy. She is wonderful. And, I love her confidence. There are people who say things about her weight and she's all like the fuck. I am beautiful. I am wonderful. Fuck you. That's such a great model for people to have. Love yourself

And, be funny as shit. I could make this entire Snapshot Saturday out of gifs from her interviews and her tweets. Gabourey has no chill. I love it. She's just absolutely amazing. I have a girl crush on her. And, not the Little Big Town kind of girl crush. I don't want her man. I want her. Gabourey and I are one person. If I don't meet her and become her best friend before I die. Life will not be complete.

I know people were mixed on this movie. But, make a point of seeing Tower Heist. Gabourey is in it. She's this fierce and sexual Jamaican maid and she is everything. She also learned how to break into safes for this movie. So, not only does she do it in the movie, she can do it in real life, and I just think that's amazing. Just imagine taking classes where you break into safes.

What else is there to say. Gabourey Sidibe is amazing. Watch her movies? Tweet about this article??
