Is she that freaky warbling elf that plays the harp or some shit?

Cindy, mr. dammit is a total techno-ma-geek-nerd, so forwarding your hubsters site to him.

After the "Esquire" piece, I fell in love with Roger Ebert all over again (I used to be a big "At the Movies" fanatic and I loved, LOVED his "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" screenplay!) I almost gave my husband a heart attack when he saw that I DVRed "Oprah" yesterday to see the interview, as I have never watched her show before. He was relieved to know it was a one-time deal. The segment, by the way, was awesome - and I think Mrs. Ebert is the most awesome wife ever.

God, just on that first page, there are 3 hipsters wearing those fake, black rimmed glasses.

I'm going to go punch one in the nuts. They make it easy, because they're all wearing women's jeans.

As a vaguely hipsterish music critic, I just want to point out that Joanna Newsom is amazing.

And, sarahk, those glasses are like a calling card; you know who's got the best record collection by how thick and cheap the glasses are. The cheaper, the more money they've thrown away on vinyl. If you're going to really hit them where it hurts, steal their record stash. Just saying, as a hipster myself, nothing would piss off a hipster more.

AHEM. We prefer to be called "Losties."

Thanks.

If there was one thing Nirvana was missing, it's splits.

If courtney hadn't killed kurt, that video would've.

ZING!

Ugh, that Sascha Baron Cohen thing sounded terrible. Whatthefuck.

I want to also point out 'short hair and trousers at 3 dont equal lesbian' isn't strictly true.

I know a few lesbos who never, ever wore dresses, even as toddlers, would change into jeans...So.

Yeah.

But please, dont lets turn this into a flamefest.
If Shiloh is a tomboy, she's a tomboy, if she's more than 'just' a tomboy, so be it. As I said before, she seems happy and well adjusted and her parents seem to be letting her explore her identity, wants, likes etc, at her own pace so...

i think "thespians" is the current pc term.

i have short hair and i've gotten the "but you don't seem like a lesbian."

then again, i did wear pretty pink dresses as a toddler. it just wasn't meant to be, i reckon.

Can I call thespians thespos?
I had hair shorter than Shiloh's not three years ago, while I was at university, and I wore jeans. A lot. Short hair and trousers dont = Lesbionicism.
The only reason I think what I do about Shiloh is that she doesn't wear like, girls jeans and t-shirts-her clothes clearly come from the boys section of the kid clothing store.

But shit, if she's into peter pan and identifies with the male characters, who have the most fun any way, then I dont want to fault her.
If she IS transgendered or gay, from such an early age, well with her parents and position she's set to be a helluva little icon isnt she?

If even one room of The Manor has jelly beans, I'm there.
I FUCKING LOVE JELLY BEANS.

All I can tell you is that as a mommy of a just-now four year old girl - you don't get to pick what they wear. Children at that age are delightful little sociopaths who are making the grasp for power - THEY tend to dictate what's what, and as long as you get those winter tights and sweaters on somehow, your best move is to let them express themselves - because who the heck does it harm if they wear what they want? My daughter looks like Holly Hobby merged with a goth today. Fine by me.

She is also currently doing the pretty princess/'be a marriage woman' thing. It's a big thing at daycare. Okay. But then again, two weeks ago I barely caught her in time, trying to give herself the peppy short 'boy' hairdo she'd been talking about.She can have it short if she wants, but her concept of changing back was to have me glue it back on, so we chose to bide a wee on that idea. She also wishes she had a penis for 'more fun peeing'.

I defend the Jolie! Normalcy doesn't sell papers, vitriol does.

and yes, "thespos" is so hot right now.

Um. Replica your kid is a bad ass. Nuff said.

Aye, like I've often said, I dont like Jolie. I dont. Something about her rubs me the wrong way. I feel like I wouldnt trust her if I knew her personally.
But she seems content to let her kids be comfy.

I remember not long ago, there was a hissy fit when Zahara was seen with her hair just loose and wild.
People said that Jolie obviously hadnt bothered to research the hair of her black adopted daughter and so didnt know that it would be 'best' to style or braid it to keep it neat.
All I saw was a four year old with messy hair but people pitched a fit.
Like I say, I dont like Jolie but the woman isn't a bad mum, she lets her kid dress comfy rather than dolled up to please the cameras.
I honestly wonder if little Suri Cruise wants to wear high heels all the time. Or if she wouldnt mind wearing a FUCKING COAT once in a while.
I read something the other day, about Suri, some one said 'She's like her mum, always in dresses, she wont wear trousers'
And..um...Outside of red carpets I dont think Katie Holmes OWNS a dress. I have never seen her in one. So yeah.
Like I say, if Shiloh is a tomboy, what ever. If she's gay or transgender, what ever. She seems happy and she's growing into her looks (I didnt think she was all that cute as a toddler)
I dont for a second think Shiloh is being MADE to dress or style her hair like a boy by Angelina or any one. What possible reason could the woman have to make her daughter dress like a dude? She's freakin weir but she's not that freakin weird.

WOW, I'm sort of defending Jolie...I feel dirty. Not good dirty.

Thespos is SO hot right now.

Stopthemadness, I FUCKING LOVE JELLY BEANS. I ate a pretty huge bag today in about ten minutes, felt the rest of the day feeling outrageously sick and I REGRET NOTHING. I FUCKING LOVE JELLY BEANS.

Tracer, you'll be receiving the bill for my now ruined keyboard (what with the tea and the spit soaking it) in the mail

Congratulations, Stacey, Pajiba now has a blurb on that People Hugging the New Joanna Newsom Album website.

Okay, hi, hello. I may have been gone and off working in the wilds of digital publishing for a while, but all it took was one "ice dancing" video to snap my ass back.
Dude, duuuuuuuude. If Cobain weren't already dead, this would have driven him to it.
Also, I'm pretty sure I recognized Pat Benatar's shoulder shimmy from the "Love is a Battlefield" video.
And then he looked like he was taking a dump on the ice. I don't need to see anyone, in any situation, spread their legs and squat like that. Ever.
I quite literally started shrieking with laughter, and then I couldn't breathe. From all the mad, screechy giggles.

ScienceGeek, valid point but it wasn't the Lesbians who told me, it was their mothers who described their total lack of dress wearingness.
You're all probably right, kids are unpredictable and will dress how they feel. I once cut a middle chunk of my fringe out because I thought it would look cool. I was...so wrong...
BUT, doesn't change the fact could Shiloh could be a little LesbiToddler. We're BORN with those preferences =)

I once called my BF's cat a LesbiCat.
I like putting Lesbi in front of things.

But no, aye, it's not something I spend hours pondering over, just something I feel will totally turn out to be right in the years to come (it's happening enough lately to totally freak me out, that my wild theories or assumptions actually turn out to be right)

Bahahahahahahaaa oh man is that Scott Williams ice dancer the one they had on TV stating that ice skating/dancing should be more macho? (since it's in dispute thank to Johnny Weir) Cause holy cow that was ridiculous.

Yeah, that figure skater put the "dick" in ridiculous.

I think 'Vagitarian' is the funniest thing I've heard in a long, long time.

"She also wishes she had a penis for 'more fun peeing'."

As a long-term penis owner, I have to say, it does put the "fun" back in "body function".

Honestly I didn't realize Blades of Glory was based on a true story.

I think discussing sexuality at Shiloh's age is an entirely fruitless pursuit. At that age I was still wearing the occasional dress (male) and I would on occasion let the girls in school do my nails right up until I was 8 or 9 years old. Thank god I was high enough on the social hierachy and already big enough that nobody messed with me over it.

I grew up to be a somewhat normal heterosexual male is my point.
