KARLIE KLOSS: WHEN COMMENTS COLLIDE
Source |
So I came across the following discussion in the comments section of a Refinery 29 article announcing that Karlie Kloss was going to be a Victoria’s Secret angel. Fake names have been changed to other fake names in order protect the original fake identities. I will add that reading these comments reinforces my belief that I should stick to my previous plan of avoiding them.
- Bro1: Meh. I don’t care for Karlie too much as a VS model. She’s a little too bony. And she doesn’t really exude sex appeal.
- Bro2: I’m with you. Definitely not a fan. I don’t understand the appeal. She has the sex appeal of a cactus and I’m sorry that I’ll have to see more of her.
- FeminineMystique: So maybe if you shame her body on the internet VS people will listen to you and change their minds
- Bro1: Well, aren’t you touchy. I didn’t even come close to “shaming” her body. VS models are known to have a slightly more athletic build than traditional models. Karlie’s build is more runway than VS. She’s not right for the role, that’s all I’m saying. Way to overreact.
WHAT KIND OF ASIAN ARE YOU?

I wish I had the balls to do this whenever I’m asked the “Where are you from?” question, but I don’t, so I watch YouTube.

WOULD YOU BUY ORIGINAL ART?
One, Two, Three |
When I say “original art,” I mean an actual painting. I was poking around Sacchi Online and found a few things. Good resource, this one.
A PICTURE FOR THE WEEKEND NO. 18
When’s the last time you were on a train? I think it’s more of a European thing, but I have to concede that it can be a rather enjoyable way to travel if you can get a good one. Images from the Andean Explorer train that travels between the cities of Puno and Cusco.
Sorry about the tilt, the train was moving and shaking.
