a lot of y'all claim to be body positive and anti looksism and then as soon as a celebrity does something problematic or you simply dislike them, a lot of you bitches will immediately call them ugly and I'm gonna be the one to tell you that you are not body positive! good looks are not the same thing as moral goodness! you are all so stupid!

the nature of the blessing

Look deep into a mirror and if you like what you see you are already blessed and need nothing from me . if you look and you see this is not how I look I am not that that thing is not who I am . we can talk . because when there is a love who looks and sees nothing but who you are and you are agreed and yet . the love sees also what is not you and uses it as a bookmark for the feelings they have about you . how your eyebrow wrinkles the saggy tit the belly the bitten nails calluses on hands . none of this matters and we all change if we live . we all grow old if we are lucky and wrinkles and wattles and grey . well . more bookmarks to love .

black cat

I am a black cat.

I am full to the brim with rainbows and crayon drawings of sunshine and flowers and hearts.

But you only see my darkness and alien eyes.

I purr but you won't listen.

All you want to do is catch me and burn me in a wicker cage without a single kindly touch

All because I don't look how you want me to look.

I am not a jinx. I know you think I am. What I am is not contagious. You should be so lucky.

My only bad luck is for me.

Natalie Would

  In past columns I've detailed why I've fallen in love with such Today chicks as Jenna Bush Hagar and Sheinelle Jones. Here is where I'll complete the troika of beloved Today gals, will explain in depth why this third Today girl has come to mean so damned much to me (Kathie Lee and Hoda, need it be said, are in an orbit all their own).             I'll first disclose the identity of said chick: Natalie Morales of the "regular" Today show and its Third Hour. She's become the latest NBC morning-show gal who has lit my fire, who has made my heart do cartwheels and has sent my pulse rate into the stratosphere.               Allow me to go into detail as to why.               To start off, Natalie is, to come right out and say it, the most beautiful, most desirable woman now regularly appearing on network morning television. With her billowing, lustrous brown hair; her exquisitely-shaped, sparkling eyes; her well-shaped Roman nose; her full, enticingly-deep-set lips; her rich, well-proportioned jawline; and her excellently-sculptured bare feet (Natalie has appeared barefoot more than any member of the Today regular cast, male or female, which bespeaks an entirely admirable trait that I'll get into as we proceed), Natalie is the kind of she-babe who, when you see her on morning TV, immediately lifts your heart. To take just one look at her is enough to make you want to damn the phony-feminists, their male groupies, and the PC Police for making such a stink concerning "looksism." If Denzel Washington, as one People Magazine correspondence writer asserted, is the man who makes all women exhale, then Natalie is the woman who makes all men similarly let out their breath.                 Next: There's Natalie's unstoppable vivaciousness. This girl is, quite frankly, an intensely rousing ton of fun. Although, to her great credit, has the maturity and the gravitas to handle Today's serious-news readings, she can easily switch gears and be entirely convincing (and entirely appealing) bantering with her Today colleagues and doing the show's fun stuff (Only her sister Todayers Tamron and Sheinelle have this ability). It's her time on Today's Third Hour that is the best showcase for her effortless sprightliness. During the opening "New & Noteworthy" segment, when she's sitting with Al and Tamron and Willie, her bubbly charm and her buoyant spiritedness come to the top for all of us to witness and enjoy (During one show, when Al and Willie were off and it was just her, Tamron, and Dylan, she quipped: "When the boys are away, the girls will play"). Really and truly, when she's on-screen, the fun factor is only a smidgen less--repeat, only a smidgen less--than when Kathie Lee and Hoda are on-screen.               Finally: There's the factor of Natalie's relentless good-sportsmanship. This gal is in no sense a prig, always willing to, to quote the famous words from Footloose, "cut loose...kick off [her] Sunday shoes," and let her hair down and have fun (As was already mentioned, she's gone barefoot more than anybody in the Today family, going so far as, during one outdoor report when she was standing in the sand, have the camera show her wearing flip-flops). Whether she's adorned in tight exercise clothes (and scrumptiously barefoot) engaging in yoga moves with the exercise queen Wendy Rubin (also wearing lusciously tight exercise gear and also deliciously barefoot) or giving her all in a Today parody of  The Voice (with Willie portraying the aforementioned show's host Carson ["If I don't appear regularly on TV, I'll die"], Tamron portraying Pharell Williams, Carson portraying Gwen Stefani, weekend-Today chick Erica Hill portraying Blake Shelton--and Natalie portraying Adam Levine) or freely doing outdoor stuff with her outdoor-partner-in-crime Jenna (Today's "Dynamic Duo," as Matt calls them), Natalie conveys a spirit of joy and uninhibitedness that never fails to engage our spirit and to put us solidly on her side. Honestly, she falls just a bit behind Kathie Lee and Hoda (and, at her best, just a bit behind Sheinelle) as far as being Today's most adorable anchor goes.                 During the 1980s this smash-hit country song went, in part:                                    "My baby is American-made,                            Born and bred in the U.S.A.                        From her silky long hair to her sexy long legs,                                My baby is American-made."                     It is a full-on pleasure to tune in to the Today show, where there is ample opportunity to drink in my "American-made" Today "baby," Natalie Morales, to exult in her upbeat good looks, her fizzy charm, and her volcanic energy, to relish Natalie's "silky long hair" and "sexy long legs."
