POPSNancy Pelosi: So what are these "San Francisco values", anyway? "Nancy Pelosi said aloud today what everyone knows implicitly and no one ever acknowledges: when the right-wingers talk about "San Francisco values," they're condemning San Franciscans for not spitting on the LGBT community with a wink and a nod." -- from the Jezebel post about this

POPSVelvet D'Amour wants to diversify notions of modern beauty On top of how fantastic she is in and of herself, I love that she stands up for skinny models too. As one of the commenters on the Jezebel thread put it, "I think defending thin models is absolutely part of body acceptance; for me, the ultimate point of "fat activism" and ideas around body image is the recognition that one's worth as a human is not reflected or to be assessed by their physical form. That means no body is useless, ugly, or devalued, not fat, not thin, ever."

POPSJezebel's response to WP article by Charlotte Allen I love Twitter. I get exposed to things that I am not exposed to. Here is a great response (paragraph by paragraph) to Charlotte Allen's OP-ED piece on Sunday for the Washington Post. "Tongue-In-Cheek"? What a load of bullshit!?! There are lots of responses and all I can say is that article (if you want to call it that) is offensive and full of shit. I really hate it when women hate themselves. Hum, I wonder what Charlotte Allen is thinking or is she going to respond? I love that the editor of the WP responded for her.

POPSDiscovering The Black Male Cover Star Granted, this is one Conde Nast publication touting another. Still, it's an observation worth noting. The fact that a magazine can feature on its cover big stars like Washington, Woods, Smith and Obama and be considered -- correctly -- ahead of the curve is a sad statement on the whiter shade of pale that dominates fashion mags.

POPSMusic benefit for Common Ground in Brooklyn this friday I'm still a huge supporter of Common Ground's mission of solving homelessness (I worked there before coming here to Clipmarks), and will be attending this benefit show Friday. It's also going to be a great show of up and coming independent musicians! If you're in or near Brooklyn, please come out and join me at this event. The cover goes towards a great cause, and it should be a great night!
