KREAYSHAWN - GUCCI GUCCI

Ooh, I want to crush that name flat between two good, old, important books and eat the resulting paste

she talks like a Questionable Content character

i'm 28 btw

Didn't like that article much but love E Zimm, she's great.

this article is hilarious

what part?

its not even about the song itself, that piece is just like. "oooh someone is so 'cool'" like its trying to be cooler than something cool by pretending not to care about being cool?

^ solitary posts that effortlessly summarize the spirit of ilm

what part?

the part where she has a mini existential crisis about feeling old because she doesn't like Kreayshawn

i guess that seems like a weird example to me, feel like that song could have come out any time in the past decade & been as big -- its a pretty standard joint

I think focusing on the treatment of Kreayshawn in this article is to fundamentally misunderstand/misread it; it is self-absorbed navel-gazing to a hilarious degree (which I would have thought would have been emphasized by the omg I'm old crisis being caused by... Kreayshawn, who is mostly inoffensive/ignorable in a world that contains Tyler)

yeah i mean i guess ive had that exact same idea tho before but it deserves a couple seconds of conversation when you're at a bar w/ your friends, not extensive think-piece writing

also it just seems late on the backlash train

i am genuinely dispirited by this thread

we just aren't that into designer labels

let alone something that warrants commissioning a graphic.

the gauld makes it all worth it tbh

Tyler songs are not going to be played at the bar when you're they're with friends. "Gucci Gucci" will.

* when you're there

What the hell has happened to me

When I was 8 or 9, my grandmother took me to McDonald’s for lunch, and the toy that came with the Happy Meal was a cricket that chirped when you spun its wings. (A “Mulan”-related toy, if that matters.)

wait, this girl's 21 or so? talk about feeling old...

wait...the article says she's 28

mulan came out in '98 which meant she was 14 or 15 at least.

sorry, but inaccurate happy meal stories are inexcusable journalism.

she's 28. the lead is a glaring error that she acknowledged on her twitter.

christ if i'd known premature cranky old ladyisms could have been my entrance into the times i would have been putting this gender-ambiguous name to work for me.

not gonna judge a teen for ordering Happy Meals, I used to get those in college

how on earth is that enough food for a grown man

you get two of them

also means you get to double up on the toys!

man remember when mcdonalds had those nasty ass "fajitas"? i used to consume my weight in those.

it did save me having to go to mcdonalds for fries and taco bell for "mexican" in order to make a complete meal.

um mcdonalds "fajitas" were amazing thanks

I have made it a personal policy to avoid anything on the McDonald's menu that isn't classic McDonald's food; no "fajitas", no McRib, no lobster roll... none of that shit

I did break policy for the McDLT, because it kept the hot side hot and the cool side cool, also at the time I hated the environment and wanted to contribute to its destruction

Put me in the "I really like Edith Zimmerman, maybe especially the 'short story' she wrote about a fart that runs away from home" column. It's weird, though, watching the Times magazine try and find a way to just let her "be herself" inside it. Like Max says, sometimes it just sits wrong in the format. Even the free-form "Riff," apparently!

Once upon a time there was a fart who ran away and lived in a tree. Her mom was like “OMG you’re going to get lost, come back down and hide inside this blanket,” but the fart was like “Literally Mom shut up, let me live!!!” But it was a sad story because the fart got picked up by the wind and she died. :(

Fun fact: the fart's name was Kreayshawn

but how did the fart pronounce it

"pfffbbbbbttttt"

Fun fact: That's pretty much the plot of a Ren & Stimpy episode she surely saw if she's 28

haha wow yeah

My world is kinda shattered now! Well anyway she's typically super-great, is all.

The part of that article that weirded me out, incidentally, was the description of Kreayshawn as "hypnotically confident." Compared to most musicians, she does not strike me as remotely confident. She seems like an incredibly normal person who's just being trotted around so everyone can be interested in her. She doesn't even say much! Just "hi, I'm Kreayshawn, which is a fact you care about for reasons that don't have much to do with me. I'm going to check Twitter now."

if people are looking for funny Edith her "letters to women's magazines" on the awl and the hairpin are hilarious

i'm not really looking, but thanks

ouch :-(

sorry max, it's nothing personal. i've just sworn off the internet.

and on it, too

(Brushes hands, moves on.)
