You need to understand I live in the third world.  :D

Color me quite unimpressed.  So does this mean that you'll just explode when Poland gets Marc by Marc Jacobs?
Also, perhaps you should go shopping in first world countries?
With the current exchange rates? Sorry, but this option is temporarily: unavailable.

Besides, fashion's purpose (i.e. getting ass) is relativised to your environment.

Maybe, but many people like people who are trendy and ahead of the curve, so to speak.

How can you not love this song?

Honestly, I see the logic in claiming that this song is homophobic, and I'm a little surprised you would stick up for it in this way.

Actually to me it comes across that she's dating someone who is clearly gay and he should just fess up.

Although I can also easily see that it could be using gay in the negative effeminate sense.

Who ?

(getting old is great, you get to ignore 'popular cultural' memes and act like a high court judge on hearing that some musical instruments use electricity)  :bowler:

Were you generally up to date when you went on your walks/bicycle shitting in the woods trips?

*shrug*

Not every case of playing up to a gay stereotype must be homophobic, especially as the entire thing is clearly done in a tongue-in-cheek humorous way. And there is a stereotype and a stereotype, too. It's not like the song is about the stereotype of gays as disease-ridden, child-molesting perverts. And as far as the stereotype in the song goes, I know many gays who are like that (to some extent, myself included). I think it's a catchy, humorous little ditty which is satyrical, but not in a vicious or xenophobic way, imo.

I was sitting in my spanish class today when I realized I was wearing a Uniqlo shirt and an H&M jacket. :blush: :blush: :blush:

Do you guys learn actual Spanish over there Garbon, or just that Mexican nonsense?

On the original topic: who? My dance playlist is stuck on the 90s: KLF, Technotronic, Black Box and so on. I would hit her though. I love black hair.

I have a Nicaraguan professor who is trying to teach us Castilian and Mexican.  In highschool it was strictly Castilian (when I was in Massachusetts).
