^ You're kidding right?

He is not kidding and I agree with him. And it is the general consensus today. Time for you to stop the hate and get over it. We get it. You didn't like it and you feel a need to argue with anyone that did.

"You don't go into getting tattoos thinking, 'Oh man, will this show in my wedding dress that I will wear for one hour once in my life?!'

Well, you should. Besides your wedding gown, you should decide whether or not you're ok with your tattoos showing no matter what you wear."

And maybe they did decide to give zero ****s about it, and there's nothing you, or any of your friends can do about it. Except judge them, but clearly, they give zero ****s.

Jane2, the negative attitude about tattoos is changing and fast. No one cares about people who have tattoos or where they are placed. Also, who are you to judge people? Tattoos are a personal choice and should be left out of your judgment.

Anyway, I'm very happy to work for a thriving company that celebrates our differences. One of my sales managers just finished her sleeve, and she loves showing it off. Our GM loves it too. She's not losing any business by wearing sleeves that accentuate her tattoo.

I've been theorizing this morning about the love for what seemed to me to be a rather bizarre and amateurish performance by Gaga, linked with what seems to be the masses' shared belief that good acting is merely anger and/or tears (at least that what is suggested by the fact that the snippets shown last night of nominees' performances were almost always about anger and/or tears).

More and more, I'm feeling there may be a link between the two things, a definite cultural shift perhaps in what is perceived as "good performing." Of course, this is utterly subjective; we all know there is no such thing as empirically "good" or "bad" performing, only what we perceive as such.

Having thought of her as a talented but frivolous woman who wore meat dresses and had young fans who acted rabidly and cultivated some sort of feud with Madonna, I dismissed her from the beginning. From time to time I would listen to a song and be reminded that she was talented, then go back to dismissing her again. The duets with Tony Bennett were good, but that also seemed a prank to me: I mean, really, anyone would sound good duetting with Tony Bennett.

Last night she stepped out there and took a chance: If she had sung that medley badly, she would have not only looked like a fool. She would also have diminished her outrageousness. Only by taking that material seriously and doing it flawlessly could she win.

And she did.

Her high notes were pretty, shockingly pretty. (I don't care if they lowered the key from Julie's. It's not the point.) But more impressively, she sang with dynamics: her softs, her louds, her highs, her lows--they were all planned yet effortlessly executed. And they were surprising and mesmerizing.

Especially in the light of the apparent failure of Neil PH in his hosting duties--after an otherwise promising opening number--it was delightful to have something so surprisingly talented and well performed happen on that interminable show.

I will be excited to watch her in whatever musical they put her in, whether it be Funny Girl, Dolly, Mame--or even Flahooley, damnit.

She was that good.

Would love her as mame.

Great performance. Would definitely play Captain von Trapp if this was revived

With all due respect, where are the gold stars for those of us who knew this all along?

Picked up the Mrs. today at the airport, we hadn't discussed the show, she loves Gaga as does my stepdaughter who she saw it with, she thought it was a hot mess.

That settles it then!

All art is useless.

But debating it sure is fun!

"Jane2, the negative attitude about tattoos is changing and fast. No one cares about people who have tattoos or where they are placed."

Also, who are you to judge people? Tattoos are a personal choice and should be left out of your judgment.

um, perhaps you missed where I said I got my first tattoo at lest 30 years ago, before you or anyone else jumped onto the trend. I couldn't care less what anyone thinks of me OR my tattoos. I never cared what anyone thought about me since birth. Hence I don't care what anyone else does and that includes whether they get tattoos or not. My judgment - I gave my OPINION, as we all do here, including your nasty opinion of me. My opinion is to make sure you're ok with the location of your tattoos. And it's damn good advice.

"Also, who are you to judge people? Tattoos are a personal choice and should be left out of your judgment."

Who am I? Spartacus. Now leave me alone with your nonsense.

@Jane,

where is your tattoo ? And what is it?

[Jungle Red]

Posted: 2/23/15 at 5:05pm

My opinion of you isn't nasty, but it is irrelevant.

So what if you had your tattoo 30 years ago? That makes you a zen master on the art of tattooing? Please. Get over yourself.

"Hence I don't care what anyone else does and that includes whether they get tattoos or not."

Except, Blanche, you do care, you do, because you've made it perfectly clear that you don't take people seriously who show off their tattoos. Why should Lady Gaga cover herself up to make you happy?

DAME - It's the lips from Rocky Horror and it's on the outside on my upper right arm. Before that one, I had another pair of lips on my back right shoulder but for some reason, it disappeared!

My smile was for Jungle Red and this discussion is messed up, that performance sucked, not as Bad as Idina at the Tony's 10 years ago but it sucked all the same. I have spoken!

[FindingNamo]

I have "Pay As You Enter" but I am not going to say where.

[Jane2]

Posted: 2/23/15 at 5:07pm

Jungle Red, I said leave me alone. You make no sense. Go back to elementary and get some reading comprehension skills.

[DAME]

Posted: 2/23/15 at 5:09pm

I also have lips. But not Rocky Horror based. And probably in the same place where Namo's "pay as you enter" is.

[Jane2]

Posted: 2/23/15 at 5:10pm

HAHA. Actually my first pair of lips, which I left to the tattoo artist to draw, were not the right kind. I'm glad it disappeared. For my second pair, I drew them myself and had them copy it.

As many of us tattooed people know, the reds really fade badly. I go back periodically to have the red filled in again.
