Thank you, Ms. Friedan. You were very different than me and your life was different, but I still owe you.

Hmmm.... good name change question, Daisy Jane. I have no idea.
all of the daily drudgery of figuring out how to change documents (let alone changing a passport... I FEAR THAT) terrifies me about changing my name, which I want to do.
Today, parking was all snarled at school because they are filming on campus. I hear that it's the next Spider-Man movie. They are putting up huge scaffolding around the mansion. It must be so expensive to film on location.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Trudy, your stance on this strikes me as so cynical it's almost wrapping back around to naive. Publicists' jobs are to make their charges desirable to the public. No doubt some of them feed the paparazzi to do so.
However the idea that the paparazzi are always invited to fly over and take pictures of celebrities at home or to stake out their supermarket--why the fuck should someone have to send their assistant out to buy Midol? How is that the celebrity's fault?
Fact is, the paparazzi know there's a market for stalkeresque pictures, whether they're set up or not. They're not patsies in a great puppet show manned by celebrities and publicists. They're agents too.

While I do think it is going way out on a limb to say celebrities as a group want the paparazzi kind of attention and no way would I say they desearve it, I think we all know that there are certain types of people who want attention and go about getting it in odd ways. For these creatures, who I do not understand at all, it is enough to get attention, even if it is negative.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I confess to enjoying the "Celebrities are just like us!" features in magazines, with the pictures of people walking down the street with coffee or whatever.
Does that make me a bad person?

We all have our cross to bear, OK??
So, I had a big late lunch, and now I'm hungry. I hate that. Maybe oatmeal.

I will pray for you tomorrow at church. Then I will make a sign for you to wear that says "I contributed to killing Princess Di".
