This one is hilariously wrong.
'Underneath'
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
People are idiots. They do that on the reservation, too. There's a little safari themed bus you can take to go down and stare at the "natives" buying groceries at the Bashas. It really couldn't get more offensive.

... I cannot even begin to understand that.
Except it's hardly restricted to NO or the reservation. When we were in Granada we were offered the opportunity to take a tour of the hillside caves above the city, where the Roma live. "Just like Hobbit-holes," said the salesman. "Gypsies and Hobbits, just about the same anyway."
My niece and I were so horrified we didn't even react, just begged off and got out of there.
"Slumming" isn't a new practice.
P-C,
LOL. I cannot get enough of the Ryan Gosling tumblrs. Seriously.
BTW. I am wide awake at WTF o'clock and I'm not happy about it.
This week is not starting well. I am sick (I hab a code), I am menstruating, and I could not sleep last night. The amount I want to be at work is zero, but we have a big program next week, and then I am off for the theatre the week after that.
Also, I was so confused this morning because Martin Sheen emailed be about President Obama. Then I realized he must be part of some democratic association I signed up for, obviously Martin Sheen does not have my email.
Good lord, Liese.
I'm not saying people shouldn't go down there - but find someone from the neighborhood to tell the story, volunteer, interact. Be a decent human being, please.

I am le nubian.
Sophia, I hope your week improves quickly.
I thought Slumdog Millionaire was poverty porn, too, so slumming takes multiple forms as well.

I can see that being confusing in an "Am I still dreaming?" kind of way.
I had a dream last night that I forgot to bring my laptop to work with me and so I had to waste half the morning waiting for SAP to be installed at the hotdesk PC.
Seriously, worst dream ever. Even while it was happening I was beating my subconscious with a stick for giving me such a fucking boring dream.
