Tracee Ellis Ros is Diana Ross’ daughter, who I guess is trying to milk her mother’s name and success further, because the trust fund and allowance and inheritance making her set for life…isn’t enough for her to fell fulfilled as what I assume is a 40 year old woman…so she’s trying to make a point on pop culture, that I don’t think really needs to be made…
This time, instead of asking her mom to pay her rent, she’s decided to recreate her mom’s content from 1981, making this bold statement….
…shift our gaze from how we are seen to how we are seeing and, more important, feeling. And I saw a woman feeling joyful in herself as a whole being; she didn’t seem to be presenting her ass or saying, ‘look at all the ways I can make myself look appealing to YOU.’ She seems to be saying, ‘this is ME feeling good and I am strong and sexy and joyful in ME’!”
To break it down, and I know you don’t care, and either do I, but I get annoyed when people try to make a point that doesnt need to be made, because we know popstars are whores and exhibitionists who want to be seen, noticed and talked baout….
But guess what…in 1981, this Diana Ross video was the equivalent of Nicki Minaj crawling around on all fours twerking….it’s just that the audience has changed…in 1981 dudes were jerking off to nipples and bush…meaning a popstar with a tight body in a one piece was racy…in 2015…people jerk off to throat fucking porn, have weirdo fetishes, and seeing Nicki Minaj on all fours is basic and barely even noticed amongst the noise…
So to compare 1981 whoring to 2015 whoring because 1981 whoring was more wholesome when censors were more aggressive….is just idiotic…and to make it a feminist thing, when clearly Diana Ross is being an exhibitionist in 1981…doing exactly what Nicki Minaj is doing today….is not empowering….it is just how people pay money…
I know…this doesn’t matter, this is just misguided and annoyed be despite not actually caring…at all…really…
