It’s pretty good, right? I like the song more than I did yesterday, and I liked it quite a bit yesterday. I don’t usually get excited about Hype Williams videos, but I like that he lets Nicki be weird and make lots of faces (which is, I guess, her “thing,” and which is also a thing I’m quite fond of.) Also Sean Garrett, the man that co-produced the song and provides the hook, looks like he might be kind of fun, too.
I’m just wondering how much Mattel gets paid from all the Barbie mentions? I’m also pretty sure they’ve got the Barbie pink trademarked. And I assume that the Liberace and Lloyd Webber references are there for, uh, Minaj’s other audience.

On March 20th, Donna Hughes and an economics professor named Margaret Brooks sent out a Citizens Against Trafficking newsletter (PDF) that does not mention anything at all about trafficking. Not even in passing. Not once.
It does, however, use a completely imaginary threat of “children learning about sex” to mock and discredit a man from San Francisco who briefly passed through Providence over a month ago.
Maymay is the creator of the KinkForAll unconference, an open forum for kink education that’s taken place in cities across the country over the past year. The idea behind Kink For All is that anyone can attend and anyone can teach if they want to. However, Hughes and Brooks are (belatedly) not amused: “CAT believes [Maymay] and his friends are dangerous to the community.” Because he may have something to do with human trafficking, the alleged area of concern for CAT? No, of course not.
Because he is “recruiting children” to teach them about kink.
