Adult baby role play. Wheeze. I bow down to your vast knowledge of kink.

  I know what you mean. I’m casting around trying to figure out CBT. Unless they mean cognitive behavioral therapy. . .

    Google (on PRIVATE browsing, thank you very much) tells me that CBT = Cock and Ball Torture.
    
    I wasn’t really interested in exploring that one any further.

Gentlemen, I think these captions demonstrate that you’re ready for a sideline in writing those humor footnotes at The New Yorker.

Oh god, you guys are killing me with this one. Being Bay Area born and bred, I have known a few dominatrices and strippers who were working on their masters in philosophy or whatever.

I will say, Chloe looks really beautiful in the Tess and Britt photos.

You two are a special category of fabulous. I hope you know that all the way into the middles of your lovely/bitchy hearts.

Some of the quotes of la Sevigny are truly gasp worthy. She worries that her position as a fashion icon has affected her career? (snorting with laughter)

  I laughed, too. This fashion spread is sure to change that.

Jesus Christ, MY EYES. Interview obviously hates her.

*cackles madly* You guys are GENIUS!!! This whole thing is hilarious, but especially the knitting and the slight lisp. I die.

Seriously, though, she worries that her status as a fashion icon has hurt her acting career? She doesn’t, though, worry that flashing her crotch and ass will hurt it. *Files away for future reference*

Poor Britt… is she sitting on a fire hydrant??? Don’t they have a…ummmm… rather pointy top to them?? Oh God, I hurt just thinking about it…

Getting a certificate in cake decorating. HIlarious. I’m a wee bit jealous of Dimetria’s gams, but the tighty whitey crotch shot looks painful.

Too funny.

The most amusing part is, of course, her “quote” on the 3rd pic…” I’m worried that…some of the choices I’ve made…and because people think of me as this fashion icon…might have affected my film career.”

Poor deluded lamb, who’s going to be the first to introduce her to the notion that, far from being a ‘fashion icon’ she usually dresses like crap?

I LOVE your comments juxtaposed with the quotes in the editorial. Priceless!

Sidebar: ”I see women in Tompkins Square with their kids and they’re still in their combat boots. I hope when I’m that age I’ll still be representing.”

As a former Tompkins Square mom (in motorcycle, not combat boots), I have a question:

WHAT AGE DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

I can’t stand her, but LOVE your blogs about her. She is delusional – a self-made target.

  I just googled her — 37. You’re right, but in question to her comment above: representing what?

    Maybe counter-culture funk in the East Village? I’m not sure.

  LOL, I was just about to say the same thing then saw you’d already posted. It’s downright bizarre. And didn’t she have comment last year about “kissing boys”? What the hell?
  
  It MUST be an Indy darling thing. I don’t know if anyone else saw “The Big C” with Laura Linney, but Parker Posey did a turn as a woman, well, her age who acted like a teenage hipster. Most ridiculous and embarrassing character ever.
Julian Betkowski

So, I’ve always thought Chloe Sevigny had really severe features, but is it just me, or has she developed an air of The Swinton as she’s aged? This seems especially evident in the Pilar and Dimetria shots.

The second i read “CBT” i just knew the comments would be all about “What is CBT?”. Why must you boys scare the suburban straight women like that? Some of our mysterious ways should be left just that, mysterious…

  All it takes is a quick Google search and the power of deduction. Hmmm, it’s probably not Cognitive Behavioral Therapy….CBT IT Solutions, no, I don’t think that there are any fetishes related to IT Solutions…go down to number five on the search engine list…AHA! It’s actually quite educational

I hope Chloe reads your site…

I’m glad I took a break from my spreadsheets to come here. You guys never fail to deliver much-needed chuckles.

You two know almost as much (or perhaps more) about fetishes than I do and I’m a sex educator!

This is why I read you, it’s freaking hilarious and has totally brightened up this gray day. Chloe does give one a wealth of material to work with, bless her heart. The photo of her as Pilar, the Norwegian Latina, is beyond ridiculous and nearly a classic WTF.

Love that Tess specializes in fellatio (ahem, that’s my name and if I do say so myself, I teach a mean fellatio workshop). LOL

At the end of it all though, I think I’m impressed at what a damn chameleon Chloe is. I don’t think I’d recognize her in half the photos and that’s a good thing, I think.

She’s got to be doing this knowingly, to give y’all fodder, no?

The lolworthiness of this post aside (and it was very lolworthy!), I am really surprised by how different she manages to look from picture to picture. I always think of her as being very plain-Jane, but also very distinctive looking. She does all this dramatic shit to her hair and whatnot and she always looks the same to me. Here, definitely not. Who knew?

That said, this was hilarious.
