ReplySeeing Lacey is double heaven . . . . especially sitting next to Amber.
ReplyOf course you do, you are my neighbor – this should not be funny but I was rofl.
ReplyWow Seth how do you do it? Thanks for showcasing this. 0:49 But we didnt get a shot of Tom in leggings. And where was the usurper?
ReplyWhat an awesome amount of talent in these three, and the crew.
ReplyNot going to lie if Seth had guests (Jim Parsons is lovely) but otherwise just hung out with Amber and Jenny the whole time, it would still ROCK.
ReplyLet’s be honest.. there was a 50% chance Tom was gonna come in that way anyway.
ReplyYvonne would get mad when Anna would buy the same clothes as her.
ReplyI love hearing straight from the sources what they consider to be racist.
ReplyAmber, you and your sister are fire! Congratulations. Kiss your momma for me.
ReplySignificance of Triple Play in Vegas?
ReplyJoe Hayes seems to matter a lot
ReplyIt’s like Seth says, everytime such a white person as myself thinks “Oh, I’ve got it, this is bad”, it just turns out to be a lot worse. Like, we KNOW that black people are offered worse deals, but then she is right there on the phone calling those car dealers out on their lies, and they have the audacity to offer her just a fraction of the discount Mr. White Friend was offered … and it’s the same car, the same money, and WHY would they want to say no?
It’s not only mean or stupid, it’s … well, I guess it’s this alternative reality, where they feel hurt by black people having the audacity to exist. Racism is SO weird.
I read that first book to my daughter, but I warned her about some of the chapters, because she could end up not sleeping at all after reading something like that thing with Lacey’s art classes (read it, no spoilers here). And that’s just a girl *reading* about injustices. Imagine cute little Lacey being treated like that in school!
ReplyBeing phenomenal is apparently a family trait. You are a joy to watch and listen to!
