As far as Cindy the half breed goes, I wasn't. My use of the term implied that she really looked like a bred animal.

The post that you've so conveniently quoted (and bolded) was an explanation of WHY it's so easy for me to throw that term out.

Two different things.

That's what I was trying to get at. Before it got all complicated and shit.

I'm a freaking multi-breed (is that a word?) in myself. How the fcuk would I be racist? It'd be like hating on myself!

If you were referring to her looking like an animal, that's one thing. Glad to know you weren't talking about her in a racially insensitive way.

ok random, but in the 80s my dad was in a band called "poi dog pondering" and i had no idea that's what poi dog meant. interesting.

YOU ARE FREAKING KIDDING ME. Your dad was in that band? Pretty cool. Although I must admit, I've more heard of them than heard them.

The whole thing for me with Ava was:

1. The fake tears at dinner*two year olds do that
2. How her mom specifically told her NOT to go to Santa Barbara and she did it anyway
3. The manner in which she spoke to her parents.
4. Her incessant whining, ie Moooommmm....
Best part I LOVED was when her mom figured out Ava took off to S.B., she wasted no time, called and CANCELLED Ava's credit card.

This child has no respect for her parents. Period. (at least at that time)

Holy crap! One of my good friends (he was my youth group advisor) was the biggest Poi Dog Pondering fan EVER...he took me to one of their concerts when I was in high school. That's so awesome! Was he just in the group in the 80s (b/c I was definitely in high school in the mid-90s)?

The band is still around...they play local shows around Chicago. I am pretty sure they were the post-race band for a race I ran in the last year or two.

My Super Sweet 16 is one of my guiltiest pleasures!!! I did, however, cringe while watching an episode that took place in my "neck of the woods." The episode was during season 2, I believe, and it was Sophia's party. After the show first aired, my favorite radio station was tearing Sophia (and her mother) a "new-one" for the over-indulgence and bratty, whiney attitude. It's hard enough as it is to fight off stereotypes when asked where I'm from. The episode was pretty darn funny, though---she couldn't fit into her dress, she freaked out when her grandmother said she was getting a used car and, finally, the classic quote: "DON'T SAY THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND ME BECAUSE TODAY IT DOES!!!"

kdonline...WTF? Yet another Miami quince?

And is it just me or do they hire the same freaking emcee for every freaking Miami (and the vicinity) quince?

Tell me last night's celebrant didn't look like Meatloaf? COME ON!

Please no midgets. That shit's just wrong. I hope she gets shit for it for a long time.

(Methinks that cancan dancer was recycled from Sophie's Moulin Rouge party)

Well, when a huge part of Miami's population is hispanic, it makes sense that when they go to Miami, they do quinces.

Yeah no shit, genius I am very aware of the Hispanic population in Miami...

But do we really need a freaking Miami quince (or two) every freaking season?

Mmmmm no.

Exactly! Miami is not the only place with a large Hispanic population!!

P.S. the only tradition quince would be Janelle's (that was her name right? big mouth girl?). Of course they didn't show all of Alexa's, but of what they showed, Janelle's was more tradition and Alexa's was more of a "sweet 16" type
