Exciting News!!! Due to the popularity of my Girls post, the New York Times asked me to weigh in on television and race in their section called Room for Debate. This is my second article for the Times; the first one was about Bridesmaids being snubbed for the Best Picture Oscar. You can read that here. At any rate, it’s always nerve wrecking writing for them, because it’s the Times, hello! They’re an institution and you don’t want to be a dud when you’re featured in the Gray Lady. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to be asked back. I was doubly thrilled to learn that my blog post re: Girls was read by them, so they wanted me to chime in one more time about the show and race. People at the Times read my writing? Heart boner! Now, I’m sure you can imagine how horrified I was when I was alerted by one of the editors that they were cutting a joke from the article because, fair Blaria, referenced the word “pussy.”
