oh, check your own shit, pastorlux! ms. morrison is certainly not hawking this product to pay her rent. news flash: she's already a very wealthy woman several times over. & that's fine. morrison herself has been a scathing critic of the cultural commodification you talk about. i'm only suggesting that now that she's been dealt in, she continue her cultural critique from the viewpoint of her own lofty privilege. we'll see i suppose when her new novel comes out in the fall.

why do people criticize others as if their shit don't stink? everyone has to pay rent. why does an artist always get more flack for making a living than some MBA schmuck? this is a culture in which EVERYTHING is commodified. it is the only way we understand anything. either mobilize the revolution now, or get over it.

up to this point morrison has managed to keep her greedy careerism & unashamed capitalism behind the scenes. perhaps she can move on now from writing about black female victimhood to witnessing about black female privilege.

You know what, Dylan hocked for Victoria Secret i guess the lesson is we need to separate the artist from the human being.

i would rather this than some of the other stuff she could have done for money. Her bills still need to be paid. what a great way to promote reading

Basketball players do it all the time? Exactly. Morrison has lost her tact on this one, sorry. It was all about the money. She pimped herself.
It's sad, actually.

it is a celebrity endorsement. How is that a low. Basketball players do it all the time.
