I believe that step one is to "identify" as a girl. Steps two and three could prove trickier. They are: 2) Make a video on YouTube whining about how you just can't find any "real" men. 3) Add various tattoos, rainbow-striped hair, and ear pierces to look the part. Then, when you look like the following, you'll have good reason to be among the oppressed.

For what it's worth, I see this as more of the Artler look:

I see my own victim costume is something a little more dignified (and definitely guaranteed to bring grift):

And when I saw that photo, I almost had a heart attack as this came to mind.

I see this as more of the Artler look: Yep 360 degrees elevated view of all approaches and I especially like the extended middle finger.

This man is a very unusual politician.

Yep. That's adopting the perfect attitude. He's a servant of the people, not their master. I just hope he has a good bodyguard.

Best wishes to the wives and lovers of all those assembled here on this Valentines Day. And as they say, may the two never meet. (Insert rim-shot)
---
A guy walks into a Hallmark Store. He asks the attendant, “Do you have a valentine’s card that says: Our love is unique, I love you with all my heart, you are the love of my life.” Attendant says, “How romantic, Sure, We do have some.” The guy says, “Can I get 3 of those please.”

Sounds like this movie.
I got chocolate-covered cherries for my Valentine's Day gift.

I've never seen that one. I didn't know that Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis did a movie together. Thelma Ritter is always a hoot. And she was also in All About Eve...a movie I mean to get to because you had mentioned it. Notable too in Rear Window, Pillow Talk, The Misfits, Birdman of Alcatraz, and Miracle on 34th Street.

Obviously the wife thinks you are fit and trim just as you are. Cue the music, Irving:
All the best today to Mrs. Flu and Artler's Better Half.

A very nice video. I think that might be my favorite Billy Joel song. I used to sing it a lot in bars across Tokyo.
On the one hand, I thought her rendition a little slow, at least for my taste. On the other hand, it is more difficult to sing at the slow pace than at a more rapid pace. Any faults or failures show up more clearly. This girl had complete control over her voice.
More likely, she has given up hope.

That video was chosen somewhat at random, although I did listen to it.
I think some singers (her included) "over-stylize" songs. What's the difference between skillful crooning and over-stylizing? I don't know, but I know it when I hear it. It's like many of the National Anthem singers who butcher the song by turning it into a lounge act. On the other hand, there are others who do add a tasteful touch to the song and I have no problem with that.
I agree with you that she has a nice voice, although the character of it is not quite to my taste. It has "adult contemporary elevator music" written all over it.
That said, I would definitely enjoy watching her sing in some sleazy, smoke-filled lounge...or a nice one as well.

For a teenager, she is now 16 or 17 years old, I am impressed with her talent. As she matures, I suspect she will develop her own style.

I've mentioned before, I will not go anywhere where there is a major crowd...including Super Bowl winner parades. What are the odds that the shooter or shooters were black?

Read: black crime. They never say "black." They always say "gun violence."
It's not a laughing matter, but love this comment:

What are the odds that the shooter or shooters were black? If the media doesn't immediately say they are white, bible toting, Christian evangelicals with one wife. Then you can bet they are black.
