Mandeesa was classy. My handle isn’t ironic. I’m a really big girl, but dang, Mandeesa’s got a really huge butt! ---

I loved it. We fat girls gotta learn how to take the jabbing and smile about it. She told him how she felt and then let it go. I don’t even care if it was for show. It was a good show. ---

I’m guessing he’s talking about the big girl who “forgave” Simon. David Radford! That’s the guy my daughter likes. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > I’m over the crooning thing. This guy is pretty good. Much better than that other guy last year. “The crooning thing,” I guess, is singing anything but the lite R&B pop like Kelly Clarkson? Like jazz standards by Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Rodgers & Hart? I’ll take “the crooning thing” any day, thanks.
