It's just so classy to post pics of yourself in a bathing suit on IG for no other reason than just because you can. What has this world come to? Personally, since she's gone and done it and therefore opened herself up to comments, I think Rina is a bit fluffy for her age. Exactly. And her butt is flat-ish. It looks a lot like mine. Which isn't all that great. I should exercise more. But I'd rather sit and scrapbook. And especially, "it's just so classy to post pics of yourself in a bathing suit on IG for no other reason than just because you can." Eh, she's a lovely young woman and if she wants to post photos of herself in her bathing suit and is confident enough to do it, more power to her. I don't think she looks fluffy at all - to me she looks athletic, similar to competitive swimmers. I am another who is not a fan of the eyebrows, but that seems to be the fashion among most of the young women her age that I know. It's like someone a few years ago watched a tutorial for drag makeup and adopted the eyebrows, and it became a thing. Not going to judge; when I look back at my white-girl wanna-be afro perm from back in the late 70s, that wasn't a great look, either. Neither were the "natural look" brows that looked like a couple of caterpillars perched above my eyeballs. |

I do agree with you 100% that we need to do more to fund many of the things you listed. My company has been financially supporting the BLM movement with hefty donations to the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and we also recently raised over $22,000.00 for the Global Empowerment Mission to help with things like wild fires and hurricane relief. We also donate a lot to our local food bank and we support the national program No Child Hungry. Other charities we sponsor are the ASPCA (I love animals) and the Dreaming Zebra Foundation that supplies low income and underpriviledged children with art supplies and art education. This makes me happy to hear. It's just so classy to post pics of yourself in a bathing suit on IG for no other reason than just because you can. What has this world come to?

We should accept all bodies with how they look and not tear them down because they choose to post their bodies on social media. |

I agree that it's super mean of me and I know that there is nothing wrong with her body but I find it needy, not confident, when young women choose to post their bodies on social media. Why is it such a thing to show it all? Emulating trashy celebrities is not something that I would want my daughter to do. |

Personally, since she's gone and done it and therefore opened herself up to comments, I think Rina is a bit fluffy for her age. If this is fluffy, I need to seriously go to the gym and never leave. I'll be scrapbooking on a workout bike. And I am an old grandmom and honestly, my granddaughters do this same thing. They are young and beautiful and I think it's just what their generation is comfortable with. Maybe I am wrong, but I think we are all women in this thread? These kinds of comments surprise me a little. I think she is a beautiful girl. http://instagram.com/p/B0XVFC5FKMF |

I am a mother of boys. My youngest, 11 soon to be 12, goes to school with girls who want to be seen as sexy. That is their dream. Sorry, but I'm never going to say I approve of young women who put themselves out there like that. What kind of approval/comments is Rina expecting? Does she really need confirmation of her looks? Is she that shallow? Maybe it is the norm today for women to be all consumed by looks/exteriors/clothing/possessions, but I'm not a fan. It's going backwards in my opinion. |

I think I agree with sam9 in the regard that it really seems like she wants to be an Instagram influencer... and in general, posing like that at all seems like 'asking for likes' and looking for affirmation / approval from internet strangers. Maybe some of Collin Karchner's BS rubbed off on me?    I don't know. I know a 20-something young lady who lives in LA and posts stuff like this all the time, too- and by the pics and the hashtags, she's trying to be discovered, or get a break as an actress. Is Rina Gina K's daughter? how old is she, anyway? her other Instagram account has greeting card and creative posts, but it also has hair design and nail art... I was confused by the content. |

This "personal" account is 100% selfies/shots of her except for the one required black square for BLM, so I would guess her other account is everything else. IDK. I don't understand youths. (I have no idea how old she is - similar in age to HS senior Simon Hurley? I've seen that they collaborate, but idk - but I felt sleazy looking at her personal account, like a dirty old lady perving on a young girl.) |

RK tagged this acct from her acct: www.instagram.com/zaful/Like I said, maybe cards aren't really what she's into. Just a way to make some money while she pursues other things. |

Yep. This spring and summer she posted in her stories straight up q-anon BS and when I commented on those with facts, she turned all trumpy on me. I unfollowed and removed myself from her mailing list because I do not suffer fools gladly who believe any of that garbage. |

We should accept all bodies with how they look and not tear them down because they choose to post their bodies on social media. I'm not the best with words, but I saved this from Billie Eilish: "If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman. If I shed the layers, I'm a slut. Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it and judge me for it. Why? We make assumptions about people based on their size. We decide who they are, we decide what they're worth. If I wear more, if I wear less, who decides what makes me? What that means? Is my value based only on your perception? Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?" IMO, nobody needs to comment on anyone else's body. Every body is a good body. End of story. |

Andrea has a history of me-me-have-you-heard-(and-talked)-about-ME attitude. Snotty, petulant behaviour. Desperate to establish her brand and quit her day job so she can be an influencer scrap celeb. It's all hypocritical nonsense with a layer of super passive aggressive finger-wagging when she gets some criticism. |

I come from a big family and have deleted a SIL, BIL, cousins, and even mothers of some of my friends from FB. Delete and block; done, done, and done. I think I'm going to concentrate on the groups I've joined, but rarely check than my actual feed for my own sanity. |

Major Gen Z artist. 5 Grammy Awards this year. Often criticised for wearing super baggy clothes. Then got ripped apart when she was photographed wearing a tight skin top this summer because she had "become fat" or something. Ridiculous. |

I’m 55. I still remember what it was like to be in my 20s. So much stress and worry about being pretty enough, skinny enough, sexy enough. As a hetero woman it was all consuming seeking approval by the male gaze. I always felt fat and ugly and avoided having my picture taken. This was pre-tech so there are very few photos of me then. My husband found a photo of me when I was 19 (he met me at 24). His exact words were, “ Who knew I married such a hot chick!”
I look back at those pictures now and marvel at how good I looked and how great my body was. I regret I was so damn self-conscious. Cindy Crawford posed for Playboy because she wanted to celebrate her great body and face (which are her livelihood) at its peak. I understand that completely now.

It's all hypocritical nonsense with a layer of super passive aggressive finger-wagging when she gets some criticism. Ooh yes, she got so mad with the facts that she told me I clearly interpreted the facts wrong and then talked about how awesome trump was. I did a total hair flip on her and said that if she believed the current occupant of the white house that all her opinions were trash and I was going to do my best to let people know how awful she was. I totally regret the hair flip part because she made me so mad and I let her get my goat, I usually try not to respond like that. I think I was just shocked that she was so deep in it and I wasn't expecting that. |

IMO, nobody needs to comment on anyone else's body. Every body is a good body. End of story. So true. What I decide to do with my body is my choice. Thousands upon thousands of kids put bikini pics on social media. That's okay. It isn't up to me or my generation to decide what is right for younger kids (that we aren't related to). Of course everyone has an opinion about what is appropriate, but that doesn't make me or anyone else correct. Times change and I always promised myself that I would not be that old person who was going around saying, "In my day..." I didn't like hearing it from my elders and I am sure young kids don't like it now. And to be fair, I have seen way more of the First Lady's body than any young person on social media. She is much closer to my age and had no issue with it. Parents have a limited time to influence their kids. By junior high, a parent's influence is generally not nearly as strong as their peers. Most of these influencers have had more time to be influenced by their peers than parents (just like we were) and are now making their choices. |

She’s delusional. I don’t even follow her and know more about her family, marriage, and therapy than some of my own damn family. Truthfully, when I started reading I thought she was going to say she was getting divorced. That wouldn’t have surprised me. Someone must be feeling ignored. |

Someone must be feeling ignored. I know, right?!? I agree with both of these statements!! The only things that told me I wasn't reading something from Becky Higgins while I was reading that post was the fact that it didn't include the phrase 'you guys!!!' twenty jillion times, the lack of multiple exclamation marks, and the selfie was not of her crying.   eta: I have no idea how the quote feature got messed up in what I quoted above... sorry, guys. |

I remember when she disclosed that she made her husband sleep away from her for 20 years. This woman is batshit crazy. Seriously who gaf about your anxiety. Been dealing with it for 43 years. I haven’t had a decent nights sleep in 38 years because things haunt me in my dreams. |

That was not a *little* life update. Also, I don't know what it was generally speaking. A lot of a-sentence-makes-a-paragraph paragraphs, a lot of woe-is-my-privilege only to conclude on a note of woe-is-me-and-my-general-anxiety.
What I'm saying is that it was a typical CZ post. No need to click the link. Here's the TL;DR: CZ had wrist pain earlier this year and got ALL the tests done. Everything came back fine. Diagnosis was general anxiety. She stopped working 7 days a week (insert eyeroll) and made herself rest or something. And people didn't find her chipper so she did a year recap for those who weren't paying attention to 2020 (or CZ!): a friend of hers died in February, then the pandemic hit, then BLM, then wrist pain, then long "little" life update typed out with the uninjured-after-all wrist. There you go, happy 2021!
