Let me start by saying that, whatever the shortcomings of the day, the idea to bring so many Asian American bloggers into one room was foolproof. It was a pleasure to put faces to names, to compare people's embodied selves to their online personas...

At the event we announced in our previous blogpost at the de Young Museum last Friday night, our art work was CENSORED by administrators at the de Young Museum, working in concert with their counterparts at the Asian Art Museum.

Hyphen magazine Judge dismisses the lawsuit filed against Miley Cyrus and her "goofy" face picture. What do you think about the case?

i think it's kinda brilliant legally in that it takes Miley Cyrus for what she is, a business, and files suit against her as such. i also find it interesting that the judge saw it as a serious enough case that the plaintiff wasn't ordered to pay legal fees.

Or, perhaps, that the claim was excessive.

From my understanding, they weren't pursuing her as a business, but as an individual, and using a statute that specifies businesses, because she is a minor. (In other words, a 16 year old, albeit a famous one, did something stupid in a private picture- aMAZing...)
