BEING SHADED, NO TREES REQUIRED

The Right-Side...

There is so much shade being throw around on the internet, around the dining table, at the check-out of every store, and everywhere else.

Shade?

Being shaded is NOT about trees! Even our mutt knows.

Not the kind that cools you down. No, this kind can really heat you up.

You know, judging people, places, things and making comments (mostly rude) about all of it.

The recent cover of Rolling Stone has brought the house-of-shade down on the vapid human striking a pose with her smushed boobs (they are being squeezed to the max on that cover, but rumor says she is so full of plastic, one wonders if there is feeling in her nips?).

See, shade. Yeah, so easy to do.

Reality STARS like KKWest ask for it by their actions. They want to be shaded, as it were.

Here is what I wonder.

When people throw shade all over regular types like The Left-Side and I, do they know WE know they are doing it?

Yeah, it happens to us regulars with regularity.

People insult about age, weight, the state of residence (Florida tops the list of shade-tossing) and almost anything else.

On a semi-regular basis TLS gets comments on his grocery store selections. Once another customer asked him why he was buying so much soup (it was on sale). A lady even commented on his vegetable choices and made her own recommendations.

I don't get that at the grocery store, just everywhere else.

Shade to the face is alive and thriving!

Once, in Las Vegas, TLS and I were shaded BIG time.

Standing in line to get into a, very average and nothing special, club, we looked around and our, much younger, companion had abandoned us. Across the lobby of the hotel, said companion could be seen. Hm.

Wordless SHADE, but shade nonetheless.

Oh, we got it. Who would want to be seen with us amongst the beautiful (uh-huh) types in line at a Vegas almost-dive.

We abandoned the line, and went on to lurk in darker establishments. Fun ensued with younger companion. Who cared? It is what it is. Period.

So, for me...yeah, I usually know when I am being shaded by words, looks, and rolling eyes.

I try to keep this in mind when I am shading others. I try to make sure TLS can take 'em.

Gotta dash...
