Just when we thought we had seen the last of privileged and famous white women tweeting and instagramming "LA face with an Oakland booty," Blake Lively enters the game.

The 28-year-old actress was in France promoting Woody Allen's "Cafe Society," and posed for pictures while attending Cannes. On Tuesday, she shared a split photo from the red carpet: the first half shows her gold flowing gown from the front, the second half of the picture shows the dress from behind. Lively instagrammed the photo to the masses, along with the caption: "L.A. face with an Oakland booty (a line from Sir Mix-a-lot's 'Baby Got Back).'"

This did not sit well with the masses.

One Twitter follower posted the following:
"Another day, another rich white woman using WOC's bodies as a punchline and commodity. As if Blake Lively wasn't the worst already."

Another user posted this one (and it's actually my favorite one):
"I want to follow Blake Lively just to unfollow after this LA/Oakland business. So much privilege even GOOP feels uncomfortable." *snort!*

This next one was pretty powerful:
"@blakelively instead of your Oakland booty tell us more about how Woody Allen empowers women and the abuse allegations are not your business."

Blake Lively joins Katy Perry and Khloe Kardashian in the Epic Fail line at the "Don't let this happen to you" store.

My Two Cents

The privilege being exposed here...it burns. Just stop everything, Blake Lively, and be ashamed of yourself.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
