Miss J just released a book, so he's everywhere. Today in Miss J, he explains his opposition to the word "fierce": "'Fierce' can be fiercely miss-used! And Christian Siriano took it as his and now it’s associated with him. 'Fierce' has been used for years in the gay community and not in the same context as Christian is using it. That’s my little white sister’s word, so let’s move on." [Moment/NYT]
