Camilla was NOT “lower-class”, her mother was the daughter of a Baron. Her father made his money in trade and that was somewhat looked down upon but to state she was from a lower-class family is absurd. Her family has always been peripherally connected to the royal family and she was presented as a debutatante at…

Alan Alda. Lin-Manuel Miranda

A-fucking-men. So well said. I would include anti-vaccine idiots who haven’t seen their siblings/children die or be permanently damaged from vaccine-preventable illnesses.

Worst/best horror movie ever.....Basket Case!

No love for “The Duchess and Dirtwater Fox”? The scene where they speak in a faux language....hilarious!!

Wow. My choir has performed Whitacre’s “Five Hebrew Love Songs”, this piece sounds absolutely incredible and I can’t wait to hear it. I know it’s trite to say but music really can capture a moment, even a terrible moment, beautifully.

Except we’re all in the car!

Just sucks that some males don’t use condoms. What an asshat.

My dad in his chef’s whites. 1951, I think. Total hottie.

I rented a condo on the North Shore of Oahu several years ago. I was a wonderful vacation...with one exception. The bedroom faced a property that had chickens. The frigging rooster would start crowing at, like, 3am. One night I lost it and shouted "it's the middle of the fucking night you feathered bastard". He…

"Anne of Ingleside" was not boring!! Blasphemy! You are not of the "race that knows Joseph"!

Admiral Sissy-mary!

Neither of them were. But, to put it in context, Charles was under enormous pressure to marry (and marry 'correctly") and to do 'the right thing". While he wasn't passionately in love with Diana he thought they would have a decent marriage and a good partnership (very much like what he had seen around him). Diana,…

Actually Edna, that story is bullshit. Harry's somewhat crazy mother made that (and many other stories) up in a fairly successful attempt to make their father look bad. The entire Morton book was Diana's "go fuck yourself' to Charles. Horrible.

Okay, cue the right-wing evangelical/Million Mom boycott of Crate and Barrel in 3...2...1

Um, does this video remind anyone else (disturbingly) of the 70's version of "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark"? When Sally is trussed up and getting dragged across the floor?

The Prince of "Whales" you are referring to never saw Balmoral. As the article mentions it was Victoria and Albert that bought the Balmoral Estate. George IV's was Victoria's uncle and his "getaway" was the horrific pavilion at Brighton.

Princess Michael of Kent??

Jesus!!! Help that kitty out of the pool already!

@squeakel: Oh my GOD!!! Is that Banoffee Pie for the WIN????
