Yeah, I’m pretty sure Julian Assange still has a coterie of rich and/or famous hanger-onerers catering to his every whim.

I’ll spare you the gorier details but I had a very traumatic delivery when my son was born which necessitated a pretty drastic episiotomy: I dealt with it all surprisingly well — despite the absence of any anesthetic — but what really brought me undone was when the obstetrician (who was not my own) looked between my…

But why imply that Joanna got it wrong, usage-wise, when the truth of the matter is: she didn’t?

^^^^^ This ^^^^^

Yeah, that could happen to anyone, really. But the allusive-vs.-elusive cock-up is in a whole different category.

If it is indeed “journalism”. ;=)

That jumped out at me, too, so I’m glad someone brought it up. This happens way too much on Jezebel and I don’t think auto-correct is to blame.  

Erm, about that headline, Mr. Finger....... I had to read it at least twice to figure out that no one is claiming Burke Ramsay killed his sister for the price of $150 million. ;=)

Despite being someone who has no patience for Kim Kardashian, her hyper-materialistic family or their scripted and shallow little lives, I still think you — Jezebel — are going too far by essentially encouraging more of ^^^ this ^^^ kind of speculation.

Though I can’t recall the timeline, Mosley ended up having affairs with both sisters of his first wife — Cynthia “Cimmie” Curzon — plus their stepmother, Grace.

I highly recommend it, in particular because of the Oswald Mosley — as husband, father and brother-in-law — revelations, which created an even more “sinister” vibe than I could have imagined.

I’d long known what a dreadful human being Oswald Mosley was — from an historical perspective — but this book really cemented it for me: horrible husband (to Cimmie Curzon, at least) and a no-hoper to his children from that marriage. In fact, it was his sister-in-law Irene who seemed the most devoted to those kids,…

That’s a pretty ghastly way to go. On par with the sad demise of her “dear friend” Wallis Simpson, also in Paris.

Definitely a worthwhile read. And a “keeper”, for me at least.

I think I came across that poem, most probably in the aforementioned biography of the Curzon sisters. It’s a goody.

The thing about Diana was that she was defiant and remorseless right until the very end, and she lived well into her nineties. And, yes, I do think Unity was not in her right mind for most of her life, certainly as an adult.

The Curzon sisters, daughters of Lord Curzon, Viceroy to India. You learn plenty about Oswald Mosley, and even Diana Mitford, because Cynthia (Cimmie) Curzon was his first wife. You also get a lot of insider poop on Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, because Alexandra (Baba) married Fruity Metcalfe, one of Edward’s…

That whole Tubthumper album is a great listen, particularly when driving, I find.

Not to be confused with an ass the size of China.

The only baby shower I’ve ever been to where the mother-to-be wasn’t present was due to her having given birth the morning of. The baby was healthy -- just a tad premature -- so the hostess decided there was no reason to cancel. We eventually got to speak to the new mum via speakerphone which was a great ending to a…
