@blah: Precisely, says this person with Marfan Syndrome.

@egged: There is no more divine right of kings in Great Britain. William and Mary ended that when they became rulers thanks to Parliament, not God. English Bill of Rights and all that.
@Veruka_Assault: She wouldn't get it anyway. Currently, she's 13th. The change would just make her 7th.
I just posted this in tips like five minutes ago! I'm sure you didn't see it, but I'm glad it made it to the site nevertheless. I'm definitely in favor of the UK following Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark on this.
I like how Jesse Eisenberg is the male Kristen Stewart.
Is there some kind of Jezebel mandate that says that every aspect of the royal wedding has to be reported on, but that those who write them have to go to great lengths to show that they couldn't care less? If you honestly don't care, you don't have to write about the royal wedding. Some people care about the royal…
I thought that Joe giving Jackie some money and freedom to travel and do things in exchange for staying married to Jack was common knowledge. Also, I don't really care for the implication that Joe revealing that Jackie's grandfather was a Jew makes her look bad.

@alula: Yes, I totally covered my eyes at the hanging bit, just as my friend screamed and covered her head with her coat at the part where the guy's fingers are cut. Between that and the same friend comparing Mattie falling in the cave to the time when Michelle on Full House got amnesia from falling off her horse, I…
Hailee Steinfeld was amazing. I loved the way she spoke and the way she carried herself. It reminded me so much of Megan Follows in Anne of Green Gables. I'm not a fan of westerns at all and only saw it because I was bowing to peer pressure, but I ending up really loving True Grit. All the buzz had been about it being…
I know members of the military who are gay and they've all seemed to find each other just fine using the existing social networking sites. From what I understand, the quote above about everyone already being out is the way it seems to be for the most part (though obviously not the case for everyone). One of my best…
I've read her book! It's pretty funny and entertaining, but at times she's reallllllly not self-aware as to how elitist and bitchy she comes across. Not to mention that as as someone who considers herself a royalty expert she makes a lot of really amateurish mistakes. Plus, it seemed to take her an awful long time to…
@caseycannolis: I think it's a combination of the Queen and the Middletons. William's isn't a state occasion either, even though the Prime Minister made it a national holiday. Taxes will once again be used for security since the royals will be there. In this case, security will cost a lot, though, since there will be…
@caseycannolis: Zara's wedding won't be a royal wedding or state occasion. It's private, so the only thing taxpayers will pay for is the security for her relatives who come -like her grandmother.
@tuntastica: Of course she'll have a British designer. I just meant that that even if these designers were British, that's not what's keeping her from choosing one of them. They're pretty bad, no matter what their nationality is.
Victorian wedding dresses weren't red until 1900. Queen Victoria, who the era was named after, wore white at her wedding in 1840. That started the trend.
@cassandraj: Actually, like every missionary I've ever met drinks soda. It's coffee and tea that they seem to have the problem with. I asked about the soda thing, they said it was just individual preference.
@cassiebearRAWR: No, it's from the thing you carry arrows in. The movement is based on a verse from the Bible which says that your children should be as numerous as the arrows in a quiver, something like that.
@cool_as_KimDeal: Such as.
@Norton: No they're not. Just the security. And since it's a state occasion I don't see the problem with that.
