My friend did this but asked for it for her birthday from her husband and parents. She only got about five items and it cost maybe $800 including the clothes? The main thing she got is that they culled her wardrobe and helped her really narrow down her style etc. so I think it can be less expensive if you just pay for

I love all of these.

“Grace Kelly meets Mad Dog Murdoch” - lots of pretty dresses with chucks, graphic tshirts with pencil skirts, lace and silk with leather or denim, short shorts with long cardigans.

As someone with seriously sun-phobic skin a thin cardigan is a summer life saver. I just got my hair cut short and now I have to remember to sunscreen my neck every bloody day. It’s exhausting.

Haha - my winter style is definitely “Children’s Movie Librarian”. All the layers, at least one pattern, at least one cardigan, probably incorrectly buttoned. I’m trying to nail down my summer style... I’m mulling it over.

Well this spelling is closer to the traditional, and as a Caitlin I believe it would be Cate, not Cait (who does that?). Also when I was 16 I wished my name was spelled with a Y so Caitlyn Jenner is fulfilling my dream from 2003.

Can you imagine? I’m generally supportive if people want to lose weight - I’ve lost almost 15 pounds this year so I can fit all my summer dresses - but there’s an underlying self-hatred that’s really disturbing. Like I just want to hug her and say “It’s actually okay to love yourself and exist in the world no matter

Yeah, the tweet says on the fridge, but the caption actually “an employee’s personal illustrations at her cubicle” which is much sadder.

Off topic but I love your Kinja handle! Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes...

Until your child is more trainable than a dog I think a leash is totally appropriate.

I had the weirdest experience at my cousin’s wedding because I didn’t want to go and then my dad pushed my sister and I up, but once I was up there something about the booze/music/atmosphere I was like “I want that fucking bouquet!” It only lasted about five seconds (I did not catch the bouquet) but it scared me that

The bride is actually a well-disguised dolphin and can’t get enough reach with her flippers to throw a bouquet over her head.

It’s not something that people outside marketing would likely know the name of, but you’ve definitely seen them before, just not at a wedding. They’re used at basically every press conference, most celebrity events etc. It’s a logo staggered and repeated over a large poster/display. Often there are three or four

That definitely occured to me. I mean, wouldn’t you rather drink the champagne/get an empty bottle from the company you own rather than pouring actual champagne for what is probably one of many takes for a music video? But maybe I’m not thinking like a crazy rich person...

Pedant warning: Beyonce did not pour $20,000 of champagne into a hot tub. That price is for a 30 litre bottle - which is not what she’s holding, obviously. The bottle she’s holding is more like $500. Also, Jay Z owns (or co-owns?) the company so it’s not like they paid retail for it.

Thanks - I’ll grab one from the library, maybe. I really like Gillian Flynn in interviews and there’s no denying Gone Girl was well written. A worse writer probably couldn’t have so effectively driven me away!

I couldn’t read Gone Girl. I must have stopped reading at least six books in the last few years because I just don’t need more stories from whiny, narcissistic man-children. A book entirely about/from Amy I’d likely have relished, but I couldn’t stand Nick’s voice in my head.

Calling something the next Gone Girl is the fastest way to ensure I never read it.

I’m from New Zealand so my reaction is mostly “Wait, you ONLY put politicians on your money? Weird.” Ditto Canadians who make an exception for the queen... Woo! Diversity!

I don’t actually think it would be that bad - lots of people have indoor heated pools so all you really need is a very good fan/ventilation system.
