Let’s taco bout how warm that looks. Might get a bit clammy, though.

It must be warm as hell, because it’s all the man in the boat wears when he’s out to sea. 

Did you try reading the labial?

That is kind of fucked up and awesome.

It’s making me hungry. Weird.

There is nothing not funny about googly eyes. Ever. I hope someone puts them on the urn containing my remains.

My friend recently used “we’re procuring a baby” - I rather liked it, because it shows that it can a conscious decision/effort to conceive, could apply to giving birth, adopting, using a surrogate etc, and also refers to the sudden and immediate extra costs associated with child rearing. 

Thank you, I thought I was the only one. It generally translates to a very high probability I will find the people parts of the coupledom insufferable.

“We’re pregnant!” makes my skin crawl.

I hate that expression soooooooooooooooooooooo much.

Can we stop saying that two members of a couple are pregnant, unless there are two women, each of whom is pregnant? 

No one should model themself after others, and you shouldn’t expect others to do what you do. And here’s the magazine cover you mentioned. Really, Knightley should know that one snap shot is not representative of the rest of your life.

That still doesn’t sound *directed* at Kate Middleton to me-- sounds like it’s about the culture that forces her to pretend that this stuff is easy.

From what I read (via Page Six and Cosmopolitan; I haven’t read the actual essay, so I could well be wrong), I didn’t see Keira Knightley saying anything negative about Kate Middleton, rather criticizing the pressure on women to be picture perfect the moment after birth, as exemplified by Kate (because of the pressure…

I would be interested in reading the whole thing, because the quotes they have pulled seem quite angry and she is comparing her private experience to a photo op.

I’m of two minds about Kiera Knightley’s criticisms of Kate Middleton (the “this is weird” final bullet point). Knightley savages Middleton’s performance of giving birth — specifically, that mere hours after delivering a goddamn baby, Middleton was smiling for the cameras on the hospital’s front steps, hair blown out…
