I shall be non-cynical for two seconds here and say that Garner and Affleck loved each other enough to get married and are both devastated at having to remove their rings. He has been looking particularly dour lately, but it’s probably hard to take them off.

In the book, the shoes are silver. And yes, the entire book is written as an allegory on the debate between the silver and gold standards for currency that was taking place at the time that Frank L. Baum wrote it. The Emerald City is Washington, the Wizard is a stand-in for deceptive politicians, and the inhabitants…

i am waiting for that coverage

Oh look, Courtney Stodden went to Comic Con.

Jennie Garth looks great and I’m happy for her (like she’d care?). I’m not sure how I feel about the tattoos (her first) that she got to commemorate the occasion.

new reality TV show: Bible according to Kardashains

With fame, beauty, and money comes the sad fact that sad sack fucks will obsess about what jewelry you are or aren't wearing.

its all part of transformation into real Batman

Sam Heughan dressed as Colin O’Donoghue...there’s a man sandwich I’d like to get in.

Isn’t it a “big knuckle” thing? :)

I’m guessing that in an act of prescience Jennifer had Ben’s soldered on?

They weren’t red in the book. I read it around the same time as the movie aired on tv and noticed that fact. A documentary I saw much later mentioned that the slippers were made red to show off the new technicolor effects the studio had- that’s also why they had the movie go from b&w to vivid color after Dorothy lands…

Inheritance is a dangerous thing, because it…

That’s healthy, need to have a clear discussion and clear agreement of what needs to happen. With consequences.

Definitely. While I love my family, if they turn on me (by using and stealing), they’re no longer acting like family should, and that changes the dynamic.

Kids? Our entire economic system is based around the idea that some people are better than other people, and that it’s okay for people to be poor and sick and hungry because they deserve it.

And that isn’t limited to the USA, that covers just about the entire world. When we successfully rationalise people as less than…

Yes, Glinda gave them to her after she got to Munchkinland. The wicked witch of the west had tried to yoink them from her dead sister, but they sparked the shit out of her hands and she couldn't take them.

Someone may have a better answer than me but I think Dorothy’s house landed on the Wicked Witch of the West after being picked up in Kansas by the tornado.That witch was wearing the Ruby Slippers and Dorothy got them (from the grateful Munchkins?). I also dimly recall that seeing her relatives slippers on Dorothy is…

But do you forgive?

I’ll throw some glitter on a heel for a million dollars. Then donate it to homeless cats.
