That campaign where coke had names (human names) on the bottles instead of Coca-Cola was surprisingly charming. A friend took a shot of a bunch of "Cynthia" bottles and suggested that Coke change it's name to Cynthia full time. That's probably the solution.

HOW are those tiara blogs so fascinating? guilty pleasure #1.

Oh really? I thought they were only married for the last few years. Ha ha.

I still feel like I've discovered something obscure because I never would have thought to listen to it if a friend didn't force it upon me so I'm gonna push it all on you but: Lana Del Rey's new album is sublime. She has really found her voice. She was shitty when she came out, and has talked about having worked hard…

1 - Have you noticed that a shit ton of the men you meet in your every day life are bald? It's not uncommon

They're celebrities. That's it, really. Nobody really cares much about any other European royal family (only a tiny bit about the Monaco bunch because of their dramz in recent years and also Grace Kelly duh,) because they haven't been branding themselves as celebrities for a century.

It's odd how trenchantly the constant discussion of her beauty underlines (to me, at least) our weirdly specific idea of beauty in our celebrity-worshipping age. She is said to be beautiful, but somehow not stunningly gorgeous because she doesn't really have that glowing-from-within smile that plays so well on photo…

Except in the (rare) event that they are a girl and a boy and the girl is firstborn. If it's two girls, two boys, or a boy then a girl, then the firstborn gets it.

His sisters were immensely glam in their day. I saw an 80s interview with Princess Caroline and Barbara Walters and she was unbelievably princess-like. 110% more princessy than Princess Di. And now she's married to the Catholic Stuart-line heir to the UK throne, I may add.

Damn straight. I'd rather be that kid than Charlene's kid any goddamn day of the week.

Point me to a woman who hasn't internalized any notion of patriarchal gender construction.

Actually it is a hot button issue in the museum world right now! Lots of lots (don't ask me to name any of them) museums are currently changing that rule.

I was just thinking about it last night and what a good decision I think it is, because there are basically two ways to view paintings - in a photograph and in the…

Not that I really dig the idea, but surely they can be arrested for disturbing the peace or some such? Purposely going around nightly with the purpose of freaking loads of people out kinda sucks.

Um um facebook just placed a huge sponsored ad for exactly that model of scraper on my newsfeed. That's a bit alarming.

I note that you're comparing to gay and lesbian people, but not trans folks as I had (I would never claim that bi people face less shit than G or L folks do.) However, you do not find yourself dehumanized every time you have to fill out a routine form and there literally is not an option to legitimize your personhood…

You can legitimately feel left out of that, because your your rights as a bisexual person are not at all infringed upon and marginalized on a routine basis as trans peoples are. Acceptance and normalized visibility of bisexuality has a long way to go, as I expect this organization is aware, but tagging that into the…

I'm also quite sure I read about it being sold this past year, and it was an original (i.e not created by this guy for the show.)

I read an article about Princess M which detailed how she referred to this tiara as "me second-best tarara." She sounds fun.

THIS! I had one in my kitchen (from an old room mate) for over a year before I realized what it WAS. It's for cleaning the iron pans which you aren't ever supposed to use steel wool or even soap on. Up until then, I had to reseason my pans every few weeks because they would get so fucked up, now they remain delicious…

Well, that's okay, and I understand your point and basic frustration. Still, I do feel it's valid and possible to refer to Europe as a unit in a way that isn't totally homogenizing, and that few who do so would be unaware that Europe is a continent and not a nation.
