My new downstairs neighbor has been pretty cool so far (about 4 weeks now.) I repaired her laptop, and she helped me move my Mom’s old (urine stinking, destroyed) chair out from her assisted living unit and replace it with a new one.

Thank you for the inspiration!! I’m so glad you got out of that situation.

Someone out there might need to hear this, so I’ll share!

Trying to enjoy the first England-based test match of the season (against the Kiwis) but between somehow getting sunburnt under rather gloomy weather, our terrible batting performance, and the fact our new star bowler has a nasty history of making extremely racist and misogynistic statements on twitter it’s not going…

That place looks cozy and adorable. Can we start a Jezebel commune?

It took basically all week but I repainted my front door. I think the pictures are gonna get kinja’d

I’ve got a vision of the dress kicking out one of the glass panels nightly, gathering up its train, and stalking out in search of Charles.  Then as the sun comes up, hopping back into the case, arranging the train, and pulling the glass panel back up.

I posted this on the review of the movie, but I am still hung up on her character getting ginormous bleeding blisters. It’s when she & the kid go back to the tower. She takes off her hiking boots and then wool socks. Those are so bloody they stick to her skin from all the raw blisters she’s sporting after hiking a…

Laura Ashley on speed! I was a teenager in the 80's and this dress was awful to me then... also, I was SUPER creeped out by their age difference and all the attention paid to her virginity. Gross.

Charles' cowardice.

What are those sleeves stuffed with to keep them puffed? Is it itchy? I’ll bet that dress was super itchy, as well as fugly.

I beg to disagree. I was also a teenager at the time, and the love for that dress was by no means universal. I hated the dress, big time, and a lot of people did. Yes, some people adored it, and my closest friend (I didn’t know her then, but we talk about it now) loved that dress and had her engagement ring modelled…

Is it Haunted?

The frenzy over the Royal Wedding and what the dress would look like is difficult to describe in modern terms. I was the same age as Diana, and remember walking along a high street in Toronto just before six pm on the big day, and came across a shop with television in the window. The coach was arriving, and me and a…

I agree wholeheartedly. I watched that damn wedding—got up at something like 4:00 in the morning to watch it because I was sleeping over at the house of a friend who was a major fan of the royal family. And my friend and I almost fought over how ugly I thought that damn dress was. Ugly frilly monument to excess, and…

That dress is, hands down, the ugliest wedding dress I’ve seen, and I used to watch Say Yes to the Dress. Everything about it, to my eye, is off - the sleeves, the neckline, the waistline, the girth of the skirt, and the train. I hate it, and I will not be deterred in my hatred. 

This movie seemed like it was written by AI and not actual humans. Or aliens. Kind of like Mare of Eastown. The fact that there were TWO separate scenes where lightning like tried to ATTACK Angelina Jolie was insane. There was one point where she and the kid were running across this field dodging lightning bolts, and…

I watched a video of a woman who wore 18th century dress for a year and she discussed how great it was for her body image. You don’t change your body to fit the clothes, you add padding or the support you needed to fit the style of the clothes.

And in many cases they still are functional options. Spanx and whatnot are sad, sausage casing attempts to modernize foundation garments.

Salute Paxton Smith! No doubt she will go on making this world a better place. Story leads me to thinking about my ex-wife. She was a wild one in her youth and had her 1st child at 15. During our marriage she became an Evangelical and the Stepford in her became overwhelming. I used to wonder if due to her past and her…
