Smoking is gross. Indoor smoking is even more gross. Indoor smoking that ruins original art pieces and haute couture gowns people spent months making for these idiots is reprehensible.
I believe Philippa Gregory started that rumor/theory.
Wasn’t Philippa Langley’s entire crusade to find King Richard in the first place to prove one and for all that Shakespeare’s depiction of him as a grotesque hunchback was nothing more than slander?
She’s got denial of reality down to a fine art...
I also read The Sunne in Splendor and its one of my favorite books.
Okay, I’m just going to say this: Richard III is definitely the most likely suspect in the disappearance/murder of his nephews. People have been throwing around crazy theories like Margaret Beaufort for the last few decades which doesn’t make any damn sense. 1) She had very limited opportunity what with being watched.…
The website for the Richard III Society has a whole page devoted to this. It makes sure to mention that scoliosis affects 3-4 in every 1000 British people. They also point out that Usain Bolt has scoliosis, and I honestly can’t think of anything more ridiculous than comparing Richard III to an 8 time Olympic gold…
He definitely was maligned. The Tudors were the most efficient propagandists of their time and most times.
That’s a great point! The first Rebellion had little to do with the War of the Roses. He probably WAS maligned by Tudor propaganda, that was a very important part of securing legitimacy after the official end of the Plantagenet Dynasty- marriage alone probably wasn’t enough. But, at most, that would’ve been just…
Oh man, THIS lady. If you watch the documentary of the excavation she is WAY too invested in his legacy. She was completely convinced that he was a good king who was the victim of vicious post-rein character assasination. When they confirmed that he had a curved spine she cried, because she had adamantly maintained…
I had this idea to do a super stylized version of Henry VII with an all black cast. Idris elba as Henry, Viola Davis as Kathrine of Aragon, Nicole Beharie as Anne Boleyn. And instead of setting it in england it would be staged in Jamaica, or Martinique. Somewhere with a lush tropical setting. A guy I talked to said…
I really don’t get the Richard III society. When I saw them crying as his hearse passed during the internment, I was like “I’ve never felt that passionately about any historical figure, especially one who most likely did all the awful things he was accused of...”
I’m sure I’m going to see about a thousand internet comments about this along the lines of ‘In my day singers sang bleeding from stab wounds in the rain! Millennials are awful!!!!!’ But the fact of the matter is with record sales basically non-existant due to the internet the music industry is pushing for more and…
She utterly destroyed Ted Cruz, which was satisfying to watch. Evidently Harvard Law and Princeton can’t teach their students common sense.
She kicked Cruz’s ass when he tried to do the classic Republican deflect onto “But Hillary’s emails!” and schooled him on the Constitution. Then he slunk away in shame.
And he still can’t keep Obama’s name out of his goddamn fucking mouth.
Spoken like a person who appreciates the dues paid, the heartfelt music therefrom, and the good old towns that spawn it all.
I hope they sue all those models too. I want all these POS to be made responsible for this, especially that little fratboy who orchestrated the whole thing. I don’t care if he scammed rich kids, he scammed people in the end. Finish him. It’s not like some random Instagram models were advertising the festival. It was…
