She dresses like a Dynasty themed Barbie. The only time I like LVP’s fashion choices is when she’s in white tee and jeans mode.

All the RHOBH storylines and moments that have had Lisa’s manipulative fingerprints all over them —Munchausengate, Puppygate, etc— have been among the show’s most tedious. And all of the most legendary explosive moments —dinner party from hell, the Richards sisters limo fight, game night, poker night, Rinna vs. Kim—…

Jeff was looking for that mafia money. Because mafia women are known for their love of hitchhiking and thrift store luggage.

Sansa’s like Olivia Pope, quietly running the show while some mediocre white dude gets all the glory.

Is that exactly what I said?

It doesn’t have to be conscious for it to be racist. That’s how most racism works.

I would’ve definitely loved to have friends like them at that age, that’s for sure. 

He had prophetic dreams predicting both Ned’s death, Theon’s sack of Winterfell, and the Three Eyed Raven. There’s been plenty to indicate that he possesses the power of foresight, albeit imperfectly.

I’d still counter that it’s healthier and potentially more inspiring to be envious of an artist’s genuine talent than to covet the facade of perfection, wealth, and consumption promoted by most influencers.

I’m not making this up as I go along. It’s canon for both the book and the show.

Unfortunately, not everyone is fortunate to have people like in their lives. I don’t think it counts as a failing if people look beyond their immediate environment for inspiration.

I mean, that’s the narrative we’ve been fed, right? Charles is the villain, and Diana’s his victim, to the extent that even less favorable truths about Diana are dismissed as slander and sleight of hand machinated by the Crown. The honest picture of a marriage will almost always be messier and more balanced than that. 

I genuinely figured that Pattison and Stewart never actually dated and only feigned a relationship because it was better PR for the Twilight series than saying she was shacked up with a much older director.

Oh, no no! Diana had a half dozen known extramarital lovers, long before Charles’ infidelity was public knowledge. She discovered the affair during the engagement —she found a bracelet in a gift box which was intended for Camilla, and Camilla (brazenly? tackily? shockingly?*) invited her over one afternoon for tea and…

I’m an old, so I shelled out for the paperbacks because I like smelling pages, and underlining favorite passages, and and watching the spines and covers grow worn out from love and rereads.

In Paris! In the 70s!

Lol I thought you said “army of 8” which is not far from accurate.

Most people would have better self esteem if they followed artists, designers, creators, and various business owners in lieu of “influencers.”

But what I’m saying is that it’s not a strategy we’ve seen before due the reasons I’ve already outlined. Even if it had been done before, it’s never once resulted in the cavalry’s utter slaughter, which still puts it under the Operation Get Behind Darkie (aka final scene of Glory) trope. The Dothraki deserved better.

It’s so good! I recommended it a friend who wanted a smart but dishy vacation read, and she loved it. The follow up book, Sex with the Queen, is equally worthwhile.
