I don't think I have to imagine. It happened. My point is, the security did not prove effective in preventing the tragedy.

I was on my kids' school advisory council for a couple of years. Until last year, they had an open door policy- anybody at more or less any time could walk in, and as it was outside a bus station, a fair amount did, to use the bathrooms, etc. Last year that all changed, they installed a camera monitored by someone…

I agree with the general point: if there wasn't so much idiotic veneration of the Royals, none of this would have happened- the prank, or the suicide. You can't see someone committing suicide because they accidentally leaked info about an ordinary person. The starstruck adulation surrounding the royals family enabled…

I love the indigo colour. But the collar is not quite the same. Still- great price, seriously tempted...

Nice- I remember reading about "chiongsams" in "The World of Suzy Wong" - I didn't realize this is what they looked like- there was no google images back then!

I love those dresses with tall collars and deep cleavages (though perhaps not covered in shiny rough-looking gold scales)- I have yet to buy one- can anyone recommend a good cheapish one? They look so regal and classy! And I'm short- maybe they will make me look taller?

" Instead, I have a small circle of friends each of whom fill different roles in my life."

Not getting the outrage here. I am a parent myself- I don't see that I would be horrified if my daughter came home with this. Makes a change from bloody Battle of Britain or writing absolutely dreadful poetry for soldiers slain on flander's field on remembrance day. What are parents afraid of- that if their precious…

he is also left-handed, had pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast, and walked through a field of poppies two nights ago. Dear Watson, it's so obvious. Are you blind?

I always thought JLo was one of the most beautiful women in showbiz, with one of the most gorgeous bodies, but that photo makes her looks as if a beautiful doll's head is grafted onto a body which simply doesn't fit the head. If that makes sense.

You do realize a 45 yr old dude can still be quite "sexually active"? 45 is not 85! How old are you- 19?

I think you're supposed to read this piece with a knowing wink and ironic nod... Anyway jezebel's sub-title IS "Celebrity, Sex,whatever", not "rocket science, microbiology and ethics," so their approach perfectly legit.

She's making fun of their aristocratic entitlement and heritage. Pretty clear. She could have said "some of us had ancestors who were maid servants 150 yrs ago"- but she didn't , as a professional writer, she was going for maximum shock effect. Apparently it worked.

I can get behind most of the "Fuck you"s this week, but not this. And I'm a fast walker myself. But, if someone is walking slowly in front of me, it's pretty easy to walk round them. Also, there are times when we should slow down, breathe, look at shop windows, stop acting so goddamn busy. Are you Ban Ki-Moon or…

yeah- I was also thinking how unlike her normal stunningly gorgeous self she looks- can we dare say it? She actually looks UGLY! How is that possible?

brought up in a theocratic religious state, where women are forced to dress "modestly" or else they risk prosecution and corporal punishment at the hands of the state, I find the use of the word modesty in relation to women's wear stomach-churningly nauseating. Believe me, the sexualization of kids' wear is by far the…

carhartt. never heard of them before- and my first reaction was, what a stupid and pretentious name- sounds like diarrhea.

"One could craft a research paper about the differences between this catalog and J. Crew or LL Bean..."

We need somebody to blame in this horrible, horrible scenario, and I vote for blaming the institution of royalty. If they weren't surrounded with this ridiculous hyped up aura of sanctity and inviolability (in this day and age?) this poor woman probably wouldn't have felt she had committed such a dreadful faux pas as…

You can write a (preferably non-judgemental) article about the misty world of models/photographers/compensations etc.
