And wear it it indoors, even on days you don’t plan to go out! I recently learned this one. Apparently blue light off your phone/computer/tv can totally damage your skin. 

One of my hobbies during lockdown was deep-diving into the actual ingredients of luxury creams like La Mer—and then duplicating them. You want to make La Mer face cream? Seriously, get some classic Nivea creme (the kind in the blue tin made in Germany, trust me it’s better quality than US made), mix in some sea kelp…

This is what kills me about Nicole Kidman. She lies all the damn time about how she looks so incredible for her age, citing sunscreen + retinol + never smoking + eating healthy as the only tools in her arsenal. Like, sure, those things definitely hedge your bets against the visible effects of time but really?

Judging by her lack of any expression lines what-so-ever and her absolutely tight brows & forehead J.Lo is 100% lying about not having botox... to um... sell skincare?

I’d rather not—he’s done enough damage already :-/  I’m glad the Queen finally pulled him off public duties, but talk about too little too late.

Totally fair. I guess the question that always lingers for me is did Diana REALLY love Charles, and did that love REALLY endure throughout their many awful years together? As much as Diana painted herself as the lovelorn, wronged innocent, I doubt she entered that marriage in the glow of genuine love, but rather…

I claimed a free one month trial for The Telegraph just to see what the uber conservative rightwing Brits are all about, and the publication is obsessed with tearing down The Crown whenever they can. The reader comments are equally hateful, and almost always find a way to bring up Meghan and connect her with whatever…

Oh, I loved that scene too—it was the last episode of this season, when the family is gathered at Balmoral for Christmas, right before Phillip’s (eerily foreboding) scene with Diana. I love her dressing down of Charles, Olivia Coleman killed it.

Yes! The best characters IMO aren’t the most likable ones, but complicated, multi-layered messes. I think the actor who plays Charles is fantastic, and nails so many of his micro mannerisms it’s eerie. I read that the body movement coach for The Crown assigned each actor a specific animal to study, and the actor…

Totally agree with the first part (except Camilla refused to divorce her husband at the time...? Like, wouldn’t even hear of it?) but I do think Diana enjoyed the spotlight. She was a natural performer, which is fine, but definitely struggled to find the right platform. I still think her charisma was an asset,…

One of the things they don’t tell you about getting older is that you come to realize you are probably the villain in at least a few people’s stories, which in turn makes you reexamine your judgement about others. I’d like to think Charles, anyone, all of us, work with what we’re given, fuck up, and proceed from…

I was saying this to my husband the other day, how I couldn’t understand why Charles and Diana didn’t just come to ye age olde agreement of keeping their affairs as lowkey as possible, showing up together when they had to, treating each other with polite respect, and otherwise pursuing the kind of marriage even…

I mean, I can sort of get why people embraced Diana: she was young, white, lovely (I guess? I thought she was pretty but didn’t get the OMG SHE’S STUNNING), shy but had undeniable charisma, and married into a family that basically made her into a Cinderella story. She was definitely a showboater, but at least she did…

I think they’re shitty in that they were both born and raised in astonishing privilege and that tends to make people assholes by default, but they don’t at all strike me as the villains the media paints them to be. Life is messy, emotions can be messier, and when you’re dealing with inbred aristocrats clinging to…

I feel about Charles and Camilla the way I feel about any gossip concerning people I’ve had no interactions with and know very little about in a real way: only they know, the rest is speculation. They were clearly meant to be together, made mistakes along the way, and are now together. If you look at their respectable…

She wasn’t a virgin sacrifice to the narrative needs of the royal family and the tabloids.

There’s an old adage I’m badly botching that goes something like “public people are nightmares behind closed doors and private people are nightmares in public”

I can totally see her being sweet, innocuous Lizzie around town but an asshole when she shows up as her alter ego Lana. 

Per a friend of mine who worked on The Apprentice and saw Ivanka on the regular, that’s not her natural hair. She’s actually got her dad’s super-fine, visibly thinning mop and at the time wore a lot of extensions, which I’m sure she still does.

Also: dye your roots, girl. 

I think it’s always been evolving, but stops and starts or slows down and speeds up depending on the era. #metoo and its subsequent, ongoing movement feels like the first time in history where actual names are being named, and people are being dragged out into the open and their atrocities exposed. The secrecy is over.…

One of the talking heads on the news suggested that Trump could possibly use super sensitive information acquired during his presidency as leverage, and/or to get back at his enemies (also known as the American people because we were mean and he didn’t win derp-dee-doo). Do you think that’s a possibility? I hadn’t…
