Apparently there’s no holy boning going on.

I get your point but to be really pessimistic here, the gun laws aren’t getting any stricter, at least not in the near term (the time for that was after Sandy Hook and not even that did it). They may have decided to focus on prevention given that aiming at the gun laws themselves hasn’t worked. Sadly it’s probably a

That’s what I was expecting too when I first saw it and it was a relief that that isn’t where they went.

I think there’s a market for it. That’s sort of the Theory, Helmut Lang sweet spot (or Rag & Bone, Alexander Wang, etc., as kitteneye noted). The thing with Goopy though is that she seems more aspirational: If she’s someone you look up to, you probably don’t have the money for her clothes. If you do have the money for

The saddest thing about Hiddleswift is not that it happened but that it happened and some people, including commenters on this very site, I might add, thought it was a real relationship. I made the mistake once of calling it what it was and all hell came down.

I would like to know why he thinks he’s going to win when pretty much every Emmy pundit has it between Courtney B. Vance and Bryan Cranston. But sure Tom! (If he does win, forget I wrote this.)

I do really like Hiddleston but what the actual fuck is he thinking with this? I know he wants the Bond role but is this the way to get it?

I dunno, what I’ve read about Glass’ real encounter makes it seem pretty rough. The cuts on his back were down to the rib, he exposed himself to maggots to avoid gangrene and the natives he encountered actually sewed the goddamn bear hide to his back, a detail not included in the film and somehow more hardcore.

This speaks to me. I went to Neiman Marcus a few weeks ago to browse and I could not shake the “you don’t belong here” feeling. I dunno if the shopkeepers were sending bad vibes my way or if I was just self-conscious. And it was stupid because I could afford nearly anything in there if I wanted to spend the money

That’s what I want to know! It seems like the people who could actually afford it would be buying their goods right from the designer, a high-end department store or private sales or something. Meanwhile the people who would actually see Gwyneth as aspirational probably couldn’t afford it. It seems like there would be

And that’s the problem (problem might not be the correct word, but yeah) with not going for labels. The truly iconic designers all have calling cards, so if you know the designer, you can tell it’s their bag just by looking at it. Think Bottega’s cross-hatch thing, McQueen’s skulls, Dior’s saddle bag shape,

They are. I despise the LV logo bags. I don’t know if it’s because I’m pretty sure 75% of them are knock-offs (I made that number up) or what, but I would never buy one even if I could afford it. They should take a cue from Burberry, who really cut back on the check design in the late 2000s once every chav in Britain

“Afraid of deep things” has to be the new “allergic to crunchy,” right?

Thank you for reminding me that chestnut praline lattes exist. Sincerely.

I have a possibly haunted dorm story.

I’m ... pretty sure Benghazi occurred in September 2012, so fairly soon before the election.

Well yeah, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we have the cattle car A and the Alexandria A. Foreshadowing, foils, whatever, they’re linked somehow.

THANK YOU. I completely forgot the stamp thing (didn’t rewatch last season before this one started). And yeah I have to think there’s some ominous parallel there.

Did anyone else notice the letter “A” written on the steps at the end of the episode, when Carol is sitting down after it’s all over? It seemed like a callback to Terminus, but I haven’t seen it acknowledged anywhere, so I need to convince myself that I’m not crazy and that it really did exist.
