I saw this! It aired in the UK earlier this year. Maggie Smith tells a hilarious story about Olivier and Plowright’s child hiding the key to Olivier’s liquor cabinet. And Dench has a great story about a young ambulance driver who attended to her a couple of years ago.

I love when old people cuss and get all drunk and just start talking crap, in general. And then it’s these women with their fabulous accents?! And you know they may usually be polite and proper, but they just shed that and start getting real. Love it! This is genius. Cannot wait.

I adore each of these women! I predict that I will watch this documentary many, many, many times.

GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will note she would look KILLER in a white tutu. But then, she looks good in everything, especially when she’s on the court. They could put her in a potato sack and she would be the most stylish potato sack wearer in the joint.

This essay should be FAR more widely read:

I used to like Michael Ian Black but I find his “I’m not saying I forgive Louis CK, I’m just saying we need to figure out a way we can forgive Louis CK” discussions to be very exhausting.

Melanie has a lot to learn sartorially speaking.

I already commented on Bobby’s post but I’m so mad I’m here too, lol. The concept of the pink tax, where the wage gape widens because of price discrimination and additional costs of living for women, really should include bills for the therapy we are far more likely to need, after being far more likely to experience…

And a sleeveless dress.

Also - if you’ll just step into the Way Back Machine for a moment - Jackie Kennedy used to get crap for wearing European designers.

Remember when Michelle was castigated for wearing $200 sneaks?

I love the gardens around the Queen’s hamlet at Versailles. I don’t know why I loved them so much, but they were fascinating to me. 

At least Marie Antoinette had special dairy maid costumes when she went slumming in the fake dairy farm she had build on the grounds of Versailles. Yes, the plain muslin costumes cost more than the average salary of a French peasant, but at least they matched the setting.  Melania has a lot to learn sartorially…

My guess is that Melania doesn’t care about trolling anyone, she just doesn’t want to dress like a farmer. I can even picture some of the not entirely stupid people in the White House (I assume there’s one or two? Maybe??) begging her not to wear this insanely expensive shit and she’s just ignoring them because she…
