Apparently it’s got the same plot as Sarah A. Denzil’s Saving April published 1.5yrs before The Woman In The Window: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/14/books/dan-mallory-woman-window-denzil.html

Interesting how Ms Haley appears to equate the value of something with the price tag being attached to it. By that logic you can slap the price tag of, say, a brand new top-of-the-range Bentley onto any rust bucket of a car and call it a Bentley because of said price tag.

If the Eastern-German mood/interior struck you, “Goodbye Lenin!” probably did it better.

Wow.

This...

Yup - I also remember violent robbers targeting celebrity homes in the UK after they were featured on MTV Cribs...

Exactly! His choice of language suggests these women are imagining things and as such implies he’s the victim in all this, and that the latter is what saddens him. 

Definitely adopt the metric system, it will make life so much easier. And add some variety to your children’s ‘British’ accents by introducing them to Balamory and Rastamouse.

1. Any apology followed by “but” is not an apology.

Personally I think that’s a good trait! One of my first ever roommates had this: she could bring up subjects or events (either from last week or years ago) and her face would light up whenever she talked about them. I loved it. And once I noticed it in her, I started spotting it in other people. It’s still one of my…

Too soon to say “I believe her”? Because I believe her.

Every “famous person seeks treatment for mental health issues” leaves me feeling double.

Artists today aren’t pining to be lascivious, slick and shirtless sex symbols like their music forebears.

This isn’t just any manufactured BS, this is hypermanufactured BS and I’m not sure why we’re supposed to be so positive about it.

Supposedly these acts are subject to military drill style training and conditioning, but if this sterile, dispassionate fakery is the outcome of that... yikes. It’s just not very good, is…

I’m not sure what to think about terms like ‘Girlboss’. On the one hand I see women referred to as actors rather than actresses, on the other hand I see neologisms like ‘Girlboss’ and ‘Mompreneur’... and I don’t know what to think of either.

Ah, right, in that way; yes, good point... bit like Heidi Klum at the Grammys: I’m sure they’re all lovely people but I’m not quite sure what they’re doing at these events, other than use the red carpet as a catwalk.

Do you reckon they get paid for their appearances (and if so by whom? event organisers? designers…

Here I was thinking “Galentine’s” was some stupidly tone-deaf campaign by marketers who think feminism equals misandry, and then I saw that it’s actually catching on with quite a few females on social media, so maybe I’m wrong here... but no, thanks, I’ll pass.

In what way do you mean? I don’t know Camilla Belle but Alexa Chung is a model turned TV-presenter and fashion designer.

Do the organisers of these award ceremonies make special seating arrangements to allow for wide sleeves, long trains and the like? Or do some of these stars have a wardrobe change between red carpet and sitting down to attend the ceremony?
