Could be! I was thinking that perhaps cotton was more readily available in the UK than fancier fabrics, in 1949...

Thanks, I’ll look into it! I’ve had luck with the Ordinary’s niacinamide and salicylic acids, but that’s all I’ve tried so far.

Okay, do Vitamin C serums actually work? I tried Ole Henriksen’s Truth Serum for a while and like it, but also didn’t notice an enormous difference in my face. I read somewhere that Vitamin C is so volatile that the actual amount of Vitamin C in any given serum is likely to be quite low. Do they work for other people?…

Ugh, that is AWFUL.

Christ, what an asshole.

Britney appears to be working out in a belly chain.

Admittedly, I am an old..... but has Kanye produced any new music in the last couple of years? I guess there was “The Life of Pablo”, but that seems to have stalled out.

I thought his name looked familiar, so I looked him up; yup, he’s the son of Arthur Ravenel, Jr., after whom the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston is named. Among other things, his father:

I appreciate what you’re saying, but my dad was also a tenured college professor. He published two books and had finished the manuscript for a third. He absolutely knew that smoking was bad for his health. He worked in factories while he was in school and clawed his way into solidly middle-class status and had tons…

I find this fascinating, but she completely loses me on smoking. (She talked about this in more detail in Slate: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/04/barbara-ehrenreich-says-smoking-bans-are-a-war-on-the-working-class.html) My dad started smoking as a working-class teenager. He died a torturous death at 55 of…

I just read through her whole set and thought it was amazing. Everyone claiming that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was mortally insulted is a) humorless, b) complicit, or c) both.

The Daily Beast allegedly found her and asked for comment. She declined.

I fell down a Wikipedia hole after his arrest and read up on a bunch of serial killers. (Its a hobby, I guess?) The one unifying factor (beside them all being dudes, obvs.) were seriously fucked up relationships with their mothers.

OMG, WTF? Why not just send them home in a pink hat if it’s so important that everyone know you had a girl???

Kanye West is the perfect example of how having enormous skill and talent in one arena — say, music — may not translate into other parts of a person’s life.

Wait, did the HOSPITAL glue a bow to your newborn head??? My God.

Once again, I find Michael Avenatti unsettlingly attractive. I can’t tell if it’s his snazzy dressing, his fuzzy close-cropped head, or that I desperately want to believe everything he says.

That’s fascinating — thanks for sharing!

Was that red-and-white cotton dress really worn as an “evening dress
in 1949 by Princess Margaret? I’m wondering the caption is wrong — it’s so different from the other gown in the picture — high neckline, long sleeves, and floor-length. And cotton’s not routinely an “evening” fabric. It looks like a Victorian day…

WTF, Tennessee.
