I scrolled down hoping to find someone else petty enough to pick on her style choices.  You mentioned the earrings; I was hoping someone would say something snarky like “if that’s her daytime make-up, I wonder what her ‘date-night’ make-up looks like?” so that I could quietly give them a star.  As it is, I had to type…

That’s a dumb and annoying thing say, Gaga, especially repeatedly. I feel like the only time I hear from Madonna these days is when she’s complaining about shit. Team no one.

I thought she was really cool when I was in middle school. Now she’s just exhausting.

What I haven’t done is go on IG to take potshots at a younger and arguably more talented singer. If Madonna is so amazing, why isn’t she happy? She’s seems so bitter and miserable. Why is she worried about what another performer is doing and saying? You would think that someone so accomplished would be happy with her…

In the US she’s a C-lister. In India (and other countries where Bollywood is huge), she’s as A-list as it gets.

Those kinds of choreographed dance parties are VERYYYY common in Indian weddings. In the dozens of Indian weddings I’ve been to, I don’t know that there’s been one WITHOUT choreographed dances, regardless of how humble or ostentatious the wedding was. 

She’s an A-lister in India, which is where the wedding was, and which has a population 3 times that of the US. Their big stars are Much bigger than our big stars. 

In Indian weddings its common to have a Sangeet, which includes dances and performances from both families. It shouldnt be seen as an unusual inclusion

FYI the “elaborate, choreographed dance party” is part of a traditional Indian wedding. Weddings in India can be celebrated over the course of several days, and include a bunch of different events.

C-lister? Ha! In America, maybe. In Bollywood, she’s as big a star as they come. And this wedding took place in India, so it’s par for the course for Bollywood celebrity weddings.

Obviously not to this scale and cost but every Indian wedding I’ve been to has been pretty massive.

“Very few people are all good or all bad”

Oh, I mostly just meant in appearance!  Not saying anything about Kate or Samantha’s attitudes.  Though now that you mention Samantha’s hair bow that sounds familiar.  Honestly, I mostly remember a book about making ice cream.  I feel like a horrible person, lol.

Honestly the way that my aunt (dad’s brother’s wife) acts sometimes, I’m surprised my mom can still manage to be nice to her, especially after the time she accused my mom of “falling down on the job,” because she was answering a question my dad asked before she finished helping clear the dishes after Christmas Eve…

Um, Samantha may have had to dress like that because it was proper for girls at the time, but she hated it. Samantha was a total tomboy who’s hair bow was constantly untied and she kept ripping the knees out of her tights. You gotta read the books! She fought against child labor and for women’s right to vote! 

i think they only have to defer to him once he is king. i watched all of The Crown recently, and it wasn’t until Elizabeth was Queen that her sister had to curtsy and walk behind her. before that, when she was just the heir to the throne, they seemed to be normal sisters. same thing with Philip - didn’t have to do all…

That is exactly what I thought when looking at this photo.

You’re welcome! I, too, have had a Monday. Pretty sure this means we’re now required to be either best friends or mortal enemies.

*Sisters-in-law ... I only correct you because this is one of my favorite grammar rules, and one over which my husband and I bonded during our continued consultation of the Holt Handbook, while dating. It was like, “Secretaries general... let’s get married”

Since when is not being bff with your sister in law a problem?  They probably have zero in common.  As long as you can be civil, who cares?
