Good God. The bottom line here is that two little girls were forced by their father (maybe not physically, but certainly degraded and coerced into going along with it) to take nude photos.

She was certainly cute, but frankly, I think she ROCKS the short brown hair like no one's business.

@tailfeather: Well, let's just say that in the 10 years since this experience, she's not gotten any better, and in fact, has been quite rude to my mom, too. To the point where my laid-back, say-only-nice-things-about-people father has simply said, "She's a bitch."

A slightly different kind of gift, but I think this story kind of applies.

@cicatricella: They WENT THROUGH YOUR FRIDGE?!

@lunacydress: HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS TUMBLR?!

@kad9k: I need to see that again—I was thinking about it recently!

@Logan1418: These are the ladies we need to be celebrating—too many kids are learning that you can be "famous" for getting drunk off your rocker and making an ass of yourself (not just because of Lindsay, but reality TV, too). Meanwhile, we've got the Zoes and Dakotas of the world who don't get held up enough.

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe...

@LauToThouPow: London Spirit, California Girl. That's how I roll. : P

@haguenite: Days like 7/7 and 9/11, and all the other horrible things that happen, show the absolute worst of humankind in all it's ugly glory.

@ekaterinaballerina: I think they honestly believed in the first few minutes that it was a power surge, but it quickly became apparent that it was so much worse than that. There was a lot of confusion.

@LauToThouPow: A few weeks after this, I was back on the Tube (I lived in Essex, so I wasn't in London all the tiem). My parents (back in California) knew I was going into London for the day and were terrified. I just told them, "I'm not about to let the terrorists destroy my love for and enjoyment of London!"

@Cactus: I remember that—all the doctors went running out to help.

I was living and teaching in Essex when this happened—it actually seemed closer to home and more real to me than 9/11 did, because I was just an hour away from it by train (in the US, I live in California). One of the bombs went off near Liverpool Street Station, which is where I took trains in and out of London all…

@happysquid:

@queenofcarrotflowers: Not at all...I was thinking the same. I'm actually more amused by the clumsy antics of the five-week-old kittens I'm currently fostering (seriously, there is nothing graceful about them yet!) than this.

@rollsnideroll: I was JUST thinking, "Jeez, wonder if I would get in trouble if I posted, 'Eek! Horrid shoes!!'"

I always felt terrible that people maligned her looks when her dad was in the White House. She was at the most awkward stage of her life and assholes wouldn't leave her alone.

@Tippi Hedren: I just watched him in "Stop-Loss" on the weekend, and boy is hot, hot, sizzling HOT.
