I've been using Rapid Brow for exactly 25 days (I marked it on my calendar so I could see if it was working) and I've been travelling and not thinking about it but the other day I noticed that I really need to pluck my eyebrows — I haven't plucked my eyebrows for about a decade, because there's nothing to pluck, but…

I'm kind of intrigued to see it, after I feel like I've heard about it a dozen times recently. Perhaps it'll be shown here in a while.

Yes, yes, yes. When I put my lipstick on (which isn't often), people notice. I wear Ruby Woo or Lady Danger — they are incredible.

Yep. I got my two lipsticks (I was never a lipstick person, and even now I am I only have two colours) by a) borrowing a friend's and falling in love with it while drunk and on painkillers and b) getting the same brand but matching the colour to a necklace I had BUT for powder and pencils I went to Mac counters and…

I'm also totally pale (my Mac powder is the most ridiculously white substance I've ever seen in a make-up shop) and thought I would never want to wear strong colours… and then once night while drunk and in Spain I tried my friend's Mac Ruby Woo and found out that I love it. It's CRAZY bold, and I have to be in a bold…

Ruby Woo is definitely a blue-based strong red; I have that one for my blue-based red and Lady Danger for my orange-based red (which is far, far orange-ier than Russian Red, so beware if that's not for you). I love them both. I was never a lipstick person at all until a friend let me try her Ruby Woo once while we…

You're a genius and I love you (but possibly not quite as much as I love my husband who does the bad-joke-and-sunglasses thing for me in real life ALL THE TIME, hence the marrying).

I have no connection to Ohio at all, but YES. This post is disgusting; a crime doesn't make a city a wretched place we should wipe off the map, for the love of God.

Yep, but they're waaaaaaaaay lower in line.

Not really; they can use "Windsor" for their last name if they like, I think, but generally royals just don't have surnames. (Princes W & H used "Wales", I think.)

My flatmate's mum once presented her with a lifesize cutout of Marylin Monroe as a Christmas present, in relation to… absolutely nothing at all. She just thought that her daughter would like it. She didn't, but she felt a weird guilt about hiding it and therefore INSISTED WE DISPLAY IT PROMINENTLY IN OUR OTHERWISE…

THANK YOU. I have never heard of it anywhere but Jezebel, and I seem to hear about it constantly here.

Very true. My friend's mum needed a blood transfusion when he was born, and the blood she was given was infected — her husband totally abandoned her and the child because of her illness and sent her back to England to die. Hardly anyone would visit her. The stigma of it still shocks me. (My mum used to take us over to…

We were recently in the very tiresome situation of really, totally needing towels/dishes/money/everything but I really didn't want to have a registry because asking for anything does seem incredibly tacky to me, like "come to my party but bring me something pricey"; we debated it a lot because I was really against it,…

Oh, totally! I think in the case of my editorial department, there aren't limitations in what we're "allowed" to say, but we definitely impose the limitation of not being boring on ourselves, just because we take delight in the creativity.

Right, but I was wondering if perhaps they were all freelance these days. I'm intrigued to know if town criers are usually staff or contractors. The some other town in the southeast of England you mentioned is half an hour from where I'm from, so it's interesting to me.

Are there non-freelance criers? Like, is it a staff position in some towns? I suppose so (and definitely traditionally). I can't imagine it's a full-time role anywhere anymore, though!

I've never heard of their being a crier for the palace so I would've been bewildered if I'd seen that on the news. How odd.

I would've thought it's already been quite popular for a while, actually. It's definitely one I've been hearing lots of babies are getting named in the last few years.

I've heard of lots of babies named George in the past few years, and I'm sure they were mostly fairly cute. It doesn't strike me as an unusual name at all — it seems to have been really popular for a while.
