If my costume history classes serve me correctly, I believe that coutil is the fabric that you would make corsets out of. I believe it's much sturdier and holds better than a starched cotton or something like that. I've always found women's fashion before the 20th century so fascinating! And having spent some time…

I haven't seen the episode (not sure if I will now), but I feel like HBO and GRR kind of go hand in hand. I often felt that the books were too highly sexualized at times. But then again I'm kind of grossed out by the dude, so thinking of him writing the words "moon blood" and "blood and seed" just made my stomach…

I'm such an Anglophile. I'll probably alternate between "Monarchy" and whatever British crime series I feel like at the moment. I CAN'T WAIT!

I love that Kate is clearly trying hard to pay attention to what the zoo dude is saying but she really just wants to check on her son. She seems like such a good mama.

They really do look like a normal, happy, loving family. I mean, aside from all the obvious imperialistic nonsense. But that photo of Will kissing George's head is a like a goddamn ovary explosion.

I love that series!! I get the house to myself for a 4 day weekend next month and I'm already planning on indulging in it while I eat scones and clotted cream. It's going to be amazing!

Replace black cat with brown/black dog and we apparently live the same life. I have one wrap dress that I got at the Gap on clearance years ago and must wear a shirt underneath it every time. I am would consider myself average in the boob department. I also constantly live in fear of the dress coming untied. It…

This is disgusting. I celebrate Easter because my poor Catholic mother would die if I didn't eat ham and hard boiled eggs with her. And I'm all for a small sugary treat on such a day, although my family prefers a lamb shaped cake topped with icing. This is just an abomination!

Conspiracy!

Yes to this! I'm down to just one elderly little lady now, as her companion passed away a few years ago. I actually didn't think she would make it this many years past him, but she has. If you don't mind another bunny PSA, I do just want to point out to those who consider adopting a bunny that feeding it those store…

I have a bunny and a dog and they get along just fine. Granted I never leave them alone unsupervised. But when she is out of her cage I put a gate up so the dog can't get to her. I'd like to think that he knows better than to eat her, but that's probably not true. She really doesn't give a shit about him though…

This is my life, except before we even fall asleep! My boyfriend has to climb over me to get in to bed since the dog plops down right in the middle and somehow grows to three times his size around 11pm. We then struggle for 20 minutes to find enough blanket coverage for both of us only to have the dog move to right…

That was my first thought! Do these couples have perfectly in sync body temps? After about ten minutes of snuggling I'm like, "ok, I'm hot, roll over." And depending on where the dog ends up, it's a damn oven under the covers. Also, how else am I supposed to know if he's in the mood if we're always snuggling? We…

I audibly gasp when I look at pictures from my youth when my hair was a different color each year. I stopped coloring my hair years ago, but I still struggle with the limpness. I'm at that point where I need to fight the urge to cut it and just let it grow. We'll see what happens!

All are welcome on the canine menagerie! And since my background is in theatre I'm now trying to think of a creative pun for Glass Menagerie to call the farm.

Oh, I have friends like this and they drive me bonkers! And the only reason I even know they get haircuts is because they also added ten kinds of highlights. I haven't cut my hair since 2012 and it currently falls just past my shoulders. The last cut I got was ear length. My hair takes FOREVER to grow, so I usually…

It's stories like this that make me regret growing up in a midwestern city. I have no survival skills whatsoever (unless you count getting homeless dudes to buy you alcohol). I'm working on changing that now that I'm older and have the resources to travel and learn more about the "wild."

I also graduated in 2000 and we never had that bs. But then again, I went to an all-girls school and prom dates usually ranked somewhere after the dress, shoes, hair, and nails. "Oh shit, prom is next weekend. Hey, what is your brother doing?" I remember on my junior prom night we were all getting ready and…

I would have moved to a frozen tundra after the first bite. But then again I'm a goddamn sissy when it comes to anything that can move across the ground without legs. You are a brave soul.

No no no no no no no. NO! I knew I hated that movie as a kid and I could never remember why (despite the obvious) and you just reminded me. I HATE snakes. Hate hate hate hate. For no reason other than they are creepy as hell and my brother's pet snake got loose when we were kids and ended up in my shoe. I found a…
