Honestly, it’s a miracle Anderson Cooper turned out as levelheaded and “normal” as he did. Not only did he have to contend with his father’s early death and his brother’s suicide, but his mother is not only an heiress but she’s distinctively “eccentric” as is the nice term for rich people who are just absolutely…

I really want to just sit with her and gab over drinks.  She has to have the best stories!

I work in junkets and have to echo that she is just as friendly and funny when the cameras aren’t rolling.  So professional and kind, just an absolute delight.  

When will animal planet start airing the pet gala, like they do with the puppy bowl?!

Goddamn now I want is a dogs-only Met Gala.

oh he’s dead, its just that hell rejected him so he’s got to carry on walking around like a mummified toad

Make them functional urinals and I’m in.

What a moran.

They are also great as a gentle way to attach plants to stakes!

Yes- but did you ever clip your lips?? That’s true nostalgia right there 

These were ugly then and they’re ugly now (speaking as someone who had a massive collection when I was a clueless teen with terrible style. My favorites were a black one with rainbow sparkles and a clear one with 60s-esque neon happy face daisies.)

Do not like. I prefer Elder Millennial.

Every single person I know who uses these clips does this. It’s also very useful for amusing young children by whisper-yelling “the claaaawwwwwwwww” as you chop it up and down on yourself or in their general direction.

As strong as making a staple remover into a little snake head. 

The large clips were always an absolute fail for me because I have thick, long hair. However, they do make decent chip clips and cord keepers.

My first claw clip was a 1985 neon green one. I had to regularly soak it in hot water and sometimes use nail polish remover to remove the layers of Rave hair spray from it.

It is medically impossible to resist that temptation.

If I was a kid growing up in these two last shitty ass years, I might also pretend I was an animal as some sort of escapism. Does anyone remember the old episode of What Not to Wear with the lady who walked around wearing a raccoon tail? I think she said it was a good quirky conversation starter.

“The only way to stop a bad guy with cat ears...is to make them watch the movie Cats.”

Hey, if we ban cat ears, then only the bad guys will have cat ears!
