Middle class in the UK doesn’t mean the same thing it means in the US. It’s essentially rich, but not nobility. Think Mr Darcy in Pride & Prejudice.

Yes. But it’s not just that he’s fat. (I’m fat. I’m death fat. But I’ve made it a point to learn to dress my body, and now I dress other people who are still learning to dress their fat bodies without shame.) It’s that he’s hiding in his clothes. And doing a damn poor job of it. I mean, if you’re going to fake having…

Chelsea, I was in tears yesterday as I (with my students in the Middle East) watched the election unfold. Today we talked about the fear of wearing hijab on their holidays in America. I had to sit in a classroom of young women and try not to cry, while trying to give them hope, and admit that if they were to visit the…

I confess to two pints of Hagen Daaz yesterday. No wine though. (Am making up for that lack tonight!)

Try to imagine Noel Fielding being mildly amusing whilst pleasing nans and family viewers and talking about cake.

That is literally the dress I’m wearing right now! Mine is black & white though. It is my go-to, and I'm taking mine to the tailor to get a few more made up!

I was Mame for World Book Day (I’m a teacher - dress-up is part of the job), and no one in the school had heard of her.

Pretty sure he is why I have unrealistic standards for potential partners.

That was just a beautiful comment.

You know Kim K knew what she was doing. As did Taylor, as did Kanye. Let’s be real, guys. All of these people are pretty carefully curated personas. One of their stories is ending (I know which one has my vote!), but it’s all publicity that they (their handlers) will all spin.

I can tell you exactly what kind of children they’re raising: children who see the hired help as “less”. I’ve got a whole classroom full of them, and the lack of consideration - or humanity, depending on the child - they give to their servants is shocking.

I thought the same - like Look! Now she’s dating a real live grown man! But apparently in the US the fame or whatever is reversed. That said, he def has a type (see Elizabeth Olsen), and what the hell. They seem to at least be having fun with this showmance. Carry on, beautiful famous people, whilst the rest of us…

Usually 2x a week, depending on whether I've been swimming or particularly sweaty/smoky.

Solid shampoo bars! Natural (or near natural) conditioners! Once or twice a week!

I finally got on the Mane & Tail train a few months ago. Stuck with it for two whole bottles (so, a couple of months). Zero benefit. I've gone back to my solid shampoos and leave-in conditioner.

As someone who spent years with a go bag in her trunk for the bad days (and who regularly purges her worldly belongings), I can identify with the action in this article, if not the rather purple prose.

Yeah, same.

I think his Twitter feed might be perfect. So glad I'm following now!!!

Come on over! Don’t worry, it won’t really cost you $7000. We have Groupon. :) Just don’t think about the gross inequalities, and you’ll be fine. Close your eyes to what you don’t want to see - it’s how we do things here - and have a great time! (But don’t go to Ferrari World. What an extraordinary waste of money.)

I live there. (Okay, nearby, but that hotel was my first home in Abu Dhabi!) Lived there for a month. On the cheap....mostly because the rest of the island wasn’t really built yet. There was that hotel...Ferrari World...and IKEA. That’s actually it.
