I found the best gift ever for myself while on vacation in NYC a few weeks ago. They currently have a Charlotte Bronte exhibit at the Morgan Library with things on loan from the Parsonage and British Library, some of them in the USA for the first time ever. Besides crying like a baby at seeing Charlotte’s dress and…

My husband keeps proposing an ‘emergency party’ button that when pushed would blast techno music and strobe lights. I think emergency tiara is eminently more reasonable.

There are two things you can do with a tiara.

So lovely. I mean who doesn’t love a good tiara.

I’m intentionally using my data plan just to get your post out of the grays.

False chignon.

My first job out of college was at my college, so I felt fairly....free to be a little weird. Someone gave me a tiara and I would occasionally wear it to work - until the day I happened to be wearing it when there was a major crisis and I ended up in a srs business meeting with the dean...with a tiara on my head.

Yes pls. I’ll bring the Super Soaker to ensure proper wet shirt aesthetic.

Tiaras are everything. I really want one but won’t know what to do with it. Just look at this beauty

How can you be “too into British costume dramas”? They are the best. I love that Masterpiece Theatre Tote. I’m tote-ally going to buy it for myself.

I seriously just bought it. She’s going to FLIP HER SHIT. In a good way.

That TV subscription sounds like the PERFECT gift for my mom!

To-Do List:

Time to nonchalantly post this on Facebook, just because. Not hinting or anything. Just like, “Hey, look at this interesting thing . . . full of things I like.”

I know I’m not the only one who is looking at gift guides thinking “How the hell can people worry about this stuff when the world is exploding right now?!?” and I very much appreciate that Jezebel is not taking them 100% seriously. I’m sure that you are being told to do X number of them and I’m glad that they’ve been…

I’m pretty squicked out by the final statement, with the actual Prime Minister offering the beauty queens to Harry like a selection of after-dinner mints. I can imagine Trump saying the exact same thing to visiting dignitaries...

As far as diplomatic embarrassement is concerned, this will probably never be topped:

Um, well, my brother’s getting married a few days before Christmas. He’s also inviting the biological mother and stepfather who literally dropped me off at a half-way house with a collection of juvenile delinquents and recovering drug addicts within an hour of me finally punching step-dad back.

Then from the sound of it, I’d say it’s more of a blessing than a curse.

I got married to my partner of ten years this past June. I’m certain that this made my parents deliriously happy because there were whispers for years that I probably didn’t like men and here I am married to one.
