I can vouch for Fanny Hill, with its rollicking eighteenth-century sensibility, being a much better read than the later but better-known My Secret Life (1888), written by “Walter”. Walter is a jerk, but the book (I have a condensed modern printing) does provide some insight into the seamy underbelly of Victorian…

I used to listen to it a lot, too. I remember in one episode Faris was asked about dating someone with different political beliefs, and she gave such a measured and fully-formed response that I’m convinced Pratt voted for Trump.

I attended a 22 year old’s wedding in Springfield, Missouri last June. They announced their split last month.

According to the super speedy Google search I just did, she is not religious and that’s believed to be part of the reason for their split. 

I don’t know why, but Chris Pratt has always set off “DANGER, DANGER” bells in my head. Like, I feel as though he’d be really slowly emotionally manipulative and that his “charming” persona is just a public veneer that he strips off but only when he’s thoroughly got you under his control. RUN, KATHERINE.

Safe to say he is clearly last in the battle of the Chris? Figure Pine, Thor and Cap are all above him (they already were) but this has to be the nail in this coffin.

More hats please

Therapy works. By all accounts he was not in a great place mentally for much of his life. He got help, stopped drinking constantly, and turned into what seems like a pretty decent guy.

i don’t have kids myself, but to me that looks like the face of a toddler whose cooperation has been purchased with the promise that she can shout one rude word as soon as they get a good photo

Funny how they chose a picture that was taken before Kate was visibly pregnant (she should be about 5 months along now). I wonder if they deliberately avoided showing her as pregnant, or if it’s normal for the royal families to choose pictures for the Christmas card that were taken months in advance.

That little Charlotte is just too cute. She has this look like she knows exactly who and what she is. I am sure she keeps her parents and nannies busy. I love it.

Can’t wait. Can’t wait! Of course, Asshole in Chief will have some excuse or be like, “well I was at his parents’ wedding. Diana was beautiful. Amazing. Incredible.”

A+ historical reference!

Also, this photo is my favorite:

This is some Marie Antoinette Petit Trianon shit

Fuck me, this is better for my coveted hate read of the William Sonoma holiday catalog! Bless you.

Bone china just means there is bone ash in the clay mix. Porcelain refers to the historic use of pig bones. I am on board for some of this. The paper cup for my pencils or paintbrushes is EXACTLY my wheelhouse.

So, I’ll preface this by saying I used to be a dumbass labelwhore...

I fucking love it. They’re totally trolling their own loyalists, and I have to give them props because they KNOW that shit will sell.

I’d also accept everyone switching to Yiddish.
