Princess Kate’s outfit looks straight out of a 1980's soap opera.  It is very unflattering and the color is all wrong.  

Tangleweave. It will be floating around town in the form of tangleweave, ensnaring and cutting off the toes of filthy pigeons. Have you seen pigeons hobbling around on crippled feet? It’s usually not a disease, but something called a hair tourniquet, caused by human hair or other, artificial fibres.

I bought a foundation there and came back the next day to exchange it for the next shade down. The cashier analyzed the one I was returning like she was in the CSI lab. She literally took off the pump, looked inside tilted it from side to side to see how much I used in the 24hrs since I’d bought it.

It’s interesting because I live in the DC area and have never had this problem with most Sephora employees and wonder if it’s because a decent portion of them are women of color. Sephora employees I’ve dealt with here have typically been really helpful and super professional. Most actually tend to hound you and ask…

. . . k.

You know, there is a possibility you could be wrong, right? That there are some celebs who DON’T partake? And that there are non-famous women out there that are aging just as well as J. Lo. but without all the help. (Escandalo!) And you can take the “you” in your little “coming for you” and maybe just shove…

I think the expectations of perfection are so extraordinary that they are keeping up their intense workouts and dieting *and* wearing Spanx. I mean, they are naturally beautiful people who have world-class makeup artists and *still* use Photoshop. It’s a weird world.

Good on Leslie for calling out Sephora. I HATE shopping there in-store because nearly every time I’ve gone (especially if I’m with my mother) I either get ignored or treated extremely condescendingly, and it REALLY feels like it has something to do with our skin color. It’d be one thing if this happened once or twice,…

I’m going to try and not go down this rabbit hole of how much I dislike cyclists, but let me just say that living in Colorado is made so much worse by cyclists.

“Dude, you’re just slowly crushing your balls on a narrow sliver of plastic, pipe down.”

Bike riders are easily the worst. Fuck those clowns n their Lance Armstrong cosplay outfits all bombing down the rail trail at a whopping 15 mph like they’re training for the Tour so they can go to the craft brewery later and sit around in their too-tight shorts trading Strava readings while complaining that the IPA…

I just has a swarm in a tree in my front yard last week. Our county provides FREE removal of them by a beekeeper safely and humanely, where they are then relocated to continue doing their good works. My kids thought the swarm was scary at first, but once they saw them all piled on top of each other just chilling out,…

I feel like we need to talk more about how the NYPD has a bee unit.  (I’m not criticizing them for it; I just find it very interesting.)

Could it be the ghosts of the Sargasso?

Obviously it’s MAX from Flight of the Navigator.

That’s what I was thinking too when Missandei and Grey Worm talked about going there. You know what? It’s all fiction anyway. I say Missandei and the Unsullied left that night. Just took a bunch of boats and sailed to Naath. The Unsullied went on some quest and solved the Butterfly fever problem and they lived happily…

Yes

Absolute parallels to white supremacist history as told through a fantasy lens. The writing forgot major themes, sweep and the majesty of multi-layered storytelling. The direction sucked whenever a character’s emotional range needed to be shown. But the cinematography was epically beautiful and most scenes from this…

Brown bread made from course ground flour, invented and championed by a 19th century Protestant minister, vegetarian, and teetotaler who was noted as an expert on health and wellness, before dying at the ripe old age of 57. 

Cheers for engaging and following up. The way the incident is presented on wikipedia (that she was “falsely accused”) really irks me. There’s no debate about whether she made the gesture - she did. The question is what her intent was. And I don’t think that her or her husband’s denial of an allegation of intent…

Honestly, I love this response.

Context is everything in social actions and interactions. Knowledge of audience, situation, and location are key to understanding how a given gesture, statement, or behavior is likely to be received.

If you act in full knowledge of the likely (negative) interpretations of your actions and…
