Grown up-Shmown up. Wait until you become the same age as the old people in pop culture. This year, I did not turn 40. I turned the same as Jackie Tyler in Rise of the Cybermen.

Here is an actual picture of the bonus I got from my editors when I wrote a feature very quickly

I'm going to be that asshole that throws a wet blanket over all this and laments that this gorgeous animal isn't out prowling and hunting and killing, but rather locked up somewhere for our amusement.

I loved Barbie shoes as a kid. My favorite were the rubbery ‘80s ones (top row in pic above) they had before they switched to the hard plastic shoes. I LOVED THOSE SQUISHY SHOES. And then they stopped making them. It was a very disappointing moment in my life.

No Cannes for you, Barbie!

Nope, never mind. Forgot about this. I’d wear the fuck out of this ensemble.

This is an all-time first for anything related to Barbie: WOULD WEAR.

The Ronettes, the Shirelles (Dedicated to the One I Love, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow), Martha and the Vandellas (Dancing in the Streets, Locomotion), the Marvelettes (Please, Mr. Postman). So many classic songs came from these girl groups.

It’s crazy when doubling the price of literally everything you sell while halving the quality doesn’t result in higher sales.

“We bought too much of the Tilly, which was a relative of the Tippi”

They also bought too much of the Kitti. It was not the best seller it promised to be, despite the adorableness of the spokeskitten.

I love both. Each group has a special place in my heart and having to choose one over the other would be like shooting my child*.

I’ve become so obsessed with The Supremes and their story and their music after watching Dreamgirls a kazillion times on HBO over the last couple of months. I’m glad they gave Effie White the happy ending Florence Ballard never got.

Hard to believe that the lady was already singing the blues before Ashlee became her daughter- in- law

I mean, I get that they legally COULD, but given the extreme (for a TV show!) gaslighting going on, and what I personally know of shooting a reality show, I’m willing to bet that they didn’t FEEL like they could leave, and would have been surrounded with production trying to convince them not to had they exercised…

Sometimes, people from production would stand outside your room, when you’d think that they didn’t know you were up. They’d whisper, “You have to get him back to Buckingham Palace. The Royal Family’s very upset. They’re not happy about the show. It’s this new thing they’ve never done before, and they’re trying to be…

Even by reality TV standards, this sounds like some fucked up bullshit.

Please tell me that have a special section for all of their wigs

Florence was gone, but I feel like these outfits started the 70’s.

Mark, if you, like me, owned a dogeared copy of Bear Attacks, you’d know the park ranger maxim “a fed bear is a dead bear.” That’s because bears, when they begin to associate humans with food, often escalate to attacking humans when they realize that they’re made of meat.
