Speaking from a career of selling photographs on behalf of photographers who regularly shoot famous people:

Well ... I may be understanding this wrong but ... let’s review.

Taylor Swift reminds me a lot of Martha Stewart. They are well dressed, polite, kind and can decorate and craft like no bodies business. I also think they honestly been the sweet things they do and go out of their way to say.

From her Twitter: “Happy Dad’s Day! @charliesheen have a great trip in Mexico! Kids were disappointed u weren’t here for it- Hey we’ll celebrate when u r back!”

So what you’re saying is ... I’m not a cynical asshole for reacting poorly to her before or for being reluctant to let go of it. She’s got better people.

TOTALLY COUSINS

“Why do you ask?” is such a powerful question in these circumstances.

from one Rachael/Rachel to another, your name is the BEST!!!
