Baloney. You really think the people the Pope is scheduled to meet aren’t carefully vetted in advance, before they’re allowed anywhere near him? I’m sure his American staff knew exactly who she was and informed him as such. That doesn’t necessarily mean the Pope endorsed her actions, but then again he is a highly…

So, Little Ms. Kim lied. What’s a few lies after openly being a bible based bigot?

And I bet that 10 minute-long meeting was in Peru too.

To be fair, I could totally see her being invited in a large group and him having no fucking clue who she was. I can’t see Nunciature going out of their way to invite a non-Catholic with a rather controversial position to meet him, especially when he’s specifically stated that he believes the church should not focus…

The thing that drives me batshit crazy about this whole thing is that Apostolic Christians don’t believe that Catholics are real Christians! Why is she so excited to meet the head of the Catholic Church if she believes Catholics are going to hell?! (Answer: Because she’s an attention whore.)

I want to give fighting polish credit for being pretty close to 100% correct:

Rules are rules, if you refuse to teach the students rules at a young age, they’ll keep trying to take advantage of them, same with the parents. This is a result of her mother blowing things out of proportion. She’s really not missing much for 1 day of school, stop being so sentimental.

That’s what it kind of seemed like from the story. The school does have a history of suspending kids for uniform stuff, but it definitely seemed like there was more to the story, and the way mom is pushing it makes me think she really got into it with the administrators, but that’s just an impression.

I saw the original story on the news, and the station did call the school, but they didn’t give specifics as per policy. The impression I got from watching is that the scenario probably went something like this:

Of course you want them arrested. Then, when one of the Gawker sites does a sad article about our mass incarceration problem, you’ll be right there with everybody else bitching about it, without a shred of irony.

I think it's also, like, the social media/reality TV effect. I'm about to go full old lady on you: I think that more than wanting to create memories, these are people who want to document their starring role. I don't think there's anything sentimental or genuine about it. I think it's an ode to the ego.

Just gotta say as a former wedding photographer...these things are godsends when it comes to brides who can’t articulate with words what kind of ‘look’ they’re going for in their photos.

I read downthread someone complaining about a survey a wedding photographer gave them asking about ‘what kind of bride are you’.…

The pic with the bride at an outdoor desk made me laugh. “Yes, you see, this is a candid shot where I happened to be in my gown while walking through green fields, when, by total chance, I came across this desk! So naturally I sat down hand-wrote all of my wedding invitations right there! And what an amazing…

Thanks a lot for doing that, you are literallyresponsible for this, this actual fantasy escort card display that uses actual giant precious stones the size of my actual fists,

Weddings are totally overboard these days, and I agree with the sentiments around fake imagery that accompanies them. How much wistfulness can one bride, who is probably in all actuality losing her shit over wedding details anyway, be expected to convey?

Along the same lines, I saw a staged photo of a six-year old boy…

EVERY CHANCE TO POST IT I WILL TAKE

It isn't a rape joke, they may offer and he may accept. I said "willing"!

I can’t believe the woman spent ten months in jail based on an accusation by a convicted felon. And has cancer! She also has very poor people-evaluation skills. He is a thief first and foremost and her first mistake was the whole “momager” thing. It sounds like she wanted a bigger piece of the celebrity pie and it…

She dropped him as a client and ended his skincare services.

When I read, a few weeks ago, that Kermit left Piggy for another pig, I gave up on the Muppets. There are some places "entertainment" just should not go. WTF, KERMIT?!!!
