You are very welcome. There’s no sadness in it for me, though, just a happy memory of a very different time. (Kate’s dress is going to age very well indeed.)

You are going to catch a tsunami of shit for this, but I admire your bravery in speaking up to a minority opinion. (Pun inevitable but not intended.)

Not to support any of her mendacious claims, but the blonde thing would actually be a possibility. Hair that returns after chemo baldness can be a different texture, colour, and type. Mine used to be straight and fine, but it’s coming back in thick and curly. (As to colour, can’t tell ya- I no longer know what my…

Judaism is a religion, yes, but also a cultural identity.

I think you should have way more stars for this comment.

According to the Court Jeweler website (omg royal jewels!!), there is a Scandinavian royal tradition that princesses are given their first tiara on their 18th birthday.

Chanel has a youtube channel that features gorgeous little videos, about three minutes each, showing how the couture fabrics are created. Some of them are entirely embroidery- talented hands stitching beads, individual silk flowers, beads, on organza (maybe?) in a frame. Then you see the models walking in the show…

It hasn’t aged well, but it was (as Ms Fontina Fromage says) the right gown for the time. I remember the breathless anticipation leading up to the day- think, Kate’s gown times ten at the very least. And I remember the very moment I saw it (I am old). I was walking by an appliance store on a high street, and a tv in a…

Truth. A makeup artist can tell if you’re a smoker just from the skin of your face.

Here’s a link you might find applicable.

Guess you didn’t read the hundreds of comments before replying. (I’m not trying to be a douche about this, honest, but it’s worth reading them.) The face tat is on Gucci Mane. Dan did a copy on someone else’s leg.

True enough, though I am sure they look to cast “types” and divas make more drama. FWIW, my ex flew all the way to Las Vegas to get a tattoo done by Joey Hamilton, who won his season of Ink Master. From their initial email exchange to the all-weekend session, Joey was nothing but patient, soft-spoken, and utterly a…

“This is my story.” I can almost hear the CLUNG-CLUNG! of the Law & Order opening teaser.

That’s Gucci Mane’s face. Dan copied the design on someone else’s leg.

Hey, my mom and your mom are the same kind of badass! Mine started getting tattooed after the age of 60. Her most recent one was on the palm of her hand. Her longtime artist said, “we don’t often do the palm, because it doesn’t tend to last as long as other places.”

Many artists have a “blood relatives only” policy because, well... that really is the only guaranteed permanent relationship. Having said that, your artist was unforgivably rude to laugh in your face- what a complete tool!

Because how DARE he say “no” to her, I mean, the NERVE of that guy! Apparently.

THIS. “He disagreed with me!” is not bullying. “She pointed out my mistake!” is not bullying. “They’re refusing to let me double-down on my original mistake and subsequent vitriolic tantrum!” is definitely, absolutely, hilariously not bullying.

I’m so, so sorry for your loss.

I LOVE this!
