ya but Colin and rest of them turned out to be ok so far

When multiple members of an offspring suffer from affluenza you know who gave it to them: their parents.

To birth one asshole may be regarded as a misfortune (see Chet Haze and Tom Hanks); to birth two looks like bad parenting.

I’ve been seeing her all weekend on Netflix. She’s taken over my life and I’m ok with that. also, how freaking awesome is Stranger Things? I have one more episode left. So. Good.

A story about Peter and Harry Brant from the comments of a 2012 Jezebel story about Peter (http://jezebel.com/i-once-sat-in-…), which I immediately thought of because the amount of utterly clueless privilege is just painful:

At first glance of the photo I thought he was Winona and I was like, “girl, Stranger a Things is a hit, why are you being an asshole again?”

I’m getting a strong “wannabe Winona Ryder” vibe.

The lip color/shirt doesn’t really work with his coloring, and he’s wearing way too much foundation or concealer or spackle or whatever that is.

Growing and changing = “being more closeted to avoid angering people”. Gah.

During the awful thing that was the RNC, I swore all the white blonde ladies looked the same. And I say this is a white blonde haired lady. But, seriously, they looked identical and it was creepy.

I’m white and Irish (real, proper Irish... from Ireland) and I’m struggling to spot the difference... they do all look the same... It’s surreal how generic ‘pageant pretty’ is...

That blouse! Gorgeous.

I’ve never used it but there were times in the past that I didn’t speak up when I heard someone else use it. To this day I’m ashamed of my cowardice. I try to give myself a break with “I was younger and not self-confident and blah blah” but it really was just that I didn’t want the person to not like me. This is the…

Where have you been hiding out lately, honey?/You can’t dress trashy till you spend a lot of money...

Pageants have always been a little too JonBenét Ramsey-ish to me. And 14?? Gross and grosser

I have been looking at this pic for a good 10 minutes and I can’t tell them apart. I am bad (awful) with faces though. If that was someone’s dating history, I would feel 100% confident in my ability to pick out the next girlfriend.

I think in the very beginning they were cheap. Here is a picture of the very first Miss America.

The five all have that vaguely thirty-ish Botoxed, fillered, veneered, extensioned, and rhinoplastied look.

And they say that WE look alike! :-/ I can only hope that she really means it when she says that she has grown and changed. I'd feel better if she denounced racist language...

Not headed for Harvard this fall. She’s taking a gap year and working at, I believe, the US Embassy in Spain. (I know more about the Obama family than I know about my own sometimes)...

Does no one remember the Will Friedle Classic “My Date With the President’s Daughter”? I’m only 24 but that’s still my go-to first kid movie reference.
