Whoa, is his waistline photoshopped? He's so tiny.

I agree that culturally we seem to think the elderly are fair game. However, I don't think Heidi meant disrespect or mocking with her outfit. She basically just aged herself by 40 years or so, but not to make fun. She looks like a very stylish old lady.

Yes. If you have no health insurance, nothing is covered.

And then.... PANTS. Wonderful, wonderful pants.

I think it could be interesting. Trying to navigate the very complex social structure of the Georgian/Regency English high society is well-supplied with material for a good sandbox-like, multiple-outcome game. It would be based on relationships rather than head-shots, but I definitely think that if done right it could

I love Georgian dress. I don't know why the fashion ever changed to the restrictive Victorian garb of later years. Well, I do, but in hindsight it seems ridiculous.

Oops, didn't read closely enough. Missed the "set in Jane Austen novels period" part. You're right, this is earlier than Victorian, it's Georgian/Regency. FYI, Edwardian comes after Victorian, in the early 20th century.

I hope there is a function for being too ostentatious and wearing the wrong amount of jewelry or wrong colors for your social status. Or failing to bend the right corner when you leave your card on a routine house call. Or not knowing enough poetry or skills at piano for entertainment after dinner and getting chucked

Buh, I don't like their hour of the Today Show at all. Those costumes are pretty rad, though. So props for that.

Guys, PLEASE, being polite does NOT MEAN you have to submit yourself to creeps or laugh it off. You can be polite and stand up for yourself. Please stop making a false equivalence with politeness and doormats.

There is a great feature of Kinja which allows you to dismiss replies from trolls. Just click on the "x" on the reply.

I just want to point out that Democrat and Republican and Liberal and Conservative are not necessarily nor always analogous. It's probably a safe assumption to say that it's the conservative men who don't think more women in Congress is a good thing, but it's still an assumption.

I agree with you. I also wanted to put in, though, that a lot of people are using the sentiment "boy, I WISH I could stay at home and eat bonbons and sleep in until noon!" Which isn't really true either. Maybe for the wealthy elite it would be, but housekeeping is a lot of work as well. Maybe not high-order or complex

Difficult question to answer. Full disclosure, I am not an Indian American, but have some educational background in American indigenous studies. Firstly, not every Indian person feels the same way (duh). For people who would be offended by an "Indian" costume, my guess is that anyone misappropriating the cultures and

Is she really short? She looks positively Lilliputian here.

My mother's cousin bought a house. It was a perfectly normal house, a starter home for their new family and not very big. One day they noticed that there was too much room between the bedroom and another room, and when taking down the wallpaper in the hallway, found a sealed doorway.

Oh man, that is so much worse than catching your parents doing it. So, so much worse.

Agreed. Freaking fantastic.

Ughhhhhhh what the hell. What the hell. It's my lunch hour, you guys.
