Maybe the twist is that this actually happened in 1960 and they’ve been married for 50 years!

For Gawker, I’ve been in ‘teh greyz’ since Kinja 2.0 and I was never in the black ever in Jezzie. I survive on the strength of my comments getting promoted. :-)

I think it’s mainly because everyone in the area is descended from the same woman, the first person to immigrate to the region from Europe. One of the record books they check is called The Bernard Book, which lists all of her descendants.

First cousins are actually ok. Kids will def need glasses, but that’s about it.

My “senior prom” dress (we called them “formals”, back in the beforetime when mrsfinch was a teenager) was midnight-black taffeta with a high lacy collar, an asymmetrical closing (this was the 1980s) and huge puffy sleeves (ditto). I had black elbow gloves and a wrist corsage. I thought I looked elegant. My mother…

My 1999 prom dress was very She’s All That Taylor Vaughn style complete with gold lipstick and body glitter.

I went out and bought a vintage Oscar de la Renta pattern and sewed my own dress - it turned out surprisingly well for the efforts of an 18 year old and the Home Ec teacher. It was floor length, black, with a white sash at the waist that trailed down the back almost to the hem. Strapless. The top was folded over and…

Meanwhile, there are huge protests happening throughout the city right now. So big, in fact, that the Independent is reporting Melania Trump is trapped in her hotel room (or, Senate guest house room)

The cruelty in those pictures is astounding. Everyone just stood around watching Christie instead of trying to save him by rolling him back into the ocean.

The joke’s on CBS, Emma Stone won’t be any cheaper.

A photo of a woman on her knees cleaning = support for Trump. I guess she’s staying on brand..

I love Shea but Sasha definitely deserved to win. Her creativity is through the roof. She is today’s Leigh Bowery or Klaus Nomi. Sasha and Shea definitely seemed like the nicest, most likable of this past season.

I have loved Donal Logue since Grounded for Life, and this breaks my heart. I hope Jade is ok and comes home soon.

Intersectional Feminist Writer: Ugh, I can’t even with these people who won’t wake up and see the sexism all around them!

“He’s a model... in Canada. You don’t know him; he goes to a different school.” - Leslie Jones

One of my literature teachers was fond of saying “Thinking Romeo and Juliet is romantic is like thinking that Hamlet is a good example of healthy familial relationships.”

Be careful! I never used one of these things (and now I’m not going to) but they sounds horrifying. I fully understand your reluctance.

I have so much love for Fred Savage. Like, he makes me giddy, and I can’t explain it. I’m super gay, but I’m pretty sure I have had a full-on crush on him since 1988.

Between this show, GLOW and Friends From College, I am all about Nexflix for the next couple of months. (Oh, with the exception of Playing House, which is also starting tomorrow - can’t wait for more Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham).

I loved that movie so much - like, I decided I was going to change my whole approach to life after I saw it and take charge like Sue Ellen and live life like a boss (I was 13). That lasted about two days, but my love for the movie endures.
