Which is such a shame and so unnecessary! I’ve spent a lot of time in heavily-boned corsets, and when constructed properly they’re admittedly a bit uncomfortable (and definitely force an uncannily upright posture) but are neither torture devices nor lung inhibitors.

My understanding is that while she is exceptionally well-educated in etiquette and matters touching on royal duties (including law, where relevant), she otherwise has the approximate equivalent of a high school education -- and not a great one, at that.

The only problem is that Charles was so close to the throne that he literally couldn’t marry without the Queen’s permission — unless he was willing to drop out of the line of succession, that is.

Genuine answer: Because it was probably really shitty having four gorgeous older sisters and having to go through puberty on TV while horrible people kept referring to you as “the ugly one.”

They could totally do this.

And I suspect your coworker would also feel entitled to stare at them as often (and creepily) as he wanted. Because if you didn’t want the attention, why would you even have gotten them in the first place?

If you’re even in the neighborhood of looking like Natalie Portman then you must be stunning. :) 

That is exactly how I feel about her.

If women want to not have sex, and only continue having sex because otherwise the guy will rape them, aren’t they already having coerced sex?

Or heck, Sarah Paulson, whose face can be terrifyingly severe.

My doctors weren’t even letting me stand up yet two days after birth (but that’s an unplanned c-section for ya, I guess). :(

With the amount of coke I’m assuming he’s inhaled, I’m amazed his heart still functions. He’s a medical miracle.
