This is similar to my mother and I. Her family is French Canadian and Italian, my dad's is Norwegian. I very much take after the Nordic side of my parentage. Throughout my childhood, people assumed my mom was a nanny or a baby sitter; her fantastic genes make her look MUCH younger than she really is, which didn't…
Awww yisssss. New avatar courtesy of dental creepers. Pity the avatars are so tiny on Kinja these days.
Neither have I. And after witnessing some extreme CC debauchery at Thanksgiving, I'm grateful that I never even gave that game a cursory glance. My poor aunt was playing 3 games on 3 devices as my mom and grandmother flung their phones at her, begging her to get them past the levels on which they were stuck. The…
Upon seeing that, my brain kind of stuttered and for several minutes, all I could think or say was, "Oh, my." I sound like the goddamn Fifty Shades girl over here. That pic? Worth it.
Vintage vote: Christopher fucking Walken. Unf.
This is the best FITA experience ever. So much love for this story, you poor dear.
Every time someone mentions LifeGem, I just think that in a few generations, they're going to end up in a pawn shop.
I was named after my French Canadian great-great-grandmother. Her full name was Maria Leonida Lia Charone dit DuCharme. I only got one of her names. I should demand to have the rest of them, too, so that I can at least get a shot at having a fox infested hut.
This seems to be more and more common. In fact, the outfits pictured here are pretty demure compared to half of what I see at work. I'm a mortuary intern, and I see a LOT of T&A at funerals. And even more 5-7" platform stilettos (my ankles hurt just thinking about them, but that's because I'm a clumsy little spud).…
Bored or tired is what I thought, too. I'm sure she sat in the stylist's chair FOREVER to get that look. I get antsy as hell having someone hovering over me when I get my hair cut, and I'm only enduring that for, what, 30 minutes tops? I'm pretty sure I'd look like I was waiting for the world to burn if I'd had to…
I admit to doing my makeup very carefully for work, but it's less about looking pretty and more about making sure I'm not confused for the "clients" as I work in a funeral home and I'm naturally very pale with barely pigmented lips. So I make sure I keep a nice, neutral lipstick on at all times lest I get stuffed…
My eyes lean towards gray depending on the light and what I'm wearing, so it sounds like eggplant should work on you. I've found that even though I'm pale with light eyes, darker colors just look better. I favor Kat von D's eyeshadow palettes: Saint (browns) for work and Sinner (purples) for not-work. I do a light…
I've got pale blue eyes and dark purples are THE BEST. I've found that bright purples look garish, and brown liners do nothing for me, but plums and eggplants are exquisite.
Well, if I ever find myself in a situation in which I need to spontaneously break down in a full on ugly cry, all I have to do is look at the poster for The Book Thief. Good to know.
Reindeer: NOT LOVABLE. This picture was taken mere seconds before that little fucker charged me. Laugh at how tiny and cute he is, but you'd have been running and screaming too if he started attacking you. Despite the carnage, this remains one of the cuddlier memories from my childhood. Still: reindeer are cute in…
Haha, you beat me to it. I didn't even read the article yet, just saw the headline, got the "Death Pockets" jingle stuck in my head (amazing how quickly that happens), and raced to snag a link to this clip. Well played!
And yes, towels and blankets were carried around for seating purposes. Because we were still smart enough to be icked out by the alternative.
I went to a small liberal arts college whose May Day tradition was legendary (within our rural community) to the point that incoming freshmen hearing about it thought upperclassmen were just fucking with them. From midnight to midnight on May 1st, students ran around nekkid all over campus. Most of the nude…
