Here she is at the Derby

The announcers were all talking about how much he has changed. Apparently he got older and mellowed, also hasn’t been all that lucky since the early nineties. They said he has made a big effort to let everyone know he’s truly grateful. Who knew a goddamn Triple Crown would cap his career? It’s pretty amazing.

There is absolutely nothing on God’s green earth wrong with gladiator sandals. I bet they look great on you, but in my opinion the only person who should give a shit is you.

If Cosmo posted huge pictures of random humans by tricking them into giving permission and then called them assholes and invited their entire readership and beyond to pile on.

Okay, but I don’t agree. I own and wear a fur vest. Saying “if you wear a fur vest you’re an asshole” is calling me an asshole. Not just me, of course, but everyone who owns and wears one. There were no contingencies attached to that comment. I defended only myself because I don’t see myself as the representative of…

It turned out great, and is super practical. Glad you like the idea!
