Thank you for your concern, but I’m not going to pretend my period doesn’t surprise me sometimes... especially anonymously. XO

To all you commenters who have declared you’d never wear a used bikini, please enjoy these two stories:

Also, he allowed them to put a very white bikini on a body that he had to know was going to be covered in makeup and glitter and lord knows what else. What did he think was going to happen to it? Did he really expect to get it back perfectly white? If he didn’t want to give it to them for the advertising he’d get from…

THANK YOU. This is really poor form on the part of the designer, and I hope Ciroc steps in and calls him out on this. There’s no way he actually believes that Ashanti herself was going to finish up the shoot and then be sent over to the sink with the bikini and a bottle of Woolite, and then pack everything up and take…

Re: the bikini: The designer should be take this up with the Ciroc team, or the ad/production agency who owned the shoot. Just send them an invoice (and, lesson learned, don’t lend clothing for paid ad campaigns—they should buy that shit!). Ashanti didn’t pull the bikini for personal use or even one of her own…

That’s a lot of body make-up. And $700 seems cheap for 16 hours of labor/materials on that swimsuit.

BIG Congrats to you! Doesn’t it feel terrific to DIY?!

I have a reason to celebrate! After 5 years of waiting for The Asshole to fix the divorce papers he wanted me to sign, I went ahead and filed for divorce myself, back in June. This week, the judge signed the decree after The Asshole didn’t respond to the notice he was sent.

Omg I love this.

I did it with a Wilber. To be fair, he was going by his middle name at the time so I had no idea

My favorite eating-alone place was, is, and shall ever be, The French Bee Bakery. It was in a twee little neighborhood of a historic suburb of Kansas City. They made macarons and pain au chocolate, but they also made the most amazing tomato basil panini served with an onion soup... I died. I died three times every…

Me eating with other people = sensible meal with a salad

Please re-read the first comment. This man could have made a plea deal and pleaded guilty to spare these kids the trial. He could have...but he didn’t.

Nicki is successful enough that she’s probably given her mother enough money over the years for her mother to already have had her own savings to bail him out with.

These girls are amazing and beautiful, good for them. We need some middle aged influencers though, people who can expound with confidence that it’s okay not to have a lot of career goals anymore and it cool if you lollygag on the couch all Saturday watching Ferris Beuller and Sixteen Candles for the millionth time and…

Sometimes I feel the lack of having no siblings (mostly because my parents are deeply weird, in not-a-fun-way, and I wish I had someone who understood what it was like growing up), but every day the universe finds some way to remind me how much I don’t actually want a sibling. Today, Ms. Markle Grant is the universe’s…

Well done you.

So it seems that while with the previous Royal marriage most were obsessed with the sister’s arse this one will just have a half-sister who is an arse.

Nonsense. She has had the same manager for 55 years (Martin Ehrlichman). She had the same assistant for 40 years. She’s had the same producing partner since the 70s.
