That actually WOULD be the perfect gift for someone to buy me. I have a few 'creatures' but my favourite is Roald Fawkes, the Pega-Fox. Here he is, all dressed up for xmas:

The Moffatts were basically the Canadian Hanson except there were 4 of them and 3 were triplets.

K, this is where I put on my "Hanson, the Moffatts, the Jonas Brothers, etc are not boybands" hat. If they play instruments, in all of their songs, and write their own stuff— they are just a band.

Did this song in karaoke last weekend. It was a hit!

Hanson fans are extremely dedicated, and still exist en masse. I have a Hanson tattoo. I've had it for 13 years and can blame capricious youth but fuck it, they're still great.

It really, really isn't. They are all normal humans who are marketed in a specific way to attract a specific audience, almost always teenage girls.

Did you really think that the world (and by that I assume you mean American?) would be more ready to swoon over a Muslim member of 1D than a black guy, who is your president?

Oh man, but so many of those bands were huge in the UK, they are definitely not forgotten. BBMak, 5ive, Blue, Boyzone? TAKE THAT? WESTLIFE?!?!

YES, thank you. It's not like she was born royal like Wills. She's had a whole lifetime of posing for group photos like normal people.

Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. I was like— so a jokey play on her husband's name, not hers?

I missed Nasim's Kim soooo much during weekend update. Nicki Minaj was terrible in that role.

The first sentence says they'd only go up a cup or a cup-and-a-half, so you wouldn't stretch THAT much.

Personally I was really glad for that leaked weed-smoking video because it confirmed in a big way that both Louis and Zayn regularly smoke up right before a show. It completely showed in the Where We Are date I saw this summer, and it took them about half the show to even open their fucking eyes. They were still…

Zayn's not the only one pissed at Matt Lauer for that fucked up question. It was pretty clear from the entire band's reaction that they didn't appreciate that random bullshit.

I actually looked into it, and they apparently DO sell Sudocrem in Canada, I'd just never seen it because it's stocked with the diaper stuff & I don't have kids. Gonna check it out!

Oooh magic. I wonder if there's a North American equivalent?

I assumed as such.

I'm not a teen but I am a Canadian so I buy a shitload of stuff from Charlotte Russe (and Rue 21) when I've visiting my parents in Florida every winter. The stuff is cheap as fuck but at least it's something different from what we have here so I won't look run into an Actual Teen in the same top.

Yo, I legitimately don't have a sense of smell. I can taste, though it's probably different from the way other people taste (how would I know?) and as a result I'm a wicked picky eater. I can also sort of "taste" some strong smells, like a snake. Like, carpet and hardware stores are a sensory experience, but I…

I think it depends on where you live in Canada. I'm in Halifax where it's filmed and, especially when it was still on, it was absolutely pervasive. There was a bar called Bubbles that has since closed but was an entire drinking establishment dedicated to the show.
