“This is not just a magazine. This is a shining beacon of hope for… Oh, I don’t know… let’s say a young boy growing up in Rhode Island with six brothers, pretending to go to soccer practice when he was really going to sewing class and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight.” – The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything–anger, anxiety, or possessions–we cannot be free.
Don’t rush into any kind of relationship. Work on yourself. Feel yourself, experience yourself, and love yourself. Do this first and you will soon attract that special loving other.

I will never defend the Erdem because it’s freaking fug. However, even I have to admit that they are fashionable evening gowns and are appropriate for the occasion.
This is literally resort wear being worn in a professional setting.
Yep, she’s supposedly getting training, but I don’t see it.
It’s particularly grating because it’s a CHOGM event. Yes, you can rant and rave about royal privileges all you want, BUT THE ONLY REASON CHOGM EXISTS IS BECAUSE OF THE MONARCHY. Meghan is there because Harry’s granny is head of the Commonwealth. That’s the ONLY reason.
Exactly. Somehow his family managed to crush his self-esteem to the point where he honestly thinks that this woman is the hot shit and is better at his job than he is. It’s incredible.
I don’t think his family crushed his self esteem. I think he’s just desperate to get married and start a family.

Even Lainey didn’t like what MM wore today. She gave it the “Assy Style” tag.
One of the really pleasureable aspects of George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire is the rich world-building that infuses his story. GRRM’s story is typical of what Tolkien called a secondary world fantasy, which refers to a consistent, fictionary world that is in contrast to reality (x). His books contain a myriad of “historical” details that give the story an immersive depth. The recent companion book The World of Ice and Fire elaborates on this fictional world and is a must for any fan of the series. The companion book allowed for an elaboration of his fictional world as there are many aspects that he hasn’t found room for in the novels.
However, there is one piece of history that often is mentioned in the novels but that isn’t really elaborated on – yet. I am speaking of the Valyrian Freehold, or more specifically its Doom. Martin has promised that the exact cause of the Doom will be revealed in future novels but the companion book offers a number of interesting details.
The Doom of Valyria plays upon a popular trope: that of a fabled (often advanced) civilization that is destroyed through a cataclysm, often brought on by human decadence or hubris.
A story setting or legendary place doesn’t necessarily have to be Atlantis per se to tap into the myth fabric, but it can be any sort of lost civilization that had great achievements and then were mysteriously lost. (TVTropes)
It has its roots in the myth of Atlantis but there are countless variations, such as Mu, Lemuria and Númenor, which is Tolkien’s version of the Atlantis myth. The Doom of Valyria is, in many respects, Martin’s version of this pervasive myth – one that may turn out to have a narrative importance for the his main story.
There’s one aspect that I find particularly fascinating about the Doom. While the exact cause of the Doom is unknown, the sad remains of the Valyrian peninsula appears to have become a place that is haunted, a dangerous place where travellers are lost and where the land is permanently blighted.
It seems as though the land itself is cursed. Therefore, I think it could be interesting to frame the Doom of Valyria and its effects in terms of a magical pollution of the land itself.
Uh, no. That was a pap walk. She did them all the time in Toronto. She hasn’t been photographed outside of official engagements for months. Not a coincidence that she didn’t get the CHOGM engagements she wanted and shortly thereafter she was photographed leaving a workout, i.e. yoga.
UK probably has it locked down due to IPSO.
Harper’s Bazaar has it because they’re an American outlet and not restricted by IPSO. Also, that’s one of the outlets MM has her publicist send articles to all the time.
I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind; but then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light. I learnt that inside every one of them there will always be both.
The Queen’s last remaining corgi, Willow, has died at the age of 14 following a cancer-related illness. According to the Daily Mail that Her Majesty has been hit ‘extremely hard’ by the death of her last remaining corgi. The death of Willow marks the end of an era as The Queen no longer owns any corgis. However, she does still have two dorgis, Vulcan and Candy, who are corgi-dachshund…
I immediately thought of @duchessofostergotlands and her love for dogs. This is such sad news.
It is sad but remember that the Queen wants to ensure that none of her current dogs survive her, so if they go before her, I think the Queen is happy. Then when the Queen goes, she knows she is not leaving any dog behind and she’s joining them, and her parents and sister. OMG. I’m so sad right now.
I’m still not being able to use my hands for long periods. Sorry!
To the well wishers, thank you! 😉☺
For the person that submitted a screenshot from an IP (Port Chester, New York) asking if it was me: The answer is no, it isn’t me. I live in New York City, not in Rye (a city in the state of New York).
No, I wasn’t cut off from receiving/giving info because I got pissed/complained at the amount of donations from the BRF to the Grenfell Tower Survivors. Some info cannot be published.
I stopped publishing things on here and answering asks simply because some were twisting what I was saying to fulfill their dreams, ‘because is fun’. I don’t agree with this. Sorry!
As soon as I can I will get back and answer your asks, please be patient.
PS. I didn’t turn myself into a sugar, sorry! I got personality, but I wouldn’t lie about a fact just to mess with you, just because is fun or worse, because I got nothing else to do.
Take care,
NYC 😘
“Because is fun” is a very accurate description of certain bloggers.
That was not long after her pre-engagement, pap-walk facial. Her skin is atrocious when you look at her these days. The stress ain’t just getting to Harry; it’s getting to her too.
Fresh on the heels of Ready Player One (which features cameo appearances by Batman, Harley Quinn, Batgirl and more), Steven Spielberg is ready to dive into the DC Universe proper with Blackhawk, a just-announced feature film from Spielberg, Amblin Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures based on the classic DC series about a squadron of WWII-era pilots. Blackhawk, which Spielberg is hoping to direct, will be his first featured centered around characters from the DC Universe.
In announcing the film, Warner Bros. Pictures Group Chairman Toby Emmerich said, “We are so proud to be the studio behind Steven Spielberg’s latest hit, and are thrilled to be working with him again on this new action adventure. We can’t wait to see what new ground he will break in introducing Blackhawk to movie audiences worldwide.”
