Don’t be fooled by his superficial liberal reforms, that man is probably gonna be the most autocratic Saudi royal in near future. What kind of person ordered the killing of an exciled journalist overseas, denied his death and then gave us the most stupid explantion that only Trump believes?

“Meghan’s “bump” is literally nonexistent. They could have waited to announce, you can barely tell she’s pregnant in most of the pictures from Australia.” – Submitted by Anonymous

“It would be weird if she had a big bump.” Yes, some women actually lose weight at the beggining, like Kate.I don’t doubt, anymore, shes really pregnant, but its fun bc she always had a proeminent belly and now that shes desperate to push a baby bump she has looked flatter very often and sometimes even seems to have a waist.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I don’t doubt she’s pregnant. I just don’t think she’s showing much, so she has to push the belly out and wear loose clothing to maximize the bumplet.

It’s kind of hilarious when you think of it. She started advertising “the invisible bump” as soon as she could. I wonder how long it took for her to find that ruffle dress.

OMG, remember Jason Wu’s awkward face when he was asked about the pregnancy rumors? I bet the designers knew before the BRF knew.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

So patronages have been further postponed to new year now. Personally I don’t see a US tour for them, with focus on Commonwealth and Brexit, and trump and the debacle that they are doing in the ongoing tour, a US tour might literally cause an uproar.


Thanks for sending this in! I think Meghan will definitely do the US tour. She may even bring the baby along.

Why would the BRF and the UK Foreign Office want to send Harry ‘n Megs out on another tour? Given how terrible this tour is going, what would be the point?

We know Megs wants to go on tour to the US, but that’s because she’s expecting to do a tour in LA because William and Kate stopped there.

The tour has turned into a tabloid freak show. The Beckham’s bring their own family drama, The Mulroney gate crash the event. Dear old Thomas is still crying, Meghan still can’t brush her and Harry looks like hes been on a bender every night since the tour started. oh hey the mother in law where is she Oh she’s having nanny lesson’s bc she couldn’t look after own daughter according to Thomas. Just another day in the life of the Sussex’s.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

It’s ALL drama, ALL the time. I have great admiration for the BP feed, which is heroically trying to focus on what little substance this tour has.

The KP feed is also doing a good job. If it weren’t for the endless drama, this would be a boring, but decent tour. The drama, however, is burying everything.

Got sugars messaging me saying this tour is the best ever because they have none stop press and Meghan works and puts charities first. Like i’m done what charities have they even visited does anyone know?

anonymoushouseplantfan:

The Bondi beach charity is the only one that has gotten any press at all, and that’s because they really put on a show. Flying Doc got a little press because of the childbirth demo, but got buried under banana bread news. Kudos to both charities for really trying to get their names out there.

I think that’s it. She met with the Kookaburra Kids yesterday, but that got buried under “pacing herself” news. The indigenous school got embargoed and no one paid any attention to it because of the banana bread. They had lunch at a place that also helps the indigenous, but I didn’t even catch the name, just the menu ingredients. The rest of the events were not charities, just “programs” at different places–Formula 1 something, inclusion whatever at the girls’ school she visited, and something about microgreens. There was so little attention paid to any of these events that I don’t even remember the names of the programs or much about what they did. Oh, wait, there was the rugby Girls Can program. I do remember that name, but mostly because it was so ironic in light of the fact that Meghan couldn’t throw that ball.

The sugars are desperately trying to spin her crap fashion into “seriousness” and “work focus,” but it’s ridiculous because the only thing Meghan is promoting is herself–her pregnancy (binders, comments, presents, belly-thrusting), her relationship (constantly escalating pda), her culinary skills (banana bread, food events), her celeb friends (Serena and Gillian Anderson clothes). You need a magnifying glass to even notice any of the charity work.

I have to say it is offensive to me to watch these two moronic attention whores play act their adolescent selves through memorial services. Remembrance seems very important even sacred to me as one who has family members who died in both the wars. Remembrance is a duty to remind us of the horror of war. And the idiot merches tacky clothes whilst laying the wreath. It is offensive. Better an honest Corbyn and republic than these fakes.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Emily Andrews was praising them for not making out during the memorial. LOLOLOL, the standards are so low for these two.

https://twitter.com/byEmilyAndrews/status/1053466542262943744

Can you make sense of Harry’s speech for me? Perhaps I was too tired to be watching it but it seemed quite self-serving and poorly written in parts, almost pitting the past generation of servicemen & women against this present one? And don’t even get me started on the shout-out to Meghan at the end.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Oh, KP tweeted a posed pic of Meghan watching him rehearse. I rolled my eyes so hard at that.

https://people.com/royals/prince-harry-invictus-games-speech-practice-meghan-markle/

The games are all about Harry and Meghan now. 

I don’t really get the speech either. It almost sounds like a goodbye speech, but there’s another Invictus in the Netherlands. This isn’t the last one. 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6297403/Prince-practises-Invictus-Games-opening-ceremony-speech-wife-Meghan.html

I feel like they both now pivoting to “community building,” maybe that’s why he’s talking about the “Invictus family,” instead of, you know, actually mentioning the individual athletes and their stories. 

All the people gushing over Kate have just now realized how fucking bad it can get with Meghan and her Dimwit lmao Everything they criticized her for ist trivial now

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Including me! Two years ago I would have been nitpicking Kate’s outfit with “why did she wear a dark color like burgundy to a celebratory event?” Now I’m all “OMG, color, yes!!!” because at least it’s not black.

Do you think femininity hate is a western thing? Thus, the reason of overwhelming hatred towards a feminine child like Sansa? In my country, feminine attributes n skills are expected from females since we are children. Women who have these attributes n skills are considered a great catch. It is normal to be a housewife. Hence, no one will hate an individual who wants to be a housewife.There are negative aspects of it. For instance, women are expected to give up their careers for their family.

wendynerdwrites:

Maybe? The thing is, both ideas are problematic. And it’s more about traditionally masculine things being considered better or stronger than feminine ones and women being “better” for being “not like other girls.” I honestly cannot answer this. But misogyny seems to be a mainstay in nearly every culture… so probably not. Even if a woman is considered better for being domestic, that doesn’t mean domestic skills are considered as important or valued and it is still steeped in regressive gender roles. It’s not “women’s work” that is the problem in and of itself, it is a) considering it “women’s” work in the first place and b) considering it less “cool” or “valid” as, say, being able to change a tire.

Giving up your career is still a big red flag. A lot of women here are expected to, if not give up their career, still put family above that and also still be the primary caregiver, which is just as sexist.

I should note that women in America are still expected to take on the lion’s share of domestic work regardless of whether or not they work. And that just sucks. Maybe “not like other girls” isn’t as prevalent in the East, but 1) I can’t say for sure and 2) that doesn’t mean there aren’t a dozen other sexist attitudes to take its place. But you’re asking a gauche American. All I would really have to ask is: are such skills as valued in men as they are in women? If not… yeah, we still definitely have a problem.

Sad thing, too, because domestic skills are just… you know… being useful. We should just encourage everyone to be as useful as possible.

Oops Plant to clarify I meant are we still confident of our suspicions of the Xanax popping prior to pregnancy announcement. For eg. 6 Sep Peace Gala engagement with the JWu bump illusion dress and the strange eyes. She would have been about 6 weeks+ then. And def known she was preggers. People having ivf (I was one) don’t forget to check, they’re peeing on sticks as soon as or even before the 2WW is up. I mean, reviewing the last couple of weeks, did she make any effort to conceal the smug?

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Oh, that makes more sense.

Day of Wonder: Celebrate Wonder Woman This Sunday, October 21



For over 75 years, Wonder Woman has stood tall as a source of inspiration to people all throughout the world.

The most recognized and beloved female superhero in history
, Princess Diana of Themyscira has blazed an impressive trail from the pages of comic books to the upper echelons of popular culture. With her distinctive red, blue and gold costume and iconic Lasso of Truth, she represents the same qualities in her adventures on page and on screen—justice, peace and equality. 

She is a symbol of empowerment for all. While Diana may have been raised among the Amazons, she’s far more than just a warrior. She’s ambassador for peace who champions love and compassion.

Wonder Woman reminds us that there are no restrictions on what we’re capable of—no limits to what we can accomplish, no quotas when it comes to helping others, no compromise on justice and the equality of all. 

Diana embodies what it means to be a hero in these modern times. She possesses the strength and endurance to tackle any challenge, holds the unwavering belief that people can be better than they often are and uses truth as her most vital weapon.

Wonder Woman inspires all of us. That’s why this Sunday, October 21, on the day of her very first appearance in ALL STAR COMICS #8, we’re honoring Diana with a Day of Wonder. This is a day to celebrate all things Wonder Woman, from your favorite Wonder Woman comics, to the indescribable feeling you get when you watch the “No Man’s Land” sequence in the 2017 blockbuster film, to the most unforgettable line in the 1977 TV show’s theme song.

Taz and all of his four-legged colleagues of the United Nations specialized K-9 Unit, are doing a great job checking vehicles, meeting rooms, packages and anything else needed. K-9 Unit dogs are highly trained by UN security officers for the detection of explosives and firearms.

Thanks to our furry colleagues and their handlers for all they do to keep us safe!

I cannot express how excited I am to see Prince Philip be given the Pixar treatment. www(.)youtube(.)com/watch?v=1EezOE9WtvU

sea-dukes-assistant:

I’m interested in this but also cynical and think more than likely they’ll have him be overly dramatic, exaggeratedly grumpy, and “whiny.”  Because he’s everyone’s favorite royal punching bag.

Also, WTF HE DOESN’T EVEN WEAR PAJAMAS.

Not actually a Pixar movie though.

lol Plant, why are you questioning the stupidity of wearing a coat over a caped dress? Have you forgotten who we’re talking about here? This is the woman who wore stilettos on a polished wood (gym) floor, wore all black to meet sick children, and who thought a mesh and feathered dress with strategic sequin placement was appropriate for a royal engagement photoshoot! She’s not the brightest bulb going around.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Good point.

One source tells me it isn’t that the duchess is feeling poorly, but they’re trying to ‘pace’ her given how many engagements are coming up. The couple are due to undertake 76 on the 16-day tour. It is unlikely Meghan will do many engagements on Fraser Island due to the terrain

anonymoushouseplantfan:

That makes sense because once she shows up for the tour knocked up, you have to adjust, but, man, this was horrible planning on their part. 

https://twitter.com/RE_DailyMail/status/1053812695970000896

And it’s not the first time they do this to the BRF. It’s the Kensington statement all over again.

right what did Meghan think was going happen ?! she’s 4mth pregnant and going around like the energiser bunny .her body is telling her now to slow the fuck down .

keepingupwiththebananadrama:

She thought she had the stamina. Uh….NO you dont sweetheart. She has freakishly thin legs and no muscle definition, so carrying a child will drain you faster than a normal 5’4 woman. She also doesn’t come off as the healthiest person despite what she said on her blog. I’m willing to bet her body has been telling her to slow the hell down since before the wedding, but she thinks she superwoman and has to prove people wrong. You cant do that crap when it involves another human being.

Oh, you can do that crap. It just catches up with you in different ways. 

I don’t think the change in the schedule has anything to do with the baby fatigue she looks remarkably energized no signs of fatigue. I think they are getting such bad feedback but Harry is still the star they are going to give him solo engagements to calm the waters. I guarantee there is panic among the staff and Harry dimwit. Damage control ASAP.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

There’s always panic when Thomas speaks to the press. It’s the one thing that rattles her.
