celebs

people are saying that the brangelina baby will be super good looking cause of his parents. but gallery of the absurd wonders otherwise.

cate blanchett is slated to play one of the bob dylans in his biopic. seriously. i think this is genius (i say this entirely witout sarcasm). cate is a spectacular actress. but seriously. this is almost as good as larry king doing the voice of 'the ugly sister' in shrek 2.

hugh jackman just says no to waxing er... down there.

and in a major publicity ploy batwoman is now a lesbian. ...

men

men of cannes. skinny neck ties are in. and so, appt, are sideswept bangs on men. and i'm actually really surprised this gaspard ulliel looks as good as he does in a white suit. i'm not normally into those. but seriously, i wish those pants of his were baggier. eesh.

smile

+----------------- Bizarre Royal Deaths -------------------+  

Charles VIII of France was noted for his manners. On entering a tennis court at the Chateau d'Amboise, he bowed to his wife and allowed her to proceed first, but, as he raised his head from his gesture, he crashed it against a low wooden beam, fracturing his skull and killing him.  

Mithridates VI of Pontus in Asia Minor took small doses of poison throughout his life to develop a resistance should anyone try to poison him. He built up such a strong immunity that when he tried to take his own life to escape the approaching Romans, the poison he took had no effect. Instead he ordered a slave to kill him with a sword.  

Queen Eleanor, dutiful wife of Edward I of England, was so distressed to see her husband lying gravely ill after poison had set into a battle wound that she personally sucked all the poison from the wound. Her brave deed saved the King's life but killed her.  

King John of England died in an East Anglian abbey after a sumptuous banquet. The townsfolk of Lynn had just been awarded a handsome contract to supply the royal garrisons and, to repay the King, they rounded off the banquet with his favorite dessert, peaches in cider. He consumed such a great amount that he suffered violent stomach pains and died a few days later.  

Margaret, 'Maid of Norway,' was nominally declared Queen of Scotland in 1286 but it was not until 1290 that the Queen sailed from Norway to claim her new kingdom. Alas, on the journey across the North Sea, she suffered terrible seasickness and died in the Orkneys before ever setting foot on the Scottish mainland.

secrets

i think this is one of the worst things a woman can do. not just to a man, but to her child. she's using her child as leverage to get the man to stay. it's not as if therefore her child will be any less loved, or have an impoverished childhood or anything. but... also, to the man. i mean... sheesh! i haven't decided for sure yet, but i think i might feel that it's even worse than adultery. and raising a child is so tough. if he doesn't really love you, then he might not be able to stick thru it. and wat if your plan backfires and he leaves you anyway? he didn't want to be in this situation in the first place. you're forching somone who isn't ready, to be a dad. and really, you're sorta forcing yourself... if you make the decision to do this, it shows that still emotionally immature. :(

btw, i'm not like trying to attack the woman who sent in this postcard to postsecret. i'm sure she feels bad enough. i just... wanted to talk about it.

foxy!

foxy & winston. jane buck's hand screen printed paper goods. pretty. :)
