Anyone who did not reference a bed or sleeping has failed the brief. Lana del Ray and Lizzo won this round. Rihanna would've if she attended.
I always feel for Kim. Imagine if you heard her life story out of context, she has undergone the most horrific pregnancy experiences (to the point where she was told she could have died and would if she got pregnant again), she has been held up at gunpoint while naked and feared for her life, she dealt with Kanye for years...if she wasn't rich and famous, anyone would be empathetic towards her.
'Show me a popstar with a squeaky clean rap sheet'.
Just the thing I needed to see today. What an absolute queen!!
@nopenopenope11 Agree, I often wore my school skirt but I also wore pants. There were official uniform pants but no one wore them, everyone wore the 'FaceOff' pants in the school colour (navy blue). This was a constant across all public schools in the 2000s, these pants were fashionably flared, available at every shopping centre and in a range of uniform-appropriate colours (black, grey etc.). Judging by girls today, they're still around. Most schools allow them even though not part of the uniform as they're plain and comfortable. It's ridiculous to demand girls to wear a skirt when in any other professional context, they wouldn't have to!
@mamamia-user-482898552 agreed. Taking your baby to a performance for adults is not a human right.
@lorrae84 I believe the mother mentioned to press that she was breastfeeding at the time she was asked to leave to further the narrative of outrage. Obviously Arj couldn't have seen she was breastfeeding from the stage.
Love this! I got into swimming about 5 years ago and one thing I've found to be great for my self-image is using the change rooms. Just feeling comfortable to be naked around other naked women without it being a huge deal, no one has a perfect body but we've all been loving our bodies through exercise. It's made me look at my body as a 'doing' living thing rather than an object to be observed. Next stop is a nudie beach one day!
@mamamia-user-482898552 But you can't reverse the genders in this situation, how could a mother not be involved in the birth of her own child? You would more similarly compare it to very real situations of fathers who take their children to other countries and then keep them there, forcing the mother to have to campaign to bring the child home. You are criticising this man for 'simply turning up' as if he was a deadbeat dad, when actually he was going to lose the baby completely through adoption and made a lot of effort to prevent this.
Watching Jack's 'flirtatious' side come out when he talked to Jade was the most revolting, cringe thing I've ever seen. When he said 'Juicy Jade...Jade Christine...' as he slurped on a saucy hot chip, I almost threw up!
'Pierre Kerr Speigel' the poor child!
I think Tori must have a personal history of someone close to her repeatedly telling her 'you're nothing', because she took it very personally and way overreacted to that particular comment. It's an insult you throw out when you can't think of anything more specific and targeted to say, so I think it must be a personal trigger for her.
There's a great BBC show on Britbox called 'Karen Pirie' which shows the interplay between true crime and investigation. Karen is tasked with re-opening a cold case after a true crime podcast begins to cover it. The podcaster at times helps the investigation and at times actively harms it, resulting in the murder of at least one suspect after she reveals his identity. The way Karen has to work with the podcaster, even though she doesn't want to, because of the very real impact the podcast is having on public knowledge and perception, is fascinating!
2 points:
Ash is definitely the right man to be in this scenario, his eyebrows are a gift to fans and recappers alike, so expressive!
It's a bit of an odd comment for an 8-year old to say (particularly use of the word 'chubby'). It sounds more like something she overheard an older person say and repeated in order to seem older and more mature. I know I said all kinds of daft things at that age that were based on things I'd overheard older kids/ adults say, I didn't always understand the meaning or context. Instead of reflexively saying 'don't say that', I think it'd be more helpful to ask 'why do you say that?' Because her reason might be very informative.
Surely the 'getting fatter' serves as a visual demonstration of the consequences of greed? Not necessarily that being fat = bad, but that greed has consequences and you can't hide bad actions forever, you'll eventually be caught out.
@mamamia-user-917485971 It's 16 with your partner's age plus/minus 2 years, so it is definitely illegal for a 21 yr old to sleep with a 16 yr old.
No one should be mocked for having fun in a lame way at their birthday party, completely agree!
Re 1. Statement belts. One of the best hacks I found is to get those chain belly dancer belts with coins, beads etc. and wear as a statement necklace. I also had a beaded belt which I would wear wrapped around my head as a headband with a messy bun, it was a total look! And agree re jeans: buying jeans is one of the most tiresome tasks for a woman, if you find a comfy flattering cut, stick to it even if it's not trendy, you'll look much better!
