Her nickname was "the Viennese teardrop" because she was SO good at those suffering, self-sacrificing roles— she made her characters seem powerful in spite of their passivity. I can't think of many today who could pull that off (Meryl Streep, maybe). Read more

I've heard this suggested a lot in the past, but I'm glad it's being researched. I'm not surprised, though. Read more

I'd rather have the lesser but far more valuable holdings of the Duke of Northumberland or Buckingham. Those fuckers owns SWATHS of Belgravia and other prime areas of London. "Rolling in it" doesn't begin to describe it. And the Rothschilds still have the most beautiful estates. Read more

Are those vacuums actually worth the expense, Jezzies? Our vacuum is old and will need to be replaced soon but I'm not sure a super fancy one would be necessary since our whole house minus two bedrooms is hardwood and tile. Maybe a roomba instead? Read more

I love the Dyson bladeless fan. So as far as I am concerned, he should be king of the world. Read more

I'm just going to post this on every NYE post today.

my friend invited me out for NYE and i am like, already v antisocial in general- NYE is like...my idea of hell. it's cold. i am OBLIGATED to look cute. going anywhere, especially home, is an impossible shitshow. Read more

I hate New Years Eve, but I feel compelled to go out. I can't explain it. I should just try to get over it and stay in with The Twilight Zone marathon. Read more

That was the case until 2010, when Radmacher v Granatino was heard and the Supreme Court upheld the prenuptial agreement. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-115809… They were careful to limit the decision so as not to recognise a blanket right to have prenuptial agreements upheld, but the door has been opened.

I am loving this look! This is totally what I will wear when taking my oligarch to the cleaners :-)

If I remember right, the UK doesn't recognize prenuptial agreements. That's why a lot of divorcees try to get their case heard there. The UK is trying to discourage this, because there are tons of people with little connection to the UK trying to get divorced there. EU laws make this hard to stop. Read more

Ooohh sign me up for the I Want to Divorce Harry reality show! Read more

When I worked the Christmas shift at the video store (and it was a double), I would play Salo, Showgirls and Teen Witch all day, followed by TWO encore presentations of Cats. Read more

I appreciate the subversive ones more.

My mother-in-law sent us one this year for Lil' Potter, she could care less about it. I managed to remember long enough to shove it in my sock drawer last night. I can't imagine spending that much time setting up a scene. We're German so I think that maybe we'll start doing Krampus instead. Read more

My friend wanted to get me one and it was like, 30 bucks. I was, like, "word? seriously?"
