The sad thing is, Kim Kardashian can't wear that dressโthe dress wears her. And from the photos, it appears you don't get that "naked" effect at all.
In contrast, Marilyn Monroe was ravishing in it, and practically shook the rafters of creation. It was the amen of fashion.

Hate to be wimpy, but the juxtaposition here is so disturbing to my heart. I want to put my arms around Harpo and take him as far away from that bloated bag of swill and shite as possible. Harpo was a sweet, funny, treasure of a human being. He wore everything better. โค๏ธโค๏ธ๐ญโค๏ธโค๏ธ

CBS needs to consider who its news audience is. (It sure isn't those who vote GOP.) Such a dumb move, there must be some ulterior motive. My viewing of CBS will now be limited to Stephen Colbert.

It's the adults who act like babies, & their kids pick up an attitude from them. Most kids are pretty adaptable, esp. w/a positive attitude from adults, rather than irritation/negativity. Here, the adult neg.attitude is fueled by politics & news charlatans who've sold their souls

Not sure about that. A comma would distance it from "camp," which it is modifying, thus suggesting an even stronger ref to "fire."
I think the problem is the word "started." "Founded" would have been betterโor something similar that is not normally linked with "fire."

Cindy Crawford is trending, & so far I haven't noticed anyone mentioning her fantastically fun 1993 Vanity Fair cover & photo shoot with k.d. lang. It caused a minor uproar. I thought it was a kick & a half, & still have my copy somewhere. ๐๐ป

My dad was a pathologist (among other things) & told me this from the time I was little. I had an elderly aunt, born in the 19th c., who insisted "You have street shoes & house shoes. That's very important." ๐บ๐ท๐ Of course, whole cultures (like the Japanese) go for shoes off.

Back in late '60s & '70s, lots of young women said FU to bras. I think I went 10 yrs owning a single bra, & wore it maybe 10 times. (Look at films from the earlyโmid 1970s, like Jane Fonda's KLUTE, & you can what was rather common.) I still hate bras. Wear only comfy sports ones.
This is a Trump campaign rally, not a celebration of America for all Americans, & HE should pay for it. I'll be watching a film about a real American, Ron Kovic, in Oliver Stone's "Born on the 4th of July." Another film too.
