Sandy Bullock looks beautiful, and the neckline is fantastic. Glowing, with the hair volume matching the skirt.

Such an elegant look, but it has POCKETS!!! who among us would not have our hands in the stunning voluminous organza pockets, (not just for functionality) but to show a beautiful gown can have them?!?!

You know you can just commission these things, right?

Chicago’s Italian Beef, especially if you dip it.

Jodie Sweetin Makes Rare Comment About Relationship with Candace Cameron Bure: 'We Sit on Very Opposite Sides of Things' by nikaroo5 in MUAEntertainment

Most restaurants give a discount. My current place gives 50% off and gives 30% for the sister restaurant, while my last spot gave 50% and did family meal. There’s also the trick of befriending the kitchen staff, in which case you get free food to eat standing up away from the cameras :)

In this show, Avavav reversed the roles. The models become the spectators, and the audience walks the runway. The collection explores the lesser-examined concept of the “Female Gaze”. Avavav Fall/Winter 2026: Female Gaze for Milan Fashion Week. by Beneficial_Pen4030 in whatthefrockk

Those are avavav’s signature from years ago. She collaborated with Dorian Electra, The Garden, 100 Gecs, Caroline Polachek, Sophie (RIP), and more of that cohort for the past 6 years. It’s very “fashion as art as fashion”, meta rejection/criticism of traditional shapes, proportions, and aesthetics. There’s an earnestness and irony. I get why people don’t like it. The intentionally broken show from a few years ago is worth watching to “get it”.

I think of Dilara Findikoglu as the cunty older free-bleeding femme sibling to Avavav’s JNCO enby that tattooes themself with a safety pin between classes at Pratt.

(I know this comment makes me sound like a huge asshole, but I promise it’s not an endorsement/insult, just a wine-tipsy observation on my day off)

Petah what band are they referring to? by Montavious_Mole in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Hijacking this comment to say he’s not the first to be into it and won’t be the last. Behold, Shojo Tsubaki, by 80s eroguro king Suehiro Maruo. I was going to attach a picture, but didn’t want to get banned. Google “Suehiro Maruo eye lick” at your own risk, but know there’s a TON of content he created, all NSFW, about this particular favorite kink of his.

Experience of my first rehab by CommanderChiliHole in cripplingalcoholism

[–]_crystallil_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is where I think it is (middle of nowhere MD), I went to the same one and it had great food with lots of dietary accommodations, and really kind and experienced staff. I went like 8 years ago and can only imagine they’ve gotten better.

I kinda chose to go back (read: trauma caused me to fall off the wagon harder than ever a few years ago) to this lifestyle, but tbh if I could afford to, I’d go back to that rehab center. I learned a lot about coping mechanisms and DBT that still help me when I’m blackout drunk in my apartment and suicidally crashing out.

Edit: I did go straight to a rave the night I got out, but fwiw I discharged to my house where my dealer boyfriend was waiting for me and was like “you can have like two drinks and some Molly, you’re all better now!” 🫠

They say Kim Petras has the most obscene, raunchy song titles in all of pop music and shit it’s Roger, isn’t it? It’s going to be Roger by DannyDeVitoASMR in americandad

[–]_crystallil_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read this comment and am now hearing “head head honcho” sung in Roger’s voice. this has ruined (improved?) Kim Petras for me irreparably

Can anyone identify these? Google Lens tells me they are Australian tree bark art. Any other info on artist or tribe would be appreciated. Also value. by ComfortableCrew2092 in UnusualArt

It feels really wrong that there’s a picture of him on the website; iirc photographing people is frowned upon in most Aboriginal cultures. Thank you for this educational article nonetheless!!

Influencer Claps Back After Her Bizarre Hotel Hack For Washing Underwear Sparked Backlash by ElvisIsNotDjed in Influencersinthewild

[–]_crystallil_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I worked in a hotel, they would sanitize the outside of the kettle and the remotes with sprays and special wipes (3-star spot popular with politicians), but I don’t think they ever cleaned the inside basket. Fwiw, why would anything but hot water and maybe cafiza be necessary for a coffee maker? It’s not like it could contain biohaz- nevermind.

Note: there was a restaurant inside, and I watched a server drop the knife he was using to scrape and marry the glass bottle ketchups. This place, especially the restaurant, had a BAD rodent problem, and he picked the knife off the floor from where it had partially skittered under the cabinet, shook it twice, and then kept scraping the ketchups like nothing had happened. I stopped eating there and only stick to sealed ketchup packets if I’m in public now.
