so my mom needed a dress for a wedding so she went to neiman marcus and tried this on and sneaked some pictures

then she showed them to my grandmother and with almost a 50 year sewing career she made an exact replica of the dress for her

no one tops my grandma tbh

Your grandma’s dress falls better on your mum than the original one though. Kudo’s to your grandma

The King’s Singers - Masterpiece

This is possibly the most brilliant thing I’ve ever heard. They sing the name of famous composers in that composer’s style.

Not to mention that countertenor is RIDICULOUS.

ok I wasn’t going to reblog this until they imitated horns during Beethoven, that was fucking spot on.

no but women are so badass okay

because there will inevitably come a point in every woman’s life where she wakes up in a pool of her own blood and her reaction will be dammit now i have to do laundry

that is some suave superhero shit and you won’t ever be able to convince me otherwise

Stephen Fry: Can we settle an important question?
JK Rowling: Yes.
Stephen Fry: How do you pronounce your last name?
JK Rowling: It is Row-ling. As in rolling pin.
Stephen Fry: So if any of you hear someone pronounce her name “Rohw-ling”, you have my permission to hit them over the head with — not with Order of the Phoenix, that would be cruel. Something smaller, like a fridge.

BEAUTIFUL POST IS BEAUTIFUL

pkmncoordinators:

I briefly explained earlier that one of my biggest pet peeves in writing fanfiction is being told my style is wrong, as though what I’ve written is a typo or grammatical error. So, I wanted to elaborate more on style in fanfiction, or really, just fiction writing in general. Now, I don’t mean style in the sense of voice or delivery. I mean style in the sense of mechanics.

Should ages be numerical?: 10-years-old or ten-years-old?

Is it ‘OK’ or ‘Okay’?

Do I write today’s date as 19 April, 2013 or April 19th, 2013?

These sort of questions apply to the Pokemon fandom, too.

Do I capitalize the ‘city’ in “Goldenrod City?” Or do I leave it lowercase?

Does Co-ordinator have a hypen in it, or do we spell it Coordinator?

Is it Elite 4 or Elite Four?

Ok, I want to get rid of some fable: the morning after pill

It is NOT a good substitute for normal anti-conception medication. Besides a higher risk of getting pregnant (though I would call an 95% elimination chance in 12 hours not really high) the stuff is dangerous.

I talked to the clerk at the drugstore. Said it was better to take it now than have a problem in 9 months. She said: do you use it regularly? I responded with no I don’t: I just started the pill again and it’s just for safety reasons.

She replied; Well, you can only use it 5 times in your life. It is a drug that will fuck up your womb if used too much. It is aggressive, which explains the dizzyness, the nausea, the cramps and the tiredness. 

So, I was suitably scared. (Of course, if I use it only once I am good…I can deal with 2 days of crap)

So here’s my advice: if you intend on having sex, use proper contraceptive. Use condoms, and if your partner doesn’t want to (and is SOA free) use either the pill, a birth control ring, or ask if you can have some long term protection at your doctors.
