    Courtney needs some real help and a new start. She won’t get it as long as she keeps the people who use her in her life though. I feel so badly that she suffered a miscarriage. I hope one day she finds peace.

    • paleokifaru says:

      Yes she does. I had a miscarriage 8 months ago and am now in the early stages of pregnancy again. I’m very apprehensive and constantly fear another one. But not once in my two years of fertility struggles have I thought to shave my head. During this time I even had a very close friend die of cancer. I cut my very long hair above my shoulders and donated to a cancer group. A woman with long hair shaving it off as an emotional response is, in my opinion, extreme. It’s a cry for help rather than a gesture of solidarity with someone else. It’s a symptom of a larger problem that needs to be addressed and is a very obvious plea for attention.

      • Poisonous Lookalike says:

        My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage too. I tried not to think about it in subsequent ones, but it was in the back of my mind more often than I care to admit. Here’s hoping for the best for you this time out, paleokifaru!

      • paleokifaru says:

        Thank you so much for the hope and support! I really appreciate it.

      • Kath says:

        paleokifaru: As a fellow paleo girl (me in palaeontology) – I wish you all the best too.

    • Kate says:

      If the people around her ignore these cries for help, she will have a full blown meltdown. This poor woman child deserves better.

  2. Tate says:

    Why can’t we just keep them in the White House?!?

  3. minx says:

    I love POTUS and FLOTUS.
    The end.

    • Cran says:

      I think we should build a wall around the White House made from herbs, flowers, vegetables & fruit trees. That way we can keep them AND build Drumplethinskin’s wall. This will also keep Drumplethinskin out of the White House because he’ll be at McDonalds & KFC. The outermost ring will consist of beautiful, yet thorny, roses which should repel Drumplethinskin because of their beauty & thorns.

      ….and love, love Michelle’s hair in that bottom pic!

    • teacakes says:

      Same, and I’m not even American. But I think they (mainly Michelle) are probably ready to be done, they have earned a well-deserved break, come 2017 – and I hope his successor is NOT the Orange one!

      (just three months left!)

  4. Mia V. says:

    Rafaela was amazing, she suffered from racism four years ago after a loss in London, what a way to shut people up!

  5. Sabrina says:

    Tom Hiddleston has officially joined Instagram. It will be interesting to see whether he & Taylor Swift will decide to follow each other or if only one of them will follow the other.

  6. mia girl says:

    I love them both!

    And hat tip to @Jwoolman – Michelle is once again practicing her “Second Amendment right to bare arms”!

  7. teatimeiscoming says:

    Anyone have thoughts on the Rock’s “candyass” instagram? I am dying to know who was such a jerk on-set that THE ROCK (of all people!) got THAT annoyed with them. I think it was Eastwood.
    Penny for your thoughts!

  8. JFresh says:

    Lily King: bold! Well done!!!

  9. Alyce says:

    Anyone see that Trump just basically advocated that someone shoot Hillary Clinton? The man is unhinged.

    • Keats says:

      I am SO UPSET I DON’T EVEN HAVE WORDS.

    • minx says:

      He is horrifying.

    • Carmen says:

      Anyone else who said that would be in the back of a police car right now.

    • SusanneToo says:

      And of course he and his toadies are saying we misinterpreted it. Sure, we did.

    • neelyo says:

      This is so beyond anything that he must trying to be kicked out. He’s a soulless monster yes, but is he that stupid?

      Maybe he’s gone insane. I wonder what his family is thinking.

      Sorry, lots of thoughts going on.

    • teacakes says:

      why is he not being arrested? Or cautioned? Or given a strong talking-to by his handlers?

      • HappyMom says:

        I think he doesn’t have handlers or anyone advising him outside of his family because he is a narcisstic sociopath who thinks he knows it all. He’s INSANE and an a-hole. And I am writing off anyone I know IRL who actually tells me they’re supporting him.

      • Who ARE these people? says:

        I know. It seems like they keep pussy-footing around because doing anything would “be interpreted as political.” Well, dammit, the law is above the politics.

        And notice he knows exactly what he’s doing — hinting broadly enough to give a message without being specific enough to be arrested.

        He’s not crazy. He’s just bad.

      • Tiffany says:

        Apparently the Secret Service has gotten so many calls about it they took to Twitter and released a statement saying they were aware of it and will investigate.

  10. teacakes says:

    congratulations to Rafaela, that was amazing!

    (and also to Team USA for the gymnastics gold – Simone Biles is a STAR)

  11. Justjj says:

    I FREAKING LOVE RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE. Bob the Drag Queen last season, so good. So happy to see Katya coming back. Best show ever.

    That is all.
