The original article set all this up by describing them in neutral terms until the last sentence where it describes her tattoos as "trashy." This is the 21st century, FFS, it would be more surprising if a young woman her age didn't have multiple tattoos. (Except models for professional reasons.) Plus her shoes are amazing.

QuoteMingSubu Quotedmay Am curious. How does Jack White have all phone pouches unlock immediately after the show ends? On another note, why don't the performers just ask folks to put their phones away and flick their Bics at the end of the show? Am sure many here flicked a Bic more than once in their time. As you leave the venue, they swipe the pouch over a magnet. And it literally just

I've been to multiple Jack White shows, and he has people put their phones in a pouch which is then locked--they keep it with them, and it's then unlocked in one second after the show (a lot of comedians do this too)--and the difference is unreal. Everybody is totally in the moment instead of looking at it through a screen, the artists aren't looking into the crowd and just seeing

Side note--Emma and Leylah were both at the Met Gala tonight, along with several other players. Venus looked pretty amazing!

QuoteDGA35 Congrats to Emma, I think Leylah was just too tired from her 4 previous games beating all the top players in 3 sets. Her serving was poor today and was a big contributor to her loss. Emma is actually born in Toronto and Leylah in Montreal so in a way 2 Canadians in the finals. Hey Captain Teague, who are you referring to about the British player? I don't follow tennis too mu

I was listening to Big Hits tonight (High Tide and Green Grass--I completely missed the puns until now . . . ), and reading Oldham's blurb-- "The drums were always Charlie Watts." Yes, I know they were occasionally Jimmy Miller, etc., but in every way that mattered, the drums were always Charlie.

No words. Except, nobody could swing like Charlie. He will be so missed.
