'I had three vintage dresses'

As a companion piece to 'You had on the dress...'

Entertainment Tonight via YouTube: Caitríona Balfe Shares Outlander SECRETS with Pluribus' Karolina Wydra | Creator to Creator

KW: I remember when you were going to the test and we had those like three dresses and…

CB: I had three vintage dresses. 

KW: Three vintage dresses.

CB: I said, ‘Which one do I wear?’ ‘Which one will I wear in this?’

Well the dress the two of you picked out clearly was the right one since Sam is still talking about it 13 years later.

And, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, Sam shows up with Instagram stories.

Quite late in the UK, isn't it?

And naturally... the private account gets tagged.

LOL

I literally just wrote about the shrinking time gap between innuendos, and here comes Sam’s turn to join the party.

I understand they seem to have a very strong need this week to prove there’s something real between them, which ironically only proves the opposite, but here’s some free advice for whoever is managing this circus: when you want to share something funny with someone close to you, you simply send it to them privately. That’s the normal thing normal people do.

But it’s fine, keep acting as if none of us have ever been in a relationship and have no idea how people behave in one.

Less is more, people.

[lallybroch-pr-watch]

I see I’m late to the party, and honestly, there isn’t much left to add beyond what’s already been said.

I do find it interesting that she has now decided to fully drop the mask and stop pretending this is a “business account,” because unless penguins are the newest addition to the therapeutic farm in Cork, there is absolutely no professional reason for that story.

I also find the shrinking time gap between these innuendos very interesting. After all, it was only a few days ago that she tried to convince us there are dogs that grow into completely different dogs, accompanied by the soundtrack of a man who could be anyone, but who we’re clearly meant to think is Sam. And we’re meant to think he made the effort to visit her during his free time.

Is this shrinking gap in any way connected to his tan and the sighting of his co-star at an airport in a coastal town in Spain around the same time everyone assumed he was on vacation? Asking for a friend.

And thank you again to Steph for answering everyone on Tumblr who wondered whether you’d be at the event on Sunday by following the event’s account that, for reasons still unclear, was even created in the first place. The communication here is getting so direct that eventually we might all become friends.

So as a potential friend, I’ll defend her for a second from everyone who thinks she’s simply trying to steal his thunder. I have absolutely no doubt that everything she posts is done with his knowledge, with his approval, and probably even at his request, as part of her job.

If so, it's the cheapest, stupidest innuendo ever.

IG 🎥 Living Paintings Charity

[craighnadonuts]

She floats through life, a Zen adept,

A calm, enlightened soul,

Untouched by what the masses say,

In absolute control.

"I do not care," she tells "the press",

"What strangers on the screen express."

Yet hidden in the glowing dark,

She scrolls the Tumblr feeds,

Consuming every word they type,

To feed her deepest needs.

She searches for the actor name,

And measures out her share of fame.

When bloggers talk about her "peaceful" act,

And point out every fail,

She reads the bitter, biting truth,

That shatters her facade.

Exposed as every shade of fake,

Her zen begins to crack and break.

With trembling hands she flees the site,

To seek a safer space,

And posts upon her "pro" account

To save her wounded face.

A cryptic quote, a staged affair,

Designed to prove how much she doesn't care.

She craves the crowd's adoring roar,

Desiring to be blessed,

But on the blue-themed blogging site,

She simply fails the test.

For Tumblr sees right through the spin—

Where no one loves the drama queen.

[hopelostinmemories]

Too tan, or not too tan?

That is the question.

To play devil’s advocate, the lighting in M&S could make anyone look a little washed out.

And it is summer 😉

[marybhroland]

Well well… 🌞

For those who have been following along, the past few days have been rather interesting.

We had Sam appearing at a book event.

We had a new photo of Caitríona with a fan.

And, naturally, quite a few comments followed.

Particularly from those who couldn't help but notice a certain detail.

Now, of course, we are not supposed to ask questions.

We are not supposed to wonder where people have been.

We are certainly not supposed to connect dots.

And yet… almost on cue, a penguin appears on a certain Instagram story.

Funny timing.

Because if there is one thing this fandom has learned over the years, it is that distractions tend to arrive precisely when conversations start heading somewhere inconvenient.

[sgiandubh]

The plot thickens.

[marybhroland]

Well…

Do you remember when MW created her professional Instagram account?

The lengthy captions. The carefully constructed image. The constant effort to present herself as a serious professional whose work supposedly extended far beyond a certain well-known narrative.

A complete rebrand, or so we were told.

And yet, somehow, whenever that account appears on the radar, it always seems to circle back to the same place.

This time?

Penguins.

A rather curious choice.

Because, as longtime observers know, Sam and Caitríona have a very long and very specific history involving penguins.

Which makes one wonder why a supposedly professional account would suddenly choose that particular image.

Or perhaps there is nothing curious about it at all.

Perhaps the reference was chosen precisely because everyone knows what it represents.

After all, when a narrative starts losing momentum, familiar symbols have a way of reappearing exactly when they're needed.

And if we're being asked to believe that this was completely random…

well, dear readers, I have a bridge in Scotland to sell you 😌

Ahem

Something is missing, in that charity book IG story.

Apparently, the Everlasting Love Evidence did not resist the recent tanning session:

[marciabalfe]

Those two are so tanned... It looks like they've been sunbathing together...

[craighnadonuts]

By now, a certain person is looking for the address of a tanning salon. Her next photo will show tan lines.

We know the troll will jump on this and twist it according to their #silly agenda. We also know other things that should make us smile, isn't it?

And yes, of course the favorite character is the polar bear - 'apart from the penguin', of course. That did bring a grin and it was needed.

Bravo. The right thing to do. #charity

Also, this - an impromptu walk down memory lane - EIFF Gala, 2015. When things were brighter, easier and McGill was just on his maiden circus tour appearance. Very telling:

Stuart Smalley is a caring nurturer, a member of several 12-step programs, but not a licensed therapist.

[audramh]

Remind you of anyone who wrote a 12-page booklet?

How about now?

[sgiandubh]

She had two dogs in her adult life… Did Eoin also have dogs that she didn't consider hers? Could that be why she got rid of his dogs and bought others? And of the new ones, one died and the other is with her?

Why did she show a bunch of dogs? From the neighbors? From internet videos?

Dear Dogs Anon,

So many questions, so little clarity.

What do we make of this dog, then?

Yes, Madam Mao posted that on her private account on November 16, 2025. But since *urv reposted it and it further deepens the confusion, here goes. Legend on the pic was - and you can check it on the troll's blog, btw - 'on Saturdays, we watch soccer'. This might suggest this is her actual dog, after all? Then not the same dog as in the 'come 'ere' IG story video?

No ginger spots and definitely short haired. What in the name of the ever loving fuck, pardon my French and yes, pun intended?

Could this dog be the same black Lab featured on Olafur Arnalds' A Dawning official video?

One more time: if we are to believe her instant answer to our questions, one of the dogs she was 'a guardian of' crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023 and there is one dog left. But she showed us at least two different dogs, in her recent innuendo posts.

I dislike bullshit and yet, somehow find it potentially amusing, especially when it backfires. But there is worse: I absolutely despise lackadaisical bullshit.

Also, blown away by *urv inadvertently throwing her SOURCE under the bus. Again:

This is beyond ridiculous, mind you.
