I have nothing valuable to say about fashion but I’m looking at royals at funerals. No matter how ugly the dress is, when they wear the net over their face it’s an immediate serve. I mean…

Yesterday I got to work on an old Gillian Anderson show (Any Human Heart), which was fun already. The AI kept replacing her dialogue “Judas” with “Judith” in two scenes and I don’t know why I find it hysterical but JUDITH!!

Talk about changing history. Prince Edward and Wallace Simpson changed the course of the British monarchy. Roles played by Andrea Riseborough and JamesvD' Arcy. PRINCE) EDWARD AND WALLIS SIMPSON "Edward, the handsome Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne, changed the course of his life, as well as that of British history, when he fell in love with Wallis Warfield Simpson—a woman who was not only American, but also married. Edward met Simpson at a party in 1931, hosted by Lady Thelma Furness, a viscountess with whom Edward had conducted a long relationship. Edward was not instantly smitten, but he and the upwardly-mobile Mrs. Simpson traveled in the same social circles, and after many society balls and dinner parties he was slowly captivated by her charm and poise. By 1934, Wallis was separated from her husband, and British Parliament grew increasingly nervous over the relationship. Then, in 1936, Edward's father died, and he was forced to take his position as king. But his brief stay on the throne only created a media frenzy due to his relationship with Simpson. Miserable, Edward abdicated the throne in a famous radio broadcast in which he told the world that he "found it impossible to carry the heavy burden" of being king without the support of "the woman he loved." Edward's younger brother, Albert, became King George VI, and, since the title Prince of Wales can only be held by the eldest son of the sovereign, Edward was made the Duke of Windsor. King George made sure that his brother kept the courtesy title of His Royal Highness, but he also pointedly decreed that should he marry Wallis, she (and any children they produced) would be denied royal status. After Simpson's divorce in 1937, Edward and Wallis were married in a small ceremony and spent most of the rest of their lives in France."
