Someone on IG tried to play the Princess has cancer card in response to my saying she got extensions. Bitch, please. My mom died from metastatic breast cancer. My mother's wig was better than this current PoW situation, and my mom certainly didn't have access to that kind of money or healthcare.

I still think the layers below the crown are a combination of extensions and her real hair. Mary has been telling her clients for years that if they want the classic Kate Middleton hair pre-Covid era they would need extensions. Regardless, it is a horrible look: I'd gladly send her to Mary to fix it

Paging @mostlymartha.bsky.social and @pattinichols.bsky.social I do think they are the most poorly done extensions I've ever seen. The color is atrocious on her. If you don't want to deal with gray hair, fine, but this is not the correct shade of blonde for her!

As someone who is allergic to a lot of meds, I hope they figure something out soon for your pain. So, could you eat bluebonnets if necessary?

The Duchess of Kent is not PMOK. The Duchess actually stopped using her title and taught music to kids. Sigh. PMOK is still with us.

My favorite time of year is when it is temperate enough that one needs neither the heat on nor the AC on.

I have a very odd question. How does the fabric feel? Does it make you get hot? I try and buy cotton whenever possible, but it looks like their skirts are 95% polyester. Their products look fantastic, but I'm going through menopause and breathable fabrics are a must.

I loved The Calculating Stars! I immediately thought of your love for The Right Stuff. I can't decide if you'd like it. The author had to take a few liberties with the timeline, but she's able to support that change with her notes at the end of the book.

Senior Sunrise was a success. The Teen has an old digital camera and all of her classmates are obsessed with it and beg her to take their picture. She convinced the principal to have his photo taken holding up the Senior Sunrise poster board frame she made.

I finished up Mary Robinette Kowal's book The Calculating Stars last night. Neither Libby nor Hoopla have the sequel, and I refuse to buy an ebook on Amazon for $12.99. I found it on Barnes & Noble for $6.99 for the ebook, and while not ideal, at least I get to finish the series.

The algorithm is wild. I saw this and then started scrolling IG and saw a reel of her self tanning, dyeing, and then combing the Bigfoot tattoo!
mcakotp (@mcakotp.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm so offended that a stylist allowed her to walk out the door like that! I know plenty of brunette Southern ladies who decided to go blonde because they didn't want to keep up with dying their gray roots, but go with a tone that suits your skin tones!
mcakotp (@mcakotp.bsky.social) reply parent
She has access to obscene wealth, and that's the best her stylist can do? You can get a head full of custom K-tips down the block for like $2,000. I will never understand when someone with access to that sort of money ends up with a poorly done hair service.
mcakotp (@mcakotp.bsky.social)
My stylist Mary's best friend was also a stylist. Heather specialized in extensions. Heather died a year ago, and I'm so mad she's not hear to discuss the extentions the PoW is sporting. I know Heather is rolling in her grave at that poorly done color match.

I just saw a BTS of Gleb and Hilaria filming a TT and she's still got the Latin thing down, which gives her a huge advantage come ballroom time because she understands hold. I'm not a fan, but credit where credit is due. Also, I pray Team Pepino goes home early!

He believes that he should be waited on hand and foot at all times. He waited a whole five minutes before calling me. They have wristband style call buttons, so the nursing staff was already aware. He just wanted me to yell at someone, which I won't do. Thank you.

OFFS. My father just called because he asked the nurse to delay giving him his meds. The nurse agreed and went to help the other residents. He called me because he's changed his mind and wants his meds now and wants me to call the concierge desk. He is the most entitled human.

The nice thing about my dad's PCP is that it is a block from the assisted living facility. It is a steep incline, but damn, it was so beautiful out there today. Dad saw his first Waymo, and he got to see the latest Corvette. Dad is a car guy, so it was an A+ outing for him.

I know very little about her other than she has a ton of babies and purports to be of Spanish extraction, I believe, but forgot the Spanish word for cucumber. I have learned she used to be a competitive ballroom dancer, and the DWTS fans are big mad about that!

We need to replace the sofas in our den and living room. We don't want the cats to tear them up, so the spouse bought a Cattasaurus scratcher to use before the big purchase. Dani DGAF has gone in several times, and KitKat has checked it out. Pig can't fit and he's devastated. Snickers is very meh.

I'm really good at stain removal and laundry. Buying sustainable clothes is the ideal, and if you can't afford those then the best way to maintain your Old Navy shirts is to only wash them when visibly dirty or when they smell, then wash them on the coldest/ gentlest cycle appropriate & hang to dry!

We have lived in our house for 21 years. Our AC unit is 43 years old. We have had the two highest electric bills ever in the last two months. Going through menopause means I have to have the AC at 73°. I cannot stand it above that. We might have to suck it up and replace it this fall.
