I'm not so sure, Harry and Pippa seem more compatible than ever:

Not to be outdone by her brother... (not going to post that, as it's more NSFW than Pippa's, but links can definitely be found in the margins on Buzzfeed)

My Mom was saying at the wedding that her sister seemed like a good match for Harry. I guess more than she knew...

I thought the same too, when I saw them together.
I must say, it seems the people in that family have remarkable arses.

Yep yep. Genes, occasionally throwing in some eye-candyish features.

Oh, my past few posts have made for such frivolous banter.
Time to up the ante once again, Biggles.

I heard about the mouse thing before actually. Hey, they have to woo the lady mice somehow.

----------

Personally, on the blue vs. Pink thing I don't think blue is a very masculine color anyways. At least, not pastel blue.

Hmm, I can't decide whether I like John Haskell King or W.B. Hazen better for best facial hair.

I believe I once heard that in Stuart period, that it was the norm for male infants to be swaddled in red blankets, as it was seen as a vibrant and virile colour (and keep in mind that for many centuries, pink was not truly considered to be a separate colour from red), and that female infants were wrapped in light blue ones, as it was a soft and pure colour.

I ended up voting for the mutton chops. In modern men, I find well groomed, somewhat subtle sideburns very sexy, but there's something so whimsical about muttonchops that I really enjoy...

Stay classy, Middletons. :lol:

The bit on baby clothing colors is interesting. The whole idea of certain colors being for certain genders is ridiculous. But honestly, I think it's slowly going away. Of course no one thinks twice if a girl wears blue (maybe as a baby, but not as a toddler or beyond), and it's becoming more and more acceptable for men to wear pink shirts. Once it becomes fully acceptable for men to wear pink shirts, in society's eyes, hopefully people can then dress their babies however they want without other people accusing them of ruining the child.

Did you see that thing recently about the woman who painted her son's nails pink in ad for something and faced a lot of criticism as a result? The kid asked her to, it wasn't even like she was forcing femininity on him. And, really, there's nothing wrong with a feminine guy. Anyone can be just as "masculine" or "feminine" as they like. I don't understand what the big deal is. Or rather, I do understand what the problem is - homophobia. Rather, I don't understand homophobia.

Homophobia is a strange little beast.

Yeah, i heard they used to do that too. Personally, so many babies look the same that I think some parents might just want to let the world know their kid is indeed such-and-such a gender.

I know I was mistaken for a boy sometimes as a wee bairn, which pissed my mum off. But from the photos, it seems she also had a habit of dressing me in blue, so I don't know who really was at fault there :lol:

I never got mistaken for a boy, but then I think they were overwhelmed by the fact there was three of us, all different ages.
"My, you have your hands full, don't you?" was a common refrain. No comments how cute we all were, apparently. Azure got that, but only because she was 5 years older.

Why? Why do I always end up watching the Kentucky Derby? As a horse lover, it depresses me so.

Sorry, the only word I could make out was "French." :lol: But it's a weird font, so I guess it could say "Tench"... Not that that's a word or anything.

Wait, needs more fancy.

Theeeeeere.

That's actually the guy behind the counter's handwriting. Though it actually looks a lot like mine.
I keep trying to steal my great-great-grandfather's pocket watch, but my mum is having none of it.

A pocket watch would be so neat, but I'm settling for my regular wrist watch. Sometimes I look at it as if I'm late something...because I probably am. :ninja:

Plus, it's the source of the international wrist tapping signal "dude, we have to go now"

I like not wearing a watch because it makes it even more ridiculous if I look at my wrist and exclaim "whoa, look at the time, gotta go," and I'm all about being ridiculous.

I don't wear them generally. But once I get a-hold of great-great grandaddy's I intend to have it on my person at all times.

I'm familiar with that story.
Blurg, because the dinner I ate isn't sitting well in my stomach. Blurg, because for the third time in three months, my dad is in hopital. And to add insult to injury, my drink leaked all over my beloved Tess of the D'urbervilles.

Uhmmm... take some pepto, and the book can be replaced for $4 at amazon (or free if you have a kindle)! Is your dad okay? :(

My Mom loves Tess of D'Ubervilles, but I haven't gotten around to reading it. i actually own a copy though. Maybe I'll read it this summer. I tried to read Anna Karenina a couple of summers ago but couldn't get through it.

I hope your dad feels better soon!
