An Underwater Fashion Show c.1947

Most of us know what it’s like to accidentally drink an entire bottle of wine but wouldn’t it be great if we could all be adorably funny when we’re drunk? (I’m looking at you Reese Witherspoon).

Mommy To Be Doll: They Actually Made That!?

So this exists: “Judith”, the Mommy To Be doll which hit toy shelves in 1991 and looks uncomfortably similar to all my old Barbies— except she hosts a tiny plastic person inside her removable stomach.

13 Things I Found on the Internet Today (Vol. XV)

1. The River House This magical little place is a Derwish monastery or Tekke on the Buna river, 10 kilometers from the southern Bosnian town of Mostar.
