Jinger and Lawson courting?

[nastyhobbitses]

And Jill, like Dany, will probably go completely batshit crazy in the end.

I disagree with Amy being Jon though, because Jon is awesome. Amy is Rickon, the wild child no one cares about. :lol:

As for the Lannister jokes, when the molestation scandal hit, I had to go through my tumblr to remove a snarky comment I made about Jinger and Joe going "full Lannister" once. That was awkward.

Yeah, a lot of incest jokes became a whole lot less funny after the scandal. I even hesitated about comparing Jessa to Cersei, but I decided that like Cersei, Jessa shouldn't be solely defined by her screwed up family situation and has plenty of other snark-able qualities. And as Tyrion put it on the show, her love for her family is her one redeeming quality -- well, that and her cheekbones.

Also, Priscilla is Bronn's wife from the books: a couple tacos short of a combo plate, but not an especially bad person.

There's a "rule" that in her 40s, a woman's hair shouldn't be below her shoulders, in her 50s it shouldn't be below her jawline and in her 60s+ it shouldn't be longer than her ears.

I'm in my early 50s and my hair is the longest it's ever been, 4" or 5" below my shoulders. I will never ever have one of those above the ear pixie cuts. I would not look good, my hair would not look good and my husband would hate it. He always says that he can't understand why women get that cut because they look like boys. I feel like I would de-sexualize myself.

I think short hair looks great on some people and long hair looks great on some people. Most people can pull off an in-between length. I think super short and super long are a bit tricky though. I would love it if I could pull off a "boy" haircut but with my face shape it would look awful. Of course, now the meds I'm on are making my hair fall out. So yeah...I don't really care too much about it at this point.

Game of Thrones the show is based on the book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George RR Martin. The first season follows the first book pretty closely. It's a fantasy series, but sort of Medieval fantasy? The books are interesting because they change viewpoint/narrator every chapter. I think they did a good job with the world building and characters. The plot meanders in the 4th book, imo.

I consider it a cross between LoTR and Camelot :)

I'm mid-50s and my hair is the shortest it has ever been. It's the length of an ultra-conservative fundie (Pecan Thief, for example). Since I'm not trying to look sexy for anyone, I'm happy with my hair short. It's easy, quick to care for, and I don't have to worry if the wind blows it out of place.

I've often wished for long, beautiful hair, but for me, I've found that hair below my ears weighs my face down and makes me look tired and older. Even the girl who cuts my hair (when I don't do it myself) tells me I always need to wear my hair short because it suits me.

Wow. Enough of this ego-centric post! :lol:

I wish I could send this to my long haired 80 yo mom. My dad likes long hair- Long hair, especially long, thin, fine hair on a skinny, older lady is just not flattering. It definetly pulls the face down.

LOL Poor Lollys. Actually, on that note. I'm switching Josiah to Loras and TFDW to Renly.

I like having long hair, I've pretty much always had long hair - every now and then I chop it off, but never above my chin, and then I let it grow out again. I can't see myself ever going shorter than chin-length. I quite like the idea of being one of those older eccentric ladies with long grey hair in a braid. Like a witch. :D As long as it stays healthy, anyway. My grandma and my mother were both blessed with beautiful, thick, healthy, shiny silver hair when they went grey, so I've got my fingers crossed.

I think the 'rule' about keeping your hair short after a certain age is on its way out. I think we will start seeing more and more older women with longer hair.

I always wanted long hair but early in my life realized that it's too fine and thin to really work. Plus it weighs my long face down. So at the very longest, it's chin length but it's been shorter than that for many years now.

I have no problem with older women who want to have long hair whether it flatters them or not but for me, I expect I will be one of those old ladies sporting the short spiky haircut.

[st4rfl33t]

I agree. The Arndts are one of the creepiest fundie families IMO and there is a lot of creepiness occurring in these families! Marrying into that family cannot be a good thing!

Sorry, OT and late to the party, but I'm on the Ardnt's website... and it scares me that they have a link on their page entitled "Come Like A Child"... maybe I'm a creep.. but I think it sounds weird.

[ClaraOswin]

Who are the Arndt's? I probably don't have time to fall down that rabbit hole right now (my son's nap could end at any time.) But maybe it's something I should look into later. I need more to google that just "Arndt" though.

[Fascinated]

These last few pages have been fun:

Jinger and Lawson, Game of Thrones, make-up, eyeliner, penis, flaccid peni, penis, hair (unrelated to penis), hair, hair, Arndts?

Fun Jinger and Lawson thread. :lol:

[singsingsing]

"Hey, what are you guys talking about in the Jinger and Lawson thread?"

"Flaccid penises."

I'm sure there's a thread on them in SOTDRT, but the tl:dr version--fundie, homeschooling mega family featured once on TLC. I don't remember the exact number of kids, but they only have one daughter, so the frosted lipstick wearing mom had to make her sons help out with the housework, which she felt really bad about. Dad and the adult sons make their living as court reporters. None of the kids are married though the oldest are in their 30s and they all still live at home. They have this yearly "baseball classic" thing they do to raise money. IIRC, they're the family that post pictures of the birthday kids with a cake in mom and dad's bed, yes, even the adult kids.

You gotta go down the Arndt rabbit hole. They have a bunch of videos on youtube. Just the strangest family ever. Boring, but strange. If you look under the "Families and Individuals" section to the left, you can read up on all their adventures. Let us know when you come back up for air! :wink-kitty:

[Rescinded and Mended]

I have natural highlights in my curls, and have recently started getting a few gray hairs. The entire hair turns silvery all at once, with the same natural highlights. As such, I've decided I can rock it, and want to wake up one morning when I'm 60 looking like Thranduil from The Hobbit trilogy. Go big or go home!

And we also learned that nipples and bloodlflow matter more to censors than breasts and penises.

if you make me laugh out loud, sitting alone in the living room, you get a like!

[Cheetah]

I agree...a lot of the fans are pretty terrible. It seems like it's mostly the younger people though.

Terrible how?

My 13 year old likes to watch them in order (starting with the 9th Doctor) and they are now into season 3, I think. My 10 year old occasionally will pick one out of order so we've seen a few of the Matt Smith ones as well. So far I like the 9th the best... maybe the other 2 are too young for me :-).

I love long hair on women. I especially like it when they are creative with it and sometimes wear it up or sometimes down. It's something "telling" about a person and I find it interesting. I have know many women who have gorgeous long hair and they always have it tied back, such a shame. This isn't to say that short haircuts and styles look bad, I just prefer long hair :D

Interesting, this made me think and I guess many people who know me would think of me as ALWAYS having my hair up because I tie it up before leaving the house, but *I* (who know me as my mild mannered sitting around the house in PJs self) picture myself as having long flowy out hair.

I have very long hair, like...top of my bottom, and always have had at least waist length. I'm in my late 20s and since my teens have been waiting for that urge to cut off my "little girl hair" and have "grown up hair" like everybody else but it's never come, think maybe its time to accept that the urge ain't late, she just ain't showing up

Just kind of obnoxious and over the top, I guess.

My husband grew up watching it as a kid. I've only seen episodes starting with 9. And a few of the old ones here or there. 10 is probably "my" doctor. But I like them all. I'm not too picky. :)

Wait, so a penis can be shown on cable shows now, but it has to be flaccid? Why can't it be erect, does flaccid somehow make it more socially acceptable? Why does the amount of bloodflow make a difference? What trickery is this? :wtf:

Reminds me of when Miley Cyrus said that America isn't offended by breasts in the media, it's offended by nipples. Media sources will often show as much of the female breast as possible without showing the nipple. Can't help but think she's got a point.

Size anxiety, probably. As long as he's flaccid, a guy can claim he's a grower. Nothing deflates a guy's ego like being at full mast and somebody going, "That's it?" It's bad enough when one person says it; most guys on a screen likely get antsy that the entire audience might be saying or at least thinking it.

It can also be difficult for a lot of guys to maintain a natural erection for multiple takes, which is why porn shoots have fluffers on standby. Mainstream Hollywood isn't gonna cross that line.

It's funny how long time fans of a TV show, movie, video game, or anything really will sometimes get upset with the newer fans. This short YouTube video shows how silly that is in a funny way. Grumpy Star Trek Fan Let's get along now, Doctor Who fans new and old.

I remember when actor Kevin Bacon kept a journal while filming Hollow Man years ago. Back then, Entertainment Weekly had a regularly running feature where they would publish journals that actors agreed to write while on-set. At one point, he had nude scenes involving a green screen, and while he was in makeup, his makeup person asked him if he'd like a bit more "definition and enhancement" on little Kevin Bacon. He seemed annoyed, but not really surprised, I guess because of how the scene and effects were arranged.

I read another article in EW about actor Ben Affleck in Gone Girl. The director absolutely assured Affleck that when he filmed the shower scene, little Ben was not going to appear in the shot, and all filming would appear from the waist up. The director lied, and Affleck supposedly didn't even find out about the full frontal nudity until the film was in its final cut. He was pretty upset about it.

So yeah, that makes a lot of sense. In between size anxiety and keeping erect, it's can be a lot harder for guys onscreen.
