75 JO grand cent 634x970 and i realized i’ve just totally glossed over the father leonard letters as though they never happened, but they bring up all manner of biographical/historical/ethical brouhaha so i’ma pretend just a little longer like that’s not a pressing thing we need to discuss.

firstly, britbrit and i share the whatever you wanna call the opposite of ‘bitchy resting face‘. EMOTIONS ALL OVER THE FACE face, i guess. so i’mma rely on her as an emoticon of sorts to guide us through the horror we are about to endure.

secondly, do you remember when that sick dude made a grotesque piece of statuary devoted to the re-imagining of britney’s first kid’s birth? well, (1) he’s back. except no one really cares this time because it’s KK. know who they do care about? DOC. which brings us to… Continue reading
