Fit for a Duchess

It's been a wild couple of months in the UK, to say the least. British people got a new Prime Minister, they lost a queen, they got a new king, they did a bunch of mourning, and finally, the brand spanking new 47-year-old Prime Minister resigned in disgrace, all in a period of under 50 days.

They seemed to buy it too…

Forever changed

A giant sexy Shrek in stilettos and a black sleek leather jumpsuit is taking over the skies in places all over the world—a true jet-setting material swamp girl.

Looks like a fun guy

Colorful specks of sugar that adorn everything from ice cream cones to a doughnuts. Apparently in the United Kingdom , American sprinkles are illegal as they contain food colorings found to cause thyroid problems and hyperactivity in children. The FDA doesn't find the same warning necessary. That's probably because more hyperactivity =…
