"Can't I keep this? I just very nearly survived a bird attack!"

"Neither of us know quite which camera we're supposing to be looking at..."

Informative Caption tells us: "The Duke of York has given the royal seal of approval to fashion accessories made by Indian sex workers rebuilding their lives after years of exploitation.

The Saint Olav Festival continues! I need someone to explain to me why the women in Norway and Sweden always have to wear their Traditional Garb, but the men never do. If I were M-M, I am quite sure I'd be a total pill about that.

Those are some BLUE PANTS on Fred!
