I’m really proud of Bruno Mars because he’s made nearly every teenage girl go “I’m too hot hot damn” and even just saying that once can help someone’s self esteem and no one is making fun of the song so girls aren’t constantly made fun of for listening to it like with other artists. I’m just really proud of Bruno for making a ton of young girls a little bit more comfortable in their own skin.
the hardest you've ever laughed reading a book

Once at a 9 hour flight from Paris to Tokyo I had offered the guy sitting next to me a Finnish candy, Sisu (kinda like salty liquorice but not, but also not liquorice with menthol but kinda like?) He then showed me something, roughly the size of a breath mint. So I took it and put it in my mouth, because hey, they ate my Finnish Black Bomb so I’m going to taste their French Thingy.
Except it wasn’t a candy. In fact it was nothing edible. It was a fossil they wanted to show me. I just put a fossil in my mouth. Somebody else’s fossil.
It’s been 12 years and I’m still mortified.

I didn't know a whole lot about Beau Brummell, apart from the fact that he was the real arbiter elegantiarum of Regency England and that his rise and fall were closely connected to his being a personal friend of the heir to the throne, who was famously unpopular. The thing I liked the most was that Brummell wasn't even a member of the aristocracy, and yet the whole London trembled before his judgment, because he was cruel and merciless and he understood fashion deeper than anyone. I liked him for being nasty to the Upper Ten, and for not taking anything seriously, including himself. I also liked the speculations about his sexuality, and the descriptions of sexual mores of the time, it was fascinating. (I'm not very interested in fashion though.)
So, Beau Brummell who was able to make people tremble for fear that their boots might not shine enough or that there was something wrong with their cravat, Beau Brummell may look like an awfully shallow and idiotic person, fully deserving to be ridiculed and hated... but no. He seemed to also be considerate, sensitive and above all, a great companion and an interesting person.
It is true that he had to run away from his debts, and quite possibly - some of his biographers hint at this - caused the ruin of many shopkeepers and other people who were dependent on him or whom he owed money, much like the case with Thackeray's Becky Sharp after her downfall. Ian Kelly doesn't have any examples, and he only cities Brummell's contemporaries on this, but it's of course entirely possible.
Yet I think that Brummell paid in full for whatever he did. When he left London, he lived the rest of his life as an immigrant in Calais, then as a British consul in Caen, then as a prisoner, and finally as an inmate of the mental hospital. He was seriously ill, often cold and hungry, and at the end he suffered terribly, dying of tertiary syphilis, which also means that he had periods of relative lucidity and he must have been conscious at moments and aware of what was happening to him. So I felt really sorry for him, especially seeing that he actually refused to feel very sorry for himself, and I'll remember that he liked cats and that when he was arrested for debts, his first action was to ask his friends to pay off his poor washerwoman who was going to starve otherwise.

The Persian Boy traces the last years of Alexander’s life through the eyes of his lover, Bagoas. Abducted and gelded as a boy, Bagoas was sold as a courtesan to King Darius of Persia, but found freedom with Alexander after the Macedon army conquered his homeland. Their relationship sustains Alexander as he weathers assassination plots, the demands of two foreign wives, a sometimes-mutinous army, and his own ferocious temper. After Alexander’s mysterious death, we are left wondering if this Persian boy understood the great warrior and his ambitions better than anyone.
