Jessica McClintock, women's formal fashion designer.

Gunne Sax (her fashion line) my mom wore a Gunne Sax bridal gown for her last wedding, and I wore one for my bat mitzvah.

@lotherio 104 isn't a bad run. I loved those books as a kid. I bought the mouse and the motorcycle for my sister's special ed classroom. She said there's a kid who wants to read it again and again.

Philip Windsor

@rinel Technically it's Philip Mountbatten, if you're not going to use the titles.

@rinel
Feeling a little conflicted on this one. On one hand he wasn't particularly a good person all the time, while he did a lot of charity work as is expected for someone in his role, he also made comments which were racist and almost seemed to embody the "racist grandpa at dinner" sort of role.

On the other hand he has spent his life in support of the Queen, which can't have been easy always - yes, lap of luxury and all that, but still it's not easy being in the shadow all the time.

I think I'm sad, mostly for the Queen and her family, but not necessarily grieving.

Awww. And her birthday just a few weeks away too. So sad.

Macha · Apr 9, 2021, 4:35 PM

DMX. He'd been on life support a few days, but they'd been painting an optimistic picture

@macha Sad dog barking noises

Macha · Apr 9, 2021, 4:38 PM

@derp And apparently today is also Charles' wedding anniversary with Camilla.

@macha X is still gonna give it to ya, but simply beyond our earthly realm.

Rinel · Apr 9, 2021, 6:19 PM

@tinuviel

Eh. He married into the Windsors

Windsor né Mountbatten

@Rinel

If we're going to be super pedantic, he's a Battenberg. He's Mountbatten, she's Windsor, and their male children have the hyphenate Mountbatten-Windsor. Not sure what Anne got as her surname.

But really they're both Gothe-Saxe-Coburg or some shit.

@hedgehog Philip was House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, actually.
