This is a normal thing for me. I see a great movie, look up everything about it online and learn about all the people and processes involved in creating it. That’s just what nerds do. But this time was different.

No one had looked into Milicent’s story because she was a woman. Historians had dismissed her because she was a woman. Milicent was the only female in a male-dominated space. Instead of assuming that she was there for work because she was talented, these troglodytes assumed she was there for the only thing many men assume women are there for: male pleasure. In order to invalidate that assumption, they needed her artistic contributions to be proved beyond all doubt.

He wanted sad and beautiful, sort of romantic, like something The Cure would sing about if they were mermen.

Mil is a pretty gorgeous creature. She stands a neat five foot four in black mesh stockings, has raven-colored hair and a 41-inch bustline.... As she walks through the studios on her way to makeup assignments, she’s one of the few gals who draw wolf whistles from the rather blasé stagehands and electricians. Perhaps that’s no wonder. For she does have a very enticing gait, these backstage workers will be the first to tell you. And the overall effect is that ‘plate full of jelly’ walk.133

Mormons believe marriages, or “sealings,” last all the way into eternity and beyond. They don’t want anybody being left behind and lonely. They believe that you can get married when you’re dead, either to a living person or another dead person.141 Those two souls will meet up in the afterlife and Netflix and chill for all eternity, I guess. So, it behooves the Mormons to know about as many people as possible, as a sort of necro-dating pool.

Mormons are really fucking weird. I need to ask Ashley about this....

It was absolutely worth it to sell my peaceful afterlife.
