I know there’s not as much audience overlap but y’all should’ve said this histrom was for the dark romance readers. I would’ve picked this up faster.
The MMC is like a mesh of James Roth (Singed series by Mia Knight) and Killian Carson (God of Malice by Rina Kent).

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate.
Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

0-8 Sam Houston beats Oregon State 21-17 for its first win of the season.
That leaves just UMass as our last winless team.

listen to the Mississippi State crowd stop the cowbells for the opponent's snap to avoid a penalty, start yelling, and then immediately hit the cowbells once the play starts. PROS.

my eyes went straight to stamping. but also the pattern. it’s such a BAD fake too that you know they didn’t even have a few thousands on hand for a better fake 😭
I think this bag is fake.
Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides.
This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.
