People say Christmas is the most wonderful time of year, but…. Carnival season is coming!!
January 6 is known as Twelfth Night or the Epiphany. The days between then and Mardi Gras are collectively called Carnival, when decadence reigns before the austerity of Lent.
Let’s get the party started. 👑

I have to stop immediately believing the internet’s perception of a human. Shame on me, honestly.
What’s about to come out of this Blake Lively sexual harassment suit is going to be horrid. Funny the only thing I recall his team mentioning was how upset she was about a weight comment on set.
