Separated at Birth

These bitches have our lives!!!

They probably had a fancy champagne brunch before spending the day shopping and coordinating looks!!! It’s no accident that they both have off-the-shoulder dresses with ruffles on the sleeve, perfect curls framing their faces and, finally, similar poses. 

On the left is Sir Peter Lely’s “The Duchess of Portsmouth” and on the right is Pieter Nason’s “Portrait of a Lady.” SHOCKER! Even the artists share the same first name.

SO jeal.

France Claims Middle of America for King Louis XIV

King Louis XIV

Oui oui!!! We like!

With all the competition for land on the east coast, the Frenchies took the middle area from right under England’s nose. We can’t imagine the English are too upset though, because the middle is where a ton of Indians live. From what we’ve heard, most Indians AREN’T looking to make friends. 

Whatevs, this is good news for us! We find those little Frenchie hats très adorbs!!!!

Teddy Hamilton in a doggie beret would be too presh for words!!

RIP: Margaret Brent

margaret brent can't vote

Sadly, we have heard reports that Margaret Brent, a crazy spinster woman who requested the right to vote, has passed away in Virginia at the age of 70.

It’s worth mentioning that her sex life was STILL nonexistent at the time of her death. She died VERY single, giving her only property to her sister, brother and his children.

We can’t imagine she lived a very fulfilled life. 

May there be plenty of safe and virtuous sex in Heaven.

Indians Forced to Surrender Weapons to Puritans

indians burn village

Soon after Chief Massasoit Sachem died, his son Metacomet began leading the Sachem Indians. MetaC has been so buddy-buddy with the locals that he even adopted a European name, “King Phillip”, and buys his white people clothing in Boston.

Sadly, the Puritans have become paranoid that the Indians are taking over, so they’ve ordered MetaC to surrender a lot of his weaponry and agree to English law. Reluctantly, MetaC agreed.

The Plymouth Colony wouldn’t have even survived without the kindess of MetaC’s dad!! We bet Chief Massasoit Sachem is rolling over in his grave. Or part of him, anyway. The Puritans probably dug up his body and stole his jewelry.

Well, they’ve done it before!!!
