June 29th, 1994: Diana was due to appear at a Vanity Fair dinner the same evening a television interview in which Charles had confessed to his extramarital affair with Camilla Parker-Boweles was to air. Knowing this, Diana particularly picked a little black dress that showed off her good figure and plenty of skin for the event. (It was later described as a “little wisp of chiffon.”) Designed by Christina Stambolian, Diana had purchased it a few years before when shopping with her brother, but had been hesitant to wear it because of how much it revealed and its color. She chose this occasion to debut the dress. The next morning, it was she, not Charles, who made the front pages of the newspapers. The media was quick to label it as the first “revenge dress”, as well as the, “Up Yours, Charles” dress. It is one of Diana’s most remembered pieces.
Ellen DeGeneres was asked to record the new steamy novel “50 Shades of Grey” for the audio book. Things didn’t go according to plan.Check out this video from “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”…
Holy mother of FUCK as if I’m only just learning this?!?!!?!?!
WHY AM I DISCOVERING THIS JUST NOW?!?!?!
OH MY GOD.
The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You Insane Within 45 Minutes
There’s a small room in Minnesota thatblocks out 99% of all external sound. That’s an impressive number! Also impressive: nobody can take more than 45 minutes alone in the room before they go nuts.The Daily Mail describes Orfield Labs’ anechoic chamber—perfect for making extremely sensitive audio measurements. But also perfect for sending you into a hallucinatory hell so hellacious you’ll need a chair:
‘When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. ‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’ And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that it’s so disconcerting that sitting down is a must. He said: ‘How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don’t have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you’re in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.’
That sounds swell. Just the serene quiet of you, your thoughts, and the unceasing pounding of the human heart. Your brain can’t take it, apparently, and begins to fabricate sounds that aren’t really there—completely delusional noises meant to block out the churning of your own horrid biomass.

This is crazy. I want to go here. I will scare myself.
Ridiculously Photogenic Guy on Good Morning America (now that’s what I call news)
Tumblr is now the best agent you could possibly have.
oh man this is awesome
HIS VOICE IS LIKE A MILLION ANGELS SINGING. HE IS SO ADORABLE I WANT TO DIE.
On a more serious note, I’m actually really honored that he’s running to raise awareness and aid for Aortic Dissections because that was the main factor in the death of my late father. To have such a genuinely nice, cheerful, and
I won’t deny itattractive man known across Tumblr running to raise awareness for such a cause actually makes me really happy. So, thank you, Watkins, for being an all-around awesome guy. :D^
Awww he seems like such a good guy!
HES PERFECT
