A pirate, a princess, and a hunter walk into a bar…
and I’m not sure who’s making it out. 👀

"She strolled over to the litter tray, squatted down and urinated loudly, maintaining extremely assertive eye contact with me throughout."

I feel like there's a whole book I could write about this dress...
Something like about a widow who marries time and time again, always adding expensive features to her gown until its worth more than anyone she could wed.
