Mother of the Week, Notes on a Scandal, and a very distracting Charles Melton
How am I supposed to concentrate when his nipples are staring into my soul?
So here I was trying to write a newsletter for you good folks at home when Charles Melton suddenly came along with a new photoshoot for Men's Health.
Am I just supposed to be normal now? Honestly, Charles. How dare you.
The theme of this photoshoot was "Put things in his mouth!" apparently.

Mother of the Week
Where Mothers Come To Mother
Welcome back to Mother of the Week where we celebrate icons who have been Mother to us all.
This week's choice is on fire with her career these days. I can really sense big things still to come. I just hope she doesn't have beef with anyone important.
