#the exclusive holiday tour | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Things that "allegedly" happened at the Aus tour that might have caused William to initiate the royal foundation split asap -

1. Jason stayed back in London at KP and did not accompany the couple to Australia. Quite a bit of the HnM staff went to Australia but point of contact the remained Jason in London. The harkle shenanigans were directly reported to Jason at KP during this time. And maybe Jason talked to William while Harry was away

2. Jessica accompanied Meghan as her stylist. But essentially Meghan and Jessica treated it as a holiday and wanted to do holiday stuff even though the couple's schedule was packed. Rumours are that Jessica/Meghan billed Clarence house for this styling expenses.

3. Meghan sort of sabotaged Invictus and wanted to be there with Harry at every Invictus appearance and give a speech as well. Harry in the end, ditched Invictus and only did a couple of appearances to give a speech. But did not meet with the organizers or the participants. While this is not related to RF or KP directly, it showed bad faith. Now we know they did mistreat David Beckham.

4. Jessica's husband Ben had also come over from Canada with a crew. This was done in the garb of covering invictus but rumours were that Meghan wanted to do an exclusive interview about her pregnancy. The staff put a stop to this. Seems like this was a similar arrangement to what the couple eventually did in SA with Bradby and the "no one asked if im okay" interview.

5. Meghan's people had kinda roped in Jaguar to be Invictus sponcers and arranged a Jaguar to be gifted to Ben as a thank you gift for the exclusive interview with the Canadian network. Staff got to know and put a stop to it becoming news. Rumours are that Ben then flew back, but still got the Jaguar.

6. Meghan did not like staying at the governor generals official residence. Esp since Jessica was with her. She wanted the whole house as opposed to a wing. Jason and the KP team had to sort that headache out and smooth it out with the Australian team. Meghan remained mad.

7. She had an argument with the Governor generals wife, allegedly over staff treatment. rumours are that Meghan used the F- word and rolled her eyes. Happened in front of KP and aus staff. This was pretty much a diplomatic incidence and BP+govt got involved.

8. She wanted to accompany Harry at every one of his solo engagements. This caused quite a bit of hassles last minute. They were late to nearly all their engagements.

9. The blood diamond earrings situation happened. She wore the earrings without letting the staff know. KP/London staff were told one thing and issued a statement but later were told by staff in Australia about the true provenance. From a diplomatic pov this was a very bad look but Meghan said she did not care.

10. Tea throwing incidence happened and tea allegedly spilled over one of her PAs. That PA was being bullied by Meghan for a while and decided to leave. She was paid and an iron clad NDA had to be signed. But this incidence became quite an big legal issue for KP and there was allegedly a super injunction about this.

11. Jason decided to officially forward the bullying complaint to Simon case, BP HR and CH in writing. And maybe talked to William because staff's mental health was at stake.

12. She walked out of the UN women engagement after 10min and berated her staff, while at the venue, for arranging this. She allegedly ripped her Amy and her female body guard a new one infront of everyone, including royal rota. Amy cried. And the female bodyguard handed in her resignation that day.

13. She allegedly skipped/ditched some engagements to go to a spa/resort with Jessica. This caused some embarrassment because a lot of people had put in a lot of time and efforts into making these happen- reporters, organizers, local authorities, security, attending public and staff were all left embarrassed.

14. She was merching throughout the tour. She had arranged for merching deals and freebies and the staff wasn't made aware. Ethically, this caused quite some problems for KP. Gifts were also accepted in Australia personally by the couple against staff advice.

15. The pricetag on one of her dresses was left on when she walked out of a plane. She was embarrassed and ripped into her assistant for that. That was a merch which went wrong for her.

16. The couple was rude to the royal rota throughout. Even though the rota had been previously briefed about the kind of coverage Meghan wanted. Jason had to frantically be smooth things over constantly from London to ensure positive coverage from the press.

17. At least 4 members of meghans staff handed in their notice while on tour. This got back to KP/William who felt they had to act asap.

18. The couple constantly rowed while in Australia, and staff was put in an impossible sandwich situation while dealing with two. Both H and M were constantly on social media checking commments and were issued that public was criticising Meghan. They constantly telling staff to cover social media and clab back, instead of doing actual work.

Thank you so much! I remembered it was a disaster, but I’d forgotten some of the details.

They also took some vacation days at a resort, and there were rumors it was a freebie. And she made that speech claiming she’d paid her way through Northwestern and her dad and sister clapped back at that.

It really was a nightmare. I smh whenever Harry claims his family was jealous about how well they did in Australia.

Super Soaker.

Warning: NSFW 18+, minors dni, SMUT SMUT SMUT. not edited.

Word Count: 1.49K

Summary: A simple gym video posted to IG caused your dam to break …

Notes: Taking a mini detour from writing Maps to bring you this beauty. minimal plot, minimal dialogue, smut and vibes. Makes no sense but just go with it because I really just wanted to get it out there.

The arrangement that the two of you had was an exclusively casual sort of deal. It worked great in both of your favour - no commitment to each other but as long as you openly communicated about where the both of you stood, there was no problem. The both of you were too busy for a relationship but never too busy for a weekend of coital indulgence.

He was back from his holiday tour in Africa and the first call he made when he landed back home was to you. Quickly emptying your schedule, the chauffeur picked you up and since then, the two of you have been in your own little cocoon. It was day four of your visit and usually by now, you would have left but before Lewis left for his morning run, he asked for you to stay another day and with his fingers softly bringing you to an orgasm, it was a simple persuasion that you could not refuse.

By now it was about eleven in the morning and you were finally up from your slumber and lounging in the unkempt bed, scrolling through your instagram when you clicked on Lewis’s icon. Your breath hitched in your throat as your eyes watched the video that he had posted. There was a caption sure - something motivational as always - but you were not focused on that no, you were focused on the bare tattooed torso of your man as it glistened with sweat. The heavy panting of his chest caused his gold chains to rise and fall and the sight of the necklaces alone was enough for your pussy to clench around nothing. His unbraided hair was in a ponytail which brought more attention to his handsome face.

A typical slutty gym video of Lewis bare chested with his sweats hung low, showcasing his waistline and you were fucking soaking. The way you felt was almost as if he had not spent the last four days fucking you within inches of your life in every corner of his house and doing it again. His allure was undeniable and you found yourself getting out of the bed to quickly freshen up. You put on a pair of fresh underwear and his discarded vest shirt before rushing to his gym. For a moment, you stopped to watch him bench press.

You bit on your bottom lip as your insides tingled as you watched his muscles flex with each press.

God, he was so beautiful.

And he was all yours.

You walked forward and stood in between his parted legs and placed your hands on his thighs. Feeling your presence, he placed the weight bar down and took his airpods out as you straddled his lap and then ran your hands up and down his torso, loving the way each ridge and dip felt beneath your palm.

“Good morning you beautiful human being. Do you know how fucking sexy you are?” You greeted as he sat upwards. He chuckled as he caressed your bare thighs. He bit his lip as he looked up at you as your hands came to his neck and your thumbs rubbed on his jawline.

“You tell me every time gorgeous girl, thank you. How did you sleep?” He asked before giving you a soft kiss on your naturally pouty lip.

“I slept well and I was enjoying my morning then i came across a video that piqued my interest.”

“Oh yeah?” He smirked as he raised his eyebrow and licked his lips. “What video was that?”

“You being a slut per usual.” You giggled. “You get off on knowing your fans go completely feral over that? I can feel how hard you are right now.”

“No, I’m hard because my sweet girl is sitting on my lap right now and I can feel her hot pussy on me.”

“This is your fault. Why are you fucking hot? First thing in the morning and all I wanna do is get on my knees and suck your dick but I also wanna feel you deep inside of me.” You whispered as your lips brushed against each other.

“That can be arranged.” He smiled before he consumed you. His tongue touched the roof of your mouth as you sank into him. Your arms wrapped around his neck as his hands slid underneath the shirt that you had adorned and squeezed your flesh. You whimpered softly as he edged you to grind on him.

“I can feel how wet you are baby.” He groaned. “That all for me?”

“Mhm.” You nodded your head as you tighten your grip around him. Your moan shuddered him as he picked you up in his arms and shifted his sweats down long enough to pull his dick out, letting his body do the talking that he couldn’t say. He moved your panties to the side and tried to push his fingers into you but you were so drenched.

“Fuck baby, fuuucckk.” He sighed. “You don’t need any foreplay do you? Just seeing me work out got you fucking soaking huh?”

“You can slip right in Daddy I swear. I’m so fucking wet.”

“Sit on it sweetheart. Take Daddy’s dick.” You held onto his shoulders as you took his cock and began to sink down on him, You gasped as your eyes rolled to the back of your head. He pecked your lips before he laid back onto the bench and placed his hands behind his back.

“Take this dick, it’s yours.”

“Don’t say things like that to me.” You whimpered as you adjusted yourself on his thick length.

“Why not?” He held onto your hip, letting you adjust comfortably.

“Because then I’ll want you more than I should right now.” You began to lightly bounce making sure that you felt every inch of his cock. “God baby.”

“Nothing’s wrong with that. I’m right here.”

His eyes closed as you rolled your hips before steadying yourself and riding him as hard as you could. You watched as he tried to hold himself - he was giving you all the control but you were slipping because he was pushing against your g-spot and your thighs were quick to start trembling. The over stimulation was too much and your first orgasm was quickly approaching but then he stilled your hips causing a whimper to slip out of your mouth.

“Look at me.” He growled. And once you met his eyes, he began thrusting up into you. Your eyes widened as you bounced in his lap to the ferocity of his thrusts. You tried to close your eyes but then you felt a soft slap to your cheek before he shoved his fingers into your mouth as his thumb and pinky buried into your cheekbones.

“I said fucking look at me.” He hissed as he fucked into you harder. You moaned into his fingers as you held onto the wrist of the hand in your mouth as your other dug its fingernails into his skin. Your cunt tightened around him as he plunged into your heat again and again.

“Now that’s a good girl. Got all wet just watching me work out and you couldn’t wait until you sat on Daddy’s dick huh? Couldn’t wait to give me all this pussy - dripping all over me and making a mess.”

You cried out as your walls tightened up around his cock. You were about to cum - your orgasm was within reach but you just needed a little more.

“I can feel you about to cum baby. That’s it, right fucking there … Be a good girl and cum for me.”

Shoving his fingers out of your mouth, you leaned down so that you could kiss him and moan into his mouth as you came. Your orgasm was as intense as they come with Lewis but this time your cream drenched him and a few beats behind you, he erupted deep inside of you.

“Fffuuccckk.” He groaned as his fingers tightened their grip on your ass and kept you still as he filled you up. In a moment’s calm, he sat up with your lips still interlocked and the angle shift pushed him a little further into you. You sighed as your tongue caressed his without consequence.

“I can’t get enough of you.”

“With how hard you still are, I can tell. I haven’t had my fill either.”

“Wanna take it back upstairs?”

“No, we haven’t tried every corner of the gym yet ..” You smirked.

putting the christmas tree with harry !!

this is my entry for @watchmegetobsessed’s fanficmas 2022 !! i hope you like it 💕

NAUGHTY LIST

The calendar marked that it was December the 19, and you and Harry still didn't have a single Christmas decoration up in your house.

To be fair, you just spent the past month travelling across South America for Harry's last shows of 2022, but now after a quick stop in Los Angeles, you were finally home in London.

So after complaining about how your house looked so sad and dragging Harry to the nearest store to buy some decorations and a tree, your plan of the evening that consisted on getting your house in the Christmas mood started.

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go." you and Harry sang along to Michael Bublé's voice that played on the speakers.

"Oh Christmas songs, I am your slave." Harry said as he passed you a couple of ornaments to hang on the tree.

"Did you just quote your tweet from 2014?" You turned around to look at him with a small smile, he was wearing a red jumper with brown corduroy pants and everything about him looked cuddly.

You loved being home with him.

"I don't know, maybe," he shrugged before continuing, "Mum called, wants to know if we're still coming this weekend."

"Of course we are, Christmas with the Styles for the second year, I wouldn't miss that for anything." you happily said, over the two years you and Harry have been together, his family had become your second one, they received you with open arms last Christmas and made you feel like one of them.

"Remember how nervous you were last year?" a smile made its way to Harry's face as he remembered last year's Christmas, since you and Harry started dating during his 2021 tour, you only had the chance to meet his mum and sister once when they visited him for one of his shows in LA, and Christmas was going to be your second meeting.

"Give me a break, okay? It was my second time meeting your mom and I was going to crash in her house for the holidays, of course I was going to be nervous." you told him as you hung more ornaments and decorations in your tree, it was almost done and you were very happy with the results.

"And they ended up loving you, baby, just like I told you," he moved to stand behind you, wrapping his arm around your shoulders, pressing a few kisses to the side of your face, making you lean into him "Tree looks good, we did a great job." he kissed the side of your face again, lingering his lips there for a minute.

"We? Harry I basically did all of that on my own while you sang Christmas songs the entire time." you playfully complained, turning around to face him and place your hands on his stomach, the material of his jumper soft in your hands.

"Heyyyy! That was mean!" he made his typical 'Heyyy' face, making you throw your head back as you laughed.

“I’m so happy to be spending the holidays with you again,” you ignored his complaints and decided to be soft for a minute. It was the perfect season for it, after all, “This year was just amazing, and I can't wait to see what next year has for us, if you'll still have me, of course."

"Baby! Of course I'll have you, I'm wrapped around your little finger and you know that," he kissed your nose sweetly, making you scrunch your face a little, "Besides, who's going to put up my tree next Christmas if you're not around? I'm going to turn into Scrooge!" you rolled your eyes with affection before speaking.

"So that's the only reason why we're dating? Because I put together amazing Christmas trees?" you decided to play along with him.

"That and your fantastic arse." he placed his hands in your bum making you squeal and laugh.

"Wish I could said that your arse is fantastic too but," he raised his brow, waiting for you to finish your sentence, "I was taught not to lie to others."

"Oh come on, my arse is spectacular and you know it," you laughed at his antics again, he could be such a man-child sometimes, "You're being so mean to me today, I might have to do something about it."

"Yeah? Like what?" it was your turn to raise your brow and tilt your head, waiting for his answer.

"I'm putting you on my naughty list." he grabbed you by the hips, making your chest collide with his, you instantly moved your hands to place them on his neck.

"You have a naughty list? Who else is there?" your eyes moved to his lips for a moment, dying to taste the red wine he had been drinking from them.

"Just you, actually." he smirked and finally kissed your lips, happiness filling both of you to be home for the holidays.

hi. i don't want to trouble u so if u don't want to answer this feel free to ignore it. it has been my dream for years to convert to judaism and i've been in contact for a while with a synagogue in a town near mine, participated in shabbat services and some high holidays even (rosh hashanah was my favorite), started reading the recommended books etc. i loved it all but once i mentioned the unjust treatment of palestinians by the israeli government and my politics which are generally very left-leaning i was told that the palestinians aren't oppressed, that no jew thinks like me and that with my views it would be more than difficult to get close to the jewish religion and i was basically told to distance myself from the community. this was a progressive synagogue btw. i live in germany and in one of its smallest states population-wise as well, so now due to this rejection i'm kind of losing hope to be ever able to realize my dream. i assume you'refrom the us and i know the us has a big jewish minority while germany has a very small one for obvious reasons. i have a lot of understanding for why zionism exists but i simply can't agree with it bc it goes against my morals. i can't feel patriotic for any country. and personally i do not agree that being a leftist and a jew is mutually exclusive. i get the impression from your blog that you are a leftist as well. did you have any such problems when first getting in contact with a jewish community? i don't want judaism to be a space where i need to leave my morals at the doorstep (that would be ironic and nonsensical to me) and hide things abt myself (like that i'm a leftist, lgbt, mentally ill) but i'm scared now that this won't be possible. anyways. hope you're having a nice day/night. here's a monke for u. 🦧

ty for monke!!

im so sorry youve had this experience, as far as my own experiences go, this sort of treatment is extremely unusual for any liberal or leftist jewish circles in the us. i myself am not versed in the israel/palestine conflict but my rabbis are, and they CONSTANTLY speak out against the injustice happening over there, and they offer unbiased tours of israel where you go talk to palestinians and israelis both

i dont consider myself zionist or antizionist and i really have no energy to go into the whole shebang debate, so i will publish this and see what my followers have to say :) pls no vitriol or meaningless political fighting on this post this person is genuinely confused and hurt

anon if you want to private message me i can get you in contact with my rabbis who could explain this better than any of us could i bet!

#israel #palestine #germany #not in the us

hello!

today was 'Wear Your Favourite Piece of Old Era Bears in Trees Merch To Work' day, which is a holiday that ceremoniously only began today and may never happen again. i wanted to speak about each piece, if that's ok.

iain is wearing the very first bears in trees t-shirt we made; it's got dash the snail (their old pet snail) running across the finish line. i think we made around 50 of these (?) and it took a year for them to sell out. the streams from just five more minutes single handedly funded this t shirt, so shout out to You if you listened to good rhymes for bad times in 2017. you part own this t shirt.

i am wearing our 'death in the chest' tee we made in support of fresh concrete. i like band tees that don't say the band name on them, because then if you see someone else wearing it you feel like you've just stumbled into a secret club where everyone's having a lovely time, all the time, eternally. i also just think the tee is really neat.

george is wearing his very own bears in trees beanie (we also did these in pink bubblegum) as well as the limited edition 'i love my friends' sweatshirt. i think this is still the piece of merch that feels closest to a Moment, ykno? like. i remember the Moment we saw them for the first time. it was just special.

callum is wearing our party mollusc hat, which was a usa exclusive hat for our first shows there earlier this year. he's also wearing the embroidered bears in trees hoodie from our uk headline tour in february, which is still my favourite hoodie we've ever done. i think if a bears in trees merch item was ever going to be synonymous with the band, it'd be That.

all of these pieces still make me feel warm inside. we've always tried not to reprint old designs because we like them signifying us in that era; a very physical sign of 'i was there, and i felt it'. if the hints haven't been clear enough yet, our next era begins next month. if you want to hold onto a piece of bears in trees as you see us now, our current era stock is still on our webstore. it won't be there forever, and that's okay.

grab the last of our current era merch here.

G-ROSSO Super Sentai stage show guide (7/2023)

Theatre G-Rosso is located within the theme park Tokyo Dome City. The theme park had a long history of Hero Shows running back to the 70s. The theatre was established in 2009 as a permanent indoor stage. There are 4 seasons each year with showings on weekends and holidays. Suidobashi station is a little closer than Korakuen/Kasuga subway. I visited it for the first time in July 2023.

Ticketing

Seats

Post-show activities

Merch

Review

TICKETING

G-rosso ticketing depends on which seasons really. Tickets should be plentiful for the first two seasons, especially S2/August when they show every day. S3 and S4 with the face actors might be harder but the show runs for 3 months too so it should be possible.

ticket types + availibility / show schedule

There are three classes of G-rosso tickets (single adult admission) :

Premium (¥2500): first 3 rows + special gift

General (¥1900): rest of the theatre

Free Seating (¥1500): same-day showings for the last 5 rows at the end of the theatre. cash only, vending machine at the door.

You can of course book online through a proxy (bypassing japanse phone verification) but I think you can save that fee especially if you're staying for more than a week in Japan. For S2, I was able to buy the last Premium ticket for the next day (Saturday), and there were enough general seats available. Can't say for sure the same applies to S3/4 with face actors. As a foreigner, the most convenient way is to buy a ticket is from the convenience store Family Mart. Find any store with the photocopier-looking machine and follow the instructions to choose the show times and pricing, pay with cash at the counter and the staff will print you a paper ticket. same go for photo ops and handshake.

(Free Seating vending machine, photo ops ticket)

CHOOSING A SEAT

The theatre is two stories high and you can see the seating plan here. I was in the third row mid-right. What surprised me was how close to the stage the first rows are, barely an arm's distance. At one point Kuwagata Ohger leaned on the railing of the first row. The actors would also walk up to interact with the audience.

I think if you want to enjoy the whole stage and not aiming at the special gift, you can skip the Premium ticket and get a few rows further back. Another recommended seat is Row L just between the two blocks. That's where Spider Kumonos descends UPSIDE DOWN from the sky right in front of your eyes.

If for some reason you g-rosso on a whim / sneaked it into the schedule, the free entry ticket is available only at the vending machine on-site with cash. It's designated to the last rows but staff aren't strict on you moving if the theatre is not crowded.

(view from middle block)

PHOTO OPS & HANDSHAKE

as you'd've seen in commercials, you can pay extra to take a photo (with red only!) (¥1100) and shake hands (with all six) of the heroes (¥600) after the show. The tickets for those are available prior online and in convenience stores too, but if you ask the staff, they'll let you buy one with cash on an old-fashioned vending machine. Since it's my first time attending G-rosso, I did the whole package with birthday perks (no id checked).

A new backstage tour is available since August. Lottery ticketing required.

(merch haul)

MERCH

The most iconic G-rosso exclusive merch is probably the hero hand light. I didn't really see a lot of kids holding it so I kinda forgot about it in the rush. the other true exclusive is a wooden plaque gashapon machine (¥300). There were booths for name badges for kids and you can get a bromide for ¥440. There was a cart selling DX toys and plushies. The special stuff is some toei online store acrylic stands, the muffler towel, cup and plate. Outside you'd find the food stall with collab items like popcorns and drinks with an original coaster.

(Collab menu with coasters, Exclusive wood plaque)

(kids play area, past hero show posters)

REVIEW

As a kid's show the japanese won't be too difficult but I was so captivated by the action I wasn't really listening to the words. The plot is easy enough to follow though, and the website says an English pamphlet is available for borrowing (but I forgot to ask). It feels so professional compared to park stage shows but so tangible compared to tv. They make good use of the space with an under-stage pit/trampoline and the high ceiling with platforms and wires. my eyes were busy darting when the action was in one corner and then next. childhood wonder!!

leaving the theatre is a row of gashapon machines and a kids' play area with all the DX toys (:( no adults) and when you go up the escalator, on the side of the theatre entrance is a wall of pass hero show posters!

(i barely have any coherent notes about this) the plot is there's a cicada MOTW and he is brainwashed to make the earth's temperature rise and make evil clones of the team. Rita, raised in the land of snow, is bad at heat and went to sit in a corner and covered their head with the mantle. When facing their/Gira's evil clone, they said 'i'll just cut down both of them'. My notes said 'someday Rita is even gonna plead innocence for the bugs'. six of them roll call together with jeramie!! i was watching papillon-sama's fight style the whole time. and there were trampolines and flips and cartwheels and white spider man falling from the sky while the digital background zooms in and out and legit tears when we started cheering for the heroes. it's an experience okay.

24 March 1984, John Deacon and Roger Taylor flew to Japan begin a small tour to promote ‘The Works’ album.

There was more filming to be done to complete the video, “I Want To Break Free,” but it didn’t involve Roger or John, so the two of them embarked on a short but strenuous promotional tour of the Far East and Australia to plug Queen’s new album, “The Works.”

They started off in Japan on 25 March, the first of countless interviews were planned. They remained in Tokyo until 30 March.

Then they were off to Seoul, Korea. None of Queen had visited South Korea, and their welcome was warm and enthusiastic. They appeared on live television - a disconcerting experience as they found themselves surrounded by a crowd of interviewers and only one of whom spoke some English. Questions were fired at them and they were handed a microphone to reply. Their every word was met with sounds that they found uncannily similar to sheep bleating, which they discovered afterwards, it was the Korean word, yes.

They were off to Sydney, Australia 2 April for many more interviews with the press and television which lasted another several days.

They had one free day in Australia, and while John slept or did nothing, Roger and Crystal, his personal assistant, hired a seaplane to visit a small, exclusive restaurant that could only be reached by that mode of transport.

All in all, John and Roger covered 112 interviews in about 16 days and they were exhausted after they were finished! WOW! When it was all said and done, they both flew to Spain for a well deserved holiday.

Brian and Freddie remained in London during this timeframe.

Freddie had to rehearse and prepare for his ballet sequence in the ‘I Want To Break Free’ video 🩰

The pictures are from Roger and John’s Promotional tour

How did bel and Harry celebrate Christmas? What did they get each other

thanks for asking lovie 🥺 they had the sweetest day 🤍 (enjoy this 1.4k blurb)

Spending Christmas with Harry and his family for the second year has made her feel lucky. Sarai and Naomi were spending it with Sarai’s extended family in Mexico. Naomi’s parents would spend it with their sons and respective partners this year. It was the first year since Y/N was a teen that she would not be spending the day with Naomi.

Harry’s and Bel’s traditions were different.

Bel loved to dress up on noche buena, better known as Christmas Eve. She would have music playing, and the kitchen would be filled with food from tamales Sarai helped Bel make to flan a sweet caramelized dessert. They would all stay up into the early hours of the morning, opening gifts and enjoying time together.

While Harry’s family celebrations began on the 25th with a breakfast, Harry made with his sister, never letting their mother lift a finger. Opening presents around the tree leads to watching Christmas movies and playing games. Then by the end of the night, it’s a special dinner.

These celebrations are special to them, and Bel, over time, has kept some alive but also changed how she celebrated. Harry also wanted to help intertwine the holiday, and they’ve settled on eating tamales Harry helps her make. She laughs as he struggles to fold each banana leaf tamales. His family stays up until midnight, sharing a present before heading to bed. Then in the morning, Anne and Bel are treated to a cooked breakfast (Bel is a guest and not allowed to do more than decorate cookies). Bel felt a little homesick; not being with Naomi and Sarai but being with Harry’s family has been the perfect cure. She was welcomed with open arms. It was her favorite time because she saw Harry relaxed and happy at home.

Bel even shed a few tears when she saw her own stocking hanging next to Harry’s. It allowed her to feel right at home, knowing Anne saw her as part of the family.

Presents are something Bel is always nervous about giving. She loves wrapping presents and giving them to people she loves, but she’s always a bit anxious waiting to see their reactions, hoping they’d like it, knowing she bought it with them in mind.

Bel got Anne “Love on Tour” cookie cutters from the famous bunny to one shaped of Harry. Anne thought they were absolutely perfect and promised to make a batch with them before they left for New Year’s. Bel got Gemma a vintage coat that Gem mentioned earlier in the year she had wanted but didn’t want to splurge on something. Bel talked with Harry, and he thought it was the perfect gift.

In return, Anne knitted Bel a blanket. It was made of her favorite colors, and she promised to take good care of it. Bel knew it would be the blanket she used to travel everywhere with her. Gemma got Bel a tote with her initials embroidered and lyrics from her favorite song. It’s safe to say they nailed it with the gifts.

Harry wanted to do presents in private, only sharing a small gift. Bel gifted Harry an ornament shaped as “pão de queijo,” and he got a big laugh out of it. He was quick to share it with the band’s group chat. He gave Bel socks with Naomi and Sarai’s faces on them. It was safe to say she was shocked, but she quickly put them on.

As they cleaned up around the living room, opening up the gifts Harry got his family Bel got a call and excused herself.

“You didn’t!” Naomi accuses over facetime. Bel can see them squished together to fit in the frame.

“What are you talking about?”

“You did not buy us an all-exclusive trip to Greece.”

“But I did,” she winces at the shriek Naomi lets out.

“Thank you, Bel. It means the world to us,” Sarai thanked her.

“It’s my pleasure.”

Sarai and Naomi have both talked to Bel about a proposal in 2023, and what better place than to do it at their dream destination.

“Your gift is being shipped to you,” Sarai promises.

Bel shakes her head, “don’t even worry about it.”

They remind her they love her and hang up, leaving her overwhelmed with the feeling of the love she has for them and excited for what the future has in store for her best friends.

“Cariño, ready for presents?” Harry knocks on the door coming in with a box in his hand.

“Ready, amor.”

Harry gives you a few kisses before even thinking about unwrapping his presents.

“You’ll always be the best gift, Bel,” Harry promises her.

Bel feels her face flush. “Harry,” she laughs. “I love you.”

“I love you, baby.”

Harry urges her to open her gifts first. Bel laughs at the wrapping paper scattered with rainbows and mermaids. She likes the paper so much she’s afraid to tear through it, but Harry’s excitement urges her to keep going.

She opens the box and finds two boxes inside. Bel opens the smallest first and finds an anklet with the letter H and his birthstone, amethyst, on it. She remembers the conversation they had months ago, well more like the conversation Harry had with Sarai about how birthstones are important and a common gift given to loved ones when they want to keep someone close to them.

“It’s gorgeous, H. Taking a piece of you wherever I go.”

“Course, lovie.”

Bel can’t help herself and leans in to give him a kiss in thanks, then continues with her final present. It’s a heavier box, and she wonders what it could be. She’s careful to open it and finds a painted photo of Bel and Harry sitting on stage, wrapped up in each other, staring at each other with so much love. It’s her favorite photo.

“This is–wow,” she doesn’t even have the words to describe it.

“Think it’ll look perfect in your house, maybe in your office,” he offers.

She shakes her head, “no, this would be perfect in the living room for everyone to see.” Bel reaches towards him, gently cups his cheek, and gives him a kiss expressing her gratitude. “Te amo, muchas gracias por todo.”

“I love you, Bel. So much.”

Bel knows she could stare at the painting all day but is excited for Harry to see his gift.

“Your turn, amor.”

Harry happily takes his box covered in snowflakes. He tears into it. There are two gifts inside waiting for him. The first gift is a pastel yellow robe with mi amor stitched on the left side, right over his heart.

“I know you were upset about your purple robe having a tear.”

Harry clutches it close to his chest in appreciation, feeling the softness. “It’s wonderful. Thank you.” He reaches for the final item and shakes it. He hears a little clash and wonders what it could be. He opens the wooden box to find puzzle pieces sitting inside.

“It’s a puzzle.” He chuckles, surprised, but quickly begins to dump them on the bed and begins to solve it. Harry pauses as soon as he picks up the first piece and reads what it says.

I love how perfectly I fit in your arms.

Harry looks at Bel before picking up another.

Your smile never fails to make me happy.

“Bel,” he whispers in awe.

“Keep going.”

Harry's smile deepens with each new puzzle piece, and Bel sees how proudly his dimples shine and knows she could happily make it her home. Once Harry places the final piece, he’s in near tears. It’s a few of the reasons she loves him. She wished she could list them all, but she knew it would be a never-ending puzzle. The final shape is a heart. He’s quick to snap a photo of it, then brings Bel to sit in his lap, beginning to shower her in kisses, thanking her for each piece with a kiss.

“I got you a frame for it, too, if you want to display it, or you could keep it in the box.”

Harry shrugs, blinking away his tears. “I don’t know. I want to be able to see this every day, but I also loved finding where each piece fit while reading about how much you love me.”

“Whatever you want, mi amor.”

“All I want is you.”

She rolls her eyes. What a cheeseball.

“Feliz navidad, mi vida. Te amo.”

“Happy Christmas, Bel. I love you.”

Harry pressed his lips against Bel’s, tasting the sweet hot cocoa his mother made, savoring the taste until there was a loud yell of both their names.

“Are you lovebirds done? I want Y/N on my team for charades,” Gemma yells, knocking them out of their own world.

Harry grumbles about how Bel has to be his partner.

Yeah, it was the perfect Christmas.

loving Kendall’s reps denying the Hendall nonsense rumors the tabloid ran with via E!News hahahaha thank you very much :)

Love to see it

Are Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner doing some late night talking?

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, a report surfaced claiming the former One Direction singer was pouring his heart out to his ex after his split from Olivia Wilde.

While The Kardashians star recently experienced her own breakup with NBA player Devin Booker, a source told E! News exclusively that the rumors about Kendall and Harry aren't true.

"She and Harry are just good friends," a separate source on Kendall's side shared with E! News. "They remained friendly over the years and have kept in touch. There's nothing romantic going on, but they do catch up from time to time and have hung out in social settings."

And although the pair reportedly dated on and off from 2013 to 2019, the second source made it clear "they are not rekindling at this moment."

Instead, the pair will continue to remain good friends. Back on Nov. 14, Kendall joined her sister Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber for a trip to the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., to watch Harry perform.

And in 2019, Harry appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he confirmed he was indeed just buds with Kendall.

"Yup, been friends for a while now," he told Ellen DeGeneres. "Like, several years."

As both Harry and Kendall get used to the single life, both parties have a full schedule ahead for 2023.

After news broke that Harry and Olivia were taking a break after nearly two years of dating, a source told People, "He's still touring and is now going abroad. It's a very amicable decision."

As for Kendall, the 818 Tequila founder is focused on family and expanding her businesses after splitting from Devin.

"There's no bad blood, it wasn't an awful breakup," another source previously told E! News. "She's been really busy and is trying to take her company to the next level and is really focused on work."

E! News has reached out to reps for Harry and Kendall but hasn't received a comment.

-Full article published on Nov 29 2022 (link)

TLDR: They're just FRIENDS, have been friends for years, there's no truth to new romance rumors, just friends.

And a nice bit of press for them before the holidays.

Blog Tour and Arc Review: The Lily of Ludgate Hill by Mimi Matthews

Order

Add to Goodreads

Publication Date: January 16, 2024

Welcome to The Lily of Ludgate Hill book tour with Berkley Publishing Group. (This blog tour post is also posted on my Wordpress book blog Whimsical Dragonette.)

Synopsis:

Lady Anne Deveril doesn’t spook easily. A woman of lofty social standing known for her glacial beauty and starchy opinions, she’s the unofficial leader of her small group of equestriennes. Since her mother’s devastating plunge into mourning six years ago, Anne voluntarily renounced any fanciful notions of love and marriage. And yet, when fate puts Anne back into the entirely too enticing path of Mr. Felix Hartford, she’s tempted to run…right into his arms. No one understands why Lady Anne withdrew into the shadows of society, Hart least of all. The youthful torch he once held for her has long since cooled. Or so he keeps telling himself. But now Anne needs a favor to help a friend. Hart will play along with her little ruse—on the condition that Anne attend a holiday house party at his grandfather’s country estate. No more mourning clothes. No more barriers. Only the two of them, unrequited feelings at last laid bare. Finally free to gallop out on her own, Anne makes the tantalizing discovery that beneath the roguish exterior of her not-so-white knight is a man with hidden depths, scorching passions—and a tender heart.

Rating: ★★★★

*My Review, Favorite Quotes, and Non-Exclusive Extract below the cut.

My Review:

I loved this. It was exactly the sort of banter-filled stubborn hero and heroine who are gone for each other but refuse to admit it story that I love. It's easily the best of the Belles of London series. Anne and Hartford are perfect for each other but it takes them a while to admit it. The only problem I had with it was that it was *extremely* predictable. I knew exactly how it was going to go from the beginning and there was no deviating from that. I actually stopped about 75% of the way through and checked goodreads to make sure I hadn't already read it before. I hadn't. And yet I had predicted every. single. thing that happened. It was like deja vu but more so. The last quarter unfolded exactly as I expected it to. I don't know if the foreshadowing was just really intense or what but that did lessen my enjoyment of the story. Aside from that, however, everything else was exactly as I like in a historical romance. I am curious about the next one, as well, after meeting who will obviously be the new wheelchair-bound, artist hero. I have high hopes because neither of those is something we typically get in a romance hero. *Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for providing an early copy for review.

Favorite Quotes:

"I wish I were more eccentric," Anne declared, rousing her spirits to the cause. "I might have traveled to Yorkshire weeks ago and saved Julia from her fate."

Non-Exclusive Excerpt:

The twin fragrances of pipe smoke and parchment met her nose. Lemon polish, too, though there was no sign that the maids had done any recent tidying up. The library was a place of spectacular clutter. Bookcases lined three of the walls; leather-bound volumes on botany, agriculture, and natural history were pulled out at all angles as if an absent-minded researcher had wandered from shelf to shelf withdrawing tomes at random only to change his mind midway through extracting them. The fourth wall was entirely covered in framed sketches of flowers and greenery. Some images were produced in pencil and others in delicately rendered watercolor. They were-along with the teetering stacks of botanical journals and drooping maps that spilled over the sides of the earl's carved mahogany desk-evidence of his prevailing passion. Lord March's love of exotic plants was legendary. He'd spent much of his life traveling the globe, from the wilds of America to the highest peaks of the Himalayas, bringing back rare seeds to nurture into bloom. A distracted fellow at the best of times, but a kind one, too, as far as Anne recalled. It had been a long time since she'd darkened his doorstep. A lifetime, it felt like. She tugged restlessly at her black kid-leather gloves as she paced the worn carpet in front of the library's cavernous marble fireplace. She'd never excelled at waiting for unpleasantness to arrive. Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long. "Hello, old thing." A familiar deep voice sounded from the library door. Anne spun around, her traitorous heart giving an involuntary leap in her breast. Mr. Felix Hartford stood in the entryway, one shoulder propped against the doorframe. Lord only knew how long he'd been observing her. She stiffened. After all these years, he still had the power to discompose her. Drat him. But she wouldn't permit her emotions to be thrown into chaos by his attractive face and figure. What cared she for his commanding height? His square-chiseled jaw? For the devilish glint in his sky-blue eyes? And devil he was. The very one she'd come here to see. "Hartford," she said. Her chin ticked up a notch in challenge. It was a reflex. There was no occasion on which they'd met during the course of the past several years that they hadn't engaged in verbal battle. This time, however, he made no attempt to engage her. He was dressed in plaid trousers and a loose-fitting black sack coat worn open to reveal the dark waistcoat beneath. A casual ensemble, made more so by the state of him. His clothes were vaguely rumpled, and so was his seal-brown hair. It fell over his brow, desperately in need of an application of pomade. There was an air of arrested preoccupation about him, as if he'd just returned from somewhere or was on his way to somewhere. As if he hadn't realized she was in the library and had come upon her quite by chance. An unnatural silence stretched between them, void of their typical barb-filled banter. Greetings dispensed with, Anne found herself at an unaccountable loss. More surprising still, so did Hartford. He remained frozen on the threshold, his usually humorous expression turned to stone on his handsome face. At length, he managed a smile. "I knew one day you'd walk through my door again. It only took you"-withdrawing his pocket watch from his waistcoat, he cast it a brief glance, brows lifting as if in astonishment at the time-"seven years to do it." She huffed. "It hasn't been seven years." "Six and half, then." Six years and five months, more like. It had been early December of 1855, during the Earl of March's holiday party. She'd been just shy of seventeen; young and naive and not formally out yet. Hartford had kissed her under a sprig of mistletoe in the gaslit servants' hallway outside the kitchens. And he'd proposed to her.

But Anne refused to think of the past. Never mind that, living in London, reminders of it were daily shoved under her nose. "You're not going to be difficult, are you?" she asked. "That depends." He strolled into the room. "To what do I owe your visit?" "Presumptuous, as always," she said. "For all you know, I'm here to see your grandfather." Hartford was the only child of the Earl of March's second son-the late (and much lamented) moralist Everett Hartford. Anne well remembered the man. He'd been as straitlaced and starchy as a vicar. Rather ironic, really, given his son's reputation for recklessness and irreverence. "My grandfather is in his greenhouse," Hartford said, "elbow deep in chicken manure. If it's him you've come to speak with, you're in for a long wait." She suppressed a grimace. There was no need for him to be crass. "Really, Hartford." "Really, my lady." He advanced into the room slowly, his genial expression doing little to mask the fact that he was a great towering male bearing down on her. "Why have you come?" Anne held her ground. She wasn't afraid of him. "I've come to ask a favor of you." His mouth curled up at one corner. "Better and better." He gestured to a stuffed settee upholstered in Gobelins tapestry. "Pray sit down."

Don't wanna admit defeat yet but gotta say I did held out a sigh of relief when I saw the FLT merch reveal and gave up on blocked-view seat lottery (you can't choose the seat so if the system gives you 2nd/3rd floor it's over).

Definitely jealousy acting but honestly the FLT merch don't compel me much? The muffler towels are like at-home version of the PB ones, but now I have to decide if I want to bother with pulling a PB set 🙄. The T-shirts are boring though to their credit it's a rather small picture to judge. The only items I'm at 70% want is the costume stickers and maybe the Toufu and Gerojim bags.

I did not do my research and thought only the last LAST show would be brodcast but all three shows on the last day has been paid-livestreamed at least since last year. Honestly, same logic with Chou Eiyuu Sai, not much of a point to pay for a trip if you're just gonna sit waaay back, and I've had 2 3 4 5 times up-close contact with them already...

Plane tickets are at an acceptable cost now and since timing is around a local small holiday, it shouldn't fluctuate by much. Now I'm debating whether I should extend/open-jaw the trip so I can go to Kishi's live and make up for last time's KingOh cockpit tour and Boonboom's G-rosso (+ backstage tour maybe)... (also crossing fingers for a Yuzuki photobook will somehow show up…) 'Cause now Fukuoka FLT is meaningless without Rita singing and I may not be able to make it Hiroshima's first show time-wise... Unless Team Kyushuu is not singing because they are responsible for a Kyushuu-exclusive game?? (impossible)

The devil at the back of my brain is saying "GO GO GO to the Treasure Exhibit" okay... sure... let's see what it's gonna be like when Tokyo opens at the end of this month...

I have reached the zen stage of "if I get to go I get to go" (refresh tweet ever hour) 😅
