Do Americans have any words other than "hot" to refer to attractive people? Seriously.

by Anonymousreply 8December 29, 2019 3:37 PM

The stage was set in a pretty woodland glade in Sevenoaks, a posh area of Kent with gated communities where “this sort of thing” doesn’t normally ever happen. Strange.

They both resemble Orlando Bloom a little bit, who also comes from Kent. I wonder if there’s any distant relation?

R16, I was confused by that as well. I think it meant to say:

TV TWINS DEAD Twin brothers, 32, found dead after 'joint suicide' , have now been identified as "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" stars

by Anonymousreply 17December 29, 2019 4:04 PM

They may not have been classically handsome, but they had cute faces and rockin' bodies. It's always extra sad when attractive people kill themselves. Suicide should only be for the unattractive.

Kind of hawt, yes, but at 32, they were approaching their gay expiration date anyway.

The twin brothers who starred in the British reality-TV show My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and died in a tragic suicide pact this weekend may have taken their lives after one of them was diagnosed with cancer, it emerged Monday.

Billy and Joe Smith, both 32, had both also been suffering from depression, reports say, and British advocates for Roma travelers say their deaths should serve as a wakeup call about the mental-health challenges the marginalized group faces.

Phoebe Charleen Smith, a cousin of the two men, told The Telegraph: “Joey had cancer, and Billy told him ‘I’d never be able to live without you.’

“Joey told the family he got the all-clear after chemo two months ago, but we don’t know if that’s true now.

I don’t think they should.

I have perfect health, myself, but associate cancer with smoking, chemically foods, asbestos, lead paint, getting HPV or something from unprotected butt sex (like Farrah Fawcett got), etc. etc.

Just because 1 twin was exposed to those things doesn’t automatically mean the other would be.

If 1 twin got a cavity from not brushing his teeth, do you assume the other twin would suddenly get one, too?

[quote]Roma people aren’t Italian. They’re from Romania.

The Roma/Romany people are not Romanians, either. They originated in Northern India. National Geographic published an entire book detailing their migration from India through Europe. Jan Yoors also wrote about his travels with a Romany family as a child. His book explains the reasons behind a lot of their customs.

Offsite Link
by Anonymousreply 88December 31, 2019 3:01 PM

A little bit about Yoors, if anyone is interested. Sorry to report that there are no hot twin suicides in his books, though.

"Jan Yoors was born in Antwerp, Belgium to a cultured, liberal family of artists. At the age of twelve he ran off with a Gypsy tribe and lived with the kumpania on and off for the next ten years. (His memoir of this period, “The Gypsies”, was published in 1965 and remains a seminal work on the subject.) During World War II, Yoors worked with the Allies to help the Gypsies who were being systematically exterminated. He was captured twice and imprisoned until the end of the war (these experiences were recorded in his book, “Crossings”, published in 1971)."
