On Wednesday, Nick Jonas posted an Instagram that whipped his fans into a wishful-relationshipping frenzy. The photo shows Jonas and Camila Cabello of Fifth Harmony posing together the night of the Billboard Music Awards back in May. Jonas captioned the pic, "That moment when..." and included the happy face sunglasses emoji, so you know what that means! Well, nothing really.

That moment when... 😎

But maybe it does! Never give up hope! At least, that's what Jonas' fans seem to be thinking. Jonas and Cabello have been friends for years, but according to comments on Instagram, his fans really, really want them to date.

Jonas told Andy Cohen that he was still single when he stopped by Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday, saying, "I'm meeting people and hanging out, I'm not in a relationship." But "hanging out"?

That could be something, right? Maybe? Well, his fans are sure hoping so. Only time (and tabloids) will tell.


These high school students snuck an impressively inappropriate photo into their yearbook.

On Monday, the administration at Patrick Henry High School in San Diego, CA found themselves frantically trying to cover up a racy picture in the yearbooks they'd just given out to students the previous Friday. They noticed just a little too late (okay, a lot too late) that in a picture of some girls in bikinis (what kind of high school is this, anyway?), the girls are making references to sex acts, using their fingers (ew) and letters written onto their arms (still ew).

According to students, the girls in the picture are in a "dogpile," holding up finger signs that apparently allude to the sex act "shocker," and they've also got letters on their upper arms spelling out another sex act (which, according to the FOX News broadcast, say "[bleep] his [bleep]," so you can probably guess what that means).

FOX spoke to sophomore Joseph Zizzo, who explained: "Apparently it must've just slipped its way in there" (that's what…she…said?). He added, "Most of the girls in the picture got a lot of privileges taken away." Instead of recalling the yearbooks, the school is now just giving out ones with a sticker covering up the photo.

They sure did!

Listy Gillingham, the principal of Patrick Henry High, sent a letter to parents apologizing for the screw up: "I sincerely apologize that we did not catch the error prior to senior distribution or even before it went to print."

Ah, high school. A time of innocence and personal gro—haha, just kidding. Teens gonna teen.

Revie Schulz, the owner of Crossfit Babes in Miami, gave birth to her daughter six weeks ago. And while the baby, Lexington, is out of her belly, her belly isn't entirely gone. Schulz shared a before and after baby belly photo (she got a new baby AND a new phone case!) to send a message that it's alright to ignore certain ridiculous Instagram trends.

It's been 6 weeks since I had my little Lexington and without contest, it has been my biggest blessing in life. Being her mother is and will be my greatest accomplishment. I post on the daily about how much I adore her and how happy I am, but there are other sides to becoming a mother that I think are really important to speak out about. I’ve found myself several times looking down at my belly. I caught myself feeling sad when clutching the loose skin that was once tight, unmarked and toned. I tried to embrace and remind myself what it was all for but am left feeling so self conscious. I kept telling myself “you knew it wouldn’t be back to normal straight away, give it time,” but it was still a shock and I do get upset about it. And that is perfectly okay. Being in my profession, I used to live in a sports bras and shorts, I wondered ‘Will I ever have the confidence to do that again? I was confused because I felt like I was being ungrateful and vein. But how is suppressing feelings of sadness and insecurity going to work out for me? Trying to undermine those feelings can cause big problems in the future. When speaking to other Mum friends about it, they agreed that they felt like they were the only ones because its not often talked about. So, yes I have never been happier and yes I have a healthy, beautiful baby but that shouldn't mean I bottle up these feelings. I can honestly say, each week, it does get better. I remember thinking ‘Is this forever?’ I have seen so many changes already and am starting to feel content again! Will my body ever be the same? No it probably won’t be and I’ve learnt it will be better in other ways. If you have been following me, you would know I am totally in a love fest over my darling girl, but we gotta look after ourselves too. We’ve all made our sacrifices and each of us are entitled to feel. The best bit of advice. Look. Look at what you created! At any moment, I look at Lexi and happiness washes over me. My body is amazing. So is yours xo For my top tips on positive body image post bub I posted them on my Facebook Page (link in bio) x #postpartumbody #bodyimage

You don't have to "bounce back" after pushing a human baby out of your vagina. Or somehow find time to work out while nursing an infant.

"I’ve found myself several times looking down at my belly. I caught myself feeling sad when clutching the loose skin that was once tight, unmarked and toned. I tried to embrace and remind myself what it was all for but am left feeling so self conscious," she writes, "I kept telling myself 'you knew it wouldn’t be back to normal straight away, give it time,' but it was still a shock and I do get upset about it. And that is perfectly okay."

Schulz felt guilty for worrying about her post-baby body:

Being in my profession, I used to live in a sports bras and shorts, I wondered ‘Will I ever have the confidence to do that again?
I was confused because I felt like I was being ungrateful and vein. But how is suppressing feelings of sadness and insecurity going to work out for me?

When speaking to other Mum friends about it, they agreed that they felt like they were the only ones because its not often talked about. So, yes I have never been happier and yes I have a healthy, beautiful baby but that shouldn't mean I bottle up these feelings.

Now she's sharing her feelings to give hope to other new moms feeling similar anxieties. "I can honestly say, each week, it does get better. I remember thinking ‘Is this forever?’ I have seen so many changes already and am starting to feel content again!" she says, "Will my body ever be the same? No it probably won’t be and I’ve learnt it will be better in other ways."

Schulz wraps the post with words of advice for other moms who feel overwhelmed by things like Fit Moms of Instagram:

Look. Look at what you created! At any moment, I look at Lexi and happiness washes over me. My body is amazing. So is yours xo

It's cool to focus on the baby. You can do sit ups when they're in college.

Trump told people to 'ask the gays' what they thought of him. What could go wrong?

Donald Trump, the guy who would "strongly consider" reversing the legality of gay marriage, is trying really hard to convince everyone he's LGBTQ+ friendly. At a rally in Atlanta on Wednesday, Trump spoke about how Hillary Clinton's campaign took money from Saudi Arabia, a country that has anti-gay laws, and therefore all gay people must love him and hate her.

He then said to "Ask the gays what they think and what they do, in, not only Saudi Arabia, but many of these countries, and then you tell me–who’s your friend Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?" Well, let's see what "the gays" have to say, thanks to the #AskTheGays hashtag that began to trend in response.

Plenty of GIFs from Ru Paul's Drag Race were utilized.

As Trump's delusion that everyone loves him continues, maybe he should consider that supporting LGBTQ+ rights would get "the gays" to like him more. Maybe "the gays" would be more inclined to vote for him if he didn't oppose gay marriage and civil unions. Maybe "the gays" aren't huge Trump fans after he said he would consider rescinding gay marriage nationwide.

Maybe "the gays" aren't riding the Trump train after he congratulated himself after a deadly shooting at a gay nightclub.

Or, maybe—just maybe—the LGBTQ+ community doesn't want to be referred to as "the gays."

Ellen DeGeneres says there's a transgender stingray in 'Finding Dory.' She may be joking.

Ellen DeGeneres told USA Today there's a transgender stingray in Finding Dory, and DeGeneres is voicing the title character in the movie, so she would know. However, DeGeneres is a comedian, so could she be... joking? Probably!

DeGeneres was asked about rumors that the newest Pixar movie included a lesbian (non-fish) couple. "I don't know if she is or if she just has a bad, short haircut," DeGeneres said. "Who knows if she's a lesbian?"

"I'll tell you a little secret," DeGeneres added. "There's a sting ray that's becoming sting Rhonda, so there's a trans sting in the movie."

That sounds like a joke, unlike the lesbian couple (though that didn't stop Breitbart from reporting the stingray news straight-faced, of course). However, it's interesting that this new couple has been reported as the first gay characters in a Disney movie, as if Dory herself wasn't clearly supposed to be a lesbian (why else would a Disney movie not shoehorn in a romance between her and Marlin?).

Author's note: I asked a friend of mine who already saw the movie if it featured a trans sting ray, and he didn't know what I was talking about. So yeah, probably a joke from DeGeneres, or something very, very subtle.

Samantha Mawdsley wrote a nice review of a restaurant on Facebook, which caught the attention of some guy named James, Metro reported. James was very keen to know more about Mawdsley's opinion, specifically regarding his penis.

The complete stranger sent Mawdsley a dick pic over Facebook, with a note regarding her eyes.

Mawdsley responded in kind.

Mawdsley posted her conversation with James in a Facebook album that explained why she engaged this guy.

On Twitter, Mawdsley shared that she got in trouble with Facebook for her "No more d*ck pics" album and a post regarding the photos. As of now, Mawdsley's Facebook is live but her album is not available.

Regarding her personal obliteration of this creeper, Mawdsley told BBC, "I feel like Beyoncé. I've had messages from all over the world, including Germany, Netherlands and even Aruba."

"People have been saying 'You're my inspiration' and 'You've won the Internet.' I've also had guys also saying sorry on behalf of men. I'm so shocked."

This 'Game of Thrones' fan theory about Cersei manages to be bleaker than all the others.

$

Warning: spoilers for season six Game of Thrones ahead, duh.

A recent Game of Thrones fan theory has some interesting thoughts about Cersei, her intentions, and her future. And while every episode opens up new opportunities for guess work and theories, this one actually draws on several clues from earlier seasons.

Cersei learned in the most recent episode that trial by combat is now outlawed, rendering her sure bet—The Zombie Mountain—as useless in her defense. Yet mad scientist Qyburn did bring her some good news: he looked into that thing they talked about, and there's plenty more of it. While they sound like mobsters speaking in code on pay phones, it's almost certain they were talking about stashes of wildfire leftover by the Mad King.

Reddit user Greys88 laid out one of the more convincing fan theories, that Cersei will burn some stuff to the ground using those hidden caches. At the very least, she'll target the Faith Militant (and perhaps much of King's Landing by accident). Viewers already know, from some of Bran's visions earlier this season, that the Mad King stored lots of wildfire around King's Landing. Apparently, Qyburn just confirmed that it's a whole bunch.

The theory notes that Cersei has previously threatened to burn cities to the ground for her children on several occasions.

Additionally, way back in season two, Daenerys had a vision in the House of the Undying which appears to show a torched King's Landing:

There's just one problem for Cersei and her plan of arson: her last surviving child, King Tommen, is tight with the Faith Militant and could accidentally be burned along with her enemies. And that's where it gets really interesting. The loss of her last child could drive Cersei towards madness. Madness and a desire to burn a bunch of people with wildfire is what led to the death of the Mad King, at the hands of none other than Jaime Lannister.

So: if Cersei burns King's Landing and runs, she may later be killed by Jaime. As Greys88 puts it, "Jaime will end up killing Cersei to smooth over relations with the Tyrell family and because she killed their last child."

He would then have killed the Mad King that threatened to burn everyone, and the mad "queen" that actually went through with it. And that would conclude the sad, tragic story arc of Cersei Lannister.

This theory, though, is for now just a theory. It's still not clear what's actually going to happen with that secret stash of wildfire, but you've got to think it's going to burn lots of people, and lots of things, at some point. Otherwise, what's the point?

The only thing better than the 15-hour gun control filibuster was Samantha Bee live-tweeting it.

Samantha Bee and her team at Full Frontallive-tweeted the gun control filibuster held by Senate Democrats. The filibuster, which ended early Thursday morning, was held so Democratic Senators could negotiate a plan to ban gun sales to suspected terrorists in the United States. As a refresher for those who aren't political nerds, a filibuster is a procedural maneuver in Congress that allows members to talk for hours in order to delay votes or obstruct progress.

This filibuster was lead by Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, and Bee live-tweeted the entire process. Here's her crew of "C-SPAN dorks" getting ready for the 15-hour marathon:

She kicked things off with some respect and love for the Senators leading the charge:

In true Bee fashion, she then had some fun at the expense of Republicans, including Ted Nugent:

After the filibuster passed the 10-hour mark, she offered words of encouragement, plus some food:

Bee then ended the live-tweet with two mic drops:

The filibuster appears to have been successful, though there's no official word on whether the Senators received their pizza.

In battle of the overexposed, Kim Kardashian talks crap about Taylor Swift, in the context of Kanye West.

For the July cover story of GQ, Kim Kardashian chatted about the other mega-celebrity that people talk about when not discussing a Kardashian: Taylor Swift. Kardashian and her interviewer Caity Weaver touched upon Swift within the scope of Kanye West's song "Famous," which came out on The Life of Pablo earlier this year.

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

In the song, West raps, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous." West went on a klassic Twitter rant, saying that he and Swift talked over the lyric. West even went so far as to credit Swift for the lines. Swift's rep did not agree.

"Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous.’ "

Fast forward to the present time, when Kim Kardashian shared her two (million) cents. "She totally approved that," Kardashian told Weaver.

The cover of @GQ is here!!! This was seriously a dream come true!!!! 📷 @mertalas @macpiggott

A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

Weaver described Kardashian as "shaking her head in annoyance" upon sharing her version of the story, which goes as follows:

She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't. I swear, my husband gets so much shit for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.

Kardashian kept going, saying that other people were there and "bitch" is a cool word, ya know?

Rick Rubin was there. So many respected people in the music business heard that [conversation] and knew. I mean, he's called me a bitch in his songs. That's just, like, what they say. I never once think, [gasping]‘What a derogatory word! How dare he?’

It all started with @carineroitfeld #BazaarIcons

A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

Kardashian ​claimed that Swift was "playing the victim."

I don't know why she just, you know, flipped all of a sudden.… It was funny because [on the call with Kanye, Taylor] said, ‘When I get on the Grammy red carpet, all the media is going to think that I'm so against this, and I'll just laugh and say, ‘The joke's on you, guys. I was in on it the whole time.’ And I'm like, wait, but [in] your Grammy speech, you completely dissed my husband just to play the victim again.

Here's the speech, with the shade thrown at 2:02.

Kardashian said Taylor Swift's lawyers contacted West and demanded that West delete the footage of her and West discussing the song. When did this all get so dramatic??

Good Night #GQ

A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

GQ talked to West's and Swift's teams. Kanye's people asserted that there is footage of Swift consenting to the song and her lawyers did get in touch.

Swift's reps gave GQ a lengthy statement. The most important parts say that, "Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West."

According to Swift, "much of what Kim is saying is incorrect." Swift and West talked in January, and that's it. "Kanye West never told Taylor he was going to use the term ‘that bitch’ in referencing her. A song cannot be approved if it was never heard." When she did hear "Famous," Swift did not enjoy it. "Taylor heard it for the first time when everyone else did and was humiliated."

Today I begin my 26th year of freaking out over stuff.

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

The statement concludes: "Taylor cannot understand why Kanye West, and now Kim Kardashian, will not just leave her alone." If Taylor's team was trying to get away from the "playing the victim" thing, they should've finished on a different note.

There were hints about new 'couple' Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston in May, remember?

By now, everyone in the world knows that pop star Taylor Swift and British actor/professional handsome person Tom Hiddleston are "dating." Or whatever it is they're doing. Pictures were released of them canoodling on some rocks by the ocean, probably having a long conversation about how wonderfully attractive they both are.

At the same time, Swift's ex Calvin Harris deleted his tweet about their very civil breakup (which Swift had retweeted) and unfollowed her on Twitter altogether. This makes it seem a lot more like maybe she dumped Harris for Hiddleston, right? And honestly, who wouldn't?

There were signs that Swift and Hiddleston had a thing for each other—for example, there's a video of her dancing with him at the Met Gala. Watching the video, one might think, "Hmm, this is the kind of thing that could make a boyfriend jealous, if his girlfriend wasn't so obviously completely in love with him."

A video posted by Carlos Souza (@carlossouza1311) on

But this was around the time when Swift and Harris were on their "we're the happiest couple alive" tour—she'd thanked him onstage at the Grammys, he gave her a locket for their anniversary (hopefully with pictures of her two cats inside), she fangirled over him extremely hard at Coachella, and they took that romantic tropical vacation and instagrammed each other approximately 76,000 times. So it didn't seem like a big deal for her to dance and have fun with another guest at the gala.

Then, in a May interview with MTV UK, Hiddleston gushed about Swift, saying: "I sat next to her at dinner that night and she was very charming. She is amazing. I've seen a couple of her videos. . . She's very cool."

It's certainly very nice of him to overlook their nine year age difference. And what's the moral of the story? Don't ever let your significant other dance with any one but you. Or maybe even talk to or look at anyone but you. Especially if that someone else is a ridiculously handsome man in breezy linen like Tom Hiddleston. You can never be too careful.

PornHub's new 'descriptive porn' for the visually impaired has to be not seen to be believed.

$

Great news! Porn isn't just for people who can watch porn anymore. In a new endeavor branded with the altruistic phrase "PornHub Cares," PornHub is making a move that is equal parts ingenuity and brute capitalism by appealing to the one audience base it hasn't been able to capture yet: the visually impaired.

For obvious reasons, there's a lot to be missed in porn if you are limited visually. Sure, you can hear the occasional sex sounds, but if you can't see, how are you supposed to be able to tell the difference between the sound of slapping balls and somebody forming hamburger patties?

PornHub has decided they can do better.

Enter their new porn category, "Descriptive Porn." Pornhub's taken their most popular films in varying genres and described them in detail for those who can't see.

"Each video includes special narration that has been tailored and crafted to give the user full enjoyment of the scene," CNN reported based on a statement from PornHub. "The original audio remains intact but will act as an underscore to the scene."

So basically, descriptive porn is to the blind as closed captioning is to the deaf.

Here's their safe for work YouTube demo so you can see what its like to hear what the stars are doing and wearing as described by professional voice actors. (If porn has taught us anything, it's that amateur voice actors are coming next.)

"A white woman in a cheap-looking red power suit..." Damn, this narrator is savage af.

Strictly out of journalistic integrity, Someecards has decided to check out the NSFW versions, just to make sure PornHub is really doing its job.

Here's a still image and related caption from a particularly artistic film. Enjoy.

"...You can also see the silhouette of a coniferous tree beside her– or a bush– so it looks like she is outside of an apartment, doing a dance for us."

Yup, it's all there, even acknowledgment for all the hard work of the porn set designer.

Of course, descriptive porn has applications beyond meeting the needs of the visually impaired. This is something you can listen to on your headphones at work while your screen shows you are writing an article, for example. Your bosses will never know.

Hot Australian Liam Hemsworth appeared on The Late Show Wednesday night to promote himself in a way he has never promoted himself before. In a fake (unfortunately, yes) commercial, he advertised a life-sized, anatomically correct Liam Hemsworth doll, but don't even THINK about having sex with it. That's right, although it is advertised to have an exact replica of Hemsworth's peen under those khakis, you are not to sex that doll. Even if you really, really want to. Okay?

Wow! Think of all the non-sex things you can do with a life-sized, creepily smiling Liam Hemsworth doll. You can watch TV next to it, you can hoist him up in a field like a sexy scarecrow, you could drag him to your high school reunion and tell everyone he is your extremely shy husband.

Nah, you'd probably just end up having sex with it.

Third grader's parents informed he needs lunch money by the humiliating stamp on his arm.

Great news for everyone who hates children: an elementary school in Alabama just stamped a child's arm with the phrase "I need lunch money!"

Ugh that smiley face is so passive-aggressive.

Jon Bivens didn't think much of it at first when his third grade son came home from Gardendale Elementary School with a smiley face stamped on his arm.

"I thought it was a good job stamp," he told AL.com. Then, when he read it closely, he realized it read, "I need lunch money."

WTF. How are you gonna stamp a child with message like that?

"They herd these kids like cattle," Bivens said. "He's been branded."

*Artist's interpretation of public school cafeterias.

Damn right. Comparisons between the public school system and factory farms ring truer by the day. Now they are branding children.

"It's a form of bullying and shaming the kids," Bivens continued. "When you start stamping a message on a child's body instead of calling...it's not okay."

No kidding. There are so many levels of wrongness going on here. First of all, this is obviously humiliating. A family's finances shouldn't have to be the child's concern. And they definitely shouldn't be the concern of all of his classmates who, let's assume, know how to read.

Secondly, he's a third grade child, not a giant carrier pigeon. And even carrier pigeons have their messages written on a piece of paper, not their wing. How could this possibly be the school's best method of communication? What kind of education are these children getting when the extent of the school's technology ends at a rubber stamp? Someone should stamp the principal's arm with "I need Internet access."

Thirdly—and least importantly but we are already here—what the hell is going on with the message being in the first-person? We know that kid didn't stamp himself. Is "I need lunch money" supposed to be cute, like it was his idea? Knock it off, he's not a dog you're trying to make famous on the Internet.

As if this story wasn't so bizarre already, Biven's son didn't even need any money! Not that stamping a child as being cash poor is ever acceptable, but Bivens said his kid almost always brings his lunch to school and only uses his cafeteria account to buy treats. He still had $1.38 in his account, and it was the last week of school, so Bivens wasn't going to add more money right before summer.

The school's principal Laura Ware tried to explain things by saying the lunchroom staff uses various forms of communication when a child is running low on funds, including calling and emailing, as well as stickers and stamps. So, what, the stamps are like when creditors start calling you late at night to harass you? In any case, Biven said he never got a call or an email this time, which you would have to assume comes before branding an 8-year-old.

"I don't care if my son has a -$100 balance... I don't care," Bivens told AL.com. "Send me a note home or an email... Where can I draw the line regarding my parental rights?"

He should probably draw that line right across the principal's face with a big, inky stamp.

Woman rants on H&M's Facebook page about how their size 16 jeans are a total joke.

Ruth Clemens, a British H&M shopper, took to the store's Facebook page on Monday to lambaste the fast fashion chain for its tiny size 16, the largest size that H&M stocks in its regular line. (And a British size 16 is the equivalent to an American size 12!)

Posted by Ruth Clemens on Monday, June 13, 2016

It reads:

Dear H&M,

I was browsing your sale items in your Leeds store and spotted this pair of kick flare jeans. They were only a tenner - bargain! - and a size 16. I'm normally a size 14 on my hips (occasionally 16 if buying trousers) so I thought I'd try them on. It did not go well.

As I'm sure you're aware, size 16 is the largest size you stock (apart from in your plus size range, which is very limited in store and does not offer the range of styles for the fashion-conscious that are available in smaller sizes).

I am not overweight (not that that should matter) and although I'm 5 foot 11 my body is pretty average shape-wise. It's already difficult enough for me to find clothes that fit well because of my height, why are you making jeans that are unrealistically small? Am I too fat for your everyday range? Should I just accept that accessible and affordable high street and on-trend fashion isn't for people like me?

You might recognise the top I'm wearing - it's one of yours and it's a size Medium. Sort it out would you.

Also vote remain

She added that "vote remain" at the end of her post after it went viral, in reference to the Brexit referendum. It's hard to believe during an election year, but other countries have politics too!

As the post racked up views—it has currently been shared more than 10,000 times—H&M was quick to respond:

Hi Ruth, thank you so much for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience in store recently. We always want our customers to have an enjoyable time when shopping in store and to leave feeling confident in themselves. At H&M we make clothing for all our stores around the world, so the sizing can vary depending on the style, cut and fabric. We value all feedback and will take on board the points you and other customers have raised.

Commenters on the thread were largely unconvinced by the chain's response. "Well that is a VERY unsatisfactory response from H&M," one person wrote. "Just another reason on the list why I refuse to shop there. I have a very close friend who is a size 18 and needed work trousers on a budget, she is young and didn't earn a lot at the time, I recommended she try your plus size range. Can you imagine how heart broken she was when the only pair you had in the range was a plus size 28?"

At the same time, it's hard to imagine this problem happening in America, where vanity sizing is mostly so out of control that Chris Christie probably wears a size zero.

Naomi Campbell's first attempt at a sponsored Instagram post on Thursday revealed a lot more than she intended. The post, for Adidas, was originally made by copying and pasting the entire email she received with instructions on what to post. She's not the first celebrity to do this, and probably won't be the last.

Here's her original post:

Naomi,

So nice to see you in good spirits!!!

Could you put something like:

Thanks to my friend @gary.aspden and all at adidas - loving these adidas 350 SPZL from the adidas Spezial range. [emojis] @adidasoriginals

She revised it quickly, and likely still gets easy money and free shoes:

The only lesson Naomi learned from all of this is that you can very easily edit an Instagram post after it goes live.
