Krystal Miller is a mother of two in Perth, Australia, and she lives with an ileostomy bag. Diagnosed withCrohn's disease, Miller had a part of her bowel removed, and wears an ileostomy bag in its place. On her blog, Bag Lady Mama, Miller writes about "how [she lives] as a babylady and how we can still rock our worlds with our bellys out!"

One of her many empowering post talks about feeling sexy after surgery.

She writes about meeting a hot guy at a bar, and being anxious to tell him about the ileostomy bag before getting it on:

I really wanted to be dragged away and swept off my feet, but I was nervous about telling some stranger about my bag! Id never had a one night stand before! How the hell do you tell some random that you have a bag, and how the hell do you explain why?!

Anyways, I caved! This gorgeous guy was into me as much as I was and I told him "Look I have a bag. I have had bowel surgery. This is why I cant go home with you!"

His response will stay with me for the rest of my life! " I already know! " Huh?! How the hell could he possibly know I had a bag?! Well the switched on bugger had put 2 and 2 together while we were dancing! Sooooooo... he said, wanna come home?! YEP!

My first and only one night stand! It made me feel so good that some stranger could want me and want to be with me even though he didn't love me, he didn't have to go home or take me home with him that night. That guy could have had anyone in that club that night, but he chose me!

The confidence and the change in me was instant! I felt sexy again, I felt empowered! I felt like a woman who was still desirable!

Miller shares light hearted selfies to celebrate her body, and also serious posts that candidly chronicle the nature of the disease.

She writes:

The excruciating pain in my stomach was like poison running through. I remember I'd sit on the toilet for hours and feel the poison leaving my body, only for it to return the moment I stood up.

There were even times that I'd be sitting on the toilet screaming and crying in pain. My boyfriend at the time would have to pick me up off the toilet and carry me to the shower. I couldn't even wash myself .

Not long after that I had my surgery. I was 22 and single and it was the best time for me to mentally get used to the new me.

Miller describes the specifics of the disease with humor and heart:

My surgery was a total proctocolectomy and permanent Ileostomy. They removed 6kgs of diseased bowel. Since I needed a permanent Ileostomy they also needed to remove my rectum - Que. my fav part! The butt jokes!!!

Joke #1 the only asshole I have now is... My darling hubby.

Joke #2 when hubby says (look away now Shannon's family) if you had a butt... My reply is always "baby, you find it you can have it!"

Now let me tell you, having your asshole cut out and stitched back up is FREAKING painful! Then when they are mean and don't put dissolvable stitches... Well you can imagine what that's like having them removed!!!

Having my first surgery literally saved my life! It was the best thing that ever happened! I moved to Darwin to start Uni a few months later then a year later to Greece!

I spent 3 years in Greece and the U.K. BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE!!!

Miller is inspiring people—with and without bags—to love their bodies and focus on what really matters. 

Most of the time, all that a good photobomb gets you is a bunch of retweets, but one woman photobombed English musician Tinie Tempah so spectacularly that she landed a modeling contract out of it. Could this dolphin be next?

Tempah was visiting Nigeria, his parents' home country, and posing for a photoshoot there when a woman carrying a bag of bread on her head walked into the frame at the perfect time.

In the Instagram caption, photographer Ty Bello asked her followers for help finding this woman:

BEATIFULX : WHO IS SHE.Every one has been asking if this lady is a model .. It was just perfect coincidence ... She just happened to be walking by while I photographed . It happened so fast .She definitely SHOULD be a model. .. I'm happy to help her build a portfolio if she's interested .She's so beautiful and photographed so well. I'll find a way to track her down somehow . You guys can also help

After a week, Bello managed to track her down and find out her name: Olajumoke Orisaguna.

Though Orisaguna didn't speak much English, Bello was able to find out that Orisaguna, 27, was "a hair stylist from Ire in Osun state but not making enough profit between she and her husband, a sliding door installer in from same village, to care for their two young children," wrote Bello. "At the invitation of a distant relative who knew someone operating a bakery, she relocated to Lagos with her 14-month-old daughter to give bread hawking a try, leaving her husband and older 5-year-old behind."

Bello then photographed her for a Nigerian magazine:

And a few days later, Orisaguna had signed a modeling contract with a local agency:

If only you looked as good when you were accidentally photographed. 

Cleveland High School in Clayton, North Carolina is attempting to get its students ready for prom season with this truly groan-inducing video called "So You Think You're Prom 'Propriate?" It shows the girls (and just the girls) what they "should and shouldn't wear to prom." According to the Daily Dot, the video was uploaded in December but is just now making the rounds online.

The video, which was reportedly completely "student run and organized," starts with students pretending to be a panel of judges. Then a fashion show starts, and just like in the real world of fashion, it takes the form of catalog pictures in sets of three.

This first set of dresses is met with enthusiastic check marks from the judges (Hooray! Check marks!), and a soundtrack of fake cheers and applause. These ladies are doin' it right! Way to be prom 'propriate, catalog models!​

This second set of photos gets boos from the crowd and x's from the judges.

But the third set of dresses is so offensive to the high school crowd that despite being censored, the audience has already started to riot, and an alarm goes off indicating some sort of DEFCON situation. LADIES, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

The judges have no choice but to freak out and flip the table. Thank god the catalog models weren't actually in the auditorium because those pissed off students would have torn them and their ombré taffeta to shreds. 

Tracey Peedin Jones, the Public Information Officer for Clayton's school district, told Uproxx that the video was made in response to problems that came up surrounding last year's prom. While she didn't go into specifics, she did say: “The prom’s such a special event for our children that we wouldn’t want it to be ruined by any confusion.” Confusion about what? About whether or not the prom's dress code was outdated and sexist? Well, they cleared that right up with this slideshow of dos and dont's for ladies prom wear.

Cleveland High's prom dress code dictates that dresses have splits no more than three inches above the knee, no dresses with necklines lower than a sweetheart cut, no sheer materials, no nude colors (apparently even the illusion of skin is offensive), and definitely no bare midriffs, or may god have mercy on your soul. 

Don't worry, ladies, here are some options that are stylish and completely fit the dress code. 

All right, gals, have a great time at your prom, and remember, don't have any skin!

Ashley Bouder, a principal at the New York City Ballet, instagrammed a video of herself acing that classic ballerina turn known as a fouetté, which is even more impressive because her six-and-half-month pregnant belly did not come close to throwing off her impeccable balance.  

"Still spinning away in ballet class......" Bouder captioned the video, in which she and her baby twirl around more than a dozen times. While Bouder's dancing suggests she's not suffering from morning sickness, watching her spin around on repeat could very well induce those symptoms in viewers.

Bouder's shared a few other pregnancy ballet photos, too.

During the holiday season, Bouder and her baby bump appeared in the famous Nutcracker ballet.

Some days you just love your job. I got to dance and live in Balanchine's Waltz of the Flowers twice and my love came for round 2. Beyond thankful for his support, my colleagues and friends support, and that of the New York City Ballet for letting me be me out there at 4 months pregnant.

That baby already has such an enviable resumé. 

Larry David's SNL hosting gig this week primarily made headlines for his impersonation of fellow elderly Brooklyn Jew Bernie Sanders. But Larry apparently preferred his "Kevin Roberts" sketch, also known as "FBI Simulator." 

In case you missed it because you don't watch SNL offline anymore, the sketch is about a G-man cadet, Kenan Thompson, in firearm training with "lifelike" dummies played by Vanessa Bayer and Bobby Moynihan. Kenan's got to decide who's a threat, who's an innocent, and who the hell is Kevin Roberts.

Larry plays that mysterious Kevin, a "man in a neon suit, holding a cell phone claiming to be the 'coolest bitch in town.'"

Larry, master improviser that he is, still cannot keep himself from giggling like he's chatting with Jeff Greene over a tuna sandwich.

Sometimes people need a little help from Google to find that perfect Valentine's Day gift, and Estately discovered that what they search for varies a great deal from state to state. By running "hundreds of possible gift-related search queries through Google Trends," Estately did their best to calculate the most popular gift queries by state.

Some searches are wholesome, some are sexual, and some are surprising. Kentucky is really committed to couples tattoos, while Tennessee is on the hunt for cheap sex toys.

Ryan Reynolds' press tour for Deadpool has been charming anecdote after charming anecdote. So you can't be blamed for imagining yourself bound to him in holy matrimony, but Blake Lively got there first (and, well, Scarlett Johansson before her.)

Reynolds explained this week that the secret to their marriage isn't only being equally, ridiculously good looking, but also a combination of tasteful fondling and levity during labor. While Lively was busy pushing a person out of her body, Reynolds decided to add some comic relief by playing a little Marvin Gaye. ("Getting it on" being what brought them to the delivery room nine months later.)

While he doesn't advise pulling that gag, he had some other tips for future dad Seth Meyers.

So damn charming, even if he doesn't make the best hospital playlists. 

Meryl Streep, presiding over the jury for the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival along with a bunch of other white people, bombed hard when an Egyptian reporter posed a question about her ability to understand films from "the Arab world and North Africa," according to the AP. 

Streep's response has landed her on Twitter's trending topics for all the wrong reasons: "I've played a lot of different people from a lot of different cultures," said Streep. "There is a core of humanity that travels right through every culture, and after all we're all from Africa originally," she added. "Berliners, we're all Africans, really."

Twitter was baffled:

Streep—who has portrayed women from a smattering of countries like France, England, and America—spoke further, even lauding the diversity of the Berlin jury.

"I'm very committed to equality and inclusion of people of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions," she said. "There should be inclusion. This jury is evidence that at least women are included and in fact dominate this jury, and that's an unusual situation in bodies of people who make decisions," Streep said. "So I think the Berlinale is ahead of the game."

The rest of the seven person jury consists of: Lars Eidinger (white German male), Clive Owen (white British male), Nick James (white British male), Brigitte Lacombe (white French female), Alba Rohrwacher (white Italian female), and Malgorzata Szumowska (white Polish female). 

Yes, great progress—it's 2016 and a major international film festival jury is all white people. 

An unsuspecting father, his adorable daughter, their anthropomorphic oven: in the annals of face swap history, few face swaps come close to being as hilariously wrong as this one. Maybe technology is trying to tell us we've gone too far—that if we keep switching faces, eventually humans and knob-eyes robots will be interchangeable. Or maybe this is some really amazing viral marketing by Pixar for their new movie about a stove who wants to be a real girl. Admit it, you'd see that.

Kristin Davis went on an Australian "brekky show" to talk about her humanitarian work with refugees, but they ambushed her with cheesy wigs and a transcript of a season four episode of Sex and the City. 

Davis wanted to discuss her new role working with the United Nations Refugee Agency, but was thrust into her old role of Charlotte York instead. Prepare to cringe:

People began tweeting at Davis to say that #NotAllAustralians would make her do that, and she was very understanding.

Points to Davis for being a good sport on the air, and for not going full Charlotte on their asses:

Maybe she's more of a Miranda?

Very pretty pop star Ellie Goulding (you know, of that song) was compared to a horse by a British tabloid, and she didn't fight it: she agreed with it. It helps, of course, that this specific horse specifically looks a ton like Goulding, down to the flowing blonde mane. It gives the Adam Driver cat a run for its money.

Yup: even on Goulding's own Instagram, she admits the comparison is "#uncanny." It's just too bad she already has a music video for "Guns and Horses," because her doppelganger would have been perfect for it.

The look-a-like horse was spotted during Mongolia's Winter Horse Festival, according to The Daily Mail, and has a long mane in part to keep it warm in cold conditions. It's unclear if Goulding has her mane for the same reasons.

This is Juniper, an adorable pet fox who is, according to her bio, Instagram's "happiest fox." With almost 100,000 followers, she's already Instagram-famous, and thanks to this video of her pouncing on a white bed sheet like she thinks it's a snowy field, now she's straight up Internet-famous, too.   

Bored Panda contacted her owner, who explained the pouncing behavior: "Foxes have a very high prey drive, meaning that they will attempt to hunt due to their natural instincts. Juniper and all foxes pounce in this way when they hear a scratching noise which to them resembles the sound of a mouse under the snow or ground.”

Here's Juniper pouncing in slooooooowwwww moooooooootiiiiioooooooon. 

Juniper is almost always smiling.

Sometimes Juniper wears a sweater. 

And sometimes a dress. 

And here's Juniper in a bowtie. 

There's absolutely no denying that Juniper is cute.

 Like, ridiculous cute.

Like, lose your mind cute. 

And as a baby? She was so cute you could just eat her whole and burp up her little fox bones (what? That's a normal feeling, right?).

But before giving in to that "Awwww, I WANT A FOX!" feeling, you should know that according to Juniper's owner, raising a fox is not easy. Juniper is a domesticated fox, which is not  the same thing as "tame."

In the caption to one of Juniper's Instagram posts, her human elaborates: “Foxes smell. Bad. Their urine and feces smell like skunk mixed with ammonia. There is no way to ‘de-scent’ a fox. You cannot keep a fox indoors 24/7…
Foxes are destructive, they will destroy things in your house. Foxes must be fed some raw meats and bone content in their diet. They also need taurine, or they can go blind, suffer from seizures, and even die…” 

In another caption, she writes: 

I know I post a lot of cute pictures of Juniper and she looks very calm and easy to handle, this occurred after much work and even now she still has her days when she's difficult. This misinformation will inevitably lead to people taking on an animal they do not understand, expecting it to act one way and the animal being destroyed when it acts exactly how it should. Foxes are not like dogs. While they may display some characteristics similar to dogs these animals have not been bred to want to please people, while dogs on the other hand have. These animals are prone to biting and destructive behavior. They require an extensive amount of time and care to get them to the point where they are even sociable. Juniper takes up 90% of my day. If you don't want to get bitten.. Don't get one. If you don't want to clean up pee constantly.. Don't get one. If you want something to cuddle in the bed with you every night...Don't get one. 

If you're thinking you really do want a fox, read this first to learn about them as pets. And if you're wondering if it's even legal to own a pet fox in your state, check out this site. 

Seems like it's a safer bet to just enjoy someone else's pet fox. Here, enjoy this tiny smiley baby all you want. 

Duncan Jones, David Bowie's only son, announced on Twitter Wednesday that the rock legend knew he was going to be a grandfather. Bowie passed away in January, shortly after releasing one last wonderful album: Blackstar.

Jones had previously shared few details about his father's passing—mostly that his final album was a reflection on his legacy and imminent death. It turns out Bowie was able to receive some wonderful news just before the end: that he would be a grandfather, because Jones's wife Rodene is pregnant. Jones tweeted the way he broke the news to Bowie, proving that idiosyncratic humor runs in the family:

Rodene shared her own funny take on the news, now that it's public knowledge:

While it's tragic that this kid will grow up without the coolest grandfather of all time, at least he'll hear many, many, glorious stories about him.

After what she felt was a disagreeable meal at the Michelin-star restaurant Purnell's in England, an Irish woman wrote a scathing and grammatically egregious review on TripAdvisor.

Aside from deeming it "just immoral to charge such prices," the woman also suggested that the English restaurant's noted chef Glynn Purnell check out the TV show MasterChef. Purnell responded by pointing out that this woman really should've spoken up at the time and that perhaps Man v. Food would be more to her television tastes. It was a regular old Internet smackdown.

Though the review disappeared from TripAdvisor, Metro published both the diner's and Purnell's words.

The review read:

I have been to many Michlen star restaurants in my life and I have to say that Purnells has been the very worst for food and the cost of the food. £68.00 the 6 course tasting menu for tiny quenells of food on a plate with a sprinkling of leaves is just sinful in this day and age.The St Austelle musselsconsisted of 2!!!! Mussels in a dish with about a tablespoon of Finely shreeded pickled cucumber!!!!!As 2 of the partu were not able to eat shell fish the only alternative was A sliver of Monkfish at an additional cost of £10 per person.It is unbeliveable that if one has an allergy to a certain food that they should be asked to pay extra or do without that sliver of the course.Another member of the party had an allergy to fish The Scottish halibut! I asked for an alternative and was presented with approximately a serving spoon of Beetroots!!I Just unreal!! All of our party are good meat eaters and would have no problems with any normal cuts of meat. I asked the head waiter prior to taking the order about the Slow Cooked Daube of beef. I advised him that I would not like it. He went to great lengths to advise me that it was superb and I would enjoy it, I asked for an alternative like a vegetarain option instead but nothing could be offered as an option. It was indeed a daube!!! of cows Cheek. When I realized what was on my plate I had to excuise myself from the table due to feeling ill. he lemon meringue pie was the tin hat of the meal. 2 little pies were brought to the table and ceremoniales cut in half!!!! served with a quinell of ice cream. !!

We were a party of 4. We had been given a voucher as a christmas gift for 2 and we invited another couple to join us for the evening. our voucher was for £150.00 and our bill was £371.70 which included discresionary ervice charge. As we were in company It was not suitable to challange all this at the time as it would have been an embarazzing situation for our guests. We also flew over from Ireland to go to Purnells. In hind sight we would have been better off to have thrown the voucher away.

Opon our return to Ireland last evening I called Purnells to outline exactly what I have stated in this review. The Manager said he would bring the comments to the attention of his manager and the hef.

In conclusion we feel that is just immoral to charge such prices for food whereby the actual content or amount of food served to a client would cost undet £7.00 at max. We dine out a lot and we have no problem paying for beautiful good food with flavours and we like tasteful food.

We had really been looking forward to visiting Purnells but what a LET DOWN .

Maybe the chef should watch Masterchef The Professionals for a few lessons to see how food should be served and give some decent portions of wonderful food not just the content of a decent starter over 6 courses. a starter for £68.00

After unhappily learning what a tasting menu is and that Michelin restaurants tend towards the pricier side, the woman received a lengthy response from Chef Glynn Purnell.

“Michlen or Michelin”

Message to the author – Thank you very much for ensuing your threat of going to social media following our telephone and email conversations.

Having spoken to this “reviewer” over the telephone on Tuesday night, we were shocked to hear that her and her party had a bad experience. We were not made aware of any issues during their dining experience.

We would like to address a few things about this report;

• We DID NOT charge extra for the monkfish as she has claimed. We have a copy of the receipt and there is no record of this.
• We were not informed prior to their visit that a member of the party was pregnant, so as a restaurant on a busy Saturday night we had to adjust and create a new menu for a guest that could have affected our service for the whole evening.
• Had this guest stated she was not happy with the daube of beef we would have done something else or offered an alternative. It clearly seems this reviewer does not like the fact we want to rectify an issue she has brought up but is not willing to accept anything from us.
• If all 4 diners were embarrassed and it was in fact the worst food, I am embarrassed for them not having enough courage to express themselves on the evening. These are 4 adults all upset by their dining experience who ate all 6 courses without once alerting us to the fact that they were not enjoying it.
• Having dined in several Michelin star restaurants I am amazed this was her first review! I worry for all the other establishments she is going to! She is clearly self-conscious and defensive and happy to slander an establishment.
• The 12.5% service charge that was and is added to the bills is discretionary and can always be removed. And why should you feel embarrassed to ask for it to be removed? If I am asked to pay for something that I feel I have not received I would refuse! The service charge was £41.30 (and has now been refunded).
• The gentleman that paid the bill quietly organised it at the bar away from the table. This was a perfect opportunity for the service charge to be questioned, for him to let us know how very terrible the evening had been. There were no guests within earshot so there would have been no reason for any embarrassment. However, when asked how the meal was he responded positively. The gift voucher was not presented at the time of the payment, yet we kindly obliged to take it off the bill and collect the voucher at a later stage. This was arranged with the gentleman and was handled very discreetly as requested. There was no fuss what so ever.

We wrote an email to acknowledge the feedback following the telephone call. We offered the party a complimentary meal and a full refund of the service charge. This was declined and the lady stated that she would use this site as a tool for being detrimental to our business and 30 members of staff. Not to mention a dedicated and passionate Chef/patron who has helped develop the culinary dining scene for the people of Birmingham. They are clearly not willing to compromise with us, which shows how social media has changed the way a restaurant has to operate and how guests’ can influence and affect the organisation.

Should any person reading this report or any other establishment find it useful, please do not visit the restaurant.

In regards to Masterchef, Glynn is well celebrated and well received in the public scene. Perhaps this reviewer would have more satisfaction from watching Man versus Food. We want guests to enjoy their experience here at Purnell’s, and if we don’t meet their expectations then we apologise. Food is subjective, we are not right or wrong, but this is our belief and ethos. Everyone has their own right and opinion and we fully understand that we may not be to everybody’s taste. When this is the case, feedback is welcomed and used constructively. When feedback is false and littered with lies it is not welcomed and as an independent restaurant we will fiercely dispute any attempts to blacken our name. This review is not based on fact and we have tried to contact the author to discuss and settle this and strangely she has not taken our calls.

Nicely done, Purnell. 

If there were a Michelin rating system for responses to unfair reviews, Purnell would get a star.  

The combination of local news coverage and the rediscovery of a heartbreaking letter written by his original owners finally resulted in a permanent home for Roofus, a sweet Weimaraner mix who was surrendered to a Bradenton, Florida animal shelter six years ago. 

Now 10 years old, Roofus was adopted twice since he was brought to Bishop Animal Shelter in October, 2010, but unfortunately, he was returned both times. Shelter staff recently came across a letter his original owners had included when they were forced to bring him there for financial reasons. 

The letter, hand-written in 2010 in first person as though Roofus wrote it himself, reads: 

My name is Roofus. My family loves me very much but they have fallen on hard times. My daddy lost his job a year ago and can’t find a new one. My mommy tells me they have to downsize to a smaller apartment and can’t afford to keep me. I will miss my two-legged siblings so much. They keep crying and hugging me, begging mommy and daddy not to take me back to the shelter. I remember being at the shelter before. Your staff is very kind and nothing compares to a family. My family is very sad to give me back to Bishop but they know you’ll find me a new family that will love me just as much. They’re including my bed and favorite toys. Please find me a good home.

Love,

Roofus

The Bishop shelter staff decided to share the note with WFLA News Channel 8, in hopes of giving Roofus another shot at finding his forever home, and within just one day, their plan worked. 

According to News Channel 8, Karen Duffy saw the segment on Roofus when it aired and "froze in her tracks." She said she was immediately in love and the very next morning she drove the almost two hours to the shelter and brought Roofus home to live with her and her husband. Duffy thanked the news station for having Roofus on the broadcast, since she wouldn't have found him otherwise, and claims she's the "lucky one." 

He’s adjusting quite well. Roofus now has a backyard to play in, a huge bed, and a family that loves him. He’s also grown very attached to Duffy, and she’s very thankful she watched the news that day.
