The Countess then got a blade from her gloves, cut her breasts - with Ramona passionately licking it all up, insisting: ‘It was glorious.

Game of Thrones may be a tale of fire and ice, but it’s also a tale that’s served some serious looks over the course of its soon-to-be eight seasons. From the heavy winter furs sported by Jon Snow and the Starks in the North to the ethereal dresses (and later, Dothraki warrior leather ensembles) favored by Daenerys Targaryen, there was fashion to be found in all the Seven Kingdoms. While many of the style choices were practical, especially when it came to region (one would hardly wear a fur while living in Dorn) or occasion, clothing was also a strong way to show the evolution of a character and their relationship to power and the Iron Throne — Cersei’s cropped hair and black leather gowns after taking the throne as the Queen of the Andals and the First Men might be the most prescient example of this.

The U.S. Senate’s Interior Committee finally approved one of the most controversial of President Kennedy’s political appointees last week, but not without a wrangle that caused a sensation in the placid Virgin Islands and some raised eyebrows in Washington. At issue was the appointment of Millionaire Democrat Ralph Paiewonsky, 53, to be Territorial Governor of the Virgin Islands.

However, on Friday, June 9, 2023, President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele from office with immediate effect.
