Maisie Williams Is Here To Slay In Her New Gig Following The Finale Of 'Game Of Thrones'
May 21 | 2019
Several times throughout the events of Game of Thrones Arya Stark asked:
"What's west of Westeros?"
Well now we know.
It's Maisie Williams as a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race UK henny!
<p>Don't you worry, no <em>GoT </em>spoilers are going to be found in this article.</p><p>Now that George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy has come to a close, Williams is wasting no time preparing for a new battle for the throne. However, this time it's The Rhinestone Throne.</p><p>The news broke on World of Wonder's Instagram account with the following post:</p><div id="f8d67" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="8WVEQB1568274900"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-version="4" style=" background:#FFF; border:0;

Everyone's Loving Two Teens Whose Learning Disabilities Won't Stop Them From Serving Fabulously Fierce Prom Poses
May 19 | 2019
There is nothing quite like the undeniable joy you get from watching two teens having a blast and living their best lives.
Livi Dorsey and Jawon Kimmons were doing just that as they were taking photos for their prom and striking every pose imaginable.
Of course, the poses and looks were iconic.
<p>As seen in the viral <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/living/story/teen-serving-prom-poses-love-millions-facebook-63050174" target="_blank">video</a>, which has now garnered almost two million views, Livi Dorsey is nothing short of an embodiment of joy. </p><p><strong>Watch for yourself. </strong></p><div class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="a26b813d6e37712265d41fdc8edcc987"><div class="fb-video" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/moss.bloc.37/videos/418196659006294/" data-allowfullscreen="true"></div></div><p><br></p><p>Every time her family asks for a new pose, she delivers like Beyoncé delivers any time she walks out on stage. Which should come as no surprise as the 18 year old is a huge fan of Queen B.</p><p>But, of course, we can't forget her date, Jawon Kimmons, who was serving up his own lewks while rocking his flattop haircut. </p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

Everyone is having such an incredible time that they won't let anything get them down.</p><div class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="eac54f67543a6469705793ecc51bf108"><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/moss.bloc.37/posts/423262468499713"></div></div><p>Both sets of parents each had something to say about how inspiring they found the whole event. <br></p><p><strong>Jawon's mom, Doretha Kimmons, was quoted saying:</strong></p><blockquote>"He gave her a gift basket with a teddy bear, a big bar of chocolate and roses. He's not very verbal because he has autism. I have a very good friend...she made him a sign that said, 'Will you go to the prom with me?'"</blockquote><p><strong>And she responded to the video by saying:</strong></p><blockquote>"It's just mind-blowing how viral that went -- it's just beautiful. I had never been around a person with Down syndrome, but it was just amazing to me to see her [reaction]. Everyone was cheering her on."</blockquote><p><strong>While Livi's father said:</strong></p><blockquote>"It touched people because it was an innocent moment."</blockquote><p>Needless to say, both parents are over the moon that their children have been able to bring smiles to so many others through their poses.</p><p><br></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
