Dear @shondarhimes,

Please create a new show based on Doria Ragland.

Thank you,
The World

Because: International Woman of Mystery.

*No relatives (apparently).
*Repels paparazzi hordes with a single contemptuous glance.
*Channels regal radiance all alone in a pew at Windsor.

WHAT'S HER BACKSTORY???

You'll never convince me that single raised eyebrow wasn't a SIGNAL TO HER FORCES. #RoyalWedding

I rest my case. #RoyalWedding

I wish for all my friends in the performing arts the regal poise of Doria Ragland, the mastery of @mskarengibson, and the transcendence of @ShekuKM.

I wish for all my enemies, a Camilla and a Zara Phillips, front and center to the cameras, in their greatest moment.

Today's a good day to think with Keguro Macharia, and other feminist theorists of romantic tropes.
"What if the secret to romance is that it’s always a fantasy about how women survive?"
