Ellie Kemper, better known as vigilant Dunder-Mifflin receptionist Erin, is a piece of Missouri History. The Missouri History in Museum in Ellie (and Pam, and Phyllis)'s hometown of St. Louis, MO, has her VP Queen dress in their collections.
The Veiled Prophet parade is basically a debutant ball for super-rich people in St. Louis. They used to have a connection the Independence Day celebrations in St. Louis, but that's been discontinued.
Here's the dress, from the museum's twitter account.

EDIT: Found VP on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_Prophet_Ball

Title: My Love, On Christmas Day Author: wishiknewwho Rating: G Characters: Ten / Rose, OC (Kira) Dislcaimer: I don't own Doctor Who and it's probably just as well that I don't because it'd be nothing but hugs and hair ruffling for the foreseeable future. Title taken from the song "Christmas Day" by Dido. Spoilers: None for DW; takes place in a world where Doomsday never happened. However, if you intend to read my fic Miles to Go and don't want it spoiled, you might want to wait on this one. Summary: The Tylers watch Christmas films. Author Notes: I failed to post yesterday evening as I was feeling unwell. Thus, you will get at least two, maybe three of these today. Why? Because the holiday season is winding down, and I have to make that January 1 deadline.
Beta'ed by the incomparable salimali and nipplemuggins .

I've been out of the Doctor/Rose fanfiction loop lately. I was wondering if there were any Rose-whump, evil-Rose, Rose in danger, Bad Wolf-Rose, or pregnant Rose fics going on?

domestication, ten/rose, pg (for stillxmyxheart) The Doctor doesn’t do domestic. …Does he? “Doctor,” she said quietly, her face perfectly serious. “If you don’t come out of there and help me clean right this moment, there won’t be any jammy dodgers tonight, and I won’t stay in for that French movie you wanted to watch. I’ll call up Sherine and go clubbing and flirt with some tanned bloke from Oxford.” 1,054 words (...)
