Well that is downright rude and disrespectful. I need a gif of her Norma Desmonding down the stairs after her chemical peel.
Sure we got Scrubs reboot, can we have Cougar Town reboot next?
"the perfect being made the enemy of the good" My brother in Christ, he's doing this to himself. We're just responding to his rightward shift.
Oh, Death, why canst thou not sometimes be timely?
Honestly, News*m supporters are as cultish as Tr*mp supporters.
A post I shared on Facebook criticizing News*m and his shift right on trans rights.
A link to a "news*m trans rights" Google search.
Two articles, one entitled "Gavin News*m shocks LGBTQ allies with criticism of transgender... (athletes)" And "Gavin News*m again pulls back from Dems' LGBTQ+ support"
Cis really thought he ate with this comment. Being like, "Here, let me Google News*m trans rights for you and prove he's an ally." Then, for giggles, I clicked on the link and I fear the results weren't what he expected.
Fuck News*m and fuck anyone from trying to tell a nonbinary person to like him
Four cassettes, RuPaul's Supermodel of the World, Nina Simone's My Baby Just Cares for Me, k.d. lang's IngΓ©nue, and Patricia Kaas' Mademoiselle Chante.
Picked up some cassettes out thrifting today. A pretty good little queer/icon haul. I'm not the biggest fan of RuPaul but honestly I couldn't pass up Supermodel of the World on tape.
Offer people drinks because itβs the right thing to do and do not expect praise from everyone. You are in control of your reaction to the situation and you shouldnβt have allowed this to upset you. Let it go and be grateful for everything else that was good. I bet there was soo much more good than bad. Thatβs a win
Had this jackass who decided to hide behind anonymity rather than be judged comment. If you've ever hosted a room party at a con, you know we don't expect praise. Just don't be an asshole. π€·π»
I need to get something off my chest from Inuhele. At our Pride Party on Friday night, I had someone come up with a friend who had just gotten one of each of my drinks. The other person offered them a sip of each to see which one they'd prefer. They were directly in front of me, tried the first said, "Meh." Tried the second, "Meh." Then said, "I'll take that one, it's not as bad as the other." It was just peak rudeness. These were FREE DRINKS. I was half tempted to tell them to go to any of the other parties if they didn't like my cocktails, but instead just went with a "Wow, that's some faint praise." Anyway. That just stuck with me. Never dealt with anyone that rude before at a party. So PSA, don't be an asshole. If you don't like the drink, you're not obliged to take one.
Once again, I make the mistake of posting on Facebook. Screen cap because it's easier than trying to break this up.
Why did I make a mix that has a monologue at the end? Who knows! But my wings look great, I'm excited to be in Elf Idiot mode all weekend. Made a pole to carry my banner on. I got this.
Y'all, I honestly don't know what I'm thinking. π Inuhele, one weekend off to prepare, then Conpossible. And what am I doing to prepare? Rhinestoning fairy wings, because π³οΈβπ. At least we can't go anywhere because of snow, but hoo boy. Also still have to rehearse my number for ConPossible π«
A banner in blue mottled velvet, with a brown faded damask Ogee arch shape. A crescent moon with a face and an eight pointed starburst full the center. The bottom is an intricate scallop with a layer of bullion fringe and tassel fringe on top to make it extra extravagant.
Been working on this banner for my elf character, MiΕ‘ko. I wanted it to feel very central European, with some Ottoman influence. I pulled some inspiration from 19th fraternal society banners, because I'm a nerd. I'm super happy with how it came out. I'm tempted to add rhinestones though. π€
Crazy how the guy who called a Thai cave diver and trans people pedophiles was trying to hang out with a convicted pedo! What a coincidence!
This thread reminded me of a video I watched about barrister wigs. New barristers will seek out wigs that aren't made with the most stark white horsehair, because that would make them look like they were newbies. The artificial "old for cachet" thing is so weird.
I've been comp masc enough recently. I need to be soft and cute. I just want to be "they'd" for once without having to correct someone beforehand. It sucks basically having to be stealth and appear cis presenting.
I say this every convention, but this will be the one where I finally costume correctly enough to feel androgynous gender euphoria.
A digital illustration of Max Headroom, a shiny, fast/talking electric man who lived inside a TV who we all liked in the 80s. He has a very tall head with an odd stripey blond hair cut and a goofy grin. Heβs wearing white wayfarers and a shiny white, wide shouldered jacket over a lilac colored shirt and black bow tie. The background is intersecting colored perspective lines sort of forming the idea of a box. Colorful type following the perspective of the walls reads βMAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAYβ.
Omg literally any of them would be perfect. π
I saw someone on Letterboxd call the Melania documentary "Triumph of the Shill" and that's a hard one to beat.
Hoo boy. Just found out I have family coming in town the day before the next con (next Thursday). I'm not passing up the chance to see them, but I guess it's time to talk about my name change and identity with them. π¬ I'm gonna need all the good vibes.
I think about this post a lot.
Yo, NRA, you've been waiting for a tyrant who doesn't respect the 2nd amendment to rise up and use your God given rights against. Well, it's your time to shine.
Ugh, I need someone to teach me how to do cute eye makeup. I only know 2006 emo trash raccoon makeup and I want to look cute.
It's truly the worst.
That would be such a good double feature! Enjoy! We're currently watching Death on the Nile (again) and it's just so perfect.
This and the 1982 Evil Under The Sun are peak camp era Poirot. I highly recommend both.
From left to right, Bette Davis wearing a gold sparkly gown, white opera gloves, a gold sparkly choker with pearls and long beaded necklaces, holding a quizzing glass and looking stern. Maggie Smith in a black tuxedo with finger waved hair, smoking a small cigar, and Angela Lansbury looking like a bedazzled bohemian author in a black and gold loose coat, beaded necklaces and a headpiece that feels like it was taken from a 1930s historical fashion drama. Their outfits are textured, richly colored, opulent, with layers, and accessories that make them feel real.
Like, give me this opulence and soft butch Maggie Smith any day of the week.
Why have Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, and Russel Brand when you can have Angela Lansbury, Bette Davis, Maggie Smith, David Niven, Mia Farrow, and Peter Ustinov?
A note to Google. Whenever I look up Death on the Nile, I mean the superior 1978 one, not the 2022 one. I never want the 2022 one.
