(I tried so hard to drink Orbitz back in the day. I loved the concept! I loved the look. I was even into the flavours. But the texture and my undiagnosed autism were mortal enemies.)
It would have to be a short run limited time thing, because the enthusiasm would wane pretty quickly once people actually tried to to drink it. But I still think they should do it.
Isn't NTBTSTM big enough at this point to merit Clearly Canadian doing a stunt Orbitz rerelease?
Oh, those were dress up mod tights! I did these in a trusty pair of Costco leggings. (And a Tetsuya Endo shirt)
Things are generally horrifying but I just did the best hanging leg raises of my life.
From the mall to the telephone tower!

I clicked that link so fast.
sqwad!!
Done!!
I can't believe us icky girls with our girl germs are ruining autism the way we ruined Star Wars and video games and professions like nursing and teaching. Shame on us!
I made some important content today.
Thank you! I’m pretty pleased with the whole look.
Anyone want to listen to my mom talk about hockey and her Instagram takes? She's great, and the hosts were lovely, too. (I'm also there, but I mostly nod and say uh huh.)
A white woman with shoulder length blonde hair and black hipster glasses sits sideways in a Herman Miller-inspired/rip off pink wore circle char. She’s wearing a brown sleeveless dress that’s built like a snowsuit for reasons she does not understand but does not question, light pink tights, and light pink doc Mary Janes
The pink ones go perfectly with the squished dead stock Docs I recently rescued.
You are so welcome!
uhhh.....
Found it!
My pleasure! Please let me know if you need any more shots of it. Framed and autographed or otherwise.
I made some important content today.
we have to own our Gavin autism
a screen shot of the Gavin character from Kids in the Hall with a caption that says "pov: ur autistic girlfriend"
Wait.
And I might as well share this again while I'm talking about autistic girlfriend content, because my realization that I'm the Matt has shaken me to my core. But also made me laugh.
I have some sympathy for how hard it is to navigate life and work after the autism community has discarded you. I'm clearly well past my best before date to my own "community" at this point, too. But I think there are ways to explore that in a more, say, Pulp way as opposed to whatever she's doing.
This particular reel has officially escaped autism social media containment. Although the coverage seems to think this is more of an isolated incident, or just related to the manic pixie dreamgirl content trend, as opposed to something going on with this particular angle.
With all due respect to Speedball, my boy Tetsuya Endo never gets enough credit for how well he rolls with it all. With his trademark stoicism.
They're both people who had A Moment in their field and are now making up shit to explain why they're not the most important voices anymore.
I think it's helpful to read Uta Frith's comments on autism and overdiagnosis the same way we're all reading Billy Corgan's comments on the CIA killing rock music.
I remember that! It’s actually the first thing I thought of.
It’s so good! I love the score, too.
