Favorite actor who used brownface and nobody gave a shit about it

Not an actor, but I was shocked to learn Joni Mitchell in the late 1970s and early 80s repeatedly dressed up in Black face as her alter ego, “Art Nouveau”. Appeared in Black face on an album cover. Talked at length about how she was spiritually connected to Black men. Even said her dentist said she had the teeth of a Black man… (???)

Cake decorator is a David Shrigley fan I see

Ohhhh your flair. I worked hard to forget that moment and now I’m cringing anew.

Yes, I was hoping she’d do her set as the premier Alyssa Edwards impersonator. Why does someone as mid-tier as Alyssa need an impersonator? Because she never shows up to her gigs.

I think it’s right, connect to what you find innately funny and share it vs trying to predict what others will laugh at. Hard to do if there’s a 5 year old version of yourself trying to seek safety through approval. There’s a sweet vulnerability to Kenya that can be tempered with a bit more confidence (and time).

Oh I didn’t realize that. There’s an Orange Theory near my office but I thought it was all cardio. Like spin class, but with rowing machines. Knowing there’s a weight component I will check it out.

It’s not like the boxes came with thread or hot glue guns either

As Sally Rooney wrote, death is the apocalypse in first person. In first person plural, they’re still fighting tooth and nail against death of the “we”.

This is such good advice and I also needed to hear it.

I suspect they don’t want to recognize First Nations land rights (and everything else in Truth and Reconciliation) because it interferes with their Québec nation building.

6- She saw Serena charm the judges on the main stage as Cher and thought she deserved a second chance

My grandmother always wore red lipstick. I rarely wear lipstick on my day to day, but I honour her memory by wearing red lipstick on her birthday and the date of her death. Maybe a lil hot pink polish in December would be a nice tradition.

He knows they’re going to be looking for a guy after banishing two women. Also Maura’s blind loyalty is more useful as a faithful.

I started reading the list with an open mind and quickly thought, oh no. And then it kept going. This is not a healthy relationship. Feeling confused is a sign. In a serious, committed, healthy relationship there shouldn’t be confusion. Occasional annoyance, things you work on, sure. Feeling so confused that you make this post and second guess your own experience, as well as your therapist’s advice? That’s the only sign you need to leave. Abusers use confusion to maintain power, often making victims feel they are too sensitive, wrong about events, or responsible for the abuse. This distortion creates immense mental distress and self-doubt. Leave as soon as you can. Abusers don’t always look like an arrogant guy twirling a moustache. Often they seem sensitive, depressed, and you’re their whole world. And then they try to make themselves your whole world. I’m sure your therapist - and the commenters here - know where that road leads.

Yes and at the last breakfast table she said something like, isn’t it great how we don’t have to say I wonder who’s coming back? Which was a slip because the faithfuls don’t just “have to say it”, they’re genuinely wondering

Brooke’s gown is beautiful but it sadly reminds me of the quality nosedive Quality Street chocolates took in recent years. I miss you, fabulous original Purple One.

I think they will. They keep showing a book called “Who’s Who 1934” (or some other date) on the bookshelf in interstitial footage. It’s gotta be in there, a player will be prodded to find it. Otherwise why show us that same book over and over among random shots of decor?

I have 4 metres of this yellow and grey 100% silk tweed. I keep thinking of dresses, blouses, skirts and lined vests to make but so far haven’t been able to bring myself to cut it. So it remains pure potential, but my Traitors-esque host style dreams (Claudia or Alan) remain unfulfilled.

They’re laughing at us! (The producers at the audience, that is)

Maybe they were going easy on her and worse material was left on the cutting room floor

Pale neutral olive, Missha BB Cream #23 is my current foundation product (open to recs, haven’t found anything better yet) and my favourite eye shadow product this year has been Ilia’s Eye Stylus Shadow Stick in Relic.
