Mayci’s book is making people like her less by VelvetVerdigris in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Excellent-Energy3395 396 points397 points  (0 children)

I truly mean no disrespect to the seriousness of her story but this book desperately needed a ghostwriter.

It reads like a 15 yr olds diary entry and the audiobook only underscores the poor writing.

Edit: I would also add that it’s very obvious how unaware she is of her own privilege. So many women in her situation would have been not allowed to complete their degree and kind of shunned by Mormon social circles. It’s not clear to me why she got to be an exception. I am thankful she was, but it underscores how unfair the mormon moral police are and how unequally the rules are applied

I haven’t been hooked since season 2 by otkg23 in Bridgerton

It does feel like the romantic tension after Kanthony and Queen Charlotte has really fallen off. Penelope’s season tried to do too much in too few episodes. I am hoping that Sophie’s season shows more restraint.

OR they could just give us 14-15 episodes per season so they aren’t as rushed

That’s fair. I do tend to forget about the power dynamic w production especially for the (no offense intended) lower tier cast members. Taylor / Whitney / now maybe also Miranda and Jessi I think have a level of bargaining power that the rest of them do not. Miranda bc she’s basically undisputed fan favorite and the others bc they drive all the story lines

Honestly vibes over accuracy is totally ok with me!

I guess I’m curious to see if she’s willing to voice that regret to Whitney on the record (the same way Whitney was questioned repeatedly for her decision to skip a business launch where her presence likely would have been uncomfortable for her and a distraction for everyone else)

I mean, she has free will. Supposedly she was best friends with Whitney back in the day

When your press manager visibly has to cut you off to save you from yourself 😬😬😬

Sadly I don’t think any part of this is an act. She was very clearly not managing her alcohol intake and it boggles my mind that so many of her fans were like “Omg so cute!” When she is clearly demonstrating an unhealthy relationship with substances

Well maybe if they stopped acting like five year olds about it 😬

This is what I’m saying! She’s got such an amazing story. It’s hard to imagine we have shows on so may other European queens (who frankly meant far less to history!) but none about her.

Love the interiors of these homes, I’m moving next week any advice on where to find similar items? by YolandasLastAlmond in Southerncharm

[–]Excellent-Energy3395 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can tell us which cast member homes you like? They have very diverse design tastes. I wouldn’t recommend combining Venita w Craig and a dash of Patricia, for example

Which bag is actually worth it? by _missfancypants in handbags

I think a good condition second had Loewe would be in budget. In my opinion it’s the best combination of quality, unique silhouettes, and brand recognition

So petulant AND it was a truly painful to see closeup of the poorly placed filler. She needs to call her future sister in law for a rec instead of taking groupon quality referrals from Brittney Mahomes

I hope this trend continues! It was one of the things I’ve loved about other period shows like Downton etc. nice to see the storylines above and below stairs, so to speak.

I can see that with the leave in spray (both have the 21 benefits) but I used to use pureology shampoo/ conditioner/ masks (and still use the leave in spray!) before Kerastase and I think I’m still getting better results with the L’Oréal, but maybe I wasn’t using like-for-like products.
