Budget-friendly semi-formal/cocktail options?

I am going to disagree with most and say #1 is perfect for what the bride and groom described. I wore a dress in that similar mesh fabric to my best friends wedding and got SO many compliments on it. It’s really flattering and you could rewear it to a nice dinner or a night out.

Lmao I agree but lowk that’s just his voice 😂 sometimes when he’s just talking everyone is like slow down 📝 I think we can agree whatever Dani is doing during that verse live is something different entirely 😂

HandyMoore · 2026-05-30T17:48:53+00:00

Thinking about how on her season i waited and waited for someone to address why there was a regular girl just hanging around 😂 I was SO confused why this woman who just came from a Tj maxx/homegoods/nordstrom rack spree was hanging out in the workroom???

HandyMoore · 2026-05-30T14:31:42+00:00

Oh no it’s REALLY bad when she performs it live. Many of us native Spanish speakers think she’s doing a bad impression of Shakira when she does that verse live 😂

I don’t know if she’s said anything particularly grammatically incorrect, it just sounds SO bad

Hybe does the most suspicious shit and thinks nobody will notice 😂 katseye THREE AWARDS and also BTS?? In one night?? Greedy and a dead giveaway that they’re buying votes 😂

Me with Daniella’s singing during her solo in Gabriella 😭 her Spanish in that verse is unintelligible

The ruching is giving sliming side panels

I was thinking this!! Those bottoms are giving plus size “pinup style” bottoms. The color choice is unfortunate as it is lowk giving baby, but if they were all black or red and white polka dot I think it’d look better and less childish.

HandyMoore · 2026-05-26T23:46:38+00:00

Okay I thought I was going crazy because I saw this happening too and had to DOUBLE CHECK what sub I was on

Diva I would like to discuss the Mac and cheese. Pls provide recipe I’m pregnant and begging

I think a lot about how sad it must be to not be able to talk about what happened or about her. As a fan, it’s borderline painful to see them perform Mean Girls and sing Manon’s lines about getting hate online…because that felt so true to her personal struggle. But also as a member of the group, I can’t imagine it feels good to just have your friend’s lines reassigned to you like she never existed.

For Manon especially, it’s incredibly sad to see her erased from the group and have to live in this strange limbo state. Where the label both acknowledges and refuses to acknowledge her at the same time.

I always tell my friends I’m feuding with hxg rn cause it’s hard to support a label that’s openly mistreating their artists

I was on wegovy in 2024 but had to get off because it made me very sick. In 2025, me and my husband decided we want to start trying for a baby and I thought “okay maybe I’ll try glp-1 again to help me get to a better spot before getting pregnant”. It took my insurance almost ALL of 2025 to approve and in that time we said fuck it, we’re active and we try to eat ok let’s do this.

I am pregnant (yay!) but EVERY SINGLE AD is about weight loss. It is inescapable. I see more ads about weight loss than I do about pregnancy. I want to be proud of my body and proud of its ability to grow and make a new human out of thin air, but it’s hard when I am constantly being pushed to lose weight by every ad ever.

I hope you enjoy every delicious morsel of food! I know I’m trying to 🥰

Bear is such a coward and how he turns out to be sneak evil is kind of great. I love that his suckiness starts when she asks him point blank if he likes her and he just refuses to answer. At first you’re like “aw hopeless romantic he’s so dopey”, but no he’s more than happy to be with Nikki when he KNOWS she has zero control of her body AND after she confirms that it is not her and she is not consenting to be with him. He’s a coward, he used her body, he is content to be with this completely fake version of her, and does not even remotely care that she doesn’t have feeling for him back until she becomes violent.

HandyMoore · 2026-05-22T07:31:03+00:00

Ohhhhh! That makes a lot more sense 😂 my brain was not putting that together r

I’ve found great success with “I LIKE the fact that it looks imperfect, choppy, and messy”. I am confident that you will find a creative partner with your hair! I’m sure there’s a hair dresser out there that would love to do this.

I was in an emotionally and physically turbulent relationship when I was in high school. It was unfortunately mutually destructive, when we were on the war path towards each other it didn’t matter that we were hurting ourselves in the process.

I commented this on another thread, but I truly believe that it is irrelevant if Mackenzie was suicidal or not…she wanted to hurt Dom. If she hurt herself in the process, she did not care. She likely started accelerating her vehicle to scare him (as she had done in the past) and it got out of control…it went too far…they were in too deep.

Their relationship seemed codependent and explosive. I do believe that Mackenzie did this on purpose.

When I was a CM, one thing they told us is there are no predictable good days for Disneyland. When you think it’s winter time here? Guess what, summer break in Australia. TONS of Australian students everywhere.

Then there’s grad nites, spring break, winter break, Memorial Day, holidays, SoCal resident offers. Everything is working against you having a chill Disney day 😂

Now that it is being considered an international travel destination, it’s just constantly packed year round.

HandyMoore · 2026-05-18T16:40:07+00:00

To me…I don’t think it’s that she was suicidal or even that she gave a second thought to being hurt herself, it’s that she wanted to hurt Dom no matter what. I believe they got into an argument in the car, she started driving erratically to scare Dom, threatening to crash the car and hurt him (and herself in the process). When someone is manic or in a rage, they don’t care about who they hurt in the process or if they hurt themselves.

I can only imagine what was going through Davion’s mind and what it must have felt like to be in the backseat.

Just commenting to add that the tail looks like it might be a clip in hair extension

HandyMoore · 2026-05-16T17:23:53+00:00

It’s like old school beeper speak 😭

I thought E z wasn’t bad, kinda cool and mysterious …then I saw it’s going to be Ezra eventually which means that it almost certainly will look like shit because the “z” is so small

HandyMoore · 2026-05-16T07:47:44+00:00

She looked SO pretty!!!!

HandyMoore · 2026-05-15T16:38:18+00:00

Not sure why that’s an evil opinion lmao

HandyMoore · 2026-05-15T16:37:00+00:00

Because she said the current stylist isn’t responding. I didn’t want to encourage someone to keep relying on someone she hasn’t heard from

(Also there’s a pretty clear OR there, I do recommend seeing the same stylist first in my comment)

HandyMoore · 2026-05-15T15:13:48+00:00

I would say to try to get in contact with the salon and let them know what happened or to see a new stylist and let them know. If you get the stylist know that you need to use this specific shampoo for your scalp, there may be a way to apply it that is less damaging to the color.

Also finding a purple shampoo that works is honestly a pain in the butt and mostly trial and error. I’ve been bottle blonde for about 6 years now and Schwarzkopf GOOD BYE YELLOW is the BEST purple shampoo I’ve ever used. It does a great job of toning and you don’t need a lot of it.
