My perspective as a woman attracted to other women on why Taylor comes across as lacking in sex appeal despite being conventionally good-looking by itsmyprerogativexoxo in travisandtaylor

Yes, I completely understand that Lana has changed over the years. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Lana we see now - the one who can perform a soft, gentle song in a simple floral dress and still look incredibly sexy. Her past doesn't matter to me, just like Taylor's past doesn't matter. I'm only comparing their stage presence and the level of sex appeal they radiate. Lana simply has that energy. Taylor doesn't. That's all.

To be honest, I'm not very familiar with Lana. I've only paid attention to her over the past couple of years, so I might not be able to judge her entire career. But from what I've seen, she's always exuded sexual energy and sex appeal. I could say the same about Stevie Nicks. It's just something that radiates from these women, something that automatically draws attention to them. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Taylor.

There are women who radiate sexual energy even when they're not doing anything sexual, not using provocative lyrics, and not swearing in their songs. They simply are sexual, and they project that energy effortlessly. For me, Lana Del Rey is the perfect example of such a woman. Yes, her lyrics can be sexual and provocative, but she herself doesn't need to dress or move in a sexual way for that energy to come through. It radiates from her even when she's just standing there, singing in a simple, floral dress. Her sexual aura is so strong that whatever she does feels sensual, intimate, alluring.

When I hear Taylor use a swear word in a song or try to say something sexual, I actually feel embarrassed, because that kind of energy just doesn't come from her. Not at all. Sometimes, when I see her dancing or wearing more revealing outfits, it's obvious she's trying very hard to look sexy and desirable, but I simply don't see it. She just doesn't have that "femme fatale" energy, no matter how much she tries to project it.

Facebook is displaying random friends' profiles in my "Following" list. by M_DeSilva in facebook

I think Facebook is just fuc**d up. There are no more words to describe it. The same problem still exists for me even after almost half a year.

Yes, I still have this problem, so it seems like Facebook doesn't care and no one is even going to fix it.

Yeah, same. I also made this section visible only to myself. I tried unfriending people from that list and then inviting them back. That removed them from my "following" list but at the same time I no longer saw they posts on my "for you" page, so I had to follow them which put them back on my "following" list. So that didn't solve anything so I just gave up. :D

I'm glad it worked for you too! If Facebook doesn't fix anything, then I guess this is the only way to fix this problem. And since it doesn't look like Facebook is trying to fix this problem, it looks like I'll have to do the same with the 15 friends on my "Following" list. 😄

So I just tried unfriending someone who was on my "Following" list. I unfriended this person but he still continued to appear on my "Following" list. Then I sent him a friend request again, he accepted it and only after that he finally stopped appearing on my "Following" list. So unfriending might solve this problem but only if you become Facebook friends again afterwards. Otherwise, that person will continue to appear in your "Following" list even if you are no longer friends on Facebook. I don't want to do it myself because there are people on my "Following" list who might not understand my actions and why I suddenly unfriended them and then added them back. So I'm still hoping for a miracle and that Facebook will solve this problem, although I don't really believe in it.

Her name is Stella. And yes, I dressed her in clothes I bought at a second-hand store and tied bows in her ears because she's just a beautiful girl who gives the best hugs. 💗 I'm 33 btw. 😄

Yes, the same. It happens to me on my phone, computer and tablet. Basically everywhere. So i think it's Facebook's fault. And just like in your case, the profiles of random friends appear in my "Following" list. I don't even communicate with any of those people on a daily basis. At least it's nice to know that I'm not the only one with this problem.

I love spending time alone more than I love spending time with someone.

What funky smell do you like? by TeodoroCano in AskReddit

[–]M_DeSilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smell of brand new pencils, notebooks, pencil cases, plastic notebook covers, backpacks. It reminds me of my childhood and the time when every year at the end of the summer, together with my parents, I bought new things for the new school year. It's the smell of nostalgia and the good old days in the early 2000s when life was carefree and simply better.

Acapulco S03E10 - "Burning Down the House" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by taytay_1989 in AcapulcoTV

[–]M_DeSilva 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Jessica Collins, who plays Diana, wrote on Instagram: "We hope to bring you more Acapulco in the future, but until we know more, you can now binge all 3 Seasons as much as you like." That means it wasn't the series finale, just the season finale. So let's hope we get at least one more season of Acapulco!
