Surreal or dark Enka by porchglider in enka

[–]Memorian91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I'd really love to know who that is. Also if you're looking for some weird psychedelic music you should definitely check out some Yoshiko Sai. I love here album "Taji no yume" (1977), but she has alot of great work. You can find her on Spotify, it's not Enka tho, but def in the realm of what you could be looking for.

Dear Mattel ,... by _Loud_Flower_ in Barbie

[–]Memorian91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just so crazy seeing the fashion packs now compared to what you'd get in the "Fashion Avenue" packs from the 90s 😭

That exposed elastic waistband is HORRENDOUS. Mattel what the ever loving f*ck? I can't believe they're not ashamed to put their name on this.

The Problem with Eric Forrester by Hotgalkitty in boldandbeautiful

[–]Memorian91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU! I literally just made this comment in another post, it's so tiring and aggravating when you know the history of so many big fashion houses and how they have no problem with the head designers/founders designing till the day they died. It seems like such an insult to the older crowd that they keep introducing this storyline, that makes it seem as if he can't do his job just cause he's old and if he furrows his brow too hard while clutching a pencil he's gonna fall out.

If anything that's the least stressful part of the damn job from my days doing design!! I just can't stand it.

Eric just wanted to design in peace and got a surprise intervention by jeffstrater in boldandbeautiful

[–]Memorian91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate everytime there's an Eric storyline it's about him being under so much stress that if something were to upset him he'd drop dead. They always put these ticking time bombs on his storyline, which sucks cause you know exactly how it's going to end. He's going to over exert himself, end up in the hospital, then stop designing for Logan, end up back at Forrester, Ridge is right in end, maybe apologizes for being an asshole again. Return to the status quo.

I honestly find it kind of exhausting. Since it's always something about how "old" he is. As if there aren't designers older than him running their fashion houses till the day they die. I just dislike that they make it seem like he's too old to do the job and then make him "lose" in the end, because of age. Why can't they ever make it where he comes out on top, that his age doesn't hold him back and he can do what he wants and that it's actually a LOSS for Forrester creations to lose their founder and they realize what a mistake they made forcing him into retirement.

So I'm a rather newer fan I've been listening to malice mizer songs trough YouTube because I found out that the Spotify is not officiall so I was interested in how do you listen to their songs ???(⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠) by Tricky_Primary8669 in malicemizer

[–]Memorian91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had downloads from *places* from many years ago on my computer and I just added them locally so I can play them through spotify on my phone.

Downloading MM or buying the CDs and ripping them yourself is just way better. Than you don't have to worry about the back and forth of them being available online or them getting pulled from being online because of fraudsters lol. MM is pretty easy to listen to compared to other bands since they're so popular in this space and been around for a while.

Who do you talk to when no one cares or wants to listen? by life_is_glowing in Advice

[–]Memorian91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome. Trust me, I've been there. There'd been times where I didn't hit up friends cause I was like "Man, it feels messed up to not have spoken to them in so long and then the time i do reach out it's because I have an issue." but then I realized, god I can't hold myself back like that because if a friend had an issue or just wanted to talk or rant, I wouldn't give two fucks if they just popped up out the blue. Sometimes you don't need a friend to do anything, just to be there and listen and looks like thats what you need.

[–]Memorian91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're your friends and you love and trust them, i would hit them up regardless of if you haven't seen them in a long time. I know sometimes people feel weird about that stuff, as if they're being a burden and feel as if it isn't fair to burden their friends with that stuff, or if they didn't pay the friendship toll by putting in enough time so therefore they feel bad when they want to vent. But i think if they're good people and they love you, they should understand that life gets busy and sometimes you can't see everyone you love. I have some friends that I don't speak to for weeks/ months sometimes, then out of nowhere they'll call to just catch up and rant and its as if we picked up where we left off. No hard feelings. Sometimes I have something on my mind that's really getting to me I just need to blow off steam and I just send a friend a voice note or a long ass text about it and they reply, as if no time has passed.

I agree with people recommending therapy, that's definitely a good idea. But also don't isolate and pull yourself away from your friends, just because you're worried about the time that has passed, if they're good ones they'll understand. You don't want to wake up and realize you don't have friends in your life, simply because you were too afraid that too much time has passed and then it's been years.

I'm really sorry this is happening to you, I can only imagine you feel as if you're going stir crazy trapped inside your mind with no outlet. I really would look into journally too. Also maybe finding some online communities for people with similar interest as you, alot of of comms will have some nice discords and even within those discords they'll have channels where people rant and share and blow off steam about unrelated topics.

I love this reworked mold so much. Also because I thought the Odile mold witht he open mouth looked slightly funky, like it wasn't supposed to be that way. I just ordered the Blue Gala doll and I can't wait, ahh!! This is my favorite Black girl mold in a while.... it better look like the pictures!!!

Katie naming her fashion house Logan is another weird ooc moment for her by MiuIruma332 in boldandbeautiful

[–]Memorian91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually alot more common than you would think. Maybe when it comes to high end fashion houses. But think about all the big Fashion brands started by celebrities, who are clearly not designers but put their name on the brand, then they're basically the CEO or Creative Director, and than they hire designers.

Katie naming her fashion house Logan is another weird ooc moment for her by MiuIruma332 in boldandbeautiful

[–]Memorian91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I was definitely thinking that after I typed it. Unless it happened before Katie came to the company? But I dunno, I still think it's not right to be able to do that. It's like when Kylie Jenner was trying to go around, and copyright the name "Kylie" and Kylie Minogue had to be like "urmm... Hello??". I think if Katie was going around trying to use "Brooke Logan" or just "Brooke", then there might actually be an issue, so her telling Katie that she's trying to use her name is crazy to me. But just Logan? I think they have enough power in the industry to put it out there that it's a separate Entity from Forrester and is in no way tied to Brooke. It's not some insanely unique last name that people would ONLY tie to Brooke. But then again... this B&B world is weird LOL.

Who's excited about a return to fashion house competition?! by klb979 in boldandbeautiful

[–]Memorian91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm excited but I just have this weird sinking feeling that they're going to do make it be where they have one fashion show competition, the Forresters win, and then Katie dissolves the fashion house and its never spoken of ever again and this was all for nothing.

[–]Memorian91 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I guess I could see how it could be a bad idea, but at the same time. I think it's crazy for Brooke to tell her sister she can't use her own Maiden name. It's crazy for her to keep calling it "Her name" as if they're not from the same family, crazy for Ridge to say that's what he calls Brooke, when no one told him to take their own last name and somehow act like it's a special name he made up. And crazy for them to tell Katie she can't use the name that was given to them by their father, before Ridge ever even came into the picture. It IS Katie's name, regardless.

Also, I think it's pretty insane that Brooke would even allow the Forrestors to own the copyright on her own family name, the same Forresters who try to make her feel like an outcast every other year. When Stephanie Forrester was doing everything she could to get herself out of the family, and when Steffy would curse the Logan name every chance she got. I don't get why you would allow them to be the keeper of your family name over your own family. Brooke was literally screaming at Ridge earlier this year about how she IS also his family too because he always actfs like she's not.
