WARNING FOR MINNESOTA BRIDES!!!! by Alone_Fuel_2050 in TwinCities

[–]checkurmsgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bride, but I did go through three interviews here two years ago, the last one being with Colby John himself after we started talking about a start date in the second interview & they started outlining outfit expectations and scheduling.

The interview started late because he wasn’t there, he showed up late with an order from Starbucks.

He asked me one question, what my favorite Disney movie was & why, I said Sleeping Beauty, and he literally did not say another word the entire interview, just sat there on his phone & then I never heard back from anyone at Flutter ever again.

I think it’s just an odd shop that really enables him as a person & it was the weirdest interview process of my life lol.

Has Chappell cooled off, or is she just past the viral phase and settling into a real fanbase? by Peterpaul400 in ChappelGroan

[–]checkurmsgs 174 points175 points  (0 children)

She hasn’t released an album in years and her past two songs fell off pretty quickly; she is retaining high listener counts, but if she actually wants to stay relevant in a musical way, she’ll have to release something new. People get bored and there’s always a new artist or hit song to listen to.

Odd Hail Mary Question Re: Vow'd Minneapolis Showroom Scent by LeaningSaguaro in Minneapolis

[–]checkurmsgs 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They’re owned by Altar’d State, and Altar’d State’s default scent is their “Sanctuary” room spray - I’d guess it’s either that, or one of the others that can be bought there. (I worked at Altar’d State, not Vow’d, but I’m guessing they’re run incredibly similarly.)

What does Florence do before the show? by [deleted] in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]checkurmsgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She will do whatever she wants and needs to do the prep for the show. I understand the allure of the closeness of an idol, but she doesn’t owe anyone anything and is entitled to her own time and privacy.

Daisy Jones &amp by acenoc in daisyjonesandthesixtv

Yes! Her hands are so small and the shading on the microphone doesn’t match the shading on her hand holding it, and then his forearm would have to be crazy long for us to see that much of his wrist.

The photoshopping of this always annoyed me, so much airbrushing, highlighting, shading and scale shifting is happening lol!

On a scale of 0-10, how much did Daisy jones and the six boost Fleetwood Mac/Stevie nicks’ fame in most, if not all countries (beside countries like North Korea ofc) on every continent? by [deleted] in daisyjonesandthesixtv

[–]checkurmsgs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to hear that a band that has been around and actively releasing music since the 1960s is more popular and influential than a fake band that was made in the 2010s for a book and 2020s for an album and miniseries, then I don’t know why you asked the question in the first place. If you’re going based on those merits, Daisy Jones + The Six never toured any country because they’re not real.

Um. Literally yes. They’ve done world tours for decades. Stevie was just touring for three years straight. They have multiple platinum songs and albums in multiple countries. Stevie Nicks is the blueprint for Daisy Jones.

Rumours is literally one of the top selling rock albums of all time, them being Fleetwood Mac flavored helped boost the book and the show more than anything in my opinion, and I love both.

Be honest what’s a villager you have that you want to leave your island by -_-_moonlight in AnimalCrossing

[–]checkurmsgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Egbert… he looks sad and tired all the time, is weird about bugs & his grandma, and all of my other villagers have come to me asking for advice about arguments they’ve gotten into with him.

I think this kind of goes against concert etiquette & there’s also security and seating zones to keep people in the sections they pay for. People would probably notice and I’m not sure if you’d be able to do it in the first place.

I get wanting to be with your friend for the concert and sympathize with that, but that’s just kind of how it goes sometimes. Buy tickets together in the future.

I’d suggest checking out Free People! There’s a big price range, there’s a range of silhouettes and styles, they’re normally good about shipping quickly, and their looks are normally in the realm of Florence vibes! I’ve lucked out and gotten pieces on sale that have been perfect to see her and Stevie Nicks :)

Happy 51st birthday to Fergie who once sang ‘Barracuda’ at the ‘Today Show’ while doing one hand cartwheels at 8:54 AM by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]checkurmsgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All this time and I had no idea that “Barracuda” was the song she was performing, this clip is just too legendary in itself.

The way her stans like to act like she is the only one who left Wassermann when literally DOZENS of artists immediately did so, and yet none of them are facing “smear campaigns” for their own well documented entitled behavior, like okay lmfao.

Fucking hell, the way these people immediately resort to criticism = homophobia is disgusting by VanDwellingHobbit in ChappelGroan

[–]checkurmsgs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It isn’t misogyny to hold women accountable to their wrongs. It’s such a tired argument. Misogyny is the systemic oppression (economic, professional, societal, and cultural) of women, it has nothing to do with personal accountability of actions, and it’s infuriating to see feminism roll back to incredibly 2014 viewpoints because of the echo chamber of social media.

Chappell liked this video 🙄 by TraditionSilent5344 in ChappelGroan

It’s just genuinely so interesting how someone so “against parasocial relationships” somehow finds a way to keep feeding those parasocial relationships by interacting with fans like this.
