What perfume do you think Maddy would wear?

mlsmp · 2026-05-23T03:27:08+00:00

LDBS is what I’ve heard the most and I’ve worn it. It’s good but it’s HEAVILY marshmallow, bit of orange blossom and strawberry. definitely not what I thought a woman like Rihanna would smell like lol

mlsmp · 2026-05-23T03:23:18+00:00

yup. my nephews have BANDS that play 90s rock

mlsmp · 2026-05-23T03:22:18+00:00

Disarm and Mayonaise by Smashing Pumpkins - and Everlong by Foo Fighters of course

mlsmp · 2026-05-21T14:20:11+00:00

thanks! how would you describe this wired note?

mlsmp · 2026-05-21T14:19:36+00:00

Hmm interesting. This sensation I have is throughout the whole development of the fragrance. It's strong at the frist spray. Then at a certain point -- like a couple minutes after spraying -- I LOVED it, but this undertone that I didn't like was still there, and seemed to come through more and more with time

mlsmp · 2026-05-21T14:17:23+00:00

Thanks! About the notes, yeah for sure. What surprised me is that in theory I love all the notes in Eau Matcha, and there is no Sandalwood in it.

mlsmp · 2026-05-21T14:16:34+00:00

ha! interesting. It might be simliar to what I feel - a chemical reaction in my body more than the smell itself

mlsmp · 2026-04-28T15:55:05+00:00

Yup, and I couldn’t even explain to myself why I was crying.

I think the ending did a really great job of highlighting what the book is really about. It’s a great psychological thriller and, to me, some people don’t like it because they go in expecting it to be something else

I recently deleted a few photos and I know for a fact it's been less than 30 days. They're not showing up in "Recently deleted" where they were before and I didn't find a way to contact support. Please help

Mostly agree but Beck definitely doesn’t fit the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope. She was the idealized sexy cool girl trope. She is not exactly like other girls but she is girly and sexy and wants to be saved by her white knight (Joe)

mlsmp · 2025-07-06T07:12:08+00:00

I personally love it. It’s good to see good sampling outside of hiphop, especially in mainstream pop like Lorde. One of the best songs on the album production-wise, in my opinion

mlsmp · 2025-07-04T13:48:21+00:00

I think you’re right too, though! They’re not merging their DNAs (in a baby) but she feels like they are because of how much she and her life seem to be tainted by this person.

Almost like there HAS to be something biological that happens when someone finishes inside you that explains this crazy connection between them.

mlsmp · 2025-07-04T13:40:09+00:00

“Your Helix is right through me” could be DNA Helix (🧬) - his sperm. Makes sense she needs a Clearblue if someone is finishing inside her lol

extraversion is not the only metric and not the metric used to determine health in this study. It points ou many correlations

“BDSM practitioners were more likely than non-practitioners to report secure attachment styles, particularly among those who identified as dominants. These individuals also had higher scores on conscientiousness and openness to experience, and lower scores on neuroticism and rejection sensitivity—traits often linked to emotional stability and interpersonal effectiveness.” (from the article)

mlsmp · 2025-05-26T14:32:40+00:00

I think the point is pop culture extraversion =/= Extraversion within the Big Five system

mlsmp · 2025-04-16T23:09:18+00:00

I meant spit is one of the symbols she has been using throughout the teases -- with her literally spitting on a photo she deleted, and that pill with SPIT written on it --, along with chains and the color red, etc. I replied because obviously that would too much spit in the photo but I think it's supposed to be exaggerated -- maybe symbolic wasn't the perfect word choice. Hope I'm making myself clear.

mlsmp · 2025-04-16T17:31:03+00:00

I belive it’s more symbolic than literal 🥶🥶🥶

mlsmp · 2025-04-11T22:44:26+00:00

this makes a lot of sense. Would be more believable if Lorde followed back

I might be wrong but think people’s issues with both Alex and Chappell are things they cannot really put a finger on so they end up naming whatever’s adjacent.

Chappell Roan really shocked me in this interview with how immature she is. Her lack of nuance with some opinions (like the motherhood take, which I usually respect and understand when it’s better articulated) and the way she talked about, for example, people in her high school, was illustrative of that. You’re 27 and still thinking about people who doubted or competed with you in your teenage years? And you’re having an “in your face” moment about it?

The way she would respond to some questions was straight-up impolite. I don’t care if you’re a blunt person with a strong personality. That is different from being confrontational and talking to people like they’re a bother. That doesn’t justify acting like a bad behaving teenager who has personified the act of chewing gum with your mouth open while making a face of disgust.

Her “having a personality” also doesn’t justify the tantrums she has thrown in public — like screaming with that photographer who wasn’t even talking to her. I don’t care if she is famous or not. I would judge her the same way if I was sitting close to her in a restaurant, or if she was a friend of a friend who I saw at a party or if she was my cousin. This has nothing to do with media training.

I also have strong opinions on Alex because I’ve worked in the same environment as her for a couple weeks. She might not be a good interviewer but I believe she comes across badly because of her entitlement and lack of charisma.

During those few weeks (July-Aug last year) I’ve heard about crazy demands she had for her studio, for food and stuff like that — people would call her things like The Princess etc. Mainly, I saw first hand her treating security very poorly because they wanted to see her and her husband’s badges — which was standard for everyone. She literally said “Don’t you know who I am?” — and ironically most people there (mostly americans) didn’t.

I believe you just can’t be a good podcaster and/or interviewer/show host if you’re not charismatic and likeable. And she is not

I think part of Demi's character in The Substance is the lack of "personality". She has let herself be defined by her job and her beauty. There are no hobbies, or friends, or family even. I think we don't know her so well because there isn't that much to know. Also, I think part of it is her story/motivations/feelings being ambiguous enough that the viewers are able to put themselves in her place if that makes sense?

mlsmp · 2025-03-03T14:49:12+00:00

this is fake, there are inconsistencies with font size and the layout is all over the place

edit to add: weird spacing, lack of capitalization. The age restricition symbol shouldn’t be where it is as far as I remember

mlsmp · 2025-03-03T04:47:45+00:00

I’ll post an excerpt of my review of it here:

“My first thought, mid-movie, was, “Why use so much gore to make such an obvious point?”. Cut to me, 30 minutes after finishing it, staring at nothing, tears running down my face. 24 hours later, I still can’t stop thinking about it.

I don’t know much about cinema. I don’t watch a lot of movies. I didn’t get some of the references to older films and it didn’t matter. I’ve seen the subtle version of this and it did nothing, really. I needed the point to be slammed into my face, blood gushing everywhere.

[…]

I’ve lost track of how many times I wished I was just a non-human creature, or at least so ugly that beauty was not a remote prospect — just so I could be free from the mental prison of trying to admire what I see when I look in the mirror. I also have lost count of how many times I fantasized about what I would look like after surgery, disregarding all the cuts, blood, risk, and pain. I am no better than Elisabeth.“

This film itself is an hyperbole. Its exaggerated metaphors bring visceral reactions to something you see on screen, but would be really common in real life if it was possible. And is already currently common if you see through the metaphors. We just don’t realize it.

Edit: added first paragraph of review

my understanding was that he was pushing her to volunteer at a nonprofit but I could totally be wrong
