"if you ever catch me doing a sunday crossword, call my doctor." prudence replied, sounding quite bored but then decided to humor the man. "what is it you have to find? maybe i know." she shrugged, not at all sure she knew anything useful.

               he’s  not  paying  attention,  although  if  he  were  to  fight  fair  –  he  hadn’t  told  them  they  could  sit  because  he  would  include  conversation;  politeness  only  went  so  far  with  roman.  eyes  slowly  look  up  towards  his  company,  end  of  his  pen  being  lightly  bitten  between  pearly  whites.  “  have  you  done  the  sunday  crossword  ?  if  so  —  do  you  have  any  hits  regarding  twenty  five  across  ?  ”

"that offends you?" prue asked and scoffed just like the other person had. "i find it offensive how you seem to look down upon a pretty regular store. honestly, if that even has any effect on you, you'll need to gain some thicker skin. honestly." she said, not at all impressed by the younger actor. oh, she knew about them - or more importantly their parents. she'd heard their work was not bad at all, but having clawed her way up to where she was, she didn't quite like nepotism. besides, she herself wasn't the best paid actress out there - so, she actually did go to quite regular stores.

               they  scoff  loudly,  making  sure  everyone  around  them  can  hear  it  as  the  magazine  falls  onto  the  table  with  a  loud  smack.  nose  is  wrinkled  in  disgust,  arms  crossing  over  their  stomach  as  the  steam  from  their  cup  continues  to  evaporate  in  the  air.  “  these  tabloids  are  so  wrong.  i'd  never  get  caught  dead  in  a  jc  penny,  first  of  all.  do  you  look  at  me  and  expect  me  to  mosey  around  a  fucking  jc  penny  ?  ”

(  hannah waddingham,  cis woman,  she/her  )  —  🎬  just  announced,  prudence 'prue' atkinson  has  been  cast  as  miranda priestly  in  the  upcoming the devil wears prada  reboot.  the  fifty-one  year  old  is  trending  as  people  are  debating  if  the  swaying hips, pencil skirts, charming smile, the smell of chanel nr. 5, the colors of the polyamorous flag  that  they  are  known  for  is  enough  to  make  them  as  good  as  original.  a  quick  google  search  shows  that  their  fans  call  them  confident,  but  internet  trolls  think  they’re  more  attention-seeking.  i  guess  their newest  interview  for  variety  where  they  talk  about  coming out in the nineties  will  let  people  to  know  them  better.  (  storm,  26,  gmt+1,  they/them)

born in 1973 to a nurse and a bank teller, prudence grew up in a very normal household, she didn't have everything her heart desired but she had a nice childhood.

she loved acting from an early age so it wasn't a surprise she tried very hard to get into the industry at a young age. her parents didn't stand in her way, but didn't help her either. her career started in 80s commercials as a teenager and she had some very small guest roles as a teenager. she thought she wasn't going to get anywhere and almost decided to become a hairdresser.

on a whim, she auditioned with a videotape for xena: the warrior princess and GOT IT. in 1995, she started in her role as gabriella, which would change her life forever. not only did she gain a queer following, it also made her comfortable to come out publicly in 1998 as - at that time - bisexual. now, she identifies as pansexual.

her career seemed dead before it even started because of her coming out but prue found her niche acting in big and small queer productions until she landed a role in mulholland drive, a movie that went on to be a great success.

after that, she landed the role of alice pieszecki in the l word which solidified her status as a queer, most notably lesbian, icon. it was also in that period she got together with the woman who is still her partner to this day (wanted connection alert)

she never got married, doesn't have any kids, and just loves to enjoy life. last year, she made it public knowledge that she is in an open relationship after rumors she was cheating on her partner - which she most certainly wasn't.

she isn't the biggest star, but she is certainly well known, and now, being cast as miranda priestly is her biggest, most mainstream role in years. carol was only a blip, really - but this was a very big movie back in the day. it is terrifying to step into such big shoes, but she is ready to fill them.
