Introducing contestant number three…

✨PENELOPE HART✨

by @ginovasims

Introducing contestant number six…

✨KITTY SPICE✨

Introducing contestant number nine…

✨MARGO ALVAREZ✨

by @iloooon_sims

Foodie Margo knows how to whip up a good meal, and how to whip her hair in the club! She's a 50/50 mix of family and fun, plus some clumsiness… will she trip and fall for Johnny?

Introducing contestant number ten…

✨MEGHAN MOON✨

Introducing contestant number eleven…

Introducing contestant number twelve…

✨ALIYAH CARINA✨

by @SimGirl_T

a guy for everyone...

if i watch a random movie for my celebrity crush... am i a whore?

[thiefbird]

Thinking about charting out every event, past or part of the active narrative, in Hornblower, Aubreyad, Sharpe, and Temeraire to see who's doing what at what time

No idea if it would be of interest to anyone but myself(and POB's six 1813s will perhaps complicate matters), but it is very tempting

[thekenobee]

I have read Sharpe’s Prey

(and I come bearing gifts)

Richard Simmons (Holy Shit)

The Maintenance Phase podcast is halfway through a two-parter where Aubrey, using his autobiography and fact-checking and expanding on it from other available reporting, is telling the story of (arguably) the first modern weight-loss influencer, Richard Simmons. Yeah, you know, the curly-haired aerobics twink from back in the day.

And holy cow did that story turn dark in a hurry. My most important-seeming takeaway so far is ...

How Richard Simmons told you to get skinny and stay skinny: love yourself, reduce your portion sizes, but most of all exercise.

How Richard Simmons got skinny and stayed skinny, himself: meth, anorexia, and bulimia.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the fitness industry for you.

Barbara Stanwyck leads the professors in a conga line in a scene from Ball of Fire (1942)

[simmingnate]

Thanks for watching the first episode of #JohnnyWantsAWife!

Aliyah, Haven and Lydia will be missed - but there are still plenty more fascinating ladies for Johnny to choose from! Until next time… 💘

THE ANTISOCIAL NETWORK: MEMES TO MAYHEM

Merry web pranksters

Sparked a series of movements

Till it turned toxic

[cha-mij]

Seriously tempted to write something like Outlander which is less romance, time travel and drama but more a Sharpe/Aubrey-Maturin/Cadfael/Shardlake of the Jacobean era.

Does anyone know of any modern books that already exist so I don't have to write it? 🤣
