In the interview with Vivian, David Morrison from Fortress reflected on his encounter with Anna. He described her as cute, resembling a little Barbie doll, and he couldn't help but notice her confidence and physical attributes.

Recalling the incident, David mentioned that Anna unexpectedly visited his office one day and encountered an unfortunate situation. She needed to use the bathroom, but to his dismay, there was no toilet paper available. Despite this awkward circumstance, Anna stayed composed and later joined David for a meeting.

However, the lingering odor in the room from the bathroom mishap left a lasting impression on David. He couldn't help but think that there was something peculiar about Anna due to the intense smell that accompanied her presence.

Curiously, David admitted to a strange fascination with Anna, expressing that he wished he had the opportunity to know her better. While the circumstances were unusual, his curiosity about her grew, leaving him intrigued by the encounter.

229 - Magic Mike XXL

Listeners, are you ready to be exalted?! This week, we welcome back author, screenwriter, Listen to Sassy co-host, and now OSCAR NOMINEE Pamela Ribon. And to welcome her back we’re going on a road trip with some exotic male dancers for Magic Mike XXL. The somewhat surprising sequel to the 2012 original (previously discussed on this podcast) dispensed with the commentary on capitalism and gave us everything we wanted from Mike and the boys: more dancing, more skin, and more guys being dudes. But softer box office and softer reviews kept this totally-not-directed-by-Soderbergh-not-at-all sequel out of serious awards contention, excluding some late-year critical reassessment.

This episode, we celebrate Pam’s success with her animated short My Year of Dicks and our high hopes for Mike’s swan song, Magic Mike’s Last Dance. We also discuss Roxanne Gay’s recap, Magic Mike Live, and the film’s genius film ensemble including Jada Pinkett Smith, Andie MacDowell, and Elizabeth Banks.

Topics also include campaign rules, “going to nationals” as a concept, and Joe Manganiello causing your pants to rip.

Channing Tatum Is Working on a Romance Novel Channing Tatum wants you to know that he's way more than a sexy hunk with glistening abs that stars in movies, he's a sexy hunk with glistening abs that writes books too!In a new cover story for Vanity Fair, Tatum opens up about distancing himself from his Hollywood heartthrob image, closing out the Magic Mike franchise and growing close with Zoë Kravitz. However, it was the news that the actor was writing a “fun and sexy” romance novel with Roxane Gay that happened to pique our interest.To be fair, if you blinked you could easily miss Jessica Pressler's brief mention of the project's existence amidst the Bad Feminist and Hunger author's praise of Tatum's wokeness. “For whatever reason, he is intimately aware of his privilege,” Gay remarks. “He doesn’t apologize for it, which is, frankly, refreshing. Like, you’re an absurdly attractive famous wealthy white man. Please don’t pretend that isn’t great. But he treats people well.” That being said, apart from the passing confirmation that this romance novel collaboration exists, neither Gay nor Tatum go on to share any further details about the book.Upon a little digging, it turns out that romance novel has been a thing since at least 2017 when Gay revealed to The Advocate that not only was Tatum a fan of her work, but they were actually working together on a new project. "I thought my friends were playing a joke on me," Gay toldThe Advocate's podcast, explaining that she feared her agent was leaving her when she first emailed her about the project. "And so, things proceeded, and then she gave me an address and said, 'Go here at such and such time.' And I said, 'Okay.' It was around my birthday, so I just thought, My friends are hilarious. They're putting together this surprise party, even though I hate surprise parties, and they're using this ruse of Channing Tatum. I went up into the hills, and he was standing on his front balcony. I was just like, 'Oh, I'm pregnant.' It was really good."And while Gay didn't let many specifics about the project slip apart from the fact that "it's really good," it's nice to know that the book is still a thing six years later. It's worth pointing out that this top-secret romance novel wouldn't be the first book Tatum's written. It turns out that Tatum is already the author of a series of New York Times-bestselling children's books with his most recent one, The One and Only Sparkella Makes a Plan, having been written during quarantine for his eight-year-old daughter, Everly.Photo via Getty/Kelly Defina https://www.papermag.com/channing-tatum-roxanne-gay-novel-2659282603.html

The Body Politic: Long Island Biennial 2024

In 2024—a year of global elections, as some 60 countries representing half of the world’s populations hold regional and national leadership votes—The Heckscher Museum of Art invited Long Island artists to submit work which engages with contemporary social, cultural, or political issues. The Museum received 762 artwork submissions from 313 artists, and the result, The Body Politic: Long Island Biennial 2024 features exceptional art from contemporary artists in a compelling museum-wide exhibition that features 79 works of art accepted from 60 artists. 

The jurors for the 2024 Long Island Biennial were Ian Alteveer, Beal Family Chair of the Department of Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Patricia Cronin, sculptor, Artistic Director of the LGBTQ+ VR Museum and Distinguished Professor of Art, Brooklyn College; and Grace Hong, Assistant Director, Galerie Lelong & Co.

The artists chosen represent the breadth of communities across Suffolk and Nassau counties and the exhibition encompasses a remarkable variety of media with styles spanning abstraction to hyperrealism. “We remain committed to sharing inspiring and thought-provoking new art with our visitors.” said Heather Arnet, Executive Director & CEO. The 8th edition of the Long Island Biennial “will resonate with the entire community given the diversity in artists and the universality of the important themes in their work.”

1:46 am pdt 2 April 2023 Sunday Domingo nicheyoubi 🌤

1:47 am pdt www.gq. Com/story/Adam-Levine

it’s closer to the end of the article than the top dated June 24, 2014 Jessica pressler tony Kelly

“There’s the carnal shit you can’t deny. [...] There was a time in my life when I lived probably a bit more on the primal level. And it was amazing.”

auto saved 1:52 am pdt I think Bcz I’ve been touched by other men I don’t think he would have wanted me once I lost my virginity when I was 19 years old. 1:53 am pdt

2:23 am pdt I wish Q never came in to my life. I only kept seeing her Bcz she was acceptable to my mom and I thought she liked me and was nice. I even said at a Denny’s? Or ihop? That she’s the nicest person in the world. 2:25 am pdt she said we’re best friends or that I’m her best friend but she never told me who she who she had s*x with. That’s basically a standard in movies like romantic comedies that you tell your best friend what you did with who. If she couldn’t tell me then she was lying. 2:27 am pdt I figured that out this moment. 2:28 am pdt

2:30 am pdt I never forced her to tell me anything and there were questions online that she left unanswered. It’s like she’s a shark in my eyes smirking that I’m blind to what was happening infront of me. That she was actually mocking me infront of my face and online with enlarging my head in pictures she took. 2:32 am pdt If she was so bold to fake liking me and do stuff to hurt me while I was trying to like her and be happy with her... I wish I could have felt more with the friends I had before I met her. I wish I didn’t feel like a fraud Bcz I was too shy to say a lot. The friends I had b4 her weren’t perfect but I think they were maybe more open to me than she was? 2:35 am pdt which is ironic Bcz I felt too imperfect so I withheld a lot of thoughts and feelings . I was in a shell.. makes me think of turtles. I don’t know. That music is my boyfriend line bothers me and a lot of other stuff. It looks like I’m not going to see the day when people from this earth start going to the new planet I heard about that is like this earth but bigger. 2:39 am pdt if there are already people there with housing already there waiting for people to arrive wouldn’t that be a surprise? 2:40 am pdt

2:59 am pdt I don’t feel much like trying to recover anymore. I am tired. 3 am pdt I wish I was somebody’s somebody. 🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸

3:03 am pdt matchmaker matchmaker find me find catch me a catch 🎸🎵🎼🎤 3:04 am pdt

3:06 am pdt I don’t appreciate you lying (pain 3:07 am pdt forehead) to me. Chop off my head now, incubus. 3:07 am pdt 3:08 am pdt

3:18 am pdt I guess he forgives Nick carter. (Tummy upset gurgle diarrhea 3:18 am pdt) I guess he thinks he did not do anything wrong and deserves to be forgiven. And women need to just suck it up. 3:20 am pdt I don’t think it is ever going to change. 3:20 am pdt I don’t feel like trying anymore. 3:21 am pdt

3:24 am pdt my clock skipped a minute. Q probably set me up to be a sacrifice. I don’t think Q helped me at all. I suffered a lot. I don’t think Q knows pain at all. 3:26 am pdt I think Q is lying and faking everything is music is her husband. 3:26 am pdt who did I have phone s*x with? I think after I moved out end of 2018, Brendan lean’s MySpace profile picture was removed. 3:29 am pdt there was one day that his MySpace was public and I saw he had an older sister named Catherine? 3:30 am pdt

3:53 am pdt incubus protects rapists Bcz he relates to them and cuts down his victims. I guess you have to be a woman to understand how violated someone can feel that you have possibly been forcibly impregnated at a time you’re not ready to be. To have someone trespass without caring about your feelings. And then they don’t want to make amends and worse. Incubus enables them to hide it. If you like that sort of man I guess the whole world is stuck with incubus. 3:58 am pdt am I the only one trying to do something? And I’m suffering to take down incubus? If incubus is incubus then that whole thing I seemed to have picked up, that idea that only bad things happen to bad people, can you really say that when incubus is your god? How about I don’t say anything anymore. Nick carter gets away with rape and murder and so does incubus (left shoulder pain 4 am pdt) me and Shannon Ruth die. And guess whose left with Nick carter and incubus? That’s right, you are. And if he’s still got libido and muscle and power do you think you won’t be next? Maybe he likes guys, too, or little boys. 4:02 am pdt

4:06 am pdt Q wrote on her Flickr she doesn’t fight crime. If her focus was only me the entire time, I believe it. 4:07 am pdt don’t count on Q to REALLY sacrifice anything? If she really stole art ideas from me like I suspect that’s pretty low considering she had enough money to go to many concerts including Coachella. 4:09 am pdt don’t count on Q to be a hero. 4:09 am pdt yeah I think I will stop doing stuff Bcz I’m dying anyway. So why help other people get arid of a problem they don’t deserve to be helped with? You treasure Nick carter more. So have fun! Okay? Okay! 4:10 am pdt pain left shin. I will go do whatever I want that’s on my bucket list which is probably edited now to watching as many movies as I can while at this hotel. 4:11 am pdt don’t cry to me when incubus + friends devirginize your relatives. 4:12 am pdt

5:41 left shin pain difficulty breathing pain tongue. Fox News last night? Was saying a lot of people are committing suicide Bcz of stuff on social media. If they’re purely victims and incubus is god, do you think incubus is going to save them? He is the devil? A hungry lion ? He’s looking for sacrifices, but he keeps guys like Nick carter Bcz they share a lot in common? 5:44 am pdt incubus would make me depressed too if I think about him for several minutes at a time. 5:44 am pdt

5:45 am pdt in 2017 ? There was stuff online saying maroon 5 fans are ... I forgot but I remember it was a little disturbing? Unflattering? Like they lack a sense of what sounds good probably Bcz incubus for a long time gave a lot of (left nostril pain 5:46 am pdt) below standard performances. And I can say this unbiased. Bcz it was during a time I gave him benefit of the doubt and tried to like him. And I’m trying to smile and like it but I start to feel crazy trying to like what I hear. When I watch and listen, I’m like, this is really bad. 5:48 am pdt

6:03 am pdt I am in misery there ain’t no body who can comfort me. 🎵🎸🎼🎤 i formerly liked the sounds of that song. I guess I’m a da*ned vine. Bcz my name means rose and lily. Some flowers 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻 grow from vines. I’m d*mned. Dams are like big bath tubs. 6:06 am pdt he’s killing my heart again. 6:07 am pdt it’s hot in the center and my right side. 6:07 am pdt

7:43 am pdt incubus is still hurting my ribs Bcz he likes it when people are crying in pain especially women. I think he’s trying to reduce my rib cage size to crush my internal organs. 7:45 am pdt

2:16 pmpdt if the earth is expiring it’s ok if he leaves me here to die. 2:17 pmpdt

2:44 pmpdt I don’t want his unethical ass near me and I don’t want Q’s unethical lazy ass near me. 2:45 pmpdt

Everything We Know About Channing Tatum’s "Ghost" Remake So Far

A favorite movie of the 1990s may be getting a remake by none other than “The Lost City” actor Channing Tatum. The 1990 film “Ghost,” which originally starred Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg, is apparently on the actor’s radar, according to a January interview with Vanity Fair. The revelation came during the interview as Tatum was making pottery with journalist Jessica Pressler,…

Hey Quick Question: Why Is Fashion So Obsessed With Anna Delvey?

Hey Quick Question: Why Is Fashion So Obsessed With Anna Delvey?

Welcome to our column, “Hey, Quick Question,” where we investigate seemingly random happenings in the fashion and beauty industries. It seems like almost yesterday that Anna Delvey first came onto our radar — and not for good reasons.  As we’re now well aware, the story of Delvey-slash-Sorokin first went viral in a 2018 The Cut article by Jessica Pressler. The riveting exposé detailed how the…

SHONDA RHIMES ANNA DELVEY HOW TO

SHONDA RHIMES ANNA DELVEY MOVIE

SHONDA RHIMES ANNA DELVEY PROFESSIONAL

The surfaces shine, the dialogue is snappy, and the cast has pep. The villains have layers the heroes have weaknesses. The characters are rendered broadly but not cartoonishly. Inventing Anna features a lot of what Rhimes fans enjoy about her work.

SHONDA RHIMES ANNA DELVEY HOW TO

Though Rhimes made her reputation with the hit medical melodrama Grey’s Anatomy, the most influential shows from her Shondaland production company have been the likes of Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder and Bridgerton: stories about the ways the powerful flex their privilege, and the ways they can be brought low by small-timers bearing grudges and guile. This is all prime material for a Shonda Rhimes project, too. It encompasses so many quintessentially New York themes: An immigrant reinventing herself in a land of opportunity the preoccupation with the projection of success over true substance and the sometimes destructive results of FOMO envy in a city where someone is always out-thriving someone else. The Anna Delvey story could be Vivian’s last big shot. She’s also heavily pregnant, but ignores the advice of her friends and husband to take early maternity leave, because she’s determined to regain her lost prestige. She’s now hanging on by her fingernails at her old Manhattan job, stuck in a corner cubicle among the magazine’s unfashionable old-timers, where she half-heartedly chases whatever trendy story her editor assigns. A former rising star, she made a glaring error in a buzzy article and subsequently saw a prestigious new gig evaporate.

SHONDA RHIMES ANNA DELVEY PROFESSIONAL

Inventing Anna begins with Vivian at a low professional ebb. That said, it is worth noting how the character has been fictionalized, because that speaks to what the storyteller thinks makes for a compelling protagonist - and why a journalist’s life might need tweaking to be more “dramatic.” (Pressler’s not really a public figure, so it’s possible she insisted on the change.) It’d be unfair to criticize Inventing Anna based on how closely or not Vivian resembles her real-life inspiration, because that clearly isn’t what Rhimes and her team set out to do.

SHONDA RHIMES ANNA DELVEY MOVIE

Movie and TV movie producers fiddle with the particulars of true stories all the time: for legal reasons, for poetic license, or because using the real person’s name and details might be intrusive. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this switch. While Vivian shares some biographical traits with Pressler - most notably the lingering sting of a big professional embarrassment - the name-change indicates that Vivian shouldn’t be seen as exactly the same person who wrote the New York story. But her character (played by Anna Chlumsky) has been renamed Vivian Kent, and the magazine she writes for is now Manhattan. The show is officially adapted from Pressler’s article and she’s one of its producers. The second major character in Inventing Anna is Pressler … but not entirely. She then became a minor celebrity after her story was told by the reporter Jessica Pressler in a lengthy 2018 New York Magazine profile. Born in Russia as Anna Sorokin, she spent time in Germany, London, and Paris before visiting New York and finding it strangely easy to slip into the social circles of the obscenely wealthy. The first is Anna Delvey (played by Julia Garner): a cunning and stubbornly mysterious con artist who a few years back duped several well-connected rich folks and multiple high-end New York City institutions into believing she was an aristocratic European heiress and fundraiser. There are two main characters in producer Shonda Rhimes’ new Netflix miniseries Inventing Anna, both based on real people.

“Inventing Anna” and the Importance of Bias in Perspective

So I watched “Inventing Anna” about the Anna “Delvey” Sorokin and I also read the article from Vanity Fair article “ Inventing Anna Is a “Dangerous” Distortion, Says Rachel Williams”https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/02/inventing-anna-delvey-netflix-real-rachel-williams.  Rachel Williams was portrayed as disloyal and a “user” on the show while Anna’s other friends are shown as simply being drawn in by charisma.  I wondered why she would be portrayed as the only person in Anna’s circle who “took advantage” of a rich friend (ignoring the irony that Anna literally is the one actually taking advantage of people - poor and rich alike).  Why is Rachel being portrayed as a user in a bad way but Anna is portrayed as a user in a sexy way?

I also read the interview with her old friend Neff Davis who is the only one of her old friends still on her side.  This is what shed to light on Rachel’s portrayal to me.  Neff consulted on the show.  The original reporter also helped make the show.  Which REALLY explains the glamorizing of Anna and making her look like such a genius when there is no real proof she was one to the degree she wants to be seen as one.  Why they glamorized how she looked, acted, dressed, and made her seem like a twisted genius.  Also blamed her parents who are just working class people who there is no evidence did anything wrong.

I don’t mind conning rich people.  Fuck the rich.  Eat the rich.  They are garbage.  I love me a good guillotine.  But how Anna treated service workers and non-wealthy friends like Rachel is pretty gross tbh.  The show has been called out by everyone (Even Anna - despite her still using the money to pay her court fees).  There are dumb perspectives here.  The reporter and Anna are just...two shallow characters tbh who the show tries and fails to make us sympathize with.  Idk.  I liked the show.  But I find the way characters are portrayed to be largely fictional.  I’m taking it all with a grain of salt.  It is a show that glamorizes Anna to give her the fame that she wants and that also give reporter, Jessica Pressler, a chance to further save her own reputation after the  Mohammed Islam debacle...

It just feels...so biased.  It is for Anna to get fame and money and Jessica to take a center stage.  And for our entertainment.  I’m refusing to take any of it as real events.  But the show was a fun watch.

[annadelveyfoundation]

VV: Is there anything that you admire in her? And if you do, does that then become problematic? JP: That’s part of the fascination with her and with all con-artist stories. We all admire their confidence. They can just breeze into any situation and say or do things that we never would. Most people have fraud syndrome, and she basically has the opposite of fraud syndrome. I don’t know if it’s problematic to admire that. I think you can admire a good quality. People have good qualities and bad qualities, and you can admire the good while being aware that someone is taking it too far.

Jessica Pressler interviewed by Valentina Valentini for Shondaland in “Jessica Pressler Introduced the World to Anna Delvey — But She Still Can’t Decide How She Feels About Her,” published on 11 Feb 2022.

[ramyeonpng]

She knew from the start that the story was going to be somewhat fictionalized. "I think it was always going to be not me," Pressler says of the journalist character on the show. "The show is fictionalized, and the character is a guide to this universe. When I met Anna Chlumsky, she was like, 'I’m not doing you,' and I was like, 'Great!' Vivian is like an all-caps angry email of me, but there are things that are very real mixed into it.
