#Lisa Marie Latino

[andreabaideas]

What costumes would DJATS characters wear for Halloween 1978?

Uhmm, cool one!!! Tough though. I pictured the shows actors and looks for this to work.

The band gets invited to a Halloween promo party at a Haunted mansión themed club party where everyone is presented the fancy way and like going down stairs, as everyone famous or cool IS going...Yeah so they have to be wearing a costume :

Lisa & Warren dresses as Gómez and Morticia Addams, he says that for once Gómez IS played by a latino. He keeps being disgustingly kissy all night long and throwing crass jokes.

Karen dresses in black leather trousers and almost seee through black shirt. She wears tons of makeup. She looks like a Barbie doll gothic edition. She wears red lenses and looks super sexy. Then just before the party she sprays herself with fake Blood and puts fake fangs...etc voila She's a Bloody Vampiress!

+ Graham dresses as a old time XIX cowboy, leather Duster jacket and everything , but Karen convinces him to be a bit more cool and terrifying, to match with her, so he puts some fake Blood on him on his neck and he brings his childhood fake toy gun and a spike , so now he IS a kinda punk Vampire Hunter cowboy. He looks amazing.

Camila dresses as a Vampire too, with sexy make Up (see Camila Morrone Nars Lipstick promo makeup) with a long flowy classy black dress and puts a very simple neck two fangs wounds. She sews a tiny black Witch dress with shiny bits,very pretty, 20's like gown for Julia, with a hat and everything, the hat part IS constantly rejected by Julia , that has other plans...and throws a tantrum until she gets to...wear a red wig, to be dressed as Daisy.

Billy Finally convinces Julia to be a Mini redhead Witch , so both his Girls are Happy. Julia gets the wig, but throws her hat all the time, Camila seems content, but is slightly sad and holds Julia's hat all the time she throws it away . Only just with the shiny black dress (that looks eerily very similar to the dying on the shower Daisy's outfit) she totally traumatises (unwillingly) Billy (for obvious ptsd reasons).

Speaking about the devilBilly...He hates this kinds of things, he always dress as himself with a sticker putting : Myself or alt "RockStar" or "Julia's Dad " "Camis husband" "Graham bro" "Daisy's Shithead"...Etc XD.

This year, and after :

1- Daisys jocking taunting him about last years non effort crappy costumes (75' 76' and 77' previous home parties).

2- Camila's sadness over the hat she made for Julia

and

3 - Julias tantrum.

He , for once, says fuck It! , and makes a Halloween effort, and a great one. He buys a profesional costume like those wore by actors. He looks sexy , regal like he just came out of the XIX century... And he dresses as a Classy regency Vampire, He even cuts his hair shorter just before the party, like when he was twelve, because Camila had told him that He would look super cute like that now too, to surprise her and make her Happy, after Julia's drama. Then he puts into good use the new beard he was growing (my inspo was thirsting over Sam dressed as Edmond Dantes at some of The Count of Montecristo promo pics and It showed XD). Also he wears fake fangs and a bit of fake Blood on his lower lip. He looks like The sexiest™.

Simone accompanies Billy for the surprise to her old time expensive costume store , and she dresses as a old time Queen Voodoo Witch (picture Marie Laveau) She looks like a queen (like always).

Bernie and Eddie dresses as a pair of terryfying realistic Zombies, as they both went to remind Daisy about the party (Bernie ordered by Simone and Eddie by Rod) ; then she uses them as her Makeup Guinea pigs... And gives them some clothes - that the lousy Nicky left forgotten at her House after the breakup- covered in strawberry Jelly. Then she creates fake wounds on both of them with melted cheese sheets and makeup on their skins, to create realistic fake wounds that seems ripped chomps of skin and meat. The both look like munched corpses. They scare themselves and the others. Simone IS super traumatised for Bernie. They are delighted if cheesy smeling XD. Warren jokingly steals one wound from Eddie and eats It. Everyone goes eew!!!

Rod dressed as Drácula a la Bela Lugosi. Super dapper.

Teddy dresses as an ancient Warlock, like Gandalf lord of the rings book drawings.

Daisy comes 2h'30 mins late, everyone thinks she forgot...and to be honest she kinda did forget about the party the first 30 min , until she got reminded by her dear zombies XD

But nope, shell be the Halloween Queen , she IS secretly that "unhinged for Halloween" group friend who likes to traumatise the rest,. She puts a super sexy silky White dress (inspo IS a dress Riley wore once silky and White) , but as she has inherited her father artistic drawing talent , she draws wounds on herself too, she puts something sticky red on those face and arms wounds, and some Green juice too, then she wets and messies her hair too, and goes shoeless...As adult Regan from the exorcist.

Also - as the dramatic little shit she is (affectionately)- She enters the party doing theatrics mimicking the unfamous stairs scene (those artistic gymnastic classes paid by her parents should be put on good use right?) Almost everyone feels like fainting or gets trauma wide mouthed, then as she stoods Up, Daisy just evil laughs...XD

Only one not traumatised , Its tiny Julia, who inmediatelly goes to Daisy hugs her and ask her if she likes her costume . Daisy praises Julias costume, as her "Kid self" was a terrifying little Monster, and after watching Camila holding the hat and Billy trauma face when watching Julia, she convinces Julia into wearing the hat and of being Witchy Baby!Daisy , as she always wanted to be a Witch as a kid. Camila silently thanks her. Billy seems relieved.

Julia then slightly concerned asks Daisy if she got chickenpox " like I did when I started school" and then scrached like she did XD

Billy almost dies of laughter after that.

Everyone relaxes then and has a great time.

Julia wins the costumes kids award of the party as Mini Daisy.

Simone wins best female costume. Billy Its tied with Graham as co winners for male costumes. Daisy wins the best scare /scary time , but never gets invited again to the club party, as the old owner almost got a Heart attack XD

She then start a tradition of making a Halloween party at her House... Everyone Its terrified to go (sauf Julia, brave little nugget she IS).

As an Adult Julia grows even more unhinged than Daisy for Halloween...Dressing as Samara from the Ring or as La Llorona and keeps jumping from corners !!! Billy IS very afraid of her during that week and blames everyone for it. Camila shrugs It off, she's used to that dumbasery already XD.

Looong ooneee, I know.

Thats It!

Harvey has joined the inaugural Visionary Alliance for the National Hispanic Media Coalition! As The Hollywood Reporter describes:

Alliance members will lend their professional expertise to longstanding NHMC entertainment initiatives such as its Series Scriptwriters Program and Latinx Stream Showcase and also get involved in the nonprofit’s social justice and policy advocacy work.

“NHMC is about representation from the White House to Hollywood,” the coalition’s president and CEO Brenda Victoria Castillo tells THR. “The policies and decisions that are made in D.C. affect Hollywood. The way Hollywood decides they’re going to portray Latinos is the way we’re perceived and the way the public treats us, and it’s a vicious cycle.”

The inaugural Alliance members also include Ismael Cruz Córdova (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Wilson Cruz, Rosario Dawson, Diane Guerrero (Encanto, Doom Patrol), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), Eva Longoria, Gabriel Luna (The Last of Us), Justina Machado, Encanto producer Yvett Merino, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Danny Pino (Mayans M.C., Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), Aubrey Plaza, Gina Torres, Wilmer Valderrama and Lisa Vidal (Being Mary Jane).

Revista A Zica lança seu quinto número em edição especial

Publicação reúne trabalhos de dezenas de artistas de todo o país com os temas “vermes”, “astronautas” e “América Latina”

No dia 22/09, sábado, a quinta edição da revista A Zica será lançada na galeria de arte Mama/Cadela, a partir das 14h. A publicação, que é uma das mais representativas do cenário dos quadrinhos e artes visuais underground do Brasil, é editada em Belo Horizonte por Luiz Navarro, Marcos Batista e João Perdigão desde 2010. Durante o lançamento, haverá ainda uma exposição com trabalhos dos coletivos Video Arde (Desali e Rafael Freime), Miolo Frito (SP), Kid Azucrina, Estevam Gomes e outros artistas que participaram da publicação ao longo de sua história, além de show com o trio de gipsy jazz Yeka. Além da revista, estará a venda uma seleção de publicações de pequenas e preciosas editoras amigas d’A Zica

A cada edição da revista, os trabalhos são selecionados a partir de três temas, considerando-se o humor e a imprevisibilidade do resultado. Nesta edição, os temas foram vermes, astronautas e América Latina - com este último, os editores buscaram provocar uma reflexão sobre o crítico momento político pelo qual passa a região. Ao longo de sua trajetória, a revista tem se afirmado como uma vitrine para o trabalho dos artistas e uma referência em publicações colaborativas do Brasil.

Nesta nova edição, A Zica reúne o trabalho de cerca de 70 artistas – o maior número desde o seu lançamento - e traz um projeto gráfico especial.  Entre os nomes dos artistas publicados, estão os mineiros Desali, artista plástico, Binho Barreto, ilustrador, Paola Rodrigues, ilustradora, Narowe, artista plástico, entre outros. Há ainda vários artistas de outros estados, como os quadrinistas Adão Iturrusgarai (RS), Ricardo Coimbra (SP) e Mariana Moyses (RJ), além de outros países como o quadrinista mexicano Nava, do coletivo Latino Toons. A capa ficou por conta do gaúcho Diego Gerlach, um dos grandes nomes dos quadrinhos nacionais, convidado especialmente para esta edição, e que também publicou uma HQ no miolo da revista .

Uma das principais características da linha curatorial d’A Zica é justamente a diversidade: abarca traços de diferentes estilos, assim como trabalhos de artistas iniciantes ou com trajetórias reconhecidas.

Projeto gráfico e extras

Além de um número maior de artistas selecionados, o projeto gráfico foi primorosamente elaborado pelos artistas plásticos e designers Matheus Ferreira e Bruno Rios. A revista aumentou de dimensão em relação às edições anteriores, agora em formato americano (19x26cm), além de ser feita com papeis especiais, com impressão em serigrafia na capa e uma tiragem numerada de mil exemplares. Além disso, conta ainda com alguns extras, como dois pôsteres encartados, feitos pelos ilustradores Benson Chin (SP) e De Merda (BH), além de uma cartela com seis adesivos (com artes de Dayane Lima, Diego Sanchez, Marcos Batista, Binho Barreto, Desali e Aline Lemos).

Fotozine

Para completar, como publicação extra, será lançado também um fotozine com o trabalho do fotógrafo Matheus Sá Motta. A publicação traz imagens capturadas no Baixo Centro de Belo Horizonte entre 2014 e 2017 que retratam a juventude periférica ocupando o espaço público da cidade. Segundo o próprio autor: “A fotografia de rua, entre as máquinas de guerra da trincheira urbana belo-horizontina, é a minha arma. Ela me permite criar imagens bélicas que solidificam marcos de resistência que se desmancham no ar”.

Financiamento Coletivo e Frankenstein

Esta última edição da revista A Zica foi produzida a partir de um financiamento coletivo, com uma intensa campanha de divulgação que durou dois meses e testou as emoções dos três editores.  Ao final, 236 pessoas apoiaram a produção da revista, que também terá como produtos aparte, dois posters em serigrafia feitos pelos artistas mineiros Hugo de Paula e Estevam Gomes e um patch desenhado pelo artista gráfico Paulo Marcelo Oz . Como a meta de arrecadação foi superada, os editores se propuseram a lançar, em breve, uma nova publicação: A Criatura, que homenageará a escritora Mary Shelley, autora do personagem Frankenstein, que está completando 200 anos de lançamento. A publicação será elaborada por três editoras convidadas (Clarice Lacerda, Ingrid Lee e Maria Trika) e reunirá trabalhos exclusivamente de artistas mulheres e está em processo de produção.

TRANSPORTED: A Latino love story with laughter and loss

The cast of TRANSPORTED by San Diego playwright Lisa Balderston now playing at PowPAC, Poway's Community Theatre through February 20th

There is a World Premiere play now in performance at PowPAC, Poway's Community Theatre. Submitted for the theatre's 40th Season, TRANSPORTED survived the COVID shutdown, found its way to an initial ZOOM room virtual presentation, and now sees the light of a full production.

Playwright Lisa Balderston was born and raised in San Diego. She says this play is personal with inspiration from her own Latino family. But the story goes well beyond her personal experiences and takes on conflicts and controversies that are relevant and ripping apart families today.

TRANSPORTED is the story of two sons in love played by Timothy Benson (Enrique Ramirez) and KaananHesseling (Javier Torres) and the mothers who love them. The mothers, Laura Gracie (Mari Ramirez) and Suzanne Whitman (Sara Torres) are friends excited to celebrate the upcoming wedding of their children. Act 1 is the celebration and discovery that not all the family supports what should be a beautiful event. Rayne Gonzalez, a 16 year old actress plays the younger sister, Gabi Torres. Balderston uses the character as the perfect foil to the bigotry and denial often found in conservative ethnic families. It's the mothers who carry the play through laughter, loss, and ultimately the love we know is there but not shown until the tragedy that unfolds in Act 2.

TRANSPORTED takes the audience on a journey many families have traveled. The comedy is tempered with truth that often hurts. A few times during the performance there were audible gasps from the audience both in shock and  agreement. This world premiere is rough around the edges and sometimes feels like a work in progress. It is a perfect antidote to the virus pandemic still plaguing us.

Suzanne Whitman and Rayne Gonzalez with Laura Gracie sharing a moment of healing.

In his program Director's Notes, Gil Savage is clear on his commitment to making sure this production happened and that the issues it raises are genuinely portrayed. He said, "We are becoming desensitized. This story allows the audience to ride along with the hearts and minds of people who have had to endure these tragedies in the real world. The more I got to know the characters, the more I appreciated the author's message of what is real, what is courageous, and what is human."

PowPAC Theatre enforces COVID protocols. Proof of full vaccination is required and checked before patrons are cleared to the box office desk and allowed to be seated.

TRANSPORTED by Lisa Balderston is directed by Gil Salvage and produced by Lyn Wolsey. The production runs the next two weekends with added matinees on Saturday. Tickets and more information can be found at www.PowPAC.org

He sits down with National Basketball     Players Association President Chris     Paul and Carmelo Anthony, both future NBA Hall-of-Famers, and John Carlos whose protest at the 1968 Olympics cost him his     Olympic career. The NFL’s Michael     Thomas also opens up about kneeling in solidarity with Colin     Kaepernick during the 2016 season.

When Black Lives Matter protests came to Atlanta, WNBA champion     and former Atlanta Dream player-turned-owner Renee Montgomery turned her energy to empowering her community,     stepping away from what would have been her 12th season in the     league. In a tell-all conversation with Hill, Montgomery talks about the     power of protest, the role of Black women in the struggle for racial     equality, the WNBA’s uniquely unwavering support of its athletes and players     across the league supporting Reverend Raphael Warnock in the special     Georgia Senate election to replace part-Dream owner and now former Republican     Senator Kelly Loeffler who criticized the league for its support of BLM.

UCLA gymnasts Nia     Dennis and Margzetta Frazier     tumbled into viral sensations with their floor routines that celebrated     Black excellence. They talk with Moton about how they unapologetically     challenged traditional gymnastic norms, navigating their newfound fame,     growing up in a white dominated sport and how they hope to inspire a new     group of young athletes. Plus, decorated Olympian Dominique Dawes, who paved the way for many Black gymnasts,     also weighs in on how Dennis and Frazier are changing the sport.

Hostin moderates this week’s revealing “In the Kitchen”     conversation with “Monday Night Football” and NBA reporter and E:60 host Lisa Salters, senior NBA writer     for The Undefeated Marc Spears     and ESPN host and college analyst/reporter Maria Taylor.

ESPN’s The Undefeated examines the crossover between     sports and film and how movies have been used as a tool to make cultural     and social statements about Black athletes and the Black community. Through     the lens of iconic films such as “He Got Game” and “Remember the Titans,” Deon     Cole, Mo’ne Davis, Wood Harris, Janaya Future Khan, Soraya McDonald,     Sylvia Obell, Saweetie, Tyrod Taylor and Justin Tinsley comment on     what these films have taught about race, culture and being a Black athlete     in America. 

To close out the show, Common performs “Get It Right” publicly for the first time from     his upcoming new album, “A Beautiful     Revolution Pt. 2,” coming this spring.

 “Soul of a Nation,” the first broadcast network newsmagazine that aims to put Black life in America front and center, will present viewers with a unique window into authentic realities of Black life and dive deeper into this critical moment of racial awakening. It will travel across the country, unpacking issues critical to Black Americans through intimate storytelling, and bridge the past, present and future through a variety of voices and experiences from athletes, entertainers, performers and screenwriters. Each episode will explore a specific theme, including spirituality, Black joy, activism in sports and the racial reckoning that erupted after George Floyd’s death, and familiar faces – performers, activists, scholars and clergy – will gather for an entertaining and provocative conversation “in the kitchen” about current events. A special performance featuring some of the nation’s greatest musicians or spoken word artists will close out each show.

“Soul of a Nation” is executive produced by Eric Johnson and Robe Imbriano, Chantre Camack serves as Executive Editorial Producer, James Adolphus is series director and Marie Nelson is the series creator and Senior Vice President of Integrated Content Strategy at ABC News.

“Soul of a Nation” is the latest original programming from ABC News which has a renewed focus on telling diverse stories across the news division. Previous programming includes the #1-rated “Juneteenth: A Celebration of Overcoming,” three-day division-wide series “Pandemic – A Nation Divided” on the disparity in race and class amid the pandemic, “America in Pain: What Comes Next?” on the protests and outrage across the country in response to the killing of George Floyd and police brutality and systemic racism against Black Americans, the month-long reporting series “Turning Point” and pre-election special “America’s Future: The Power of the Latino Vote.”

REPLY CLAY Thomas I'VE NEVER HEARD A FIRST LADY SAY A PRAYER, LET ALONE THE APOSTLE'S PRAYER. (JESUS GAVE IT AS AN EXAMPLE TO THE APOSTLES) The Apostles said 'Lord teach us to pray', the Lord said in Luke 11, a model of prayer for the Apostles to follow. A template if you will. 1. To glorify God and praise His Hallowed name 

2.To support and pray for His Kingdom to be reflected on the Earth

 3. To assure us that we will always and every day have the Holy Bible with which to feed us through the Holy Spirit  

4. To forgive us our sins as we confess them to Him with a contrite heart and in turn forgive those who cause us pain and sorrow in our daily lives (for they know not what they do)

 5. God  will not allow us to bear a burden we are not capable of bearing, He knows exactly what we can handle (lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,  the believer will be delivered from the pain and suffering of the world, through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sticking With the Schuylers (42)

Happy anniversary day everyone! 6 months!!  I’m so happy to see a bunch of new readers (welcome, hope you enjoy the ride) and I’m very thankful to have made it this far :) Thank you all so much for making this story possible !!

Here’s the second part of your present! A double post day

1  2  3  4   5   6   7   8   9   10   1112   I  13  14   15   16   17   18A  18B   18C  I  19   20   21   22   23   24   25  26   27  28   29   I  30  31  32 33 34 35  36  37  38  39 40  41

Tagging: @linsnavi  

Warnings: This story is pretty heavy on mentions of both physical and emotional abuse.

A venti vanilla latte with a double shot of espresso; the steam billows into the air from the open lid of a paper coffee cup, granted more air to cool itself down. Through layers of thick and cloud-like foam the steam creates magnificent swirling patterns, its constant change a dance of uncertainty before it disappears completely. The fog blends with the stagnant, aromatic air of the coffee shop. Eliza watches it come and go in waves of attention. How strange it is that the air that gives life to herself is also taking it from this fog-dance.

               Her goal is to empty the paper cup. Its contents, much stronger than she is used to, burn on the way down. Caffeine settles in her veins, pumping blood now awake and riddled with anxiety to her rapidly beating heart. She inhales the bagel she had bought-its purpose is to soak up some of the wicked potion, to quell her nerves. The coffee is making her stomach turn. The caffeine does nothing but become its partner, egging it on. It is a power source much too heightened for the weight of her body and the unfamiliarity with copious amounts of artificial energy. Today, however, she needs it.

               Eliza leans over the table, eyes narrowed in concentration. Across the space she had claimed lay an organized sort of chaos-a pile of her belongings once neatly organized lost to the busied state of her mind. She can barely see past the thick book she has been filling; can barely feel the ache in her hands or the pinch in her downcast neck. She concentrates on the thinned out scratching of graphite on paper, a brushing as her hand moves in flurried motions. It is controlled by memories, this moment; her mind aches with the task of transferring three-dimensional dreams onto a flat surface. The translation is a difficult one-it is impossible to bring about a feeling through a series of scratches; of lines and dots and sketched figures that fit only the bill of her subconscious world. In Eliza’s head, Lisa had said, these gatherings of color and light and blurred lines make perfect sense. There is a translation of emotion she is able to read just by the touch of blue or a hardened press of graphite. Eliza doesn’t quite buy that theory. It helps, though, this consuming task. It keeps her busy.

               The work that she has done lays before her in torn-out pages; it had felt right to keep them side-by-side, in a series of sorts. Her drink is only 1/4th of the way gone. Her table is filled with a dusting of color and torn paper and the potent stench the two espresso shots bring her once tame latte. Eliza cannot bring herself to look at them altogether. She’s sure she’ll have to next week, when she’s stuck in the room filled with a sense of try-hard feng-shui and Lisa’s favorite and completely impractical magenta suede pumps. She’s sure the amount of scratches on paper will at least double by then.

               Living by herself hadn’t been hard before she’d known exactly what safety had felt like.

               The scratching pauses. Eliza draws in another long sip of what is essentially only caffeine and looks down at the progress she has made on her current scene. Her mind dutifully directs itself back to autopilot, back to graphite shavings and a stained hand and subtle movements that fill her mind with purpose. The art lets her mind wander, to fog and to disappear for a while. For that reason, she loves drawing more than any other hobby she has had.

               When their girls were young, Phillip and Catherine Schuyler had sat them down in turn on their sixth birthday. What do you want to do? They had asked, and presented them with flyers and brochures of activities they could choose from; hobbies, interests. These things would keep their girls well rounded-and they had. Angelica chose tennis; she and Phillip had already been out on the courts, during special dad-and-Angie time her sisters had always been jealous of. It had become a way of networking, having a daughter who hit those rubber balls with a vengeance and spoke her mind so passionately. In choosing this hobby Angelica had chosen to become her father’s right hand girl. The zeal for tennis lasted only a short while, but the political upbringing brought her along to eagerly fill the role of Phillip’s doubles partner. Angelica was a pretty good tennis player, but she’d found her calling in networking with his colleagues. This was-and still is-her niche.

               Peggy had bounced between activities so many times Eliza finds it hard to keep track. She’d done gymnastics for a while, but the arduous hours in a sweaty gym hadn’t been worth the pretty trophies for the youngest daughter. From there she’d tried basketball, and dance, and then softball. In each sport, she’d found something wrong. The real problem with Peggy and sports is her tendency to fall on her face, proven in several well-hidden home videos.

               For Eliza, the memory is vivid. Right when she had woken up on her sixth birthday she’d come barreling down the stairs. She’d been the one to sit with their parents-to initiate the conversation. In her fluffy pink party dress, and hair done-up in an elaborate braided crown, she’d spun on shining white mary janes before insisting that ballet was her only option. From the very first class, she had fallen in love. In elementary school it had been the costumes that won her over; sparkles and sequins and layers of tulle that puffed her out like a cupcake. She’d wear the frocks around the house, only taking them off when bedtime and tulle became an incompatible match. As she got older she got better, and a fixation on costumes turned to trophies. This didn’t last long. The thrill of winning felt glorious in her heart, which swelled with unfiltered joy each time her parents brought flowers to her competitions (a glorious rainbow of gerber daisies-they always brought flowers). The swell of her heart then translated into a multitude of feelings. As her solos grew harder they also grew stories-Eliza was called upon to play a character in these moments, and she’d grown fond of the opportunity to tell stories through movement. That was when she realized how much she could release from a repetition of pirouettes or a leap across the studio floor. The negative feelings in her heart were translated through her heart to her body, and down through the floor. They would stay there in that studio.

               When she’d grown too old to compete-when volunteer work and schooling and life had gotten in the way-Eliza had felt lost. Dancing had been her release. When she’d left it, she’d left the ability to spin away her feelings. And then she’d met James.

               Sketching became Eliza’s freedom almost as naturally as dancing had.  It started on a whim, a trip through a craft store and a glance in the right direction. She’d grabbed the tiny blue sketchpad as an afterthought, perhaps for a project she hadn’t quite planned yet. Then, things turned difficult. Life became taxing to live. Eliza could not dance; she could not even leave her apartment. The colorful sticks of charcoal had taken to her hands like second nature. The colors, their palate often in tandem with her own skin’s unnatural coloring of cruelty, often dusted her arms and the length of her palm. She let her fingers roam across paper, smearing purples and blues and peaches together to create a starry night of colors. Eliza never sketched to gain praise. Her art would not hang on gallery walls. But sitting in front of a blank canvas, her mind took solace in a new medium to press herself onto. The covers of her sketchbooks breathe a sigh of relief when they are opened.  In turn, she thanks them for their time. With charcoal, or graphite, or pen, her mind is able to heal.

               The healing also comes with the aesthetic of the coffee shop, wrapped in sparkling silver tinsel and cutout snowflakes, cable-knit blankets draped over warm leather couches. Her drink had been served in one of the last red holiday cups, a reminder of the holiday season now in the past. Just before they’d left for her family’s Christmas Eve party Eliza and Alex had sat in this same booth, drawing trees and snowmen and stars on each other’s cups with a Sharpie John had smuggled over the counter. She’d laughed at his rendition of a reindeer; a mess of basic shapes akin to a child’s shaky artwork. Her cup is now bare, devoid of any kind of design. She stares at the dimensionless red, lets its bright coloring hurt eyes which seem to be searching for its imperfections.

               “You alright?” The voice pierces through her fog, hushed and soft and bright in timbre. John leans over the counter to speak to her, an eye trained on a fat, handsome man in an identical uniform. It’s the first day in a while his boss has stopped by this particular Starbucks, and as shift manager the collected, charismatic Latino is attempting to look busy. So far the day hadn’t been too taxing-a few discrepancies with a new employee messing up drinks, one millisecond of a lack of filter…yes, so far John Laurens would check this off as a pretty good day. His boss seems impressed, looking over a beautifully painted mural of snowflakes and swirls that graces the glass windows. It is a job he was supposed to assign to one of his employees; he’d scoffed at the thought. Within their ranks, there was not a stitch of artistic talent. He’d called Peggy instead, who’d come a few times that week and adorned a borrowed green apron to paint in exchange for the company-and the free coffee.

               His smile widens when his boss turns to approve the decoration, his hands moving as if he’d been cleaning the counter the entire time. When the man turns back around again, John’s shoulders drop. He’d meant to be excelling at the day-showing management that he really did deserve the raise he had gotten. The raise is all but forgotten when Eliza walks through the door. If she hadn’t nearly stumbled her way to the counter, her uncharacteristic exhaustion would have been noted by the sheer weight she seemed to be carrying around. Each footstep hit the hardwood flooring heavy, wading through a tumultuous mud that keeps her pace slow and her eyes to the ground. Her order spills between slightly upturned lips and a smile that doesn’t quite reach her cheeks. And when he hesitates-stares at her dull and unmoving expression-she moves along as if nothing has happened.

               So he can’t ignore her. As his boss walks slow and meticulous circles around the shop John juggles his attention between a sudden influx of customers and Eliza’s sinking form in their usual booth. She has a wide span of work lain out before her which she bends over in a concentration only broken by the opening of the door or a voice too loud too soon. Then she’s hyperaware, throwing her hands over her work as her body is jumpstarted by the shock. She fits the lag of the shop’s music; acoustic guitars and soft vocals by artists who use their breathiest voice to convey a dream-like feel. Usually, Eliza Schuyler fits into this aesthetic like the piece of a hand-crafted puzzle. Today, her energy carries to the counter and sets his own heart to her own erratic rhythm.

               Between his boss and his currently incompetent employees John keeps a piece of himself tethered to the table Eliza has holed herself up at. For a moment he considers sneaking out back to text Alex, to give him warning and ask for his help. His fingers even hover over the screen of his phone for a moment, typing and erasing before his head is filled with the voices of his mother, and his sisters. They’d think it a terrible idea to meddle like this, sticking his nose in business that only kind-of pertains to himself. He’s not sure about his youngest sisters (Emily would probably have already gone and gotten Alex herself) but Amaia and his mother would adorn identical expressions. The slightly lowered brow, the crinkling of skin between them, and a constant company of arms crossed over chests….this is how he’d been raised. He fears the power of the women in his family, but he respects their opinion more. Even though they are not there, and they have not said a word, they are right. They’re always right.

               In lieu of meddling John walks back and forth along the back counter of the bar, scrubbing down machine handles and picture frames and the bottom of the fridge. From this vantage point he can see her perfectly. She’s sketching, a thin pencil between dexterous fingers making hasty lines across paper that is no longer blank. The rip of its release breaks the soft sound barrier of the shop then, cutting through murmured voices and the whirring of appliances to announce its presence. He flinches, watching her lay the piece in a line of matching canvases. There is only the simplicity of a blurred monochrome blanket or art she had been working on for hours now, since he’d opened the doors to the shop. He can’t see much of anything from this point. He inches closer.

               He’s lucky, he supposes then, that she’s sitting so close to the sink area. When his boss looks over he can soak his hands in water, clearing utensils and blenders and tools from his path. He does his best impression of a well-tuned employee, eyes turned to a focus and pace moving rapid although he is not really doing much work at all. It turns out that for John, pretending to be busy is harder work than actually doing his job. The façade is worth it.

               The pictures she has drawn all seem to be linked, although there is no clear start or finish to the story she is illustrating. Then, it is abstract. There are no real characters, just one hastily sketched figure that is blurred in some drawings and scratched away in others. A page in the middle has been covered in darkness, so much so that John can still see the dusting of graphite that has loosened from a harsher pressure on the tool. Another directly next to it features only a face which, although clearly hastily drawn with a gathering of identical lines, isn’t much unlike her own. There is a blur, where she’d smeared the darks and lights together from her left eye to the tip of her chin so that she is barely unrecognizable. The choice seems odd on such a lovely portrait. Looking closer the blur continues, up toward the head where glossy hair typically fell into loose curls. She had blurred that too, turned dark hair darker and highlighted it with harsh lines throughout its nest. These lines twisted and contorted, wrapped around the neck in tight twists that pinched at her skin. This is where the picture stopped. She’d started another.

               The one she is working on now, in hard concentration, features a rolling of markings that resemble the cloth of a curtain, or a dress. A dress, John decides as he leans a bit closer, is more similar to what this picture must be conveying. Through the blackened canvas the fabric stands out, white and clean and polished with a bow. It hangs from one corner of the frame, where it’s being pinched by hands that dwarf it in size. There are hard, sharp lines adorning the hand, which does not translate in harmony to the softness of the silk and the flow of the dress. From the line of focus this scene portrays, from top left to bottom right, there is the hand, the dress, and another figure. This one is small, creating the illusion that it must be floating away. Where the hand is sharp and the dress soft, this figure floats somewhere in the middle. Unlike the other pieces of work she’d created, the girl in this picture does not show her face. Her body is both curled into itself and splayed out, upside-down and floating in a sea of black graphite. Brilliant dark hair billows below her head, hanging and catching in the sketch to create motion. Where John had thought the figure was simply floating, he guesses again. There is nothing peaceful about this piece. Where the sketch of just her face had been pleasant-save the blurring of its left side-this falling in an endless space of darkness gives off a vibe that sticks in his gut. A chill runs through his blood, beginning and ending in an infinite loop that makes him want to turn away from it all. His sight pans back out to the grouping of pictures, depictions of scenes within Eliza’s mind that come in flashes of horrific memories.  His intake of breath is audible, and uncontrolled. He puts a hand over his mouth when Eliza turns sharp to face him. He’s been caught.

               “John!” Her hands rest on her table, covering the figure and the face to no avail. He’s already seen it all, that much is evident by the uncomfortable brushing of his top and bottom lips to each other, the way his eyes can barely meet hers. She moves to say something else but can’t figure out what it should be; she could explain herself, the pictures and the coffee and the frantic look on her face. She could accuse him for invading her privacy, but what good would that be? She’s sitting in a public place, his place of work…she’d been stupid to think he wouldn’t notice her there. She hadn’t been thinking at all, actually.

               There is a level of unrest that’s lain harsh on her gentle features. Soft lips are curved into the mirror of a smile, wistful and hopeful and pretending. The beginnings of dark rings hang under lifeless eyes, illustrating her exhaustion and keeping herself away from him. He nods, although no other hint of conversation has been given. It’s a response to her body language; her harsh covering of art and her inability to say anything more. Although he doesn’t fully understand, he knows. This is not something he should be poking his nose into. In the moment he notices her sharp defense he decides to leave the art alone, although he cannot un-see what he has seen-they are both aware of this fact.

               “So….a venti?” Eliza laughs then, shaking her head and piling her art back into her sketchbook. She uses her fingers to shake out her loose curls, tossing them over her shoulder.

               “Yeah, it’s been…interesting. It was an interesting night.” She doesn’t need to say anything more-the saccharine fragrance of vanilla espresso and the overly done lilt in her voice are enough to give away her true meaning. John frowns, drumming his fingers on the countertop, contemplating what to say.

               “I uh, yeah. Yeah, it wasn’t too good for Alex either. Have you talked to him?”

               “Today? Yeah. This morning, just to say hi. About this?” She holds her sketchbook in her hands, caressing the cover and looking down at its worn-out binding with the bite of her lip. There is a sensation that comes along with even looking at its cover, something between the release of peace and an aggressive hold on her heart that keeps her chained to its therapy. The choking of her heart is necessary. Holding the book, it seems useless. But it’s opening its pages-translating feeling to rough lines and vast spaces that make it worth its initial pain. Telling Alexander would mean having to show him what she’s done-to explain each of the moments she’d had to sit down, where words were not enough to release her emotions. It’s something that makes her cringe upon the thought. It’s not necessary, not yet.

               “I don’t want to make him feel guilty.”

               “Say no more, E. We’re done talking about it.” John has a way of glossing over things; of making people forget he ever even knew what had happened. Flashes of the night before present themselves in the forefront of his mind; Alex standing wearily at the door, his fight with Lafayette…even this morning he had been lackluster, leaving the apartment without breakfast or coffee. If he didn’t like Eliza, he could’ve presented her with all of the consequences her actions had caused, the effects of her choice. If he hadn’t known her, or what she’s going through, this would have been very easy to do. Letting go of people is something he has no trouble with, especially when those people have hurt those that he loves. This is different. While Eliza had hurt Alex she hadn’t done it intentionally-this move had been the best decision for them both. And Eliza…he’d grown closer to Eliza in the past few months than he’d anticipated. Dropping her, if there ever would be a need, would be harder than he’d thought.

John wears a lopsided smile, body propped on the length of his lower arm against the countertop. He drapes the cloth he had been pretending to clean with over his shoulder, eyes dusted with the familiar hints of mischief.

               “You want to be distracted?” John sends the proposition her way with inflection in his voice and a quick glance back to his boss. Luckily, he still hasn’t noticed the lack of work ethic he’s been presenting.  He turns back just in time to see Eliza’s hesitant nod.

               “Emily’s coming to game night on Friday.”

               “Oh good,”

               “-Oh yeah, I’m kind of making her come.”

               “Oh?” Eliza’s turned completely in the booth now, facing John and leaning slightly against her table. He’s completely relaxed now, barely passing a glance at the wandering man with the clipboard. He’s not too concerned with John, either; right now he’s fixated on the well-being of a couple sitting on the other side of the shop.

               “She’s….she’s had it rough. Her friends are all assholes and I hate them.”

               “John!”

               “I’m being generous here. They’re all a bunch of stuck up little hypocrites and she just needs a night away from them. The one person I hate more than them is her girlfriend.”

               “What’s wrong with her?” She’s trying to play the middle man and he groans at the thought of it all, rolling his eyes at her sweet tone and open mind. He wants to project his mind to her own, to show her the girl that is currently holding his middle sister’s heart hostage in a rampant game of tug-of-war. His strong, independent sister has been pining over this girl for years to receive nothing in return but an ever-changing frame of mind.

               “She’s a serial dater. She’s crazy, and manipulative, and they’ve broken up four times in the past few months. This is so not my sister. And her friends? Her friends could care less, they’re only concerned with whether or not this girl will be at the apartment and if she’s brought food. They’re exploiting Emily for some halfway decent chef who just graduated from dishwasher and hasn’t set a single goal for herself in her life. They’re the worst match.”

               “So you’re forcing her to hang out with her brother and his friends because….”

               “You and your sisters are good people-you got along when you met her, right? I mean she’s kind of a bitch but once you get to know her she’s great. She needs some new friends, desperately. Plus, she’s Alex’s sister too so you need to get in with the family at some point.”

               “Alright, I’m sold.”

               “Really, that easily?” Eliza laughs at his shock, nodding and gathering her things. She gestures behind John, pulling her lips into a nervous curl as the sound of footsteps approach them. He turns just in time to see his boss, large and a pitiful attempt at being intimidating. It gets John moving. His lanky form putters around the little bar, grasping at Eliza’s half-empty cup and attempting to recreate what he’d made her much earlier in the morning. His facial features are immediately set to a concentrated sort of smile, which he flashes at his boss with a set of pearly white teeth. His boss nods. Eliza rolls her eyes. Once again, John has avoided work with only his boyish smile.

               She leaves him then, thanking him for the mucked up version of her drink she’s already too caffeinated to drink. It feels nice to have a purpose; to set out to class with a new goal in mind. By the time her day is over she’s busy compiling lists-thoughts and facts to tell her sisters about the friend they need to make. Going home to an empty apartment is lonely; quiet. But she has Alex on the other end of the phone, his exuberant tenor telling her every story he knows about Emily Laurens. He understands her; with a goal in her mind, Eliza can be busy. With this goal in her mind, she barely needs the release of her sketchbook. Her thoughts are geared toward an uncontrollable optimism, a need to reach the end result so clearly paved in her mind. Friday can’t come quick enough.

It’s a Family Affair

Last year, married Once Upon a Time veterans Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas each booked a pilot: her Steps family comedy at ABC did not go to air, but his thriller drama Manifest at NBC did, even though it looks unlikely that it will have a second season. Meanwhile, another ABC family comedy Single Parents, which did go to series, cast twins Sadie and Grace Hazlett in its pilot, and then Mia and Ella Allen replaced them in the series. So what other families are in business this season?

SPOUSES

Anna Camp and Skylar Astin, who met when they were filming on the musical film series Pitch Perfect, have now each booked a musical pilot. Camp is the female lead in NBC’s half-hour comedy Perfect Harmony opposite Bradley Whitford, while Astin has been cast in the same network’s hourlong dramedy, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. No telling yet whether the musical premises will set these shows in competition, or if both will be picked up and aired as part of a musical block.

The Annables, Dave and Odette, are doing pilots for different networks, though both projects are from the 20th Century FOX Television studio. Odette has been cast as the female lead in FOX’s half-hour romantic comedy Adam & Eve. Dave will play one of four central half-siblings in an ABC hourlong family drama, Heart of Life. Both previously had roles on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters, and each had a role in a FOX medical drama (she was on the final season of House M.D., he was in single-season Red Band Society).

Simone Missick, who starred in Luke Cage as Misty Knight, and her husband Dorian Missick who guested on Luke Cage’s second season, have both booked regular roles this pilot season in legal dramas. Simone will lead the cast of CBS’s Courthouse, as a newly promoted judge, while Dorian will play a reformed prison inmate and best friend to the lead character in the Untitled Hank Steinberg Project, based on the real-life story of Isaac Wright Jr. who was framed and wrongfully convicted as a drug kingpin before proving his innocence and getting his law degree.

SIBLINGS

Dani and Dannah Lockett are two young sisters who became a viral sensation after offering the advice “Call Jesus.” The sisters have been cast alongside each other in an NBC comedy The Kenan Show starring SNL’s Kenan Thompson, as the daughters of his widower character. The pilot will be directed by comedian Chris Rock, and will also star Oscar nominee Andy García as the girls’ maternal grandfather.

Super Simple Love Story from CBS will feature actresses Vanessa and Laura Marano, the former of whom is best known for recurring in Gilmore Girls and starring in Switched at Birth and the latter of whom is best known from starring in Austin & Ally. Their father will be played by New Girl’s David Walton. While both actresses are in their twenties, the show will span across ten years and include the actresses playing as teens.

Sisters Lisa and Christina Vidal have both booked roles, though in their case on separate shows. Older sister Lisa was a regular in all the seasons of Being Mary Jane (where Christina actually guested as her character’s sister) and was cast in last year’s CBS hybrid comedy pilot History of Them as the matriarch of a Latino family, before joining this year’s ABC romantic drama The Baker and the Beauty as another matriarch. Christina, who was a regular in CBS drama Training Day in spring 2017, has also moved to ABC, as the female lead in family drama United We Fall as a character with nine older siblings, who is a non-traditional mother to her children and “too cool” for her husband, played by Will Sasso.

Medical Mistrust

Compared to other ethnic groups in the United States, Latinas have the highest birth and fertility rates. Moreover, nearly half of all U.S. pregnancies in 2011 were unintended. Compared to White females, Latinas had disproportionally more unintended births. This ties into the factors in which Latinas feel mistrust within the field of medicine. Approximately one-half of Latinos in the United States reported having experienced discrimination or treated unfairly because of their race or ethnicity. These Latinas who reported higher levels of discrimination also reported greater condom use, a method that does not require a health care visit.

Oakley, Lisa P., Marie S. Harvey., and Daniel F. Lopez-Cevallos. 2018. “Racial and Ethnic Discrimination, Medical Mistrust, and Satisfaction with Birth Control Services among Young Adult Latinas.” Women’s Health Issues 28(4): 313-320.

Historic Six-Episode Series Coming Tuesday Nights Starting This March on ABC

ABC News announced today it will launch a groundbreaking primetime newscast, the first broadcast network newsmagazine that aims to put Black life in America front and center. The historic six-episode series, “Soul of a Nation,” will present viewers with a unique window into authentic realities of Black life and dive deeper into this critical moment of racial reckoning. Each episode will explore a specific theme including spirituality, Black joy, activism in sports and the racial reckoning that erupted after George Floyd’s death. Jemele Hill, Marsai Martin and others are among the stellar roster of special guest hosts for each episode with interviews and reporting by ABC News anchors and correspondents, including Adrienne Bankert, Linsey Davis, T.J. Holmes, Sunny Hostin, Janai Norman, Steve Osunsami, Byron Pitts, Deborah Roberts, David Scott and Pierre Thomas and ESPN’s Michael Wilbon. Additional guest hosts will be announced at a later date. “Soul of a Nation” comes to Tuesday nights starting this March on ABC. Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.

“We’re excited to expand enterprising Black storytelling and the celebration of Black culture beyond the month of February,” said co-executive producer Eric Johnson. “Viewers of all backgrounds, regardless of race, will be moved, educated and inspired by the broad range of stories and topics shared on this show.”

“Soul of a Nation” travels across the country, unpacking issues critical to Black Americans through intimate storytelling. Every episode will bridge the past, present and future through a variety of voices and experiences from athletes, entertainers, performers and screenwriters, including Carmelo Anthony, Nick Cannon, Deon Cole, Kim Coles, Tommy Davidson, Mo’Ne Davis, Danny Glover, David Alan Grier, Wood Harris, Janaya Future Khan, Renee Montgomery, Sylvia Obell, Jeneé Osterheldt, Chris Paul, John Ridley, Saweetie, Michael Yo, The Undefeated’s Domonique Foxworth, Soraya McDonald, Marc Spears and Justin Tinsley and ESPN’s Lisa Salters and Maria Taylor. Viewers will meet remarkable people like 95-year-old Lucille Burden Osborne, the great-granddaughter of Charles McGruder – her enslaved ancestor who was deployed to neighboring plantations as a breeder, but created a home for his many children after emancipation; get a behind-the-scenes look and day-in-the-life of some of TikTok’s most influential young Black content creators to understand the business behind their brands; and learn about Afrofuturism as a philosophy, aesthetic, genre and tool for social change. In each episode familiar faces - performers, activists, scholars and clergy – will gather for an entertaining and provocative conversation “in the kitchen” about current events. A special performance featuring some of the nation’s greatest musicians, such as Cynthia Erivo, or spoken word artists will close out each episode.

“It’s time,” co-executive producer Robe Imbriano added. “‘Soul of a Nation’ arrives as the country is eager for a show like this, and the mix of intimate and insightful storytelling with performance will bring some serious joy.”

The executive creative team also includes Chantre Camack, Executive Editorial Producer, and James Adolphus, series director.  Series creator Marie Nelson is Senior Vice President of Integrated Content Strategy at ABC News.

“ABC News is proud to partner with ABC Entertainment to host “Soul of a Nation,” a primetime convening place for diverse audiences to call home. It’s 2021 and the demands of this time call upon the media community to grant Black viewers more opportunities to see their lives reflected in all of its complexity and to present all of our audience access points to gain understanding,” said Nelson.

“Soul of a Nation” is the latest original programming from ABC News which has a renewed focus on telling diverse stories across the news division. Previous programming includes the #1-rated “Juneteenth: A Celebration of Overcoming,” three-day division-wide series “Pandemic – A Nation Divided” on the disparity in race and class amid the pandemic, “America in Pain: What Comes Next?” on the protests and outrage across the country in response to the killing of George Floyd and police brutality and systemic racism against Black Americans, the month-long reporting series “Turning Point” and pre-election special “America’s Future: The Power of the Latino Vote.”
