Just one more.

Through fire and storm, the stone and slate of Morley Cottage had been its salvation. Older and grander buildings had been fallen into ruin, but the unassuming house had stood through the decades, a safe haven for generations of St. Fleurs. It was where Andre had taken his first steps, nearly sixty years before. It was the site of his last conversation with his mother. Swaying slightly, Andre rose to his feet. The conversation fell away, puzzled silence settling over the room as seven expectant faces turned toward him. There were tears in Elise's eyes. He forced himself to look away.

author's note: so...this is it, the thing I've been building toward since the very beginning.

ANDRE | Excuse me...I'll uh, try to keep this brief. I think we all know I'm not much of a public speaker.

A thin ripple of laughter. Amidst the uncertainty, Andre could feel Freddy seeking his gaze, but he kept his eyes down. It was too much like looking in a mirror.

ANDRE | There's something I've been keeping from you. And...I'm sorry. Last week, I...I...I... [ choking ] I'm sorry, I can't--

The silence in that room was profound. No one dared speak, no one dared breathe. Only Elise was unaffected by the dreadful atmosphere; she was on her feet the moment tears began to roll down Andre's cheeks.

There was only one thing she could do for him now.

ELISE | There's no easy way to say this, so...I'll just say it. Last week, your father met with his oncologist for a routine screening. He got the results two days ago. The cancer is back. And this time, it's terminal.

I bought... (: I was originally going to buy the book "The Dead", but it wasn't available in the bookstore, so I bought the book "Dubliners". When I finish the book, I plan to read "Letters of James Joyce" or "The Dead".

We were robbed of a scene where Alden would be softly singing to a baby Adam.

I imagine he would have been a lot like Beth and would have sang modern songs instead of cryptic nursery rhymes.

It's so annoying that so many episodes in S9 and S10 revolved around people who cared for that baby, only for his last adoptive parent to be KO'd off screen. Then nobody even mentions Adam until the time jump in 11x24.

Finding Serenity AMIDST STARDUST

Celebrity Makeup Artist Mary Wiles

Beyond the dazzling world of celebrities and Fashion Weeks, British makeup maven Mary Wiles enjoys the quiet charm she's found in Sutton.

"I love how quiet and calm it is here despite being in NYC," she beams. "I also love the park at 57th by the water, and the new esplanade is stunning." It's been her serene spot since May 2019, finding a peaceful respite between the city's hustle and her whirlwind career. Mary's a regular at Tenz Coffee Shop on 1st. "They make the most amazing lavender flat white. It's the best in the city, or anywhere in fact," she gushes. "The carrot cake is also divine."

With over 25 years of experience in the makeup industry, Mary's professional journey spans across continents — from London to Paris and now in the heart of New York, for fashion week. "I work mainly with celebrities, so I will be working with clients going to the shows and sitting in the front row," she explains. From dazzling runway shows to rubbing shoulders with A-listers at star-studded movie premieres, her career reads like a glittering Hollywood script.

Celebrities like Naomi Watts, Sadie Sink, Demi Moore, and Diane Keaton pepper her client list, highlighting her remarkable journey in the world of glitz and glam."I love keeping it varied and working with all people of all walks of life," she exclaims, emphasizing her deep appreciation for diversity and individual stories. As much as Mary immerses herself in the world of beauty and high-profile events, her quest for balance and grounding is evident. "I try to be present and have a good balance," she reflects.

Her goals are simple: be present, remain content in her work, and find a good balance. Sipping lavender flat whites in Sutton and cherishing moments of tranquility amidst the city's chaos, Mary epitomizes grace and composure.

Remember… I try to be present and have a good balance. — Mary Wiles

5. A song you think most of your followers won’t have heard before?

"Yona" by Saloli, a local pianist/synth composer who recently released a concept album about a day in the life of a bear:

I like this song a lot, and Rue does too )

When historians wrote about the sixteen short years he spent on the throne, they would characterize it as a short preamble to Rosalind's reign. He would be remembered primarily as her father, his name a mere footnote in her biography. He could accept that.

ELISE | You have to speak with her. ANDRE | :/ ELISE | She’s your heir, she needs to know. ANDRE | Now? What about the boys? ELISE | Now, Andre. ANDRE | [ sighs ] You’re right… ANDRE | Do you remember the time we came here when you were little? ANDRE | You must have been…six or seven? ANDRE | We went for a walk, just the two of us, and ended up right here. ANDRE | It was the first time I told you that you would be queen someday. Do you remember what you said? He looks at her for a moment. Flash back to Rosalind, Age 7 or 8. ROSALIND | Yeah, Daddy. I already know. The present. ANDRE | And then you started telling me all about your big ideas. You were so excited. You said that when you were Queen, you were going to end world hunger and close the hole in the ozone layer. You were going to save the world. ANDRE | [ heavily ] Rosalind…what I’m trying to tel you is…it’s…I’m.. ROSALIND | Dad? Is something wrong? ANDRE | I’m not mad at you. ROSALIND | What? ANDRE | [ exasperated ] Life is too short, Roz. I’m not going to waste time being angry about your girlfriend or what some stupid reporter said in some stupid magazine. ANDRE | [ exhales ] ANDRE | Look…I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my time. ROSALIND | Dad— ANDRE | Let me finish! ANDRE | When you’re queen, you’re going to have to do things your own way. You have to be a leader. You can’t dither, you can’t sit on the fence…you have to be decisive. ANDRE | You can’t let fear hold you back. [ beat ] ROSALIND | I love her, Dad. I’m going to marry her. ANDRE | You feel that strongly about her? Despite everything? ROSALIND | She’s everything to me. ANDRE | [ he looks at her intently, searching her expression. She’s serious. ] Well…I’d say that you and Mary have waited long enough, haven’t you? ANDRE | You tell her to pick out a ring. And tell her to pick a good one. ROSALIND | Dad! ANDRE | It has to be good. Good enough for a queen…

There's so many comics. Reading Not Brand Echh got me curious about all of them, not just the superhero ones. I'm not reading many of them, but I am reading about them (which i realize is slightly different). But i feek like my hyperfixation hasn't drifted away from comics and superheroes yet, but it may have broadened to include comics more generally. I mean... there's only so many times you can see references to popeye, dick tracy, snoopy, etc before you start wanting to look up comics and learn about stuff. But on the plus side: I think Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Marie Severin, Tom Sutton and more deserve respect for making their humour comic parody every aspect of comics, not just their own stuff. It makes it way more fun (and more interesting too!).

These Moments from Episode 3!

It’s been such a long time since I’ve made one of these posts, but this episode of RHOSLC deserve some extra love and attention.

It’s so fun to have Mary Cosby back with this group of women. Angie Katsanevas told her to come sit eat lunch with them and Mary shut her down.

“Don’t talk to me like that. I don’t like it.”

And when she asked Whitney Rose what she was doing there early and bringing uninvited guests, Angie answered, and Mary dismissed her again!

“I wasn’t even talking to you.”

And I love how direct and unafraid Monica Garcia was when she saw how Angie was acting toward Meredith Marks on the trip.

While Angie was bitching about Monica in her room with Whitney and Lisa Barlow, Monica walked right in and confronted her directly.

She even said that she is calling her out on her bad behaviour was her acting like a friend. I like Monica!

When the women were sharing something the women didn’t know about each other, Monica was disappointed with the boring stories they were sharing.

She said that the senior citizens at her grandmother’s home had more interesting stories to tell than this bunch, and she decided to shock them with her own juicy, dirty secret.

If you’re owning your story no one can use it against you.

It reminded me of the dinner where Sutton Stracke told Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave that she was boring!

But Angie continued to throw jabs and insulting Meredith the entire night. Eventually Meredith had had enough of her nonsense and boy did she react!

“YOU! CAN! LEAVE!”

She mistook a waiter for one of their security guards and told them to throw Angie out! That poor waiter said “I’ll see what I can do…”

Heather Gay was having so much fun at the dinner, probably losing count on how many espresso martinis she had had.

Meredith stormed off with Lisa, had a big cry on her shoulder, but when Lisa tried to explain it from Angie’s point of view, she lost it again.

“No, if I would go for the jugular and talk about the shit – the rumours, the nastiness about her – oh, I can do that. You know what? You want me to go there with her husband? I can go there. Don’t fuck with me. Tell her to fuck off!”

And with RHOSLC there’s always a van ride. This wasn’t necessarily the van ride from hell, but it was definitely chaotic.

Meredith was crying on Monica’s shoulder. Whitney accused Meredith of using “irrelevant situations” against the women. Mary confronted Whitney about what she said about her at the reunion she refused to show up for.

Meanwhile, Heather’s happy fog with the espresso martinis has started to sour and she was trying not to vomit.

Chaotic. Their ridiculous outfits! Utter nonsense. And Real Housewives gold.
