Interview with . . . Pippa Scott

The talented multi-genre singer Pippa Scott has taken the time to do an interview with us. We are a fan of her song, “Dance As If Nobody Knows.” Apologies for not being able to clear the room. What can a mother of teenagers do? We dance as if nobody knows. Right Pippa? Please check out the interview as well as the links listed below. Pippa Scott…

Are there any characters that you headcanon as lesbians?

I'm conducting a study on characters that are seen as lesbian and whether they have any linguistic similarities (i.e. the way they speak, communicate, body language etc). What examples do you have of characters that you have always seen as lesbians? Definitely Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter and Mrs Hardbroom from The Worst Witch for me, what about you?

So I recently rewatched Scott & Bailey (possibly an exercise partly in egotism - what sent me down the rabbit hole was a comment on my own fic that got me rereading what I’d written then rewatching the show) and I am always reminded of a few things. One is how affirming it is to have women’s stories centered in a narrative, not pitted against each other, not perfect but trying their best to support each other. Two is how goddam beautiful Amelia Bullmore and her cheekbones are, and three is how much Julie Dodson means to me as a character. I actually find it kind of difficult to put into words how much. Like, her queer energy is huge, and I love her bluntness and her care, but I think the thing that lives in my soul is so much about the physicality Pippa Haywood brings to her. We see her curl in on herself occasionally - being vulnerable in front of Gill, when being interrogated by Karen Zalinski’s incisive questions, so she is absolutely human and real, and I think that makes the way she is so brazen and confident with her physical presence hit that much more. The 3 inch heels up on Gill’s desk, the sliding into her blazer during a walk and talk (thank both god and Jesus for that one), the flinging doors open and ‘no, that’s me’. She is so absolutely unapologetic about the space she takes up, and quite aside from anything else, as a fellow tall woman (and a larger woman in general) that is such an aspirational goal that she has taken up residence in my soul and I channel her whenever I can.

[triviareads]

can you recommend for me a good historical romance with a heroine who is in STEM?

I read one good earl deserves a lover on your recommendation and I really liked Pippa. do you have other books with heroines like her?

Sure! Here they are:

In Want of a Viscount by Lorraine Heath (pub date 2/20/24): The heroine is a businesswoman and inventor who invented the typewriter (or a better version of it) and is very interested in engineering. The hero clocks this and even takes her out on dates to see Big Ben (no, not a euphemism but Stuff does happen up there) and to a club so she can disassemble a roulette wheel and I thought he was very hot for that.

Convergence of Desire by Felicity Niven: The heroine is so focused on proving Fermat's Theorem that she agrees to a marriage of convenience to a local rake so she can focus on math while he's allowed to fuck anyone he likes (he predictably can't get it up for anyone but her shortly after their marriage).

My Kind of Earl by Vivienne Lorret: The heroine accidentally incites a riot in a brothel and escapes by using one of her experiments, a beetroot bomb that makes everyone pink. She's generally an inquisitive, experimental sort from what I remember.

Knockout by Sarah MacLean: Another gal with a penchant for explosives, Imogen tinkers with explosives in her brother's basement, but don't worry it's for a good cause, namely her vigilante group, the Hell's Belles. Her expertise is also called upon to investigate a series of bombings.

When a Scot Ties a Knot by Tessa Dare: Maddie does animal illustrations for scientific books for naturalists and dreams of f illustrating multi-issue encyclopedias. A subplot in this books does involve lobsters fucking so Maddie can illustrate them accurately.

The Detective Duke by Scarlett Scott: I'm pretty sure the heroine in this one invented the first electric frying pan.

The Governess Game by Tessa Dare: The heroine goes around fixing clocks in aristocrats' houses before she accidentally becomes a governess for the slutty hero's new wards, and her one true passion is astronomy and looking for comets.

[persephoneprice]

ur song related posts have got me thinking some persephone thoughts!!! hope u dont mind me sharing the song that is so her to me!!

personally i associate the song "how to rest" by the crane wives w her, but more specifically post-tbosas pippa, whose very impacted by mizzen's untimely death. here are the more specific lyrics i associate w her!!

"those of us who vow never to love again / to love again / are making liars out of honest men / it's not something that you put to bed / hang your head and just forget / no, love don't know how to rest"

and

"here's the truest thing i've ever known / the heart is just a muscle with a rhythm all its own / it doesn't stop when you decide not to move on / the heart knows nothing of your love or your loss"

sorry for being annoying in ur ask box once again but ur the pippa blog and i would love to hear what u think of this song for her, and/or if there's any songs u personally associate w her!!

okay. so. multiple things.

first. nothing on earth makes me happier than when people send me THEIR persephone price thoughts. so thank you for this i would literally die for you.

second. bel literally you could send me 20 asks a day and i would cherish every single one because you have the best thoughts

third. oh my god, that song was so good. like, even separate from persephone i just really loved that. i listened to it on repeat on my way home. (feel free to suggest more songs by them if u have any 👀)

lastly. congratulations you are a Persephone Understander. this literally fits SO WELL.

i also think these lyrics fits well:

Darling, when you've tired / You will see / There is no safe place, no sanctuary

i’m going to put some songs that i associate with mizzen and persephone under the cut:

not strong enough - phoebe bridgers

Always an angel, never a god / I don't know why I am the way I am / There's something in the static, I think I've been having revelations / Comin' to, in the front seat, nearly empty / Skip the exit to our old street and go home

scott street - phoebe bridgers

Do you feel ashamed / When you hear my name?

i bet on losing dogs - mitski

I bet on losing dogs / I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place by the ring / Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down / I'll be there on their side

motion sickness - phoebe bridgers

I have emotional motion sickness / Somebody roll the windows down / There are no words in the English language / I could scream to drown you out

funeral - phoebe bridgers

Wishin' I was someone else, feelin' sorry for myself / When I remembered someone's kid is dead

HAILEE STEINFELD — Veja só se não é SIOBHAN DANIELLE MYERS caminhando pelas ruas de Foxburg! Por ter 25 anos, ela está bem conservada; deve ser por causa do vinho. Se não me engano, ela trabalha como JORNALISTA, e é a melhor na área. Que sorte tê-la como vizinho!

um talento inegável para se colocar em situações de perigo / uma estante com livros metodicamente organizados / a irritante sensação de que está esquecendo de alguma coisa / fones de ouvido sempre pendurados em seu pescoço / sonhos de uma vida emocionante em alguma cidade grande / a sede de conhecimento que lhe fez naturalmente curiosa / sentimentos que transparecem com facilidade em sua expressão / maratonas de filmes de terror de madrugada

Nascida em Pittsburgh, Siobhan não teve a chance de formar uma relação sólida com seus progenitores. Seu pai abandonou a família logo durante a gravidez da namorada, deixando para trás apenas histórias que não lhe colocavam em uma luz muito positiva. A mãe da garota costumava lhe fazer esperar com os professores até tarde no estacionamento da escola ou lhe deixar com um dos seus vizinhos. Quando Elena dirigiu as duas para a cidade de Foxburg e lhe deixou na porta da casa da mãe com uma mochila e uma carta, a garota imaginou que se tratava apenas de mais um fim de semana em que a mulher iria passar com o novo namorado, sem nem mesmo imaginar que aquela seria a última vez que lhe veria.

Aos poucos, Siobhan foi percebendo que a avó era uma pessoa rigorosa, ela tinha regras que deveriam ser seguidas dentro de casa. Mas ao contrário de Elena, a mulher era incrivelmente amorosa, pronta para lhe oferecer apoio ao mesmo tempo em que lhe ensinava uma lição. Shiv não era uma pessoa fácil, estava sempre se metendo em confusões no colégio, chegando em casa com um olho roxo porque brigou com um valentão no intervalo ou esquecendo de mandar uma mensagem para a avó quando ia dormir na casa de uma amiga. Apesar de estar sempre em apuros, a garota tinha um coração puro.

Depois de anos fazendo parte do jornal do colégio, não foi nenhuma surpresa quando ela decidiu entrar para a faculdade de jornalismo. Seu plano sempre tinha sido entrar para uma faculdade em uma cidade grande, talvez tentar a sorte na California, mas apesar de ter recebido uma resposta positiva da avó, não queria estar do outro lado do país se a mulher precisasse de algo, especialmente porque as duas sempre estiveram sozinhas. Então Siobhan deixou os seus sonhos para mais tarde e entrou na Slippery Rock University, arranjando um estágio no jornal de Foxburg que ela absolutamente odiava. As matérias eram bobas e ela queria um pouco mais de emoção.

A jovem continua sendo tão irresponsável quanto era na adolescência, fazendo de tudo para tornar as suas pautas mais interessantes, deixando um rastro de confusão que não lhe torna a pessoa mais fácil de se conviver. Ela fala demais, sua honestidade pode ser um sopro de vida em um mundo cheio de mentiras, mas também significa que ela nem sempre consegue ser sensível o suficiente para lidar com situações delicadas. Recentemnte, criou um podcast de true crime que se tornou a sua verdadeira paixão, e que também lhe garantiu uma audiência moderada. Ela imagina que nunca falará sobre Foxburg, afinal, o que poderia ser dito sobre uma cidade tão calma?

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒

LABEL: the icarian

ORIENTAÇÃO SEXUAL: lésbica

LIKES: flertes inocentes, desafiar o perigo, cochilos no meio da tarde, jeans rasgado, começar a decorar para o natal em outubro, chocolate quente, andar de bicicleta, colecionar vinis, gorros para esconder um penteado mal feito.

DISLIKES: ficar parada, não receber atenção, ouvir críticas, figuras de autoridade, silêncios constragedores, abacaxi na pizza, ser interrompida enquanto está falando, manter a calma, cores pastéis, trends do tiktok.

GOALS/DESIRES: deixar a sua marca no mundo

FEARS: mudanças, irrelevância

HOBBIES: ler livros de fantasia, jogar tênis, fotografar, aprender um novo idioma, fazer trilhas, jogar videogame, assistir a documentários, montar quebra-cabeças.

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

A Shiv pode ter escrito uma matéria sobre o estabelecimento de alguém que não deixou essa pessoa muito feliz, e por odiar as matérias que escreve para o jornal da cidade, ela não tem muito orgulho de ter feito isso, por isso, está sempre pedindo desculpas pelo que aconteceu, e gastando suas economias no lugar.

Alguém que seja um "parceiro de crime" da Shiv. Aquele tipo de pessoa que ouve as ideias horríveis dela e simplesmente pensa "brilhante"! A pior coisa que poderia ter acontecido pra cidade é o fato de terem se tornado amigos.

Um jornalista que também trabalhe no jornal da cidade ou de forma independente que se tornou uma forma de mentor pra Siobhan? Pode ser também um professor da época do colégio.

E um jornalista também que tenha se tornado um rival dela. Estão disputando por qualquer coisa, até mesmo fora do ambiente de trabalho.

Uma ex namorada, talvez da época do colégio? Pode ser que tenham terminado em bons termos ou de forma péssima.

Alguém com quem ela tenha uma relação de will they, won't they? As duas vivem flertando, e ninguém sabe se elas têm alguma coisa ou se estão apenas brincando. Talvez nem mesmo as duas saibam.

Uma pessoa que se tornou a sua amizade mais verdadeira, alguém que ao mesmo tempo é incentivado a se abrir mais pela natureza honesta dela, e que também lhe obriga a ser mais responsável.

Vou colocar mais coisas em breve.

Review: The Great British Bake Off Musical at Noel Coward Theatre, London ★★★★★

Every few years, the West End is blessed with a new, witty British musical that captures the hearts of its audiences. And in 2023, The Great British Bake Off Musical, written by Jake Brunger and Pippa Cleary, does just that. Following its predecessors like Calendar Girls and Made in Dagenham, this show packs all the right ingredients of the TV series while neatly blending a storyline in a musical the length of a Bake Off final.

In true Great British Bake Off style, the musical follows a range of eclectic, charming characters, led by hosts Kim (Zoe Birkett) and Jim (Scott Paige), who applied to be on the TV show for a variety of reasons. Cambridge student Izzy's (Grace Mouat) ulterior motive is to become a baking influencer and Beyonce's best friend — her number 'Obviously' sets a great tone for the sharp lyricism to come in the show.

But of course, once we’ve met the contestants, everyone awaits the grand entrance of the judges - Phil Hollinghurst (John Owen-Jones) and Pam Lee (Haydn Gwynne) who lovingly parody Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. Their on-stage chemistry, showcased in their duet 'I'd Never Be Me Without You', is one of the highlights of the show.

Despite its ensemble, Bake Off largely follows the unfolding love story between Gemma (Charlotte Wakefield), a carer from Blackpool who joins the show as a back-up contestant, and widower Ben (Damian Humbley), whose daughter Lily applies on his behalf. This moment is scored by the particularly beautiful 'My Dad', spotlights the writers ability to unite humour and heartbreak.

It's clear Brunger and Cleary have a great appreciation for musical theatre with each song seemingly pastiching a variety of musicals from classic to vaudeville to modern — notably composers like Kander and Ebb and Lin-Manuel Miranda. And no musical is ever complete without a good lament, and in Bake Off this came in the form of showstopping Bab's Lament, taken on by the fiery Claire Moore to rapturous applause.

While it felt the audience took a little time to warm up to Bake Off - perhaps, through its broader appeal, brought in those who don't usually opt for a musical - by the time each character and their eccentricities was established, the Noel Coward Theatre had a charming and wholesome atmosphere.

Bake Off has the power to stay fresh with topical tidbits (noting the current tomato shortage) and social media trends while managing to not feel like dad dancing. And if there was any doubt the quintessential Britishisms tightly knit to the fabric of this show would not translate, the Americans I had the pleasure of sitting next to were laughing louder than anyone!

The Great British Bake Off Musical is cooking up a storm in the West End until 13 May, with tickets direct from the box office here. It is now available on TodayTix's Rush.
