While the City Sleeps (1956)

“While the City Sleeps is a cinematic dogfight wherein it doesn’t matter who prevails.  What matters, and what’s compelling, is how its characters differ in their methods of getting to the top of the food chain.”

Glow Season 3 Review: Part 3

Sam Sylvia and Justine Biagi: Sam and Justine’s relationship is a lot like Ruth and Debbie’s, except way way less dysfunctional. Sam never truly had a big break as a director, and while he may have enough creative juice to create a late-blooming hit, he has burned too many bridges throughout his life to be trusted to manage the reins on his own. Justine, however, is a young and overnight success. Like Ruth will likely never escape Debbie’s shadow, Sam is now doomed to be in his daughter’s shadow. However, Justine is far more supportive of her father than Debbie is of Ruth, and Sam can find creative satisfaction playing second fiddle to Justine. Also, the age gap benefits Justine and Sam as opposed to Debbie and Ruth being peers. Justine can learn from Sam’s mistakes, whereas Debbie and Ruth are messing up simultaneously.

With Sam’s heart attack scare this season, I think that there is a good chance that Sam will die in a fourth season. Sam’s arc in that case would be finding happiness in his twilight years and making sure his daughter is better prepared than him. Justine’s journey would be from relying on her father to going out on her own as an artist.

Sam and Ruth’s relationship: Sam is a good partner for Ruth. He is not a Mantm, who will underestimate her and not support enough, in fact a key part of Sam and Ruth’s dynamic is that they innately understand each other and push each other to be better. Problems Sam and Ruth have though is that I feel that Sam is always going to put Justine first (as he should), the baggage of either one growing teeth and biting them in the butt, or if Sam dies before they can get their act together.

Sheila: I am so proud of her. I always admired her for being so true to herself, but I am glad that she learned that she will always have the spirit of a world and doesn’t need external expression. She is going to take the acting world by storm with her talent. Although, I don’t think she will have a lot of range, at least not as much as Ruth. The roles we see her pursue in season 3 all appeal to her wolfish nature, even Liza Minelli. Ironically, the roles that she would be best at are the ones Ruth would struggle with. Sheila is kind of like Katherine Hepburn, she plays herself but that doesn’t make it any less amazing.

Rhonda Richardson and Sebastian "Bash" Howard: I didn’t really care about Rhonda until this season. I did like the reveal in season one that she wasn’t sleeping with Sam to get ahead, but because she thought he might be worth pursuing a relationship with. That continued this season. Almost any other show, Rhonda would likely have been a stereotypical trophy wife. I was very pleasantly surprised by Rhonda was Bash’s perfect match in every way except orientation. She is satisfied with herself and her station in life, so she would never push Bash the way Debbie does. At the same time, the fact that she understands the value of money far better than Bash (on account of her low class background) means that he is dependent on her in a way that Tex wasn’t dependent on Debbie (Tex is a savvy business man on his own, so although he would likely benefit from accepting Debbie’s help, he doesn’t because he doesn’t need to). The only reason Bash Productions is successful is because of the practicality of Debbie and Rhonda, but Rhonda doesn’t resent not having her name on the sign. Alas, that pesky orientation incompatibility. Getting Bash to accept his sexuality is going to be very hard. It is not just the societal pressure (Bash has always been the black sheep of his conservative family, anyway), this is the height of the AIDs scare and an early and painful death is an all too likely possibility. Rhonda is going to realize that ignoring it is unsustainable though. I can see her (and possibly Bobby?) helping Bash comes to terms with it, after which they either have an amicable divorce or an open marriage. I’m 50/50 whether or not they have kids. It depends on whether Rhonda thinks having kids could “fix” Bash, whether she shares the same reluctance to get pregnant other characters have generally had on this show, and whether she is willing to have the same/similar arrangement Bobby has with his baby mama.

Carmen Wade: I think, even if Debbie had managed to tell Carmen that she is producing a new wrestling show, she would still have left. She was feeling stifled like Ruth. And I don’t think Debbie’s show would necessarily need Carmen, Cherry could take over or someone else could be hired. I hope Carmen becomes a big name in wresting that hipster wrestling fans (is that a thing? Are there wrestling fans that turn their nose up at televised wrestling?) fawn over. Also I appreciate this season having a shout out to Carmen’s crush on Bash in season 1(RIP early ship). I liked the friendship moment between Carmen and Rhonda on the camping trip. I’m disappointed that there was nothing more about Carmen and Bash’s friendship after she called him out for neglecting it. I could see Carmen’s friendship with Bash and Rhonda evolving into one of those adult friendships where you care deeply about each other, but don’t see each other for long stretches and it’s fine. Another disappointment with Carmen’s story is that they call out other characters for seeing her as sexless, but then never actually show her on a date. Season 4 better have a Carmen makeout scene.

Black Music Month: Artists and Albums that Matter to Me

June is #BlackMusicMonth, an annual celebration of African Americans’ innumerable contributions to the American–and global–musical landscape. Each day this month, I’m highlighting some of my favorite artists and albums.

Day 27

Give the Drummer Some

Yesterday’s #BlackMusicMonth installment paid tribute to (an in no way exhaustive list of) Black women bassists. Today we’re turning our attention to some supabad sistahs who are nice on the kit. Just as female bass players are not necessarily an anomaly, female drummers are also not entirely uncommon. Still, like the bass, the drums tend to be more generally associated with male musicians. These women on the skins bring a passion and ferocity that leaves audiences awestruck. 

Sheila E.

Oakland-raised Sheila Escovedo needs no introduction. Her resumé and longevity in the music business speak for themselves, as does her distinctive signature sound. Pulling from her musical family’s Latin jazz roots, the artist who would come to be known as Sheila E. began her musical journey at the age of 3, when she began mimicking her father’s (legendary Latin jazz percussionist Pete Escovedo) playing. By 5, Sheila had played her first gig, and was quickly developing her skills and technique on drums and percussion. By her teens, Sheila was working professionally not only with her dad, but would go on to share the stage with George Duke, Marvin Gaye, and of course, Prince. With Prince, Sheila recorded her first solo album, The Glamorous Life. She became Prince’s musical director, in charge of his Sign O’ the Times and Lovesexy tours. Post-Prince, Sheila continued to blaze trails as a performer, composer, recording artist, and band leader. Her latest album, Iconic: Message 4 America, is a collection of covers of soulful protest songs from the 1960s and ‘70s, including Sly and the Family Stone’s “Everyday People” and The Staple Singers’ “Respect Yourself.” The album also includes Sheila’s version of Prince’s “America.”

Maria “Poni” Silver

As a founding member of and drummer for the rock band The Ettes, Maria “Poni” Silver set stages aflame during the band’s high-energy live performances. The band, which formed in the early 2000s, includes Silver along with Lindsay “Coco” Hames and Jeremy “Jem” Cohen. The Ettes toured with acts such as the Go-Go’s, Kings of Leon, and The Black Keys, and released a string of full-length albums and EPs throughout the mid-’00s into the early ‘10s. Now based in Nashville, the Dominican-American Silver pivoted from life on the road to fashion, launching her line, Black by Maria Silver, in 2013. 

Cora Coleman-Dunham

Houston native Cora Coleman-Dunham, aka Queen Cora, has blessed the stage with Prince (along with her husband, bassist Josh Dunham), Beyoncé, and jazz greats like Yusef Lateef. She began playing percussion in her early teens and then transitioned to drums, honing her craft at Houston’s Kashmere High School. From there, the queen made her way to Howard University, where she studied with former Quincy Jones collaborator Grady Tate. Her years at Howard also included performances with the Washington Symphony and the Washington Ballet. Coleman-Dunham went on to slay Guitar Center’s Drum Off competition in 2003, and the following year joined Prince’s band as his full-time drummer. She’s continued to rock the house with Frank McComb, Goapele, and Ledisi, among countless others, and is the house drummer for BET’s annual Black Girls Rock! celebration. She’s also launched her sustainable construction company in Houston, Building Simple. 

Cindy Blackman Santana

A master of jazz, rock, funk, and Latin rhythms, drummer Cindy Blackman Santana got her start busking on the streets of New York City. She released her first projects in the 1980s with her band, the Cindy Blackman Quartet, setting the stage for her signature fusion of jazz and rock. Known for her kinetic live performances and sultry cool, Blackman Santana has put in serious time with legends like Hugh Masakela, Pharoah Sanders, Cassandra Wilson, and Angela Bofill, but is probably best known as longtime drummer for Lenny Kravtiz, with whom she recorded and toured for 15 years. She’s also leader of her own band, Another Lifetime, whose 2010 album of the same name is a nod to her friend and mentor Tony Williams.  In 2010, Blackman Santana took up the kit for Carlos Santana, whom she’d met years before while out on the road with Lenny. Shortly after she became his drummer, Santana asked her to be his wife, and proposed on stage during a show. Blackman Santana continues to tour and record with Santana, whose long-running Las Vegas residency picks up again in the fall. She’s also recently released a single, “Fun Party Splash.”    

A special shout out goes to my friend, Danielle “Pockett” Brown, with whom I had the pleasure of performing and recording for more than a decade in Dallas. She’s the one who keeps in funky on my album, Nuda Veritas.

Top 5 Books Change your life

1. Something i Never told You

When in love, you tend to take each other for granted, and sometimes, that can cost you a lifetime of togetherness . . . Ronnie knew that his first crush was way out of his league, and yet he pursued and wooed Adira. Shyly and from a distance in the beginning, and more persuasively later. He couldn't believe it when the beautiful Adira actually began to reciprocate, falling in love with him for his simplicity and honesty.

Slowly, as they get close and comfortable with each other, life takes on another hue. From truly magical it becomes routine. There are fights and then making-up sessions-a clash of egos and doubts.

Things begin to change for the worst.

It is too late. Ronnie and Adira will probably never find their forever after

2. The Art Of Happiness

In this unique and important book, one of the world's great spiritual leaders offers his practical wisdom and advice on how we can overcome everyday human problems and achieve lasting happiness.

The Art of Happiness is a highly accessible guide for a western audience, combining the Dalai Lama's eastern spiritual tradition with Dr Howard C. Cutler's western perspective. Covering all key areas of human experience, they apply the principles of Tibetan Buddhism to everyday problems and reveal how one can find balance and complete spiritual and mental freedom.

For the many who wish to understand more about the Dalai Lama's approach to living, there has never been a book which brings his beliefs so vividly into the real world.

3. When Breath Becomes Air’ by Paul Kalanithi

At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live.

When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity – the brain – and finally into a patient and a new father.

What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when when life is catastrophically interrupted? What does it mean to have a child as your own life fades away?

Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book, yet his words live on as a guide to us all. When Breath Becomes Air is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both.

4. Quiet’ by Susan Cain

The Power of Silence

'Quiet: The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking' by Susa Cain is a Kick-starter of the quiet revolution and talks about all successful introverts. In today’s world where everyone has a lot to say, silence is quintessential and that is exactly what this book wants to convey. The power of silence is always underestimated but the writer has given some very useful and substantial insights about why it is so important. It also talks about some highly inspirational motivators in the world who were introverts like Dale Carnegie and Tony Robbins.

Critically Acclaimed

This book has been critically acclaimed by some of the most important critics. The Sunday Times has called it a timely book with a fresh and important theory whereas The Times has stated that the book is a small voice that punches above its weight. The Guardian has also praised this book by Susan Cain for its ability to affect people for the greater good.

A Strong Advocate of Introverts

The book discusses the history of introverts and extroverts and underlines the fact that the cultures that have given more importance to listening than speaking have flourished better.

5. The Secret

Regarded as a life-changing read by many readers, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is a self-help book that embarks to motivate the reader about a universal paradigm about success that can be achieved though it remains hidden for most people. The book explores about unveiling this little secret which may transform how people look at things and lead them on to the road of success and true happiness.

According to the author, the book makes proper use of the 'law of attraction’ and shows how positive thinking can open treasure trove of bountiful happiness, health and wealth. The book posits the law of attraction as a primeval law that completes the law of the universe (as well of our lives) through the process 'like attracts like’. The author is also of the view that as people think-and-feel, so do they send a corresponding frequency to the universe that in turn attracts events and circumstances of the same frequency. Hence, if one is always able to think positive and think right, naturally, one will obtain the best results always. In all this argument however, there is no scientific basis for the views expressed as to how such 'attraction' affect the biological and physical processes of the body.

In propounding these provocative views, the book highlights visualization and gratitude as the two major powerful processes that help people manifest their dreams and desires. Although hailed by many as the secret to good life and better living, the book has also attracted some serious criticism, with many claiming it to be a 'highly controversial’ book.

Despite the controversy, in 2006 a film by the same name as the book was released. The Secret has sold over 19 million copies in less than a year’s span and has been translated into 46 languages. And, even after a decade of its first publication, it is still regarded as a path-breaking work in the field of inspirational writings.

Pink Power Rankings (Pt. 2)

This is our next segment of “Pink Power Rankings”, I hope to do a few more in the future, including ones centered on the American Girl dolls and the Disney Princesses. The video above is the famous “Think Pink!” musical number from Funny Girl, so without further ado, time to rank these pink moments!

The Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling

This is a show where wrestlers do their thing on a ring bordered by pink ropes, so of course pink is going to come up....a lot. Even when it comes to donuts and abortion ( “I like pink things” “Well if you liked pink things less, you wouldn’t be in this situation”). The show centers on a team of diverse women wrestlers and their manager (Sam Sylvia, played by a hilarious Marc Maron) and producer (closeted Bash Howard, played by the appropriately 80′s Ken lookalike Chris Lowell): struggling actress Ruth (by a charming Alison Brie),  former soap opera star and housewife turned wrestler and co-producer Debbie (the talented Betty Gilpin), stuntwoman and coach Cherry (a beautiful turn by Sydelle Noel) and her stunt-double husband Keith (utterly likable Bashir Salahuddin), daughter and sister of wrestlers Carmen (a winsome Britney Young), cheerful Brit Rhonda (the multi-faceted Kate Nash), wolfgirl Sheila (a dry Gayle Rankin), the humorous single mom Tammé (former wrestler Kia Stevens showing off brilliant emotional chops), the outrageous religious Jew Melrose (Fran Drescher lookalike Jackie Tohn), hairdressing kayfabe duo Stacy & Dawn (Kimmy Gatewood and Rebekka Johnson), Indian American bisexual med student Arthie (Sunita Mani a.k.a. the Turn Down For What girl), Olympian and taciturn Reggie (an athletic Marianna Palka), Valley Girl seamstress and former refugee Jenny (the eye-catching Ellen Wong), and the extroverted stripper and breakdancer lesbian Yolanda (a triple-threat Shakira Barerra). 

In the Season 2 finale of the show (and as a bid to keep the undocumented Rhonda in the United States) they stage a wedding ceremony for Rhonda where the rest of the wrestlers are wearing pink and gold leotards with ruffled sleeves (how 80s is that), which they integrate into their Vegas show in Season 3. In the first episode of the season, several things go wrong: Debbie and Ruth (in their wrestling roles Liberty Belle and the Soviet Zoya the Destroyer) comment in the local news on the Challenger spaceship launch where the rocket explodes in the air while Ruth is absorbed in her role as the heel, a fire alarm goes off at the casino during dress rehearsal which Jenny blames on her lighting incense to cleanse the atmosphere for the show (turns out to be false to distract from the doldrums of the tragedy), and the girls play on the tables and later have a successful show. A huge up in a show about the ups and downs of show business. 

Power Ranking: 8. 

The Plastics

“On Wednesdays we wear pink.”

One of the many rules to abide by if you are in North Shore High’s exclusive popular clique, The Plastics. Cady has been homeschooled abroad since she was a child and is transplanted to a surburban high school where it looks like dealing with social dynamics is going to be a lot tougher than knowing what to do if you encounter a lion out in the wilderness. Led by the ruthless and manipulative Regina George, the clique is formed up of girls who are the most privileged and prettiest in the high school (and when you look at it Regina is co-opting the power that comes with being the daughter of the founder of Toaster Strudel or being really pretty) and they keep a Burn Book of all their girl classmates (and one gay guy) where they write insulting things about them. They are quick to punish by calling your mom on the phone and telling her you got some urgent results from Planned Parenthood or by laying claim to your ex-boyfriend. But the leader Regina is a unhappy girl whose mother is more interested in pleasing her than nurturing her and she feels she cannot apply herself to intellectual activities because it’s “uncool” and that she has to be underweight to be the pinnacle of beauty, she belittles the self-worth of her most loyal friends for their intelligence or their popularity and views Cady as competition. Also as Regina learns, the student body is actually afraid of her and they are willing to laugh at her when given the chance. 

Power Ranking: 4.

Andie Walsh

I would be remiss not to include the main character of the film titled: Pretty In Pink. Our character is very smart, going places, hard-working, and a fashionista with her signature color (despite the hideous prom dress) and she has been disappointed in love by her richie boyfriend (and being hit on by his sleazebag friend and her childhood friend) and despite the prom look here, she has killer fashion sense. It’s a shame she cut up her maternal figure of a friend’s old 60s (cute) prom dress and another party dress to create this monstrosity. 

But she hits this prom to prove to the rich snobs at her school that they haven’t hurt her. And that is power.

Power Ranking: 9.5 (0.5 taken off for hideous prom dress!)

The Pink Ladies

The ultimate Pink clad clique, their pledge is to act cool and to be cool, til death do them part they think pink! They are the all female counterparts to the male T-Birds (the Burger Palace Boys in the original, edgier, musical) and they are interested in subverting the 1950s script for young women...to an extent, to be fair they don’t have a language for subverting respectability but it’s clear often they are mostly dates for the T-Birds. The girls actually do things that were considered shocking for mature women in 1959: they make out and have sex, it’s implied Rizzo gets an abortion (or it was a false positive), they wear pants and shorts, they indulge in the same vices as the boys, they have (gender-appropriate) ambition, multiple romantic partners, talk back to any boys bugging them or remarking on them, pierce their ears (no really women mostly had clip on earrings back then), and they wear clothes for comfort and even clothes that showcase their sex appeal. 

But one of them gives Sandy the now problematic behavior, it would have been more subversive if Sandy was encouraged to forget about Danny (which I think she did). But it was the late 1950s and it was hard for a female rebel. 

Power Ranking: 8.5. 

Taina Morales

The criminally underrated (and short-lived) sitcom Taina centers on a Nuyorican teenager and her family as she attends a performing arts high school as she works her way to becoming a singer and actress. Fushia, not plain pink, was Taina’s color and the color she picks for her Quincenera dress instead of the garish pastel pink ballgown her mother wants her to wear (as tradition). The episode covers the conflict regarding young Latinas and the pull between what mainstream American culture demands (consumerism and individualism by any means necessary) and the culture of their family’s homeland (which is more collective and built on hierarchy and just as shitty for women as individualist “Me first” culture). I want to say this to my non-Latina and non-Latinix readers: me and my sisters are dealing with a lot, we have demands from relatives who only see our age and youth and not the capable people we already are who have us flipping tortillas at 5 or watching younger siblings after school instead of a after-school job or extracurriculars or even hang out with friends and a mainstream culture that demands we all assimilate and be “real Americans”, try to be understanding and supportive.

It’s difficult but you have to set boundaries and assert your vision....lest you be a horror story from Say Yes to the Dress (Atlanta and Bridesmaids). 

Power Ranking: 10 (some folks have no idea). 

Deb Bradshaw

This is Deb Bradshaw, a resident of Idaho where fashion and tech-wise, everyone is stuck in the 1980s and 1990s and it was the mid-2000s. She sells handicrafts and takes glamour photos to raise funds for college and she hangs out with a couple of teenage boys who are quiet (Rico) or awkward (Napoleon) as she. Right now Napoleon’s sleazy Uncle Rico gives her a ad for breast enhancement supplements on the ruse that Napoleon recommended them for her. What does she do? Cry?

Nope. She calls Napoleon and tells him off for supposedly dissing her appearance, tells him she is content with her figure and he can take those supplements himself. In a time that was pushing girls to be sexy and hot and fun and extroverted to impress guys and where fashion was designed to show off impossibly slim, toned, and busty figures with long legs, it was something special. 

Power Ranking: 9.8

Little Jordan Sanders

Once up on a time (the early 1990s) there was a nerdy little girl who felt she wowed her fickle classmates and then a mean girl pulled a prank on her that landed her in to the hospital, from there she vowed she will do the bullying before anyone else bullies her.

So she becomes a nightmare boss whose employees can’t stand her (to the point where they are listening to relaxation tapes saying “So you want to slap your boss”) and she forbids carbs in her workplace as she doesn’t eat them. She gets confronted by a little girl with a magic wand who puts a spell on her that doesn’t seem to take but then Jordan wakes up in her preteen body again and has to attend middle school all over again where she gets bullied. 

So what does Jordan do? She arms herself with a huge Birkin bag and a pink power suit with a white plaid pattern and makes her way to school and manages to corrupt her new tween friends with her cynical world view. But at some point she embraces her inner geek girl and wakes up an adult woman again.

Power Ranking: 7, it’s a front but a fabulous front. 

Midge Maisel

This is the night that Midge would have been made for life....and the night where she burns a bridge with a friend and puts her’s and her manager Susie’s future in jeopardy. 

So after starting a career in stand up after her husband leaves her for his mediocre secretary, Midge gets to perform stand up at the famous Apollo theater before pop singer Shy Baldwin’s concert (part of his cross-country tour), this is the community he grew up in and where the local middle-aged mothers bake him goodies so he’d be persuaded to date their daughters. But Midge, a privileged Jewish American woman, is a fish out of water amongst the mostly African American audience and performers. 

So she starts to make jokes about Shy’s stage persona and hints at him being a closeted gay man which all bring down the house and impress the audience (and keep the Wop Wop Man at bay)....but then Shy’s manager reveals they have kicked her out from the tour for what she has done. For once the fabulous but thoughtless Midge has faced the consequences of her actions. 

Power Ranking: 10, she made an impact alright.

Meg Griffin

By far more the least empowered woman on this list or the list before (even more than Barb who got killed by a monster), Meg Griffin started Family Guy as a ordinary teenage girl who wasn’t popular at school but was assured of love from her then-loving, but dysfunctional and nutty family. Then after a brief cancellation and protests brought the show back, the show and even her family (along with the whole community) started bashing her and calling her “ugly” or dissing her for her weight to the point where the show was being (rightfully) accused of misogyny. Meg so far has had her father fart in her face, her mother try to seduce her boyfriend and leave her pills to potentially OD on, her obese brother gets popular and doesn’t invite her to his party because she doesn’t fit a narrow “boob to butt ratio” (seems like Family Guy hates body fat on women unless it’s on their boobs), her baby brother loves to feed off her tears and to her face told her to become bulimic, and her family dog tells her that God doesn’t exist because she has a shitty family (complete with a Mom he lusts after) and she has “a flat chest and a fat ass”.

 Also this “pink condom hat” wearing teen is dished crap by the writers because they claim not to have knowledge of writing teenage girls, gee what could be an improvement on that problem?

Is it any wonder that this girl may have violent episodes?

Power Ranking: 1 (most of the time). 

Quinn Morgendorffer

From day one pink has been a color that Quinn wore and while she updated her late 90s baby tee look with deeper colors and modest cuts, pink has remained a primary color. Actually pink has been her preferred color since childhood, her color for school dances, for camping trips, what she wears as a Mommy/Beauty vlogger, the color for the background Jane uses for her abstract portrait of Quinn, 

Quinn’s motivation is to be the most attractive and popular girl around, likely stemming from her father’s trait of needing people to pay attention to him, and coincidentally pink is what helps her fit in with her parents and helps her stand out from the Fashion Club, and it helps her align with the late 1990s standard of beauty and femininity (also somewhat aided by her grandmother) that prizes long, shiny, bouncy hair and a teeny weeny nose with microscopic pores, and a fat free (except for the boobs) body over intelligence and substance. This serves to set her apart from her sister Daria, who decides to go against the role. Which is sad because Quinn is very witty and savvy with a gift for fashion analysis and the sisters show a propensity for getting along much better than their mother did with her sisters. 

Later in the series, she starts maturing and leans more into her intellectual gifts, thus her jeans and shirt get deeper in color and flaunt her slender mid-section less (they still show the outline of her silhouette). She starts pulling away from her shallow clique and deals with a new friend with alcoholism (not much of a resolution at the end), thankfully somewhat like her sister, she can provide kinship over (cheeseless) pizza and diet soda.

Power Ranking: 10, Family Guy writers take notes. 

Daria Morgendorffer

Pink is the color of mortification for Daria. She is the only member of her family to not have a pinkish or reddish tone in her coloring (unless you count her traditional orange shirt under her green blazer and black skirt, something that calls to her mother’s power suit) and femininity seems forced on her. In fact the only time pink was used as a power move was when she used it to convince her sister to stop being a pseudo-intellectual by dressing up like her. 

In this image from the tie-in book The Daria Diaries, we see that a younger Daria is dressed up in a high-necked and puff-sleeved nightmare of a pin dress that looks so infantile, that likely Helen forced on her (Quinn would never pick that, no matter how mad Quinn is she would never make someone wear something if she didn’t think it was flattering), and while her mother and sister are in yellow-toned frills that closely matched their tastes, Daria stands apart glum and wishing someone would save her from this fashion emergency.

Power Ranking: 4, just loose the collar at least?

Glinda the Good Witch of the North

The Good (but slightly bitchy) Witch of the North is the representative for how powerful pink can be in 1939 (or rather any time because Oz operates outside our world). She is the guardian (was she battling the Wicked Witches of the East and West for supremacy while the Munchkins were terrorized? Gosh a lot of WWII allegories here) of Oz played by the closeted Bisexual and hilarious Billie Burke, she is good but not above encouraging munchkins to sing about how happy they are that the wicked witch is dead. While munchkins run around scared when the Wicket Witch of the West shows up to corner Dorothy and get the ruby slippers back, Glinda cooly plans on snatching the slippers and poofing them on Dorothy’s feet and drops shade on the Witch. 

But Glinda is one to remind the characters (and the audience) that they needed to discover the power within them to achieve their goals and come out the other end stronger, no one can make you believe that. 

Power Ranking: 10, this look is so iconic.

Kim McAfee

Truly an iconic pink look and not bad for a role where Ann-Margret makes her big break. The teenage Kim MacAfee, member of the Conrad Birdie fan club, gets pinned and is chosen to kiss Conrad during his farewell concert before he leaves for the army. Quite the glow up! But she has to deal with a jealous boyfriend who doesn’t want Conrad around (probably because he can’t make her scream and faint) and her feelings of “I don’t need him but I really want him with me”. This outfit was stunning and meant to convey a lot in 1963: it’s pants, it’s Schiaparelli Pink rather than a dainty pastel like she wears here, it shows off her figure, she sings about kissing men from Yale to Purdue while Conrad and her boyfriend Hugo sing about hot chicks and they all sing about having a lot of living to do. Of course Hugo leaves and she is distraught, up to the point where she kisses Conrad Birdie and Hugo sucker punches him in front of a live audience. She happily ends up with Hugo and wishes Birdie well, as opposed to when she is devastated over him heading to the army (is it no accident the sexists from Mad Men like the first version?).

Power Ranking: 9.5, truly iconic and the outfit to wear when you attempt to be a sexually liberated woman who doesn’t need a possessive man.

Caroline Brooks

Speaking of big breaks, this is the film where Esther Williams (the codifier for swimming musicals and synchronized swimming) makes her big break in a iconic career and it was quite an impressive entrance. And then starts a decade-long career of water ballet musicals and swimwear, the film isn’t remarkable for it’s plot (enjoyable rom-com) but for the impressive swimming sequences that show off Esther’s athletic skills (she was eligible for the 1940 Olympics). That is a way to make an impact with pink.

Power Ranking: 20.

Courtney Gripling

Who’s the girl in the pink capris?

It’s Courtney, it’s Courtney!

This song was sung two times in the show and it tells you a lot about the inner workings of a sweet but sheltered and often insensitive Middle School Queen (for measure, she sings this in a sparkly dress at a friend’s 13th birthday party, friend doesn’t mind though). Courtney would definitely be the kind of girl who’d wear white to a (Western) wedding. 

Pink (or peach or lavender or blue or cream) has been a signature color for Courney since the very beginning: it was the color of her pajamas, she told Ginger she looks really good in the color when she borrows sleepwear from the girl, she wore “Popular In Peach” nail polish for her exams the semester before, and she even wore the color of skirt and blouse she wore when she got bullied in high school and learned her family was losing their McMansion and their money (even her port-a-potty was pink with baroque gild). It highlights her delicate and privileged background, like lace or fine china, it will get spoiled.

So this girl, who got by with people being hired to do her homework and sung about herself at another person’s birthday party and had a talent show performance where she and her friends wore blonde wigs and matching costumes (with face masks of herself), the girl who was shocked to find out summer camps don’t have masseuses, the girl who wore platform sandals in the winter, or that Mom losing her platinum card is not the catastrophe she thinks it is.....suddenly finds her family in poverty after her father was caught doing white collar crime.

So sad, she was always better than Ivanka.

Power Ranking: 6.5, glorious look and character but not likely to be invited to anybody’s wedding in the future.

Cher Horowitz

It’s fitting the premier teen fashionista of Beverly Hills undergoes her enlightenment and makes up with her friend in a matching pink preppy ensemble. Cher Horowitz (despite clearly taking some lead from her BFF Dionne’s more sophisticated and colorful take on Bev Hills fashion) has been a trendsetter in-universe and at the time the film came out. 

Before the film came out, fashion was inspired by grunge or still stuck in the late 1980s or dominated by neon colors and power dressing and or mixing and matching, then the costume designer for the film (Mona May) decided on taking a twist on the preppy look, while keeping some sportiness and the colors of the time (even nodding to Beverly Hills 90210). May subtly updated looks that Sally Draper and Nancy Wheeler would have worn and for the rest of the decade teen girls were sporting mary janes, plaid, collars, floaty dresses, pastels, stripes, and knee socks. 

At the start of the film, Cher thinks she knows it all and she is the most popular girl in her school....she doesn’t really know it all (she’s Clueless).  She does aspire to be more and do more (and sometimes plagued by insecurity) and takes new grunge girl Tai under her wing and gives her a makeover that makes her look like a shorter, redhaired, and curvier clone of Cher herself until Tai gets swollen in the head and Cher realizes she loves her ex-stepbrother Josh. After an argument, a humbled Tai (in a style that combines the preppy femininity she learned in Beverly Hills and her skater geek inclinations that manages to hold well into the mid 2000s) makes up with her and they watch Tai’s love interest shred out. 

Here we see Cher in her feminine prep but the casual look and the prints help her empathize with the crowd on the grass. 

Power Ranking: 9.

Miss Piggy

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.

The ultimate diva in pink, with all her charms, cannot attract Kermit the Frog and the woman who assured at least one generation of girls that they don’t need to be slender princesses to be the leading lady. Before Elle Woods, Miss Piggy came in with blown out wings and curls and in pink outfits assured of her own place in show business and of her own beauty and especially during an era when society was learning (slowly) to accept other forms of female personality and challenging gender roles. She was a revolutionary clad in the style of women of the Golden Age of Hollywood and made a mark for more body inclusivity in entertainment and transcended the girly girl/tomboy dichotomy that had been around to enforce stereo-typically feminine behavior and set up women to compete against one another. 

Power Ranking: 10.

Blossom

Sugar. Spice. Everything Nice. Chemical X. These are the things that created a trio of super-powered kindergartners, the leader wearing a large red bow over her long red locks and has a pink dress (and improbably large pink-colored eyes). These girls had to save their city from monsters and evil villains while attending Kindergarten and making time for their playroom. Blossom was Miss Perfect personified: cute, long pretty hair, perfect grades, ladylike behavior, intellectual, emotionally mature (she acted more 10 years old rather than her actual age of being born in a 5 year old’s body); but being Miss Perfect can make you blind to the resentment of others (she is rather bossy) and being liked and holding that as the standard could let you get run over. It’s fortunate that Blossom is learning how to advocate for herself and break the rules to save the day (like beating up evil senior citizens) now rather than at 14, 17, 24, 32.....

Power Ranking: 11. 

Renee Bennett

Renee Bennett (as played by Amy Schumer) is insecure about living in a world that seems to stop for women fitting a narrow standard of beauty, which doesn’t concern her as far as she’s concerned. Now Renee wears pink a few times in the film, highlighting her femininity and desire to be universally beautiful. She happens to make a wish to be beautiful during a rainstorm and the next day, she goes to Soul Cycle where she falls off a bike, hair gets caught in the bike and she hits her head and wakes up seeing a different person in the mirror. 

Now she walks around the world as if she was confident in being one of the most beautiful women in the room, if not the world. Suddenly her clothes show more skin, they are more twee (the bright colors and pastels), she’s taking huge fashion risks, and participating in bikini contests. Of course every film high hits a low where the protagonist’s ego is swollen, her friends feel alienated and later she bonks her head and believes she is back in her old body and no one has seen how “hideous” she is. Later she finds the confidence to “come out” as she is (as far as others are concerned, she hasn’t changed her looks too much). 

Power Ranking: 7.5

 Agnes Brock, 100

Agnes Craven Brock, at the blessed age of 100, went home to her Lord and Savior on December 6, 2017, at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Rosalind and Bob Reilly, in Powhatan, Virginia. She is survived by Rosalind, her sister, Edith Earp Mathis, her grandchildren, James, Ariana, and David, and three great grandchildren, Sam, Miles, and Jeff.

               The daughter of Sam and Myrtle Craven, Agnes grew up with 12 brothers and sisters by the Reddies River Pump Station run by her father. She was married to Mack Brock in 1942 and enjoyed 72 years of marriage with him until his death in 2015. They met during wartime at the Wilkes Hosiery Mill, and as newlyweds lived near various naval bases, from Newport, RI, to Gulfport, MI, where Mack was stationed and where Agnes put her typing and clerical skills to work in government offices.

               Later in their rock home on the Brocktown Rd., Agnes became a homemaker and the devoted mother of two daughters, Maxine and Rosalind. She enjoyed sewing dresses, cooking, gardening, and volunteering for the Red Cross Bloodmobile. She took satisfaction in her basement larder of canned goods, from half-gallons of tomato juice made from volunteer "tommy-toes," to pints of blackberry jam and pickles, and quarts of canned green beans from the garden. As the work-at-home secretarial assistant for Brock and Triplett Machine Shop, she once again put her typing skills to good use.

               An active member of Walnut Grove Baptist Church, Agnes taught the adult ladies' Sunday School class for almost 40 years. She sang in the choir, taught Vacation Bible School, and faithfully cooked unleavened bread for decades of communion services.

               Agnes will be remembered by her grandchildren as a never-ending source of original stories and games. Always singing in the car, rocking chair, and while doing chores, she taught the family hundreds of songs as well as poems she had memorized and stories she had heard while a girl.

               As her horizons narrowed in her last years, Agnes took great pleasure in looking out the window to enjoy "yet another beautiful day" from inside. A flowering shrub, one gracefully shaped oak leaf, a hummingbird at the nectar feeder-these simple delights never failed to draw her astonished praise of a Creator who loves us enough to fill the world with beauty for us to enjoy. In sorrow and joy, we celebrate her beautiful life, another gift from His hand.

1. Something i Never told You

When in love, you tend to take each other for granted, and sometimes, that can cost you a lifetime of togetherness . . . Ronnie knew that his first crush was way out of his league, and yet he pursued and wooed Adira. Shyly and from a distance in the beginning, and more persuasively later. He couldn't believe it when the beautiful Adira actually began to reciprocate, falling in love with him for his simplicity and honesty.

Slowly, as they get close and comfortable with each other, life takes on another hue. From truly magical it becomes routine. There are fights and then making-up sessions-a clash of egos and doubts.

Things begin to change for the worst.

It is too late. Ronnie and Adira will probably never find their forever after

2. The Art Of Happiness

In this unique and important book, one of the world's great spiritual leaders offers his practical wisdom and advice on how we can overcome everyday human problems and achieve lasting happiness.

The Art of Happiness is a highly accessible guide for a western audience, combining the Dalai Lama's eastern spiritual tradition with Dr Howard C. Cutler's western perspective. Covering all key areas of human experience, they apply the principles of Tibetan Buddhism to everyday problems and reveal how one can find balance and complete spiritual and mental freedom.

For the many who wish to understand more about the Dalai Lama's approach to living, there has never been a book which brings his beliefs so vividly into the real world.

3. When Breath Becomes Air’ by Paul Kalanithi

At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live.

When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity – the brain – and finally into a patient and a new father.

What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when when life is catastrophically interrupted? What does it mean to have a child as your own life fades away?

Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book, yet his words live on as a guide to us all. When Breath Becomes Air is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both.

4. Quiet’ by Susan Cain

The Power of Silence

'Quiet: The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking' by Susa Cain is a Kick-starter of the quiet revolution and talks about all successful introverts. In today’s world where everyone has a lot to say, silence is quintessential and that is exactly what this book wants to convey. The power of silence is always underestimated but the writer has given some very useful and substantial insights about why it is so important. It also talks about some highly inspirational motivators in the world who were introverts like Dale Carnegie and Tony Robbins.

Critically Acclaimed

This book has been critically acclaimed by some of the most important critics. The Sunday Times has called it a timely book with a fresh and important theory whereas The Times has stated that the book is a small voice that punches above its weight. The Guardian has also praised this book by Susan Cain for its ability to affect people for the greater good.

A Strong Advocate of Introverts

The book discusses the history of introverts and extroverts and underlines the fact that the cultures that have given more importance to listening than speaking have flourished better.

5. The Secret

Regarded as a life-changing read by many readers, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is a self-help book that embarks to motivate the reader about a universal paradigm about success that can be achieved though it remains hidden for most people. The book explores about unveiling this little secret which may transform how people look at things and lead them on to the road of success and true happiness.

According to the author, the book makes proper use of the 'law of attraction’ and shows how positive thinking can open treasure trove of bountiful happiness, health and wealth. The book posits the law of attraction as a primeval law that completes the law of the universe (as well of our lives) through the process 'like attracts like’. The author is also of the view that as people think-and-feel, so do they send a corresponding frequency to the universe that in turn attracts events and circumstances of the same frequency. Hence, if one is always able to think positive and think right, naturally, one will obtain the best results always. In all this argument however, there is no scientific basis for the views expressed as to how such 'attraction' affect the biological and physical processes of the body.

In propounding these provocative views, the book highlights visualization and gratitude as the two major powerful processes that help people manifest their dreams and desires. Although hailed by many as the secret to good life and better living, the book has also attracted some serious criticism, with many claiming it to be a 'highly controversial’ book.

Despite the controversy, in 2006 a film by the same name as the book was released. The Secret has sold over 19 million copies in less than a year’s span and has been translated into 46 languages. And, even after a decade of its first publication, it is still regarded as a path-breaking work in the field of inspirational writings.
