Closed: Adriana Perez @adriperez

Location: Adriana's Apartment

Anders adjusted his cufflinks as he parked his sleek sedan outside a small, graffiti-covered apartment building. His colleague had called him in a panic about his daughter, Adriana, a twenty-five-year-old with a flair for rebellion that often led her into trouble. He hadn’t seen her in weeks, and the worry in their father's voice, on top of an owed favor, had pushed Anders to offer his help.

Climbing the creaky stairs, he felt a mix of apprehension and determination. He knocked on the door, and after a moment, he called out in case the young woman was startled by the sudden knocking. “Adriana, it’s Anders. Your dad asked me to check in on you.”

starter for: @adriana-flores location: little dipper luxury spa

There weren’t all that many people in Half Moon Bay who really knew Javi all that well. He intentionally kept to himself, spending his time alone was easier than it was to let people in and risk hurting them. That was the problem with Javier, he was never concerned about getting hurt himself, only that those around him would suffer because they usually did. Bad luck followed him like a dark cloud that couldn’t be escaped. He hated it but it was the truth. Adriana was one of those people who had been caught in the crossfire of his life. He couldn’t avoid her forever, Half Moon Bay wasn’t that big of a town, but he’d tried his damndest to stay out of her way ever since he came home two years ago from prison. Today it seemed that luck had run out.

Watching her trying to unload some extremely heavy looking boxes into a store front of a spa he felt a tug to over and offer some support. “Need a hand, Adri?” He hoped he wasn’t overstepping with that little nickname he used to call her by. It was so fucking confusing trying to figure out where the lines were drawn in the sand these days with people from his past. He walked over and took one of the boxes from her, glancing up at the name on the store front. “Little Dipper…that’s cute.”

starter for @adriana-flores at strawflower village

Hunter sat outside a little restaurant in strawflower village scrolling through tinder and wondering what the hell he was doing with the rest of his day. He'd worked the early shift that day at the shop and now that he'd been home and showered off the grease from the car he'd been working on, he needed a little bit of entertainment. "Well ain't you a breath of fresh air." He gave a half smirk as he saw Adriana walking by him and met her eyes. "What you got planned for your day darlin'? He drawled and sat up a little straighter, putting his phone in his back pocket and leaning forward to get a better look at the woman.

@biofunctions

tony doesn't think he's ever been inside chris and adriana's apartment outside of christopher's intervention. it's bigger, without the gaggle of people present that day, but still cramped quarters. tony soprano doesn't go over anyone's house - they come to his domain. but he's breaking the rules today, apparently adriana's gone somewhere, out with friends or something - just the two of them. whatever college football game is on is blasted on the television when christopher opens the door.

when tony steps inside, he holds up the bottle in his hand - a non-alcoholic bottle of rum.

"saw this shit and thought of you - never seen anything like it before," is his excuse for showing up tonight. what he won't say is that he'd gone out of his way to find it for him. in his other hand is a bag with chinese food - it's been a long time since they've eaten together, and yet tony remembers christopher's order from when he was still a kid laid out on johnny boy soprano's living room floor.

"carm's still exiling me from the house so i thought i'd stop by, see if you're busy."

La regola estrosa 

Cent'anni di eleganza maschile italiana

a cura di Giannino Malossi

interventi e saggi di Gillo Dorfles, Vittoria de Buzzaccarini, Giannino Malossi, Adriana Mulassano, Luigi Settembrini

Questo libro e la mostra che lo ha accompagnato con successo a Firenze cercano di riempire un vuoto nella cultura della moda italiana, o perlomeno di cominciare a farlo. In copertina del libro Luchino Visconti nel 1934 fotografato da Horst P. Horst. Una mostra e un libro promossi dal Centro di Firenze per la Moda Italiana, prodotti e realizzati per Pitti Immagine . Mostra Stazione Leopolda, Firenze 24 giugno - 31 ottobre 1993

Il prodotto Italian style è simbolo di tecniche artigianali, abilità produttive e conoscenze che spaziano dalla moda, all’industria automobilistica, fino alla cultura enogastronomica. Lo stile del Bel Paese, riconosciuto universalmente, è ricco di fenomeni sociali, a volte, inaccessibili agli stessi italiani, non sempre in grado di cogliere le varie istanze culturali che avvengono sotto i loro occhi. L’idea di Giannino Malossi è quella di ripercorrere, attraverso figure iconiche di stile, il mondo dell’eleganza maschile italiana. Un’analisi che spazia da Gabriele D’Annunzio a Nuvolari, da Curzio Malaparte a Pucci, da Montezemolo a Armani, alcuni tra i celebri esponenti della “Bella figura” italiana.

Speaking of Snow White (completely agree with all your posts btw, and I guess that my unpopular opinion is that Rachel's Snow >>>>>>> Lego Snow no matter how botched the execution in the movie might end up being, because Lego Snow is just. A damn JOKE. She's not meant to be badass, she's meant to be laughed at. At least Rachel will play her Snow as an actual character), you've mentioned in the past that she's in your top 3 Disney princesses. If you don't mind, what would your complete ranking be, and the reasons for each placement?

oh, that is a great point. yeah, i thought the lego stuff was cute when i first saw sets of it on here, but it is jokes! it was deeply annoying to see people saying stuff like, “oh, this is doing snow a thousand times better than the live action will!” BE FOR REAL.

i always love an excuse to ramble about my princess opinions! for the sake of a framework, i am ranking using the ~Official Disney Princess~ lineup... with the inclusion of a certain asterisked three who have been booted from the same for what i consider arbitrary and silly reasons.

needless to say, this got long as all hell.

01. belle. always and forever thee princess to me.

i love her gothic heroine sensibilities. i love that within, like, three minutes of meeting her we hear her gush about fairy tales as many times and i love her “daily mean song” because i also grew up in an anti-intellectual small town and it is a mood. i love that she does the noble thing and gets upset about doing it even if it was noble, and i love that she takes off after the west wing, “promise or no promise!” because fuck that situation. i love that she comes back but only after the beast has proven that there is something good in him after all, and because the other option was leaving him to die and she is not gonna do that. i love how emotionally intelligent she is - the way she recognizes when the beast is on his self-improvement tour, for instance, and is happy to meet him where he is, because she knows the effort is being made (the drinking from the bowls together!). i love how fearless she is, and the way she stands her ground with gaston and the beast alike.

i think belle is simply the best-written disney princess there is, (thank you, linda woolverton), and she is one of the best examples of a character who resonates with modern audiences without just being a mouthpiece for “good” 20th century opinions in a fantasy pseudohistorical setting.

02. snow white. even if she does not have much of an *arc*, she has so much personality and i love that about her! the way she fusses with her hair a little before going out to see the prince on the balcony. the orphan solidarity she expresses with the bird who fell from its nest and the “children” in the cottage. the way her first impulse, after the nightmare woods, is to comfort the animals she might have startled. that the artists and writers took care to put all that personality in, when there was so much else to worry about in every frame for this fairly unprecedented work of art, is wonderful to me.

there is such a unique quality to her look and her voice, too. the last, what, 30 years of broadway belting princesses has kind of lost its charm for me, and it is always so refreshing to hear adriana caselotti’s voice. and i can almost make as good a case for her as a gothic heroine princess as i can for belle!

and, look - despite my frequently successful efforts to clamp down my worst disney adult impulses, i am always going to be one of those people who is kind of precious and weird about walt disney. ergo, a good part of my love for snow white is that she is Walt’s Original. obviously, i do not think that makes her or her movie untouchable, but the fact that she was walt’s folly who turned into the cornerstone of this magic kingdom - that does make her special to me.

03. esmeralda*, the first of those who was a disney princess officially for a while, and no longer is, but remains so in my heart.

this, i think, is the most important illustrative fact about esmeralda. she carries a knife under her skirts. she is repeatedly menaced and threatened, and fights back admirably with her brains and her words (and a candlestick), but the only time we see her use that knife is in defense of another person being persecuted by a mob, in an act that is as compassionate as it is just.

i think both factions of The Discourse - the people who girlboss their warrior princesses too close to the sun, and the people who think that suggesting a princess have more agency is a personal attack on them because they like to bake things - could stand to meditate for a while upon that.

04. mulan. i am an army brat who grew up with the uncomfortable feeling that i should have been a son, for what i know now to be both dad reasons *and* queer reasons, so i am not even a little bit capable of being normal about mulan. (sound off, fellow queer children who grew up feeling A Way about “reflection.”)

i think she is one of the smartest disney princesses, too, and that is an underrated quality in her! from the notes on her arm for the matchmaker meeting (obviously, did not work out, but she was still working smarter, not harder!), to winning the pillar, to her strategy at the emperor’s palace. she also has the honor of being the one disney princess whose movie i consider a genuine win for feminism.

05. pocahontas. of course, there are the problematics of her movie’s existence at all, but, in a vacuum, i adore her. i think we actually desperately need more disney princesses who are reckless, weird mystics whose family and friends all think they’re a lunatic. that is representative of Me.

pocahontas and esmeralda were both extremely important childhood role models to me in speaking truth to power, too, which i needed in my catholic conservative household. and i feel about “colors of the wind” the way i feel about “it’s a small world.” a little simplistic? sure. but it is making a point that the world would do well to take in, and you can bet that it is a point i want my future children to understand early and well.

- also. let it be known that i fucking love journey to a new world. i ate UP the drama as a kid. rolfe >>> smith, and ratcliff’s plotting for the hunt ball makes me so angry because it is perfect. of course he would think of bear baiting. of course he knows that pocahontas would be pissed and say something about it! she was right to do so! i still think regularly about how compelling and tragic she looked in the tower, with her fancy english gown ruined and her hair flowing around her. the gothic heroine of it all.

06. cinderella. i feel like the discourse has given her a harder time than even snow white, on all sides, but she still comes out of it smiling and graciously winning at life because she is cinderella and that is what she DOES. i wasn’t able to fight back or run away in the house i grew up in, either, but i took her words to heart: “they can’t order me to stop dreaming.” i also took to heart that not even the wickedest families can stop you from being a smartass when you feel like it :)

but, most of all, i love cinderella for reminding those of us who are suffering that, when the chance comes for something beautiful, you take it. even if you have to go back to real life the next day; even if you think it sounds too good to be true. you never know when a miracle will come, and it is on you to take every opportunity for one to present itself.

(all that said... cinderella is the only instance where i actually kind of like her live-action characterization, and the live-action film overall, better than the original! i know many people think the live-action ella was a lot more of a doormat than the animated cinderella, but i don’t feel that way at all; they just handle their situations differently, and the timelines of their loss were different enough that i can understand why that would be the case.)

07. elsa*. diversity win! this snow queen is disney’s first mentally ill princess! and, oh, boy, did that mean a lot to me while i was in the early throes of what turned out to be some fairly severe undiagnosed ill. really, my favorite thing about elsa is what a wreck she is for so much of the movie. i like it when disney chooses not to pull any punches about showing their princesses at their lowest (see also cinderella bawling in the garden), because it makes their healing that much sweeter.

08. tiana. she is from the 1920s! she is from new orleans! she is an entrepreneur! all things i adore unreservedly about her! but i simply refuse to believe she was fully prepared to give up all that dream and drive and be a damn frog forever in the damn swamp forever because ~love~. not on your flat-bottomed stove, disney.

09. ariel. i began to like ariel a lot more when i stopped seeing her as another example of the rebellious princess trope, which i dislike, and started seeing her as a pocahontas-level weirdo. the way she is willing to run headfirst into the shadiest situation since the hag showed up at snow white’s window, just to get to (basically) another planet and learn about (basically) alien life... she is just like me fr :)

10. jasmine. i feel like she has a little less personality than her other renaissance-era comrades, and, as suggested with ariel, i am a hard sell on the rebellious princess trope, doubly so when it is just about feeling ~so trapped~ in your beautiful palace with every luxury. but! i do love her interactions with aladdin, and she gets extra credit for two things in particular.

the first is that i do have to hand it to her for planting the idea in child me’s head that... sometimes... heroines can KISS the villains. intriguing.

the second is the time my family took a trip to epcot when i was newly in the agony of braces, which - double agony - had not been installed on my teeth correctly. one afternoon, i was picking my way through whatever i could stand to chew at akershus. jasmine came over to our table, and the first thing she said to me was, “oh! you have jewels on your teeth! how beautiful!” the confidence and joy that gave to awkward 12-year-old me is beyond describing. i beamed through the pain in every photo for the rest of the trip, to show off my jewels.

11. aurora. i feel bad that she did not make the top 10, but she really just does not get a lot to do! i do like what we get of her, and there is no arguing with mary costa as one of the best voices in disney history. i will leave this post here as further reasoning for aurora.

12. merida. i like her arc and i love her design. THAT HAIR. i just wish her movie was a little different. i like it, too, but i will always mourn the higher fantasy kind of story we were originally promised with the bear and the bow.

13. rapunzel. i do not have strong opinions for her; i do not have strong opinions against her. i like a good lost princess story and she is cute, but tangled is also where i really started feeling the heart kind of leaving the brand. we all should have foreseen the worst, what with the quips.

14. raya. i do not think about her or her movie that much, and when i do, i am mostly thinking about sisu, but kelly marie tran’s performance was really good and i was just so happy to see a new, original fantasy story come out of this studio. it’s been 84 years, et cetera. also... something, something, disney’s first LGBTQ character, now if only i could get people to start shipping her with her weird dragon girlfriend instead of the girl who spends the whole movie trying to kill her.

15. anna*. i have to say, she has grown on me since i first saw frozen...but that still makes her only my third favorite character in frozen, out of the three total characters i give a damn about it. she gets a little credit for the way she and elsa feed my gothic siblings obsession, but that has less to do with anna as she is and more to do with the anna i made up in my head. i was coming around to her more in the sequel, for a little while, but i hated the ending they gave elsa so much that it made me forget any goodwill i developed.

16. moana. another one that i really do not think about much at all, except i liked her movie WAY less than i liked raya and the last dragon. crazy to me that the heroine with a pandering line for the too-cool 21st-century audience about how she’s NOT a princess, ACTUALLY, is in the lineup, but the only thing disney cares about more than character integrity is making a fortune off as much marketing to little girls as possible.

pretty as flowers, shine bright as sunlight.

the old local sweet shop that adriana used to visit when she was a kid is now replaced by a newer, prettier, and definitely more fragrant flower boutique. it has been 6 years since the last time she was in Newcrest - her hometown - and now walking the street feels like the first time: so many things have changed, including her too.

episode 01 of after him is in the editing process and will be published soon, stay tuned!
