The Future

This video excerpt comes from the 100th Episode Special - originally aired in 2002 as a countdown to the show's 100th episode (S4xE24 "That Musical Episode"). The cast contemplates the characters' futures.

Fez

Wilmer wants Fez to become a man/lose his virginity, and some of the others jokingly predict he'll become a ladies' man.

Check. Fez loses his virginity in season 6 of the show, and grows more suave and confident with the ladies in season 7 and 8 (and in That '90s Show, too). He ends up running his own hair salon/being a small business owner, not a dance instructor or an alien (*lol*).

Kelso

Debra Jo predicts he'll get the highest score on the SAT's and get into Harvard - Ashton echoes this guess that he ends up being a secret genius.

Check. In S5xE10 "The Crunge", the gang gets their SAT scores back and Kelso's is the highest. We don't know what his career is in That '90s Show - if he stuck with becoming a cop, or if he ended up pursuing something else.

Jackie

Mila predicts she will be captain of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders - at least, this was her wish in high school (among others). Wilmer sees her owning a beauty salon (Oh the irony... Chez Fez *lol*) or a shopping mall.

Unchecked. We don't know much about how Jackie's future ended up, but she's not in Dallas. She's in Point Place with Michael and their son Jay. Her career is also a total question mark in That '90s Show - did she stick with TV, the direction she was heading in seasons 7 and 8, or pivot to something else?

Hyde

The cast jokingly suggests that Hyde starts working for the government or becomes a spy for the CIA in adulthood - the very antithesis of what he'd stood for in his youth. The irony would be funny.

Unchecked. As the show ends, Hyde is single and W.B. has just given him the full reins to Grooves record store. Where he went from there is unclear. His fate in the '90s is unknown (maybe he is off working for the Man, man).

Red and Kitty

Debra Jo predicts that 25 years later, Red and Kitty would be sitting on a cloud somewhere together (and that Kitty's finally thin, and Red has a cocktail 🤣).

Check, maybe? 25 years after the show ends would be 2005, and Red and Kitty could be dead at that point. But we get to see that ten years before that, in 1995, they're enjoying life with their granddaughter!

Donna

Laura predicts Donna will be running for president or owning her own company. Wilmer pictures her traveling and exploring her independence.

Unchecked. In the finale Donna is single and finally heading off to college, but appears to reunite with Eric on the driveway when he returns. In 1995 she and Eric are married and have a teenage daughter, and Donna's a published writer (I think Laura would approve of this career for her, too, so I'm tempted to give a half-point *lol*). They live in Chicago.

Eric

Debra Jo thinks he's going to be a sensitive artist. Laura mentions that Eric wants to stay here and raise a family. Topher and Debra Jo both want Eric and Donna to get back together.

Check and unchecked. No on the sensitive artist (*lol*) - Eric decides that he wants to become a teacher at the end of season 7 and goes to Africa to pursue this. In That '90s Show he's a professor and he teaches a course about the religion of Star Wars. He and Donna do get back together and they do raise a family together, though in Chicago, not Point Place.

[acuorleggero]

Questa è una storia che nasce nel Bronx, al numero 1520 di Sedgwick Avenue, ma ha radici che partono da altri posti. Partono da New Orleans, da Detroit, dalla Giamaica. È in Giamaica, infatti, che Clive Campbell ha visto i primi sound system e le prime dance-hall. È un bambino, Clive, ma rimane subito affascinato da quelle casse enormi davanti a cui decine di corpi si muovono al ritmo del Rocksteady e dello Ska. Nelle orecchie rimbomba la voce degli uomini che al microfono sputano frasi su quei ritmi sincopati, su quel ritmo in levare che permetteva di dire tutto a tempo. Li chiamavano maestri di cerimonia perché, in fondo, quelle erano vere e proprie cerimonie e i Dj e i vocalist che provvedevano al suono erano visti come degli officianti. Clive ricorda tutto questo ora che la Giamaica è un posto lontano e lui è solo un altro ragazzo nero di New York. Ad esser precisi, Clive è un ragazzo nero del Bronx e la cosa, a metà anni 70, ha il suo triste rilievo. Il Bronx di quegli anni, infatti, non somiglia a Manhattan, non somiglia al Queens né tantomeno a Brooklyn o a Staten Island. Il Bronx del 1973, infatti, somiglia piuttosto alla Beirut della guerra civile. Incendi dolosi di interi distretti di quartieri controllati da bande ("I guerrieri della notte", per esempio, da qualche parte dovevano pur spuntare...), palazzoni sventrati diventati dimore di eroinomani, violenza ad ogni angolo di strada, violenza nelle stesse case. Clive cresce in mezzo a questo, perché da lì non si scappa, e si forma anche grazie a questo. Diventa un ragazzo che ama la musica e si ingegna per superare tutti gli ostacoli che la vita gli ha posto davanti. Uno di questi, paradossalmente, sta nel come riprodurre un suono "ballabile". I dischi Motown (grazie Detroit), i dischi Soul, Jazz e Blues (grazie New Orleans) vanno bene, ma fino ad un certo punto. I pezzi, infatti, partono con un break di batteria ma poi evolvono. A lui interessa quel break e interessa soprattutto che quel break possa durare a lungo. Più tempo uguale più ritmo. Per risolvere questa equazione ha una intuizione: due dischi dello stesso brano su due piatti. Quando il break finisce su di uno, fa partire il break dell'altro, e così via. Il tutto messo a tempo, il tutto con qualcuno che dice qualcosa al microfono. Clive ora si fa chiamare Dj Kool Herc e non lo sa ancora ma con quella festa che darà l'11 agosto 1973 al numero 1520 di Sedgwick Avenue darà una data, un indirizzo e una storia ad un genere musicale e ad una cultura, quella HIP HOP, che da un palazzone del Bronx arriverà in ogni angolo del Pianeta. Prima di Travis Scott, prima di Kendrick Lamar ma anche prima di Sfera Ebbasta, di Guè e di ogni altro artista che fa Rap, che ci piaccia o meno, che sia bravo o meno, c'è stato Kool Herc, c'è stato il black-out del 77, ci sono stati i Clash, Blondie, Grandmaster Flash, Africa Bambataa, Run DMC, KRS-One, EPMD, Dj Premier, Gangstarr, Pete Rock, Notorious Big, NWA, Ice-Cube, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Jay-Z, Outkast, Tupac Shakur, 50 Cent, the Lox, il southern, la trap, la drill, Griselda Records e tutto un universo musicale capace di mettere in rima ogni singolo aspetto della vita, dalle cose serissime alle autentiche cazzate. 50 anni di una sottocultura nata in strada e nutritasi di strada. It ain't hard to tell.

[scenariopubblico]

Un viaggio spirituale, metodico, chiaro…

È questo ciò che è stato vissuto domenica 11 novembre al Teatro Sangiorgi di Catania, con Africa - orizzonti di rinascita, un progetto coreografico di Claudia Scalia danzato da Rebecca Bendinelli, Ismaele Buonvenga, Rachele Pascale e Nunzio Saporito.

Scalia è direttore artistico insieme a Marco Laudani, di Ocram Dance Movement, compagnia associata a Scenario Pubblico/ Compagnia Zappalà Danza Centro di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale per la danza.

Africa è stato il primo spettacolo “fuori abbonamento” della stagione in corso, portato in scena nella costola del Teatro Massimo Bellini grazie al progetto Be resident-nella città la danza, l'articolato protocollo d'intesa stretto tra Scenario Pubblico e il Teatro Massimo Bellini per promuovere la danza contemporanea nel territorio.

Da dove ha origine Africa? Ce lo spiega il coreografo:

«Questo lavoro nasce da un viaggio che ho fatto con il desiderio di trovare un luogo ‘incontaminato’ dall’uomo: naturale, puro e vergine. Così, prima di iniziare il processo creativo, mi sono recato in Africa con la speranza di trovare quel tipo di luogo "vuoto", ma allo stesso tempo pieno di tutto ciò che ci può offrire la natura. Purtroppo questo mito si è tramutato in qualcosa di negativo in quanto nel 2019, anno di nascita del lavoro, la ricerca di quest’Eden è stata vana, perché ho visto che anche acque di mari e fiumi e luoghi così naturali e paradisiaci sono contaminati da spazzatura e plastica. Quest’anno, riprendendo il lavoro, dopo quattro anni, la situazione del nostro pianeta è degenerata. Riflettendo mi sono detto, perché non riportarlo in scena con un messaggio di speranza? Da qui l’aggiunta del sottotitolo orizzonti di rinascita. Il nome Africa l’ho scelto perché mi piaceva l’idea di personificare la mia idea e non semplicemente assegnare un titolo».

La scena si è aperta con una lunga striscia di plastica sita a bordo palco perché, riprendendo le parole di Claudio, la ricerca di un territorio incontaminato si rivela un fallimento nel momento in cui anche i territori paradisiaci celano angoli bui e sporchi...

Africa è nato ispirandosi al connubio di quattro elementi che danno vita alla materia pragmatica: acqua, aria, fuoco e terra. Come gli uomini, essi sono governati da amore e discordia che si incontrano e si scontrano, dominano a tempi alterni. È così che, attraverso il linguaggio del coreografo, i danzatori hanno instaurato un profondo ascolto con il pubblico e una potente connessione tra i loro corpi, con un’energia scattante. È proprio quell’energia che ha permesso di coinvolgere, inebriare, spettinare ed entrare a pieno in quella visione del pianeta, in cui viene continuamente soffocato e sopraffatto dall’azione degli uomini.

Claudio Scalia è coreografo di Africa ma, nell'anno di nascita della creazione, è stato anche danzatore. Cosa e come è cambiato oggi il lavoro?

«Se ripenso al 2019 ritrovo un Claudio con una visione della coreografia non matura come quella di adesso…ero coinvolto dall’idea, dalla coreografia e riuscivo a esprimere ciò come danzatore. Successivamente ho fatto un passo indietro, volevo vedere da fuori per capire cosa arrivasse. Ho capito così che, in questo momento della mia vita il mio desiderio era quello di vederlo dalla parte del pubblico. Sicuramente a livello drammaturgico un contributo importante mi è stato dato da Marco Laudani e Sergio Campisi che ringrazio per avermi aperto nuovi orizzonti».

Mani e braccia evocative e comunicative risaltate dal continuo gioco di luci che ha aperto scenari diversi, la pioggia sui corpi, il riflesso di un fascio di luci gialle sui corpi dei danzatori... È in questo momento che sembra essersi creato un equilibrio tra l’uomo e la natura.

Voi artefici del vostro destino, incuranti del domani, Voi ignari della grandezza della natura. Voi uomini, già sconfitti, contro Madre Terra T.S Eliot

Ogni danzatore nascosto da una maschera, appariva sicuro della propria individualità e della forza del gruppo, ma allo stesso tempo sembrava che volesse nascondersi dai sensi di colpa….

Ma una volta caduta la maschera?

E’ proprio il senso di comunità a far dell’uomo l’artefice del destino del pianeta. Tutti abbiamo la stessa colpa di aver reso il mondo come lo vede T.S Eliot, una terra desolata e devastata.

L’offuscarsi delle luci insieme all'inizio di un monologo di Greta Thunbergha in sottofondo ha preceduto l’ingresso di un sacco di plastica riciclata (come i costumi utilizzati) insieme i quattro danzatori. Una volta in scena, hanno tolto le maschere, spostato la plastica e iniziando a rotolarvi sopra e intorno, dando la sensazione di restare intrappolati, metaforicamente e fisicamente, nelle conseguenze delle loro azioni.

Il faro sul fondo palco ha illuminato Ismaele che, avvolto dalla plastica, è diventato come la silhouette di un disegno caotico, tempestoso e incessante. Nell'intento di volersi liberare, è riuscito a sfuggire e a raggiungere, insieme agli altri danzatori lo Shanti, quella pace ineffabile, riferimento anch’essa al testo di Eliot. Alla fine di tutto l’uomo sovrastato dai sensi di colpa, capisce che è la natura a governare il mondo e pertanto capisce di doverne rispettare il ruolo indiscusso.

È così che al termine della performance è stato riproposto lo stesso quadro iniziale: le ombre dei danzatori, in fila, messe in risalto dalla luce in fondo, simboleggiano l'aperta ricerca dell'orizzonte di rinascita in una situazione di quiete comune.

Abbiamo chiesto a Ismaele, uno dei danzatori, se rispetto al codice di movimento di Claudio, ha inserito proprie sfumature personali. Andiamo a vedere cosa dice al riguardo…

«Nonostante il lavoro a livello coreografico sia molto settato e preciso ci sono anche vari momenti di improvvisazione, soprattutto in relazione allo studio dei quattro elementi. In quanto elemento-terra, ho avuto massima libertà di esprimere sia la forza della terra che ci sostiene, ma anche la friabilità, perché il suolo non è poi così tanto solido come sembra e può sgretolarsi».

Il numeroso pubblico presente in platea e in tribuna ha avuto la possibilità di immergersi in un viaggio senza tempo e di cogliere la chiarezza esponenziale della performance. Gli applausi di gradimento sono stati notevoli a dimostrazione di quanto effettivamente il pubblico sia stato coinvolto dal flusso incessante dell’acqua e da quello travolgente dell'aria, dal fuoco impetuoso e dalla forza e friabilità della terra.

E tu che leggi, hai recepito il messaggio e contribuirai a creare nel tuo piccolo un orizzonte di rinascita?

The Advanced Guide to 009BET

The internet was just born and already it has 6 billion websites, one for every person on Earth today. Human beings are obsessed with writing and even more obsessed with Paris Hilton, the number one search on the internet. Lets get to know a little about our modern day Aphrodite aka Venus, the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sex worshipped by the Greek and Roman people 4 thousand years ago. Paris Hilton proves once again that sex sells both hamburgers and religion.

The Greek Goddess Aphrodite Festival is called the Aphrodisiac, which was celebrated all over Greece especially in Athens and Corinth. Christina Onassis was the heiress of Aristotle Onassis the Greek shipping billionaire. We are talking real money here. Christina was Aristotles only living child, a real heiress, like Jennifer Gates, 9, and Phoebe Gates, 3, the two daughters of the worlds richest man, 009BET send me the Bill Gates, at $51 billion dollars and counting. Bill and Melinda French of Dallas Texas have given so much money to charity that they have completely eradicated poverty in Africa. Paris Hilton, if she is lucky enough to make it into her grandfathers will will be lucky to inherit one million dollars. The One with the money, Paris great grandfather Conrad Hilton, (whose son Nicky was the first husband of Elizabeth Taylor), left the grand total of nothing to his 4 children. He married his third wife at 87 and then left his entire fortune to the Catholic Church. Paris grandfather Barron Hilton went to court to contest the will and he won, becoming the first person ever to defeat the Vatican in court, walking away with a few hundred million. He has 8 kids. They have kids. Paris slice of the pie could be $200,000, walking around money for the Sultan of Brunei, whose oil fields America is now spending its blood to protect. That is hot not.

Being an heiress is normally a mirage, as Christina Onassis can testify to. Have you ever noticed how many pop icons cash in on Jesus story right in their names? Its like peoples minds are like search engines responding either positively or negatively to certain keywords like Paris Hilton. Madonna, the Virgin Mary, Christ Ina Aguilera, Britney Spears, I have a pain in my side, said Jesus. Is that a spear in my ribcage or are you just happy to see me? Jesus Christ was a Jewish Rabbi painted by the Greek New Testament writers with the Godlike qualities of the Greek Goddess Eurynome and Bellerophon and his flying horse Pegasus and several other Greek deities. You can read all about it at The Temple of Love. 20 million Christian and Jewish children lost their lives in WW2 aka The War Against the Jews because according to stories which God of Mount Sinai aka Jesus aka Allah aka Elohim Himself endlessly calls man made legends and fairy tales right in the Holy Bibles, the Jewish people killed this half real half fictitious character 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Humans have a problem separating fact from fiction. At least Paris Hilton is a real person. Ive seen her. Ive touched her. Ive kissed her. Her lips are as candy. Her legs are as ladders.

Sex sells. Paris Hilton was a nobody, an extra in a series of B movies until the videotape of her coiting Rick Salomon in 1 Night in Paris showed up on the internet last year at the same time that The Simple Life debuted. People are fascinated by infamy. Did you know that the male cats penis has spines which point backwards? Upon withdrawal of the penis the spikes rake the walls of the females vagina. The female needs this stimulation for ovulation to begin. Paris Hilton, outraged over the release of the video, raked in $400,000 plus a percentage of the profits of the film which shot her to super stardom. Without that video Paris Hilton is serving cocktails at Studio 54 today instead of dancing on the bar topless with the worlds media murdering each other for a snapshot of Paris Hilton half nude.

Paris Whitney Hilton was named after Whitney Houston because her name wasnt famous enough. During the Aphrodite Festival, the Aphrodisiac, in Corinth Greece, the men had intercourse with the Priestesses of Aphrodite. This was considered a method of worshipping Aphrodite. What did you get for Christmas? In the Holy Temple in Jerusalem the Priests lured the people in with The Temple Prostitutes who lived in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. King Solomon who built the Holy Temple had 900 wives, concubines and mistresses. Compared to him Jesus was a mere piker with his Mary Magdalene and a few of her girlfriends. Do you hear what Im saying girlfriend? At least Paris Hilton is a real person.

Aphrodite was born as an 18 year old Paris Hilton in the Sea off of Cyprus after Cronus cut off Uranus genitals and the elder Gods blood and semen dropped on the Sea where they began to foam. Aphrodite rose out of the foam in her 18 year old birthday suit. When did people become so prudish? Going wild over 1 Night in Paris? 4,000 years ago mating with hookers in the Temple was normal. In 1879 William-Adolphe Bouguereau painted the Birth of Venus, (Venus was Aphrodites Roman name), which showed the full face on nude 18 year old Aphrodite being born rising from the sea foam. How did Hugh Hefner get to be called risqu? And where did all the paintings and likenesses of Jesus come from? There isnt one single word of description of Jesus in the Holy Bible or anywhere else.

Sex sold religion then and it still sells it today. The Las Vegas Hilton boasts the worlds largest free standing sign, Welcome Idiots. The hijackers on 911 fully expected to hit the twin towers then immediately wake up in eternal paradise with 72 virgins and wine with no side effects, because they read it in their Bible. Lot, the only righteous man in sin city, (Tony the Ant came in second) Sodom and Gomorrah was saved by God and rewarded with wine and sex with his two virgin daughters. Oscar Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas with 85% of the vote was the mobs lawyer who represented Meyer Lansky, Ace Rosenthal, Tony the Ant and corrupt San Diego mayor Roger Hedgecock to get the job. He recently said on Television, Those who deface freeways with graffiti should have their thumbs cut off on Television. Violence sells too. At least Paris Hilton is real.

Bruno Genèro - Ekùn

Il terzo disco del percussionista italiano Techno & House incontrano l’Africa

“Ekùn” è il nuovo progetto musicale di Bruno Genèro dal 15 dicembre disponibile anche in una release in doppio vinile 180gr. Lavoro interamente scritto a quattro mani con il DJ produttore Alain Diamond, dove il tamburo dialoga con la musica techno-house. Un album che sancisce l’originale incontro, avvenuto nel 2019, tra un percussionista italiano vissuto per decenni in territori africani ed un DJ producer dal sangue gabonese, che mai ha messo piede in Africa. Passato, presente e futuro confluiscono in un unico contenitore. Due anni trascorsi in studio per realizzare 10 brani inediti. Il risultato è racchiuso dentro sonorità vissute ed assimilate da Bruno durante i suoi viaggi e che trovano la perfetta sintesi con i suoni digitali di Alain. Un ponte ideale fra le atmosfere fredde e acide della musica Techno ed i toni decisamente più caldi e tellurici delle percussioni suonate dal vivo.

“Sono un percussionista djembefolà da oltre quarant’anni. Dopo una lunga e profonda ricerca in terre lontane, mi sono trovato ad esprimermi attraverso un’arte proveniente da una cultura differente dalla mia: l’Africa. Come la musica non ha frontiere, così la ricerca sul campo mi ha permesso di aprire la mente verso nuovi stimoli e forme musicali. Il ritmo e la danza diventando una meditazione del corpo. Trovo nella Techno-Dance-House una connessione con il continente africano a tal punto da creare un album che potesse rappresentarmi. EKÙN è un progetto autobiografico. Ancora una volta ho scelto la musica per raccontare e descrivere. Ogni brano, ogni traccia rappresenta un’esperienza, un’avventura vissuta viaggiando in tre continenti con il mio tamburo (Africa, Europa, America e Isole caraibiche). È stato bello cercare una nuova forma e sintetizzare i punti salienti. Un processo di trasformazione, dove poco a poco tutte le esperienze accumulate si riuniscono in un’unica identità. E poi come spesso dico: L’uomo propone, la Musica dispone. Stessa essenza, nuova forma.” Bruno Genèro

ALBUM TRACK BY TRACK

“Run” è il secondo singolo estratto da “Ekùn”. Il brano fuori lo stesso giorno dell’album “Ekùn”, il 4 dicembre 2023. Si tratta di un racconto autobiografico delle esperienze e avventure vissute negli oltre 40 anni di carriera viaggiando in 3 continenti con il suono tamburo (Africa, Europa, America e Isole caraibiche). 

«RUN racconta del cacciatore e della preda in una savana cibernetica. C’è un istante in cui gli occhi s'incontrano. In quello sguardo i due si riconoscono e le emozioni si scambiano… Ugualmente il maschile e il femminile spesso nell'incontro-scontro si completano e dissetano a vicenda». Bruno Genèro

Bruno Genèro è un djembefolà italiano. Musicista e virtuoso di uno strumento leggendario come il djembé, tamburo malinke, sopravvissuto a secoli di storia per trionfare, alle soglie del nuovo millennio, nel panorama internazionale della musica. Inizia a studiare batteria jazz e classica e all’età di 17 anni incontra a Parigi la percussione africana, dove inizia la sua passione per il djembe. Dal 1980 al 2005 si forma vivendo fra Africa (Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso e Costa d’Avorio) e Cuba. Fondatore della Kaidara Dance Company (1984), con la sorella danzatrice-coreografa Katina Genero, la compagnia si esibisce in Europa, Africa e Canada. Fondatore del gruppo musicale Bruno Genero Ensemble (1990), con il quale si esibisce in Italia, Europa, Africa, America settentrionale e isole caraibiche.

15) I can't decide / If I love you more at morning / Or I love you more at night

16) I wish I weren’t single now

17) Your eyes told me, "Girl, come ride me"

18) I didn't know that you were lonely

19) What have I gotta do to make you love me?

20) No teasing, you waited long enough

[mjmacchio1991]

hello! i hope you're having a great day! <3 so... i was just wondering, which are your 80-90s hcs for the boys? <333

Hello! So sorry this is late! My schedule has been swamped but it is all good now! I do have some 80s-90s hc's for the boys and here they are:

80s

Ponyboy got a portable color camera and used it to take photos of nature and the gang.

Johnny would apply decorative pins to every shirt and jacket he owned.

Ponyboy is a giant Earth, Wind, and Fire fan and loves to pop a tape into his Sony Sports Walkman and roller skate to the funky music.

Ponyboys halloween costumes were those vinyl masks and trash bag-like shirts (Pink Panther and other characters).

Steve wouldn’t shut up about the first moonwalk for many weeks after it premiered at Motown 25.

Darry and Dallas were giant Prince fans (bought 1999 record at launch).

The gang saved up enough money to go to a Michael Jackson concert in Kansas City on February 23, 1988 and loved it.

Ponyboy was a big advocate for the “We Are The World” foundation and bought the 45 for it along with getting a “USA For Africa” shirt.

Steve jokingly subscribed Sodapop to all those cheesy teen magazine services (16, Tiger Beat, Teen Machine, etc.) and Soda thought it was strange that he would get those magazines that promised “HOTTEST BOYS OF THE 80’S! 6 COLOR PIN-UP’S!”

Darry really liked the “Rocky” movies.

Dallas really liked the album "Bad" and the music video for it.

Once, Ponyboy accidentally put copious amounts of Razzle candies on Darry’s tab.

Johnny unironically used “grody”.

Ponyboy and Steve stayed up to watch the premiere of “Beat It” on MTV in March ‘83.

Johnny used Garfield The Cat and Odie The Dog stationary.

The gang was really into the He-Man cartoon and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Ponyboy would rush to record songs off the radio with his cassette recorder.

90s

When crystal Pepsi was announced, Soda’s nickname for the whole year of 1992 was “Crystal Pepsi” and he was obsessed with both the name and drink.

The boys became fascinated with BMX biking and tried making their own at the junkyard with scrap metal (Steve broke an arm going down a trash pile).

Two-Bit would like the cartoons “Ducktales” and “Darkwing Duck”.

Two-Bit somehow redirected the schools satellite after throwing rocks at it and, instead of the Tulsa weather channel, all the televisions started playing the live OJ chase in 1994 (Two got suspended for 2 weeks).

Dallas was really into timberland boots and Biggie Smalls.

Dallas also got a single diamond piercing in his earlobe (Curly did it for him with a needle and ice cube) and this inflated his ego to the max.

The gang's favorite movie to watch was “The Sandlot”.

Ponyboy, Soda, and Johnny were Sega nerds.

Johnny started to watch “The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air” and dressed like Will (denim overalls with multi-colored and baggy striped shirts).

Steve would try to fight someone if they tried to diss the remixes on Michael Jackson’s “Blood On The Dance Floor” album.

Soda and Ponyboy were total Pokemon nerds when the show started and got the first movie on tape the day it was released.

Dallas would have his video cassette tapes stacked up in his living room simply because it felt “practical” to him to have them all in one place (Johnny pleaded with him to put them in a cardboard box or something of the sorts).

Johnny was the first one in the gang to buy a CD as they all could only afford audio cassette tapes (Motown Greatest Hits CD.)

Dallas started a secret business with Tim of ripping CDs and making cheap copies to sell.

Ponyboy's favorite snack were Dunka-roos (chocolate flavored).

When their local arcade got a Nintendo 64, they all went and played it for hours for several days a week.

Darry would keep a neatly organized bin in the living room of all his recorded tapes of various movies and talk shows (with Steve's copy of the 1993 Oprah interview with Michael Jackson).

Ponyboy and Two-Bit chatted in AOL chat rooms (Two-Bit usually got them kicked.)

Two-Bit refused to pay for music once Napster came onto the scene.

Ponyboy would get frosted tips like Joey Fatone and be made fun of until his hair grew out.

Steve would wear hammer pants and wouldn’t take any lip from anyone about it.

MEET THE CREATOR- PART 2 The Personal Questions

I decided to split my Q&A up, so this will be more personal questions that other simmers have sent me, whereas the previous post is more to do with cc and my sims journey. Read Part One HERE. These questions have been asked by other simblrs and simstagrammers <3

Q. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

I think I would like to go somewhere I haven’t been yet, such as New Zealand or Australia. But then I would love to go back to Dubai again or Los Angeles. There are so many possablities. At the moment my partner and I are discussing going to Japan in a few years and going to Kyoto and Oaska. But that’s a long way off. So we will see! 

Q. Where have you travelled to?

Prepare for a list! So I have travelled to the states (I have been to Chicago, Atlanta, Florida, Seattle, Los Angeles, Austin, Dallas and San Diego.) I have also been to Vancouver and Calgary. In Europe I’ve been to Prague, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Spain, Gibraltar,  Portugal, Denmark, Croatia and Greece. I have also been to Saint Petersburg, Abuja (Africa), Dubai, Tel Aviv and Shanghai. Perks of the job! 

Q. When you was younger, what did you want to do?

I think for the longest time I wanted to be a vet. But then I my dog was really ill and I just remember thinking ‘I couldn’t put a dog down’, so I gave up on that. Then I wanted to be a forensic scientist- as I watched way too much NCIS and related to Abbey way too much. I still think it would of been neat if I stuck to that path. Apparently I wanted to be on stage too, my mother has too many videos of young me dancing on stage on holiday to Abba or Britney Spears. I never thought I’d become a flight attendant, as I was scared of flying up until I got the job. 

 Keep reading for more Q&As! 

Q. What would you say is your best feature? 

I would say my eyes, because that’s what I get complimented on a lot. I remember doing my flight back from Abuja and a passenger gave me a compliment letter (a document that passengers can fill out if we’ve given them great service) and he basically wrote a paragraph about my eyes being pretty.. I didn’t include this letter in my end of year review though. It was also the first thing my boyfriend’s mother commented on when I first met her. 

Q. What is your biggest fear?

Recently my biggest fear is being alone. The world is in a weird time right now and I fear losing people and being alone. I’ve already lost one person due to the pandemic and I don’t want to lose anyone else. So yeah, my biggest fear currently is being alone. 

Q. What do you regret?

There are a lot of things in life that I regret, but at the end of the day that is life. You do things you regret and it makes you stronger. My main regret was leaving my cabin crew job in January 2019, it was a job that I loved. But as many of my family tell me, I had to leave due to health issues. I had a massive pain in my ears everytime that I flew and I felt so fatigued. I also need to think on the more positive side, if I didn’t leave my job in January, I wouldn’t of met my boyfriend in the February.

I tried to create me as a flight attendant ^^ @melonsloth​ for the hat! 

Q. What is your biggest accomplishment so far? 

Learning how to make CC! That is probably a sims related one. But other than that, I think becoming a cabin crew member in a major airline is a big positive and climbing a mountain in wales. But that is is for now, hopefully the future has a few things planned for me. 

Q. What would you do differently if you could go back in time?

I think I would of accepted an offer to do another college course after my original one. I did travel and tourism at first and completed that on my target grade, but then I signed up to do sciences and turned the offer down because it meant two more years in education and I wanted some time to be me. So I wish I never turned that down. But again, my life wouldn’t of turned out this way if I did that, I probably wouldn’t of been to the amount of places that I’ve been to. Now I am looking at trying to get in to teaching if I can. 

Q. What got you into creative writing?

I have always loved writing. I like creating stories and planning them out. I have yet to actually complete one. I often think of them when I’m suppose to be sleeping and forget to write them down, so then I just forget them. I did have one the other day about a Space adventure type thing, but I don’t know enough about space to write it. Maybe a bit of research will help. 

And Finally...

Q. For someone who wants to get into the simblr community, writing a blog or making cc, what do you suggest?

For this I really do suggest being patient and don’t copy others! I also feel like you should always be nice to others and respect their opinion. If they don’t want to collab with you, then take that and don’t keep pressuring people. I’ve found it too often when I’ve said no to someone because I am too busy, to then have over 5 messages in ten minutes asking why. 

With creating CC, practise! Don’t release something that you aren’t happy with. It’s best to learn and grow.

11 Ways to Completely Sabotage Your Bắn Cá Liên Minh

The internet was just born and already it has 6 billion websites, one for every person on Earth today. Human beings are obsessed with writing and even more obsessed with Paris Hilton, the number one search on the internet. Lets get to know a little about our modern day Aphrodite aka Venus, the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sex worshipped by the Greek and Roman people 4 thousand years ago. Paris Hilton proves once again that sex sells both hamburgers and religion.

The Greek Goddess Aphrodite Festival is called the Aphrodisiac, which was celebrated all over Greece especially in Athens and Corinth. Christina Onassis was the heiress of Aristotle Onassis the Greek shipping billionaire. We are talking real money here. Christina was Aristotles only living child, a real heiress, like Jennifer Gates, 9, and Phoebe Gates, 3, the two daughters of the worlds richest man, send me the Bill Gates, at $51 billion dollars and counting. Bill and Melinda French of Dallas Texas have given so much money to charity that they have completely eradicated poverty in Africa. Paris Hilton, if she is lucky enough to make it into her grandfathers will will be lucky to inherit one million dollars. The One with the money, Paris great grandfather Conrad Hilton, (whose son Nicky was the first husband of Elizabeth Taylor), left the grand total of nothing to his 4 children. He married his third wife at 87 and then left his entire fortune to the Catholic Church. Paris grandfather Barron Hilton went to court to contest the will and Ae88 Vin he won, becoming the first person ever to defeat the Vatican in court, walking away with a few hundred million. He has 8 kids. They have kids. Paris slice of the pie could be $200,000, walking around money for the Sultan of Brunei, whose oil fields America is now spending its blood to protect. That is hot not.

Being an heiress is normally a mirage, as Christina Onassis can testify to. Have you ever noticed how many pop icons cash in on Jesus story right in their names? Its like peoples minds are like search engines responding either positively or negatively to certain keywords like Paris Hilton. Madonna, the Virgin Mary, Christ Ina Aguilera, Britney Spears, I have a pain in my side, said Jesus. Is that a spear in my ribcage or are you just happy to see me? Jesus Christ was a Jewish Rabbi painted by the Greek New Testament writers with the Godlike qualities of the Greek Goddess Eurynome and Bellerophon and his flying horse Pegasus and several other Greek deities. You can read all about it at The Temple of Love. 20 million Christian and Jewish children lost their lives in WW2 aka The War Against the Jews because according to stories which God of Mount Sinai aka Jesus aka Allah aka Elohim Himself endlessly calls man made legends and fairy tales right in the Holy Bibles, the Jewish people killed this half real half fictitious character 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Humans have a problem separating fact from fiction. At least Paris Hilton is a real person. Ive seen her. Ive touched her. Ive kissed her. Her lips are as candy. Her legs are as ladders.

Sex sells. Paris Hilton was a nobody, an extra in a series of B movies until the videotape of her coiting Rick Salomon in 1 Night in Paris showed up on the internet last year at the same time that The Simple Life debuted. People are fascinated by infamy. Did you know that the male cats penis has spines which point backwards? Upon withdrawal of the penis the spikes rake the walls of the females vagina. The female needs this stimulation for ovulation to begin. Paris Hilton, outraged over the release of the video, raked in $400,000 plus a percentage of the profits of the film which shot her to super stardom. Without that video Paris Hilton is serving cocktails at Studio 54 today instead of dancing on the bar topless with the worlds media murdering each other for a snapshot of Paris Hilton half nude.

Paris Whitney Hilton was named after Whitney Houston because her name wasnt famous enough. During the Aphrodite Festival, the Aphrodisiac, in Corinth Greece, the men had intercourse with the Priestesses of Aphrodite. This was considered a method of worshipping Aphrodite. What did you get for Christmas? In the Holy Eu9/EuBet Temple in Jerusalem the Priests lured the people in with The Temple Prostitutes who lived in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. King Solomon who built the Holy Temple had 900 wives, concubines and mistresses. Compared to him Jesus was a mere piker with his Mary Magdalene and a few of her girlfriends. Do you hear what Im saying girlfriend? At least Paris Hilton is a real person.

Aphrodite was born as an 18 year old Vave Paris Hilton in the Sea off of Cyprus after Cronus cut off Uranus genitals and the elder Gods blood and semen dropped on the Sea where they began to foam. Aphrodite rose out of the foam in her 18 year old birthday suit. When did people become so prudish? Going wild over 1 Night in Paris? 4,000 years ago mating with hookers in the Temple was normal. In Luk88 1879 William-Adolphe Bouguereau painted the Birth of Venus, (Venus was Aphrodites Roman name), which showed the full face on nude 18 year old Aphrodite being born rising from the sea foam. How did Hugh Hefner get to be called risqu? And where did all the paintings and likenesses of Jesus come from? There isnt one single word of description of Jesus in the Holy Bible or anywhere else.

Sex sold religion then and it still sells it today. The Las Vegas Hilton boasts the worlds largest free standing sign, Welcome Idiots. The hijackers on 911 fully expected to hit the twin towers then immediately wake up in eternal paradise with 72 virgins and wine with no side effects, because they read it in their Bible. Lot, the only righteous man in sin city, (Tony the Ant came in second) Sodom and Gomorrah was saved by God and rewarded with wine and sex with his two virgin daughters. Oscar Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas with 85% of the vote was the mobs lawyer who represented Meyer S9BET Lansky, Ace Rosenthal, Tony the Ant and corrupt San Diego mayor Roger Hedgecock to get the job. He recently said on Television, Those who deface freeways with graffiti should have their thumbs cut off on Television. Violence sells too. At least Paris Hilton is real.

Eileen Kramer

«Non mi sono mai sentita vecchia, e continuo ad avere la creatività di quando ero bambina. Sono fortunata, è un dono che ho ricevuto e non voglio assolutamente sprecarlo, neanche per un giorno»

Eileen Kramer, ballerina, coreografa, performer, pittrice e scrittrice australiana la cui carriera ha abbracciato quattro continenti e percorso oltre un secolo di creatività.

Nata l’8 novembre 1914 a Mosman Bay, in Australia, dopo un infanzia difficile con un padre alcolizzato, si è trasferita con la madre a Sidney dove ha studiato musica e canto. Nel 1940, rimasta folgorata da uno spettacolo della compagnia di danza di Gertrude Bodenwieser, aveva capito che quella era la strada che desiderava percorrere. Dopo tre anni di accademia era entrata a farne parte e per dieci anni ha girato attraverso Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Sud Africa e India.

Nel 1953, abbandonata la più celebre compagnia di danza moderna dell’Australia, ha viaggiato alla ricerca di ispirazione e conoscenza.

Ha ballato e dipinto murales a Karachi, lavorato come modella a Parigi e Londra, ha incontrato personaggi famosi come Ella Fitzgerald, Chico Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre e ballato il twist con Louis Armstrong.

Nel 1957 ha incontrato il regista Baruch Shadmi da cui era nato un legame sentimentale e professionale.

Negli anni ’60, insieme hanno realizzato un lungometraggio utilizzando l’animazione stop-motion, girato interamente nel loro appartamento di New York. Quando il suo partner ha avuto un infarto, ha abbandonato la sua arte e per diciotto anni si è presa cura di lui. Dopo la sua morte, nel 1987, Eileen Kramer ha ricominciato a ballare, si è trasferita nel West Virginia e lavorato con una compagnia di Lewisburg per la quale è stata anche coreografa e costumista.

Nel 2013, a 99 anni, è tornata a vivere in Australia. Nonostante l’età avanzata non si è certo ritirata in pensione ma ha continuato a progettare coreografie e a recitare a teatro. Nel 2015, è stata nominata tra le 100 donne più influenti dall’Australian Financial Review e da Westpac.

Nel 2017 ha creato il drama dance A Buddha’s Wife, ispirato dai suoi viaggi attraverso l’India, parte di un lavoro più ampio che celebra la sua vita, supportato dall’Arts Health Institute.

Nello stesso anno, un suo ritratto, The inner stillness of Eileen Kramer, di Andrew Lloyd Greensmith, è stato finalista per l’Archibald Prize. La regista Sue Healey le ha dedicato un corto pluripremiato.

Nel 2019 è stata la più anziana a concorrere all’Archibald Prize con un suo autoritratto.

Nel 2022 ha girato un video in cui danza sulle musiche di David Orlowsky e David Bergmüller.

Ancora cammina bene, qualche volta si aiuta con il bastone, dipinge e continua a fare qualche tocco di danza per il National Institute for Dramatic Art e per altri teatri di ricerca.

Nella sua lunga e intensa vita ha scritto anche dei libri: l’autobiografia Walkabout Dancer nel 2008, il romanzo fantasy The Heliotropians, l’anno seguente, Eileen: Stories from the Phillip Street Courtyard, nel 2018, che racconta le sue avventure bohémien quando condivideva una pensione nel centro di Sydney nel 1930. Nel 2020, durante il lockdown dovuto al COVID-19, ha trasformato la sua vasta raccolta di ricordi in racconti fantasiosi che sono diventati il ​​libro Elephants and Other Stories e partecipato al  film, The God Tree, uscito nel 2021.

Un nuovo libro di memorie, Life Keeps Me Dancing, è stato pubblicato nel 2023. I ricordi della sua vita affascinante e movimentata dalla bohémien Sydney attraverso l’India e il Pakistan, l’Europa e l’America, per poi tornare a casa a Sydney nel 2013, per “i migliori anni della sua vita“.

Eileen Kramer è una donna che non si è mai conformata ai modelli che la società voleva imporle, ha oltrepassato ogni limite e confine, fisico e mentale, continua a seguire il suo flusso creativo fregandosene del tempo che passa. L’età è soltanto un numero, ha un’energia inesauribile e un’agenda piena di impegni. Nelle sue giornate non sembra esserci spazio per il riposo: si divide tra allenamenti e scrittura senza abbandonare neppure la pittura, è una vera forza della natura.

Non sono vecchia, ho semplicemente vissuto più tempo e ho imparato un po’ di cose lungo la strada.
