#fashionista! patricia

[igotmadboogerbreath]

Legendary fashion designer Vivienne Westwood is not a fan of "Sex and the City: The Movie," branding the film's fashion styling uninspiring and "quite dull."

The designer, 67, is name-checked in the film and even created a dress worn by Sarah Jessica Parker's fashionista character Carrie.

But Westwood insists she was far from impressed with stylist Patricia Field's work on the big-screen adaptation of the hit TV series.

She says, "I thought 'Sex and the City' was supposed to be about cutting-edge fashion and there was nothing remotely memorable or interesting about what I saw.

"I went to the premiere and left after 10 minutes."

La chanteuse reste aussi élégante qu'avant

Les procédures diététiques et cosmétiques aident à garder la silhouette d'une actrice miniature (hauteur 165 cm), vers laquelle la star se tourne rarement, mais toujours.  Après 40 ans, Kaas a décidé de se faire refaire le nez.  L'opération a réussi et le nouveau look de l'interprète s'est avéré doux et harmonieux.

 Pour maintenir son poids, la célébrité a recours à un régime éprouvé de cinq jours, au cours duquel elle perd de 2 à 4 kg.  Pendant 5 jours, Patricia ne mange pas de sucreries, de produits de boulangerie et de café.  Elle limite le sel.

Kaas ne se considère pas comme une fashionista, cependant, des publications telles que Allure et Glamour ont qualifié la chanteuse d'icône de style.  Patricia surveille son apparence, ne sort pas sans maquillage.  De plus, selon les rumeurs, l'interprète aurait une collection de chaussures chic.  Mais le chanteur préfère les coupes de cheveux courtes "ébouriffées" aux cheveux longs et au style complexe.

Maintenant, Patricia continue de plaire à la musique de nombreux fans.  Le public aime l'artiste non seulement pour sa voix puissante, mais aussi pour la force de sa personnalité.  Avec dignité, Kaas a également survécu au temps de la quarantaine : elle a tenté d'écrire des chansons pour un nouvel album, agitant ses concitoyens pour qu'ils respectent les mesures de restriction.

“Oh Matthew, there is nothing wrong with wanting to know your past, even years now.” Carl reassured him. “I don’t blame you even after finding out that not only is your deadbeat father alive, but hasn’t even aged a day. This would make anyone want to investigate their own past whether good or bad. You aren’t being paranoid over this.” Carl spoke in a calm and soothing tone. Matthew swallowed his breath, trying to hold back some tears, and just hugged Carl even more. After a while, the two old men finally released each other from their grasp. Carl let out a long sigh. His face still looked uneasy. “I’m assuming you don’t want to tell our children of your discovery yet.” Matthew’s face dropped at Carl’s remark. He shook his head and silently muttered a “no.” No, he wasn’t ready to do that yet. Carl let out one more deep and uneasy sigh. “Okay then. Whatever you want to do about this, then I will support you. I will trust your decision on this matter.” Carl exclaimed. Matthew raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You trust my judgment. “ Matthew asked. A slight amused tone filled his voice. Carl rolled his eyes. “You do make good decisions when you are thinking with a clear head Matthew.” Carl lightly scolded. This caused Matthew to let out a chuckle. “Okay. Thank you love.” Matthew said. Carl gave a small smile. The two then headed back downstairs. They saw their youngest son Gene who still looked a bit frazzled but not as stressed as he was before. “Is everything okay?” Gene asked his dads. Carl nodded and answered in Matthews’ stead. “Don’t worry son everything is fine with us. Just talking some things out. What about you, did you get to Victor in time?” Carl asked. Gene raised an eyebrow at the change of question but said nothing about it. “Well luckily despite having your outbursts dad, Victor didn’t go through with killing Doohickey. I just got off the phone with Tristan. He told me Patricia took his reaction wrong and that Victor was only going to give Doohickey his variation of the “shotgun speech”. He still had Doohickey shaking by the time the others came around.” Gene explained. Matthew looked relieved at that and so did Carl even though Carl looked a bit miffed at Gene’s comment about his own anger issues. “So what are the others planning to do now?” Matthew asked. “Well we talked a bit on the phone and we all decided to settle this whole emotional news now and just come here to talk about it when Emily gets off work.” Gene replied. He then turned to Melina. “You don’t have to stay any longer if you don't want to.” Gene offered. Melina shook her head. “I’ll be fine. You guys may need a pacifist to help quell things with how angry and emotional you guys can get from time to time.” Melina remarked with a teasing tone. Gene huffed, looking offended. “We don’t get angry and emotional all the time, Melina.” Gene retorted back. Melina shook her head in amusement. “You guys do sometimes.” Melina replied. Constance was humming a pleasant tune to herself as she roamed through Fair City’s shopping district. She had a few bags in her hands already. Items that included dead insects for Fluffy, a few care items for her son and daughter-in-law, and a lot of toys and clothes perfectly suited for her granddaughter Charlotte. Constance loved spoiling the heck out of her granddaughter and Fluffy and there was nothing anyone could do to stop her. As Constance hummed to herself, distracted by the thoughts of her precious grand babies, she didn’t notice she was about to bump into someone until she felt a strong oof. Luckily Constance still kept a tight hold on her bags. “Oh I’m sorry I didn’t see you there. I apologize.” Constance hurriedly spoke up. She soon realized she was face to face with a woman wearing gaudy makeup and a leopard print outfit. Constance fought back hard to avoid laughing and tossing her cookies. ‘This woman makes Woody look like a fashionista.” Constance thought. @dualnaturedscientist

Heart of chaos

A year had passed since the B.E.A.W Labs organization had fallen. Since all the events had taken place. Becky being taken along with Bob. The poor girl being experimented on by a cruel scientist who had no love for anyone but himself. Matthew had broken out of the facility with her, Carl and Steven. Gene's true identity being revealed along with losing his Dr.Two-Brains persona. Shocking revelations unfolded. Betrayals and redemption. Things had calmed down significantly since but that didn't mean life had been dull. It certainly wasn't for Fair City. Especially with the villains, heroes and its eccentric inhabitants livening up the city. Becky had been making a wonderful recovery. Though she still wasn't at her full recovery Becky was still making so much more progress than the year prior. Gene still had identity issues, dealing with the loss of Squeaky. Though he didn't go through it alone. The still mad scientist had his family and friends help him through everything. Matthew and Carl took up residency within the city. A house that wasn't too far from their sons. Life in this place was definitely lively and peaceful in comparison to the hellish place many innocent souls were imprisoned in. Matthew was less exhausted than before. Relaxing within the living room in his son's house, watching whatever was put on the television. Matthew felt his eyes beginning to droop. Sleepiness hitting him out of nowhere. He simply allowed himself to doze off, not fighting it. Knowing that he was safe there. It wasn't until he felt weight on him that Matthew opened his eyes. Usually a dog or cat would be the cause for this but Matthew met many eyes. Fluffy had snuck into the house yet again. A small warm smile spread across his facial features, patting the spider on its head. Fluffy leaned into Matthew's hand, making soft happy noises. It was funnily cute to him. Though he understood as to why Gene was so afraid of him. Even Carl was squeamish around the giant spider. “Aw, who's a good boy? You are! You're a good boy!” Matthew couldn't help but baby talk the arachnid. He looked up, wriggling his chelicerae in response. As to say ‘Me! I'm a good boy!’ He chuckled at that, giving Fluffy gentle scritches. It was like a huge puppy in a spider's body. Though the peacefulness was interrupted by a sudden shout. “NO! WHY IS IT HERE AGAIN?!” Gene was in the doorway of the living room. Looking quite terrified at the huge arachnid. Fluffy instantly moved around on Matthew's lap to look at Gene. Excitedly jumping off of the supervillain's lap in favor of his son. He bolted right for the mad scientist, causing him to yelp loudly and make a run for it. “SOMEONE KEEP THAT ABOMINATION AWAY FROM ME!” Matthew gave a small laugh. “Can't help but feel abit rejected there.” Archie, who was quiet until then, responded. “I know that feeling.” This caused Matthew to jump up startled. “Don't do that! I'm old. Also I could accidentally blast you.” Archie blinked in confusion. “You didn't notice me? I came in with Fluffy. He got loose and snuck into the house. I just came to bring him back before he got to Gene. Too late for that now.” Archie frowned. “I can't help but be jealous at how much Fluffy loves him. Though Gene is terrified of him. That spider just won't listen to me when it comes to his favorite person.” He shook his head disapprovingly. “You want me to help you?” Matthew was being genuine with his question. He didn't want his son dying of fright from the giant arachnid. “That would be greatly appreciated. I have to take him back home. He can't avoid taking his medication this time.” Matthew got up, stretching first before doing anything else. This earned him a strange look from Archie. “What? I said I'm old. If I don't stretch I'll pull a muscle.” The hero shrugged. “Let's go get him soon. I have to look after Charlotte as well.” Archie always had the brightest smile when Charlotte was brought up. Either by him, Sunshine or anyone else. It was sweet. “Alright, alright.” They were completely unaware of an enemy observing them. Waiting.

Miss Power growled in frustration at the display she was witnessing through a window to the Boxleitner or rather the Woods household. A display she thought was very disgusting. How badly the alien conqueror wanted to charge right in their and obliterate everyone in her sights. She couldn't do her usual tactics and tricks right now, not after what she learned after coming back. She was still ticked off after that little alien brat Wordgirl and her parents dupe and tricked her into leaving the planet in defeat. There was no way she could go back to her planet and face her people with such a shameful stain to her otherwise brilliant record. Fueled by revenge and hatred, Miss Power spent her time preparing, training, and waiting so she could exact her revenge against those who wronged her, against the little hybrid girl and her freak of a family that humiliated her. Sadly when Miss Power and her loyal sidekick Colonel Gigglecheeks did decide to return, they were not prepared for the recent changes that had happeend in their absence. Miss Power did not care much for this Darius person or B.E.A.W labs, she had seen those like them a dime a dozen before on other worlds. The alien wished she could have congratulated the person who tortured and dehumanized Wordgirl and her sidekick. If it was up to her, Professor Ross Moran would receive high honors among her people for his actions. She did give her condolences at his unmarked gravestone. While the recent trauma Wordgirl and her sidekick have suffered gave Miss Power an opportunistic advantage, the alien conquerer unfortunately could not risk using it especially with her grandfather around. Miss Power was amazed at hearing about the past and recent exploits of Maddrix the Malicious. She was shocked that someone so bloodthirsty and powerful was the father of that scientist who used to have a mouse brain attached to his skull as well as a weird cheese obsession. To her disappointment, Miss Power could clearly see the man was too human and had regretted his actions in the past. Actions that would have made him highly respected among her people despite him being human. Still Miss Power wasn't going to risk striking back while that old coot was still alive. Age did not always equate to weakness according to what she had been taught. Even though he was old, Maddrix was clearly still powerful. It was likely that her and Gigglecheeks would wind up dead by the man's hands before they could claim revenge and victory. A chittering sound snapped Miss Power out of her musings. She turned her head to see her sidekick give her a concerned look. He chittered again and asked 'So what are we going to do?' Miss Power smiled and scratched her sidekick's head which he enjoyed. "Don't worry Colonel Gigglecheeks. We'll get our revenge soon. We just need to learn more about Mr. Malicious and what weaknesses he might have so we can use it to defeat him." Miss Power cooed. She then took her sidekick and flew off without anyone being the wiser. Miss Power was brash and bold and could be tricked sometimes, but she was no fool. The alien conqueror learned long ago that the best way to win your battles was to be prepared and know your enemy more than they know themselves. Carl sighed with relief and slight exhaustion as he sat down in a comfy chair. He had just finished sweeping the floor of his and Matthew's home. Now all he had to do was sit and relax until his husband got home. Carl wanted to try a nice 'mom and pop' owned restaurant that one of Gene's friends, Chuck, had recommended to the man. Carl had been itching to get out and do something more and more recently. If he had to be honest, he was getting bored. In the past, Carl had his job and work as a scientist to keep him occupied along with spending time with his husband and kids. Unfortunately after his 20 year imprisonment, Carl couldn't step in another official science lab ever again without a severe anxiety and panic attack @dualnaturedscientist

HBO’s Sharp Objects and How We View Women

By Prachi Bhatia

Sharp Objects is a 2018 psychological thriller HBO miniseries based on 2006 Gillan Flynn novel of the same name. It stars Amy Adams as Camille Preaker, a crime reporter who comes back to her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri to investigate the murder of two young girls. While in Wind Gap, a lot of Camille’s childhood trauma resurfaces as she meets with her mother, Adora (Patricia Clarkson) who is very well known and praised in town.

No one would even suspect who killed the girls as we progress further in the show. Camille’s alcoholism and her history of self harm mingled with her living under Adora’s roof and having to deal with Amma’s (Eliza Scanlen) nightly adventures kind of leads us astray but when we do get a rough idea that it might be her mother’s sick and twisted ways that lead those two girls to their deaths, we’re met with another shocking twist at the very end of episode 8. If 13 year old Amma’s “don’t tell mama” followed by a quick snippet of her brutally strangling the victims doesn’t send a chill down your spine then you’re truly invincible.

How we, as a society, view women plays a lot into this. They’re seen as fragile, non violent creatures and that even when they are violent, it is never something direct, it’s always a whack in the back, it is subtle, much like poisoning. Their type of violence always appears to be of secondary nature (almost how some of us view women’s issues), quick and barely painful. Through Sharp Objects, Flynn reminds us that women are capable of extreme violence too. When we do get a chance to evaluate someone’s evil, a woman’s exterior is never really questioned. There were a number of times Amma’s behaviour could’ve brought her under suspicion but no one reads into it.

Which raises one very important question. Why are usually only male characters portrayed as these complex, almost impossible to decipher mysterious beings in mainstream media and women, the complete opposite? A female character will be introduced and that is all. She’s immediately an open book, every aspect of her is laid out on a platter then and there when, in the real world, it is believed to be the other way around. This does not mean that men aren’t capable of complex emotions but the exaggeration and the sheer ignorance towards the character development of their female counterparts is honestly getting sort of boring at this point and desperately requires change.

“I’ve grown quite weary of the spunky heroines, brave rape victims, soul-searching fashionistas that stock so many books. I particularly mourn the lack of female villains — good, potent female villains. Not ill-tempered women who scheme about landing good men and better shoes (as if we had nothing more interesting to war over), not chilly WASP mothers (emotionally distant isn’t necessarily evil), not soapy vixens (merely bitchy doesn’t qualify either). I’m talking violent, wicked women. Scary women. Don’t tell me you don’t know some. The point is, women have spent so many years girl-powering ourselves — to the point of almost parodic encouragement — we’ve left no room to acknowledge our dark side. Dark sides are important. They should be nurtured like nasty black orchids.”

— Gillian Flynn

[endlessymphony]

Hello! Can I get a ship? 💖 My name’s Patricia (Patty). She/her. 179 cm tall; dark brown, past shoulder-length hair with bangs; blue eyes (the left eye is mixed with hazel, aka, heterochromia iridium); heptagon face shape with dimples; rectangle body shape. Hufflepuff. INFP-T. Bi-curious. Pisces-Aries cusp sign. ”Looks like could kill you, but is actually a cinnamon roll.” At first, I may come off as reserved, shy, yet polite. I, as many of us, have a resting bitch face, that’s why people may think that I’m in a bad mood. It takes me a lot of time to warm up to somebody, cause I have social anxiety. Hate small talk, or speaking in front of the public. When I’m nervous, I tend to mess up my words or forget what I was supposed to say. I’m usually playful, dirty-minded and goofy around close friends. I’m the so-called, ”fashionista and mom” from my circle of friends. A perfectionist, punctual, over-thinker, slight control/clean freak. Stubborn in some situations. If I’m annoyed or getting impatient, I can say something witty or sarcastic. I’m constantly fighting an inner battle with myself, trying to accept myself. I don’t like to smile or laugh in public, cause of the small gap between my front teeth. I really hate taking selfies or somebody else taking pictures of me. The clothes I wear depends on my mood (and the weather outside), but it’s always a mix of smart casual or comfortable. Don’t like doing things out of my comfort zone, prefer to stay indoors. Dislike asking people for help (it makes me feel uncomfortable). I don’t like arguments, but I will square up if they come for my family or I snapped. I’m a kind-hearted person, always ready to help someone in need, quite modest as well. My hobbies include listening to any type of music, reading, watching movies or tv shows, traveling (if given the chance), and cleaning. Have a thing for writing. Very protective of my family. Divorced parents. Motherly towards kids and friends. An old soul, and the ”black sheep” of my family. A feminist, support LGBTQ+ community. Sometimes I like to try and cook easy recipes. Dislike black coffee, prefer tea or orange juice. That’s it, - thanks!

hiiii patty <3

character - george weasley

i had a lot of fun writing this one, so i hope you like it!

he still remembers the first day he saw you; the way your hair framed your face perfectly, how carefree your laugh was as it filled the air, and just how perfectly your uniform fit you- the golden hues contrasting the varying shades of blues present within your eyes.

it was no secret that george fancied you. it was incredibly obvious to everyone around the two of you, actually. easy to tell by the way that he gazed at you with adoration and longing in his eyes, followed by a shy smile, and the rosiest shade of pink dusting his cheeks whenever fred would pull him out of the trance you placed him under.

hell, just looking at you caused his heart to sputter, practically begging to leap right out of his chest and run over to you screaming ‘hey! guess what! I’m in love with you!’

although everyone else was very aware of his little crush on you, you remained blissfully unaware. never speaking more than a few words to him at once, just a ‘hi, how are you?’ everyone once in a while or a casual ‘did you do the potions readings?’ when he found himself much too busy with prank plans to do the work.

oh, but how he wished he could talk to you. he longed to be the cause of your laughter, or your smile- which he swore lit up any room that you walked into.

with one of the annual hogsmeade trips coming up, fred convinced him that it would be the perfect time to ask you out. maybe just to grab a butterbeer, or for a walk around while the two of you got to know eachother.

george was scared shitless, to say the absolute least.

talking to you? that was hard enough! he thought, he couldn’t begin to image how he would even begin to ask you to be his ‘date’ for the trip.

it took a week and a half for him to even gather HALF of the courage he originally intended to have by the time he would ask you, but fred was getting pushy, and lee insisted that it would go well. so, carpe diem, he supposed.

he decided to ask after potions, but the wait drove him crazy- the butterflies in his stomach multiplying by the end of class, his hands shaking widely as he called your name.

“hey, patty” he hesitated for a second when you looked over at him, his heart doing the same flutter that it always does. “you don’t have a date to hogsmeade or anything, right?”

“depends on who’s asking.” you shoot back at him, a cheeky smile gracing your face as you lean against one of the desks in the now nearly empty classroom.

“i am, and i’m wondering that, uh, well.” george took a minute to compose himself. “if you would want to be my ‘date’?” he put air-quotations around the word, a nervous smile spreading across his lips as he awaited your answer.

your smile grew, “i would love to.”

20 Years After Their Debuts, Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown's Style Still Feels Revolutionary

They found their voice in fashion as much as they did in music.

It started with one hell of an iconic promo shot: Lil' Kim with legs akimbo, serving a come-hither face; squatting unapologetically in heels, a leopard Patricia Field thong bikini, and a sheer, marabou-feathered duster. Just the description of it gives one reason to pause, but actually seeing it was an event. It was a visual prelude to everything her debut album, Hard Core, would be lyrically: sensational, raunchy, and powerful all at the same time.

One week later—arguably the most pivotal seven-day stretch in women's hip-hop history—Foxy Brown released Ill Na Na, her debut album. The cover evinced her signature confidence. It gave us full-on sultry, revealing the crescendo of her perfect breasts in a black, low-cut, spaghetti-strapped négligée. It had been years since women had charted so significantly in rap music. Then, just like that, in November 1996, there were two forces at once.

Lil' Kim and Foxy changed the way women consumed and contributed to the music. Together, their debut albums have sold more than 3 million units in the U.S. alone—unprecedented numbers for ladies in hip-hop. Together, they revolutionized the subculture of hip-hop fashion: one exclusive Gucci dress, one classic Christian Dior belt, one head-to-toe Fendi ensemble at a time.

City sidewalks have long been runways for Black women's exquisite sense of style and carriage. Dressing is part of our cultural identity. Historically denied the opportunity to strut catwalks in the fashion capitals of the world, we turned the streets into a running display of our dopeness. "It's a signifier for self-worth and pride, and that transcends time, no matter when you look at it. We put a lot of intentionality into the way we dress," says Joanne Hyppolite, PhD, curator at the new National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.

As mastermind of the Cultural Expressions exhibit, which highlights our interpretation of fashion, Hyppolite points to generational examples of Black women using our clothing, our hairstyles, and our accessories to create an outward expression of self-love that has belied the oppression we've endured. "If you're dressing, no matter what condition you're under, no matter the circumstance, you're showing how you value yourself. It says, 'I'm somebody. I'm something,'" she adds.

THEIR FASHION CHOICES PUSHED BEYOND STANDARD, ATTENTION-GETTING SEXINESS TO COMMAND POWER IN A MALE-DOMINATED GENRE, IN A MALE-DOMINATED INDUSTRY.

It's a cultural tradition inherited by Kim and Foxy, two girls from Brooklyn who both found their voices in fashion as much as they did in their music. Their styles, different even from each other, were a departure from those of their legendary predecessors—like Queen Latifah, who rocked African-print garb; MC Lyte, who represented around-the-way-girl sneakers and jeans; and Salt-N-Pepa, who made shiny spandex and leather a definitive trend of their time.

They were even more of a contrast to the baggy-jeaned outfitting of label mates and group members who juxtaposed their alpha-male masculinity against Kim and Foxy's tough-but-girly personas. As the only females in their crews, their fashion choices pushed beyond standard, attention-getting sexiness to command power in a male-dominated genre, in a male-dominated industry. Just as importantly, they made Black women visible to high-end fashion houses who weren't observant of our style hegemony until Kim and Foxy forced them to pay attention.

"People are attracted to energy. Some could have judged Kim and Foxy harshly, but the fact of the matter is they created an energy that was taking over. Everybody wanted a piece of it," Misa Hylton, the legendary stylist who created the look for Lil' Kim's jaw-dropping bikini pose and began styling Foxy Brown when she was still a teenager, says. "It was a magic that happens every so often. They came up in a time when the sound of music was changing and evolving into something new. Hip-hop culture was spreading, and fashion houses and high-end designers became interested in them. They saw them as trendsetters and they saw value in them from a marketing [perspective]."

Foxy celebrated the beauty of her mahogany skin as the self-professed "dark-skinned Christian Dior poster girl," boasted about being "dripped in Gabbana," and did a campaign for Calvin Klein, starring in billboards as big as the pride of the Black girls who saw themselves in her likeness. Kim, too, had her model moment, posing for Louis Vuitton in an ad that was canceled but memorialized instead by photographer David LaChapelle, with an image of Kim wearing nothing but a skin-tone cap and the Louis Vuitton monogram imprinted all over her body, an image that's far more famous than the original shot likely ever would have been.

In aligning themselves with names that are synonymous with wealth, opulence, and impeccable design—Versace, Gucci, Fendi, Armani, Moschino—each woman became a superstar of '90s style. "These women had a lifestyle that was introduced to the world and people bought into it. Music and fashion became something that you had to be a part of and know about," Hylton says. So as technology changed and fans and fashionistas were able to more quickly access images and videos, they were also better able to interpret what Kim and Foxy wore for themselves, editing as necessary.

It's important to honor Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown the women, even as we celebrate Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown the hip-hop artists, inadvertent feminists, and archetypal style-makers. Both are blessed with radiant self-confidence that permeates their public images, and both ooze a natural charisma that commands all-eyes-on-me attention. A woman pretty much has to possess copious quantities of both in order to strut across the stages of packed-out arenas in string bikinis and floor-length minks, neon wigs, and fishnet bodysuits. Their use of fashion was part of packaging an image, but it was also a celebration of their liberated womanhood: the ability to wear whatever, be whoever, and own it for themselves.
