BROADWAY DIVAS SUPERLATIVES: Bosom Buddies - Icons Only
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes, yes, there are so many iconic friendships on and around Broadway (Bernadette and Mary Tyler Moore, especially), but this time there's no "other" option.
Video Clips & Stories Beneath the Cut: More Polls
Angela Lansbury & Beatrice "Bea" Arthur: Angela and Bea first met in 1965 during rehearsals for the production of Mame, in which Angela played the titular Mame, and Bea her "bosom buddy" Vera. Both women would earn Tony Awards for their iconic, never-to-be-bested portrayals. They remained lifelong friends for the next five decades until Bea's death in 2009, where Angela hosted her memorial service at the Majestic Theatre. As the story goes, Angela's legendary Jessica B. Fletcher is named "B" for Bea.
"She was a class act and a real joy to work with. When I first met her I thought I was meeting this patrician, classically trained actor, but she has a mouth like a longshoreman. No kidding. She loved telling dirty limericks." - Bea Arthur on Angela Lansbury, 2003.
youtube
Ann Reinking and Bebe Neuwirth: Forever linked by dance and the great Bob Fosse, Ann and Bebe met in passing during the special 3,389th performance of A Chorus Line, but would not come to know each other closer until Sweet Charity, where Annie took over Charity for Debbie Allen during the run, and Bebe played Nickie (Tony Award). They remained dear friends until Annie's death in 2020, working together in Fosse, and of course, the 1995 revival of Chicago that persists to this day.
ā€œI fell in love with her, I continued to fall in love with her. I am in love with her forever. There was a trust between us, there was a connection between us that was beyond anything that had any logical explanation. I felt sometimes--this may sound strange, but itā€™s the truth--I felt sometimes I looked in her eyes and I time travelled.ā€ - Bebe Neuwirth on Ann Reinking, 2021
youtube
Carol Burnett & Julie Andrews: Though they may have never starred in an official Broadway show together, Carol and Julie are too iconic to pass up here. They met in 1961 and are both still alive, kicking, and enduring friends. They did a series of television and stage specials together, including Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall (1963, Emmy Award), Julie and Carol at Lincoln CenterĀ (1971) andĀ Julie & Carol: Together AgainĀ (1989). They also both starred in Putting it Together as the part, one after the other. And as a story goes, Carol and Julie were "caught" kissing as a prank on their friend Mike Nichols, but were instead discovered by Lady Bird Johnson.
"As we sat in the darkened hotel hallway on the sofa in front of a bank of three elevators waiting for him, we started to feel rather foolish, and we thought 'Letā€™s do something to make him laugh.' We decided to pretend we were making out," she said at the time. "Heā€™d called our room and said he was coming right down, so we thought, well, the first person off the elevator would be Mike. But it wasnā€™t." - Julie Andrews recounts the story to Oprah magazine.
youtube
Chita Rivera & Gwen Verdon: Before there was Annie and Bebe, there was Chita and Gwen. The original Velma and Roxie duo in the 1975 Chicago, Chita and Gwen remained friends until Gwen's death in 2000. As Chita recounts, Gwen Verdon was the first person to tell her she had her own talent and didn't need to be her understudy. Years later, they were starring together in Chicago. Chita and Gwen shared the role of Charity (alongside many others) in the benefit concert production of Sweet Charity in 1998. It would be Gwen's final stage appearance. Though Fosse brought his own drama, Chita and Gwen never fell out.
"Our relationship was what it was from the day I stood beside her in ā€œChicago.ā€ She was a strong woman. She was private. She used to, which is really kind of cute because I would call her on it, sometimes dramatize a story and would say, ā€œIsnā€™t that right, Chita? Donā€™t you remember that?ā€ And I wasnā€™t even there. I would find myself saying, ā€œYeah, absolutely.ā€ She was so terribly funny, really, really funny." - Chita Rivera on Gwen Verdon, 2019
youtube
Donna Murphy & Marin Mazzie: Donna and Marin met while doing the Passion workshop in 1993, and their friendship endures to this day, despite Marin's death in 2018. After all, "and should you die tomorrow, another thing I see: your love will live in me." Marin sang at Donna's daughter's christening. Donna sang at Marin's remembrance concert. She still writes her memorial posts to Marin each year on the anniversary of her passing. Donna played Mother in the earliest workshop of Ragtime, before Marin took over and made that role what it will always be.
"She would always be the first person to say "how are you doing?" That kind of kindness and selflessness in a way--it's not that I didn't appreciate it then--I really did. So I don't need to smack myself in the head and say "why didn't you realize how rare and beautiful it was?" I did. What I couldn't calculate was how much I miss it." - Donna Murphy on Marin Mazzie, 2018.
youtube
Kelli O'Hara & Victoria Clark: Our first and only mother-daughter duo, though who is mother and who is daughter is up for debate. Kelli and Vicki met playing mother and daughter in the 2005 The Light in the Piazza as Clara and Margaret Johnson. They remain dear friends to this day and the only pair alive, well, and not dangerously close to death... Kelli and Vicki, trained opera singers, also reunited for Dido and Aeneas in 2016. Their friendship has survived a few awkward situations, such as being up against each other (alongside fellow Piazza star Celia Keenan-Bolger, and that's a story in and of itself) for the role of Nellie Forbush in South Pacific.
"I just started calling her Mother, because I felt like I could be who I was without covering up. Why she called me Mother back is pretty obvious, but she was, for me, always the rock. I felt like,Ā Okay, she loves me, warts and all. Hopefully." - Victoria Clark on Kelli O'Hara, 2016.

List of Valentino Rossi books and documentaries:
inspired by @pgaslys list of marcā€™s docs
šŸ“š Books
What If I Had Never Tried It [English/Italian/Spanish/German/Japanese/Chinese, etc.]: Valeā€™s only autobiography to date, translated into a lot of languages (so many that itā€™s hard to keep count). The English edition is notoriously rough - think spelling mistakes and some lost-in-translation moments. Despite this, yellow fans absolutely shouldnā€™t miss out on this gem. Published in 2006, during Valeā€™s zenith with five consecutive championships under his belt, the book radiates his happiness and confidence. The narrative is casual, with chapters loosely connected, but you will still find pleasure in reading this book.
MotoGenius: the Valentino Rossi biography by Mat Oxley: Oxley remains my all-time favorite Rossi author! Initially published years ago, the latest edition is available on Kindle. Itā€™s a treasure trove of Vale anecdotes and Oxleyā€™s unique insights, offering a glimpse into how Vale captivated his generation.
The Valentino Rossi Files: Everything Iā€™ve ever written about VR by Mat Oxley: Available on Kindle, this collection (in two parts) encapsulates all the articles Oxley wrote about Vale for magazines and newspapers before joining Motor Sport Magazine.
Valentino Rossi: The Definitive Biography by Stuart Barker: A comprehensive biography of Vale, chronologically organized.
Valentino Rossi: Il Dio del Motociclismo by Fabio Fagnani [Italian]: Not recommended as the authorā€™s fan-like admiration making it read more like a love letter than a biography. The only saving grace is the interview with Aldo Drudi.
Valentino Rossi: All His Races by Mat Oxley [English/German/Japanese/Serbian]: Chronicles every race of Valeā€™s career, enriched with exclusive interviews.
šŸŽ„ Documentaries
When asked about a movie about himself, Vale said, ā€œIf itā€™s a bad movie, Iā€™d rather it didnā€™t exist.ā€ He holds a similarly cautious stance towards documentaries, and has never personally produced a documentary about himself, though perhaps that might change at some point in the future.
Faster (2003) : Premiered at the Festival de Cannes during MotoGPā€™s golden era, this documentary intriguingly portrays the rivalry between Vale and Max Biaggi.
The Doctor, the Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid (2006) : Focuses on the 2005 season, especially the US Grand Prix, you can see the beautiful yellow livery of Yamahaā€™s 50th anniversary.
Fastest (2011) : A sequel to Faster.
Hitting the Apex (2015) : Arguably the best MotoGP documentary out there. Vale and Marco riding into the sunset to ā€˜Wish you were hereā€™ is a poignant moment.
Valentino Rossi: The Doctor (2016) : Produced by Monster Energy, primarily illustrating how Vale expanded his empire step by step.
Racing Together (2017): MotoGP history isnā€™t complete without its greatest icon, Vale features for about 15 minutes.
Valentinoā€™s Secret Room: Inside the Doctorā€™s Hidden Archive (2020) : Produced by Dainese, revealing Valeā€™s personal collection.
Ruta 46 ā€“ Ruta 93: El camino de dos mitos (2021) : Produced by DAZN EspaƱa, unfortunately I havenā€™t seen it yet ā€“ if you have, let me know how it tells the tale.
Tales of Valentino (2021) : A nine-episode documentary series produced by Dorna, showcasing different aspects of Valeā€™s career through nine significant races.
RiVale | Valentino Rossi as Told by His Rivals (2021) : Produced by DAZN Italia featuring Valeā€™s main rivals (except Marc), sharing their stories with him.
Rossi | BT Sport Documentary on the Career of MotoGP Icon, Valentino Rossi (2022) : Produced by BT Sport following Valeā€™s retirement, highlighted by Suzi Perryā€™s captivating hosting style.
MotoGP Unlimited (2022) : No need for a lengthy introduction ā€“ itā€™s probably already been watched by everyone by now.

Kpop stan Twitter hates them. Sena is talentless tweets hitting crazy numbers. Jiah deactivated her Instagram account. #BaebiGoSolo has trended for three days now...They had ONE chance.
VENUS entered 2021 mad as hell with their second full album, "I AM VENUS," which included the title track "I AM. "I AM was a commercial success in South Korea and topped the Circle Digital Chart for six weeks. It also reached the top ten in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The song has been certified platinum for streaming in South Korea. It also received four PAKs and nine music show wins.
DazedĀ ranked it 19th among the 50 best K-pop tracks of 2021,Ā andĀ GrammyĀ named it one of the 15 K-pop songs that defined 2021.
The group would repeatedly go viral for their performances of I AM as the girls were either emotional while performing the song or they were in platformed heels. For the first time in their career, Chloe was able to look people in the eyes during the music show interviews. Though the heels were a hit, they raised concerns for fans as there were multiple instances of the girls twisting their ankles or falling during performances because of them. Either way, iconic.
Tumblr media
The platformed heels Venus wore during the promotions of I AM. These are the ones on displayed at the Angelico Artist Muesum. The group wore a total of 36 different pairs of heels for this era.
Their repacked album "VENUS, I AM." would come shortly after I AM VENUS with the title track "DIVE". Before the song's release, the teaser images for VENUS, I AM would go viral for their unique concept and artistic expression.
Tumblr media
The teaser images used for "VENUS, I AM." under the creative direction of LEXA.
The album debuted at number one on the weeklyĀ Gaon Album Chart and also topped the monthly chart, selling 544,339 copies in its first month of release. It has since been certifiedĀ triple platinumĀ by theĀ Korea Music Content AssociationĀ (KMCA) for surpassing 750,000 units.
TĆ”ssia Assis fromĀ NMEĀ gave DiveĀ a 4 out of 5-star rating, describing the track "Dive" as "the definite, luxurious plunge. " Despite being "more subdued" than the group's previous album, "I AM," it is a "chaebolĀ crush" that matches the extravagance and confidence that defines VENUS. UproxxĀ named it one of The Best K-Pop Albums of 2021.
The hate train finally seemed to slow with the ever-mounting success the girls were receiving. It's not like the girls had enough time on their hands to even really focus on the hate. They were always working on something. That next something would be their 6th mini album, "Illusions," followed by a title track of the same name.
Upon its release,Ā IllusionsĀ was praised byĀ music criticsĀ for increasingly showcasing all members' vocal abilities with "trendy" production. IllusionsĀ was a commercial success in South Korea and charted in Japan and the United States. It debuted atop South Korea'sĀ Gaon Album ChartĀ on the chart.Ā Overall, it ranked seventh on the Gaon's 2021 year-end album chart.4 WallsĀ debuted at number thirty-nine on Japan'sĀ Oricon Albums Chart, andĀ it peaked at number one on the USĀ BillboardĀ World Albums Chart, becoming Venus' second number one on the chart following 2019'sĀ Love Simulator.
Illusions was primarily beloved for its "multidimensional" concept and music video. In the video, the girls were trapped in a time loop, and the song restarted midway through the eight-minute video, signifying that the viewer was also in the time loop with them.
Tumblr media
Stills from the "Illusions" music video. Creative direction by LEXA.
The girls would close out the year with the summer classic "Summer Luv!" and a title track of the same name. When I tell you this song was massive, it was huge. Love Simulator was finally overthrown as Venus' most-known song because you could not go anywhere with Summer Luv'ing.
GQĀ KoreaĀ named "Summer Luv!" its Song of the Year in the magazine's November 2021 issue. In December,Ā IZMĀ listed the song as one of its top 10 singles of the year.Ā DazedĀ ranked the song at number two on its 20 Best K-pop Songs of 2021.Ā The song landed onĀ Billboard's 20 Best K-Pop Songs 2021 list at number four. Melon ranked it number 15, whileĀ Rolling StoneĀ ranked it number 13 in their lists of the greatest K-pop songs of all time, with the latter publication praising its production and hailing it as the epitome of "summertime fun, adventure, and romance."
Summer Luv! would win the girl's Song of The Year at the 2021 MAMA Awards and the Best Dance Performance ā€“ Female Group award. They would go on to win the Digital Daesang at the Golden Disk Awards and Song of the Year at the Korean Music Awards.
Tumblr media
Some of the various wigs and hairstyles were worn by Venus during their Summer Luv! Promotions. Gif style inspired by @pickmedolls !
The Summer Luv! era was not only defined by success but looks as well. The girls would wear different wings at nearly every stage, mixing up their styles and colors while "giving their scalps a much-needed break," as said Chloe during an interview. The girls would go through seventy-five wigs between the five of them, with a fraction of them, the most iconic ones, being displayed at the Angelico Artist Museum.

SHINee āœØ CLASH Magazine (August 2023) FULL Interview ā†’ HERE
Tumblr media
As humans weā€™re constantly evolving; how have the membersā€™ identities shifted since the release of ā€˜Donā€™t Call Meā€™ (2021), and how is this change reflected on ā€˜Hardā€™? KEY: After ā€˜Donā€™t Call Meā€™, Iā€™ve personally gained more confidence, and had the opportunity to experience many new things. With that said, I feel honoured and grateful to have received even more love. TAEMIN: I decided to give myself a break and not to be so hard on myself. I wanted to focus more on the feelings of happiness and the positive energy that people give me from recognizing my work instead of contemplating what Iā€™m lacking and overanalyzing my shortcomings. And because I was able to take a different approach and attitude toward this album, I was able to enjoy this promotion and feel more comfortable. MINHO: I feel that we took another step forward through ā€˜Donā€™t Call Meā€™ and also showcased a new side to SHINee with our eighth full-length album. I do want to express that we havenā€™t changed after ā€˜Donā€™t Call Meā€™ ā€“ Iā€™d word it that weā€™re continuously growing and evolving.
Tumblr media
I watched videos taken from the latest concert ā€“ SHINee World VI ā€“ and could hear how much fans enjoyed your older tracks and watching you enjoy performing them. Recently, On MBC Worldā€™s I Live Alone, however, Key was looking back on the difficulties of performing such songs as four members, and I wondered when that feeling began to ease and the members grew to love performing their classics again. ALL: Being SHINee allows us to share our past, present, and future vision together. Although itā€™s not always easy, we hope that those who watch our performances never feel a gap or emptiness. The unwavering support and love from our fans have been instrumental in helping us recover and strengthen our bond with them. Weā€™re truly grateful and fortunate, and always genuinely wish for our voices to reach the skies and the heavens when we sing.
Tumblr media
The words ā€˜iconsā€™ and ā€˜legendsā€™ get thrown around too easily these days but SHINee really are both. Does it seem real for you, especially as youā€™re still an active, progressive group? Do you ever consider the bandā€™s legacy and what youā€™d like that, ultimately, to be? KEY: I believe that weā€™re currently shaping SHINee ourselves. I feel that it wasnā€™t wrong for us to try to create and shape our own path and, actually, Iā€™m curious about where this journey will lead us to in the end. MINHO: Rather than focusing on a specific end goal, weā€™ll always strive to fill our days with happiness alongside our members, staff, and our beloved fans. But Iā€™m always grateful for the compliments we receive, and although it may feel challenging to live up to those descriptors, weā€™ll make it happen. TAEMIN: One of my juniors once said to me, ā€˜I feel like idolsā€™ careers are extending because you continue to be active. Thank you.ā€™ Hearing those words made me feel proud because it seems like weā€™re pioneering something, and when I see friends who consider me as their role model, it also helps me release all the built-up stress inside of me. Because of that, I feel a sense of motivation, I want to work even harder to inspire people, and I hope SHINee will be remembered as a group that continues to shine and remains in peopleā€™s hearts for generations to come.

Down The Road (F1 x Reader) SMAU Season 1
>> Down The Road š™ˆš™–š™Øš™©š™šš™§š™”š™žš™Øš™©

Taglist: @raizelchrysanderoctavius , @laura-naruto-fan1998 , @jpg3 , @tsukishimawhore , @minkyungseokie , @roseseraj , @bbhyuneee , @omgsuperstarg @roseseraj (If you want to be added in this fic, just tell me in reply )
A/N : I got huge inspiration after reading Zendaya's definition of Hunter Schafer in the 2021 TIME100 NEXT, and I vowed to include this scene in my fic. LOL, Time Magazine practically became the main plot for this Episode. I'm putting a lot of effort into every detail, so if you like it, don't forget to like and reblog
Episode 4 will be the final part of Lewis Hamilton. After this, the series will move on to a new season with new storyline and new main characters. Stay tuned for Season 2 of the "Down The Road" series!
note ; As you can see, I want my SMAU to be as realistic as possible. So there will be both positive and negative comments from F1 fans. Just to show you that the social network has people with various attitudes, not everyone has a positive attitude.

The year 2024 started with a lot of news and a lot of rumors, especially for Formula 1 drivers. Y/N, in particular, has had to deal with a great deal of attention since last year when she made it clear that her goal was to clinch this year's championship. This has subjected her to considerable pressure, not only from her performance on the track but also regarding her personal life. The rumors about her relationship with Lewis Hamilton don't seem to be fading away easily; in fact, they are growing more intense with time.

The year 2023 is coming to an end, confirming Max Verstappen as the new world champion of the year. He secured a memorable victory at the Qatar Grand Prix, considered one of the toughest F1 races this year. There were several tense moments on the track, with one of the most talked-about incidents being the collision between Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, teammates, resulting in missed opportunities for both to be on the Podium
However, two other drivers who have made a lasting impact this year and are worth mentioning are Oscar Piastri and Y/N YLN, the two rookies in the world of Formula 1. They have consistently impressed in various races and are closely watched by experts as potential contenders who could challenge Verstappen for the championship title in the near future.

@LewisHamilton on @Y/N #TIME100Next :Ā 
I truly believe anyone lucky enough to meet Y/N will feel the immense light that is constantly radiating from her. She makes everyone in her orbit feel seen. Iā€™ve had the privilege of watching her tap into every facet of her courage as a girl driver in Formula 1, and I am lucky to call her one of my special ones. Her ability to solve on-the-spot problems, compete in a male-dominated industry fearlessly, and continuously set impressive records is truly remarkable. Additionally, her beautiful heart, honesty, and selflessness, which are rare qualities in the world of Formula 1, leave me so impressed that I'm at a loss for words.
Y/N is so special in so many ways that I could go on forever, but this truly is only her beginning. There is no limit to the wins she will create.
Hamilton is a seven-time Formula One world champion

Lando Norris shared a new photo on Instagram wearing friendship bracelets made by Y/N, symbolizing their strong friendship as friends from the same academy who are now both Formula 1 drivers.

Fans noticed that @Charles_Leclerc was seen wearing friendship bracelets made by @Y/N at the #BahrainGP after he commented to her on Lando's Instagram last week, saying he wanted friendship bracelets like Lando too.
Some fans view it as a lovely relationship between Formula 1 racers, while others have pointed out the incident when Lewis Hamilton's accidental sharing of a photo of him wearing friendship bracelets on his Instagram Story. and compared it to Leclerc and Norris, suggesting that the rumors about Y/N dating Hamilton are trivial.

This year's Bahrain Grand Prix Formula 1 race was exceptionally intense and special, with the special appearance of two Latin pop stars, ƚrsula and Shakira, both of whom are currently rumored to be romantically linked with Formula 1 racers, Y/N and Lewis Hamilton.
What makes this even more interesting and complex is that Y/N and Hamilton were previously rumored to be in a romantic relationship with each other before they seemingly drifted apart last year. Now It seems like both of them have moved on to new romances, especially considering the clear distance they've maintained throughout the competition, and the arrival of both pop stars further solidifies that they are each embarking on new relationships, closing the door of romantic rumor between the two drivers once and for all.
However, the new relationships might not be smooth. According to insiders, Shakira herself has been rumored to be nurturing a romance with another star, Tom Cruise. While ƚrsula and Y/N have rumors circulating that they had an argument before the female singer flew back to Los Angeles the next day, maybe both Y/N and Hamilton are more suitable to be single than in a relationship with someone? What are your thoughts? Feel free to leave your comments!

Everyone is saying that Miles Bron is a parody of Elon Musk. I admit I thought the same thing when I saw it in theaters back in September. I mean Musk had engaged in the hostel take over of Twitter, then he backed out, and at the time he was weeks away from being forced to buy a thing he did not want a price it was not worth. So stupid right? That was also when I realized he didnā€™t found Tesla, he just bought it with daddyā€™s apartheid money. Oh this guy is a fake, and Miles is a fake. Such a great take down.
Except it wasnā€™t. Rian Johnson wrote Glass Onion in the spring of 2020, the same time the film is set. Ed Norton brought Miles to life in September of 2021, months prior to Musk starting to buy Twitter. Miles Bron goes beyond a prediction for Elon Musk. Look at the company, Alpha which owns Alpha Cosmos, Alpha Car, Alpha Shop, etc. Does that remind you of Alphabet - Googleā€™s parent company, or Amazon with all the companies it owns, or maybe Apple. And thatā€™s the point right? The magazine photo of MilesĀ ā€˜findingā€™ the napkin is a parody ofĀ  Steve Jobs in his iconic black turtleneck. Many people think of Steve Jobs as a this tech genius, but the real genius at Apple was Steve Wozniak. Jobs was just good at making you think he was a genius.
TL:DR Miles Bron is not a parody of Musk. He is a parody of all of them, of Jobs, of Musk, of Bezos, of all the ā€œtech geniusesā€ that under the hype are just so stupid.

More than a decade after the advent of the 3D-printed gun as an icon of libertarianism and a gun control nightmare, police say one of those homemade plastic weapons has now been found in the hands of perhaps the worldā€™s most high-profile alleged killer. For the community of DIY gunsmiths who have spent years honing those printable firearm models, in fact, the handgun police claim Luigi Mangione used to fatally shoot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is as recognizable as the now-famous alleged shooter himselfā€”and shows just how practical and lethal those weapons have become.
In the 24 hours since police released a photo of what they say is Mangioneā€™s gun following the 26-year-oldā€™s arrest Monday, the online community devoted to 3D-printed firearms has been quick to identify the suspected murder weapon as a particular model of printable ā€œghost gunā€ā€”a homemade weapon with no serial number, created by assembling a mix of commercial and DIY parts. The gun appears to be a Chairmanwon V1, a tweak of a popular partially 3D-printed Glock-style design known as the FMDA 19.2ā€”an acronym that stands for the libertarian slogan ā€œFree Men Donā€™t Ask.ā€
The FMDA 19.2, released in 2021, is a relatively old model by 3D-printed-gun standards, says one gunsmith who goes by the first name John and the online handle Mr. Snow Makes. But itā€™s one of the most well-known and well-tested printable ghost gun designs, he says. The Chairmanwon V1 remix that police say Mangione had in his possession when he was arrested in a Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonaldā€™s varies from that original FMDA 19.2 design only in that another amateur gunsmith, who goes by the pseudonym Chairmanwon, added a different texture to the gunā€™s grip.
ā€œFor someone who has been building firearms like this for five years, itā€™s a bit of an odd choice. Weā€™ve been building nicer models,ā€ says Mr. Snow Makes, who hosts an annual ghost gun shooting competition. But he adds that ā€œthis is one of the earliest 3D-print Glock styles that was widely tested and successful at creating a reliably functional firearm.ā€
Authorities in New York charged Mangione on Monday in the December 4 murder of Thompson, alongside weapons charges and other alleged offenses in Pennsylvania. A handwritten ā€œmanifestoā€ police say they found on Mangione's person upon his arrest laments UnitedHealthcare's practices and the US health insurance industry more broadly. Bullet casings discovered at the scene of the shooting outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan were reportedly emblazoned with the words ā€œdeny,ā€ ā€œdefend,ā€ ā€œdeposeā€ā€”likely criticisms of health care industry practices.
The fact that even a relatively old model of 3D-printed firearm allegedly allowed Mangione to shoot Thompson repeatedly on a Manhattan streetā€”certainly the most high-profile shooting ever committed with a ghost gun or a 3D-printed weaponā€”shows how far DIY weapons tech has come, says Cody Wilson, the founder of the gun rights group Defense Distributed. Unlike the earliest 3D-printed gun models, the FDMA 19.2 can be fired hundreds or even thousands of times without its plastic components breaking.
ā€œIt just speaks to the ease with which you can do this,ā€ says Wilson. ā€œHe doesnā€™t have to be an expert at 3D-printed guns or shooting, and it all works.ā€
Despite its simple description by law enforcement and others as a ā€œ3D-printed pistol,ā€ the FMDA 19.2 is only partially 3D printed. That makes it fundamentally different from fully 3D-printed guns like the ā€œLiberator,ā€ the original one-shot, 3D-printed pistol Wilson debuted in 2013.
Instead, firearms built from designs like the FMDA 19.2 are assembled from a combination of commercially produced parts like barrels, slides, and magazinesā€”sometimes sold in kitsā€”and a homemade frame. Because that frame, often referred to as a ā€œlower receiverā€ or ā€œlower," is the regulated body of the gun, 3D-printing that piece or otherwise creating it at home allows DIY gunmakers to skirt gun-control laws and build ghost guns with no serial number, obtained with no background check or waiting period.
The FMDA 19.2 model, released by a group originally known as Deterrence Dispensedā€”a gun-building group initially inspired by Wilsonā€™s Defense Distributed but now widely seen as a rivalā€”was distinguished by its use of commercially available ā€œrails,ā€ the metal components that guide the upper part of the gun known as its slide, which retracts with every shot, resetting the trigger and loading a new round into the chamber. (In a widely circulated video of Thompson's murder, the gun allegedly fired by Mangione appears not to have functioned as a semiautomatic. That's a result of the suppressor attachment preventing its re-chambering mechanism, gunsmiths say.)
The FMDA 19.2's relatively simple tweakā€”the use of commercially produced metal rails instead of homemade onesā€”led the gun model to be considered the most practical and reliable 3D-printed Glock design available at the time it was released three years ago. ā€œThere had been earlier Glock-style pistols, but the interior rail components were not as refined,ā€ says Mr. Snow Makes. ā€œItā€™s kind of that perfect blend of 3D-printed frame and precision rails.ā€
Deterrence Dispensed, the group behind that FMDA 19.2 design, has since rebranded under the name ā€œthe Gatalog.ā€ But the groupā€™s original website still bears the libertarian gun rights slogans that summarize its ideology. ā€œAll individuals are entitled to the utility to defend their humanity,ā€ the site reads. ā€œGun control has failed. You canā€™t stop the signal.ā€
A founder of Deterrence Dispensed who went by the named Jstark, later revealed to be a now-deceased German man named Jakob Duygu, was featured in a 2020 Popular Front documentary wearing a black balaclava and sunglasses. ā€œWe want people to have freedom of speech and the right to bear arms," he says in the film. ā€œIf thatā€™s too politically extreme for you, fuck yourself.ā€
Just two months ago, one Bergen, New York, man who allegedly acted as an administrator for the Gatalog named Peter Celentano was arrested and charged with illegal ownership of two machine guns and numerous 3D-printed and other homemade handgun and AR-15 components.
Exactly why Mangione allegedly used a 3D-printed gun in the killing of UnitedHealthcareā€™s Thompsonā€”whether as a political statement or in the belief that it would help him evade identificationā€”remains far from clear. But as a coder and technologist, he may have been attracted to the idea. ā€œThis is the US. Itā€™s not the easiest way to get your hands on a gun,ā€ says another DIY gunsmith who spoke to WIRED but asked not to be named, in reference to 3D-printed firearms. ā€œBut heā€™s a techy guy, and he may have just owned a 3D printer. It wouldnā€™t be a bad way to make an untraceable gun.ā€

*Note: This post isn't about if this Ken in the Barbie movie is going to be queer but that he is inspired by a Ken doll that "accidently" became a queer icon. Ryan Gosling's Ken in Barbie(2023) is based on the famous best selling Ken doll, Earring Magic Ken, also know as Fey Ken or Gay Ken.
"Mattel had conducted a survey of girls asking if Ken should be retained as Barbie's boyfriend or whether a new doll should be introduced in that role.Ā Survey results indicated that girls wanted Ken kept but wanted him to look "cooler". USA TodayĀ noted after the American International Toy Fair that the doll Soul Train Jamal was also wearing an earring that year.Ā According to manager of marketing communications for Mattel, Lisa McKendall, "We tried to keep [Ken] as cool as possible."Ā This generation of the Ken doll had blondĀ highlightsĀ in his traditionally brown hair and was dressed in a lavender mesh shirt, purpleĀ pleatherĀ vest, a necklace with a circular charm and, as the name indicates, an earring in his left ear.
These clothing choices led to gay commentatorĀ Dan SavageĀ joking that Mattel toy designers had "spent a weekend in LA or New York dashing fromĀ raveĀ to rave, taking notes and Polaroids." He also suggested that little girls' idea of coolness was shaped by homoerotic MTV music videos, Madonna's dancers, and what ACT UP/Queer Nation members were wearing to demonstrations and parties.Ā Donna Gibbs told theĀ San Francisco ExaminerĀ in November 1993 that the team of (presumably straight) women who made the doll were surprised that gay men wanted him.
[...]
In July 1993, Dan Savage wrote an article on Earring Magic Ken titled, "Ken Comes Out." He noted in his article that, in addition to his outfit's perceived flamboyance, his necklace resembled chromeĀ sex toysĀ that queer people were wearing as charms at the time. Savage expressed feelings of ambivalence about Ken's new style, writing, "Queer Ken is the high water mark of, depending on your point of view, either queer infiltration of popular culture or the thoughtless appropriation of queer culture by heterosexuals [. . .] Queer imagery has so permeated our culture that from rock stars (Axl Rose and his leather chaps) to toy designers, mainstream America isnā€™t even aware when itā€™s adopting queer fashions and mores."
[...]
Kitsch-minded gay men responded to this press by buying the doll in record numbers, making Earring Magic Ken the best-selling Ken model in Mattel's history.Ā The doll debuted in stores for around $11 (equivalent to $20.63 in 2021) and had completely sold out by the Christmas season, largely due to gay men buying the doll in droves.Ā Due to high demand, Chicago's FAO Schwartz created a wait list, and, allegedly, some shops in San Francisco began to sell Earring Magic Ken for prices ranging between $17 (equivalent to $31.89 in 2021) to $24 (equivalent to $45.02 in 2021).Ā (The latter claim was disputed in the Bay Area Reporter in October 1993 by the general manager of San Francisco FAO Schwartz.Ā According to him, only a few gay men were coming into his store, and Earring Magic Ken was selling better in New York and Chicago than San Francisco.) Earring Magic Ken was also popular with gay men in the United Kingdom, and sold well at the toy shopĀ HamleysĀ in 1993.Ā Toy scalper Mr. Barger told theĀ Wall Street JournalĀ in 1996 that Earring Magic Ken was so popular that he was able to re-sell him to specialty shops at premium prices.Ā Richard Roeper, writing for theĀ Chicago Sun Times, referred to him as "TheĀ Cabbage Patch DollĀ of the summer of '93."
A major appeal of the doll for many gay men was that Mattel did not market it to them on purpose. Rick Garcia, director of Chicago's Catholic Advocates for Lesbian and Gay Rights, toldĀ PeopleĀ magazine in 1993 that the stereotypical dress was funny to him because he believed it was an accident, and that it would have offended him if it was purposeful.Ā In 1993, many newspapers interviewed individual gay men in California to understand the phenomenon. San Francisco resident described Earring Magic Ken as, "a pariah setting foot in one of America's sanctuaries."Ā Another California resident, Bill Harley, described Earring Magic Ken as, "A campy, funny thing to have."Ā Laguna Beach resident Keith Clark-Epley had more reservations about the toy, saying that, "It's an uptight heterosexual male doll following gay fashion and who is still behind the times," and believed that calling the doll gay could potentially reinforce negative stereotypes about gay people."

The 28th Amendment?
After a long silence, Sleeping Beauty's social media seems to be (somewhat) back to life, with this story:
Tumblr media
This is part of a national public awareness and lobby campaign organized by a US NGO, Equal means Equal, aiming to promote the formal inclusion of a 28th Amendment (the Equal Rights Amendment) in the US Constitution.
This is the current state of play: what is needed, according to Equal means Equal, is a final push, in order to make something started in 1972 a reality. This state of play is unthinkable, to an European, by the way: gender equality became effective on our ravaged, postwar continent for many reasons, including the most practical you could think of. Those are usually related to voting rights, the acknowledgement of women's contribution to the war effort, the economic and social reconstruction process and even a faux-equalitarian ideology, like in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union (loudly promote gender equality, but at the same time, take away any legal guarantee and protection of private ownership of anything, from houses to shops to banks).
Tumblr media
The final push for success is a public appeal to POTUS to act on it, launched as a side event at the New York FOCUS Art Fair, a contemporary art rendezvous' with a strong Gen Z flair:
Tumblr media
C is a part to this event with a signed copy of Reserved, an independent media outlet with a clear progressive flair and all the bells and whistles of a Gen Z future icon:
Tumblr media
I was particularly intrigued by this: 'Once a magazine, Reserved has evolved into an annual hardcover print edition collectorā€™s item'. It immediately made me think of one of my favorite things in the art world, Franco Maria Ricci's FMR Magazine (https://www.francomariaricci.com/en). A mythical thing, the stuff of legend - to each generation its own, I suppose.
Time to make an important point, though: the Reserved copy up for silent auction was not donated by C herself, but by Jules Wood:
Tumblr media
Meet Jules Wood, editor-in-chief of Reserved andĀ fashion director of Ellen von Unwerth's VON Magazine :
Tumblr media
Pretty much sure this is an old acquaintance, too.
In the couple of hours since I began writing this post, bidding started from 500 USD and has now risen to 2000 USD, thanks to a generous soul, who wishes to remain Anonymous:
Tumblr media
You don't say. Anonymous, huh?
Cue in the Stans who will surely bitch it's 'just her US friends' (primarily BIF barking and/or Anon being dropped in Fascist inboxes in 3, 2, 1...) But hey, we have a different view, don't we?
And it's quite alright.
PS: Pics in that Reserved copy are taken from C's photoshoot for Ellen von Unwerth , sometime before June 2021:
