What I'm Reading - Vacation Edition

What I’m Reading – Vacation Edition

That stack of books is just part of what I read on vacation last week. Chris and I also listened to a couple Audible books including You Are My Sunshine by Sean Dietrich which I reviewed here, and Down and Out in Paradise : The Life of Anthony Bourdain by Charles Leerhsen. While we loved You Are My Sunshine I can not say the same about the book about Anthony Bourdain. Maybe I wasn’t ready to hear…

vedic astrology observations pt 2

in my previous post i had briefly talked about how moon influence, cancer rashi, jupiter influence tend to give the natives a large chest and make them very curvy. ill expand more on that here:

Pushya (cancer rashi) stellium (sun, rising and venus) Selena Gomez is known for her generous curves

Hasta sun, Pushya moon + mars native Monica Bellucci is known for her luscious curves

Punarvasu sun & moon, Sofia Vergara is blessed with a big bosom

Vishaka moon, Pushya mars & rahu, Hasta jupiter & saturn Beyonce made it cool to be curvy back in the day

Punarvasu moon, Penelope Cruz

Punarvasu moon, Mariah Carey

Purvabhadrapada sun & mercury, Alexandra Daddario

Milana Vayntrub, Purvabhadrapada sun & rising

2. Serpent Yoni is present in the charts of most seductresses/femme fatales/sex symbols. Nakshatras associated with snakes, like Ashlesha, Rahuvian nakshatras (rahu is linked to serpent), UBP etc are also commonly found in the charts of many sirens 🐍

Rohini sun, Angelina Jolie. Her atmakaraka is her mercury in mrigashira

Mrigashira moon, Jennifer Lawrence (she also has Ashlesha sun)

Natalie Portman, mrigashira sun

Megan Fox, venus in mrigashira atmakaraka (moon in ashlesha)

Margot Robbie, swati moon (rahu is associated with snakes) and has venus in rohini

Parveen Babi, Mrigashira moon

Urmila Matondkar, saturn and ketu in Mrigashira

Sridevi, ashlesha stellium (sun, rising and venus)

Mila Kunis, sun in ashlesha, moon in swati

Marilyn Monroe, sun & mercury in rohini

Pola Negri, a silent era sex symbol, rohini mars and ketu in ashlesha

Theda Bara, the first ever sex symbol had UBP rising

Clara Bow, the woman because of whom the term "it girl" was coined, had venus in mrigashira atmakaraka

Snakes have long been associated with mysticism, hypnotism and evil. A seductive woman can put anyone into a trance and make them lose their mind and forget the reality they inhabit, similar to how a snake charmer can make a snake twist and turn according to their will by playing certain tunes, a highly magnetic woman can get anything she wants by channelling her inner serpent.

3. Homewreckers, Mistresses and Concubines

Camilla Parker Bowles is probably one of the most famous mistresses in the modern era. She has Punarvasu sun & mercury and is Pushya rising

Monica Lewinsky has Pushya sun & Punarvasu mercury

Angelina Jolie has Pushya venus & rising, along with Saturn in Punarvasu amatyakaraka

for those of you who don't know, Ben Affleck cheated on JLo with Jennifer Garner and then married her. JGarner has Ketu in Pushya whereas JLo is a Pushya moon

Tom Brady left his pregnant wife to marry Gisele Bundchen, who has Pushya sun and Punarvasu mercury

Blake Shelton was still married to Miranda Lambert when he started seeing Gwen Stefani who has Punarvasu moon

Madhuri Dixit, in perhaps her most iconic role, plays a courtesan named Chandramukhi in the movie Devdas. She has Pushya moon conjunct Jupiter

its pretty well known that Priyanka Chopra had an affair with the much married Shah Rukh Khan (not the first time she was accused of being a mistress) PC is Punarvasu sun & mercury

Marlene Dietrich who was best known for playing femme fatale- esque, mistress-y roles had Pushya moon

I was very surprised to find Punarvasu and Pushya nakshatras crop up so often as they're often considered to be the "goody good girls" but perhaps this is what makes them so desirable to men, so much so that they're ready to wreck and ruin their lives, careers and marriages to chase these women. I had mentioned in another post about how since Cancer is the most feminine sign, women with these placements are often considered the ideal wife/gf and I suppose this is the shadow side to that. Desirability is a double edged sword and must be wielded carefully. obviously i dont condone cheating nor am i making it sound like a positive thing but i thought it was an interesting recurring pattern nonetheless!!

Qtopia announces The Loading Dock theatre season

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/qtopia-announces-the-loading-dock-theatre-season/

Qtopia announces The Loading Dock theatre season

The Qtopia Sydney Queer Centre of History and Culture has announced the 2024 Season Program for The Loading Dock theatre which will run from April until December.

Qtopia Sydney lead curator Carly Fisher said Qtopia was “proud to be showcasing five world premieres, two NSW premieres, three shows that have completed a development this year and four shows touring from other parts of the country,” in announcing the program.

“We have stories that take place far overseas, deep in regional Australia, and [even] a story that takes place on our very block of Darlinghurst.”

First cab off the rank will be Toy Symphony by Michael Gow which is playing at Qtopia from 18-27 April.

This multi-award winning play is described as a “wrestle between the bastardry of being an artist and the sheer exhilaration of the creative act itself.”

Throughout the month of June, Qtopia will be home to Pride Fest and will showcase limited runs of exciting works from Australian artists including cabaret, drag, theatre and more.

From 3-6 July The Loading Dock will host Stage Fright Ein Kabarett – a comedic homage to Marlene Dietrich by Jude Bowler accompanied by Frankie Bouchier.

Expect mash ups of Dietrich originals with 20th century artists from Prince to Lou Reed.

Then from 10-27 July, acclaimed playwright Noelle Janaczewska brings The Past is a Wild Party to Qtopia.

This performance essay draws on influences from 19th century poet Amy Levy to the lesbian pulp fiction of the 1950s to mine the personal and historical power of lesbian representation.

Daniel Cottier’s Occasional Combustible Disaster comes to The Loading Dock from 31 July-10 August and is billed as a “hilarious and heartbreaking play [examining] the fallout inevitable in all nuclear families.”

Music returns to Qtopia with Little Triangle’s A Gay Escapade from 21-31 August which will celebrate the LGBTQIA+ experience through the works of gay American composer John Kander (Cabaret, Chicago) and his lifelong creative partner Fred Ebb.

Throughout September The Loading Dock will function as the Queer Hub for the Sydney Fringe Festival and promises to be an inclusive and welcoming haven for artists and audiences where diverse queer communities can be celebrated.

Then from 9-19 October The Queens City Of The South by Mark Salvestro will explore the dark queer history of the Cooma Gaol which was used as a prison for homosexual offenders from the 1950s before the decriminalisation of homosexuality in NSW.

Set in 1997, Penpals: A New Queer Musical (pictured) follows the story of Callie and Pearce, two young women on opposite sides of Australia who fall in love over the mail after they are brought together through a school program.

Written by Megan Robinson, organisers say this new Australian musical will have you “laughing and crying as it explores the heart and heartache of young queer relationships” during its theatrical run from 23 October to 9 November.

Saints Of Damour by James Elazzi is playing from 13 November to 1 December and is an epic story of love, migration and identity unfolding over decades and continents beginning in 1970s Lebanon where Pierre and Samir fall in love just as civil war breaks out.

Rounding off the 2024 theatrical season at The Loading Dock is STUCK by Kikki Temple from 4-14 December.

Fresh from a successful run at Midsumma, this bold new work explores what happens when a transgender woman and a neo-nazi find themselves trapped together in an elevator and the conversations they will be forced to have while they await rescue.

2&10 for unpublished fic asks, fic(s) of your choosing

I apologize in advance—I know Stranger Things/Harringrove isn't really your fandom, but right now, When the Waters Start to Cross is taking up almost all the air in my writer brain, so that's what I'm answering for...I suspect you understand the feeling 😂

2. How did you get the idea to write this?

I answered that question here!

10. If unpublished, can you show a sneak peek of what you've written?

Ooo, excerpt time!

For context: this is just after the weekend of the Snow Ball (end of S2). Steve and Billy have spent a couple of nights together, Billy's confronted his father and been violently kicked out of the house, Steve has rescued him from something nasty in the woods, and Billy's refused to stay with Steve, instead lashing out at him and leaving him alone. They haven't seen each other since Sunday morning; Steve's gone to school largely in hopes of finding Billy there.

---

“…said she rounded a corner and found them there. Just like that! In public and everything.” The voice is sticky-sweet as the bubblegum the speaker is audibly chewing. “God, it’s like he has no shame.” Steve, about to close his locker and head to class, pauses at the sound of Laurie Henderson’s voice. The associations are hardly unpleasant—she’d taken him down like a pro at a party a year or so ago, her long hair sleek beneath her fingers as she proved her tongue nimbler even than Nicole’s—but they haven’t spoken in a while.

“She told me that at first she thought Megan’s dad had just got himself a hooker,” Amie Dietrich puts in, and Steve’s brain once again throws up images—seven minutes in heaven, awkward wet kisses and fumbling in a darkened closet, new-grown breasts soft beneath his hands—

“He was on his knees, y’know, and all she could see was the hair.“ Laurie again, then a pause, as she presumably gestures, and the girls all giggle at the image. “But then she noticed his ass in those jeans, and she knew.”

Steve knows, too, in that moment—knows without a doubt who they’re talking about. He shouldn’t listen, it’s not his business—and yet the draw is irresistible, and he finds himself busying his hands, tidying a shelf, dropping a sheaf of torn-out notebook pages covered in red ink, letting them flutter to the floor like so many dead leaves.

“Knew what? That it was him? Or that he was hooking? Because I’m not sure she’d be smart enough to put it all together,” Amie snarks. Steve’s gut does a flip-flop—of course, it makes sense. He can practically hear Billy’s voice, I’ll figure something out—

“He does have great hair, though.” Laurie’s voice, thoughtful. “Almost as good as Steve Harrington’s. I’d thought about going out with him just to see if he’d tell me what shampoo he uses.”

“I went out with him a couple of times,” Beckie pipes up. Beckie Collins, who’d been so insatiable she’d tired him out, who’d looked up at him with a tear-streaked face as she’d begged him to pull her long black hair as he fucked her—he ducks, as much to hide his expression from passersby as to pick up the pages—

“You’ll go out with any guy who’s got two legs and a car,” Amie points out, a casual swipe underpinning the friendly jibe.

“Mmm, one of the legs is optional, if it’s a nice enough car,” Beckie responds, thoughtful. “But that’s my point. I was right there, I was down for it. First time he completely blew me off, said he didn’t do shit on the first date—“

“God, what guy doesn’t even try for first base?” Laurie’s voice, presaging another flurry of giggles as Steve scoops up the papers. “…and then the next time, like, he touches me? But then we’re making out, and I swear he was the least enthusiastic kisser I’ve ever met. So I climb up into his lap—not easy in a Camaro—and start grinding my hips a little, you know, trying to get the party started. And I swear, not a twitch.” Another short pause; Steve can picture the way she’s mock-shuddering. “So I’m like, hey, do you need a hand there? And he gets all flustered and tries to make out like it’s my problem, all ‘guess it doesn’t like needy bitches’.” Her voice does a mocking imitation of Billy’s growl. “I should’ve known right then and there he was a—“

The warning bell rings, drowning out the end of Beckie’s story, vibrating against the slight flutter in Steve’s gut. He shoves the papers into the back of his locker and slams the door—only to come almost face-to-face with Laurie and her side ponytail as she rounds the corner, Amie’s feathered hair and and Beckie’s curls in tow behind her.

“Morning, ladies.” He pastes on a grin, hopes it doesn’t look as sickly as he feels, as the green vinelike thing slowly unwinding in his gut feels. Watches as their carefully-made-up faces grow similarly artificial smiles, hothouse flowers carefully cultivated. “Any big plans for Christmas break?”

They look at him a moment, then at each other; then they giggle, that strange ambiguous sound girls make that could be in appreciation or in condescension. “You always did have a lot of nerve, Harrington,” Amie comments, but Laurie flicks a hand, and they go quiet as she gives Steve a once-over. He keeps his smile in place, posture firmly casual, and awaits her judgement.

“King Steve,” she finally says, voice almost a purr. “Been a long time since you said boo to us. Thought you were all about that brainy Nancy these days.”

The name sends a pang through Steve, which he covers up with a toothy grin and an open-armed gesture. “Psh, Nancy’s old news. And I’m no longer King, remember?” Steve gives an eyeroll, exaggerating the movement, conveying how little it all means to him before he drops his arms. “Just plain old Steve Harrington.” He gives a quick once-over to the group to see how he’s being received; Amie, aloof, won’t meet his eyes, but Beckie returns his smile.

Laurie is still eyeing him, chewing her gum (grape Bubbilicious, mingling with her perfume—Yves St. Laurent, maybe?) thoughtfully. “Well, Plain Old Steve Harrington, we missed you at Kristie’s party last week.”

“Yeah,” Beckie puts in, suppressing a snicker, “Hawkins parties aren’t the same without taking bets on who’ll be seeing King Steve that night.” She flicks her gaze boldly to his crotch before moving it back up to his face, and the other two laugh, not entirely unappreciative.

“Now, now,” Steve says, posing slightly under their attention, “I have it on good authority that Hawkins has a new king. I’m sure he’d be happy to provide you an evening’s entertainment.”

Amie only titters. “Maybe if he were interested,” she says, meaningfully, and the three of them laugh as they sail past into the rapidly-emptying hallways. Or two of them do—Laurie trails behind, still eyeing him speculatively.

“What can I do for you?” He keeps his voice smooth, but he’d be lying if he claimed that the attention wasn’t a nice change from his recent pariah status.

“Just wondering which Steve Harrington is the real one. The one who acts like he owns Hawkins High, or the one who haunts the hallways from the sidelines?”

Steve sidles a little closer—not looming over her, but getting intimate, enough that he can put a hand against the locker and lean in. “I guess that depends. Do you prefer the Steve who gets with girls at parties? Or the one who babysits a bunch of nerdy kids?”

Her smile grows a little wider. “I wonder which one we’ll be seeing this week?”

He lets his grin grow pointed. “I guess we’re both going to find out.”

Her smile drops, but she looks smug, her calculations having come to a satisfactory conclusion. “Should be interesting.” An expert rollaway, and she’s walking down the hallway, leaving a trail of artificial grape and Opium in the air behind her. “See you soon, Plain Old Steve Harrington.”

Steve stands there, looking after her, for just a moment—until the tardy bell rings, and he sees that the halls have emptied around him.

Ai/愛-Intro

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I’m Alice or in short Ai. It also means “love” in Mandarin /Japanese and apart from that, it’s my real name’s initials.

Well, there is not much to talk about me. I enjoy music and books, I have a super cute ragdoll cat named Afu. I have an unique taste in music - I would listen to Lana, Taylor for hours and then suddenly switch to Megan.

Not to mention that my preference in movies/series are also pretty distinctive: historical, sci fi, documentary, non fic. This apply to my book genre likewise.

I don’t have if any, real life crushes. But nonetheless my favorite historical figures are Leni Riefenstahl, Joseph/Magda Goebbe1s and Marlene Dietrich.

I’m also a casual artist, I draw sometimes, and my art style isn’t fixed yet since I always want to try something different. (I do digital)

And yet you probably already know me through my other pretty “famous” blog @alice1940s , however I only post mostly Goebbe1s content there, this one-this one is different.

Pronouns:She/her
