The funniest thing is watching people cling to articles with no real credible sources that Jikook spent no time together in Japan and stayed in seperate hotels and ate alone. LMAO then left to go to another town and spend no time together. Disptach literally said Jikook were going together to shoot a documentary TOGETHER. We know that is not the real reason, but there is no way in hell they are gonna set Jikook up in different hotels, just for them to meet up to film whatever it is they need to film. How fucking dumb are you people? Insecure jikookers, antis and tkk are all losing their fucking minds and making up scenarios at this point to explain away Jikook's gayness. Acting like while JK is filming a performance for a show, that Jimin can't sight see. Clinging to articles with no real confirmation, making up scenarios about it being only for work. Laughable to think they would not be at the same hotel. They are fucking bandmates what would be the big fucking deal. They have always stayed at the same hotel. So suddenly since they travel together alone, its different? Don't make me laugh. Of course they stayed in the same fucking place. What a bunch of braindead desperate idiots you are. NEWSFLASH. JIKOOK ARE QUEER and their company is gonna protect them. They literally gave them a show so they could spend some ALONE time together before enlisting and they are.

Just say you're on the edge of jumping cause. in the last few months back back you been hit with.

Letter (featuring JK with romantic lyrics)

NY/CT/Silver Day (just the two of them)

JK's Jimin lives (focused only on JM not your fav)

The Bed live between Jikook & Jk begging him over.

Tokyo (alone trip)

Sapporo (alone trip)

Jeju (Vminkook trip)

Busan Chuseok (ALONE whale drawing together/boating)

Jk watching all of Jimin's content, singing all of Jimin's songs. Not watching your fav.

JK alone White Day spoiling Jimin's songs 4 hours, when he could have been with your fav while Jm was out of town.

Jikook's Tokyo trip being called "Real Love" and they coincidentally returned there TOGETHER during the anniversary month of GCF Tokyo.

Jk's brother posting a pic of what looks like Jimin's hand during family game night and got y'all so insecure y'all wrote a whole desperate wattpad about matching floors/walls with Tae's wall picture and Jk's brothers floors & that TK must have eat together at JK's brother house, only for Tae to actually be standing at a golf course posing and the golf course gave a shout out to Tae.

And the Granddaddy of all. JIKOOK ENLISTING TOGETHER CAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE WITHOUT EACHOTHER. When your fav could have enlisted with Jk, like you dumbasses believed for years.

Taennie pictures, Taennie videos. Taennie in Jeju. Taennie in NY together. Taennie in Paris together holding hands. Tae in Jennie's bed. Taennie wearing matching Jewelry and couple shirts. Jennie slapping y'all with pictures shutting down cosplayer theories.

I mean, at this point, go ahead and jump bitch. Leave, don't come back. There is nothing for you here. Your ship is not nor has it ever been real. You are staying to troll & for attention cause you're all pathetic lifeless losers. You know you have nothing left. You are here to prove Jikook is not real, so we can sit in the same miserable sunken boat as you, but we never will. PERIOD. You are all on your own.

AND THAT'S ON PERIODT

Come what may, they never stop loving eachother

No matter my opinion, your opinion, their opinion.

They are the cause of eachother's euphoria 💜

NOTHING CAN ERASE THAT

NOT A THEORY

NOT FAKE NEWS

NOT MS.

Tar-Telepta, Aran Morinórea (Quenya for “[royal-honorific] Silver, King of Mordor”)? For ny silvergifting addiction (seriously your wips are all so interesting!!!)

I’m not entirely certain when they started calling me that, actually. Annatar used to be known here as Tar-Mairon, not Tar-Glóriel, but… it was sometime in the first decade of our marriage, I think. He did crown me in silver, and he wears his jewelry (and often his hair, nails, and ambient light) almost exclusively in gold.

Honestly? I think he just liked the pun with my name and the framing it created, of us as a matched set; and people wanted a royal title for me. Personally I thought it was funnier watching our people (used to all the flowery honorifics Annatar likes) having to call me by my bare name, but I can’t get everything I want.

Before the outbreak, Beau Clary was just about one of the most charming fellas you could hope to meet in a place like New York City; he was raised on the notion of southern hospitality and helping thy fellow neighbor, and even after gaining more fame and fortune than a small-town boy like him knew what to do with, Beau never let it warp his attitude or his ego or make him forget his roots. Hard-working and helpful, he was always the first to lend a hand. And, to be fair to him, he still is, but it isn’t quite the same. He’s hardly a shell of the exuberant, social creature he used to be; where most nights would have previously found him mingling with other residents of the Wexley or heading out to any of the countless bars or clubs studding the streets of the boroughs, lately he’s become enough of a recluse that he mostly only comes when called unless there’s work to be done. To most, he appears aloof and detached - a defense mechanism to keep from letting anyone too close - but to those he trusts, glimpses of the Beau that once was still remain in fleeting smiles and occasional warm, rumbling laughter. In truth, he’s soft and sensitive at heart, and where he used to wear as much as a badge of honor in a sport that previously defined toxic masculinity, in this new world, it appears to be a crippling weakness and one that Beau has tried desperately to stifle and hide away.

biography.

Beau Clary was born in a small town in rural Alabama where the number of stoplights could be counted on one hand, everybody knew everybody else’s family, and twice a year, the local high school had a drive your tractor to school day. There wasn’t a whole lot to do growing up, and when Beau wasn’t at school or helping tend to his family’s land and animals, he was playing pickup games with friends out in wide, open fields, quickly proving himself to be a natural at football. Despite the limited opportunities available for someone like him - and they were few and far between in a town nestled so far below the poverty line and nearly forgotten by the rest of the state - Beau was determined to make something of himself and get out of Alabama. He channeled this energy and determination into the sport, excelling on his high school team and garnering the praise and encouragement of local coaches and faculty. In his senior year of high school, Beau’s dedication finally paid off. Even out in the middle of Nowhere, Alabama, there were universities sending out talent scouts. He’ll never forget the way his mama cried and hugged him the day she found his acceptance letter from Clemson in the mailbox - she didn’t even wait for him to get home to open it, and she was waiting at the door when he walked through because, in her words, her baby got a full ride! With his tuition covered and his degree paid for, Beau was able to focus all of his energy on honing his skills at the sport. At Clemson, Beau continued to shine on the field, becoming a dominant force in the league and a leader amongst his teammates. When he wasn’t on the field, he was studying for any number of his horticultural science courses - academics did not come naturally to him in the same way athletics did, but Beau worked hard to ensure he maintained a respectable GPA the entire time. He was well-liked by his peers and his educators, a friend to everyone who happened to cross his path, and in the end, his limitless positive karma and perseverance paid off. His success on the field coupled with his natural charisma and leadership skills caught the attention of NFL scouts and, when draft day came, Clemson University running back Beau Clary was selected in the first round by the New York Jets. He drove back home after that to spend a few weeks back home in Alabama before flying out to New York to get settled in his new place before he left. A photo snapped by a sports photographer at the airport of an openly-crying Beau hugging his mother goodbye achieved viral status after it was shown on ESPN, and from that moment, his name became a household one and his life was never the same. 

Despite the pressure and public scrutiny that came from being such a high draft pick, Beau seemed to thrive in the world of professional football. The chaos and cacophony of the city were certainly something to get used to, but Beau quickly acclimated - or, if not, he made enough trips home and flew his family out to the east coast enough that he was able to keep grounded in an overwhelming concrete jungle. The next several years were spent working hard and playing harder and he’d been in the middle of an incredibly successful — and potentially Super Bowl worthy— season and it could be argued that Beau was in the prime of his career - and his life - when the outbreak hit New York. The explosion of the entrance to the Wexley was, in a sick, twisted sort of way, the perfect visual representation for the tumult of emotion that accompanied such catastrophic panic and grief. His entire world was in shambles, and it took significant convincing from those closest to him not abandon his apartment for a foolishly suicidal mission to get back home to Alabama — to his family. He did, however, make two separate trips to try and find his partner, the man he'd been beginning to grow serious with just before the outbreak ; both trips to his apartment were met with disappointment, and no evidence whether he was dead or alive. Not knowing only made it worse. Winter was long and hard, and though Beau could often be seen around the Wexley, coming out of the woodwork wherever work needed done to lend a quiet hand, he’d frequently slink back to his apartment without a word once the work was done, keeping to himself. He grieved the loss of a family he feared he’d never know the truth of, nursed the guilt of knowing that if they were gone, it was in part because he’d not been there with them. He hadn’t been there to help them, to protect them. 

On December 23rd, when rock bottom opened up like a giant chasm beneath the Wexley — quite literally beneath it, in the basement — and Mr. Wexley encouraged everyone to abandon the building in light of the newly-chompified residents and return once it was safer, Beau was among those staying behind and forced to evacuate. In the chaos, he tried to help anyone else he came across in his own pursuit to safety, and he and the few people he could find holed up in a bodega not half a block down from the Wexley that had been ransacked but appeared secure — save for two chompers that Beau managed to dispatch with the aid of another survivor to secure the premises. When he finally returned, it was to devastation and grief — it seemed inescapable these days. He dove headfirst into cleaning up what he could of the physical mess left behind by the chaos, his body and his mind itching for busy work. He just needed to keep himself occupied, focused. Distracted.

headcanons.

Beau still writes letters to his family back home - at least one a week, but often even more - even though he knows he’ll never be able to send them or receive one back.They've been collecting in an old shoebox, but it's starting to fill up as of late.

He was the second-ever active player to openly come out as gay in the NFL, and his decision to do so was divisive amongst fans, but his team was unwaveringly supportive.

Beau was in a somewhat serious relationship before the outbreak, and he’s not seen his partner since it all began. He’s made two reckless and dangerous attempts to visit his apartment, but he’s found no evidence that he’s alive or dead aside from his cat, alone and unfed — and somehow, not knowing what's happened to him is worse.

He’s got a section of his smaller, open floor plan of apartment - he had to downsize when he moved to the third floor from the tenth level - filled with the two things that make him happiest - his family and nature. He’s tended to a number of houseplants as best he can in spite of everything, and the walls are covered with photos of his parents and siblings, cousins and friends.

Instead of the usual biography, I felt like the following poem captured the energy of the past a bit better than I could ever express:

INSOMNIAC

THE night is only a sort of carbon paper,

Blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars

Letting in the light, peephole after peephole --

A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things.

Under the eyes of the stars and the moon's rictus

He suffers his desert pillow, sleeplessness

Stretching its fine, irritating sand in all directions.

Over and over the old, granular movie

Exposes embarrassments--the mizzling days

Of childhood and adolescence, sticky with dreams,

Parental faces on tall stalks, alternately stern and tearful,

A garden of buggy rose that made him cry.

His forehead is bumpy as a sack of rocks.

Memories jostle each other for face-room like obsolete film stars.

He is immune to pills: red, purple, blue --

How they lit the tedium of the protracted evening!

Those sugary planets whose influence won for him

A life baptized in no-life for a while,

And the sweet, drugged waking of a forgetful baby.

Now the pills are worn-out and silly, like classical gods.

Their poppy-sleepy colors do him no good.

His head is a little interior of grey mirrors.

Each gesture flees immediately down an alley

Of diminishing perspectives, and its significance

Drains like water out the hole at the far end.

He lives without privacy in a lidless room,

The bald slots of his eyes stiffened wide-open

On the incessant heat-lightning flicker of situations.

Nightlong, in the granite yard, invisible cats

Have been howling like women, or damaged instruments.

Already he can feel daylight, his white disease,

Creeping up with her hatful of trivial repetitions.

The city is a map of cheerful twitters now,

And everywhere people, eyes mica-silver and blank,

Are riding to work in rows, as if recently brainwashed.

— Sylvia Plath

AESTHETICS

Repugnant amount of weed smoke filling a suspension-lacking 1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, that only a 100% masochist would drive in New York. You were not born to cry. Leopard print BB belts stacked on the waist. A soul, emptied. No pride, no pleasure, no desire. Life is just like a Wong Kar-Wai movie. You've got two fists comically full of metal, the weight shifts you off your feet when that punch is thrown, your poorly welded home-made 'rings' -- made from a chunk of all the old silver jewelry you've collected from the bodies over time, all these precious keepsakes melted onto a fork -- made to hurt -- should be illegal. Lots of little projects like that scatter what you call 'home'. An angel dies every time a shitty fuckboy like you flashes his mid-section in local Bodega for no reason. Recently adopted a Belgian Malinois, Osiris, who is still in training and needs a muzzle (an excuse for enabling bad behavior, could be symbolic). Egregiously loud mumble-rap. When stressed, likes watching ballroom dancing while chainsmoking cigarettes.

Hi, I'm Samuel, 24, PDT, a sweet little Californian baby boy who will do tricks for treats, gee whiz am I glad to be here. All of this is a bit vague but will be fleshed out with time -- if you've got any questions on specifics I'd be super happy to clarify. Huzzah !

NYC’s Best-Kept Secret: Experts in Antique Silver and Diamonds Buyers NYC

New York City, a vibrant tapestry of history and contemporary allure, whispers secrets of bygone eras within its bustling streets and hidden corners. Among these secrets lie forgotten treasures, tucked away in attics, basements, and forgotten drawers: antique silver and diamonds, waiting to be rediscovered and cherished once more. But navigating the world of antique sales can be daunting. Where do you start? How do you ensure fair value for your precious pieces?

A Legacy of Silver: From Shimmering Spoons to Exquisite Platters

Antique silver, a timeless testament to craftsmanship and elegance, holds stories within its intricate patterns and polished surfaces. Whether it’s a tarnished tea service inherited from your grandmother or a forgotten silver chest unearthed from a dusty attic, each piece whispers tales of family gatherings, celebratory feasts, and generations past.

Unveiling the Value:

· Hallmarks and Makers: Look for markings on your silver, often hidden on the underside. These hallmarks denote the maker, date, and silver purity, providing valuable clues about its age and origin.

· Condition Matters: Age and wear are natural, but extensive damage or missing parts can affect value. Pristine pieces, however, command higher prices.

· Rarity and Design: Unique pieces, especially those with historical significance or artistic merit, can fetch higher prices.

Diamond Buyers in NYC: A Timeless Sparkle, an Enduring Value

Diamonds, nature’s glittering testament to brilliance and resilience, have captivated hearts for centuries. Whether passed down through generations or unearthed from a forgotten jewelry box, these precious stones hold the power to evoke memories, celebrate milestones, and symbolize love’s enduring flame.

Understanding the 4Cs:

· Cut: The cut determines the diamond’s brilliance, fire, and scintillation. A well-cut diamond will sparkle with captivating intensity.

· Clarity: The presence or absence of internal flaws affects the diamond’s value. Flawless diamonds are the rarest and most valuable.

· Color: Diamonds range from colorless to yellow, with colorless stones generally commanding higher prices.

· Carat Weight: The size of the diamond, measured in carats, is a significant factor in its value.

Selling with Confidence: A Smooth and Rewarding Experience

Selling your antique silver and diamonds can be an emotional and sometimes confusing process. Antique State Buyers understands this and is committed to providing a stress-free and rewarding experience:

LADY GAGA PERFORMS WITH THE ROLLING STONES IN TOPO STUDIO NY

Last night, music history was made as Lady Gaga joined the iconic rock legends, The Rolling Stones, for a surprise performance at the grand launch of their album "Hackney Diamonds." The event was already brimming with anticipation, and Gaga's unexpected appearance elevated the evening to a legendary status. Not only did she deliver a stunning vocal performance, but she also took the fashion world by storm with her sartorial choice.

Gaga, renowned for her avant-garde style, didn't disappoint. She not only wowed the crowd with her vocal prowess but also showcased her impeccable fashion sense, paying homage to the rock 'n' roll era that The Rolling Stones have so brilliantly embodied over the years.

She arrived wearing a custom-made jumpsuit and lavalliere scarf by Topo Studio NY. With a single long sleeve and a daring plunging V-neck, the asymmetrical sequin jumpsuit exuded the essence of confidence and boldness. It also flared dramatically at the legs, allowing Gaga to move freely as she belted out the hauntingly beautiful "Sweet Sounds of Heaven".

What truly set Gaga's ensemble apart was the striking design: one side was adorned with glistening black sequins, while the other featured a dark maroon and pink diamond pattern.

Leaving the venue, Gaga threw on a The Rolling Stones 50 years celebration leather biker jacket, a sentimental piece signed and gifted to her by the band after their first-ever concert together in December 2012.

She also threw in some Celine into the mix. Her eyewear of choice are the Triomphe 08 geometric black acetate sunglasses ($510).

'Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr. were among the A-listers boycotting the premiere of their widely-praised drama Oppenheimer in New York City on Monday amid a SAG-AFTRA strike preventing them from promoting their film.

Instead, the only big name who appeared to walk the red carpet at the AMC Lincoln Square was the film's director, Christopher Nolan, 52, who posed alongside his wife Emma Thomas, 51.

After the strike was announced last week, Universal Pictures announced the cancellation of the premiere's red carpet, but would still be moving forward today with a screening honoring those who worked behind-the-scenes on the movie.

'In support of the ongoing SAG strike, the filmmakers of 'Oppenheimer' will not be proceeding with the NY premiere as originally planned, and will instead screen the movie to celebrate the crew and craftspeople who contributed to making this landmark film,' Universal Pictures said in a statement.

Last week, the film's cast walked out of the film's UK premiere after the strike was announced, and Nolan expressed solidarity with the strikers at a subsequent premiere screening of Oppenheimer.

Christopher looked smart in a grey suit with silver tie and sleek leather shoes as he posed beside his wife of 26 years.

Emma looked stunning in a silky black dress paired with gold jewelry and peep toe black heels which displayed her pedicured toes.

Christopher was pictured signing autographs for fans awaiting him outside the venue.

He also was seen speaking with audience members inside the theater, delivering several remarks ahead of the special screening solo.

Oppenheimer, which stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the 'father of the atomic bomb', has been receiving glowing reviews following its premiere in Paris last week. It is set to be released in the U.S. on July 21.

Hollywood is set to grind to a halt for the forseeable future as unions take militant action over how streaming services are pushing down pay and the increasing use of AI in production.

The move could delay the release dates of blockbusters in the UK, with filming already halted today on the Buckinghamshire set of Wicked, starring Ariana Grande, while Deadpool 3, Beetlejuice 2 and Speak No Evil also face being pushed back.

The likes of Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Rami Malek were all on the red carpet at the Odeon in Leicester Square last week, before leaving prematurely to 'go and write their picket signs' in preparation for the 'imminent' strike by the actors' union.

Footage from the black carpet, which was brought forward by an hour to avoid clashing with the strike's announcement, showed the cast posing for photos before making their way back to their hotel in London.

The last minute change came after the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists announced it had voted in favour of taking action, after a deadline to reach a deal passed.

Among the affected films is superhero blockbuster Deadpool 3, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman - which may have its scheduled release date of May 2024 significantly impacted by the strike.

Similarly, new film Wicked starring US singer Ariana Grande, actress Cynthia Erivo, Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey and Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, which is being shot in a village in Buckinghamshire could also be affected, as the release date is currently set for November next year.

The set of Wicked appeared like a ghost town on Friday after it was abandoned last night following the announcement of the industrial action.

Other UK productions that face being impacted include vampire thriller The Radleys and psychological thriller Speak No Evil.

It is believed the highly anticipated second season of House of Dragon, however, can continue filming in the UK despite the ongoing strikes across the pond.

This is because the cast is made up of primarily British actors whose contracts are under the local union Equity - whose members are legally not allowed to strike in solidarity with US workers.

Pictures from the set, in an undisclosed location in Britain, on Thursday morning showed crew members preparing for another day of shooting.

Fortunately for fans of The Lord of The Rings: The Rings Of Power, the second season has just recently finished filming - in good news for Amazon which is expected to spend more than $1billion producing the series.

But for some of the biggest hits this year, from Barbie, to Oppenheimer and Mission: Impossible 7, the strikes mean studio executives face being unable to market their big-budget productions.

Meanwhile in the U.S., from Los Angeles to New York, actors, writers and other workers are now taking to the streets while holding up signs and demanding better pay.

The industrial action means press junkets for summer and autumn film premieres will be cancelled, and the Emmy awards face being postponed.

In a red-carpet interview with Variety, Matt Damon revealed that 'once the strike is officially called', the cast is 'going to walk obviously in solidarity'.

'That's why we moved this [red carpet] up because we know the second it's called, we're going home,' he said.

Speaking to Deadline on the red carpet earlier, Emily Blunt added: 'I hope everyone makes a fair deal and we are here to celebrate this movie.

'And if they call [a strike], we'll be leaving together as cast in unity with everyone. … We are gonna have to. We are gonna have to. We will see what happens. Right now it's the joy to be together.'

Just before the strike was announced, Kenneth Branagh said on the red carpet: 'We know it's a critical time at this point in the industry and the issues that are involved need to be addressed - there are difficult conversations.'

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the group that negotiates on behalf of studios, said it had offered significant gains to union members, reports Reuters.

They included the highest percentage increase in minimum pay levels in 35 years and 'groundbreaking' protections around the use of actors' images by generative AI, the organisation claimed.

It said: 'Rather than continuing to negotiate, SAG-AFTRA has put us on a course that will deepen the financial hardship for thousands who depend on the industry for their livelihoods.'

After the Oppenheimer cast then failed to enter the cinema after appearing on the red carpet, director Christopher Nolan told the audience: 'You've seen them here earlier on the red carpet.

'Unfortunately, they're off to write their picket signs for what we believe to be an imminent strike by Sag, joining one of my guilds, the Writers Guild, in the struggle for fair wages for working members of the unions, and we support them.'

Christopher then attended a second premiere screening of Oppenheimer and voiced his support for the strikes while introducing the film as he praised the 'talented' workers.

According to Deadline, he told the audience: 'They are here in spirit, and you'll get to see their incredible work and the reason we value these talented people so much and need to care for them and make sure they're looked after.'

'Thanks so much for being here and we hope you enjoy the film,' he added as the audience applauded his supportive words.

'This is a moment of history, a moment of truth - if we don't stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble,' SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher told a press conference, following the union board's unanimous vote to strike.

Writers had already spent 11 weeks protesting outside the headquarters of the likes of Disney and Netflix, after their demands for better pay and guarantees over the use artificial intelligence were not met.

Movie studios have already begun reshuffling their calendars, and if the strikes drag on, major film releases will be postponed too.

Both SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are demanding increases in base pay and residuals from streaming television, plus assurances that their work will not be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI).

The actors' union said on Thursday that its board had unanimously agreed to a strike after failing to reach a deal with studios including Walt Disney Co and Netflix Inc . Officials said actors would join picket lines in New York and Los Angeles starting on Friday.

The WGA's work stoppage has rippled throughout California and beyond, hitting caterers, prop suppliers and others who rely on Hollywood productions for business. The economic damage is expected to spread after actors join the picket lines.

Fran Drescher, former star of 'The Nanny' TV show and the president of SAG-AFTRA, called the studios' responses to actors' concerns 'insulting and disrespectful.'

'We are the victims here,' Drescher said at a press conference on Thursday, 'We are being victimised by a very greedy entity.''

More Than There are Stars in the Sky

I'm back bitches! My stepdad is pretty awesome, he's letting me use his laptop to write and post and such. I figured I'd start small, and get a bunch of writing done before I post any chapter stuff. So here we are, no beta but Grammarly is dope. Hope you guys like it. :D

He stared at the brown paper package in his hands with furrowed brows. The paper was coated in various stamps as it went through transit. With slight trepidation, Leonard McCoy carefully opened the package. The Enterprise in her time had made many enemies, and he had a few targeting him alone. Leonard wouldn’t put it past any one of them to send him a bomb or disease; though it would be hard with the ‘Fleets screening process. Physical mail was rare so they were incredibly thorough. 

Underneath the brown paper was honest to god handwritten letter wrapped around a long jewelry box. Tossing the wrappings and setting the box down, Leonard smoothed out the letter and began to read. He couldn’t help the broad smile spread across his face and the warmth that filled his heart to the brim. 

Hey Daddy!

I know I know this is really corny but I just couldn’t help myself. By the time this reaches you, we must have talked dozens of times and I’ll have started my first year at Cerberus Academy But I didn’t want to miss your Birthday! I already got what you sent me for mine, and I love it. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to use it, brand new PADD that’s better than what I could get at the store. Tell Uncle Scotty thanks, I know he built it, so don’t fib and tell me otherwise. I’ll make sure to keep it with me at all times I promise. I also got what Uncle Jim sent me and I think he’s a bit paranoid but I appreciate it all the same. I just have to make sure I don’t get caught with a boot knife on campus or at all, ever. 

But enough of my gifts, this is for you! 

(Open it!) 

Grinning Leonard paused in reading his daughter's letter to open the box sitting on his desk. Nestled inside: a necklace, silver chain, and casing with a glittering blue jewel. He didn’t often wear a lot of jewelry, other than his class ring, but this? This he was going to keep close. Looking back at the letter he finished the rest of it as he gently pulled the necklace from its pillow and fiddled with the clasp so he could put it on. 

- It’s an Aquamarine, the birthstone of March (according to the lady at the store), and being that we were both born in March I got myself one too! Now we both have something to connect us. Something to look at or hold on to that will bring a smile to your face. You need to smile more often daddy I swear you’re grumpier than a wet cat sometimes. 

Anyway, this is a reminder that you’re not alone. You have me, Uncle Jim, Auntie Ny, Uncle Spock, and all the others. Just because you’re gonna be in places unknown exploring doesn’t mean you have to be all bottled up and stiff. Have fun, would you? And for the love of Nans pecan pie be careful! 

I love you more than there are stars in the sky, and I hope to get a message from you soon. 

Joanna MaryAnne McCoy 

The necklace sat warmly against his chest and he wasn’t about to admit to anyone that he tearing up. Smiling softly he cleaned up the box and letter, locking them safely away in his desk drawer. Wiping his face and eyes, Leonard checked the time, it was almost time to go to his surprise party. Snorting he shook his head at the fact that they thought they could pull one over on him. Clearing his throat Leonard wandered out into Medbay in a much lighter mood than when he first walked in.

Personally, no editorial is complete without some romantic Valentino in it! The off-the-shoulder black silk taffeta awe, our girl poses in, was the opening number from the Italian house’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection.

The look was accessorized with a diamond necklace which is courtesy of The Pierre NY hotel, and the Roger Vivier Maharaja black velvet slingback pumps with white feathers.

Both the Josie embellished floral embroidered chiffon sleeveless midi dress which looks like it could have been picked up straight from a painting...

She crowned the look with Bvlgari’s Serpenti Obere white-gold and diamond huggie earrings.

Last but definitely not least, we got a Gucci Spring/Summer 2019 look! This is the nautical-inspired long-sleeved A-line midi dress with collar in contrasting blue & red, and buttoned front.

Slim-silhouetted eyewear was a huge trend back in 2018/19 and these Poppy Lissiman Le Skinny clear cat-eye glasses definitely fit the bill!

Bvlgari created her snake head-shaped Serpenti earrings in 18k white-gold, set with emerald eyes and full pavé diamonds.
