(@asklosthisuianzorua) June@Sonny The young hisuian zorua's curiosity was peaked upon seeing the strange chatot, "Oh! I've never seen a pokemon like you before! I didn't get to see many different kinds of pokemon back home though! I was always in the alabaster icelands! I think I saw a Pikachu once though! you look like a feathered Pikachu! Oh! Is that what you are?" She was jumping up and down excitedly!
(Sonny giggled) "Nope! I'm a Chatot! You wouldn't be the first to call me a feathered pikachu though! Are you a Zorua? I always thought you had black fur?"

Lê Diệp Kiều Trang và hành trình startup ‘dám chơi dám chịu’
Tumblr media
Cùng chồng thành công với Misfit, rồi đầu quân cho Facebook và Go-Viet, Lê Diệp Kiều Trang lại quay về làm startup vì "thích tự làm tự chịu".
Lê Diệp Kiều Trang (Christy Le) là một trong những đại diện tiêu biểu của thế hệ doanh nhân mới. Sinh năm 1980, cô là ái nữ của ông Lê Văn Trí, nguyên Phó tổng giám đốc Công ty Công nghiệp cao su miền Nam (Casumina). Anh trai cô là Lê Trí Thông, nguyên Phó tổng giám đốc Ngân hàng Đông Á và hiện là Tổng Giám đốc Công ty cổ phần Vàng bạc Đá quý Phú Nhuận (PNJ).
Không chỉ sinh ra trong gia đình có truyền thống kinh doanh, Kiều Trang còn nổi bật với thành tích học vấn cao. Cô tốt nghiệp Song Ưu chuyên ngành Kinh tế tại đại học Oxford (bằng Cử nhân và Thạc sỹ nghiên cứu), và thủ khoa chương trình MBA tại MIT, theo học bổng Legatum Fellow.
Đi một vòng rồi cũng về làm startup
Nhắc đến Lê Diệp Kiều Trang không thể bỏ qua cột mốc cô cùng chồng sáng lập Misfit và startup này sau đó bán cho Fossil Group với giá 260 triệu USD năm 2015. Với thương vụ này, Kiều Trang được cộng đồng khởi nghiệp Việt Nam ưu ái gọi là "cô gái vàng" trong giới startup.
Sau thành công này, Kiều Trang lại đi làm thuê cho các công ty toàn cầu. Cô giữ vị trí Giám đốc Điều hành Fossil Việt Nam, Phó giám đốc Điều hành Fossil Group rồi trở thành Giám đốc Quốc gia phụ trách Việt Nam của Facebook trước khi làm Tổng giám đốc Go-Viet. Nhưng thời gian ở Facebook lẫn Go-Viet đều khá ngắn ngủi. Sau đó cô lại về làm startup.
Chia sẻ với VnExpress, Kiều Trang thừa nhận, cuối cùng đam mê lớn nhất vẫn là khởi nghiệp, tạo cơ hội cho những trí thức Việt và hạnh phúc vì dành phần nhiều thời gian trên quê hương.

Tại Facebook và Go-Viet, Kiều Trang kể được trao quyền rất nhiều trong kinh doanh. Cô thấy những vị trí này hấp dẫn vì làm giám đốc của một công ty có vị trí mở đường, thay vì một đơn vị đã ổn định.
Tuy nhiên, Kiều Trang vẫn thích sự độc lập hơn nếu làm công ty riêng. "Nó cũng là một sự thoả mãn, mình thấy được điều gì tạo ra tác động, mình chủ động, tự quyết, tự chịu trách nhiệm... Kiểu có chơi có chịu", cô giải thích.
Kiều Trang giờ là Đồng sáng lập của Alabaster, chuyên rót tiền vào các giải pháp có tác động tích cực ở cấp độ toàn cầu. Alabaster đã có hơn 30 khoản đầu tư giai đoạn đầu vào các lĩnh vực như khoa học vật liệu, chất bán dẫn và công nghệ sinh học.
Cô cũng là Chủ tịch Harrison.ai, công ty Australia phát triển phần mềm tự động phân tích các hình ảnh X-quang và cung cấp cho các bác sĩ hỗ trợ quyết định theo thời gian thực. Cô cũng đang tạm thời là Giám đốc tài chính tại Arevo, công ty in 3D tự động hóa dùng cấu trúc polyme gia cố bằng sợi carbon (CFRP).
Giấc mơ xuất khẩu trí tuệ Việt Nam
Nhiều người sẽ nhớ đến Misfit - thành công startup của Kiều Trang vì con số 260 triệu USD bán được cho Fossil Group. Nhưng Kiều Trang, "tác giả" của nó lại nhớ tới đội ngũ khoảng 10 kỹ sư Machine Vision (Thị giác máy), nhận diện hình ảnh bằng Machine Learning (Máy học) của Misfit. Gần một thập niên "lăn lộn" khởi nghiệp cũng là chừng ấy thời gian Kiều Trang trải nghiệm với công việc "săn" nhân tài.
Năm 2011, khi còn đang yêu thích công việc tại McKinsey, ông Sonny Vũ, chồng cô khuyến khích về khởi nghiệp với Misfit. Kiều Trang nhận chiêu mộ kỹ sư cho dự án và bắt đầu say mê với công việc đi khám phá những nhân tài còn "ẩn dật" hay chưa được mài dũa.
Ban đầu, cô "săn tìm" các du học sinh thạc sỹ, tiến sỹ Việt Nam sang Mỹ theo học bổng VEF (Học bổng cao học dành cho sinh viên ưu tú Việt Nam của chính phủ Mỹ). "Về Việt Nam, các bạn chỉ có đi dạy chứ không có điều kiện làm nghiên cứu. Vì vậy, tôi gọi về Misfit. Các bạn về sau trở thành đầu tàu để hướng dẫn cho nhóm kỹ sư tốt nghiệp tại các trường đại học của Việt Nam", cô kể.
Năm 2015, khi Misfit được bán đi cũng là giai đoạn các công ty nước ngoài nhộn nhịp tìm đến Việt Nam mở văn phòng để tuyển kỹ sư xây dựng sản phẩm. Thị trường kỹ sư công nghệ phần mềm chuyên làm R&D bắt đầu phát triển.
Nhận thấy nhu cầu thị trường cao về Machine Vision, gia đình Kiều Trang giúp Fossil cấu trúc và bán nhóm kỹ sư cho công ty khác. Kết quả, một công ty Mỹ chuyên phát triển súng điện cho cảnh sát Mỹ đã mua lại. Đội ngũ từ 10 người thời ấy nay đã hơn 70 người.
Cuối 2019, Kiều Trang "tái xuất" tại "Diễn đàn lãnh đạo trẻ Việt Nam 2019" sau khi rời Facebook và Go-Viet với vai trò đồng sáng lập quỹ Alabaster. Trong các dự án mà quỹ rót vốn có Harrison. Công ty này có dữ liệu hình ảnh X-quang tại Australia nhưng thiếu chuyên gia để dạy cho AI học cách đọc.
Thế là, cô tìm các bác sỹ Việt Nam. "Ban ngày, các bác sỹ làm việc ở bệnh viện, ban đêm họ dạy cho các máy học. Hiện giờ, dự án này chúng tôi có hơn 150 bác sỹ cộng tác tại TP HCM", Kiều Trang nói.
Đến dự án Arevo, Kiều Trang kỳ vọng vào việc xây dựng vào lực lượng kỹ sư sản xuất ưu tú. Thông qua tự động hóa, Arevo có thể đẩy nhanh thời gian ra mắt sản phẩm lên đến 500 lần và giảm chi phí sản xuất lên tới 20 lần so với một vật liệu nhẹ nhưng chắc chắn. Sản phẩm đầu tiên của Arevo là những chiếc xe đạp in 3D.
"Hiện chúng tôi là người duy nhất trên thế giới giữ bản quyền công nghệ in 3D CFRP. Lõi công nghệ thì mình đã có, giờ kỹ sư Việt Nam chưa phải là người phát minh ra công nghệ đó nhưng có thể người thương mại hoá được nó".
Nói là làm, Trang cùng chồng quyết định mở nhà máy ở Khu công nghệ cao quận 9, TP HCM. Nhà máy đang chờ giấy phép cuối, máy in đã lên thuyền từ Mỹ chuẩn bị cập cảng và lắp máy vào tháng sau.
Trong quá trình thực hiện niềm đam mê là tạo cơ hội cho những kỹ sư giỏi, Kiều Trang nhận thấy năng lực khoa học của trí thức Việt Nam rất tốt nhưng không có môi trường phát triển. Cùng với đó, nhóm kỹ sư giỏi tiếng Anh còn ít nên cơ hội đi nước ngoài "thao luyện" chưa nhiều. Hoặc nếu đi được thì đầu quân cho các công ty lớn như Google, Facebook xong cũng chỉ dừng lại ở đó, khó có khả năng xây được một dự án kinh doanh và mang về nước.
"Và nếu họ không về nước khởi nghiệp mà về nước làm việc thì cũng không có môi trường chuyên nghiệp như Google, Facebook. Cuối cùng, mình lại chảy máu chất xám. Họ ở lại đó luôn cũng không trách được", Kiều Trang nói.
Cô thấy điểm chung giữa Misfit, Alabaster, Harrison hay Arevo... là đều thiên về công nghệ cao và phi kỹ thuật số (non-digital), những điều khá hiếm trong một hệ sinh thái khởi nghiệp đang chỉ mới sôi động ở mảng kỹ thuật số (digital) với thương mại điện tử, gọi xe, fintech...
Trang cho rằng Việt Nam có những người "deep tech" như vậy nhưng họ là kỹ sư, không phải người kinh doanh. Sản phẩm của họ có thể không phải là thứ thị trường cần. Ngoài ra, họ cũng không biết cách gọi vốn, tổ chức kinh doanh. "Do vậy, những công trình nghiên cứu khoa học rất dễ chết yểu", cô lý giải.
Kiều Trang cho rằng cần phải có thời gian cho startup "deep tech" trưởng thành. "Ngay cả những bạn giỏi về công nghệ, giỏi về kinh doanh nhưng họ ít tìm thấy nhau hoặc khó làm việc với nhau. Vì vậy, cần có thời gian để cải thiện việc này. Nếu có vài dự án thành công sẽ có những nhà đầu tư mạnh dạn đầu tư ", cô nói.
Khi được hỏi làm sao để nhiều trí thức về nước dành nhiều thời gian hoặc tâm sức cho Việt Nam hơn, cô nói "tất cả chỉ là vấn đề cơ hội".
"Cơ hội" được hiểu có thể là việc làm, không chỉ thu nhập cao mà còn là cơ hội phát triển nghề nghiệp. Với một số người muốn về startup thì "cơ hội" là điều kiện để xây dựng doanh nghiệp. Ngoài ra là các điều kiện cho con cái họ. "Nếu về Việt Nam thu nhập vẫn tốt, vẫn phát triển được về chuyên môn về cá nhân thì tôi nghĩ hầu hết mọi người sẽ muốn về", Kiều Trang nói.
Với tố chất của một công dân toàn cầu, Lê Diệp Kiều Trang đương nhiên không phải là người sẽ cố định ở một chỗ mãi nhưng cô nói thích ở Việt Nam. "Được gần giới trẻ quê nhà, tôi cảm thấy sẽ tạo được tác động xã hội nhiều hơn. Chưa kể, con tôi rồi nó cũng sẽ phải dùng nhiều tiếng Anh nên nếu sống ở Việt Nam, được nói tiếng Việt thì cơ hội này không phải dễ có được", cô tâm sự.

Is your startup the next Tik Tok?
Editor’s note: Get this free weekly recap of TechCrunch news that any startup can use by email every Saturday morning (7 a.m. PT). Subscribe here.
And I don’t mean building an app that gets the world addicted to short-form videos. I mean, where you build a huge company that spans the world and then get turned into a political football.
The Bytedance-owned app developer still appears headed for a shutdown in the US, after the already convoluted talks stalled out this past week. Each national government appears to require local ownership of a new entity, as Catherine Shu details, and the business partners are each claiming ownership. It’s a zero sum global game now for control of data and algorithms.
On the other side of the world, Facebook was quick to state that it would not be pulling out of the European Union this week even if it is forced to keep EU user data local, as Natasha Lomas covered. The company was clarifying a recent filing it had made that seemed to threaten otherwise — it doesn’t want to get TikTok’d.
For startups with physical supply chains, existing tensions are squeezing business activity from Chimerica out into other parts of the world, as Brian Heater wrote about the topic for Extra Crunch this week. Here’s what one founder told him:
Many [companies] are considering manufacturing in areas like Southeast Asia and India. Vietnam, in particular, has offered an appealing proposition for a labor pool, notes Ho Chi Minh City-based Sonny Vu, CEO of carbon-fiber products manufacturer Arevo and founder of deep tech VC fund Alabaster. “We’re friendly [with] the Americans and the West in general. Vietnam, they’ve got 100 million people, they can make stuff,” Vu explains. “The supply chains are getting more and more sophisticated. One of the issues has been the subpar supply chain … it’s not as deep and broad as as other places like China. That’s changing really fast and people are willing to do manufacturing. I’ve heard from my friends trying to make stuff in China, labor’s always this chronic issue.”
Danny Crichton blamed nationalistic US policies for undermining the country’s long-term commitment to leading global free trade and threatening its competitive future, in a provocative rant last weekend. There’s truth to that, but the underlying truth is that globalization worked, it just hasn’t work as well as hoped for a lot of people in the US and some other parts of the world. In addition to phenomenon like China’s industrial engine, for example, those cross-border flows of money and technology have helped nurture the startup ecosystem in Europe.
Mike Butcher, who has been covering startups for TechCrunch from London since last decade, writes about a new report from Index Ventures about this trend.
It used to be the case that in order to scale globally, European companies needed to spend big on launching in the U.S. to achieve the kind of growth they wanted. That usually meant relocating large swathes of the team to the San Francisco Bay Area, or New York. New research suggests that is no longer the case, as the U.S. has become more expensive, and as the opportunity in Europe has improved. This means European startups are committing much less of their team and resources to a U.S. launch, but still getting decent results…. Between 2008-2014, almost two-thirds (59%) of European startups expanded, or moved entirely, to the U.S. ahead of Series A funding rounds. However, between 2015-2019, this number decreased to a third (33%).
The report also highlights the economic problem of dividing up markets into political blocks. “European corporates invest three-quarters (76%) less than their U.S. counterparts on software,” Butcher adds about the report. “And this is normally on compliance rather than innovation. This means European startups are likely to continue to look to the U.S. for exits to corporates.”
The pain from failing to trade will come home sooner or later to each government, as Danny observes. But that could be longer than your current company exists. Instead, now is the time to pick the markets you can win, and plan for a world where success has a lower ceiling. And hey, if you’re lucky, your national government could pick you as its winner!

Want $100m ARR? Fix your churn
We’ve been recapping key moments from the Extra Crunch Stage at Disrupt this week, here’s a key segment from a panel Alex Wilhelm hosted about how to achieve the $100m ARR dream, featuring Egnyte CEO Vineet Jain:
After explaining that in the early stages of building a SaaS company it’s common to focus more on adding new revenue than “plugging the holes at the bottom,” [Jain] added that as a company matures and grows, more focus has to be paid to managing churn and retention. He said that dollar-based retention is a key metric in the SaaS world that startups are valued by, meaning that after securing a customer, your ability to upsell that same account over a “defined window of time” really matters.
Noting the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that bonuses at Egnyte are tied to retention, “I say, managing churn is the new revenue,” he added. “Focus on that disproportionately more than you would focus on just top-line growth” … . Egnyte, Jain added, drives to just one or two metrics (net new MRR, or gross MRR adds and churn). “Everything that we’re doing, all of us [at Egnyte] have to be measured with that number to say, ‘How are we doing as a company?’” So if your startup is post-Series A, listen to what Jain says on managing churn. After all his company reached $100 million ARR, has a few dozen million in the bank, grew 22% in Q2 and is EBITDA positive.

Summer of tech IPOs continues with Root, Corsair Gaming and of course, Palantir
While public markets have waffled on tech stocks lately, the overall momentum of unicorn IPOs has continued.
Except, Danny may have slowed things down a bit for Palantir? Here are the key headlines from the week:
As tech stocks dip, is insurtech startup Root targeting an IPO? (EC)
Chamath launches SPAC, SPAC and SPAC as he SPACs the world with SPACs
Palantir publishes 2020 revenue guidance of $1.05B, will trade starting Sept 30th
Following TechCrunch reporting, Palantir rapidly removes language allowing founders to ‘unilaterally adjust their total voting power’
In its 5th filing with the SEC, Palantir finally admits it is not a democracy
How has Corsair Gaming posted such impressive pre-IPO numbers? (EC)
Even more info about the best investors for you
We’re making another big update to The TechCrunch List of startup investors who write the first checks and lead the scary rounds, based on thousands of recommendations that we’ve been receiving from founders. Here’s more, from Danny:
Since the launch of the List, we’ve seen great engagement: tens of thousands of founders have each come back multiple times to use the List to scout out their next fundraising moves and understand the ever-changing landscape of venture investing.
We last revised The TechCrunch List at the end of July 30 with 116 new VCs based on founder recommendations, but as with all things venture capital, the investing world moves quickly. That means it’s already time to begin another update.
To make sure we have the best information, we need founders — from new founders who might have just raised their VC rounds to experienced founders adding another round to their cap tables — to submit recommendations. Thankfully, our survey is pretty short (about two minutes), and the help you can give other founders fundraising is invaluable. Please submit your recommendation soon.
Since our last update in July, we have already had 840 founders submit new recommendations, and we are now sitting at about 3,500 recommendations in total now. Every recommendation helps us identify promising and thoughtful VCs, helping founders globally cut through the noise of the industry and find the leads for their next checks.

How Robinhood and Chime raised $2B+ in the last year
Dear Sophie: Possible to still get through I-751 and citizenship after divorce?
Equity: Why isn’t Robinhood a verb yet?
From Alex Wilhelm:
Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s VC-focused podcast (now on Twitter!), where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.
This week Natasha Mascarenhas, Danny Crichton and your humble servant gathered to chat through a host of rounds and venture capital news for your enjoyment. As a programming note, I am off next week effectively, so look for Natasha to lead on Equity Monday and then both her and Danny to rock the Thursday show. I will miss everyone.
But onto the show itself, here’s what we got into:
Zoom’s earliest investors are betting millions on a better Zoom for schools: Built on Natasha’s reporting, we took a look at a neat company that wants to make Zoom better for the educational environments where it had suddenly taken the center stage. Teachers need more.
The first rule of BookClub? No boring book clubs. Another Natasha story this week, this time about a startup that we somewhat like but can’t decide how its market will be. Still, the bibliophiles in your life should read this piece and get hyped about rising access to authors.
Robinhood raised $460 million more, extending its preceding $200 million Series G to a $660 million total investment. Chime also added $485 million at a new, $14.5 billion valuation. We dug into what’s up with the pair and why they are raising so much money.
The short answer is hella growth, leading us to a question and this week’s headline: Why isn’t Robinhood a verb yet?
Willow, the startup making the wearable breast pump, raises $55 million: Natasha talked us through some of the issues with the phrase femtech, before Danny explained to us the need for what Willow offers. Here’s to more tech being used to help more folks at more stages of life.
Then we turned to VC media, namely our notes on a new venture capital game show, and, a16z launching a podcast network. We also worked what Casey Newton is up to into the same conversation.
Bon voyage for a week, please stay safe and don’t forget to register to vote.
Equity drops every Monday at 7:00 a.m. PDT and Thursday afternoon as fast as we can get it out, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

peggy's beef with celgene makes me giggle. man is SO incredibly stressed and tired and peggy just fuels the fire by getting on his ass about it it's very silly
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
these guys are 50/almost 50 (in my head at least) can u believe that
Tumblr media
a funny thought i had that i wanted to draw but decided would be too much work and i couldn't do how i wanted to (spoilers for root rpg ep 3)
Since celgene's office is also his bedroom I think the idea of like, ep 3 after everything is said and done and cel brings everyone up to his office, Sonny is in bed still but woke up after cel got up and so when he comes back to the room, Son's just like "What was all the commotion about Cel-" and he's just met with the sight of celgene leading the vagabonds in, a very beat up Mr. Y and Phil, and the dead body of Mr. Smiles being dragged into the room while Dolly lays out a tarp and Cel and Sonny just kinda look at each other very silently for a hot minute before they're like
"I don't even- go back to bed doll"
"Yeah im goin back to bed"

The Most Memorable Golden Globes Looks of All Time
This Sunday, Hollywood's biggest and brightest celebrities will grace the red carpet for the 74th annual Golden Globes. While the show might be about recognizing the most talented actors in movies and on television, but what the stars will be wearing is just as exciting. Ahead of the event, Yahoo Style reflects on some of the most iconic outfits that have ever appeared at the ceremony with a sartorial tour through the show's sequin-laden history.
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest for nonstop inspiration delivered fresh to your feed, every day.
Tumblr media
Grace Kelly, 1956
Grace Kelly won the World's Film Favorite Actor (Female) award in 1956, but she easily could have been named "World's Most Stylish Woman." Her silk cheongsam with cap sleeves was the epitome of, well, grace. Just another example of why she's one of the most enduring — and alluring — fashion icons. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Elizabeth Taylor, 1957
Taylor, known for her amazing jewelry and multiple husbands, wore a dainty floral print dress with full skirt when she attended the Golden Globes in 1957. She accessorized the look with a tiara, chandelier earrings, and Mike Todd (aka hubby No. 3). (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Marilyn Monroe, 1962
The often imitated, but never equaled, Monroe received her last award in 1962 in a slinky, black sequin gown that no doubt turned heads at the ceremony and— rumor has it — sparked a romance with her presenter, Glenn Ford. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Cher, 1973
Who else but Cher could bare a taut, tanned tummy at a red carpet gala? The singer attended the ceremony with her husband, Sonny Bono, but all eyes were on her in a jacquard floral two-piece and oversize fur coat. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Anjelica Huston, 1974
Anjelica Huston, ever the coquette, escorted her man, Jack Nicholson, to the 1974 ceremony in a rumpled silk top and matching skirt, with a fur boa casually tossed over the shoulder and a flower in her hair. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Drew Barrymore, 1983
How could you not love little Drew Barrymore in this ruffled purple dress? The 7-year-old was attending for her role in E.T., and we were charmed to the moon and back. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Sigourney Weaver, 1989
Sigourney Weaver had a banner year in 1989, winning Best Supporting Actress for Working Girl and Best Actress for Gorillas in the Mist, which she shared with Jodie Foster and Shirley MacLaine in a historic three-way tie. This asymmetric red dress was thoroughly modern and just the right kind of sexy. It certainly would not look out of place on a red carpet today. (Photo: Getty Images)
Source: Yahoo Style
Tumblr media
Julia Roberts, 1990
In an age before stylists were commonplace, Julia Roberts decided to dress herself. (A novel idea!) Her choice to don a man's suit by Giorgio Armani stemmed from her desire to wear something that was just as comfortable as what her then boyfriend, Kiefer Sutherland, was wearing. A suit is always chic on a woman, but it wouldn't have hurt if this one were at least her size! (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Kate Moss, 1995
Even when she was younger, Kate Moss knew how to command a red carpet. At the height of her '90s heyday, she wore a vintage dress to the Globes that was purchased by her then boyfriend, Johnny Depp. The full-length sequined ensemble was originally worn by Julie Christie in Shampoo, making everything about her even more impossibly cool. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Courtney Love, 2000
This tattered John Galliano dress was the perfect choice for a star who has confessed, "I am not a woman. I am a force of nature." (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Halle Berry, 2000
Berry looked radiant in this feminine red and white Valentino gown. Her minimal makeup and short hair really let her beauty shine, especially when she won a Best Actress award for Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Björk, 2001
It's entirely possible that Björk is a creature from another galaxy. We would not expect her to wear a normal dress with ruffles or a plunging neckline, so when she showed up wearing Michael Jackson's face on her gown, all we could do is stand back and say, "Yes, Björk, Yes!" (Photo: Getty Images)
Source: Yahoo Style
Tumblr media
Kate Hudson, 2002
Kate Hudson made waves in this Versace gown. The sparkling dress with plunging neckline and bell sleeves hugged her body in all the right places and turned her into a glamorous mermaid. If there were ever a dress that perfectly captured someone's personality, this was certainly it. (Photo: Getty Images)
Source: Yahoo Style
Tumblr media
Sharon Stone, 2003
Throughout the years, Sharon Stone has established herself as someone who does whatever the heck she wants, no matter what people think. This look certainly confirmed her self-righteous attitude. The sheer top, witchy boots, car-wash skirt, and weird Illuminati pendant are an actual challenge to human eyes. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Salma Hayek, 2003
If you look up the word sexy in the dictionary, it should come with a photo of Salma Hayek in this red hot Narciso Rodriguez gown. The dress hit all of her curves without being too revealing. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Lara Flynn Boyle, 2003
Lots of little girls want to be ballerinas when they grow up. It seemed that Lara Flynn Boyle never outgrew this wish and decided the red carpet was the best place to manifest her dreams. It wasn't. (Photo: Getty Images)
Source: Yahoo Style
Tumblr media
Charlize Theron, 2004
Many think that yellow is a hard color to pull off, but Theron's subtly ruffled Dior gown was the perfect choice to give a relaxed vibe at an upscale event. Her perfectly tousled hair actually complemented the shape of her dress, and so did the Best Actress award she took home for Monster. (Photo: Getty Images)
Source: Yahoo Style
Tumblr media
Diane Keaton, 2004
Diane Keaton is usually in a suit, a style that perhaps she should never have walked away from. This all-white look was a bit of a head-scratcher. Was it the satin gloves that put it over the top? Or the white lace Victorian boots? Or perhaps the random string of pearls? It was all too much! (Photo: Getty Images)
Source: Yahoo Style
Tumblr media
Sarah Jessica Parker, 2004
Undoubtedly the most-watched-fashionista of the early naughts, Sarah Jessica Parker stunned when she opted for this strapless gray Chanel Haute Couture dress. The look shot her straight to icon status, as did the golden statuette she took home that evening for Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy. Carrie would have been proud. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Nicole Kidman, 2005
Nicole Kidman's teal Gucci gown was probably one of her finer red carpet moments. A bold statement for sure, but the color of this satin dress complemented her alabaster skin so perfectly, and the tuft of peacock plumage was an elegant touch. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Scarlett Johansson, 2006
With her loose blond curls, the bright red, figure-hugging Valentino gown cemented ScarJo's reputation as a total knockout. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Reese Witherspoon, 2006
Witherspoon's Chanel dress was beautiful. It had a modern silhouette and just enough sparkle at the top to make it award-show ready. Unfortunately, Kirsten Dunst had worn it to the Golden Globes in 2003, which meant that major drama ensued. But in the end, the important thing was that Witherspoon looked radiant when she received her Best Actress award for Walk the Line. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Zhang Ziyi, 2006
Zhang Ziyi was a relative newcomer to the red carpet, but in this almost-neon Emporio Armani gown, she surely made her presence known. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Keira Knightley, 2006
The year that she was nominated for Pride and Prejudice, Keira Knightley also made headlines for this elegant cream Valentino gown. The sexy updo and smoldering eye makeup helped to get her on every best dressed list that year. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Hilary Swank, 2007
Hilary Swank looked like a billion-dollar baby in this Chanel Haute Couture gown. The dress showed off her slender, toned frame, and the diamond hair clips were the perfect finish to this very polished look. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Helen Mirren, 2007
Dressing in a teal Donna Karan gown with plunging neckline, Helen Mirren proved that women are definitely still sexy in their 60s. It was a good year for her: She took home the award for her role in The Queen. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Reese Witherspoon, 2007
This canary yellow knee-length strapless dress established Witherspoon as one of the most stylish women on the red carpet and made the repeat-dress snafu of the previous year all but forgotten. It was made by industry favorite Olivier Theyskens, who choose this moment to make his debut as Nina Ricci's creative director. Reese's laid-back but glam hair and red satin sandals brought the look to another level entirely. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Cameron Diaz, 2009
This was among one of Cameron Diaz's finest red carpet moments. Could anyone else have looked this good in this Chanel dress? Her toned arms, carefree blond hair, and subtle makeup all came together perfectly. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Jennifer Lopez, 2009
This Marchesa dress looked like someone poured liquid gold over J.Lo's head: It just molded to her body. Keeping the hair off her face and adding just the right amount of bronzed makeup made Lopez look like an actual goddess. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Eva Mendes, 2009
Eva Mendes and this Dior Haute Couture gown were a red carpet magic moment. The crisp white strapless gown with exaggerated side ruffle detail was a knockout, much like the lady herself. We loved that she threw on a turquoise statement necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels. It all worked like a dream. (Photo: Getty Images)
Source: Yahoo Style
Tumblr media
Diane Kruger, 2010
Diane Kruger would look good in a sack, but this dress deserves an extra- special mention because it was not an easy look to pull off. There is a lot going on in this Christian Lacroix Haute Couture fuchsia gown, with its various tones, bow, and textured ruffle, but Kruger wore it with such grace and confidence that it fared her well. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tumblr media
Emma Stone, 2012
Lanvin's plunging V-neck dress was a major turning point for the young actress, who had previously played it safe. With her smoky eye and war-eagle buckled belt, she looked like a modern-day Grecian goddess. (Photo: Getty Images)

Tilda Swinton, 2012
Swinton is queen of the bold red carpet dress, and this Haider Ackermann ensemble perfectly captured her androgynous look. It was the perfect menswear-inspired style that was worn with a wink. (Photo: Getty Images)

tumblr_inline_nyc0oiPudB1tdvcg8_540
The Glee actress had the right idea when choosing this Marchesa silver dress, but she should have stuck with just the glitter. The cutouts and see-through mesh fabric that did not quite match her skin tone did her no favors. Next stop, Vegas? (Photo: Getty Images)

TRUTH.....no one listens but they DO listen for the bad and negative..........as I am sure those per fessers at UNDER THE "ARM" Pitt do with you since you are a boy with a sweet face of a child and none o them alcohol lines.......as I once had I guess...U are runnin with a crowd I do not trust........It is true..........those girls are bar flys.........I do not know what drugs they are into these days but in my time it was any thing under the son and whatever worked which it all does....You have a clean slate and rap sheet as far as I know and u are leaving urself EXPOSED....For example my green alabaster carved owl that Dale gave me 40 yrs ago previous...Do u have it or is that what that fing thief stole from u or I and mine...??? Let me know......I would eviscerate him if that is what he and I were arguing about....gut his fat gut end to end....I dream of killing and strangling anymore..Welp...Thievery and working the angles.....Life sorry.......I would rather they think I am some dead old man than packing the heat which I am.......Or that I know anything and nothing which who knows if I do or if I went to the school of donkeys and graduated a jack ass.............A piece from Google that showed a list of your contacts...cousins and poonn tang....Is it???A most recent picture of you it looked like on Raggi way looking across the creek...I told you Google is the last place I would post any of my info....mugtub was also on there as were some others you apparently communicate with unbeknown to eye...Do you know why I received that.....If i can destroy you think how fast others can??? Keep ur mouth shutto......Another thing I know is that my brother has had sleep apnea since a young fellow....Snoring (sleep apnea)is a perfect sign of atrial fibrilliation....his turdboys would never want to sleep with or did because of his snoring....Could run one out of the house and whorify....Let me know his response to what you have told him as I worry each day about his ticker health.....I hate to say I was not wrong about any of what U saw on your short stay as it relates to my shit head family...There is not one thing that U or I could do to help the dickheads...The mold and dies have been set and my old man is responsible for them...The "THEM" includes the inlaws and outlaws....The reality is no triple ass relative of mine has or had a clue how to be a parent and would never listen to what would be....Look at ragmothers famil kids too...The same way...UR mother and her sister do not have a clue or a guess either...I hope that U have learned how not to raise children...One needs to be a parent not try to be their friend and to be strong, caring, yet firm......And teach them to keep a LOOOOOW profile and shut the fug up ad say nothing to no one nor let them see and know how you live or anything of ur private life including ur privates....Chucke!!!.Lose no sleep over same....they are aminals at best since they are not in ur own mind and you watch their reactions and react nothing more........Remember sometimes reality is hard to digest and swallow....Just like that situation on Raggi Way...The reality that ur mother would not understand if it bit her on the ass....she is married to a beer swilling ALLKIE loser who does the one armed curls which is the only thing he has ever done in his whole life.........a case of beer that lite shit.....30 beers.........it is horrific and I wonder what mind he has or does he have a mind at all.....i drank to blank out and rest but to swill all day long in that slow limpo wrist way......that is practically a queer thing I imagine and weird.......She (rag) has no right to say anything about any one in her critical way that I do not and canute understand....humanzees are both narcissistic and narcissists to the nth degree and we cannot comprehend it in our brains the way it is meant to be..........steer clear of them and stay in the apt as much as U can.........they are only listening for the negative and to get a stab in as is donee when u kill a king or leader......then some how nobody was the friend of that dead fug he is just dead meat..........they only luv u as long as u have some thing for them.....to know this I hate............It would be better to drink like diaper doper shitpants and his 30 beers a diem imagine that shit trickle and dayaryea you get......under no circumstance ever attend the funeral of a relative.........we all deserve to be in sacks and paper bags or flushed......Sorry......keep enjoying that sun shine and hope U have a safe trip home...U will be glad to get back to your abode and UR pillow...Eat some "BEANS".....LUVYA!!!!

MORE HUSBANDS
MORE HUSBANDS!!!!!! you’re in luck bc I actually have been doodling them recently bc I love them and I miss them
Tumblr media
(^ this ones from a while ago actually I just never got a good opportunity to post it) I’ve been going back n forth on giving them more root art adjacent looks vs drawing them with slightly more human proportions
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
human versions waoooo so crazy. it’s funny bc cel’s only like 5 years older than Sonny at most but Sonny just has a very youthful look to him. Celgene’s more stressed most of the time so it’s probably not doing him any favors
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and some solo Sonns as well!! I like him so so much he makes me so happy. that first one was very much inspired by the snippet of The Sailor Song that was going around on tiktok as an animation meme for a bit. not following the format at all but it’s just how I imagined it for them bc I felt like it fit <3
I was actually writing a fic of when they first met a while ago and it was kinda rushed and shitty but I liked it. never finished it tho. even if I did I’m not sure if/where I would publish it bc at a certain point this becomes so removed from the loa campaign that like idk if I’d even be able to tag it as loa fanfic anymore. IM IN THIS WAY TOO DEEP GUYS

your oc sonny is wonderful and already giving me diabetes. Can you give details about how he met celgene?
WAAAAAAAAAA‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ GETTING UP AND JUMPING AND RUNNING AROUND VERY FAST‼️‼️‼️‼️ TYSM this like actually means the world to me I’m so happy other people enjoy him 🥹🥹🥹
I have had a couple thoughts bouncing around up there about their first meeting. I like to think these guys have been married for like 20-30 years so like it’s interesting trying to think abt how different celgene might’ve been back that but like ultimately idrk im just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what makes me happiest. Either way I do think that they met at the Pearl Saloon.
One thought that I had actually came bc I was looking up badger courtship behavior (I’m in this way too deep chat) and one thing that came up is that the males will approach their potential mate by doing this like, stiff-legged shuffle to them and I just think it’d be really funny if celgene saw Sonny at the Pearl one night and very awkwardly and nervously shuffled over to him and asked him to dance. I also like to think that since he was taking 5ever to actually hype himself up to approach Sonny, someone else with him (either a friend or other saloon staff idk) was like “celgene istg if you don’t go up to that rabbit already-“ and cel was like “SHADDUP IM GOING IM GOING” (and then it still took him ages to go).
While they start dancing with each other, they introduce themselves and a thought that I really enjoy is celgene introducing himself as “celgene alabaster, though my friends usually call me Cel”
and Sonny responds “yeah? we friends, Cel?”
and celgene goes “well I’d certainly like to be”
aughh. they just make me happy heheheheh
The other main thought I was having with them was after a bit, they go sit down at the bar and Celgene pours Sonny a drink himself, and while he does he’s basically like “listen, I like you, dollface, I really do, but I don’t think a sweet thing like you wants to get caught up with a guy like me”
and Sonny pretty much just leans in and goes “oh yeah? Says who?”
The thought process with all that is that Celgene is described as a shady guy and he mentions more than once how he’s good with a knife and all that, and I imagine he’s been up to this kind of thing for a while. With sonny, I like to think he’s not all too unfamiliar with this kind of business himself, though maybe not quite as experienced with it as celgene is himself. He does very obviously come off as a lot more unsuspecting than celgene though, so that’s not like super immediately clear, and so celgene trying to be somewhat upfront about that is him giving Sonny an out, essentially, and trying to tell him what he’s getting into if he does stick with cel. Sonny meeting him with that and letting him know that he knows is Sonny’s own way of telling celgene that he’s not just looking to fool around and actually does wanna get to know him better. I don’t know what I’m saying right now does this make sense I hope this makes sense lmao. I just. I just really like them a lot okay orz
Actually kinda still sticking with that train of thought, not related to their first meeting or anything but I like to think that when he actually starts working at the Pearl, Sonny has his own ways of dealing with less than savory clientele. Celgene has a lot of intimidation factor to him and is more than willing and capable of taking care of some jerks, but Sonny still keeps a dagger on him in case he needs to handle anything himself. I like to think that he more or less knew how to use it before he met cel but early on in their relationship, wanting him to be able to really keep himself safe, Celgene showed him how to really use it some more and taught him some stuff with it (Sonny did learn knew things from this but he may or may not have also just been letting Celgene reteach him things he already knew bc he’s a cornball) (this idea was also definitely entirely inspired by cel teaching Booker how to use a knife in ep 3)
