Drama Queens Live Show (Philly)

Honestly I'm really happy I went. It was pretty surreal seeing them in person (along with Paul and Torrey). At times they have somewhat annoyed me on their podcast, but hearing them and seeing them in person helped me get back on that train of truly enjoying them as performers and as people. That's not to say I'll agree with everything they say on the podcast, but it helped me enjoy them more as individuals. Hilarie was pretty damn hilarious. She had a few jokes here and there that were the typical stuff she says on the podcast pertaining to kissing/making out and whatnot, but overall she surprised me with how funny she was. Joy came off extremely likeable and warm. She sang Only Hope by Mandy Moore with Switchfoot and I almost cried lmao. She was also very bubbly and energetic. Seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. Sophia was great too although I felt she seemed somewhat tired compared to the other two women. And this is not a slight to her in the least bit, but she was more laid back and chill.

Paul is amazing and hilarious. I swear I kept smiling like an idiot any time he was talking. He's a great story teller and knows how to keep everyone's attention.

Torrey was great. At times she seemed a bit out of place but the women were very welcoming of her and involved her a ton.

Some fun tidbits:

Someone asked about their favorite kisses, this was their responses:

Joy said the kiss where her and James got semi-drunk off moonshine before they filmed the 100th episode scene in the kitchen where it pours down on them. It was a long shoot and they were like "f*** it" lmao. Along with the first rain kiss scene (1x22). She said how they felt kind of awkward and she was worried about how it would look, but it came out amazing on screen. I agree Joy lol.

Paul jokingly said his favorite "kiss" was Haley in the 40s episode. Said that Joy added the slap but Joy said he told her to slap him. Paul also said he and Karen never really had a real kiss and cringed about Dan forcing himself on her.

Hilarie said the championship game. She said how her and Chad were best buds and there was no romantic interest/feelings between them but alluded that the kiss was something special lol

Sophia said the kiss after Brooke tells Julian she's pregnant.

Torrey pointed out that Carrie assaulted Nathan and didn't get his consent for anything, amen. So that kiss was a big no.

Overall it was a neat experience and I hope they do more shows in the future.

who tf do ketu men frequently date? 🧍🏼

so i decided to check the charts of ex/current partners of some selected well known ketu men.

See, Timothee Chalamat having dated Rahu and Jupiter girls kinda validates my theory of Ketu men going for these planetary archetypes. I also see Moon and Mercury nakshatra women.

He dated Shatabhisha ASC, Vishakha Moon Lourdes Leon. Was with Eiza Gonzalez who has Shravana Sun & a possible Purva Bhadrapada Moon. His iconic pairing with Lily Rose Depp who's Rohini Sun & Swati Moon and Vishakha ASC. And finally Kylie Jenner -- Ashlesha Sun, Swati Moon.

Avan Jogia, who is Ashwini Moon, is dating Punarvasu Moon Halsey -- and she also has Hasta Sun AND Swati ASC. He's also dated Zoey Deutch who is a Vishakha Sun. He dated Swati Sun Cleopatra Coleman. He had a thing with Vishakha Moon Miley Cyrus 💀

Ben Barnes, who is Ashwini Moon & Magha Sun, dated Ardra Moon Tamsin Egerton. Then Shatabhisha Moon Felicity Jones. And also Vishakha ASC AND Hasta Moon Julianna Hough.

Possible Magha Moon Robert Sheehan with his long-time girlfriend Revati Sun Sofia Boutella.

Idris Elba's -- who's Magha Moon -- current wife is a Punarvasu Sun AND a Jyestha Moon mwahaha.

Ashwini Moon Benedict Cumberbatch's wife is a Purva Bhadrapada Sun AND Rohini Moon.

Ashwini Moon Michael C. Hall's first wife had Revati Moon, name's Amy Spanger. Then he married Jyestha Sun Jennifer Carpenter who ALSO has Punarvasu Moon and a Hasta ASC.

Ashwini Moon Matt Dillion had dated Vishakha Moon Denise Richards. Also Punarvasu native Cameron Diaz. And I believe his recent partner is Vishakha Moon Roberta Mastromichele. He'd dated Ashlesha ASC, Swati Moon and Shravana Sun Heather Graham.

Magha Moon Paul Wesley was married to Hasta Moon Torrey DeVitto. He was also engaged to Punarvasu native Phoebe Tonkin.

Ashwini Sun Machine Gun Kelly (who also dated Punarvasu native Halsey), was with Ashlesha Moon Megan Fox. Daniel Day Lewis' wife is a Revati Moon. Cilian Murphy, who I also believe to be Ketuvian, is married to a Jyestha Moon woman. Christian Bale's -- who's Ashwini Moon -- wife may have Revati Sun (she may also be Ashwini Sun if she was born past noon).

And Ketu men also go for Ketu women. Justin Trudeau's wife is an Ashwini Sun. Machine Gun Kelly dated Ashwini native Amber Rose.

Ashwini Moon Milo Ventimiglia's wife, Jarah Mariano, is a Jyestha Moon. He's dated Ashwini Moon Alexis Bledel and also Hayden Panettiere who's also an Ashwini Moon with Magha Sun.

Ashwini Moon Boris Kodjoe's wife, Nichole Ari Parker, is a Mula Moon with a Hasta Sun.

Magha Sun Andrew Garfield was with Magha ASC, Swati Sun and Hasta Moon Emma Stone. He also dated Mula Sun Shannon Woodward. He'd been with Ashwini Sun and Vishakha Moon Phoebe Dynevor. Also Ardra Sun Alyssa Miller. He got on with Ashlesha Asc & Purva Bhadrapada Moon Rita Ora too.

Mula Sun, and confirmed Ashwini Moon, Jared Leto, had dated Vishakha Moon Scarlett Johansson. Then Ashley Olsen who is literally a Magha Moon with Ashlesha ASC. He'd been with Punarvasu ASC Cameron Diaz. He was also linked with Ardra Sun Lindsey Lohan. Had an iconic love struck moment with Shatabhisha Sun, Hasta Moon Lupita Nyong'o. I think Valery Kauffman too who's Rohini Sun and Shravana Moon. Reminder that he's a Krittika Asc, he's a Sun nakshatra and my god he's got a running list of hookups I can't deal with right now so Valery is where it ends. It's honestly giving Leonardo DiCaprio lmfao who's also a Sun nakshatra (can't stand solar males💀).

If I stumble on more Ketu men, I'll probably keep editing this post. But there's a pattern here. It's Rahu, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Ketu nakshatras that frequently pop up in the women they date. Honorable mentions are Sun and Mars nakshatras. Seriously, I find this fascinating.

hilarieburton: Tour dump!!!! Can’t tell you guys how WILD it was to cruise through Boston, NYC, DC and Philly on our @dramaqueensoth tour! I didn’t get to take or post many photos, cause I was steering that beast of an RV we commandeered. But there were so many sweet memories, professionally and personally. I’ve posted some, like the reunion between @tylerhilton and @jeffreydeanmorgan. And the glorious @barbiealynwoods and @daphnezuniga !
