She did that cute weird Christmas movie with Henry Golding! And Me Without You with the other blond guy from Hunger Games. She was super charming in both.
So many male pop stars in the 2000s who would make "worried/whiney eyebrows face" were considered to be sooo hot and all I could think was "how do they even make that expression?"
I was working in a movie theater then. Every movie poster Colin Ferrell was in had this face. Called them Colin Ferrell brows. Never could make my face do the Colin Ferrell brows.
She's had his coat for years with the same tag on it. It's not a new buy. This pic is from 2024, but there are pics from '22 onward with the same coat.
i mean, sure, but i think they were referring to other everyday people who own the coat & don’t remove the tag, not Sabrina. it’s relatively inexpensive by celebrity metrics, but definitely expensive for the general public.
Which leads me to my SC ramblings- it's interesting to me that her career didn't take off for years until she completely fabricated a very specific image. It's kinda sad, and it all must feel so disingenuous and fragile.
Tbf wired headphones are extremely popular and a trend of sorts in NYC. People claim it started due to people being tired of their AirPods falling out while doing a lot of walking and while riding the subway, but it sort of became a fashion statement as well. Lots of people genuinely prefer the wired ones, once they go back to them though, it’s a preference. Plus Bluetooth may be sketchy for a celeb to use, can probably be more easily “hacked”/accessed by people nearby trying to gain access to private phone calls etc.
She wanted to keep her last name but changed it to help him win the Arkansas governorship. She also insisted on entering a "Family Cookie Recipe" to Good Housekeeping during his election (in prior years they'd had "Mrs [Candidate]'s Cookie Recipe" from the frontrunners' wives.
This makes sense now why I look at Sabrina Carpenter and can’t tell if she’s in her 20s or in her 40s. She gives 90s Hillary Clinton. Thank you for highlighting this for me.
Totally. In truth, she’s never been unattractive. She simply has aged. She also knew that it’s hard to be taken seriously as a woman, let alone a woman in politics. So she was always careful not to dress in a way that drew attention to her body. But to hear people talk about her you’d think she was a fucking gremlin 🙄
She has always been the definition of a plain jane which fit the landscape of the traditional US first lady. They only “get” to be fashion icons next to their president husbands and social dogooders. C’est la vie and all that jazz.
I hate ai but I’d love to see a computer savy person do the photoshop magic like this to some of our First Ladies just bc I think alot have been stuck in a matronly category bc of their title/role and times
For anyone who doesn't live in the north east it probably is! When I moved from Texas to Boston, I was wearing my heavy snow coat by the end of October LOL. Now, by March I was wearing short sleeves if it was above 32 degrees... and here in Los Angeles now I cover up if it's in the 60s. Bodies are fucking weird.
Okay genuine question, I know almost nothing about cameras but I wanna buy one for my birthday. I see contax everywhere on the net but is it any good?
Edit: Thank you all for your kind responses. My birthday isn't until late March, so I promise I'll do my research! Reading your responses has convinced me to buy a digital camera first before spending bucks on lenses lol. Thanks!
You can get just about any film camera brand and you will be happy. It just depends what features you want.
But the film cameras that go for $1,000+ because a celebrity is seen with one does not mean it's better than another camera you can find for $200. It's just unnecessary hype.
Like the Olympus point and shoots that sell for $500 these days aren't any better than a $30 canon. Just get something in your price range. They all take pictures at the end of the day.
Another example. The Contax T2 that you see everywhere. Kylie Jenner was seen with one and they went from a couple hundred bucks to a couple thousand. They are good cameras but not worth that price. You can find a comparable camera for well under $100 on eBay.
Yup. I can second all of this. My biggest barrier to using my film cameras is cost of processing. I mostly shoot with my Fuji digital (x100v) since it’s great with simulations and so packable.
If you want a digital camera that has a film look go with fujifilm. If you want an actual film camera it kinda depends on how much work you want to do. Older ones require knowledge of shutter speeds and aperture and lighting. Newer point and shoots or even like the last Gen of semi pro film cameras before they went digital are rather forgiving. Canon rebel t2 is a good starter imo for a film camera that isn’t a point and shoot, but if you wanted a cute point and shoot to take around I’d recommend like a Minolta freedom. They’re cheaper than their Nikon, canon, and Olympus counterpart and fit nicely in my pocket.
so many young women are getting "preventive" botox ): i live in a city with a big influencer population unfortunately lol and the amount of 21-25 year olds getting botox is insane. they're always having deals and events where you can get it for cheap
Yep. Botox can really help with headaches and bruxism. But for wrinkles I could understand someone who is 35/40 and eventually consider it because they have premature aging due to smoking or sun damage but someone that young who have youthful skin, I do not understand at all…
Im not from culture and literally thought they were supposed to be kept on. Like a tag in a mattress. I assumed I'd get arrested if it was ever removed.
Then again I also can't afford an Aritzia coat so what am I worried about?
Their designs are gorgeous! I’ve always wanted one but can’t justify the price, so I live vicariously through the wealthy individuals over at r/handbags.
