A very Happy 31st Birthday to the little prince. Best wishes from me, and thank you for some of the best nights of my life. Meeting you was well worth the wait. Much love, and I hope you have an amazing night.

Chicago’s House of Blues / Hotel Chicago

I met Miles and Alex this morning! They were so nice and squeezed the hell out of my shoulders and I can’t believe I got to meet them both!

They also signed some stuff for me! I met Alex at about 2:09 A.M. and Miles about ten minutes later, after talking to Alex about school and music with a new friend I made at the show. I was shaking so much but I’m so happy!

This fandom is so toxic and hateful and just fucking dull when you can't have an opinion on shit. Hell, this whole website is. I'm done.

“’How do you explain to your child, she was born to be hurt?’ This line from Imitation of Life evokes the United States in its last desperate years of institutionalized racism. It seems more than coincidence that Douglas Sirk filmed his masterpiece in late summer of 1958, less than three years after Rosa Parks sat down in that bus in Montgomery and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led the boycott. Only a few years earlier, neither Hollywood nor the American public would have accepted this picture. (Even the 1934 Imitation of Life, conservative, safe, and devoid of subtext, encountered roadblocks…) In the spirit of those times, what might Juanita Moore’s lines to Lana Turner– ‘How do you explain to your child, she was born to be hurt?’ –have meant to audiences north and south when the film opened in 1959? What does it mean today? And how might we, in the 'progressive’ twenty-first century, explain to those audiences at the the tail end of a similar era, that so much has changed, and so little?” –Sam Staggs, Born to Be Hurt: The Untold Story of Imitation of Life

Imagine Person A is a photographer and needs someone to fill in for their photoshoot because one of their clients bailed out. A decides to ask B to fill in, which B agrees to because of their crush on A. A takes pictures as normal, until they suddenly tell B to strip down. Turns out, A needed someone for their nude figure/underwear modeling photoshoot and didn’t tell B about that part. How does B react?
