I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves. Mary Wollstonecraft

'For one week in 1967 the Sweet Pills had the number one US single and the number one album in both the US and UK.' No Way To Beehive, Chapter 28.

From the reviews: 'The Sweet Pills are the girl band that we never knew we were missing. Tim Pieraccini has installed them seamlessly into that frenetic decade and by the end of the book you could be forgiven for forgetting that they were not really there at all.'

Liv Ullmann and Amanda Redman in Frederic Raphael's 'Richard's Things' (1980). Only Redman's second screen credit, and to be playing opposite Liv Ullmann! She's fantastically good, too.

The two faces I'll miss most from The Boys - Karen Fukuhara and Erin Moriarty. From the final episode.

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

Sweet Pills model Solomia Tkachivska (as herself) holding the Pills second album, Can You Take The Sweet Pills?

From an Amazon Review of the book: "If you love 1960s culture, the British music scene, or stories about friendship, ambition and creative tension, this book absolutely delivers. It has that rare quality of feeling both nostalgic and fresh at the same time."

Yeşim: [Catherine] said—and I think I remember correctly: “We are going to show these Beatles what they should be doing.”

Penny: ‘One of the things that I very quickly learned about Catherine was that she was not restricted by what seemed possible. She dreamed big—and more often than not, she made the dream into reality.'

Zee, speaking about the 1966 US tour in support of the Beatles: ‘I got a few letters that said they came to see the Beatles but thought we was even better! Only a few, mind—but that was somethin’. And all from girls. Even had one girl from Seattle turn up on my [London] doorstep six months later, wantin’ to be a drummer!’

Lovely to see we have spaces where you can gain access to so much literature!

For The White Room Sessions, the Sweet Pills had decided to bring something personal each, and for Penny, the choice was not difficult. This bear was given to her by her mother, who had died only six weeks before the photo shoot.

The White Room Sessions; as a tribute to her Uncle Ronnie, Audrey sits surrounded by film books and magazines from his shop, Road To Utopia. ‘Uncle Ron…well, it’s no exaggeration to say he transformed the world for me. He had so many fascinating things to show me, so many amazing stories to tell. Looking back, obviously I can see he may not have been quite so personally involved in some of the stories as he led me to believe, but he never lied to me—just embroidered a little! That was the beginning of my love of films and music.’
