Tom Holland does Rihanna’s “Umbrella” on Lip Sync Battle

I’m literally zendaya reacting like he didn’t have to go that hard and yet..

[coppercorn-and-cauldron]

Must always reblog

[kimmycup]

Sometimes you just need to watch again. Instant serotonin.

[sif-the-tsunami]

I love that his only regret about this is him not having done the routine in heels.

[twicksterart-deactivated2022040]

I wonder if this is what sealed the deal for Zendaya. Cause I get it.

[mishkatelwarriorgoddess]

When I WATCHED this one on tv, y'all!!!!! I loved watching LL’s reaction! I don’t think ANYONE was prepared for it, cuz I know I wasn’t.

And the young man does ballet!!!

[sidepartskinnyjeans-deactivated]

The key thing is he NAILS the routine and does it seriously, it’s not a joke choice. He does it with passion.

[kelsey441]

Completely agree with the above comment. This is what makes it so much better than some of the other performances that people consider good. (I’m particularly thinking of Channing Tatum’s performance here.)

Tom Holland didn’t seem like he was dressing in women’s clothes and dancing like a woman as a lighthearted gag done for laughs. Even if that’s what he intended (I have no idea), once he was out there on that stage, he played it seriously. He went out there and delivered a serious performance. It was intense, and he injected his legitimate (not exaggerated for laughs) sex appeal into the performance.

[wolfsmom1]

He was brilliant.

[phinarei]

Literally every time I watch this I appreciate it more. More comments or more perspective or I just notice something else I didn’t before.

I will never not reblog this.

[lentilswitheverything]

imagine being the choreographer for the show

you’re used to dealing with people like chrissy teigan and serena williams, game for it sure but 0 dance training or experience and not really a performer (although i’ve still not figured out what it is chrissy teigan actually does so many I’m wrong about that? not important)

and then this guy comes up to you and says hey, i’m gonna be on the show. i went to stage school so i have literally no shame or performance anxiety, i’m a trained dancer in ballet tap and modern, i was billy elliot on the west end so you don’t have to worry about me not remembering the routine, and i’m in the best shape of my life because i’m spiderman right now, literally hit me with your absolutely worst i can take it

if i’d been them i’d have fucking burst into tears on the spot

An oral history of Tom Holland's sensational 'Lip Sync Battle' performance

The producers, choreographers, and dancers behind the "Umbrella" and "Singin' in the Rain" mashup explain how it came to be.

Americans, does your family stuff the thanksgiving turkey or serve stuffing as a separate dish?

Stuffing goes in the turkey

Stuffing is it’s own dish

We both stuff the turkey and have a separate dish

We don’t have stuffing at all

We don’t have turkey or stuffing

We don’t have turkey

Other?

my grandmother, from georgia (the US state-so southern, not the country), explained it like this: stuffing goes in the bird, dressing is outside of the bird. i don't know if that explanation is right, but i grew up with it inside the bird (and it was always rather... gooey? gelatinous? just, ew). as an adult, if i do it, it's outside the bird. that way you get a lot of crunchy parts.

not doing dressing this year, and not doing turkey. doing a whole chicken instead.

[glynnisi]

I always heard stuffing was stuffed in the bird and dressing was a side dish to dress it up, too. And, later I heard that stuffing the bird makes it harder to get it to cook through and increases chances of food poisoning. :P

My sister's dressing recipe is great & is my go-to. She'll make it for our family meal and I'll make it for feasting w my husband's fam.

yum

LUCK

Someone... I guess she was tired? Offered some Barbie clothes in a Facebook Barbie group for $20 because they needed TLC and she just didn't feel up to it... and I spent the day doing little Barbie laundry and have recovered them up to a value of at least $200, so far. One of the outfits was only made 1969-1970 for Barbie friend "Julia" and was the whole reason I jumped on the deal and it's easily worth $65 even though it's missing the hat. I love good luck. :)

[moonlightredfern]

I’m all scratched up and I can still taste spray paint in my mouth and my husband almost fell out of a tree BUT THE GHOST SCULPTURES ARE FINISHED!

They’re finally finished and I’m so happy with them!!

Things I've Learned Since I Went Insane & Started Collecting Barbies

There are about a bazillion Barbies in the world.

They can be expensive & addictive & most are super pretty. Except poor Scooter, who is so homely I saw a video where the owner only displays her with a mask on. And I don't WANT poor Scooter in my collection. I don't much want Tutti, either... her eyes kind of scare me sometimes.

African American dolls from the 60's and 70's are rare because fewer of them were made then (Christies & Julias, mostly). They're gorgeous. The original "Black Francie" goes for like $5k now. No African American doll was named "Barbie" until 1980.

"Titan" in place of "Titian" is the "lose/loose" dilemma of Barbie EBay when people try to describe red hair.

It's almost impossible to get smoke smell out of vinyl, not so hard to get it out of cloth.

Barbie dolls & fashions were super well made up until they booted Ruth Handler out of the company (mid 70's). Today's Barbie clothes are trash in comparison.

When they gave up quality as #1 product driver, Mattel got super innovative and tried all sorts of gimmicks. Walking dolls, talking dolls, dolls with sleepy eyes, dolls whose hair grew, dolls whose bust expanded & waists stretched taller, and many many shaving/beardy/hairy Ken variations.

Vintage Francie fashions cost a fortune. Julia clothes cost a fortune. Vintage Francie can wear some of the newest fashions, like the dresses from the Barbie movie. Vintage Barbie cannot because she's bustier.

Oxiclean really works & Vinegar cold wash sets colors.

Barbie hair was super durable, especially given all kids put it through. Original styles hold well and can be restored by novices.

The first Barbie was a knock off of a German sex doll from a newspaper comic.

The original Barbie earring posts were made of copper. Green Ear is horrific, but over a long time may respond to CLR or Zit cream treatment.

1970s Barbie dolls broke a hip about 10x more easily than the ones made in Japan in the 60's.

It's incredibly hard to dress Vintage (1961-67) Ken. I have a lot more sympathy for the time my sister broke off her Ken's thumb now. There were no Kens in 1968 and he got beefier in 1969. Poor new Ken has few really good clothes, most are tragically loud.

It was much easier to dress dolls when I was a kid because I had tiny, nimble fingers and no notion that the green shoes with the little pearls on them could sell for $120 on EBay in 2023 (since they came with a $3 outfit in 1964). I just jammed them on unforgiving high heel feet without a care in the world.

I'm still a child at heart.

UTIs

I keep seeing this commercial where the smiling lady's standing next to the smiling guy and saying she had 8 UTIs in one year.

And I'm like... uh... maybe use the toilet after sex? Drink some cranberry juice? Wash up Mr. Smiley's Mr. Smiley before sex? Switch your birth control? ???

The choice of having the 2 people standing there smiling through the voice over just... well, it's a choice... :O
