Zendaya dragged a man who asked Twitter users if they would rape her in a real ‘purge’

Zendaya isn’t here for your rape “jokes” that promote violence against women. When @ogxbenson polled his followers who they would rape if the Purge were real, the Disney star immediately called him out for the disgusting question. Perhaps more shocking are the disturbing responses by men who answered @ogxbenson’s question.

Waking Up Tour Experience

061819 | Emblem3

The day has finally arrived. So happy and excited to see my boys. It’s been too long. These boys put on the best shows. 

So Friday, I was working on my group work bc I wouldn’t have ime to do in Saturday night. I ended up getting only three hours of sleep. I was so tired. My head hurt. I didn’t eat till 10 am. I was going to leave at 12 pm. It was sooo god damn hot at the temple. So I finally went home. I didn’t even shower till 1. We had to check in at 3:30. I was so tired. I decided not to wear makeup bc I knew we would come home late and I didn’t want to go through the hassle of wiping it off. I just wanted to come home and sleep. I wore workout pants and a sports bra because I knew I was going to be jumping around and jamming hard. I was going to make faces like I did at BandLife, but I didn’t have time bc im taking 7 units in a five week period, so summer school is kicking my butt. I promised Keaton at Santa Monica but totally did not pull through. Sorry keats :(

So we finally arrived and got in the Early Entries line. I just took my accounting homework out and started doing that. They finally let us in for “soundcheck”. It was only two songs. Then we got posters and a lanyard. We went back outside and waited in the VIP line. It was so worth it getting early entries bc we had to come out while M&G were still in there. Then we got to get in line first before M&G. We waited outside forever. I got subways and water. We met this girl’s mom. She was super nice and sweet. Finally we were going in and the security guard said he is going to have to wand us. That didn’t even happen. We got in. My sister got like second row. I went to the restroom. When I came back out she suddenly got like pushed back bc two wheelchairs came to be on the sides of where she was. The girls in back of us were being so obnoxious and immature. You could hear them saying that they were going to shove everyone aside to get to the front. I wasn’t about to let that happen. That’s so rude. And they had the audacity to ask me how old I thought they were. Lmao. They looked like they were 12 and acted like they were 12. I was just being nice and said 15. 

Opening acts finally started. Couldn’t get in the mood with them. I wasn’t feelin their music. Although, The Ready Set’s Love Like Woe was my jam in middle school and I even put it in my senior project for high school. It was so fun jamming to that song live. 

FINALLY, E3 came on at like fucking 10:30. Bitches, behind me started shoving. Wasn’t gonna let that happen. They kept shoving this skinny girl right next to me. Held her so she wouldn’t get fucking whiplash. Jammed so hard to their set. So much fun. Everyone was sweaty. It was gross. Omitting a lot of info. Caught Wes singing to me a few times. I felt like he was staring in my direction, but I couldn’t really see his eyes so I put my glasses on. Then I could see his eyes. I feel like he was singing to me. I felt like he remembered me and my sis because he was looking at us when he was singing. Like switching gazes between us. There was one time when he was just looking at me and singing for a while. Idk is he was looking at me or not but I blew him a kiss anyways and he smiled. Ahhh wes. You are such a cutie. I was looking down at my phone and wes ended up throwing his pick in our direction. Suddenly, everyone around me started screaming and I’m like wtf. and Tia’s like DID YOU CATCH IT? and i was like catch what? and shes like HE JUST THREW THE PICK. I shined my flash light and the girl next to me was stepping on it. I tried to grab it but I couldn’t. Then idk why people started pushing so we ended up moving to the side a little. I shined the flashlight again and I saw it and quickly grabbed it. Now I have a pick from wes and keats. Someone started smoking weed and my sis is very sensitive to smell she was about to throw up. She got a napkin and put it over her nose. I was looking down at my phone bc my mom texted me and I looked up right when drew asked if we’re okay but idk if he was talking to us so I just looked down. He was looking our way so I’m pretty sure he was asking my sister that. He’s such a sweetie pie. The keys ended up malfunctioning so they improved a few songs. then something happened with the mic or earpiece or i don’t even know. They also started singing Jaiden and wes was saying how Drew wrote it about a girl that went to Thailand to study Buddhism. Hello Drew, I’m Buddhist. and I’m Thai. Hit me up. lol jk. But he should def come to the Thai Temple in the valley. 

 It was finally over. When we were walking out, I saw Strombros dad and stepmom. Wanted to take a pic with the so waited till they stopped talking to this girl. While we were waiting, I was trying to find Kory and I finally saw him so I ran to him to take a pic with him. I asked if I could take a pic with him and asked him to take it bc I absolutely hate taking selfies and I’m absolutely not good at taking selfies. I stood next to him and wrapped my arm around his waist and he put his arm over my shoulder. We were about to take the pic when this girl just came up to ask him why people are taking pics with him. Like seriously. Kory’s Wes’s best friend. So I gave him a side hug and I was like “he’’s the best friend” and he’s like “for wearing this jacket” Kory, you goof. Anyways, he got the pic and then my sis took a pic with him too. Totally forgot to hug him. Totally forgot to tell him congrats on his modeling gigs.

 Rushed back to Mr. Stromberg. The girl was finally done talking and I was like “Hi!" and gave me a hug and kissed my forehead. He was like “hi” and their step mom was like “hey, how are you?” and I’m like “good! how did you feel about your sons performing tonight?” and they said they were proud and yaddy ya. I went to stand between them to take the pic and Mr. Stromberg kissed me on the head again. Then when I was done taking the pic he kissed me on the forehead again. He then asked my sis if she wanted to take a pic too. When we were done, I said thanks so much! and they were like Thanks for coming!! they were so sweet. I didn’t want to wait after to meet the boys because I knew they were going to take a while to come out since all their friends and fam was there. Plus, I needed to wake up early for the Thai Temple. Went home. Too excited to sleep. The show was amazing. Love them so much. Can’t wait to see more.

Shane Harper | Capitol Records | 051616

Finally have time to write my experience meeting Shane at Capitol Records. 

Before the day

He tweeted a rsvp link inviting us to a private rehearsal. My sister saw it in when he just posted and immediately signed up for it. I forgot all about because I was working all day. Finally saw it again five hours later when I went on twitter. Thought I was too late but signed up anyways. I got freaked out when they emailed me back. I was so excited. I was like why didn’t my sister get an email back though. It’s been four years since I saw him live and I missed him so much. He’s an amazing performer. 

Day of

So the thing told us to arrive at 5. I thought there was going to be traffic so we left at 4:30 and got there at like 4:45. We were the first ones there. Grace told us she left our name with security so to just tell him our name and they’ll let us in. When I told security our name, he’s like “you aren’t on the list.” and I’m like what. And he’s like, “yeah, all our appointments we had today all came already.” and then I show him the email and he let us in to the front desk. I told her what we were here for and she looked confused. I was just thinking “oooohhhh mmmyy gooooddd. whattt isss goinggg onnn?” She asked me for the person who emailed us name and I told her mine because I thought she asked for mine. She started calling a number and I’m like “wtfff. Who the heck is she calling?” and I was like “OH! You mean HER name?” and she’s like yah and I told her and she called that girl. Grace came down and talked to us for a while. She said we were early so we can just chill. She asked us how long we been shane fans and I kept telling her four years, because that’s the last time I saw him, but I actually liked him since GLC. Other girls started coming and it ended up being a total of 10 girls. 

We made our way up to a room to wait for Shane. We were waiting for like 5 to 10 mins and I was freaking out thinking like “oh myyy good. I haven’t seen him in forever. I didn’t even get to meet him last time.” Grace played us some songs that were on his EP.

The door opened and I saw him come in. I was literally like wide eyes, open mouth, my gaze just following him as he walked in. My heart was beating so hard and my hands were shaking. He sat down in front of us and was like “Hey guys, I’m Shane. I’m super tired. I just flew here after filming Dirty Dancing.”  Blah blah blah. Then he’s like “so you want to hear a few songs from my EP?” He played Like I Did and See You Around for us. I was swooning hard core. I was dying in my seat. I couldn’t contain my smile. I was sad that it wasn’t an actual rehearsal. It was just two songs. I was so ready to hear all the songs and jam to what he was going to perform on tour. After that he sat down again and we went for introductions. We stated our names and where we are from. Then he was like “This feels like speed dating. Hi, I’m Shane. and I like long walks on the beach.” I said my name and I don’t like saying where I live because it’s in the ghetto so I just said the valley and he’s like “just the valley” and I’m like yeah. I should have just said Northridge bc that’s where I’ve been going to school my whole life. And I think he lives in Porter Ranch because my friend saw him playing ball at a court there. Then my sis went and said “same thing as her, we’re twins” and he’s like “you guys are twins?!” and we were like “yeah” and him and cooper were like “they even said it at the same time” “it’s a twin thing”. then he was like “okay so i’m shane” lmao. Then yahdy yahdy yah we started to take group pics. Then individual pics. I didn’t want to go first because I wanted time to talk to him. I wanted to take a pic with Sullivan but I was to scared to ask. It was our turn and my sis took a pic with him. Then it was my turn and I wanted to tell him about the Roxy show four years ago. So I was like “Hi Shane, you probably don’t remember us but we had the ‘We Love Shane Harper’ poster at the Roxy show.” And he’s like “no way. I do remember” and stuck up his hands and I thought it was a high ten so I made an attempt to smack our hands but he grabs them and entwines it and at this moment, I was gone. I was just thinking “OH MY GOD. WHAT THE FUCK. HE’S HOLDING MY HANDS SO HARD. OMG IM ACTUALLY HOLDING HIS HAND. MY SISTER BETTER BE TAKING PICTURES RN. WHAT IS HE SAYING, I DONT EVEN HEAR HIM TALKING RN. HE’S HOLDING MY HANDS FOR SO LONG. WHY ISNT HE LETTING GO. OMG” but I just kept talking to him and I was like “yah that was like my first show EVER and I didn’t know if I stayed behind, I could have met you” and at this point he let go and I was like sad face but then he was like “are you going to see me on this tour?!” and i’m like “no because..” and hes like “oh because it’s sold out?” and I was like “no, I bought tickets to another show already!” and hes like “what? what show?” and I’m like “emblem3″ and he’s like “aww it’s okay, they’re cool dudes.” and I’m like “you have to do a solo show because I will so go to that.” Then he was like “yeah my team is working on that right now.” Then we took a pic and my sister was like “Shane, I was going to ask if you’re ever going to release the songs you put on soundcloud?” and he’s like “oh yeah, those might make it to my full record or I might just give those to you” and I was like “can you because they were so good. I love them so much” and he’s like “yeah those were really personal” Then we thanked him and was just standing around because we didn’t know what to do. Grace started talking to us about how she picked the fans and how she organized this thing. Then she was like go talk to people and I’m like no, I’m socially awkward. And they had his EP playing in the background and Satellite finally came on so I totally started jamming to that--singing and dancing-- and someone on his team was like “oh look she knows all the lyrics to it” and I turned around and I was like “this is my jam.” (Still wishing he put Just Another Face on it though). And when they started clearing everyone out my sis wanted another pic with him then I was like “Oh, I wanted to ask what you thought about the Clippers series” and he’s like “I was so sad” and I was like “yeah, did you see Austin River’s eye” and he’s like “yeah” and my sister’s like “who’s your fave player?” and he’s like “hmmm, i got to say..” and I was like “CP3″ and he’s like “yeah definitely” and tia’s like “JJ REDICK” and he’s was like “yeah, JJ too.” and somewhere in the convo I was like “bc we like Clippers too” and he’s like “have you ever been to a game??” and I’m like “NOO I wanted to!” and he’s like “we should definitely go to one together! just hit me with a DM!” and I’m like wtf “OKAY!” then we got hugs and I thanked him and everyone. All the other girls were waiting for us in the elevator. Whoops. My bad. We went down. I thanked Grace. I called my mom to pick me up and she was in Thaitown so we went to Starbucks and came back to the Capitol Records building to wait for her. She picked us up and we went to eat dinner with my friend who lives in Hollywood.

Notes

I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to Capitol Records and Shane for this opportunity. It was so cool and intimate. No artist I know of have ever done something like this before. It was so special to do this with his fans. You best believe I will go to the solo LA show. And it needs to happen soon because I’m going to school in WI for the Fall semester. :(

When you have to make your own food, and you’ve been watching too much food network lately

[nerdgasrnz]

What you have before you are deconstructed, rustic chicken breast fritters coated lightly in breadcrumbs and toasted until crisp and golden- the sauce is a tomato, worcestershire, and vinegar reduction, with the vinegar for some brightness, and some brown sugar for sweetness to offset the umami of the chicken
