fame dr . motivation . 70s / 80s/ 90s
꒰ঌ ‧ first class pre-9/11 air travel
꒰ঌ ‧ smoking anywhere && everywhere ; the smell of stale tobacco lingering on everything
꒰ঌ ‧ the flash of old cameras, the sound of the shutter clicking then hissing
꒰ঌ ‧ seeing your face on weird tabloid magazines at the grocery store
꒰ঌ ‧ opening the car door out onto the red carpet && being flashbanged ; the musk of the wet street (after fresh rain), of cigarettes, and of sweaty bodies and expensive perfume
꒰ঌ ‧ being recognised in public by name
꒰ঌ ‧ getting to talk to random actors / directors / musicians / comedians because you run in the same circles as them ; bumming a cigarette off of tarantino
꒰ঌ ‧ the intimacy of a loud social event ; thank you jordan baker
꒰ঌ ‧ going to the movies being a capital-o Occasion
꒰ঌ ‧ potpourri ; dried flowers and spices stinking it up in every bathroom
꒰ঌ ‧ coke scandals rather than ozempic allegations
꒰ঌ ‧ seeing the milky way in the night sky ; stargazing && seeing actual stars
꒰ঌ ‧ being genuinely able to drop off the face of the earth, and go anywhere, with no way for the media to constantly watch or keep tabs on where you are ; out into the desert on a whim
꒰ঌ ‧ a notably lacking amount of creepy veneers
꒰ঌ ‧ everyone smelling like their houses ; celebrities, your friends, smelling like the places they live ; their cars and their bedrooms and their bags and their things all smelling like them ; etc
꒰ঌ ‧ only physical media ; records and cds
꒰ঌ ‧ a live studio audience churning with laughter, your view of them blacked out by blinding stage lights
꒰ঌ ‧ no one on their phones!!
