Inspired by @georgiaakate_, last year my reading goal was 26 and I read 38. This year increasing to 50 📚 and hopefully 🤞🏼 will get through some of my physical TBR (100+ books) and this will be my thread of books I’ve read 📖
My favorite part about writing is that first spark of an idea. It can happen at any time, for any reason. The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl. I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, @TheGNShow. For those of you who aren’t familiar, it’s a UK late night show where Graham Norton (the insanely charismatic and lovable host) invites a random group of actors, entertainers, musicians, etc to be on his show and we all sit there and chat like it’s a dinner party. They even serve wine. Anyway. I remember thinking I got ridiculously lucky with the group I was paired with. Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and @LewisCapaldi. All people whose work I’ve admired from afar. When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. He’s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*. And so a week later he received an email script I’d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role. I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too. Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90’s with us and help with this video. You might even recognize some friendly faces from The Eras Tour. I got to work with one of my favorite people in the world, Rodrigo Prieto, again! I had more fun than I ever imagined - Made new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices. It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters. Shot on film. The Opalite video is out now on Spotify & Apple Music.

🚨| Taylor Swift talking about “Actually Romantic”:
"Actually Romantic" is a song about realizing that someone else has kind of had a one-sided adversarial relationship with you that you didn't know about.
And all of a sudden they start like, doing too much, and they start letting you know that actually you’ve been living in their head rent-free and you had no idea and it's presenting itself as them sort of resenting you or having a problem with you, but, um, taking that and you just accepting it as love and you accepting it as attention and affection and how flattering that somebody has made you such a big part of their reality when you didn't even think about this It’s actually pretty romantic, if you if you really, really think about it."
Sorry can’t quite get over Lauren wearing nothing but Shein but acting the way she does???? Shop the look gals! Use code BOGANIC69 for 30% off xx #MAFS#MAFSAU
So to recap, Lauren’s descriptions of the other girls include:
- Drunk bogans
- Trolls
- Bunch of animals
- Ugly mute
Couple that with no accountability. Jamie expressing frustration is pretty understandable IMO.
