I want the Queen to be reincarnated as Trisha Paytas' baby 👑
I want the Queen to be reincarnated as Trisha Paytas' baby 👑
Whew.
Last week for the pop culture girls was a busy one, and it seems as if there is no reprieve is in sight. I’m still catching my breath from it all (well, from that and after seeing Harry Edward Styles this weekend at MSG, but I digress…). I’d like to congratulate and thank everyone who made last week a fun one on the Internet. Great work by all involved.
This issue of the newsletter will be more of a thinking exercise, dear reader, as I’d love to get you thinking and spark a dialogue on the topics below. And to also be a bit snarky, of course.
Let’s do a quick reap of everything that has occurred, shall we?
HRM Queen Elizabeth ll passed away. RIP girli pop.
Despite much speculation, Trisha Paytas did not go into labor yet, and therefor the Queen was not reincarnated into her baby. Fingers remained cross though.
Don’t Worry Darling and spit-gate. Need I say more, other than that we are indeed worried?
Lea Michele began her run as Fanny Brice in Broadway’s Funny Girl. A mere few days later, she tested positive for COVID and the people’s Fanny Julie Benko returned in the role. Takeaway is this production is cursed.
NYFW
And that’s just scraping the surface.

To briefly touch on my experience seeing Harry, other than it being euphoric, I left Madison Square Garden thinking that there is not an ounce of creativity amongst us the fandom, myself included, when it comes to style. I saw at least five others with the same pants as myself, as we all tried to embody the bubbly, colorful, 70s aesthetic Mr. Styles is known for.
The tweet below has also had me thinking for the past 24 hours, and indeed does have me worried. We must prevent this!
Now I’m not a hardcore Kar-Jenner gal (I generally save that part of my brain for Broadway news), but I do keep myself informed. Kim’s Interview Magazine cover and feature was released last week, to very little fuss. When I first saw it, I thought to myself, “Well this is a flop,” and I wasn’t alone in those thoughts. I saw many “this is the Kardashian decline” sentiments, and I don’t disagree. It feels as if the family’s attempts at capturing the public’s attention are more and more dull, uninteresting, and not innovative. We’ve been force fed the same content for years now - do we care anymore?
The cover in question
My favorite moment of NYFW so far was the Fendi Baguette show (video below), with a cameo by supermodel Linda Evangelista. You might recall that Evangelista recently opened up about a cosmetic procedure that she said left her “disfigured.” A giant of the 90s supermodel heyday, Evangelista had not made a runway appearance in over a decade. This was indeed a massive moment of this fall’s Fashion Week.

Shows I’ve recently watched:
Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal
Blackbird on Apple TV+, starring Taron Egerton
House of the Dragon. This past Sunday’s episode 🥵
What are you currently watching?
And finally, here’s a photo from a recent event of of my friend Whitney Ullman and I with Tre, Dorinda, and Dolores (because why not?).
As a quick recap of questions to discuss:
Is Harry Styles receiving the Justin Timberlake treatment, and therefor destined to a terrible fate?
Are we bored of the Kar-Jenners, and in turn are they over?
What was your favorite NYFW moment?
Is the Funny Girl production cursed?
What shows are you watching?
Thank you as always for reading, and share your thoughts!
