Dear Internet, My name is Dior and I really want my daddy to get married. I live with my dad, and even though he's the best dad in the world, I really wish I had a mom. I wish I had someone to braid my hair, read me bedtime stories, and play dress up with. Dad tries his best, but he's not so great at those things. I just want a nice mommy who will love me and my dad. If you know anyone who might be interested, or maybe any tips for finding a mom, please let me know. Leave a message for me and dad. I promise to read every reply and consider every suggestion.

Dior's Step Mom Applications 🧸

Dior is looking for a mommy and the future wife of her daddy, Lamar. Life hasn't been easy for the two of them. Lamar's growing up in a toxic household led to his turning to a life of crime. Lamar turned cold and distant from the world, not caring if he ended up dead or in jail. But that all changed when he met a woman, and one thing led to another. When Lamar found out he was going to be a dad, it was like time stopped. The moment he laid eyes on his little girl, he felt true love. But after suffering postpartum, Dior's mother left a few months after she was born. Now a single dad, Lamar decided to do everything in his power to make a better life for Dior.

Lamar | 32, Loner, Ambitious, Kleptomaniac

Process: Submit a sim for Dior's Wish by replying to Dior's letter in your post and remember to tag @shadowtrait and use #diorswish

Year-End Poll #10: 1959

More information about this blog here

Welcome to the year of pining for love and killing people.

I'm kidding. This is the first year-end chart after the implementation of the Hot 100, resulting in a larger pool of music to pull from. It's interesting how the presence of rock and roll doesn't feel as strong as it's been in previous years. Dick Clark, a radio and television personality at the time (who will definitely come up in future entries) advised Bobby Darin not to release Mack the Knife because he worried a traditional pop/jazz track wouldn't work in a post-rock and roll musical landscape. Mack the Knife ended up winning Record of the Year at the second ever Grammy Awards and the first to be televised.

I bring this up, not to spend too much time focusing on a single song, but to show the various ways the music scene has changed in the mainstream. With both the Hot 100 and the Grammy Awards, we're seeing a shift in how music is being talked about and consumed. However, looking at the origins of the Grammy Awards makes the absence of rock and roll on the charts feel rather eerie, especially after the numerous blatant examples of racial bias centering the awards. Even with all of the marketable white faces, rock and roll is still a Black genre. To many people in the industry, rock and roll wasn't a fad -- it was a threat. I found one quote claiming that in 1957 [the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences] "didn't want to slave to the enthusiasm of teenage girls". I was not able to confirm the source of the quote, but its sentiment can still be felt to this day. Rock and roll was considered juvenile, loud, sexual, dangerous, and Black. It was everything white America was afraid of and something the National Academy had in mind when creating the thesis behind the Grammy Awards.

Did this effort to shield the musical landscapes from the shifting tides pay off? Will the "enthusiasm of teenage girls" never touch the charts again?

I'll see you all in the 1960s.

this was good- the tent story is at 33:20 the campground they chose was 50 km west of the rink and traffic could be brutal. a budget decision for July and September. they like camping. 3 weeks was a bit long. camped in Lake Placid the week after the summer competition, hiked - they're outdoorsy. it wasn't a curveball for them. a good area to save a bit of money for when they need it the most. she feels more refreshed sleeping on a harder surface, he didn't have any problems

in New York, they train alone, no other teams around, so going to Montreal, with 20 other teams is a good balance - they learn a lot from watching the other teams, and it lights a fire to be around them, to have other teams watching them

at Junior Worlds, Oona got food poisoning. he heard her throwing up at 1 am but didn't know how bad it was until they went to the rink, and he said let's jog like they usually do, and she said ...i can't...😥and curled into a ball. she pushed through, had no energy to be nervous, and they won

for the OnIcePerspectives video of their Metallica program that went viral during the lockdown - they trained for that the same way they'd train for a competition

their RD: Oona listened to a lot, they had I'm Still Standing as a top choice, so they decided to do all Elton - a coincidence that it comes from an album called Ice on Fire. they took it to Montreal, Romain would suggest let's put this here, let's put this there, and Gage would cut the music every day. their other coaches had input about other songs, they have a group text with the IAM coaches and went back and forth to shape the program

FD: wanted to skate to All by Myself for a long time, especially Oona, but felt like they weren't ready for it last season. threw a lot of pieces as suggestions to IAM, and this was the one they also responded most strongly to. the first month working on that program, he would stay up really late cutting the music as they shaped it. Hugo Chouinard helped for the final product. they started the process of looking for program music 2 weeks after Nationals, were making the programs by March

costumes: reused previous costumes for the RD because the new ones weren't ready- they needed to be altered, and they didn't have time before Finlandia, then they went almost straight into their GPs. she says they're getting sick of these, they'll have the new ones for Nationals

training for back to back GPs after Finlandia: started off lighter in between, had faith in their endurance and training. didn't go down in intensity between the GPs. was worried about how at competitions you skate much less, and how that would affect their fatigue levels

next up is Nationals. goals- more focused on total scores and points. may shift to thinking more about placement. want top 5-6 at Nationals. there are so many - 4-5 teams- right there with them. anybody's game. a goal to show up and have solid skates and see what happens. details, more speed, more flow - going to Montreal after Thanksgiving for 3 weeks. a bunch of Xmas shows in the city that help performing in front of an audience

what sets them apart from everyone else- Oona: we're small 😂 Gage- have gotten the compliment before that they're fiery. sometimes it's not a compliment, like they're always go go go go, too much, need to take a deep breath. so, having the fire but also want to show they can take a deep breath too. but other teams are good at that as well. this season can be a time to set ourselves apart and find out what does

another skater's style they take inspiration from? not really - not trying to be like them. be unique, be themselves. take inspiration from Tessa and Scott, but our skating styles aren't similar. a lot of skaters at Monreal that we'll watch. not modeling our skating but our mentality. they motivate you in a way because they're there and skating so well, it makes you push harder

styles they like to skate: tango. he prefers that to Latin because they can look stern and look at each other stern😅 they like doing hip hop and blues and 80s. they like older music, 70s 80s.

how are they similar or different from each other-- he's more outspoken and social. their humor is similar at times (she says not all the time) their dedication and passion towards what they're doing are similar. both musical - they play in a bagpipe band. are doing the interview from South Carolina at a bagpipe competition. their older brother is a drummer in an Irish marching band. Gage wanted to play a loud instrument. found a competitive Irish pipe and drum band

like being busy- they sightsee at competitions, get requests to bring back magnets, shirts, mugs for their 5 siblings and parents

favorite program of the past 4 seasons from any discipline: VM Moulin Rouge. Gage: it made me feel some kind of way. Nathan's Nemesis. HD's last free dance. Kaitlin and Jean-Luc's programs. their last year's made him teary eyed- they move me. i want our programs to be that way- make tears happen. but Moulin Rouge is #1
