Edeniste Founder Audrey Semeraro Live Interview

Sceptical or curious? Or both?? - Perfume and neuroscience come together in Edeniste, according to brand founder Audrey Semeraro. Here's my live interview with her.

Science and perfumery have been constant companions for centuries. But one branch of the former that arguably hasn’t featured prominently in fragrance creation is neuroscience. Audrey Semeraro hopes to change this with her new brand, Edeniste. Each of her edps contains a so-called ‘de-stress’ accord, which she claims has been scientifically proven to reduce stress levels. And she also has a range…

The Apocalypse Should Be Easier

Word Count: 1440 ish

Pairings: prinxiety

Summary: Virgil has done many things, but he has never pretended to be a magician in order to watch the Antichrist get himself a new pet.Until the pet doesn't show up, which has far, far bigger consequences than one would think. Good Omens au.

Swearing uwu

Virgil had done many things over the course of his very long, very strange existence. He’d lost a flaming sword due to some Edenistic hijinks, been captured by French rebels for trying to get a loaf of authentic bread, and tempted a priest on a bet with a demon. He’d been around the world and off it more time than he could count. He could tell you what Julius Caesar’s real last words were. He knew every star in the sky and all the ones past it. He could say what it was like to be fire, to be water, to be more than everyone around him.

Until this moment, however, he could not have told you what it was like to be a second-bit magician performing ‘magic’ for the Antichrist and his very bored friends.The experience could honestly be summed up in three words: loss of dignity. He desperately tried to get them to pay attention to the bunny he was pulling out of his top hat (included in the Lil’ Magicians Starter Pack™, only 12.99 at Target), and failed miserably. The little buggers just kept scrolling through Instabook, or whatever it was. Virgil was an interdimensional celestial being, but God dammit if he couldn’t keep track of all the mortal inventions within the telephones they’d created a few years back.

“You’re quite a shit magician, you know?” One of the Antichrist’s friends had torn themselves from their phone, “Your stage presence is completely rubbish. My father could do better than you.”

Virgil grit his teeth. Of course the Destroyer would have a bunch of snot-nosed friends. He glanced down at his watch. 2:38, eight more minutes until the boy turned eleven and his hellhound appeared. Just eight more minutes of trying to avoid sucking too much. “Well, child, I’m sure you’d be better equipped to judge my abilities if you were paying attention.” God, the things Virgil would have done to these brats back in the old days, when She was still in her vengeful phase. Unfortunately though, She’d mellowed out once She had a kid, and now it was all ‘no smiting’ and ‘Great Plan’. Honestly, it was almost enough to make Virgil wish he’d joined the Fallen. There’d been a traffic jam on the way to the dissenter’s meeting, and he’d missed the Fall completely. Traffic in heaven was even worse than Los Angeles, and Virgil had been stopped there at the height of it more than a few times. All the transportation bureaucrats had been sent to Hell, and Virgil’s commute had suffered ever since.

Virgil was rudely shaken out of his brief distraction by a piece of cake. More specifically, a slice of three-hundred dollar devil’s food birthday cake, because coincidence was a bitch, and of course that would be the little shit’s favorite. Said piece was thrown into Virgil’s face. Said throwing was done by Remy, which was the name of the Antichrist, because naming children The Antichrist is largely frowned upon. Said throwing was continued by Remy's friends. Much to Virgil’s dismay. He let it continue for a few minutes, hoping they’d burn themselves out, but when they didn’t, he sighed and put down the hat.

“Alright kids, listen up. I’m sure all your parents are nice people, which is odd because all of you are degenerate little monsters. And the only reason I haven’t stormed out of here middle fingers up is because I need those parents to pay me, so if you little snots have even the slightest bit of empathy for human life, you’ll sit the hell down and shut the heaven up, because I’m relying on this gig for this month’s rent, and I will not let that go down the drain because none of you can be bothered to look up from your iGalaxy 10s and realize that I am a person, not a damned monkey here to do a trick.” Virgil whisper-yelled this, lying through his teeth and overly aware of the parents watching from the back of the outdoor tent he was to ‘perform’ in.

The children looked at each other, and for a moment Virgil hoped that he’d thoroughly admonished them, but alas, he’d forgotten that one particular trait of this era’s youth- the inability to take anything seriously. The gaggle of kids burst out laughing, and Virgil flushed, looking down at his watch. 3:49. Wait, that couldn’t be right. Remy had been born at 3:48. It was written on the walls of End Times, scored into the books of Heaven, burned into the gates of Hell. The child would receive the hellhound on his eleventh birthday exactly, and he would name it, and the naming would begin the apocalypse. So where was the hound? He quickly made eye contact with a man at the back of the crowd, or he would’ve if his eyes weren’t covered in dark sunglasses that hid his eyes completely. Virgil gestured to the watch briefly with a panicked look on his face, and turned back to the children before (hopefully) anyone in the crowd noticed.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons of leaving, despite the fact that he’d just told roughly fifty kids that he couldn’t, but really, what did the opinions of a few little kids matter against a snag in the Great Plan? Not much, but Virgil couldn’t help himself worrying about how they’d feel of him as he dashed out of the tent, running toward his partner in crime’s Bentley, where said partner was already waiting, tossing the keys up and down as he waited for Virgil to reach the car. Seeing him, he unlocked it, climbing into the driver’s seat.

Virgil all but slammed into the passenger seat, panting from his run. (Yes, he was an immortal being. No, that did not mean he had to be fit. Bugger off.) He whipped his head to look at the man in the driver’s seat.

“Roman, what the fuck? Did you know about this? Is this some trick from your people?”

“I could ask the same of you, angel. I’m as confused as you are.�� The lack of an answer sent Virgil into overdrive.

“Maybe it got held up? They forgot to release it? Remy doesn’t have a name yet? Oh God, we lost the Antichrist’s hellhound. Logan is going to discorporate me, isn’t he? Oh God oh God oh God where is he!?” As he said the last sentence, he turned to Roman, grabbing him by the collar of his leather jacket and all but shook him as he panicked.

Roman was equally terrified, but as the one who had given the Antichrist to the Sisterhood of The Chattering Nuns to be given to Remy’s family, he had a sneaking suspicion that they hadn’t lost the hellhound, but something even worse. He gently pried Virgil’s hands off of his jacket, handing (heh) them back to Virgil slowly. “Calm down angel, whatever has happened, shaking the spirit out of me won’t help at all. Deep breaths, Vee, can you do that? Logan isn’t going to do anything to you.” Virgil followed Roman’s advice, taking breathing slowly and deeply as he took his hands from where Roman had still been holding them. The pair sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments, both of them focusing on Virgil’s breathing.

When he looked significantly calmer, Roman turned to him, trying to figure how best to present his theory to Virgil. “I think I may know what happened.”

Virgil’s head turned to Roman so fast Roman thought he was teleporting for a second. “What is it? What do you know? Tell me now or so help me I will get Biblical on your ass, divine benevolence or not.”

“See, the thing is, when I was dropping off the baby, there may have been another family delivering, and you know how Satanic nuns are, they’d lose their heads if they weren’t attached, so there is a little chance that something… may have… gone.... wrong.” Roman trailed off under Virgil’s steely gaze.

“What, exactly, are you saying, Roman.” Virgil all but growled in a tone that reminded Roman just how powerful the angel was.

What I’m saying is,” Roman took a deep breath,”we didn’t lose the hell hound.”

“We lost the child.”

------

About a hundred miles away, an eleven-year-old boy named Thomas took the puppy he’d found in the woods home, and named it Dog.

WIP Tag

Tagged by @aschenink - thanks so much for this!

And I’ll tag… @toboldlywrite, @pen-and-sword-writing, and @silverscreenwriter for this - of course, if you’ve already done it or don’t want to, no pressure or anything!

Empty Space

What is the working title of your book?

Empty Space

Where did the idea for your book come from?

A bit of a variety of places. I had a weird idea after reading The Martian about a guy who got sucked into a black hole and had problems with varying physics in it. Was it a good idea? No. But did it, along with learning more about multiverse theory, give me the basic idea for this book? Kind of.

What genre is your current work in progress?

Science fiction

Choose the actors for your movie rendition.

I know approximately zero actors - there’s a lot of people named Chris and Tom, but that’s about it? So I don’t know, but maaaaaaybe Zendaya could play Anise? That’s the only character I have an idea for - everyone else is just up in the air at this point.

Give a one-sentence synopsis of your book.

A dysfunctional group of engineers invents the wormhole and then have to deal with the consequences of said invention.

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agent?

*shrug* no clue yet.

How long did it take you to write the first draft?

It’s still in progress! I started it near the beginning of May, and I hope to get through at least most of it in the July Camp Nano!

What other books would you compare your story to?

I don’t know? I’d say maybe the Reality Dysfunction trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton - they both have a) wormholes, b) things which no one knows anything about and which kind of(?) came from outside this universe, c) large main casts, and d) two large human factions (Reality Dysfunction: Adamists and Edenists - Empty Space: the League and the Charter).

Who or what inspired you to write the book?

Actually write it? I’m not totally sure, but I found this amazing writing community on tumblr and then I just decided ‘hey, maybe i should actually write this. might be fun.’ and then it was!

What else about your book might pique a reader’s interest?

Wormholes and at-least mostly accurate multiverse theory.

None of that silly ‘characters don’t tell each other all the information and so they don’t trust each other’! These characters share all their information and still don’t trust each other! Progress!…right?

Massive space war happening in the background

Crystalline aliens which look like B-movie plasma globes

Ostensible main character who gets no lines for a lot of the first storyline

Kjiersten

#empty space #kjiersten is the best #ratracechronicler that's for you #and everyone else who loves kjiersten

I'm working hard writing Beast of Eden (the cover is still not public). Lyka, who can blend in with his surroundings like a chameleon has been exiled from the city of Tolba simply because he's Kindred of Eden. The problem is, he was part of a filoz that had just brought Xavia to the planet two days earlier, and she followed him through the portal unbeknownst to everyone. Xavia is a zoologist and an introvert, but prejudice is something she can't tolerate. Now as you know, Earth women are practically worshiped on Eden, so Lyka's pretty concerned about her safety in the jungle. Not only is that where lawbreakers are sent, but there are wild animals to contend with. And then Davos appears, an Edenist Lyka thought was long dead and Davos isn't happy, but that's nothing compared to what happens when they reach Una. This book should be on pre-order next month. I'll be sure to let you know when it is. In the meantime, I did ask one of my Sci-fi Brigraders, Cara Bristol, if I could share her new release with you, and she was happy to oblige. So if you're in the mood for some sci-fi romance, be sure to check Alien Mischief at the end of my rambles. https://www.instagram.com/valentine5062/p/BtMfmbElA_m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ar3euhg8kzr0

Celebrity Cruises Reimagines Onboard Entertainment

One of the six duplex villas on each Celebrity Edge ship. Each one has a plunge pool. The ship also reimagines onboard entertainment by adding cutting-edge performance art. Celebrity Cruises

Skift Take: Cruise lines have long attempted, with mixed results, to woo younger customers. Avante-garde shows may not do the trick on their own. But the effort to try new things is worthwhile.

— Sean O'Neill

Somewhere in the middle of the Mediterranean, a painter seeks to find his muse in an original new show: It involves flying bicycles, a beatbox musician, and acrobats hanging from silks and ladders.

If the show sounds Cirque du Soleil-ish, it is. The Montreal-based troupe just launched its first at-sea extravaganza, complete with the option of a pre-show dinner, onboard the new 4,500-passenger MSC Meraviglia.

When the 2,908-passenger Celebrity Edge is launched next year, it will feature an interactive spectacle created with producers of off-Broadway’s experiential Queen of the Night dinner theater.

The restaurant where it will be performed nightly has been designed to evoke the Garden of Eden, and when diners enter, actors called “Edenists” will whisper mysterious, scene-setting phrases into their ears before vocalists, acrobats, and dancers take the stage.

As ever-bigger cruise ships mean that a more diverse crowd is lining up to be entertained, the world of cruise-ship performing arts is evolving. Turns out entertainment can be a key factor when it comes to acquiring and retaining customers among the competitive cruise-line set—and people love to be surprised. In the expanding industry, executives are also betting passengers will even be willing to pay for premium shows, like the Eden event, unlocking a potential new revenue stream.

That’s not to say that the days of bland Broadway revues, cheesy dance numbers, and uninspired magic acts—largely performed by inexperienced actors—are totally over. But serious competition from new creators is recasting the way cruisers think about entertainment at sea.

Changing Tides

“We need more venues for more tastes, age groups, and nationalities,” said Gary Glading, head of entertainment and guest experiences for MSC Cruises. So in addition to its lineup of 45-minute themed variety shows—which feature singers, dancers, and sword swallowers—MSC has invested $22 million to create a theater for Cirque du Soleil on the high-tech Meraviglia. (It’s the first of four MSC ships to develop such a space.)

The 413-seat entertainment and dining lounge is custom-designed with intricate rigging for aerial acts—hallmarks of the two Cirque shows that are now playing on the ship six days a week.

On its new 4,140-passenger MSC Seaside, which will make its debut out of Miami in December, MSC is also testing improvisational comedy shows by Toronto-based troupe BeerProv (as in, “unscripted comedy on tap”).

“People are looking for something that’s different, that’s not the same beige product everyone else is turning out,” Glading said.

Original Acts

Richard Ambrose, vice president of entertainment for Norwegian Cruise Line, says “there is nothing wrong with a revue. Broadway has started to do ‘juke box’ musicals, and that’s the same thing.” But some shipboard options are better than others, he added.

Still, on their latest and largest ships, both Norwegian and Royal Caribbean have been replacing revues with more relevant options. Some are slightly shortened versions of Broadway musicals—a little trip to the Great White Way in the middle of the great blue sea.

They include such classics as Grease and Saturday Night Fever on Royal Caribbean, or more recent hits such as Rock of Ages and After Midnight on Norwegian. The shows of yesteryear barely even had a storyline; these have dialogue, upgraded costumes, and proper sets, just like their land-based counterparts. Some even feature members of the New York casts and production teams.

That’s just one strategy at play. Celebrity, Royal Caribbean’s sister brand, is focusing on original productions, some with aerial acrobatics and high-tech effects—already, it has 18 such shows in its lineup.

Elyria is its most daring: It’s a slightly risqué, avant-garde love story with choreography by industry veterans who have worked with Madonna and Kylie Minogue. The show was launched in 2015 on Celebrity Constellation and was an immediate hit.

And then there’s Edge, which hopes to push the boundaries further when it is launched in December 2018. With interactive elements reminiscent of the immersive theater phenomenon Sleep No More, the show will be different each time guests go. That’s an industry first, according to Becky Thomson-Foley, Celebrity’s associate vice president of entertainment. People might go several times during a trip.

“The younger generation wants more choices than ever,” said Sarah Beth Reno, vice president of entertainment at Carnival Cruise Line, which has cut its main stage song-and-dance shows down to a bitesize 35 to 45 minutes, so people also have time to pursue such other options as stand-up comedy and live music.

“People want to walk around and experience everything that is available,” agreed MSC’s Glading. “I call it the buffet syndrome. They don’t want to miss out on anything.”

Jazz Hands in the Board Room

The recent fact is, shipboard stage experiences are translating to quarterly earnings.

For starters, some of the new entertainment comes with an extra price tag for guests, unlocking a brand-new revenue stream. (Even for cruises that charge for select activities and specialty dining, theater has always been all-inclusive.) MSC’s Cirque shows are $42 (€35) with dinner, $18 without. Celebrity’s Eden show will also come with a cost, which has yet to be determined.

At Norwegian, which first introduced a dinner theater circus (created by Florida-based Cirque Productions) in 2010, the profits are obvious. The theater on Norwegian Breakaway, one of three ships with the show, holds 245; with nine shows a week at $39.99 (including dinner), performance revenue on that ship alone can hit $4.5 million a year.

“I remember people, even industry experts, saying, ‘Oh my god, that will never work,’” said Celebrity’s Thomson-Foley, referring to optional shipboard specialty restaurants with an admission fee, something that has become an industry norm. “I wouldn’t be surprised if that kind of leads that way with entertainment.”

“We’ve definitely seen a shift in our guests telling us entertainment is a deciding factor for them,” said Thomson-Foley, citing surveys from last year. And according to MSC’s Glading, “Entertainment isn’t the reason they book—it’s the reason they come back.”

Ships as Theater Incubators

The better cruise ship entertainment gets, the more seriously the theater industry is taking it. “Back in the day cruise ship entertainment was just below accordion players. There was no respect,” said Norwegian’s Ambrose. When he started in the business a decade ago, producers wouldn’t even return his calls. Now they’re calling him about their Broadway and West End debuts, hoping to collect franchise fees for road productions at sea (where shows are likely to be performed for years).

Some New York City shows may soon get their starts at sea.

The original, Cuban-themed musical being developed for Norwegian Bliss by Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Warren Carlyle (After Midnight), for instance, is attracting interest by land-based producers. It’s the first time an original production developed by a cruise company is garnering attention from outsiders, Ambrose said.

And it’s no wonder: The as-yet-untitled show is being composed by Grammy award winner Albita Rodriguez, with costumes by Tony nominee Isabel Toledo.

So how did cruise shows get so good? The short answer is money. Cruise companies are investing in talent and striking partnerships with award-winning directors, choreographers, costumers, and set makers rather than buying package deals off the shelf from no-name producers.

They’re also investing in rehearsal facilities that would make land-based professionals weep: Rather than practicing in conference rooms at motels, as they once did, cruise actors now have state-of-the-art spaces, such as a $32 million studio that Royal Caribbean opened in south Florida in 2015.

The contracts that guarantee eight to 10 months of employment? They’re icing on the cake.
