from @vogueweddings on ig . “Bride @rachaelrodgers outfit change was timed to the cake cutting. To cut it, the bride slipped into a bikini by Milan-based label @adrianahotcouture with three-dimensional floral appliqués that she had discovered only three days before. “I emailed [the designer], and I was like, ‘Babe, can I borrow this bikini?’” says Rodgers.”
“She accessorized the suit with a pair of pink silk opera gloves that her grandmother took a liking to. “My grandmother was like, ‘The gloves show that you’re a lady.’ And I was like, ‘What does the bikini show?’” Photo: Courtesy of @maximeballesteros”

The Truth Together by Kelly Rodgers
A tension-filled historical novel of the Deep South, with characters to love, family relationships, corruption, and the legacy of slavery
I have to admit that novels based in the Deep South of America always hold a fascination for me as they evoke, usually, deep seated tensions that remain from a divisive history. With that in mind, Kelly Rodgers’ book is typical as there is racism and prejudice here, it being set mainly at the start of the twentieth century, when segregation was prevalent and coloured people were still considered…

Updated stream list
I've been getting a lot of questions/requests regarding possible streams and thought it might be helpful to catalog everything we've watched so far! I'll keep it pinned and updated moving forward.
Longtime crowd favorites (streamed at least three times) are marked with a single asterisk.
Why isn’t [specific actor/video] on this list?
The video is currently marked not for trade.
We haven’t gotten to it yet.
The footage does not exist or is too incomplete.
It isn't on a platform I can stream it from.
There's something particularly off-putting about the video or actor.
How can I get a copy of a video listed here?
There's a list of publicly available bootlegs here, and there are many other adaptations on the Phantom Retrospective channel. Otherwise, contact @glassprism (or another trader) for a possible trade, or check her website for info on which master(s) to contact.
For general stream info, please see the Saturday Streams FAQ.

The True Story of the Boise Murder House
805 W Linden Street in Boise, Idaho, its covered in a layer of soot, with windows broken and boarded up and trash strewn about the yard, the 2-story, 2,728 square-foot Craftsman-style home looks like an abandoned horror movie set. 
Known commonly as the Boise Murder House, the home is also sometimes referred to by locals as the Chop-Chop House, a glib reference to the gruesome homicide that took place there more than three decades ago. In the early morning hours of June 30th, 1987, 37-year-old Daniel Rodgers and 31-year-old Daron Cox shot and killed 21-year-old Preston Murr in the basement of Rodgers’s home at 805 W Linden Street. The two men then used an axe and knife to dismember his corpse, wrapped the pieces in plastic bags, and drove to the Idaho-Oregon border to dump the body parts in the Brownlee Reservoir. Horrifying as the facts of the crime are, there is one detail more haunting than the rest: Murr almost escaped.
According to court documents, an altercation broke out around midnight between the three men and Murr was shot in the shoulder by one of the two others. Having somehow managed to flee the home, he ran to a nearby house and banged on the door begging for help, but no one answered. The neighbor inside did call the police, however. He reported hearing pounding on his door, as well as someone screaming “let go of me,” followed by an anguished yell. Peeking out his window, he saw someone chasing Murr, eventually catching him and dragging him back into the basement of Rodger’s home, where he was fatally shot in the back of the head.
Though police never responded that night, they were called again the next morning by the same neighbor who asked officials to come investigate blood on his screen door. The blood found throughout the neighborhood—on sidewalks and at least one other neighboring house—further painted a harrowing picture of Murr’s desperate attempt to escape his murderers the night before. While the crime scene has long since been cleaned up, a dark legacy lingers around 805 W Linden Street to this day.
It’s unclear what happened to the house in the immediate years after Rodgers was sent to the Idaho State Correctional Center to serve out a life sentence without parole, but property records available online list a new owner, James Howell, as of 2000. Howell has since rented the house to a number of tenants and, given its proximity to Boise State University, it’s become a popular choice among students seeking off-campus housing. As a result, local lore about the house has a decidedly collegiate flair: One persistent rumor claims that fraternity brothers have reported seeing blood dripping down the walls of the basement for years. While there is no truth to this tale—and 805 W Linden was never an official frat house—many former residents say there is something “off” about the space.
“The basement was creepy and had a weird feel. We would take people down there to scare them. I never saw any ghosts but you could tell something wasn't right,” Joe W., a former BSU student, told a local radio station, 107.9 LITE FM. Another Boise resident, Rachel R., told the station that her family almost bought the house back in 2000, and to this day she still gets anxious when thinking about their tour of the home. “It looked like it had been abandoned and the basement was by far the creepiest part,” she said. But of all the accounts shared with 107.9, the strangest tale, submitted by Dan D., goes well beyond the basement.
According to his story, one night Dan and his friend thought they heard someone trying to break into the house. When they went out to the front porch to check things out, no one was there. After looking around the front yard, Dan turned to face the house and saw a “big black oily looking thing” in the window of a bedroom upstairs. He remembers seeing the shadow-y figure move back from the window and towards the bedroom door before it disappeared. Shortly after, it reappeared outside in a mirror sitting on the porch. Dan watched as the “ball of oily blackness” moved down the large column of the porch, slowly growing in size until it took up the entire reflection of the mirror and moved right through him. “It was the weirdest, most disturbing thing I've ever felt and just typing this makes me feel it again. It's like ice fingers sinking into my shoulders,” he said.

Book of the Month!
This is the book I completed this month! I love this book! It was so insightful, enlightening, and had such a relatable common-sense approach!
This is the other book I'm finishing!
This book is free and I love this book!!! I am going to be writing a post about what I've learned later this month. This book is a game changer and shows that even though you can have it all you can't do it all!

Nine Mutuals I’d Like to Know Better
Tagged by @stormbeyondreality
To quote Nin:
Tumblr media
3 Ships
The DC Trinity. I will forever support Batman x Superman x Wonder Woman. ALWAYS.
Ralof and Hadvar. I just like it. A lot.
Stucky. Bucky Barnes and Steve Rodgers FUCKED. I will not elaborate.
First Ship
Probably Tasha and Tyrone from Backyardagains. That was my favorite show as a kid, and I saw their similar head shapes and went “yes. Head shape = love.”
Last Song
What Else Can I Do? (Isabella’s Villain Song) by Lydia the Bard. I love her Villain rewrites, and my favorite has to be Tale As Old as Time, or We Don’t Talk About Bruno. She’s an amazing singer and vocalist.
Currently Reading
I’m in between books right now (as in, I saw the notification at the exact moment I was about to open a new book). But the book I just finished was Electric Idol by Katee Robert, and the one I’m about to read is Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert.
I’m also reading Keeping Count by @nerevar-quote-and-star on Ao3 and Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe on WEBTOON
Last Film
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 2. I only watched to the halfway point then started doing stuff. I got bored, and Gale pisses me off a lot.
Currently Craving
Tea. Peppermint tea to be specific, with 1/2 cup of sugar and 3 drops of lemon juice. Food wise, a seafood bag boil from this one restaurant in the city, which has crab, shrimp, lobster, potatoes, and corn. And it’s really spicy🤤
