emma messinger fighting for her life in r/relationships after she posts My (22F) boyfriend (23M) keeps coming home in the early hours of the morning bruised and smelling of fag ash saying he works late with his boss (45M) who keeps sending him emails about making him vomit. Do you think there's a chance he could be cheating on me

Beauty & the Bieber (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

Continuing their signature style of combining childhood classics with modern music, the PattyCake guys decided to tackle a tale as old as time for their next project. In addition to Justin Bieber's melodies and the musical motifs from the 1991 animated film, they also included elements from the forthcoming 2017 live action remake.

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 17 March 2017

My favorite bits:

combining the rhythmic strings and the villagers' greetings from "Belle" with the melody for "I'll Show You"

Belle explicitly giving Gaston the brush-off

the tinkling minor motif from the animated movie as Belle enters the castle

Earl's fantastic growl at the end of "Never Say Never"

LaFou's gleeful fawning over Gaston and dancing on the tables

the sneaky ♫ "May-be" ♫ from "Company" overlapping with the tavern scene and leading into the "Be Our Guest" instrumentation

the Beast's lovely vulnerability during the dinner and dancing

using the crunchy horn motif from "Battle on the Tower" to create menace in this version of "Let Me Love You"

Earl's voice being layered over the final lyrics after the transformation

Trivia:

○ The obvious starting point for this project was Jusin Beiber's "Beauty and a Beat", which Tony and Layne had performed as part of VoicePlay's "Wow! Vol. 1" medley during the 2015 Sing-Off tour, but one song does not a full plot make. The guys delved into his extended catalogue to find songs that fit certain story beats and would blend well with the animated movie's score.

○ This was an incredibly ambtious undertaking. According to the PattyCake guys, preparations took five months, and filming spanned "six long days" (and nights, clearly).

○ All that hard work paid off, though, since they were able to time their YouTube release for the same day that the Emma Watson movie hit theaters.

○ VoicePlay recorded a Beauty and the Beast medley for "Once Upon an Ever After" (2012), their first album with Tony as a member of the group. Excerpts from that arrangement later appeared in their music videos "Be Our Guest", "Aca Top 10 – Disney Sidekicks", and "Aca Top 10 – Disney Villains". They also included "Belle" in their "Aca Top 10 – Broadway" countdown.

○ "Love Yourself" was the first song in VoicePlay's PartWork series, which they started as preparation for Tony leaving the group.

○ Layne occasionally used "Baby" as his interruption at the end of VoicePlay's "Road Trip" medley / comedy sketch.

○ On top of their usual studio work, this production required multiple location shoots:

The outdoor village scenes were filmed at the Casa Feliz museum.

Beast's castle interior was the Ballroom at Church Street, which closed in 2019, and was demolished 2023.

The tavern was an actual bar, the Tap Room at Dubsdread.

○ Between the main cast and dozens of background folks, they needed so many costumes that Tony enlisted his sister Anita to help wrangle them all.

○ There are several of Tony's fellow "Beetlejuice Revue" alumni among the main cast:

Michael (Gaston) played Dracula and Frankenstein's monster.

Joey (LaFou) played Wolfman and Dracula.

Brad (Prince Adam) was a dancer in the final "Mashup" iteration of the show.

○ There are also many friends and family among background cast and crew, including several cast members from previous Unexpected Musicals. Olivia Adkins and Leah Lowman are among the village crowd as Snow White and Cinderella. Rachel Copeland and Matthew Buckner are in the tavern crowd, but not as their previous characters. Many of the other villagers were clubgoers in "Hocus Heathens".

○ This video got a nice write-up on Huffington Post.

it's crazy that ollie and emma were together for around four years because malcolm ordered it... and for half of it emma knew ollie was only with her bc he was told to be why did she stay with him. theres no way the sex was that good i know deep in my heart and soul it was terrible. i think its time we acknowledge that emma messinger was the most insane character in the show like why did she do that

#i imagine they broke up and got back together many times #and probably always got back together bc ollie knew malcolm would be mad at him if he properly ended it #the scene at the beginning of rotn where emma tries to kiss ollie and he ignores her.... #he does not want her. his attitude towards sex with her was defo lie back and think of england #except it was lie back and think of malcolm. who said that #micah.txt #ttoiposting

D. C. Messinger Contractor (Photo taken by me March 26, 2023)

There were many listings for Messinger’s work, mostly as a designer but earlier included some contracting. He was the designer and contractor for a residence for an Emma Thompson at 408 E. 66th St. He was a contractor with L. O. Fiscel (?) on a bungalow for Ruth Williams Ingraham in Washington Heights at Reservoir & Gladstone streets. At that time Fiscel & Messinger were located at 315 W. 61st Street. In the same year, he was released from a lien by National Lumber Company. (Southwest Contractor and Manufacturer, Volume 3, Engineers and Architects Association of Southern California, 1909.)

Messinger was located at 216 (and sometimes also 217) Bradbury Bldg in 1919. That year’s notices included designing two bungalows and garages on Hillcrest Terrace for D. H. Harrocks. Messinger “prepared the plans” for G. F. Sloan to build a “2-story 19-room hollow tile residence on Irving Blvd. near Sixth St. for J. E. Adams” and for a double bungalow to be built at “163 East Forth-seventh Place” for Chas. Roth, containing “two flats of four rooms and bath each” with “concrete foundation, redwood siding, shingle roof, pine trim, oak and pine floors, disappearing beds, water heaters, plumbing, wiring.” Messinger was designer and superintendent for the construction of a bungalow and garage (5 rooms) at 1239 Kenmore Ave. for A. M. Shaw (Southwest Builder and Contractor, p. 23, December 19, 1919).

He also “prepared plans for a 2-story frame and plaster flat building to be erected on Gramercy Place between 6th St. and Wilshire Blvd., for Gertrude R. Nash., was the designer for a bungalow and garage at 1839 N Van Ness Ave.,  and was the designer for a 2-story, 10-room resodemce at 857 S Bronson Ave.

This was the best little blurb I found about him:

Most of this information was from Southwest Builder and Contractor, F. W. Dodge Company, 1919.

By 1925, he had moved again to 1210 Taft Bldg. in Hollywood (some say that was the fictional Philip Marlowe’s office) and had “completed plans [to] build two-story, 6-stores, 12 offices at the northeast corner of Porter Ave. and Brand Blvd., San Fernando, for B.A. Munn” (Building and Engineering News, Volume 25, Issue 1, 1925).

Poor Peter is beset by bastards. He just wants to be in control of something, anything. What kind of punishment is it to prevent a man from choosing his own tie?
