The mental image of an airline pilot "twerking for Megz" will have me laughing for a good long while.

Overkill continues to be her tragic flaw. If she would just STFU at a little lie, she could have kept this con up for at least another five years. She always goes way too far and immediately exposes herself for the washed up, self-absorbed, talentless, and unintelligent twat that she is.

It speaks to Harry's collosal stupidity and frankly gross mismanagement that he was allowed to even cross her path. The more that I learn about how incredibly fucked up --to the point of actual emotional and borderline intellectual disability-- Harry is, I vacillate between awe that the Hero Harry narrative could even exist and bewilderment at the abject stupidity it took to let this reptile slither even close to Royal social circles, and it's down to two factors, I think.

Princess Eugenie was not properly managed. She and Harry were always very close and I think since, by comparison, Eugenie is a Rhodes Scholar next to Harry, the Palace failed to see that Eugenie was a weak link in a chain around Harry. She has her father's butthurt entitlement and her mother's tackiness and she should never have been near a SoHo house as even my white trash ass can see that the entire chain is gauche and noveau riche, and other french words that mean tacky and not befitting someone of Eugenie's station. I mean having a Princess of the Realm lounging around a SoHo house is pretty much like Her Late Majesty spending the night at a Best Western. I mean imagine spotting Queen Elizabeth II wearing flip flops and the Crown of Saint Edward standing in a vending machine line at the NoTell Motel at 2am. That is the level of shock that one should feel at Princess Eugenie being at a SoHo House and SoHo house is how this hoe got to Harry.

Sorry, Canada, but you also were not well-managed. And your first and second families also got quite tacky there for a while, which my homeland elected Donald Trump by somehow marrying the interests of evangelicals and people who wear American flag bikinis, so I get it, but even Donald J. Trump knew Meghan Markle was trouble. Jessica "Jess" Mulroney? Notsomuch. Can you imagine whatever Mike Pence's wife's name is making fishlips with MM on Insta? No? Well that's a problem. Sometimes you can be too chill, you know. Or maybe this has been your stategy for world domination all along, Canada, in which case my hat's off to you because I never expected a trifling two-bit nobody on a show I quite frankly was not aware even existed to get this far. Who even knew the USA Network even still existed? Like this has all happed way too fast. Five years ago I was like what is a Meghan Markle, and now here I am. It's probably my fault.

So yeah. Princess Eugenie and Canada. And me.

ART TIP #5: THE ART OF BEING A SOCIAL CLIMBER, 3 EASY-STEPS YOU CAN TRY!

In todays day and age, the glitter and glamour of a social media post can take you to places, literally. With the worlds most followed people on Instagram being either an international Popstar or a Kardashian, a fight between talent and plastic surgeons.

It may be a Eureka moment to ask, how can you portray your alter ego in a world dominated by likes and comments feeding peoples kinks and fetishes, if in reality, your lifestyle may not even be as glamorous as Paris Hilton’s dog, don’t cry. To say the least, it must be really difficult to social climb, right? Or isn’t it?

This blog post will walk you through to a 3-step tutorial on how to achieve everything without basically having nothing. And to put a massive disclaimer, this is not basing upon on any personal experience, God forbid.

STEP 1: UKAY-UKAY IS LIFE

It is not a question about who has the privilege to afford brand-new clothing, but rather a question of who can slay-the-runway the hardest. In todays time, in this type of economy, clothing shifted from just a mere need to encapsulate your naked body to a want that unleashes confidence and poise. But that mere need requires an extra glitter of cash, and when in a tight budget, who are you going to call? This time its not the ghost busters, but a magical fairyland of pure fashion style that doesn't break the bank, the Ukay-Ukay.

STEP 2: BE LIKE DORA THE EXPLORER

Good fashionable outfit is useless if the background of your Facebook profile picture is a stacked domino house, don’t cry. With our childhood hero, Dora The Explorer is here to save the day. The ability to know the right place and in this case it should be for free, since we are on a tight budget, will make any picture worthy of recognition that you, the one reading this is thirsty for, but of course we will not judge, swear. Iconic structure and crowd-favorite spot that everyone whose part of our little cult surely already knows.

STEP 3: THE ART OF MULTIMEDIA ARTS

Lastly, and the most important recipe to achieve a not-so-fake online world lifestyle is the talent to create world-competent content. Photography, to have the ability to capture real-life moments and no it wasn’t sarcasm when we say real-life. Videography, if you have the ability to make dancing videos and tick with the rhythm of the tock. Editing, to enhance the facial features of your vogue-ready face minus the red spots. Copywriting, since a good content requires an opposite utterly not connected caption. Social media management, to check the statistics if the likes made any difference. Digital marketing, to sell off your fantasy of a perfect Kardashian-like lifestyle.

All of these at the end of the very day are mere creation of pure imagination and to repeat, this does not base to any personal experience. Take note, Fashion whether brand-new or second-hand is not worn by people to social climb or to impress other, it is to express their self-being through woven fabric and be the most comfortable in their skin. Landmark places where normal working people visit is not for them to be up-to-trend but for them to unwind and relax and enjoy the beauty of our nature and infrastructure. And lastly, the talent of multimedia artists is not for people to use to portray an alter ego but rather to unleash talent that may benefit corporate and business sectors or even single clients that allows the industry to creatively grow with the help of the art. This blog may took a U-turn but its a good opportunity to say, theres no such thing as social climbing. Break the Stigma. Support the Art.

Balance: Academics vs. Social Game Plan

My academic advisor let me know that it would behoove me to graduate as soon as possible (given my unique academic history). His recommendation was crystal clear which effectively means that I will have to complete double the course load for the foreseeable future. It would even be manageable if it wasn't for my social commitments, namely:

The women's club which has so far embraced me but also gently let me know that now is the time to prove myself (with implied medium term advancement options)? My position as student union president managing the different projects? My burgeoning commitments to climbing and ballet including the attached social groups? My course friends and widening social circle? Family? Nevermind the time I need to invest in my appearance.

The fear of opportunity cost has got the best of me. My perfectionist, all-or-nothing brain is broken. I am working my way back fully aware that time waits for no one. This is just hard in a way that I haven't experienced before (as a former loner with no hobbies). I'm out here googling "having a social life in college" and "being a socialite" and trying to min-max relationships while also giving the best of me because I would hate to become an inauthentic taker, lol.

Giving up or compromising preemptively is not an option. I'll get there, I just hope it doesn't take too long. Leveling up is a process. I'm like a pokemon trying hard to reach the next evolution. It's going to happen. >:)

#update #shimmer #is this a studyblr now?#i am lucky to have friends who will listen to my despair over my self-inflicted struggles #and accept that is actually hard and feels like rejecting future opportunity #social skills #social climbing

Hmm, you don’t sound like you’re from Philadelphia.

Two years practicing with a tape recorder to lose that white trash accent. Or, Philadelphia accent? Whatever do you mean?

Coupled with my previous Dallon edit is a more aesthetic edit featuring Ryan. I’m still trying to find better Ryan pictures because I wanna make one with just him too. Anyway, I love that wide shot from Social Climb and the green screen pic of Dallon is so aesthetically pleasing. Oh, and the bubble thing. Oh, and just everything about these pictures. Anyway, laters

' . . . I fear that I have done much to injure you. From the first day that I knew you . . . I wished that you should come among us and be one of us.' 'I have been with you, to my infinite satisfaction,—while it lasted.' 'But it has not lasted, and now I fear that it has done you harm.' 'Who can say whether it has been for good or evil? But of this I am sure you will be certain,—that I am very grateful to you for all the goodness you have shown me.'

Anthony Trollope, from Phineas Finn

CANNIBALISTIC PARANOID NARCISSISM

This film is probably a masterpiece, but it has all the defects of a provocation. It will have to teach its audience how to step back from their erotic voyeurism in order to see the deep perverse psychological logic in the three main male characters.

They may desire one another two by two or all three at once. They may desire only themselves as males, but also with one or two female disruptions, female entertainments, and female discardable toys. Women are only distractions, as Blaise Pascal would say, from the main divine target of men perverted into enjoying a limitless life in excessive wealth that destroys all possible human and humane perspectives, hence any moral or ethical hesitation before doing anything pleasurable for the man in bliss, even if and maybe especially because it is hurtful to the targets and the suffering beneficiaries of the bullying since it is bullying in the end.

If you are not from that top social class, but from a slightly lower class, and hence only have limited means you have to take care of and economize, then your only hope in this society is to cannibalize one family of the top aristocracy. That’s nothing but a narcissistic project because you are going to do it for the sole love and sake of yourself, and only yourself, not even your soul. At the end of it, you will be the king of the estate, but the king will be naked and the emperor will be standing and strutting in his new clothes. The main character will love it because these new clothes are light and they hide nothing, but only to his own eyes in the mirror in the bathroom he will break with his own fists after enjoying his fluid liberation in the washstand.

This film deserves a serious PG classification, not because of the nudity, not because of the sex scenes, not because of the gross language, but for only one reason. The psychology of the three main male characters is autistic along the savant line of Asperger’s patients, but autistic all the same in the absolute bellybutton windows of their narcissism à la Jimi Hendrix. But then two of them do not seem to know the third one is going to win, blowing up their bellybuttons into total fetal regression… and death if possible.
