🏝𝐹𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒫𝑜𝓈𝓈𝑒 𝒾𝓃 𝒫𝒶𝓇𝒶𝒹𝒾𝓈𝑒🌅
ーIf Fling Posse used all the prize money for an extravagant trip to a deserted island.
They'd brainstorm exciting possibilities with the 100 million yen. Dice rolls his dice, leaving the decision to chance. The adventure begins with a luxurious trip to a deserted island.
Gentaro researches deserted islands worldwide, while Ramada turns it into a dart game to choose their destination.
Living a life of luxury on the island, time would seem to fly by, and they might find themselves losing track of the days. Before they know it, one month could turn into three, or even half a year. Wouldn't it be reminiscent of something out of the movie "The Beach"? 😉
🎵The inspiration comes from Lana Del Rey's 'Video Game.' The lyrics have nothing to do with it, just the vibe. It's a perfect laid-back and alluring song for an afternoon by the pool, so give it a listen" 🌴🌊

Tropicana, the second-oldest resort casino on the Las Vegas Strip, is closing.
On May 9, 2023, it was announced that a 33,000-seat baseball stadium will be built on the Tropicana site. It has to be removed by late 2024 so construction can start.
The Tropicana dates back to 1955, when hotelier Ben Jaffe, part owner of the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, purchased the land. Gone is the original showroom where Les Folies Bergère dancers danced for 50 years, where Siegfried & Roy made their Vegas debut in 1967 and where Muhammad Ali held public training sessions for his fight against Ron Lyle in 1975.
Pictured here in the 1950s, 1990s and 2023. Two of my favorite features are the ornate stained-glass ceiling (built in 1979) above the blackjack tables and the bright orange carpet.

So, I was thinking about the way white people are the face of every aesthetic out there and... the fact that they imposed themselves as the face of an aesthetic called “Tropicana” rubs me the wrong way. Like, how are you and your skin that needs tons of sunscreen the first image that pops on Pinterest and Google for an aesthetic that’s about Summer and the ocean and literal tropical setting? Black and Brown Islanders should be the ones owning it!
so I'm doing this on pinterest and it totally proves your point
see that pic in the middle bottom?
its described "tropicana girls #halloween #halloweencostumeDIY"
So yeah like it doesn't matter that bloggers of color always rb posts about our culture is not a costume this shit still happens!
