“Everything aside from my bag was purchased secondhand at Buffalo Exchange. The shirt was unbranded but gave me JPG vibes, the pants are vintage, the boots are Sam Edelman, and the bag is from Susan Alexandra. I’m mostly inspired by alt scenes of the 70s-80s. Color is a huge part of my style and once I narrowed down a palette I felt most confident in, it was really easy to be able to thrift for myself and put together something that felt distinctly me. I call it ketchup & mustard.”

In honor of Barricade Day, here’s a very rare Les Mis treasure. A highlights reel of a production from the musical’s early glory days: the 1991 Toronto production at the Royal Alexandra Theatre.
The cast features Michael Burgess as Jean Valjean, Gordon McLaren as Javert, Susan Gilmour as Fantine, Graeme Campbell as Thénardier, Janelle Hutchinson as Mme. Thénardier, Vance Avery as Marius, Ian Simpson as Enjolras, Cara Hunter as Éponine, Cara Chisholm as Cosette, and an unknown Young Cosette and Gavroche.
The snippets of each musical number are too short for me to write a detailed review, but this cast definitely seems to have been an outstanding one!
This video is a very lucky find.

“I am wearing a skirt I made, a corset made by Eve Corsets, a vintage t-shirt, a vintage Jean-Paul Gaultier jacket, Moldy Smith earrings, thrifted gloves, Susan Alexandra bag, John Fluevog shoes and a bunch of thrifted necklaces and rings. I am inspired by the idea of only wearing what makes me happy. I don’t feel like myself until I have a bunch of layers and lots of accessories. Some people would say I always look like a kid styled me and I like that. I am a sustainable maximalist that enjoys not following any rules.”

ANDREW GARFIELD 's kisses...
The way he holds the face of the contemplated, sorry I mean, actresses... is too surreal for me. And this sequence of "Boy A" makes me have several types of thoughts that... 🥵 Better not to confess here. Anyway, actresses doing some of things i'd like to do with him. 🔥🔥🔥

The official first game Women's World Chess Championship begins in approximately 2 hours! Very exciting for me as a new player who thoroughly enjoyed Nepo-Ding and all the emotion and fanfare and drama that came with it. But I couldn't help but notice: there is a distinct lack of promotion for the women's chess championship on FIDE's part. In some form this could be blamed on general inadequacy; FIDE struggled to even bill a location for the 2023 men's championship until the 11th hour and the event itself was. Not the most glorious, to put it lightly. It was to the point that they were being questioned by members of the chess media about if the event was even going to happen until the announcements were made. So it could be as simple as a bumbling organization doing their inevitable dropping of the ball on a prestigious event that will go on to be great for chess in spite of them. But do you want to know what the CEO of FIDE thought was smart to post this morning?
Encouraging people to shit on the women's world championship HOURS after the opening ceremony (which they did NOT make available to stream online either btw) is on its own, clear misogyny on the part of FIDE's highest ranking official, but it actually gets worse.
The WWCC does not yet have an official website. We are HOURS away from the first move.
There are two players billed to commentate the games: GM Alik Gershon (1994 under 14 world champion) and GM Xu Yi (world #716 of all players). No offense to these accomplished players, but neither of them are recognizable chess players to even dedicated viewers and neither are competitive globally. By contrast: the official FIDE stream for the men's championship featured GM Irina Krush (former US women's chess champion) and GM Daniil Dubov (2018 world rapid chess champion, currently ranked 28th of all players). As pointed out by twitter user @ChessProblem, the chess dot com commentary team is comparatively stacked: GM Judit Polgar (former world chess championship candidate, former world 8th ranked player, former women's 1st ranked player for 25 years consecutively, considered the GOAT of women's chess), GM Alexandra Kosteniuk (former women's world chess champion, women's world rapid chess champion, swiss national champion, both open and women's, Russian women's national champion), IM Jovanka Houska (9 time British women's chess champion)
I'm not (yet) a competitive women's player, and I am probably never going to reach the level of any of the players I've mentioned here, but if I was a younger women's player earning my norms and excited about this championship match, I think I would be equally if not more frustrated than I am right now. This is embarrassing, but women in chess unfortunately know all too well how FIDE rolls.
In fact, Susan Polgar, Judit's older sister called out FIDE for refusing to give her her final norm for years because of the misogyny of FIDE as she was on pace to break the record set by Bobby Fischer for youngest person to reach the status of grandmaster (GM), a record eventually broken by Judit. Unfortunately this year, there's a continuation of a long and awful trend in FIDE of treating women in chess as inherently weaker and less interesting players and it frustrates me as a woman player, especially as a trans player.
However, if like me you want to watch the match you can watch it here:
enjoy chess!
