Forward Momentum

Spotify seems to be picking up some steam.  Isn't that interesting.

What might we read into this?

Her voice.  Sounds serious so what audience is it being pitched to?

Where is H (as she calls him)?  Will he be brought in to show how men can be supportive at some point?  maybe?

Could this be the real start for a political career or, could it just give more ammo to her critics?


According to the promo, the talks will get into the history and talk with assorted people how "labels" or "stereotypes" continue to exist and how that intertwines with how women are not making breakthroughs (if I am reading it right). Unite for Female Empowerment might be a banner then.  But will it really change how most everyday first worlders (not working in, say Hollywood sort of job) view the topic as applicable to their life or is it more like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?


Are there other topics to follow ... eventually?  With the current topic, a little bit can go a long way.  Heavy handed, anger or sounding like preaching at not to and it can easily come off as a single note played in different keys set on repeat.

What, how and who will she bring to the table to educate? Mostly, just how will this actually bring about change because it takes more than just listening to a podcast once in a while to change the world?  And (maybe I'm playing the stupid card here) how will all the people of the world who are the real problem (road blocks) to this change she wants to investigate going to be able to begin to think of changing if they don't have a Spotify contract for starters?  


Oscars - anyone watching or are you waiting for the photos of how people are dressed first?


As a side note: I just wonder sometimes about the concept of female empowerment through time.  When I look at the past, for all practical purposes it got the most recent big push in the late 60's.  So 50+, almost 60 years.  And how far have we really travelled if this is still being talked about so much as if all gains before yesterday have been erased? Who does and how do they measure that progress?   What was the end goal?  and how close are we when we think about where we started? or why does it feel like the goal posts keep shifting?

Although I appreciate the link to the article and looked at it, I honestly can't stand to see photos of the grifter. Such an ugly, hateful personality and behaviors color my view of them.

Friday Singalong 🎤
Apologies: Roberta Flack
Killing Me Softly With His Song

Martyr Harry-The Quislings

Strumming his groin with her fingers
Ruining his life with her words
Killing him slowly with her tongue
Killing him slowly with her dung
Turning his whole life to absurd
Killing him slowly with his bong

She’d heard he’d bang a bad one
She used her fakest smile
And when she’d captured him
She filled him with her bile
And there he was this young dolt
A prisoner to her lies

Dumbing his name as a whinger
Stinging his life with her turds
Killing him slowly with her prong
Killing him slowly is so wrong
Killing him slowly
Her swan song…

@Hikari & Nutties
Thank you all 😘
High praise indeed, made me feel good,
much needed!
I do have most of my ‘bits’ archived
from October 2020.
Will start with the first one for the #70

Cheers, your support and encouragement

Apologies to Victoria Wood
“Let’s do it”

Botswana Blues

Mush n Tush were up all night
His eyes were crossed
and so off sight
The stars were in hiding
the moon half cock
Tush decided to grab Mush’s stock
She flicked her hair
and pursed her lips
And gyrated her non hip hips
Harry cringed in fear and fright
He meant to sh*g but once that night

Let’s screw it
I only meant to sh*g her once
blew it…

Apologies:Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey Diddle Diddler #69

Hey, it’s no riddle
They’re both on the fiddle
Mad cow made her megxit too soon
How hard we all laughed
Quite loud, unabashed
As the b.tch ran away with her goon

Megs Multiple Organisms #68

Megs and her multiple ‘isms’
Is now spouting about algorithms
Just so you know
It’s all part of the show
And par for the course re-
her schisms…

Regina v. Vagina

I’d hate to be hated
as much as she is
To think this all started
with an outdoor pi.s
If those in the know
Had booted the ho
The Queen could’ve enjoyed
the rest of her show

@Snarkyatherbest and @RaspberryRuffle

Thanks for welcoming me back! I am quite happy to see everyone again, though I'm afraid that the Dollars are the pinnacle of boredom for me now. (If there's a toxic couple I want to watch these days, it's the Smiths. Jada is a monster.)

I did watch Trevor Coult's commentary on the excerpt we got from Harry's upcoming memoirs. Good grief, what a complainer Prince William has for a younger brother!

magatha thanks for the friday funnies!

Enbre. yep they are getting down right boring. a regurgitated rumor about moving to new york again and everyone posting about it on twitter seemed bored too. i think invictus will be a bore. and weren’t we suppose to hear the podcast by now? maybe there is a bit of PR money left to counter something when Prince Louis bday pick gets released in a few weeks or if there is a cambridge easter sighting.
The Cat's Meow said…
New DM article about how the Dollars are supposedly apartment-hunting in NY in the location of the UN. Sigh.

Perhaps they are thinking that if they live right by there...nobody can stop them from filming outside of their "home"...and they might just happen to catch diplomats in the area?!?

Oh well. Who cares LOL

Thanks Magatha! A wonderful laugh.

Should we call them Barrie and Freda? I certainly can't imagine him beating her `on the bottom with the Woman's Weekly' ( `...famed for it's knitting/ fiction...')

I know that we're all supposed to be nonjudgmental, but those kids of theirs are some effed up kids. All of the children of a local narc or either dead (suicide), one is in hiding from her mother, one is incapable of independent living, and one is in the process of killing himself via drugs.

Just imagine what the Dollars kids, if they are real, will be like. Their home life would be a real horror show.

Oh, Magatha! "As the b*tch ran away with her goon" is hilarious! (I would have never thought of that!)

I had a quick look at the first few lines (why do I bother??) and they're actually'considering renting a second home'. So nothing definite, as usual and they can afford the mortgage on a house in Montecito and the rent in a NYC apartment near the UN headquarters? No doubt for when she has to address governments on world peace or a vaccination programme😉. More desperate PR.
Sandie said…
The latest news is that she will be at the Invictus Games with him, Netflix crew in tow, and they have a spectacular surprise for the opening ceremony.

The only gig she can get - a platform where people will be forced to listen to her and let her be the centre of attention!

Are they so tone deaf that they think the Invictus Games and the Netherlands want her there?

Watch for PR overdrive!

sandie. oh oh who has this in Trotter bingo. actually prob skipping town because April 18th federal income taxes due. what will she wear. will she wear orange (because as we know it’s the new black 😉). will she speak and push him off the dias. this is gonna be fun. she had nothing else going and unable to get kids to pap walk. needs some exposure. will probably curse as they fly over england

I'm sure they want us to find it spectacular. The Emperor's New Clothes and all that.

Veterans as a group seem to be very disgusted with Harry these days. (Throw in his latest "revelation" that he was yelled at in training, poor little ginger baby, and I just can't see how he still expects respect.) I actually think they will be booed at Invictus.

And if I were a Dutch citizen, I'd be worried that her secret plan is to create a narrative of going to the Netherlands full of goodwill and innocence . . . only for the Dutch to turn out to be as evilly racist as the British.

Even The Body Language Guy is doing more Will and Jada content these days!

@SwampWoman
those kids of theirs are some effed up kids.

There have been signs for over a decade that the Smiths' marriage was a shyteshow. Someone remarked to me that it was the public that has been in denial about them, because all this stuff has been so out in the open! Jaden and Willow have crossed out of red flag territory into air raid siren land.

On a general note, isn't it interesting how many abusive women narcissists are being exposed and studied lately? Apart from *, there are Amber Heard, Kim Kardashian, and now Jada Pinkett-Smith. This is the golden age of decoding the narcissists' playbook.

I think they're trying to mimic the spectacular Earth Shot program. But it won't work.
They have no imagination.

Why, why , why does everything associated with them have to be a 'surprise'?
Always with the drama.
CatEyes said…
@Sandie
Regarding the surprise that * will have for the opening ceremonies of Invictus...I hope it's not their alleged 'kids' or dragging some disabled Ukrainians as props and sympathy!

They are so insufferable and plain awful I almost can't stand even seeing their name in print anymore much less bothering to read or comment about them. I just wish they will get their just deserts for the pain and embarrassment they have brought to the BRF.

@Mel

That's a good question! I think this is part of the general narcissist playbook rather than something particular to this couple or just to *.

Apart from the built-in drama that you've noticed, I'd say that it allows them to exercise as much control as they can. It forces people to do things on the narcissist's terms.

Another possibility (one that is particular to them) is that they're really bad planners. They know that they'll be at Invictus, at so-and-so dates, but they aren't really sure what they want to do yet. While they're scrambling around for good ideas, they put up a smokescreen to say that the big reveal will be SO AMAZING. And they're either betting that they will find a great idea in time or hoping that their PR will have a hypnotic effect on everyone, so that no matter how bad the idea is, everyone will be wowed anyway.

I'll bet everyone working on her PR team has developed ulcers by now.

Oh, good grief! * has taken advantage of people's pain in the past . . . Who can forget the "secret" tribute to Uyinene Mrwetyana, which * made sure a photographer was present for? . . . But using Ukrainians for sympathy at this time would be scraping the bottom of the barrel of bad taste and callousness!

I'm actually torn between hoping she will do exactly that, which would expose her narcissism to an even wider audience, and wishing that she would leave innocent people alone.
Martha said…
@snarky...loved your comments, and would love to see her push him off the podium. A fitting scenario for them both.

Well at least they weren’t invited to the Brooklyn Beckham/Nicola Peltz wedding. That had to hurt (you’d think).
SwampWoman said…
I don't care for "secrets" and "surprises". It's simultaneously cute yet horrifying when a five-year-old child announces "Surprise! I made you pancakes for breakfast!" Call me crazy, but I don't really want to spend hours in cleaning up surprises. At least small children sincerely want to bring you joy. My tiny cherubs decided long ago, when I was ill with the flu, that they would make cookies to make me all better when I fell asleep. An entire canister of flour and all the food coloring were used. There is nothing like being on the verge of death and having small happy children covered in flour and dyed with food coloring saying "Mama, we made you cookies so you'll be better!"

Yeah, I know, comparing the adult children to 5-year-old children is wrong. While small children have the same fixation on secrets and surprises, the level of malevolence is not there.

For all we know, the secret surprise the dastardly duo are promising could be competitive jello wrestling followed by jello shots. Everybody KNOWS the jello shots should come first.

The DM is now saying Meghan will be joining Harry at the Invictus Games, so this event for wounded and disabled veterans has now officially become part of their budding financial empire as we all know a camera team shooting for Netflix will be there to record every moment. This is so low, but exactly what I expect from this twosome.

As DM comments point out, she and Harry couldn’t possibly mKe the trip for Philip’s memorial service because they wouldn’t be able to have a Netflix crew following them around. The security concerns are just a paper-thin excuse.

Another comment pointed out that now they will monetize Harry’s affiliation with the Invictus games to use veterans wounded in war for their personal financial gain, they must be salivating at the thought of eventually showing up in the rubble of Ukraine to make money off the people there who are currently experiencing the horrors of war.

Knowing how they jump on any bandwagon for a buck, inserting themselves into the aftermath of the suffering in Ukraine would not surprise me one bit.

Sunshine Sachs and the Archewell team are probably already working on a Ukraine strategy for future Netflix and Spotify content.
Fifi LaRue said…
@Rebecca: Trotter DID put out PR that she was invited to the Beckham/Peltz wedding. It was publicized somewhere in the press. More "Positive Thinking" that didn't come true.

As for Invictus, watch for Trotter to take over their speech, and elbow/push Haznoballs out of the way.
Mel said…
It can't be all about her if it's not a surprise. Other people will want credit for their part in it, and she can't have that.

Just like she can't let H have all the attention about Invictus. She has to horn in on it.

Any ideas on what their surprise might be?

I'm sure all of the disabled vets are just waiting with bated breath to see the invisible Harkle children.
Hikari said…
@Happy Days

Regardless of how it’s spun, I actually think that H was not welcome at Philip’s memorial and was told in no uncertain terms to stay away. I think the same is probably true about upcoming Jubilee events and The sad day in which London Bridge’s falling will be observed. Ditto for Charles coronation. The royal family knows he is not trustworthy and would attempt to film or record events and he’s very presence would turn up drama and speculation in the media. The queen may have been told that H declined to come And that Charles along with the rest of the queens children and William and the senior courtiers are working in her best interest. They don’t want any more upset for TQ from the odious grifters. If that’s how it went down, down the RF is allowing H to take the heat for his non-attendance. Turnabout is fair play. They can always take refuge in the official explanation that owing to the unresolved conflict over security, that is the reason he stayed home in Montesh*tshow.

It would surprise me a great deal if MeMe shows up in The Hague. Let’s wait and see. It strikes me that turning out this PR about her impending visit to high profile international event it’s a great way of postponing doing her homework for Spotify and getting her podcast out. She can’t submit anything she’s preparing to travel to another country to support her husband in his philanthropic endeavors toward wounded military veterans!

Since it hasn’t happened yet, we can’t assume the DM has a crystal ball and can see into the future to say definitively that she will actually attend. Perhaps there are some difficulties with her passport which make it impossible for her to leave the country. She is no longer entitled to special privileges on diplomatic grounds since she no longer represents the RF. Nor does she have any official role with Invictus…So I can’t believe that organization would welcome her participation as anything other than a spectator. It’s long past time for Invictus to cut ties with H as their patron. Regardless of whether he brings the ball and chain or not, I think it’s high time they tell him that these will be his last Games. He has become toxic for the brand since the great majority of veterans hate him now.

I had given up most of my celeb-watching in the past month, so I didn't notice. But I had been keeping track, it would have been a juicy moment! Almost as fun as the "Christmas soiree" for David Foster, Katharine McPhee, and the Beckhams, that was supposedly a sure thing for the last month of 2020.

The only thing more impressive than the noise * makes leading up to parties and life events featuring her alleged celebrity friends is her total silence when those events take place and she is nowhere among the guests.

What's the next one she's bleating on about? I need to mark my calendar. Or is Invictus and the big "surprise" the only live thing she's got going these days?

I'm not up on current travel requirements....would she need proof of vaccination either to enter the UK or return to the US?

Maybe she's not vaccinated yet?

A Quiet Interlude

 Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event?   Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th?  Oscar's - March 10th?   In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US.  The IRS just never goes away.  Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on).  There's always another one.  Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California.   That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales.   Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere.  But.  The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.  

As Time Passes and We Get Older

 I started thinking about how time passes when reading some of the articles about the birthday.  It was interesting to think about it from the different points of view.  Besides, it kind of fits as a follow up the last post (the whole saga of can the two brothers reunite). So there is the requisite article about how he will be getting all kinds of money willed to him from his great-grandmother.  There were stories about Princess Anne as trustee (and not allowing earliest access to it all).  Whether or not any or all of this is true (there was money for him and/or other kids) has been debated with claims she actually died owing money with the Queen paying the debts to avoid scandal.  Don't know but I seem to remember that royal estates are shrouded from the public so we may not (ever) know. However, strange things like assisting in a book after repeated denials have popped up in legal papers so nothing is ever really predicable.   We are also seeing more articles which not only talk

The Opening Act of New Adventures in Retail

 I keep thinking things will settle down to the lazy days of spring where the weather is gorgeous and there is a certain sense of peacefulness.  New flowers are coming out. increasing daylight so people can be outside/play and thinking gardening thoughts.  And life is quiet.  Calm. And then something happens like a comet shooting across the sky.  (Out of nowhere it arrives and then leaves almost as quickly.)   An update to a law suit.  Video of the website is released (but doesn't actually promote any specific product which can be purchased from the website).  A delay and then jam is given out (but to whom and possible more importantly - who did not make the list?).  Trophies almost fall (oops).  Information slips out like when the official date of beginning USA residency.  (now, isn't that interesting?) With them, it's always something in play or simmering just below the surface.  The diversity of the endeavors is really quite impressive.  This award, polo, speech, speech,
