Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

I Who Have Never Known Men (Jacqueline Harpman, 1995)

Empress (Shan Sa, 2003)

Junji Ito’s Cat Diary (2009) (a re-read but truly one of the greatest books about cats)

Dark Matter: A Ghost Story (Michelle Paver, 2010)

A Head Full of Ghosts (Paul Tremblay, 2015)

I’ve read 73 books this year. Many many books I did not finish and abandoned (i always get between 50-200 pages in to give it a real chance but I don’t believe in reading things I don’t enjoy), so ive actually consumed quite a bit more than 73 books. I did read a lot of dumb, trashy horror and thriller novels. Sometimes I don’t have the energy to read something intelligent and just need something easy. But that really bumps up my read count.

Favourite Albums:

Every year all I listen to are the same albums on repeat and I have a really hard time getting into new music. But this year I was especially into:

Joanna Newsom - Divers (previously I did not enjoy this album of hers but I have come around to it)

Shirley Collins - Adieu to Old England

Shirley Collins - Sweet England

[sensitive-trait]

On Love Day, Kate woke up before her alarm and snuggled up to her husband. The holiday marked their anniversary, and she was feeling particularly flirty this morning. Things had just started to warm up when their door flung open. Charlotte grumpily marched in, completely oblivious to her parent's actions. 

“Mum! Alice is hogging the bathroom!” She whined. James groaned and rolled over as she planted herself on the edge of the bed.

Defeated, Kate put on her robe and marched down the hall. “Alice! Alice Michelle open the door this minute!” She barked pounding on the door. Charlotte joined in, taunting her sister.

“She’s just putting stuff on her face to impress–” Alice ripped open the door before she could utter the name. Her face was caked in makeup.

“I look terrible,” she pouted, near tears. Kate took a deep breath, trying to remember how she felt at Alice’s age.

She let Charlotte into the bathroom and took Alice to her bedroom to begin removing the makeup. When she was done she applied a much subtler combination of blush and lip gloss. “See, a face this pretty only needs a little,” she said, putting on the final touches. 

With the crisis averted she helped the girls out the door, eager to return to her husband. But just as the door closed and they ran off for the bus, James’ phone went off.

Life has settled into some semblance of normalcy -- well, normalcy to the extent it exists when living side-by-side with demons, werewolves, and supernatural people of other types.

On a shopping trip to PurgMart, Alice spots a display for Santa's Helper dolls, a technology-enhanced holiday doll.

But what if there is more to the doll than meets the eye?

Friday Releases for September 13

Friday is the busiest day of the week for new releases, so we've decided to collect them all in one place. Friday Releases for September 13 include Speak No Evil, The Killer’s Game, The 4:30 Movie, and more.

Speak No Evil

Speak No Evil, the new movie from James Watkins, is out today.

When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare.

The Killer’s Game

The Killer’s Game, the new movie from J.J. Perry, is out today.

In the new action-comedy THE KILLER’S GAME, when top hitman Joe Flood (Dave Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands – by taking a hit out on himself. But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend (Sofia Boutella) , he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life before it’s too late.

The 4:30 Movie

The 4:30 Movie, the new movie from Kevin Smith, is out today.

Writer-director Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story — set in the summer of 1986 — that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex. When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans.

Booger

Booger, the new movie from Mary Dauterman, is out today.

After her best friend unexpectedly dies in a bike accident, and her cat escapes, Anna struggles to put the pieces back together. As she turns her life upside down looking for him, a gnarly cat bite results in terrifying physical changes.

Dead Money

Dead Money, the new movie from Luc Walpoth, is out today.

When a home poker game is robbed by armed men, pro poker player Andy and his girlfriend Chloe get caught in the middle. Now, Andy must play the best poker of his life at the biggest game in town to save his and Chloe’s lives.

My Old Ass

My Old Ass, the new movie from Megan Park, is out today.

In this fresh coming-of-age story, an 18th birthday mushroom trip brings free-spirited Elliott (Maisy Stella) face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza). But when Elliott’s “old ass” starts handing out warnings about what her younger self should and shouldn’t do, Elliott realizes she has to rethink everything about family, love, and what’s becoming a transformative summer.

Subservience

Subservience, the new movie from S.K. Dale, is out today.

Megan Fox stars as Alice, a lifelike artificially intelligent android, who has the ability to take care of any family and home. Looking for help with the housework, a struggling father (Michele Morrone) purchases Alice after his wife becomes sick. Alice suddenly becomes self-aware and wants everything her new family has to offer, starting with the affection of her owner – and she’ll kill to get it.

The Critic

The Critic, the new movie from Anand Tucker, is out today.

When the most feared and vicious theatre critic in town Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), finds himself suddenly in the cross hairs of the Daily Chronicle’s new owner David Brooke (Strong), he strikes a sinister Faustian pact with struggling actress Nina Land (Arterton) who is desperate to win his favour.

Uglies

Uglies, the new movie from McG, is out today.

In a futuristic world that imposes a cosmetic surgery at 16, Tally is eager for her turn to join the rest of society. But when a friend runs away, Tally embarks on a journey to save her that upends everything she thought she wanted.

Winner

Winner, the new movie from Susanna Fogel, is out today.

Reality Winner, a brilliant, sarcastic young misfit from Texas with a relentless need for helping others, finds her morals challenged working as an NSA contractor, ultimately leaking Russia’s hacking campaign of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.

Three Women

Three Women, the new TV series from Lisa Taddeo, is out today.

Based on the New York Times bestseller by Lisa Taddeo and starring Shailene Woodley, Betty Gilpin, DeWanda Wise, and Gabrielle Creevy, Three Women explores the compellingly raw and honest stories of three women who had the audacity to believe that they deserved more in life through a nuanced portrait of female desire.

Russell Boring

Russell Boring, the new album from JOBA, is out today.

Disney Girls Like You (Disney Evolution) — PattyCake Productions music video

Art is often inspired by other art. When the PattyCake guys saw the music video for Maroon 5's "Girls Like You", they got the urge to recreate its visual style with their own established roster of Disney princesses, heroines, and villainesses. Come along for a journey through 80 years of animation brought to life.

Details:

title: Disney Girls Like You – The Evolution of Disney Ladies (feat. Maleficent Mistress of Evil)

performers: Mike Marin (animator), Olivia Adkins (Snow White), Michelle Knight (Evil Queen), Leah Lowman (Cinderella / Elsa), Andrea Stack (Lady Tremaine), Rachel Copeland-Evans (Alice / Vanessa), Jaimz Dillman (Queen of Hearts), Anna Ricks (Aurora), Helaina Wize (Maleficent / Mother Goethel), Tiffany Trilli (Cruella De Vil), Emma Dahlin (Ariel), Emoni Wilkins (Ursula), Tiana Akers (Belle), Briana Fogden (Jasmine / Esmerelda), Ciara de Leon (Pocahontas), Raven Wynn (Mulan), Katie Leatherbury (Giselle), Breauna Horsham-Washington (Tiana), Allee Otwell (Rapunzel), Emily Gorsuch (Merida), McKenzie Helene Callahan (Anna), Darian Taylor Waes (Moana), & Tony Wakim (featured vocals)

original song / performers: "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5, feat. Cardi B

written by: Adam Levine, Henry "Circut" Walter, Brittany "Starrah" Hazzard, Jason Evigan, & Gian Stone

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 15 March 2019

My favorite bits:

swapping out the pop-rock instrumentation for more a Disney-esque orchestral sound

the panning of the echoed lyrics to match the movement of the camera

getting a closer look at so many of the amazing costumes they'd made over the previous few years

the flash from Vanessa to Ursula and back (and Emoni's fantastic villain laugh 😈)

those octaves on ♫ "Maybe I know that I'm done…" ♫

reversing the direction of rotation after the bridge

Trivia:

Most of the actors reprised their roles from PattyCake's "Unexpected Musicals", "Villains Lair", and "Princess Academy" series. Some have doubled up or subbed for someone else due to availability issues.

There are a few new characters, though. Alice, Esmerelda, and Giselle all make their debut here. Giselle returned later in the year for the Princess Academy holiday special, and the following spring for the third episode.

The video title makes special note of Maleficent because the live-action sequel was released later in the year. Ironically, that was one of the roles they recast. Leah, who played the sorceress in their "Unexpected Musicals" series, was already doing double duty as Cinderella and Elsa. Alejandra, who plays her in "The Villains Lair" wasn't available during the filming schedule for this.

In addition to providing the vocals and costumes, Tony also drew the artist's sketches. He'd studied animation at the Rhode Island School of Design with the ambition of working at Disney before the studio shut down its 2D division.

The circling movements were created with help from The Strolling Piano, who Layne knew through his sister-in-law.

Sharp-eyed VoicePlay fans will recognize the studio as Rayne's Room, where the guys have filmed many of their music videos, particularly before PattyCake had a space of its own.

This video reached 200,000 views in less than a week, which the Layne and Tony were pretty excited about.

PattyCake released a nifty making-of video a week after this one.

The first Royal Vanity video that the guys teased was released three weeks later.

Day 4 Off the beaten track and 22,579 steps to language school

After breakfast I headed to the gym to do my own (the exercise physio's) program which went pretty smoothly. It wasn't too crowded and I found what I needed. I still managed to miss a turn getting there!

After much fluffing around on the computer, I finally got out the door and headed to Alvor for lunch and my first Portugese lesson at Golfland (basically a putt putt). I posted a question about a month ago on a Facebook page enquiring about language classes and had one response, they put me in touch with Rebecca Cuddeford.

I thought I might walk based on the advice of the Canadian couple I met yesterday, although they indicated the coastal route was the one they took. Given my tardiness I decided to follow the maps.me instructions inland. I did notice the path seemed to go off road, but I went with it and saw a different side of the Algarve. It was quite warm today, around 20-21°, I felt the heat walking in the middle of the day. I was also feeling a tad adventurous, not knowing what might be around a corner, until I started listening to a podcast on the Women Who Travel, Condé Nast Traveler program. Alice Morrison walked across Morocco with three nomads and six camels over 7 months. I think she said she did 70,000kms!! Now that's adventure.

I booked lunch at Ria de Alvor at Wyndam Residences. I enjoyed my fresh herb crusted cod, sadly without wine. I just could not entertain the idea of a glass of Mateus and there was no other rosé by the glass. Later, one of the participants in the language school told me that she'd never eat there! Despite all my research prior to coming I had of course missed the main attractions in Alvor, the harbour and its restaurants, and some cute shops I saw on the way to the bus. This was also the case with Ferragudo yesterday, me in the industrial area, while apparently a different world awaits (realised after I did a review of my copious notes). Luckily I'm here for a while and can return.

I had thought about walking back along the coastal route into Praia da Rocha for gelato, but the language teacher advised against it on my own. The reason, the path is not always obvious and can crumble away! Falling off cliff tops before I actually retire is not something on my bucket list. I do have some women who responded to other Facebook posts I wrote (I sent messages to them today announcing my arrival) so I'll ask their advice and whether they'd like to join me. Otherwise Gary, who attended the class today, is a member of a walking group/s and knows everybody, according to the teacher! I had a lovely quick informative chat with Michelle and ?? about owning property in Portugal. They are still based in the UK, but holiday regularly in Portugal. They said they do pay tax in both countries, but there's some arrangement between Portugal and the UK.

It was a fast paced lesson. Rebecca moved to Portugal eight years ago and within four years started to teach. For €5 per hour payg there were about 15 of us. I was the only Australian and I think I heard all British and Irish accents, some sounded quite funny speaking Portugese. I think they were mostly retired, there was one guy who is an actor and he was switched on with it and sounded fabulous. It is an interesting language, there seems to be some German, French, Italian and maybe Spanish influences. Ricardo, the trainer at the gym last night, sounded like he was saying German words (maybe he was!). Anyway aside from Olá (Hi), obrigada (thank you), um galão (a frothy milky coffee), pastel de nata (Portugese tart), I can now practice Chamo-me Jody (my name is Jody), como estás (how are you?), muito benn (very good), quero uma cerveja (I'd like a beer!). We did practice what was taught last week and then moved on to months of the year and numbers.

I ended the outing with a triple scoop gelato (ricotta & café, pistacchio italiano and my preference, crosscantino & rum) from Gelateria Sorbetto, in Praia da Rocha, only a 12 minute walk from my apartment. It was excelente!

I'm pleased to announce the €2.99 (discounted from €5) bottle of rosé from Setúbal is drinkable. It went down well with my homemade (em casa) prawn fried rice, which was still edible with the notes of turps syrah splashed in as stock!
