Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
"What's the attraction with the John Hughes thing?"
"It's loads of things. From the aesthetic of that whole time, what is it? The outfits, the influence it had on culture, you know, like, you know everyone grew up loving Back to the Future, and I think that informed my knowledge of wanting to kind of like immerse myself in those films a little bit, because I came from a small town, whether that be in Newcastle in England or in the outskirts of Chicago, and I think all of the narratives in our records are very, very consistent with those ideas in those movies, you know? Longing for something bigger, whether it be a relationship or an environment, erm, and that kind of… yeah, that apocalyptic sense of being a teenager."

Hi Gina! Regarding the “future son in law post” from Jay, does anyone know if the picture was an original photo? I feel like I remember hearing about the post but that they blamed it on hacking at the time — but that wouldn’t make a lot of sense if it was an unseen photo. Just curious!
Hi love. The photo wasn't an unseen. It was from early 2012 IIRC. The post was made in November 2014. The thing is, you have to think about it in context of what was going on at the time.
2014, as a whole, was crazy. This is just what happened in ONE week in August. Harry had been extremely loud that year, and there were a ton of rumors surrounding a possible coming out. I don't know if I can make it clear to someone who wasn't here how very, very real this possibility seemed at the time and how far beyond it was from anything you think you're putting together in 2022.
The month of November was one thing after another, including "not that important" and "don't knock it til you try it". This is a terrific timeline of events of that time including Louis wearing the rainbow apple logo, the Four Hangout (where they seemingly refused to deny Larry), headlines everywhere about H possibly having come out, the horrible homophobic bullshit tweet that was tweeted from Louis' account, and Louis getting the dagger tattoo. It's also important to consider it in context of Harry's IG posts at the time.
As far as the "hack" is concerned, why on earth would a hacker break into her IG and make this single post? And if, like antis like to claim, it was a larrie, why would they stop at that and why would they leave the password the same so Jay could delete the post a few minutes. later? The whole "hack" thing is ridiculous. I have no doubt she posted it.
Marina shared a couple photos of her and her friends' trip to Cambridge on August 6th, 2014 for which she chose a casual look with sporty elements!
