Gleberman's podcast, take 2: the video edition

I volunteered to take one for the team, again, this time watching (or trying to, at least) the video version of Gleberman's infamous podcast on Youtube (if you are a masochist, like me, feel free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_md73Ws2O4&t=303s). You see, I was so intrigued by the OTT praise that I wanted to see the live reactions. To do so, I even watched it at a 0,25 reduced speed ratio, just to catch up those pesky, spontaneous facial expressions he couldn't possibly hide.

Let's start with what we all know: in 10 years, S is much, much better at hiding his game and almost proficient at mastering the poker face. But if you really pay attention (and I did), you might still notice some interesting things: after all, we aren't robots and we can't calibrate or control everything. So, here's my take on what I saw, with screencaps, and covering only the bits I quoted in my first post (https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/733285180488450048/and-kia-ora-to-new-zealand-like-youve )- the rest was really beyond my patience and goodwill abilities, to be honest.

A word and a question on the staging of this podcast, before anything else. I am always paying great attention to the outfits of the people who participate, because I believe they are an integral part of the show itself. While Gleberman's was, to be honest, unacceptably sloppy, S was right on point the message he wanted to convey, with the short-sleeved (?) khaki shirt that spelled three things: Bachelor. Traveler/Explorer. Tropical Chic. As a side note, I wish he'd been dressed like that in the Nevis resort suite snippet: not the usual Peter Panesque/Marty McFly/boyz in da hood outfit. But hey, that's just me, what do I know, after all, maybe the boy really feels more relaxed in those. Brand-wise, however, I will never cease to drum up the urgent need to step up the outfit game and start aligning it with the real age.

The other thing that intrigued me is common to S and C: their love of cupboards and hallways when it comes to playing the show/not show game on podcasts 'from home'. Because they know we watch and because they know, by now, we are probably worse than the MI-6, we're left with... eh... nothing. He apparently found the perfect solution with that sort of a connecting space he is always showing us, lately. Seriously, though, who the hell places himself in front of an opening (sliding door?) to a bigger room, except when wanting to block both the view and any other interpretation? Heh. Things that make one go 🤔.

Anyways. Let's have a look at some reactions I have screencapped:

Gleberman: 'same sweetest person and like an amazing human being'.

Translation: I am pursing my lips and bracing myself for the rest of the #silly compliment. I can't possibly express how much this annoys and embarrasses the bejesus out of me. But hey, Monica, have at it and let's be done already with this circus.

Gleberman: '...and friend to talk to and I just love you.'

Translation: I close my eyes because I don't want to hear the OTT crap this woman is shamelessly peddling around. I cross my arms defensively, because this is the best I can do. I really pray internally she'd immediately stop it, somehow (though I am fully aware she won't and this is just the beginning). She definitely overstepped a red line and I don't want to be a part of it.

S: '.I think there's...there's a lot of smoke and mirrors, this is ALL fake.'

Translation: I am talking with my hands to make a point (and also to show off the damn rings - oh, Lord, let them talk about these to oblivion, on socials). I am also covering my face with a gesture evocative of a smoke curtain, because ultimately I feel the need to protect myself from the smiling entity on the other side of my screen and because, at the same time, I know exactly what I did here. Oops, I just unleashed another half-in-jest zeppelin, that people could pretzel exactly how they see fit. However, it's true: my public persona is a carefully curated lie. Peekaboo, underneath I know very well what my committed truth is.

S: ' I am the double'.

Translation: I am opening my arms and I am puffing out my chest. There, I've said it. Ha! I am in full defiant mode, now. I meant every single word I just said and damn the consequences.

I wish I'd had the patience to watch it all. But I think I've managed to analyze the most interesting part of it. Overall, there was quite a bit of stress involved on S's side (lots of chin grabbing, etc), the only one I was interested in. She was simply not worth my attention and I doubt she, unlike many other people in the media, 'knows stuff'. If anything, that only served to validate my first impressions.

And yes, always look for the presence of the teeny-tiny abnormal detail. Sometimes (not always) it can prove rewarding.

I will complete my trilogy of Hansel and Gretel stage adaptations of fascinating visuals with this piece. I made several posts about the Royal New Zealand Ballet's adaptation and its homages to Germanic cinema (and obscure carnival traditions). I reblogged something about the Hänsel and Gretel concert of Lindemann-Tägtren and its disturbing, horrifying but also darkly clownesque visuals... And now I bring you the San Diego Opera adaptation of the famed Hansel and Gretel opera, with quite impressive puppetry!

I will copy-paste here the content of an article by Beth Accomando, which can be read in its original form here.

It’s not every day that an opera singer gets to bring a cannibalistic witch to life.

"I lure children into the forest and I cook them into gingerbread cakes and then I eat them. It's delightful," said tenor Joel Sorensen.

But what’s not so delightful is having to wear a big puppetry rig to create a larger-than-life witch onstage.

"I am a puppet," Sorensen explained. "The witch is a puppet, a very large puppet. And I have a colleague, Iain [Gunn], behind me. He bears the bulk of the weight on his back. So I'm basically working with a puppet while trying to sing and convey a character. It's a real challenge."

The challenge for director Brenna Corner in bringing Engelbert Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" to the San Diego Opera stage was how do you bring a fairy tale to life?

"One of the things that I think is really tricky about 'Hansel and Gretel' is size. How do you make two grown-ups look like they're kids and two other grown-ups look like they're adults? And then someone else looks sort of even bigger and more powerful. And quite frankly, the best way I could figure out how to do that was puppets," Corner said.

So anything that was not human became a puppet. Like the witch.

"It's different in that it's not my physicality. So, because I'm manipulating her hands, her arms, and I'm working in tandem with [Gunn] so I can't move as quickly as I might normally or as sharply but facially and vocally, I'm trying to do the same things that I would do if I were performing it without a puppet," Sorensen said.

Now if you are thinking of puppets as something you put on your hand, think again. Imagine actors completely enveloped in layers of fabric with a large sculpted head or face high above their shoulders and an arm span that exceeds 10 feet.

"We had to really kind of blow up the notion of what a puppet is in order to successfully encompass the fusion of opera and puppetry," said Judd Palmer of Old Trout Puppet Workshop in Calgary. "Our inspiration was classic 19th century children's book illustrators like Arthur Rackham or N.C. Wyeth. We wanted the whole thing to feel like it comes out of a book and it becomes the illustrations coming to life like a pop up book."

Palmer designed the puppets for a production in Canada and Iain Gunn of Animal Cracker Conspiracy here in San Diego is now the puppeteer working with Sorensen to play the Witch onstage.

"I get to live inside this character that I'm helping to bring alive," Gunn said. "But she has her own voice standing right in front of me. I don't know how to describe it, but I feel like I am transported inside this imagination. It's like I'm in the 'Time Bandits' or something like that where … we're doing something magical and it's a magical character and the only reason it's alive is because we're in there giving it our all. So it's pretty cool."

The puppets engage the audience in a unique way.

"It's this agreement that the audience makes with the performers," Corner explains. "That we agree not to see the person who's obviously a person and instead we agree to look at what is fabric and some PVC pipe and a plaster-like face, right? But we agree to do that. So what's extraordinary to me about puppetry is that as an audience, we're continually investing our imagination in seeing the thing that the performers want us to see and then as the performers keep investing in that then all of a sudden they go away. They don't exist there anymore and it becomes something else kind of magical."

By not trying to fool the audience and instead asking them to play along in this game of make-believe, the audience becomes a co-conspirator.

Palmer pointed out, "You can see the puppeteer right there in a ridiculous outfit. They're sweating and panting from having to run across the stage and they're waving the puppet around. It lets us all in on the joke in a way but also in the kind of the dream. It makes it evident to everybody in the audience that they are going to have to invest imaginatively in this in the same way as the people on stage are."

It's recommended that you bring a child-like sense of imagination to this show.

"That joy that you had when you were a kid," Corner said. "And you could imagine what would happen if a stick was suddenly a giant scary monster. I think that's what you want to bring to this production because that's what this production creates is the sense of wonder and joy and mystery that's inherent in being a kid."

And inherent in a story that begins with the magical possibilities of once upon a time…

San Diego Opera’s production of Engelbert Humperdick’s "Hansel and Gretel" opens Saturday and will have three additional performances through Feb. 16 at San Diego Civic Theatre.

Book 50: Sea People

The random number generator created 99X (I forgot to put in the last number and can't remember what it was) which is History and Geography > Oceania and elsewhere. Two interesting books were available: Selkirk's Island about a real life Robinson Crusoe, or Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia. I went with Christina Thompson's Sea People.

Sea People explores the history of Polynesia and the mystery of how humans populated a triangle of ocean stretching from New Zealand to Hawaii to Easter Island with some islands thousands of miles from each other. It goes through the "discovery" of the islands by Europeans, the first written accounts of their history, through Polynesian oral traditions, scientific attempts to decipher the origins, attempts to recreate sailing to the islands, and finally modern science's input.

Yes, the Royal Society makes an appearance, in that they needed somewhere to study the Transit of Venus near the equator in 1769 and just as a ship returned telling of a wonderful island called Tahiti. There they were able to talk with the natives and learn a bit about them. Most importantly they met a learned man named Tupaia who agreed to go with them on their voyage home where they encountered other groups of islands like New Zealand where he was of immense help translating and advising on proper behavior. Most intriguingly he made a map of all the islands he had heard of, and it remains a mystery to this day how to interpret it. It's not strictly a Cartesian coordinate map and many people have tried to explain how the islands are arranged.

The book mentions Maui and his amazing fish hook, and a guy who humped a pile of sand to make humans (best origin story yet). Funnily enough, the best, most learned scholars of the 19th century thought that Polynesians were Aryan in origin. That's real Iranian Aryans- not phony baloney blonde Nazi Aryans. However science of the early 20th century tried to go by "race" for the origin by measuring facial features and using, I swear to god, a skin color chart like that Family Guy terrorist meme. Obviously that failed for so many reasons. Currents to Polynesia generally run East to West so a lot of people, including Thor Heyerdahl thought the people must have come from South America. Unfortunately for them, computer models show that Kon-Tiki only made it to Polynesia because it was towed out to a good current, and that natural rafts would not have made it that way. In fact it showed it was nearly impossible to drift to Hawaii or New Zealand and that meant the Polynesians who settled there must have been heading in a general direction of exploration to get there.

Spoiler alert modern DNA shows that Polynesians came from Taiwan via Melanesia to Polynesia though they're still working out the details of how long they stayed in Melanesia and when they settled various islands. And they're perfecting interesting techniques like looking at the rat DNA of the ubiquitous stow-aways from Polynesian settlement.

BEST LINE: "From the perspective of the twenty-first century , a lot of this work looks creepy, and for good reason."

SHOULD YOU READ THIS BOOK:

I wish it had some maps of Polynesia and Melanesia and Micronesia so I could have had a better idea of keeping those straight, so look that up on wikipedia before you read, unless you already know, in which case kudos! But I do suggest reading the book. It's very interesting from a historical and science history perspective.

ART PROJECT:

The 20th century investigators took a lot of photographs of Polynesian natives and this is a drawing of one of them.

Libro.fm is the indie-bookstore-friendly, DRM-free audiobook alternative to Audible, the Amazon-owned monopolist that locks every book you buy to Amazon forever. When you buy a book on Libro, they share some of the purchase price with a local indie bookstore of your choosing (Libro is the best partner I have in selling my own DRM-free audiobooks!).

Glee and Days of Our Lives

So, ten years ago, some people on here compared some Glee characters (well, the gay characters) to DOOL's gay characters.

-They said Burt Hummel and Justin Kiriakis were the best fathers ever (Justin way less so than Burt, but he's still a pretty good dad. Mostly.)

-They said Glee should take notes from DOOL and have their gay couple talk things out.

-They wanted Blaine to give a long, anguished declaration of love to an unconscious Kurt the same way Sonny did for Will when he was in the hospital.

-When Sonny first appeared on the show, someone on Daytime Royalty said they also need a "Karofsky" type character (and they kind of got their wish with Paul).

Lately, I've realized...

Paul is Karofsky's good counterpart (which is funny, since Karofsky's dad's name is Paul). Both were athletes who hid their sexualities. Paul handled it way better (Although, he was older and more mature, so...) and pursued men who were already taken and they knew it.

Leo is Kurt's evil counterpart. Both dress flamboyantly, use expensive facial products, and both are besties with an overly ambitious and obnoxious brunette woman.

Will is Blaine's morally grey counterpart. Both cheated on their SOs because they felt lonely, both are married and have a daughter, and both pursued a career writing stories based on their own personal experiences (Will in screenwriting, Blaine being a playwright), and both became a big brother mentor to someone who was confused about their sexuality (Will to his sister Allie and Blaine to Kurt. Okay, Blaine is younger than Kurt, but still.)

Sonny and Kurt have a few things in common, too. Both are a little bi-phobic, both lost their moms and took it really hard, their boyfriends (husband in Sonny's case) cheated on them, they both have a parent who got cancer and they became despondent over that, and they both have a daughter.

Sigh. I've been wanting to write a fanfic where they meet, and it looks like when Will and Sonny left for New Zealand, it'd be the perfect time. But, is New York a layover on the way to NZ from Illinois or is California?

Final two posters

Introduction  

My name is Sarah. I was born in Palmerston North; I lived the first year of my life out on a farm, then moved to central Palmerston North. I moved out of Palmerston North when I was 18 years old to Wellington, where I lived for two years. At the beginning of last year, I moved to Auckland with the plan to pursue my studies again. I enjoy playing sports, mainly netball, although I haven’t done it in the past couple of years, but I do like participating in fitness as much as possible. I’ve enjoyed the design /photography arts for as long as I can remember. I took it all the way throughout high school, and I’ve also taken a Yoobee course relating to creative media/technologies. I’ve enjoyed the behind-the-scenes of creating the work as well as the final results with the message it is sending to the audience. I’ve chosen to study at AUT to gain skills so I can bring my ideas to life and strengthen them so they are to the best of my ability. As well as bring awareness to deafness as that is a big part of who I am and my identity as it is a very isolated community, and there is a long way to really support those with different impairments. I am currently unsure of where I want to go with my career in this Bachelor, but I am hoping that throughout the next couple of years studying at AUT, I’ll find what career pathway I am passionate about.  

Rational 

Political message is about NZSL Being in endangered. Layout i want it to represent NZSL visually to the best of my ability with the text. I choose the colours Black and white with red and dark navy blue to help bring out the contrast with the words but also to make the audience feel something with the word verbal and visual. I chose to have the language is verbal more structured and balanced as that what verbal is like there is sentence structure as New Zealand Sign Language is broken English but is more visually expressed with body language, using the eyes, mouth, and facial expression. As well verbal is about tone with speech as that why i had the verbal in a different type of font than the word language is not just and the words It can be visual is more flowy and relax and there’s no structure for that.

Experience the Magic of Laser Skin Rejuvenation and Carbon Laser Facials

In today's fast-paced world, taking care of our skin can often take a backseat in our busy lives. However, with the advancement in cosmetic procedures, achieving youthful and radiant skin has become more accessible than ever before. Laser skin rejuvenation and carbon laser facials have emerged as two innovative and highly effective treatments that can help you achieve your skin goals. In this article, we will delve into the world of these treatments and explore how they can transform your skin. 

Laser Skin Rejuvenation: A Radiant Transformation 

Laser skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes the power of laser technology to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin. It is designed to target a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone. This treatment works by stimulating collagen production, the key protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. 

One of the remarkable aspects of laser skin rejuvenation is its precision. The laser can be adjusted to target specific areas of concern, ensuring that the treatment is tailored to your unique needs. The procedure is relatively quick and virtually painless, with minimal downtime, making it an attractive option for those with busy schedules. 

Carbon Laser Facial: Unveil Your Best Skin 

The carbon laser facial, also known as the "Hollywood Laser Peel" or "Black Doll Facial," has gained popularity for its ability to transform dull and tired-looking skin into a radiant and refreshed complexion. This treatment involves applying a thin layer of medical-grade carbon to the skin's surface, which acts as a highly effective photo-enhancer. 

Once the carbon is applied, a specialized laser is used to heat and vaporize the carbon particles. This process not only exfoliates the skin but also targets impurities and dead skin cells. As the laser energy penetrates the skin, it stimulates collagen production and tightens the pores, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. 

One of the standout features of the carbon laser facial is its immediate results. After just one session, you can expect to see a noticeable improvement in the texture and tone of your skin. It's a fantastic option for individuals looking for a quick pick-me-up before a special occasion or those wanting to maintain their skin's overall health and vibrancy.

Dermal Fillers: What You Need to Know Before Getting Them

Introduction:

In the world of aesthetics, the pursuit of timeless beauty has taken on a new dimension, thanks to advancements in cosmetic procedures. Dermal fillers have emerged as one of the most popular non-surgical treatments, offering a quick and effective solution to enhance facial features and combat signs of ageing. If you're considering dermal fillers in New Zealand, it's essential to be well-informed before taking the plunge. 

Understanding Dermal Fillers:

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to rejuvenate the skin, restore volume, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They are often made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, making them safe and biocompatible. These fillers work by replenishing lost volume, enhancing facial contours, and smoothing out imperfections.

Key Considerations Before Getting Dermal Fillers:

Consultation: Before scheduling your dermal filler appointment, consult with a qualified and experienced aesthetic practitioner. During this consultation, you'll discuss your goals, expectations, and any concerns you may have. The practitioner will assess your facial structure and recommend the most suitable filler type and treatment plan.

Provider Selection: Ensure you choose a licensed and reputable provider operating in a safe and sterile environment. Ask for recommendations, check reviews, and verify their credentials. Your safety should always be the top priority.

Types of Fillers: There are various types of dermal fillers available, each designed for specific purposes. Discuss the options with your practitioner to determine which one aligns with your desired outcome.

Costs: Dermal filler costs can vary based on the type of filler used and the number of injections required. Get a clear understanding of the pricing structure and any potential additional fees.

Treatment Process: Understand the entire treatment process, including the duration of the procedure, potential discomfort, and any downtime required for recovery. Most dermal filler treatments are relatively quick, but it's essential to plan accordingly.

Risks and Side Effects: While dermal fillers are generally safe, they can have potential side effects, such as swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Your practitioner should discuss these risks with you during the consultation.

Maintenance: Dermal fillers are not permanent, and the effects typically last for several months to a year. Discuss the maintenance plan with your provider to keep your results looking their best.

Conclusion:

In the Clinical Aesthetic Network of New Zealand, the pursuit of beauty is met with utmost professionalism and care. Dermal fillers have become a popular choice for those seeking a refreshed and youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery. However, it is crucial to approach this journey with caution and awareness.

Before getting dermal fillers, consult with a qualified practitioner, carefully choose your provider, and understand the various filler options. Your decision should be rooted in knowledge and confidence, ensuring that you achieve the desired results safely and effectively.

Remember, beauty is a personal journey, and your choice to undergo dermal filler treatment should be driven by your individual desires and needs. With the right information and guidance, you can embark on this transformative experience with confidence and grace, knowing you are in good hands within the Clinical Aesthetic Network of New Zealand. Your journey towards a more vibrant, youthful you begins here. Contact us today!

Eyebrows play a crucial role in framing the face and enhancing one's natural beauty. Well-defined and well-groomed eyebrows can make a significant impact on an individual's appearance. However, not everyone is naturally blessed with perfectly shaped and full eyebrows. That's where eyebrow tinting comes into play.

What Is Eyebrow Tinting?

Eyebrow tinting is a beauty treatment that involves applying a semi-permanent dye to the eyebrows to enhance their color and shape. The process is meticulously done by professionals who take into account your desired look and natural features to achieve the best results. In Palmerston North, you can find numerous salons and beauty centers offering expert eyebrow tinting services.

Benefits of Eyebrow Tinting

Enhanced Facial Features: Eyebrow tinting can make your eyes appear brighter and more defined. By selecting a color that complements your natural hair color and skin tone, the tinting process enhances your overall facial features.

Time-Saving: Tinted eyebrows require less daily maintenance. You won't need to spend time filling in your eyebrows with pencils or powders, as they will already look fuller and more pronounced.

Confidence Boost: Well-groomed eyebrows can boost your self-confidence. Having eyebrows that frame your face beautifully can make you feel more put-together and confident in your appearance.

Low-Maintenance: Eyebrow tinting is a semi-permanent solution that lasts for several weeks. This means less frequent touch-ups compared to daily makeup routines.

Customization: Professional estheticians in Palmerston North can customize the tinting process to achieve the shape and color you desire while ensuring it complements your individual style and appearance.

Safety and Care

Professional eyebrow tinting in Palmerston North is a safe and precise process. The estheticians use high-quality dyes and take necessary precautions to protect your skin and eyes during the treatment. Aftercare instructions may include avoiding excessive exposure to sunlight and harsh skincare products to prolong the tint's vibrancy.

Conclusion

Eyebrow tinting in Palmerston North is more than just a beauty trend; it's a means of framing one's natural beauty and enhancing overall facial features. With skilled professionals and a range of options to suit your style and preferences, eyebrow tinting has become an essential part of the self-care and beauty routine for many in the region.

Whether you're a resident of Palmerston North or a visitor to this picturesque city, exploring eyebrow tinting is a delightful way to accentuate your natural beauty and boost your confidence. It's an art that combines expert techniques with the desire for more defined, striking eyebrows, and it's an experience that leaves you feeling beautifully framed and ready to face the world.
