About: Ella was adopted as a baby by Simon and Katherine. It was believed she was human until she shifted for the first time at the age of 13 years old. Ella is closest to her eldest brother, Zachery. She is a watercolor artist and has an online shop where she sells her work. All she knows about being a shifter is what she has read from books and learned by trial and error. Ella is quiet and prefers to spending her free time sitting under a tree painting or drawing. Her daisy tattoo is a matching one with Zachery, Phillip and Hazel. They are in memory of Katherine who passed when Ella and Hazel were 11 years old as they were her favorite flower. Hazel did all four tattoos.

books I read in 2023
I had a huge reading year this year because of my gruelingly long commute. The list below the cut is mostly for my own edification, but I’m a nosy person who supports other nosy people, so if you want to know what I’ve been up to, have at it. Almost everything I read this year was from the library.

6/19 The Three Body Problem, Cixin Liu
6/19 A Fortune for Your Disaster, Hanif Abdurraqib (I liked this even more than the last one I read. Maybe because it was an audiobook read by the author.)

14 histoires pour avoir peur mais pas trop quand même (turned into full cast audio and the music between stories was really annoying)
Manhunt, Gretchen Felker-Martin (not in the right headspace maybe, maybe just not for me)
American Cozy, Stephanie Pedersen (got annoyed at how much of the information hinged on living in a huge suburban home with 18 closets and a husband and multiple children you can make do your chores for you)
The Curated Closet, Anuschka Rees (not bad just not what I was looking for)

Do you have recs for adaptations of classics that have been made queer? Not really looking for fairytales since I've found plenty of those on my own but like (even more so than they already were) queer Jane Austen or Shakespeare works (though really any classic would work)
Yep! Here are a whole bunch of YA ones, which you can also find here: https://lgbtqreads.com/young-adult/ya-by-trope-theme-setting/:
His Hideous Heart ed. by Dahlia Adler (various works by Edgar Allan Poe)
*That Way Madness Lies ed. by Dahlia Adler (various works by Shakespeare)
Love in the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block (The Odyssey)
Nothing Happened by Molly Booth (Much Ado About Nothing)
The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer (Hades-Persephone myth)
The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake (Twelfth Night)
The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember (The Little Mermaid)
Ruinsong by Julia Ember (The Phantom of the Opera)
Lizzie by Dawn Ius (Lizzie Borden)
About A Girl by Sarah McCarry (Amz)
The Secrets of Eden by Brandon Goode (Cinderella)
*Escaping Mr. Rochester by L.L. McKinney (Jane Eyre)
Blanca & Roja by Anna-Marie McLemore (Snow White and Rose Red)
Dark and Deepest Red by Anna-Marie McLemore (The Red Shoes)
Sometime After Midnight by L. Philips (Cinderella)
Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim (The Count of Monte Cristo)
As I Descended by Robin Talley (Macbeth)
Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi (Atalanta myth)
Here’s Adult SFF, which is mostly fairytale but just in case, and which you can find here: https://lgbtqreads.com/sff/spec-fic-by-subgenre/:
Thorn by Anna Burke (Beauty and the Beast)
Nottingham by Anna Burke (Robin Hood) 
Peter Darling by Austin Chant (Peter Pan)
In the Vanishers’ Palace by Aliette de Bodard (Beauty and the Beast) Miranda in Milan by Katharine Duckett (The Tempest) 
Cinder Ella by S.T. Lynn (Cinderella)
*She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan (Mulan)
*Malice by Heather Walter (Sleeping Beauty)
These five books are all specifically Pride & Prejudice: https://lgbtqreads.com/2018/07/18/fave-five-lgbtq-takes-on-pride-prejudice/ and you can find Emma done by Tamsen Parker in If I Loved You Less.
I also must mention that Nghi Vo is doing an upcoming Gatsby reimagining with a queer Jordan Baker MC called The Chosen and the Beautiful.
Anyway there’s definitely a lot more - I see as I go through the site I have a lot of updating to do in this realm - but there’s a whole bunch of start with, including some Shakespeare and Austen!

Waitress
Waitress - Broadway - March 30, 2016 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Keala Settle (Becky), Kimiko Glenn (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Nick Cordero (Earl) NOTES: Beautiful capture of this stunning Broadway transfer. This is the performance where the set broke and Sara Bareilles came out while it was being fixed. She sang (a cut song from the show and Part of Your World) and talked with the audience, which is included. A+ Waitress - Broadway - June 14, 2016 (SJ Bernly's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Keala Settle (Becky), Kimiko Glenn (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Nick Cordero (Earl) NOTES: Fantastic performances from the entire original cast. Jessie’s voice fits beautifully with the score, and she gives a gut-wrenching performance of She Used to Be Mine. Drew, Kimiko, Keala, and Christopher are each hilarious and endearing. Nicely captured with just a few quick dropouts and no major blackouts. There is one head on the left that can occasionally be seen, but it never blocks the action. There is some slight washout in some of the wider shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. Waitress - Broadway - July 20, 2016 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Keala Settle (Becky), Stephanie Torns (u/s Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (u/s Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Nick Cordero (Earl), Charity Angél Dawson (Nurse Norma), McKenna Keane (Lulu), Ragan Pharris (s/w Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Ryan Vasquez (Father) NOTES: Beautiful HD capture with no obstructions of this charming show. Kimiko was on leave and Stephanie steps into the role, doing a wonderful job as Dawn. Terrific cast and performances! A+ Waitress - Broadway - October 26, 2016 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (u/s Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Henry Gottfried (u/s Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), William Popp (Earl) NOTES: Excellent HD capture of the replacement cast members. The show is still in wonderful shape with a terrific cast and stellar performances! A Waitress - Broadway - April 19, 2017 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Sara Bareilles (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Molly Jobe (u/s Dawn), Chris Diamantopoulos (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Will Swenson (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father) NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of the new cast change as the composer, Sara Bareilles takes over Jenna. Her performance of "What Baking Can Do" will knock you onto the floor! Terrific and fresh cast with a ton of exciting energy! A Waitress - Broadway - June 29, 2017 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Betsy Wolfe (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Molly Jobe (u/s Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (u/s Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Joe Tippett (Earl) NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of Betsy joining and Drew returning to the cast. Betsy remains one of my and Broadway's new unstoppable leading ladies, which is clearly stated in this role! A Waitress - Broadway - August 6, 2017 FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Betsy Wolfe (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Molly Jobe (u/s Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Joe Tippett (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Ella Dane Morgan (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father) NOTES: Not the best filmed, but the audio is great and it’s the full show and the only known video of Christopher and Betsy together. Occasionally filmed vertical (but the video stays locked horizontally during that portion unfortunately) and edited together with horizontal footage. Lots of washout but what is captured is very interesting to see without all of the zooms in other videos. Waitress - Broadway - May 26, 2018 (Highlights) (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Katharine McPhee (Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Brandon Kalm (u/s Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Steve Vinovich (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl) NOTES: Three minutes of highlight footage including "It Only Takes a Taste" and "What Baking Can Do." Waitress - Broadway - June 27, 2018 (Matinee) (Highlights) (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Stephanie Torns (t/r Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Erich Bergen (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Bill Nolte (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Molly Jobe (s/w Francine Pomatter), Keri René Fuller (t/r Mother), Kayla Davion, Law Terrell Dunford, Tyrone Davis Jr NOTES: Act 1 Only. A lot less drop-outs/wandering than in my Mean Girls video. There are almost no obstructions. This footage has some white-out at times, but is overall a good capture with a lot of really beautiful close-ups. Waitress - Broadway - August 10, 2018 (Highlights) (sorrynotsorry's master) FORMAT:  MOV (HD) |  TRADER'S NOTES: Act 1 only CAST: Katharine McPhee (Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Katie Lowes (Dawn), Erich Bergen (Dr. Pomatter), Adam Shapiro (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Bill Nolte (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father) NOTES: Act two only, recorded vertically from a box with obstructed view of the stage. Very steady camera, excellent audio quality, and pretty good video! Waitress - Broadway - October 2, 2018 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Nicolette Robinson (Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Katie Lowes (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Adam Shapiro (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Bill Nolte (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Mariam Bedigian (Lulu), Molly Jobe (s/w Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Brandon Kalm (s/w Father) NOTES: First Video with Breast Cancer Awareness Costumes. Waitress - Broadway - January 12, 2019 (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Sara Bareilles (Jenna), Anastacia McCleskey (u/s Becky), Lenne Klingaman (Dawn), Gavin Creel (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Larry Marshall (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Tiffany Denise Hobbs (s/w Nurse Norma), Riley Summer Perler (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother) NOTES: There's a good amount of obstruction, and I took the opportunity to rest my hand whenever Joe was onstage...but pretty much everything that matters (or at least everything that the master cares about) is captured well. Sometimes we're on a slant and sometimes things aren't centered. Deal with it. I did the best I could while feeling comfortable and it's HD. Waitress - Broadway - January 5, 2020 (Closing Night) (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) |  TRADER'S NOTES: Act 2 only CAST: Katharine McPhee (Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Larry Marshall (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Dayna Jarae Dantzler (Nurse Norma), Delaney Quinn (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Henry Gottfried (Father) NOTES: This recording is the result of two separate releases merged into one—please note that not all traders have both acts so check with traders. The following notes are for the Act One release—screencaps below include the separate Act Two. Blurry HD capture of the final Broadway performance. Act One only, it’s a perfectly aimed video with no obstructions but unfortunately all of the Act is blurry and very little details can be made out. Waitress - Broadway - April, 2019 (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Shoshana Bean (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Molly Jobe (u/s Dawn), Jeremy Jordan (Dr. Pomatter), Eddie Jemison (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Larry Marshall (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Melody A Betts (Nurse Norma), Tess Murphy (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Dan Tracy (Father) NOTES: A nearly perfect video and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT performance. Small obstructions occur at Joe's table (but who cares) and during Negative. The rest of show, however, is captured gorgeously (and this time not diagonally). The video is very Shoshana focused, but I try to give everyone (yes, Jeremy too) their moments. The colors are absolutely vivid and I was trying new stabilization settings on my camera and god I'm gonna keep it this way. Do not list this video with an exact date. Waitress - Broadway - August-September, 2016 (Highlights) (anstergam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Keala Settle (Becky), Jenna Ushkowitz (t/r Dawn), Eric Anderson (Cal) NOTES: Highlight of the opening number, with a rare glimpse at Jenna's short-lived performance of Dawn. 1080p60 YouTube rip of an unreleased full video. Gifted upon request. Waitress - Broadway - August, 2019 (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alison Luff (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Colleen Ballinger (Dawn), Mark Evans (Dr. Pomatter), Todrick Hall (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Richard Kline (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Dayna Jarae Dantzler (Nurse Norma), Delaney Quinn (Lulu) NOTES: Excellent HD capture of internet sensation Colleen Ballinger and Todrick Hall's return to Broadway! There are a couple lengthy dropouts throughout Act One. Todrick is honestly one of the best Ogies on Broadway despite the key change and Alison's emotion as Jenna is breathtaking as always. Please do not post screenshots of this video on Twitter ever. Gifs on Tumblr are okay after the NFT date, but don’t go linking things to actors and shows. Waitress - Broadway - January, 2019 (NYCG8R's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Sara Bareilles (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Lenne Klingaman (Dawn), Gavin Creel (Dr. Pomatter), Tyrone Davis Jr (u/s Ogie), Andrew Fitch (u/s Cal), Larry Marshall (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Molly Jobe (s/w Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Dan Tracy (Father) NOTES: Filmed early in Sara's third run, before she added new riffs, but she still gives off a wonderful performance to a very reactive audience. Waitress - Broadway - July, 2019 (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Alison Luff (Jenna), Dayna Jarae Dantzler (u/s Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Mark Evans (Dr. Pomatter), Noah Galvin (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Richard Kline (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Arica Jackson (u/s Nurse Norma), Everleigh Rottuno (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Dan Tracy (Father) NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of a lot of new and old cast members, including newcomers Alison, Mark, and Noah, along with Caitlin’s return to the role and Richard’s short temporary residence in the Broadway company. Dayna is absolutely hilarious as Becky. Act One starts shortly after Earl's entrance. Please do not post screenshots of this video on Twitter ever. Gifs on Tumblr are okay after the NFT date, but don’t go linking things to actors and shows. Waitress - Broadway - May, 2018 (NYCG8R's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Katharine McPhee (Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Ben Thompson (Earl), Tiffany Mann (t/r Nurse Norma), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Keri René Fuller (t/r Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father) Waitress - Broadway - November, 2019 (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Jordin Sparks (Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Caitlin Houlahan (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Al Roker (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Dayna Jarae Dantzler (Nurse Norma), Sophia Rodriguez (Lulu), Stephanie Torns (Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Dan Tracy (Father) NOTES: Good HD capture of Jordin’s brilliant take on the main role. Act One starts right when “The Negative” begins. Act Two begins just a few lines into the Act. There are a couple of dropouts throughout the show but none lasting more than 10 seconds, with most being significantly shorter than that. Some very slight wandering as the master changed camera angles or focused on someone taking photos of the show with an iPhone. Please do not post screenshots of this video on Twitter ever. Gifs on Tumblr are okay after the NFT date, but don't go linking things to actors and shows. Waitress - Broadway - September, 2018 (NYCG8R's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Nicolette Robinson (Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Katie Lowes (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Adam Shapiro (Ogie), Benny Elledge (Cal), Bill Nolte (Joe), Ben Thompson (Earl), Anastacia McCleskey (Nurse Norma), Mariam Bedigian (Lulu), Molly Jobe (t/r Francine Pomatter), Molly Hager (Mother), Matt DeAngelis (Father) NOTES: Incredible capture of Nicolette's first few days in the role, and the first known video of Adam and Katie. The action is very well followed, filmed from the same seats as the May, 2018 video. The quality is gorgeous, and the closeups are beautiful. Waitress - First National Tour - January 7, 2018 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Emily Koch (u/s Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Lenne Klingaman (Dawn), Bryan Fenkart (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (Ogie), Ryan G Dunkin (Cal), Larry Marshall (Joe), Nick Bailey (Earl) NOTES: Beautiful HD capture with no obstructions. Emily does a wonderful job in the role and has such a powerful voice! Waitress - First National Tour - July 29, 2018 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  VOB (no smalls) (SD) CAST: Desi Oakley (Jenna), Charity Angél Dawson (Becky), Lenne Klingaman (Dawn), Bryan Fenkart (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (Ogie), Ryan G Dunkin (Cal), Larry Marshall (Joe), Jim Hogan (u/s Earl), Maiesha McQueen (Nurse Norma), Kyra Kennedy (Francine Pomatter), Grace Stockdale (Mother), Brad Standley (s/w Father) NOTES: Great HD capture of the Original Tour Cast. Desi does a wonderful job as Jenna, who has since left the Tour. Great performances! A Waitress - First National Tour - April 27, 2019 (Matinee) (myroadofgoodintentions's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) |  TRADER'S NOTES: Act 1 only CAST: Lulu Lloyd (u/s Jenna), Rheaume Crenshaw (u/s Becky), Ephie Aardema (Dawn), Steven Good (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (Ogie), Ryan G Dunkin (Cal), Richard Kline (Joe), Jeremy Woodard (Earl), Tatiana Lofton (u/s Nurse Norma), Alex Tripp (Francine Pomatter), Grace Stockdale (s/w Mother) NOTES: Lulu's third show as Jenna. High def video, some minor obstructions esp towards end of act 2, some occasional white outs, and mild shakiness. Overall an AMAZING capture of Lulu as Jenna. Waitress - First National Tour - April 28, 2019 (myroadofgoodintentions's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Grace Stockdale (u/s Jenna), Maiesha McQueen (Becky), Ephie Aardema (Dawn), Steven Good (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (Ogie), Ryan G Dunkin (Cal), Richard Kline (Joe), Jeremy Woodard (Earl), Rheaume Crenshaw (Nurse Norma), Alex Tripp (Francine Pomatter), Lulu Lloyd (Mother) NOTES: High def video, some minor obstructions esp towards end of act 2, some occasional white outs, and mild shakiness and a few jumps. Overall a beautiful capture of Grace as Jenna, her first bootleg after being in the show for over two years!! Curtain call is obstructed due to people standing that could not shoot around Waitress - First National Tour - August, 2018 (Highlights) (anstergam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Desi Oakley (Jenna), Bryan Fenkart (Dr. Pomatter) NOTES: Bad Idea only. Short clip of an unreleased full video, filmed shortly before Desi left the company. Gifted upon request. Waitress - Pre-Broadway / Cambridge - September 2, 2015 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Jessie Mueller (Jenna), Keala Settle (Becky), Jeanna de Waal (Dawn), Drew Gehling (Dr. Pomatter), Jeremy Morse (Ogie), Eric Anderson (Cal), Dakin Matthews (Joe), Joe Tippett (Earl), Giana Ribeiro (Lulu) NOTES: Stunning HD capture of the new PreBroadway Sara Bareilles musical. Beautiful production and equally stunning performances. Jessie as you have come to expect gives a flawless performace with such beautiful and heartbreaking moments, with a matching cast! A+ Waitress - Second National Tour - February 16, 2020 (myroadofgoodintentions's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Bailey McCall (Jenna), Kennedy Salters (Becky), Gabriella Marzetta (Dawn), David Socolar (Dr. Pomatter), Brian Lundy (Ogie), Jake Mills (Cal), Michael R Douglass (Joe), Clayton Howe (Earl) NOTES: Missing a small portion of the beginning of each act. Some shakiness, minor obstructions, but otherwise a brilliant capture of the AMAZING second national tour cast!! Mix of wides and zooms, centered on the action. Waitress - Second National Tour - February, 2020 (2) (Highlights) (anstergam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Bailey McCall (Jenna), David Socolar (Dr. Pomatter) NOTES: Bad Idea only. 1080p60 YouTube rip of an unreleased full video. Gifted upon request.
Waitress - West End - March 8, 2019 (Opening Night) (Highlights) (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Katharine McPhee (Jenna), Marisha Wallace (Becky), Laura Baldwin (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Michael Hamway (u/s Ogie), Stephen Leask (Cal), Shaun Prendergast (Joe), Peter Hannah (Earl), Kelly Agbowu (Nurse Norma), Arabella Duffy (Lulu), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter), Charlotte Riby (Mother) NOTES: Highlights start at the top of the show and end at the end of Negative Waitress - West End - July 3, 2019 (Matinee) (Highlights) (queenofthedead's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Lucie Jones (Jenna), Charlotte Riby (u/s Becky), Olivia Moore (u/s Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Mike Hamway (u/s Ogie), Stephen Leask (Cal), Shaun Prendergast (Joe), Peter Hannah (Earl), Kelly Agbowu (Nurse Norma) NOTES: Act 2 only, shot around heads. Waitress - West End - July 17, 2019 (Matinee) (queenofthedead's master) FORMAT:  MOV (HD) CAST: Lucie Jones (Jenna), Marisha Wallace (Becky), Ashley Roberts (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Blake Harrison (Ogie), Chris McGuigan (u/s Cal), Stephen Leask (u/s Joe), Peter Hannah (Earl), Kelly Agbowu (Nurse Norma), Annabelle Jones (Lulu), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter), Charlotte Riby (Mother) NOTES: A great stageshot from the dress circle. The heads don't affect much of the action except for the front of the stage near actor's legs, but they never affect any more than that. A majority of the action can be seen and there is very little washout even with there being so few zooms. 3840x2160p, 22.90 GB total. Waitress - West End - July 24, 2019 (queenofthedead's master) FORMAT:  MOV (HD) CAST: Olivia Moore (u/s Jenna), Marisha Wallace (Becky), Ashley Roberts (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Blake Harrison (Ogie), Stephen Leask (Cal), Shaun Prendergast (Joe), Peter Hannah (Earl), Nicole Raquel Dennis (u/s Nurse Norma), Juliette Clemens-Lary (Lulu), Charlotte Riby (Mother) NOTES: Liv’s 5th show as Jenna. A few heads in front but worked around them as best I could and I don’t think much was missed. Minimal zooms, if there are multiple things happening on stage it tends to capture them all and for the most part it’s smooth footage. Goes out of focus at the end for about a minute (ushers) which is shown in the photos. This is also the show where David put cream in Nicole’s mouth in Pomatter Pie. Waitress - West End - August, 2019 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MTS CAST: Lucie Jones (Jenna), Marisha Wallace (Becky), Sarah O'Connor (u/s Dawn), Piers Bate (u/s Dr. Pomatter), Blake Harrison (Ogie), Stephen Leask (Cal), Andrew Boyer (Joe), Peter Hannah (Earl), Kelly Agbowu (Nurse Norma), Juliette Clemens-Lary (Lulu), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter), Leanne Pinder (s/w Mother), Chris McGuigan (Father) NOTES: Shot around heads and safety barriers, Act One is Opening Up through You Will Still Be Mine and mostly unwatchable except for a few scenes; Act Two is full and much better, includes Act One audio Waitress - West End - December, 2019 (2) (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MTS CAST: Sarah O'Connor (u/s Jenna), Sandra Marvin (Becky), Hannah Tointon (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Joel Montague (Ogie), Richard Taylor Woods (Cal), Andrew Boyer (Joe), Piers Bate (u/s Earl), Rosemary Nkrumah (Nurse Norma), Lucia De Wan (Lulu), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter), Laura Selwood (Mother), Ben Morris (Father) NOTES: MTS, shot around heads and shaky at times but catches many moments beautifully. Waitress - West End - January, 2020 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MTS CAST: Desi Oakley (e/c Jenna), Marisha Wallace (Becky), Hannah Tointon (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Nathaniel Morrison (u/s Ogie), Mark Willshire (u/s Cal), Andrew Boyer (Joe), Piers Bate (u/s Earl), Rosemary Nkrumah (Nurse Norma), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter) NOTES: Beautiful capture of Desi as an emergency cover Jenna in the West End. Zero obstructions except a couple of heads at the bottom, but they don’t obstruct any of the action on stage. Waitress - West End - July, 2019 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MTS CAST: Olivia Moore (u/s Jenna), Marisha Wallace (Becky), Ashley Roberts (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Blake Harrison (Ogie), Stephen Leask (Cal), Shaun Prendergast (Joe), Peter Hannah (Earl) Waitress - West End - March, 2020 (queenofthedead's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Sara Bareilles (Jenna), Rosemary Nkrumah (u/s Becky), Evelyn Hoskins (Dawn), Gavin Creel (Dr. Pomatter), Joel Montague (Ogie), Richard Taylor Woods (Cal), Andrew Boyer (Joe), Tamlyn Henderson (Earl), Laura Selwood (u/s Nurse Norma), Madison Worley (Lulu), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter), Leanne Pinder (s/w Mother) NOTES: Missing about 2 mins throughout Opening Up. Bar obstructs at the bottom of the shot for action close to the front of the stage but for Waitress this isn't much. Sara and Gavin break in their first scene. Waitress - West End - March, 2020 (2) (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Sara Bareilles (Jenna), NaTasha Yvette Williams (Becky), Evelyn Hoskins (Dawn), Gavin Creel (Dr. Pomatter), Joel Montague (Ogie), Richard Taylor Woods (Cal), Andrew Boyer (Joe), Tamlyn Henderson (Earl), Rosemary Nkrumah (Nurse Norma), Lucia De Wan (Lulu), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter), Leanne Pinder (s/w Mother), Matthew Rowland (s/w Father) Waitress - West End - May, 2019 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Sarah O'Connor (u/s Jenna), Marisha Wallace (Becky), Laura Baldwin (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Jack McBrayer (Ogie), Chris McGuigan (u/s Cal), Stephen Leask (u/s Joe), Peter Hannah (Earl), Nicole Raquel Dennis (s/w Nurse Norma) Waitress - West End - November, 2019 (queenofthedead's master) FORMAT:  MTS CAST: Lucie Jones (Jenna), Sandra Marvin (Becky), Laura Baldwin (Dawn), Michael Hamway (u/s Dr. Pomatter), Joe Sugg (Ogie), Stephen Leask (Cal), Andrew Boyer (Joe), Tamlyn Henderson (Earl), Kelly Agbowu (Nurse Norma), Annabelle Jones (Lulu), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter), Charlotte Riby (Mother), Chris McGuigan (Father) NOTES: MTS files. A really nice capture taken from towards the front of the dress circle and with only one head that’s rarely in the way at all. Only action not well captured due to ushers is the start of club knocked up and ~5 mins at the end of never ever getting rid of me. Mike does a great job as Pomatter! Waitress - West End - October, 2019 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MTS CAST: Lucie Jones (Jenna), Kelly Agbowu (u/s Becky), Laura Baldwin (Dawn), David Hunter (Dr. Pomatter), Joe Sugg (Ogie), Stephen Leask (Cal), Andrew Boyer (Joe), Tamlyn Henderson (Earl), Cindy Belliot (u/s Nurse Norma), Juliette Clemens-Lary (Lulu), Olivia Moore (Francine Pomatter) NOTES: Never to be shared publicly on YouTube, Tumblr, Facebook etc.

Donald Ogden Stewart: Katharine Hepburn’s Secret Weapon by Kimberly Lindbergs
You may not recognize Donald Ogden Stewart’s name but if you are a classic film fan you’re probably familiar with his work. Stewart’s ability to write snappy dialogue and adapt popular plays for the screen made him one of the highest paid screenwriters in Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940s. And throughout his career, Stewart regularly worked with actress Katharine Hepburn. The pair made five films together including HOLIDAY (’38), THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (’40), KEEPER OF THE FLAME (‘43), WITHOUT LOVE (‘45) and SUMMERTIME (‘55). The last three titles are currently available to stream on FilmStruck and provide a fascinating look at the collaborative relationship between the successful screenwriter and accomplished actress who became lifelong friends during one of the most inspired and turbulent periods in Hollywood history.
Hooray for Hollywood!
Donald Ogden Stewart was born in Columbus, Ohio into a wealthy and well-connected family. After graduating from Yale University, he moved himself and his recently widowed mother to New York’s Greenwich Village. In this urban bohemia Stewart’s writing really began to flourish with encouragement from his friend and fellow Yale scholar, author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Stewart found regular employment with Vanity Fair and in 1920 he released his first book, a clever satire titled A Parody Outline of History. Stewart’s book was so well received that it earned him a place at the Algonquin Round Table where his natural wit and charm impressed other literary giants including Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley. He also became friendly with Ernest Hemingway who used Stewart as the model for the fictional character of Bill Gorton in his debut novel, The Sun Also Rises.
In 1924, Stewart married an attractive socialite named Beatrice Ames and the couple eventually settled in Hollywood where Stewart found regular employment with MGM. One of Stewart’s earliest screen writing successes was DINNER AT EIGHT (’33), based on a play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, which poked fun at high society. His insider’s perspective would become an asset at MGM where he was regularly asked to help script films that satirized high society.
Tumblr media
Working with Katharine Hepburn
Stewart and Hepburn first met during the original stage production of HOLIDAY in 1928. A decade later, Stewart and Hepburn were reunited on the MGM set for George Cukor’s film version of HOLIDAY (’38) but this time Stewart was working as a screen writer and Hepburn was an up and coming actress. Although the film version didn’t find an appreciative audience at the time, it’s grown in stature since its release. Stewart has been credited for his sharp dialogue, which enriched the original text, and Hepburn’s interpretation of the jaded debutante Linda Seton is arguably one of her most enduring screen characters.
Despite the mixed critical reaction to HOLIDAY, Cukor and MGM brought Stewart and Hepburn together again to make THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (’40). The film was a smashing success that earned Stewart an Academy Award for his screenplay and cemented Hepburn’s reputation as one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.
Political Activism
During his time in Hollywood, Stewart became deeply involved in various political causes. Although it’s evident from his early screenplays that he had always had a social conscience, the rise of fascism in Europe was a catalyst for his left leaning radicalism. Stewart was a proud supporter of Roosevelt’s New Deal and embraced socialist causes after reading the work of British Labour politician John Strachey. Having endured the Great Depression, Stewart was keenly aware of the destruction that unchecked capitalism had wrought and as someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was compelled to reexamine his own privilege.
Stewart’s political awakening spurred him to become chairman of the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League alongside longtime friend Dorothy Parker. He also became President of the League of American Writers, which was a branch of the CPUSA (Communist Party USA) that included Stewart’s friend, Ernest Hemingway, among its members. His political activities put a strain on his marriage and he divorced his first wife in 1938 but eventually married fellow writer and activist, Ella Winter.
Stewart’s activities brought him to the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee, which accused him of aiding the Communist movement. Stewart fought back and was forced to defend himself as early as 1938 in newspaper articles where he argued that the HUAC was “in themselves a threat to democracy” and mocked the organizations support of “anti-labor, anti-Roosevelt causes.”
Tumblr media
Radical Filmmaking
In 1943, Stewart got the opportunity to express his anti-fascist sentiments while working on the screenplay for KEEPER OF THE FLAME based on I.A.R. Wylie’s novel of the same name. The MGM production reunited Stewart with Hepburn as well as director Cukor. KEEPER OF THE FLAME is a provocative slow-burn thriller also starring Spencer Tracy who plays a reporter trying to piece together the mysterious death of a celebrated American hero named Robert Forrest. Hepburn plays Forrest’s wife in the film who reveals that her wealthy patriotic husband, with help from other powerful men, was secretly undermining American democracy by subverting the free press and stirring up division. Her character explains that, “They didn't call it fascism. They painted it red, white and blue and called it Americanism.”
When KEEPER OF THE FLAME was screened for the Office of War Information's Bureau of Motion Pictures, the Bureau Chief (Lowell Mellett) openly expressed his disapproval of the film’s anti-capitalist message and during its premiere producer Louis B. Mayer walked out of the theatre frustrated by the script’s suggestion that fascism was linked to American wealth and power. Republican members of Congress at the time were so outraged by the film that they demanded that the President of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (William H. Hays) establish new guidelines against political propaganda.
Tumblr media
End of a Career
Thanks to the fallout from KEEPER OF THE FLAME, Stewart’s reputation began to suffer but he continued working sporadically, and in 1945 he reunited with Hepburn and Tracy to make WITHOUT LOVE. Stewart did a bang-up job of adapting it for the screen but the direction is a bit scattershot. Despite some missteps, Hepburn is particularly wonderful and gives a well-rounded lowkey performance as a melancholy young widow who enters a loveless marriage with Tracy only to discover that she really has feelings for him.
Other films followed including the Oscar-nominated LIFE WITH FATHER (‘47) but Stewart’s career ended abruptly in 1950 when his name was included in Red Channels, a right-wing, anti-communist booklet that became the basis of the Hollywood blacklist. Stewart, like many progressives and radicals at the time, was singled out for his political pursuits as well as his scripts which lampooned the rich or worse, accused them of anti-democratic warmongering.
Stewart refused to renounce his politics or name names so he and his wife fled the country in 1951 and settled in London. Hepburn followed the couple there, helping her friends set up home in Hampstead where she was rumored to have selected the curtains and carpet for their new residence. Stewart did very little writing after he left Hollywood but in 1955 Hepburn encouraged director David Lean to employ her old friend during the making of SUMMERTIME. Accounts vary about the extent of his contribution, but Hepburn clearly welcomed Stewart’s involvement. He understood the romantic concerns of the idle rich like few others and his sympathetic depictions of smart, difficult and complicated women defined Hepburn’s career. As a result, the screenwriter and actress remained friends until Stewart’s death in 1980 at age 85.

Rory Gimore Reading Challenge
I put it there has a reminder to myself that I want to read more (so much more). The public library will be more accessible to me when I am going to be where I’m moving this summer, so, no excuses. Even if I should really work on my art more than on my reading. Would be nice if it could help me feel less... inadequate. Somehow. Just a little.

KATHERINE JOHNSON, “La calculadora humana”.
Tumblr media
Katherine Johnson, nascuda el 26 d’agost de 1918, a White Sulphur Springs, Virgínia de l’oest, Estats Units, va ser una matemàtica excel·lent des de ben petita. Ho contava tot; els graons de les escales de l'església, les passes per creuar la carretera…
Katherine, va anar aprenent més i més, però no va poder seguir estudiant, més de 8è grau, per ser dona i afroamericana.
Però… no es va rendir!... es va traslladar (amb la seva família) a Institute, per a poder seguir estudiant. Als 14 anys ja estava graduada i amb 15 anys va continuar els seus estudis, a West Virgínia, State College, on va aconseguir els seus graus en matemàtiques i francès, a l’edat de 18 anys.
Tumblr media
Va tenir la col·laboració de molts professors.
Al 1937, la (gairebé) única opció que tenia una dona afroamericana per treballar fora de casa era dedicar-se a l'ensenyança. Va ser així com la Katharine, es va traslladar a Marion (Virgínia) a treballar de professora de matemàtiques, música i francès. 
Va ser l’única dona estudiant afroamericana seleccionada per realitzar estudis de postgrau, en la West Virgínia University de Morgantown. Però… desgraciadament, problemes familiars van impedir que Katherine pogués acabar els seus estudis.
Als anys 1950, Katherine, es va adonar que la NACA buscava dones afroamericanes, per fer feines de càlcul. Va començar a treballar a la NASA al 1958. 
Al ser experta en matemàtiques i geometria, la seva feina consistia en fer totes les operacions i comprovacions de càlcul que requieren els enginyers aeronàutics.
Era un treball silenciós que  les dones feien sense preguntar res. Però Katherine no es va conformar només fent el treball, va començar a fer preguntes, com: per a què?, perquè?, com?, per què no?. Va demanar poder assistir a les reunions, (en les quals només podien assistir homes blancs). Li van contestar que no hi podien assistir dones, ella els hi va preguntar si la llei ho prohibia, la resposta va ser: NO. Va ser així com va començar a assistir a totes les reunions.
Va ser l’encarregada de portar a terme els càlculs del projecte Mercury, va calcular la trajectòria del viatge espacial de Alan Shepard (aquest vol es va fer 23 dies després del primer vol orbital de la humanitat), la de l'Apollo 11(que va portar a l’home a la lluna), a l’Apollo 13 va passar alguna cosa inesperada i la Katharine va ajudar a salvar als astronautes fent els càlculs.
A poc a poc, es va anar guanyant el reconeixement dels seus companys. La seva nombrosa carrera com a matemàtica, científica i informàtica teòrica la va convertir en un referent a la NACA/NASA. Va deixar la NASA després de 33 anys treballant-hi, al 1986.
Al llarg del temps va guanyar molts premis, com ara la medalla presidencial de la llibertat de EEUU. També ha sigut la matemàtica de l'any (1997) i ha guanyat el Llunar orbiter Spacecraft and Operations Group Achievement Award (1967). 
Ens va deixar el 24 de febrer de 2020.

Babyface
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kenneth Brian Edmonds (born April 10, 1959), known professionally as Babyface, is an American singer, songwriter and record producer. He has written and produced over 26 number-one R&B hits throughout his career, and has won 11 Grammy Awards.
Early life
Edmonds was born on April 10, 1959, in Indianapolis, Indiana,to Marvin and Barbara Edmonds. Barbara was a production operator at a pharmaceutical plant. Edmonds, who is the fifth of six brothers (including future After 7 band members Melvin and Kevon Edmonds, the latter of whom went on to have a modestly successful solo career), attended North Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, and as a shy youth, wrote songs to express his emotions. When he was in eighth grade, Edmonds' father died of lung cancer, leaving his mother to raise her sons alone. At this stage, Edmonds became determined to have a career in music.
Music career
Edmonds later played with funk performer Bootsy Collins, who tagged him "Babyface" because of his youthful look. He also performed in the group Manchild (which had a 1977 hit "Especially for You" with band member Daryl Simmons) as a guitarist. He played keyboards in the light-funk and R&B group the Deele (which also included drummer Antonio "L.A." Reid, with whom he would later form a successful writing and producing partnership). One of his first major credits as a songwriter for outside artists came when he wrote the tune "Slow Jam" for the R&B band Midnight Star in 1983. The tune was on Midnight Star's 1983 double-platinum No Parking on the Dance Floor album, and while it never was a single, it received massive radio airplay and the song is still played on quiet storm radio stations. Babyface remained in the Deele until 1988, when both he and Reid left the group.
His album Playlist consists of eight cover songs and two original works. It was released on September 18, 2007. It was the first album on the newly re-launched Mercury Records label.
On February 4, 2014, he released a Grammy Award-winning duet album with Toni Braxton titled Love, Marriage & Divorce on Motown Records.
Other ventures
Writing and producing
In the late 1980s, he contributed to the creation of new jack swing, writing and producing music for the likes of Bobby Brown, Karyn White, Pebbles, Paula Abdul and Sheena Easton.
In 1989, Edmonds co-founded LaFace Records with Reid. Three of the label's early artists TLC, Usher, and Toni Braxton were very successful. TLC's second album CrazySexyCool, for which he wrote and produced some of the hits, became the best selling album of all time by an American girl group. Under his direction, TLC was able to sell more than 60 million albums worldwide, and a combined total of 75 million records. Toni Braxton's first two albums, Toni Braxton (1993) and Secrets (1996), for which he wrote the majority of the songs, went on to sell a combined total of over 10 million copies in America alone.
Babyface helped form the popular late-1990s R&B group Az Yet. Edmonds also helped to mold and work with some of his then-wife Tracey Edmonds' acts, such as Jon B and producer Jon-John Robinson.
Edmonds has worked with many successful performers in contemporary music. “I’m Your Baby Tonight” (1990), produced for Whitney Houston, was his first No. 1 Top 40 hit in the US. He also wrote and produced Boyz II Men's 1992 "End of the Road" and 1994 "I'll Make Love to You", both of which established records for the longest stay at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He co-wrote, co-produced, and provided backing vocals on Madonna's 1994 Bedtime Stories, which featured the seven-week No. 1 hit "Take a Bow", and shared billing with Eric Clapton on the chart-topping Grammy winner "Change the World" from the Phenomenon soundtrack. He also wrote and produced the No. 1 hit "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" for Whitney Houston as well as the rest of the critically acclaimed 10 million-selling Waiting to Exhale soundtrack in 1995, which spawned additional hits for Houston, Brandy and Mary J. Blige.
Additionally, Edmonds has produced and written music for many artists including Carole King, Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Faith Evans, Al Green, Beyoncé, Diana Ross, Sheena Easton, Toni Braxton, Michael Jackson, Michael Bolton, Paula Abdul, Eric Clapton, Pebbles, Tevin Campbell, Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston, Brandy, Mary J. Blige, Tamia, Shola Ama, 3T, Sisqó, Dru Hill, Fall Out Boy, Céline Dion, Samantha Jade, Backstreet Boys, Honeyz, Katharine McPhee, Mariah Carey, Vanessa L. Williams, Chanté Moore, En Vogue, Zendaya, Kenny G, Kristinia DeBarge, Lil Wayne, Japanese singer Ken Hirai, P!nk, Colbie Caillat, Marc Nelson, TLC, Ariana Grande, Ella Henderson, Jessica Mauboy, Xscape, K-Ci & JoJo, NSYNC, and Phil Collins among others. He received three consecutive Grammy Awards for Producer of the Year from 1995 to 1997.
Babyface was in the studio for about two years with Ashanti to produce her album The Declaration (2008).
He worked on the Lil Wayne album Tha Carter III (2008), on the Kanye West-produced "Comfortable". He also worked with R&B singer Monica for her sixth studio album Still Standing (2010).
In 2013, Babyface served as producer for Ariana Grande's debut album Yours Truly, producing the majority of her songs, including her second single, "Baby I".
In September 2014, Babyface collaborated with Barbra Streisand on her album Partners, performing a duet on the track "Evergreen" and background vocals for other album tracks.
Babyface also collaborated with Foxes on her sophomore album, All I Need (2016), producing and co-writing "Scar".
In July 2016, Babyface along with Bruce Roberts and Carole Bayer Sager helped write the song, "Stronger Together" sung by Jessica Sanchez. The song was played after Hillary Clinton's speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. The song's title is named after the slogan that the Clinton campaign uses as a show of uniting behind the Democratic nominee. The song was one of the top trending songs on Shazam that week. The song was widely perceived as positive by the listeners, and even received praise by celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian.
Acting career and film producing
In 1994, he appeared and performed on an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 entitled "Mr. Walsh Goes to Washington (Part 2)".
In the mid-1990s, Edmonds and his then-wife Tracey Edmonds expanded into the business of motion pictures, setting up Edmonds Entertainment Group and producing films such as Soul Food (1997), Josie and the Pussycats (2001), and also the soundtrack for the film The Prince of Egypt (1998), which included contributions from numerous artists, including Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. They also executive produced the BET reality series College Hill (2004-2009). Edmonds also worked with David Foster to compose "The Power of the Dream", the official song of the 1996 Summer Olympics, performed by superstar Céline Dion. Linda Thompson provided the lyrics.
Babyface also participated as a duet partner on the Fox reality show Celebrity Duets (2006).
He was portrayed by Wesley Jonathan in the 2015 Lifetime biopic Whitney and is portrayed by actor Gavin Houston in the Lifetime biopic based on Toni Braxton entitled Un-Break My Heart, which premiered on the network in early 2016.
On August 30, 2016, Babyface was revealed as one of the celebrities who will compete on season 23 of Dancing with the Stars. He was partnered with professional dancer Allison Holker. He and Holker were eliminated on the fourth week of competition and finished in 11th place along with Vanilla Ice and Witney Carson.
Soda Pop Records
Edmonds founded his record label Soda Pop Records in 2009. Since founding the label he has signed R&B icons K-Ci & JoJo, releasing their first album for the label entitled My Brother's Keeper. In 2013 Babyface secured a distribution deal with E1 Music for the label.
Personal life
Babyface married his first wife, Denise during his young adult years. In 1990, Babyface met Tracey Edmonds when she auditioned for the music video for his song "Whip Appeal". They married on September 5, 1992, and have two sons, Brandon and Dylan. On January 7, 2005, Tracey filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. In October 2005, Babyface and Tracey announced that they were ending their marriage of thirteen years.
In 2007, Babyface began dating his backup dancer Nicole "Nikki" Pantenburg (former backup dancer for and personal friend of Janet Jackson). In 2008, Babyface and Nicole welcomed a daughter. The pair married on May 17, 2014.
In 2015, Babyface donated money to the presidential campaign of Republican Senator Marco Rubio.
Legacy
In 1999, a 25-mile (40-km) stretch of Interstate 65 that runs through Indianapolis was renamed Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds Highway.
