My life will, quite literally, never be the same.

I moved to the motorsport county for a multitude of reasons, but having Silverstone on my doorstep was at the top of the list.

The mileage counter in my beaten-up racing green Vauxhall has racked up most of it's digits on the A43 through Towcester, I can tell you the exact position of every road sign painted with a brown rectangle, a chequered flag next to the word "Silverstone". I could tell you which direction the track is in from anywhere in the world, as if it's Wing shaped roof hangs like a petrol-laden North Star. All roads lead to Silverstone, you may say (no-one has ever said this)

So, Grace, I hear you asking, how often do you go?

Never.

That is, of course, until I received an email from God herself (the Aston Martin F1 Team Marketing Analyst) informing me of my invitation to their AMR24 Launch. An invitation I very obviously accepted, after 24 hours worth of crying, screaming, and stalking said marketing analyst on LinkedIn to make sure this was not in fact some messed up kind of joke

So it's 7 in the morning, I'm doing my usual commute through the god-awful traffic hell that is Northamptonshire, only this time I'm not going straight ahead on the Silverstone Bypass, I am taking the ever elusive right turn into the brand new Aston Martin Technology Centre and being handed a visitor's pass

The first thing I notice is that they've only gone and put a bloody AMR23 (with the new livery) right in the middle of the lobby, it's covered up at this point, and I'm staring daggers through the cover just daring it to be riddled with carbon fibre underneath. AMR team members are floating around like green angels everywhere I look, shelves are adorned with this past year's trophies (I make a comment to a passing team member - "you'll need more shelves after this year", she chuckles and moves on - I try not to take this is a bad sign)

8 o'clock hits, the official launch video plays, and the cover is removed. jesus fucking christ she's green. thank fuck. I can go home now.

Oh, hang on, is that Mike Krack?

Shit it is.

Mike has a shakedown to run of course, so he doesn't hang around for too long. He's confident in this car though, they've been working on it for years, and he's sure we'll be quick out of the gate. Off he goes across the road to the garage. "Don't worry," they say, "you'll be going over to watch the cars on track too."

Sorry, can you repeat that please, I believe you just said we are going to go over to the track to watch the cars.

"Yes of course, but not before we ply you with cake and coffee, naturally, oh and also Pedro De La Rosa is here along with Jessica Hawkins. Do you want to chat to them?"

I ask Pedro where he and Fernando went to dinner last night. Somewhere in Oxford I think, I stopped listening, I was thinking about how much I would be willing to be a thir-

Anyway.

At this point no photos are allowed for the rest of the day, they are literally building the car right in front of you no you cannot put that on social media.

We're heading across the road now, along the Hamilton straight and up around Stowe, we head past the Porsche Experian Centre and I make some vague comment about Webbonso that nobody picks up on. Nevermind. We turn left just before Maggots and Becketts to head towards the pit lane, and into the Aston Martin garage.

The smell of petrol is so overwhelmingly strong and I make sure every single cell of my lungs is scarred from it. A batak machine is being set up and I joke "wouldn't it be funny if someone beat Jenson Button's world record today". Someone did, not even 5 minutes later. A wave of "get Jenson on the phone!" fills the garage.

I turn around, Stoffel Vandoorne and Felipe Drugovich are on a stage talking about how exciting it is to see the car, or at least they're trying to look excited. I'm not sure Drugo knows what that even means.

Lawrence Stroll is talking to a mechanic and I can literally hear the thousands of dollars dropping into his bank account with every heartbeat. Surely his son is nearby? Oh yes, right infront of us. Imagine that. (Lance did of course look gorgeous, his racesuit tied around his waist, laughing with his engineers like the whore he is)

We're heading over to the PU station now and the wonderful AM team member is talking us through the specifics of it, but I haven't heard a single word she has said, because unfortunately for her Fernando has decided to enter the garage at that exact moment. I am stood near a space heater, and he locks eyes on me (nope, the space heater) immediately. He makes his way over and sticks his backside directly towards the heater and my face is about as red as the radiator.

"Good morning! How are you?"

I have so many words to say to you right now, and not a single one of them is in a language that either of us can understand. I think I eventually vomitted up some form of acceptable response, however, because he smiled at me.

"Are you cold?"

"Only a little" I respond. Not anymore, I'm picturing myself under you, I think.

I totally lost a good hour after this because there's not a single memory here for me to put into words, damn you Alonso

The blur fades with the freezing air outside, and we're stood on the pitwall. Sky Sports are here now and have us doing media stuff, I run as far away from them as possible and climb onto the pitwall. FIA, if you're reading this, I promise I kept both feet on the ground at all times.

They tell us the shakedown isn't going to plan, suprise surprise, and you actually cannot see the car on track today. I mentally curl into a ball and sob the whole way back to the AMRTC but all of a sudden we are being led to mission control and the composite engineering stations and they are, literally, building a car infront of us whatthefuckishappening

By this point I have recovered from my minor sulk - Grace this is literally the best day of your life get over yourself - and then we're being told that as an apology they have hired a room in the Hilton Hotel opposite the pitlane, free food and drinks for as long as we want, oh and... cars on track. all. day. long.

Whilst writing this i received another email from biblically-accurate marketing analyst god asking for feedback. I think a string of letters indicating incessant shrieking will probably do the trick

Meet Me at the Farmers Market - 5. Stay

A Farmers Market! Joel AU x Confident! Plus Sized! F! Reader

Series Masterlist

Series Summary: What does a Contractor do in his spare time? Sell his wood carvings at the Saturday Farmers Market, of course! A Grumpy x Sunshine Joel Miller series collective of one-shots.

Chapter Rating: E, MDNI (18+)

Word Count: 1.7 K

Warnings: Smut, all of the smut, and all of the bells and whistles that come with it, Joel is an eager lover, (not so) secret lovers, Sunflower is falling deep, mentions of body image issues, relationship anxiety

Summary: Remember when Sarah mentioned on Thanksgiving about that time she caught Joel sneaking someone into the house late at night? This story takes place before pt. 4.

A/N: Hey guys, this is somewhat of a more serious one this week, as it touches upon feelings of inadequacy and body image issues that Sunflower has. As exciting as secret relationships can be, it also can bring out the ugly side of ourselves, especially when the pressure of being and looking a certain way weighs heavily on someone. I know I’ve been there, many times.

I felt like I had to mention relationship anxiety as a necessary evil but fret not - I don’t intend this series to be angsty so let’s just get over this hurdle, and I promise more Miller family hijinks next week!

The digital clock on the dashboard blinks 11:03 pm, your van discreetly parked a couple of streets away from Joel's place. Letting out a sigh, you fish your phone from your purse, firing off a quick text to Joel that you've made it and will be there in a minute.

Okay, baby. Be careful, okay? he replies instantly.

It's cold in Austin this time of the year.

The stroll from your van to Joel's is quick. You wrap your arms around yourself, hurrying along, your heart pulsing with anticipation for the night ahead.

Joel's already waiting outside, his broad silhouette against the harsh glow of the streetlamp illuminating his presence onto the pavement of his driveway. You smile instinctively at the sight of him, a nervous energy coursing through your veins in excitement. It's been a few weeks, but it still feels so new, this thing that you have with him.

You didn't imagine finding yourself in this situation, approaching your boyfriend's house and trying to stealthily navigate past his meddlesome daughter, fast asleep across the hall. It was Joel's suggestion, of course - I don't bring many women around, he mentioned one night during dinner, reaching for your hand across the table and planting the softest of kisses against your skin. I don't know how she's gonna react, you know? With her old man dating, he adds.

"... besides, I don't need her telling Tommy and he being a smug bastard about it."

You laugh to yourself at the ridiculousness of it, finding it so endearing that he worries about how his family would react to bringing another person into the fold, trying to navigate the dynamics of this new and exciting thing, so unexpected it must have come out of left field. I just want to keep you for myself for now, ok? I'm not ready to share you just yet. It emboldens you, somehow - thinking that Joel just wants you, and you alone - without the bells and whistles and the balant meddling. You try to push down the feelings of self-doubt that come with the territory of being someone's secret, the whole notion of it leaving you feeling a little dirty, your mind immediately going there, going to that place in the back of your mind where men break your heart because you're just too big, too much, all at once.

Joel's not like other men, though, you tell yourself. He would never make you feel that way, not ever.

He smiles as you approach him, his feet padding over to you as he kisses you.

"Hi, baby."

He silently motions shh as he quietly opens his front door, grabbing your hand as he tiptoes against the wood floors, your feet matching his step by step as he makes his way up the stairs, stopping as he reaches the top, his head darting towards Sarah's bedroom door, your breath caught in your throat as you wait for the all-clear. He turns his head back slightly towards you, nodding silently as he rushes to the safety of his bedroom, pulling you excitedly through the threshold, and releasing your hand as he silently closes his door behind you.

You're in his arms not a second later, his face illuminated by the moonlight streaming from his bedroom window. He tips his head, resting it against yours as he moves you, stepping side by side, a silent dance as he kisses you in the darkness of his room, his hands sliding up from your waist to your hips, traveling lower until he grasps the slope of your ass, his hands harshly squeezing as he silently groans into your mouth, the rumble of his chest so deep you feel it in your core, your underwear already soaked through.

"I missed you, baby. I missed this," he says, squeezing your ass once more.

"Bed, Joel," you reply, walking backward until your thighs hit the edge of the mattress, setting yourself down as Joel stands before you. You slowly unbutton the front of your dress, sliding the material off of your shoulders, your chest bare as you forgone a bra, knowing Joel doesn’t care for them, enjoying the weight of your heavy breasts resting on your chest. You’re left only in your lace thong, Joel licking his lips and smiling in satisfaction.

You know what to do, baby, he smiles as he peers down at you, his eyes traveling down the slope of your throat to the tops of your breasts, making his way down to the v between your thighs. "Lay back and spread those legs for me," he says, his eyes darkening. You silently nod in response, your teeth grazing your bottom lip as he looks on, his hand grabbing his length through the fabric of his pajama bottoms.

You rest your hands behind you on the bed, slowly sliding yourself back onto his sheets, your eyes locked on his as you shimmy your ass, slowly spreading your legs apart as Joel drops to his knees, his hooded eyes lowering as you present yourself to him. "Fuck, baby, you're soaked," he says in awe, glancing at you as he slowly pushes your panties aside, his fingers delicately stroking your slit. You can't help the satisfied moan that escapes your lips.

"You need to be quiet for me, ok?" He whispers against your core.

He makes quick work of removing your thong, tossing it from behind as you silently giggle, arching your back as the flat of his tongue reaches your folds. You gasp, your fingers threading through his hair, pulling it as he sucks on your clit. “Right THERE, Joel, FUCK.” You whisper - you swear you feel his smug smile on your pussy, devouring you once more as he slides in a finger, your pussy clenching it immediately as he fucks you, adding another as he increases the pace.

"Come for me, Sunflower. Come for me before I give you my cock. "

“Oh-“ you gasp, your body trembling as you begin to flutter on his fingers, Joel keeping a steady pace as he licks and sucks on your clit and your folds. You're so gone for this man it's insane - it's how he's able to make you feel things you never thought you possibly could, how easy it was to lose yourself in a man who worships you completely, regarding you like a piece of fine art in a museum. No man has ever wanted you like Joel does - unconditionally, just as you are - stretch marks and cellulite and your soft tummy be dammed. "Don't you dare change a thing, baby", he warns you. Not a damn thing.

He hooks his fingers inside of you, your mouth open as you silently scream in pleasure, your body burning and lit like a furnace, static coursing through your veins as you ride out your high against his fingers. He pulls his fingers out slowly, your slick glistening in the darkness of his room, against the moonlight that’s shining in. “Fuck baby, that was so good,” you breathe, smiling at no one as your move your body against the cold of his sheets.

Joel stands, pushing your body upwards on the bed as he settles in between your thighs, your legs spreading wider as you accommodate him. He lowers himself as he hungrily bites on a nipple, his tongue licking it to soothe the pain, his lips traveling up your chest to the length of your neck, placing wet kisses along the way.

He hurriedly pulls down his pajama bottoms, freeing his aching cock, flushed red and thick, sliding it against the wet of your slit. “You ready, baby?”

You nod as he slides himself to the hilt, gasping into his mouth as he waits for your pussy to adjust to his thickness. "Fuck, baby, how is it always this good?" He mumbles to himself as he slowly starts to move, sliding out to the tip, then sliding back in, to the base, the heaviness of his balls slapping against your ass. “You’re so deep, Joel,” grasping his arms as he fucks you, burying his face into your neck as he groans into your ear.

“Fuck, keep going, I’m going to-“

"Come with me, baby, I’m so close…"

He lifts your hips as he fucks you into the mattress, the subtle shift hitting you deep, so deep that you swear you feel it against your womb. "Fuck, Sunflower, I can’t get enough, I can’t believe you let me fuck you like this, you’re my secret… fuck, if they only knew-"

“I love being your secret, baby. I love being only yours, Joel.”

"Oh FUCK-" he whispers harshly, grasping your ass, his fingers bruising your skin as he empties himself as he comes with you, his cum hot as it fills you, your pussy choking his dick, milking him dry as he collapses on you, his breath heavy as he kisses your sternum.

You lie there with him on top of you, the heaviness of his body against yours soothing you as you both come down from your highs. You wrap your arms and legs tightly around him, trying to soak as much of him as you possibly can, the thought of having to sneak out so soon suddenly makes you feel empty - you try to ignore the sadness slowly creeping up in your mind. You don't want to leave, not yet, and it sends you into a panic, your breathing becoming erratic.

"Stay with me," Joel says suddenly, his voice cutting through your internal dialogue, looking at you endearingly as he rests his forehead against yours, a hopeful look on his face.

“What about-“

"Shh." He kisses you gently, deeply- smiling as he presses small kisses at the corners of your mouth. "I don't care if she catches us, this is my house, I can do whatever I-"

"What about you not wanting anyone to find out about us?" you tease, trailing the ridge of his nose with your fingers. "... what are we, Joel? Is this just a casual thing, or..." you try to hide the anxiety in your tone, not wanting to out yourself, not wanting to seem so desperate for his affection.

"... nothing about this is casual, Sunflower, not for me."

"Oh?" you reply, trying to hide your satisfied smile, burying your face in his chest.

"You know how crazy I am for you."

“You sure? What if I don’t wake up in time-“

"Who said anything about sleeping, baby? I intend on keeping you up all night long."

“Okay.”

“Okay?” He arches his eyebrow in question.

“Yes, Joel,” you smile as you take his face in his hands.

“I’ll stay.”

Introducing Dextra

Like many gamers, it has long been a goal of mine to develop and publish my own game, to add a minute something to the fabric of our culture, but especially to the hobby which I have enjoyed for a very long time. At long last, through a confluence of self-determination, assistance from friends, and an environment more friendly to independent publishing than any yet, the time for that dream is now. It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the my first role-playing game, Dextra.

What is Dextra? It is a very rules-light narrative-focused tabletop RPG. It is designed for players who are most interested in a game system that helps them structure telling stories, not crunching numbers and trying to figure out optimal builds. In fact, telling a good story is the only objective and "win" condition in Dextra. Even if the land is ravished, the villain escapes and the heroes perish, if the table tells a satisfying tale, the table wins.

How does Dextra play? Dextra is designed for casual players (even if they do take their stories very seriously!), and is intended to address one of the biggest problems I personally have had with tabletop gaming over the years: rules bloat and accessibility. There is only one hard rule in Dextra: every facet of the game (including contributions of the players) must be subservient to the story at hand. Between the 15 pages of basic guidelines and 65 pages of support materials, there are many recommendations of how to proceed, but you are free and encouraged to ignore any and all of them as befits your need to tell the story.

There are no lists of classes, powers, equipment and such in Dextra, no codified character abilities, spells, races or anything else. It is a game truly limited only by the imagination of the players at the table. But you need not worry about your fellow players abusing this potential to create overpowered monstrosities, because they don't make their own characters. Each player provides a name and class -- any class, from fighter to fae emissary, wizard to werewolf hunter -- and character sheets are passed around the table where everyone else gives them the attributes, powers and abilities, equipment and items, and traits and quirks that make them who they are. It's a little like Mad Libs, except instead of dubiously entertaining jibberish, you're likely to end up with something cool like an Infernal Bloodline, a Ruggedness ability score, or Spear of Lightning.

Taking actions and overcoming challenges is done using 2d6 (two six-sided dice for any newcomers out there), adding the character elements that the player feels are appropriate to their roll, and comparing it to a predetermined difficulty that the Game Master establishes for the action. GMs don't need to look up any tables; they simply estimate the difficulty of an action (assuming it is one that carries a risk of failure at all) from 1 to 10, and add 5. There are guidelines for combat, hit points, character conditions and so on if desired, but Dextra does not contain realistic or complicated battle mechanics. If that's your jam, this may not be for you.

Is Dextra free? No, it is not free. Yes, it is. Though It took nearly a year to conceive, write, edit, format and ultimately publish the game, and I believe in fair compensation for myself just as for any other writer or creator, the market spoke after release and I determined it is more important to me that people be able to play the games I create than an occasional payout. Dextra and all of my other published games are free.

Where can I get it? Dextra is currently offered at Itch.io (link provided). It should be published on DriveThruRPG (link provided) sometime within the next three days after their review and approval. It is currently only available as a digital PDF download (preparing print-on-demand copies involves some software and expertise I do not currently possess). If you wish to obtain a copy of the game and have a preference between these two sites, by all means go with that. If you have no preference, then my recommendation is Itch.io, as they not only take a smaller cut of the sale, but have more features available (such as complimentary community copies and easier means to send free codes to users).

Where can I get more information? If you have questions about the game, send me an Ask on the Dextra-RPG Tumblr account. You can also check or follow that account for occasional posts of information and to find out how you can contribute to a crowd-sourced character creation project to be offered as a free download to potential players.

Tagged by @quiet-nocturne! Thank you!! :] I love to waste time (my ass is NOT working)

are you named after anyone? My middle name, yeah! Named after my maternal grandfather who passed away before I was born. I actually don't know why my parents chose my first name--I think they just liked it

when was the last time you cried? Oh Babygirl like 20 minutes ago. I was thinking of a song that makes me emotional (not even listening to it!!!) and I had to wipe my eyes and sniffle pathetically. I'm such a crybaby it's embarrassing, I angry cry too, which is the WORST

do you have kids? No :[ but I want kids really viscerally it's kind of embarrassing

do you use sarcasm a lot? Yeah, and I'm trying to be better about using tone indicators ngjngjkdjkgnkjd

what sports do you play? Haha. I go for a walk around the neighborhood sometimes. I'd love to get back into swimming casually!

what’s the first thing you notice about people? This is maybe a weird thing to say, but their overall color palette? Like if you squint so you can only see the patterns of colors of their outfit and their skin tone/eye/hair.... Like a goddamn raptor I guess

what’s your eye color? Green. Kind of a light, very yellow-leaning green.

scary movies or happy endings? I like both!!! :] I'm really really into horror but I am also a sap and a lover and a romantic and I like happy endings.

any special talents? HAHA. Well. I used to have a really uncanny memory but my brain has been kind of fucked up lately. Do you want to learn how to do a Gram stain? I can teach you how to do a Gram stain. I'm also really good at pouring agar plates. Are these anything.

where were you born? New England -calls a drinking fountain a "bubbler" to do psychic damage to everyone around me-

what are your hobbies? Drawing and writing! I only started writing for fun in ~2022, but I've been drawing digitally since like... 2007. I also like to listen to hours long video essays on things I may or may not care about.

do you have any pets? I have a corn snake named Fion who is the nastiest corn snake I've ever met in my life and is an escape master like no other. Girl has escaped containment in my car THREE TIMES. I love her but she has cage aggression and only recently came out of a self-imposed 6 month brumation. Girl.

I had thought fleetingly about breeding her but now I know I have to keep her STANK DISPOSITION out of the gene pool.

how tall are you? 5' 3"/160cm. La Creatura height.

favorite subject in school? Biology! Microbiology specifically. My favorite courses in college were: a course called "pathogenic microbes", an independent study I did for virology, and immunology. Immunology was really tough but also really rewarding. None of the classes I took in grad school were informative or rewarding lmfao

dream job? Gremlin locked in a room doing 100 Gram stains a day. Honestly, I loved teaching my introductory microbio lab course!!! The foundations are really hands-on and it's so rewarding seeing the kids have fun and watch things click in their brain.

Either that or like... a woodworker snkfsdjsfdnkdsn I'm honestly so close to giving up on science because the job market is in shambles right now. I worked as a theatre set carpenter in college and I really loved getting to work with my hands, so maybe it's time to return to something like that

tagginnnnnnnnggggg: @phoenixfangs, @milekael, @littlewitchbee and @scienceoftheidiot (if you want, no pressure!!! Also if you see this and want to do it I'm tagging you oooo do it I dare you oooo)

did zena and poppy even have a brand? the youtube channel twitter was just full of softcore art and bad takes... their videos were marginally better but not enough

My marketing-pilled brain was never a fan of their branding. Political streamer culture is over-saturated and you need to compel and audience with your aesthetics, rhetorical skill, and consistency.

1) the name is too long. The "wholesome degenerates" thing was cringe and a terrible choice. As controversial as they are, Vaush, Hasan Piker, Keffals, Xanderhal, and more have distinct and memorable presences.

2) most of their aesthetic from the puppets to the video titles to the Digital Homicide Slaughtering Grounds stock music is a copy of Lily Orchard. Aligning your brand with a rapist pedophile is career suicide.

3) Zena contributes so little to the videos that their presence is unnecessary. It sounds harsh, but if Poppy has to spend five minutes per video explaining why her cohost isn't going to contribute to the convo, then don't have a cohost.

4) their social media is unorganized and cluttered with porn. The channel Twitter is a dumping ground for Poppy. There's too much arguing on it, which is ironic considering its Twitter, but hostility is only good for outrage marketing and short-term growth.

5) the SCP theme is unnecessary and uninspired. They are VERY lucky SCP is basically public domain. It adds no value to their brand and just reminds people of better content they could be consuming instead of PZ.

You couldn't pay me a million dollars to give them advice on what to do instead. I don't even approve of them keeping their platforms as PZ are 100% irresponsible with them.

Open Houses are back this week! Theme: Photography

Wed 3/22/2023-Thu 3/23/2023 10am-4pm each day. Free and open to all!

Want to see original artifacts from the archives but don’t know where to start? Now you can have a look! No appointment required.

Theme: Photography

The Vignellis’ archives is full of examples of photography. They partnered with photographers again and again in their designs for the artwork in posters, catalogs, and numerous monographs on nature, culture, and even photography itself. Vignelli Associates created graphic identities for photographers and photography exhibitions. We’ll display marketing photographs alongside their actual design artifacts and see for yourself how their thoughtful use of images showcased their designs. The archives contain numerous examples of photo formats from vintage Polaroids to digital images. In some cases, photography is all that survives as record of a design. Join us in highlighting the importance of photography and the Vignellis.

We will have a vintage slide projector straight from the Vignelli Associates office up and running! Stop by and see original slideshows assembled by the Vignellis’ themselves!

As always, our galleries are open to the public and feature the greatest hits of the design work of Massimo and Lella Vignelli. But for the Open Houses, our archivist will be digging deep into the archives to show you one-of-a-kind original sketches and other artifacts of the Vignelli design process. You can see the designs that you know and love, but expect many surprises even if you are a Vignelli “superfan!” Please drop in and stay for a few minutes or stay for hours.

More details about Open Houses can be found on the events page on our website: https://www.rit.edu/events/vignelli-center-open-house-1

Yvette Heiser -How to go viral with your photography?

Social media is booming and reaching its highest peak these days. These indispensable tools provide various opportunities for marketing, promotions, showcasing talents, etc. With millions of images and videos uploaded daily across various platforms, standing out from this digital noise can be an extremely daunting task. But since it is not an impossible thing to do.

With platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube boasting billions of active users, entering into these networks can significantly amplify your reach and visibility.

1. Choose the Right Platform

Platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube offer opportunities to create short, captivating videos that showcase your creative process, behind-the-scenes footage, or tutorials. By leveraging the dynamic nature of video, photographers can capture the attention of viewers and increase their chances of going viral.

3. Cultivate Authenticity

Share personal stories, insights into your creative journey, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of your photography process. By showcasing the person behind the lens, you humanize your brand and invite viewers to connect on a deeper level. Authenticity resonates with audiences and increases the likelihood of your content being shared virally. Watch Yvette Heiser Texas – New dynamics of capturing photographs to get an idea of utilizing new angles and perspectives in photography.

4. Utilize the Power of Hashtags

Hashtags are crucial in enhancing the discoverability and reach of your photography content on social media platforms. Research and utilize relevant hashtags that align with your niche, style, and target audience. Experiment with trending hashtags, location-based tags, and branded hashtags to expand your reach and attract a broader audience. Effective hashtag usage can significantly boost the visibility and virality of your posts.

5. Foster Engagement and Consistency

Post high-quality content that aligns with your brand and resonates with your audience regularly. Respond to comments, engage with other users' content, and participate in relevant communities and discussions. By fostering meaningful connections and engaging with your audience, you create a supportive community that organically shares and promotes your content.

Bottom line

While the path to viral success may be challenging, the rewards of widespread recognition and acclaim for your artistry make the journey worthwhile. With dedication, innovation, and a dash of creativity, photographers can elevate their work to viral status and make a lasting impact in the digital era.

Tell me about the red dress campaign!

I got into Anastasia in 2021 :( there's barely any fandom left and even those who write fanfiction for it don't even talk about it anymore!

Tell me everything!!!

okay so. to talk about the year two marketing campaign, we need to talk about year one first.

the year one campaign focused more on the ~journey~ aspect of the show. anya wears her iconic maroon traveling coat, facing away from the audience and generally faceless, very mysterious. who is she? where is she going? what is she looking for? it inspired questions actually relevant to the themes of the show. and, as good marketing does, it gives us just enough info to capture our attention while also leaving us wanting more.

youtube

this coat is what she wears on the posters, playbill covers, everywhere on the marquee. it's the same structure that carried onto every other production's marketing strategy. and it makes sense! because she's traveling! of course she wears a traveling coat. for her Journey.

was it a perfect strategy? no. do i get chills every time i read "rumor, legend mystery" on the marquee over our beautiful broadhurst?? absolutely.

now. year two. derek leaves in april 2018, and in may they film a new ad with the current cast.

youtube

but the whole marketing strategy completely changes as well. it now consists of basically just the Red Dress™ and digitally airbrushed christy smirking at the camera and otherwise provides very little information about what the show is actually about.

this is an aside, but i feel like i should mention that when they shot and filmed this campaign, they styled christy's actual hair. she's not wearing a wig! slay!!!!! she went live that day and zadkins did a takeover on the anastasiabway account, i remember she looked absolutely stunning and was excited as she always is.

but still. the success of your marketing strategy (or the whole show for that matter 💀) should not rest on this woman's shoulders, as lovely as she is.

so here's my beef with the Red Dress campaign: it's such a shallow interpretation of the show. even though the red dress is iconic and linda cho deserves the praise for it, i don't think it represents who anya is or what she's looking for at all. the stage version of anastasia isn't a rags to riches story, nor a princess story, not really. it's about a girl looking for who she was. home love family etc etc etc. the red dress represents a life she ultimately chose to abandon in the end! so by limiting the imagery to just this dress she wears only in the last few minutes of the show, casual audience members may interpret this show as Just Another Princess Story competing with frozen that had just opened literally across the street, and choose to not see it. which is exactly what happened.

@asecretshekept has written a lot about this and understands marketing more than i do, so feel free to browse her blog too for more detailed posts.

not to mention like,,,, the silly financial decisions behind this?? they spent so much money to replace the marquee and stage door with the faces of people who left the show like six months later?? and then they replaced the stage door AGAIN when cody arrived january 2019. so silly. they could've stuck with the generally faceless campaign of year one to avoid this issue, but. i'm not in charge.

but yeah. going from this

to this?????

downgrade of the decade fr. booooo 1/5 stars (one star for christy) 👎

#asks #Anonymous #anastasia broadway #thank u for asking!!#this is another rant i have locked and loaded at all times ashldjkfgd #but yeah out of all the things u could do with this show?? u chose this??#i will blame the downfall of my favorite musical on whoever was in charge of this marketing team #and zadkins aslhjdkf #also that new commercial is a bitch to gif and color
