My NEW R.I.P. at the Rodeo Murder Mystery Game

Here’s a closer look at my NEW immersive Hunt A Killer murder mystery game: R.I.P. at the Rodeo. Investigate the evidence, solve puzzles, decipher codes & find clues to figure out who killed a famous rodeo clown.

Suspects include a talented Escaramuza trick rider, shady rodeo promoter, beautiful rodeo queen, angry judge, jealous rodeo clown, shifty veterinarian & more. 🤠 🤡 💀

I created this game in honor of my uncle Rex Bugbee, who was a legendary pro-rodeo cowboy who sadly passed away recently. I like to think he’d get a kick out of this game. ❤️

Why is the song called 'Bohemian Rhapsody'?

Why does it last exactly 5 minutes and 55 seconds?

What is this song really about?

Why did the Queen movie premiere on October 31?

The movie premiered on October 31 because the single was first heard on October 31, 1975. It's titled that way because a 'Rhapsody' is a free-form musical piece composed of different parts and themes that seem unrelated to each other.

The word 'rhapsody' comes from Greek and means 'assembled parts of a song.'

The word 'bohemian' refers to a region in the Czech Republic called Bohemia, where Faust, the protagonist of Goethe's work of the same name, was born. In Goethe's work, Faust was an elderly and intelligent man who knew everything except the mystery of life. Unable to comprehend it, he decides to poison himself.

At that moment, church bells ring, and he goes outside. When he returns to his room, he finds a dog that transforms into a kind of man. It's the devil, Mephistopheles. He promises Faust a full life without misery in exchange for his soul. Faust agrees, rejuvenates, and becomes arrogant. He meets Gretchen and has a child. His wife and child die. Faust travels through time and space and feels powerful. When he becomes old again, he feels miserable once more. Since he didn't break the pact with the devil, angels contend for his soul.

This work is essential to understanding 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'

The song is about Freddie Mercury himself. Being a rhapsody, it has 7 different parts:

1st and 2nd acts - A Capella

3rd act - Ballad

4th act - Guitar solo

5th act - Opera

6th act - Rock

7th act - 'Coda' or final act

The song talks about a poor boy questioning if this life is real or if his distorted imagination is living another reality. He says that even if he stops living, the wind will keep blowing without his existence. So, he makes a deal with the devil and sells his soul.

Upon making this decision, he rushes to tell his mother and says...

"Mama, I just killed a man, put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Threw my life away. If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters..."

The man he kills is himself, Freddie Mercury.

If he doesn't fulfill the pact with the devil, he will die immediately.

He says goodbye to his loved ones, and his mother breaks into tears, tears and desperate crying that comes from Brian May's guitar notes. Freddie, terrified, cries out, "Mama, I don't want to die," and the operatic part begins. Freddie finds himself in an astral plane where he sees himself: "I see a little silhouetto of a man"... "Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?"

Scaramouche is an "escaramuza," a skirmish between armies with horseback riders (4 horsemen of the Apocalypse of evil fighting against the forces of good for Freddie's soul), and he continues, saying, "Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me."

This phrase appears in the Bible, specifically in Job 37 when it says, "the thunder and lightning frighten me: my heart pounds in my chest." Seeing his son so scared by the decision he has made, Freddie's mother begs to save him from the pact with Mephistopheles. "He's just a poor boy..." "Spare him his life from this monstrosity." "Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?" Her pleas are heard, and angels descend to battle the forces of evil. "Bismillah" (an Arabic word meaning "In the name of God") is the first word in the holy book of Muslims, the Quran. So, God Himself appears and shouts, "We will not let you go."

In the face of such a confrontation between good and evil, Freddie fears for his mother's life and says, "Mama mia, mama mia, let me go." They shout again from the sky that they won't abandon him, and Freddie cries, "No, no, no, no, no," and says, "Beelzebub (the Lord of Darkness) has a devil put aside for me." Freddie pays homage here to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Sebastian Bach when he sings... "Figaro, Magnifico," referring to Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," considered the greatest opera of all time, and to Bach's "Magnificat."

The operatic part ends, and the rockier part bursts in. The devil, angry and betrayed by Freddie not keeping the pact, says, "So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? So you think you can love me and leave me to die?"

It's chilling how the Lord of Evil feels powerless against a human being, against repentance and love.

Having lost the battle, the devil departs, and we reach the final act or 'coda' where Freddie is free, and that feeling comforts him. The gong that closes the song sounds. The gong is an instrument used in China and East Asian cultures to heal people under the influence of evil spirits.

It lasts for 5:55 minutes. Freddie liked astrology, and in numerology, 555 is associated with death, not physical but spiritual, the end of something where angels will safeguard you. 555 is related to God and the divine, an ending that will lead to a new beginning.

And the song plays on Halloween eve for the first time. A holiday called 'Samhain' by the Celts to celebrate the transition and opening to the other world.

The Celts believed that the world of the living and the dead were closely connected, and on the Day of the Dead, both worlds would unite, allowing spirits to cross over.

Nothing in 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is coincidental.

Everything is carefully crafted and has a meaning that goes beyond being just a song.

It has been voted worldwide as the greatest song of all time.

--- personally speaking I really do think that track is a work of art! No, I do!! It's 'classic' & is up on top of the list of PERFECT music tracks, no matter what type of music it is!

Did Dior get it right? This author argues that the answer is yes-ish:

“But because Maria Grazia Chiuri, the designer, sensitized to the risks (Dior itself got into some trouble last year for an ad campaign that featured Jennifer Lawrence in a collection inspired by Mexico’s female escaramuza riders), bent herself practically double to integrate African artisanship into her work and give the credit it deserves, so the majority of the collection was a series of dialogues.

First, between two traditions of handwork: couture and wax print, as realized by Uniwax, a studio/atelier from the Ivory Coast whose custom-made reinterpretations of 15 classic Dior prints (toile de Jouy, Tarot) were used on cotton grown, spun, woven and printed in Africa as well as reinterpreted in silk jacquards. And second, between the tropes of Dior (Bar jackets, the New Look) and the way they could be interpreted not just by Ms. Chiuri but also by her collaborators — the African-American painter Mickalene Thomas, the Jamaican-British designer Grace Wales Bonner and the Ivory Coast-based designer Pathé Ouedraogo, famous for the shirts he made for Nelson Mandela, all of whom also contributed their own looks.”

It seems that they got it about as right as they could, given that it’s a luxury brand. They employed local producers, had a notably diverse cast of models on the runway, gave credit where credit was due. From here, it becomes a matter of whether or not people think that white people should wear African prints. And my basic view is the same as always: don’t tell people what they can and can’t do based on the color of their skin.

Jennifer Lawrence and Dior are being accused of ripping off Mexican culture

Jennifer Lawrence and Dior are being accused of ripping off Mexican culture

Jennifer Lawrence and Dior are in the news for all the wrong reasons. Scratch that, for one reason: cultural appropriation. The actress is the new face of the fashion house's latest collection. So why is that problematic? Dior's collection is entirely inspired by Mexican culture. To be more specific, the pieces in the line are heavily influenced by escaramuza charra.

To give you some backstory, escaramuza is a Mexican sport, almost like a rodeo, which features a group of women (usually 10 to 16) on horseback. They choreograph dance routines with their horses, which makes for a one-of-a-kind experience. Most consider escaramuza attire a form of art, similar to ballet folklorico, so it's not surprising that Dior would be enamored by it.

The problem with Lawrence being the face of this specific collection is obvious: She's not Mexican (or Latina for that matter). This collection directly takes silhouettes, patterns, and designs that are so ingrained in Mexican culture that Lawrence's casting has struck a chord in the Mexican community. If anything, it's sad that Dior didn't cast a Mexican artist (whether an actress, singer, or model) as the face of their new collection.

It's not like the fashion house hasn't thought to highlight Mexican women before. Back in May, Dior's creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri (who is Italian) presented the collection in a respectful way: Remezcla reports that the fashion house flew in an eight-woman team from Mexico who each wore the latest pieces from the collection. As models walked down the runway, they rode in unison. It's sad that the brand would make an effort to highlight these women during their show but forget about them during the ad campaigns.

In a behind-the-scenes video posted to Instagram, Dior shared Lawrence's experience shooting the campaign. The actress said:

“One of the main inspirations of this collection is the traditional women riders of Mexico. I'm really excited that this collection is looking at and celebrating these women's heritage through such a modern lens.”

Many people on social media quickly pointed out the cultural appropriation, and the thoughtlessness of Lawrence's comments.

Well this is super fucked up! This collection was inspired by 'women riders in Mexico' but is faced by Jennifer Lawrence and the shoot took place in California.....for real @Dior ????? https://t.co/7U5WMHHEk2

how many marketing meetings did the @Dior team go through before deciding Jennifer Lawrence was the best face for a “modern Mexican” inspired line

Even 2 Dope Queens actress Phoebe Robinson took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the brand's blatant cultural appropriation:

“#Dior & #JenniferLawrence wanna celebrate traditional Mexican women riders thru a 'modern lens'…by having a rich white woman named Jennifer be the face of this campaign? And like they couldn't think of a better landscape to shoot than in California?! “Hmm, I dunno, maybe…like…shoot…in…Mexico…with…a…Mexican…actress like Salma Hayek, Karla Souza, Jessica Alba, Selena Gomez, Eva Longoria, or many others. But I guess they were all unavailable, so you had to go with Jennifer Lawrence.”

Bro...I don't believe it! Totally merching! www(.)allure(.)com/story/dior-backstage-makeup-collection-launch

 MM make up artist was Daniel Martin

https://www.glamour.com/story/meghan-markle-makeup-artist-daniel-martin-royal-wedding-look

BRF should get her money back, 12k sterling? 

As Kensington Palace announced on Saturday, the look was created by renowned makeup artist Daniel Martin, a surprise to those who believed the rumors Meghan would be doing her own bridal makeup, like Kate Middleton, but not to those familiar with Martin's work. Repped by The Wall Group, he got his start with the legendary Pat McGrath, and went on to land contracts as a Dior brand ambassador and Honest Beauty's creative color consultant. He's worked with celebrities including Chrissy Teigen, Jessica Alba, Elisabeth Moss—and, of course, Meghan, whom he met during her Suits days.

She may have signed a contract with them

Looking glowy and serene (maybe it was the weird mouth massages) as millions watched, Meghan Markle married Prince Harry on Saturday at Winsdor Castle in a simple Givenchy gown and messy bun(her favorite hairstyle), and lots of lashes. While rumors swirled that she might do her own makeup, Markle opted for a professional and trusted her friend Daniel Martin for the big day.

As Prince Harry and the world gazed on, Markle wore natural tones that prettily defined her features and didn’t hide her freckles. Her makeup didn’t look spackled on, but she did a rich brown eye, a “my lips but better” lip color, and lots of lashes. As with pretty much everything relating to the royal family, the details of what specific products she used are a secret. But, since we know Martin is a Dior brand ambassador, he probably used a good mix of the brand’s products.

UPDATE (June 7, 2018): Red carpet events must be nerve-wracking enough, being photographed from all angles no matter what unflattering lighting you may stumble into. Now make that a wedding — a royal wedding no less — and those stakes just escalated sharply. Dior Beauty's Backstage Face and Body Foundation has yet to be released (June 15 is the date, so it's coming up soon) but it's probably run the gamut of foundation-testing rigors that no other foundations have before.

Case in point, according to Dior Beauty's Creative and Image Director of Dior Makeup Peter Philips, this is the foundation that Daniel Martin used on Meghan Markle for the royal wedding. Pretty risky to use a prototype beauty product for what is quite possibly the most-photographed wedding in the world, but Martin has worked with Dior Beauty before so it's entirely likely he wouldn't have used it on the now-Duchess had he doubted its performance.

At a Dior Beauty event this morning showcasing the Dior Backstage Collection, Philips remarked that the Backstage Face and Body Foundation had also been tested in very hot weather ("40 degrees Celsius") and in the pouring rain ("and the foundation still resisted") during Dior's 2019 Cruise Show, earning the moniker "runway proof," according to him. However, if photos from the royal wedding are any evidence, the foundation's ability to withstand punishing weather was an impressive perk on top of its elegant finish that showcased Markle's trademark freckles beautifully.

The foundation's waterproof liquid formula has a luminous finish that can be sheered out for lighter coverage or layered for fuller coverage — but either way, the skin looks radiantly dewy and natural. Offering 40 shades across six different undertone variations (warm, neutral, cool, cool rosy, peach, and warm peach), Backstage Face and Body Foundation makes shade-matching easy for even the most foundation-phobic.

This post first appeared on May 29, 2018:

Nothing about the Dior's Cruise 2019 show was subtle: The venue (a chateau in Chantilly, France complete with grandiose castle and what are quite possibly the largest horse stables in Europe); the opening act (Escaramuzas, who are female rodeo riders from Mexico that inspired designer Maria Grazia Chiuri); the weather (sweltering hot during the day and a deluge right as the show was about to start, resulting in the models stomping down the runway through the rain); and last but not least, the massive makeup collection that they dropped backstage.

Sure, the makeup on the models' faces was restrained — "It's a very natural look: beautiful skin, strong eyebrows for a bit of intensity, a bit of glow," makeup artist and Dior Makeup creative director, Peter Philips said backstage. But the Dior Makeup Backstage Collection that Philips used to create the look is probably the most extensive assortment of products the brand has launched at one time in nearly 10 years. There's a new foundation that comes in 40 shades, palettes for the eyes, face, lips, and brows, and a promise of new brushes sometime in August. And luckily, I was backstage to get all the details.

While the line is inspired by Philips' experience backstage, it is 100 percent meant for the everyday person. Don't think of this as a professional line (although, I'm sure pros will love it). "They're meant to be easy-to-wear products that are no-brainers to use," Philips said, going on to say that he developed the products with the hope that they would be so intuitive, it would be like a makeup artist was standing behind you as you did your makeup in the morning. "I want to offer products for which you don't need a masterclass to use — this is more of a basic beautifying range."

The desire for ease extends to the packaging, too. "All of the packaging is clear so you can see exactly what you're grabbing," explained Philips, something that is both helpful to a makeup artist running around on set and you rummaging through the never-ending black hole that is your purse. ckick onl link if you really want to read more
