We Need to Talk About Katy Perry & The Sims
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Listen, I think I am throwing myself down some form of rabbit hole when it comes to Katy Perry and the Sims, but this is something that needs to be studied in the history books. The whole Katy Perry franchise stuff in the Sims 3 specifically feels like a fever dream, I really thought my brain had just made it up. I was watching one of those videos about celebrities and their random endorsements and how they just end up doing the most random things, like all those apps inspired by Kim Kardashian: Hollywood all those years ago. Then there was the other rabbit hole on how celebrities will just end up doing the most random things; this was a video posted by Mike's Mic which I'm going to drop below in case you want to see it all. I mean think about it,,, does anyone remember when Ariana Grande had a skin available to buy on Fortnite and when Travis Scott performed in Roblox? A literal fever dream I fear.
youtube
But Katy Perry feels like a literal social experiment to me. She went to the other side of the world in order to pump out the Sims 3 franchise with all this content heavily inspired by the California Gurls music video, but for what reason other than to be extra? I still don't know if these packs were anything more than a cash grab, but alas. Let's delve into the history of Katy working with the franchise.
The Sims 3 Showtime, the expansion pack without Katy Perry was released 6 March 2012. The expansion pack featured a brand new town to live in, new jobs that you could go along with your Sim to, and of course a bunch of new objects and outfits. It introduced the concept of being famous in the Sims franchise through being different types of performers where you could earn money through busking, attending people's homes for private performances and ultimately haggling with event managers to ask them if your Sim can perform a set at their venue. Depending on your celebrity status, it can effect if the manager will say yes or no. I know this pack like the back of my hand because I would always make my Sim become a singer and had to deal with every form of rejection for the longest time before I got my Sim up to a 4 star celebrity (and then the laptop with that save file on died so I don't remember what happened after that).
The Katy Perry collectors version of Showtime was released on the same day and included the 'Ultimate Stage' venue to perform at. The collectors edition also came with Katy Perry style objects, hairstyles, costumes and performance props all using the concept art from Katy's second studio album Teenage Dream.
Tumblr media
The trailer for the collectors expansion pack is insane by the way because it is literally just an animated version of Katy on the 'Ultimate Stage' as she ironically performs The One That Got Away which shows items from the pack and some other relationships happening. It all feels very glorified and perhaps a little bit icky. However, did I own this collectors edition pack? Of course, and I did love it.
On 5th June 2012, Katy Perry then decided to go further into the lore of The Sims and release Sweet Treats, which wasn't an expansion pack and it wasn't a stuff pack, it was just a pack. The pack featured a bunch of different types of items to the point it never went under a theme as to what type of an expansion pack that really was.
Tumblr media
Despite this pack not featuring a town, it did on the other hand feature three new venues which you could add to your Sims town. The first example is The Bonbon Lawn Park which you guessed it, is completely filled to the brim with huge cheugy pieces of candyfloss surrounding the area and gingerbread themed park items for the children to play on.
Tumblr media
Next up is Patty's Natural Baths which is also ironically the most natural looking premade lot to use for the town. It is just a public pool which is decorated with a couple of gingerbread home frames to spruce up the area a little bit. I think it's cute, it's not over the top and is more just themed with more pastel colours which I think makes the area look more inviting and exciting.
Tumblr media
Lastly, the worst building of them all. The Cake Pleasure Dome which makes me feel sick just from looking at it. The walls and floor covered in sickly colours, giant lollipops placed around the entire lot and a lot that is so spacious, but with so much empty space around it. As if the lot was not used to its full potential, the vision was there, but it gives me nothing but the ick.
Tumblr media
The outfits for the pack feel more like they are made for the expansion of Showtime, but were items that simply didn't make the cut maybe because there wasn't enough room on the disc to include it, I'm really not sure. As if that wasn't enough, but you have the choice to completely bulldoze your home and recreate it into a real walk in gingerbread house.
The pack states that there are 28 different types of clothing and hairstyles with only two of these pieces being for male Sims, perhaps this makes sense or it really doesn't. The hairstyles I kind of get, my Sims just wouldn't be slaying in the right way with giant cupcakes in their hair.
I am not kidding one bit when I say that every piece of furniture is also all ice cream, gingerbread, diabetes infused pieces and just an eyesore to the eyes, but when discussed in the context of Teenage Dream then it does start to make sense, a little bit.
Further into the lore of Katy Perry,,,
Tumblr media
The literal in game Sim of Katy Perry featured which comes with no personality traits, hot pink hair and was created just for promotional purposes in the game. It feels as though the game simply created an empty skin NPC character which someone could tweak with if they chose to do so. Studying these packs, I feel like I have come up with more questions rather than the answers. Apparently, going deep into the lore, Katy Perry has said that she loves The Sims franchise, and she did record an entire simlish cover of Hot N Cold for The Sims 2, so I do believe her but I do feel like her involvement with The Sims could have simply stopped there.
Actually no I'm lying, she even came back to record Last Friday Night in Simlish for Sims 3 too. You are so welcome.
youtube
In terms of The Sims and celebrity lore, while Katy Perry put her whole pussy and more into pushing the franchise, there are actually a ton of other celebrity endorsements and appearances in the game that I really just need to talk about at the end of this post;
The Black Eyed Peas have an ENTIRE storyline in The Urbz: Sims In The City, please don't ask why but they do. In one version of the console game, you gain yourself reputation and have Will.I.Am as your mentor to help you become the coolest person on the street, don't believe me? CallMeKevin has an entire segment about his gameplay on YouTube.
youtube
Andy Warhol has an entire NPC which is made in tribute to him in The Sims: Superstar,,,, but as it turns out the expansion pack features many tributes to different celebrities both living and dead.
The pack also featured Marilyn Monroe, Avril Lavigne and Christina Aguilera ??? I'm just as stunned as everyone else here.
Millie Bobby Brown has a Sim which can be downloaded from the gallery in The Sims 4, but she also appeared in the game as the events coordinator for the Positivity Challenge. Her Sim would give your Sim a box of kindness and you could gain more decorative rewards by being nice to your neighbours.
Tumblr media
Thanks for coming down this rabbit hole with me, I hope we all learned something new and fun today.

Ooohhh.... who to spend Easter with??? I don't really celebrate other than some candy. Buuuut I feel like each are good choices! ♡
Think Steeb and Buggy would maybe have a tradition they used to follow back in the 20s. Not sure what though. But spoiled with coloring books and a new outfit! Limit candy though so no tummy aches and teef have no cavities!
Eddies would do some extra selling to get you a big easter stuffed animal and your favorite candy. Maybe go on a walk looking for the easter bunny? Egg hunt here????
Ransom and Llyod would SPOIL you! So much candy! So many toys! Pictures with bunny in a new outfit! Ransom might get you a special outfit for a dinner with the whole family (They seem like performative religious people to me. Oops)
Steve Harrington would spoil you. But not tooooo much. Can't decide if he would get a big premade basket or if he would pick out everything himself. Maybe religious himself but doesn't force you into it.
Loki would research the holiday because he doesn't understand these Midgard traditions. But he would let you decide how to celebrate religious or bunny wise. Maybe take you to Asgard (shh.. it exists still in my mind) to celebrate a holiday there instead and treat you to the royal prince/princess ( is there a gender neutral term for royalty??) treatment!
I don't know enough about Lee to know how he would celebrate with a little. :( Sorry
I want to picture someone making a treat for the bunny the night before similar to cookies for Santa. The bunny deserves treats too! And maybe one of them does like fun bunny tracks in glitter or something?? Oh how did I forget about egg hunts??!
Anyway this is long. Sorry. Where is the button for spend the day with everyone?? Pretty please?
-♡
anon. my dearly beloved. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THIS!! i'm in awe!! i wasn't really planning on writing anything big for easter but i haven't stopped thinking about this since u sent it & fear i'm gonna be thinking about this every day until next easter hehe
don't feel bad about not getting lee...... confession time i don't actually know anything besides reading the wikipedia page & seeing gifs of him lol 😅 i just love chubby southern seb 😳😅 aww omg maybe he hides easter eggs around the police station, and maybe the night before he'll bake cupcakes with you with pastel frosting and little plastic rabbits on top & helps you take them around his office to all the other officers 🥺 yeah 🥺
pretty much every easter headcanon i have is either hiding eggs or eating candy so i really like to see your ideas too!! omg i know ransom doesn't like his family & the family doesn't like ransom (& if they were real i probably wouldnt actually like ANY of them lol) but i can just imagine a rich waspy new england family & all the pretty outfits & yummy treats & boring church services and family dinners spent squeezing his hand under the table that comes with being a spoiled little baby 🥺💕😌 and lloyd would totally hire someone kim kardashian style to dress up as the easter bunny and hang out with you at your giant mansion all day hehe! 😂🥰
eddie would totally have a confetti egg fight with you around the park, but it backfires on him because now he's pulling little paper confetti out of his curls until october 😅 but its worth it to hear your giggle as he shakes his head over you and makes it rain rainbows🥰

The Difference Between Plated And Solid Gold Grillz
Tumblr media
Grillz is a definitive dental accessory. First made well known by celebs like Flavor Flav and Nelly, gold dental accessories immediately turned into a symbol in hip-hop culture. Dental bling went on to fascinate different stars like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and even Kim Kardashian. 
Presently you can spot it wherever, from red carpet occasions to modest communities across America. In case you're looking for the best gold Grillz, you'll have two essential choices: plated Grillz or custom-fitted Grillz. While the two might appear to be comparable, they are very unique. 
In case you're looking for premade dental accessories that give you the strong Grillz search for a lower cost, gold-plated will be an ideal decision. These dental accessories are premade in one standard size intended to fit most individuals. 
They are produced using stainless steel or diamond setter's metal and afterward plated with genuine gold. By using substantial gold plating, it guarantees that your Grillz will infrequently tarnish, and they will be sufficiently tough to last quite a while. 
Plated Grillz Fitting Process 
Because the plated Grillz comes in one standard size, you will not need to establish an impression. You just buy your Grillz, and it accompanies everything you need to adjust your mouthpiece for the most agreeable fit. You'll start by cautiously bending the mouthpiece to fit the state of your teeth. Adjust the prongs until it fits easily and is cozily set up. 
Upsides And Downsides Of Plated Grillz

They are additionally much more affordable than custom-fitted gold dental Grillz. However, there are additionally a couple of downsides. With plated Grillz, you'll depend on delicate prongs to give you a protected fit. They have a higher imperfection rate than the custom-fitted styles, and they might be awkward for some depending on the size and state of your mouth. 
What Are Custom-Fitted Grillz? 
Assuming you need strong gold dental accessories that offer extreme solace, you'll need to arrange custom-fitted gold Grillz. This Grillz is made using a mold of your teeth to give you an ideal fit. Formed from strong gold, each piece is custom made, giving you a special exceptional barbecue that offers a long period of solace and style. Look over custom-fitted Grillz in 10K, 14K, and 18K gold choices. In the event that you favor white gold, you can browse 10K gold grillz  or 14K gold grillz choices. 
Custom Fitted Grillz Fitting Process 
At the point when you request your custom Grillz, you'll get everything you need to make an impression on your teeth. The interaction takes around 10 minutes, and you can enlist the assistance of a nearby dentist in the event that you don't feel certain to do it single-handedly. To establish an impression, you will blend the white and blue clay for 30 seconds.
Continue to massage it and roll it together until it mixes into one tone. Then, at that point, roll it up into a hotdog shape and spot it in the included tray. Carefully use your fingers to lift up your lip and put the plate in your mouth, pushing upwards to constrain your teeth into the clay. 
The putty must totally cover your teeth and gum line. Hold the clay plate set up for 6 minutes, and afterward, tenderly squirm it off of your teeth. Be mindful so as not to snap the mold in a downwards movement, or this could ruin your impression. 
At the point when the mold is finished, you ought to have the option to see the state of your teeth and your gum line. Place the finished molds into the pack and afterward mail it back using the prepaid shipping name and instructions that accompanied your unit. When we accept your mold, our gem specialist will make your custom-fitted unadulterated gold Grillz and afterward ship them back to you. 
Advantages and disadvantages Of Custom Fitted Grillz 
With regards to quality, there is no comparison between pre-made and custom-fitted Grillz. The custom alternative is produced using unadulterated gold. You will not need to stress over fading or tarnishing as long as you care for your Grillz. 
The custom-fitted Grillz are additionally undeniably more comfortable. Because they are intended to give a definite fit to your mouth shape and size, they give a cozy, secure fit that will not pinch or rub. The just genuine downside to custom-fitted Grillz is the greater cost tag. 
A pure gold dental accessory will cost in excess of a gold-plated alternative because it is produced using better materials. It likewise takes somewhat more to accept your Grillz when you pick a custom fit because a diamond setter makes your Grillz using the impression you made of your teeth. On average, it takes around a month from the time you request until you accept your finished custom gold Grillz.

harry potter? never heard of her. frodo? whatever. rocky? stay in philadelphia. these flops can only dream cause i got my dl folder from 11gb to 5 and lived to tell the tale. 2 things: 
a) we dont need all ages on every. fucking. hair. mesh. 
b) some outfits only make sense and look good in a limited number of colors. and by limited i dont mean 20, and by limited i dont mean 3 but with 10 shades of each. get a grip
now that that’s out of the way i had an idea for the 3rd rendition of the premade ask meme that i feel is gonna be the one to really set the community record for good will + followers lost. try this on for size: premade political opinions. continuing the tradition of doing these to avoid studying im gonna save this bad boy for when i begin the worst poli-sci paper the world has ever laid eyes on so i can really be in the zone with the horrifying takes
in the meantime now that my game doesnt take 1h to load ive been playing(!) thats right, ‘unions: return of the dead for the 6th time’ coming tn in case anyone remembers they exist (i didnt). nll update is also imminent, there’s this really depressing class where all we do is deadass read books about a) memory b) death c) memories of death. inspiring stuff. like im sitting there playing kim kardashian hollywood with one hand and writing down nll epiphanies with the other. TLDR: cc bloat situation is over and with it ends the zombie-like state of this blog. be prepared

Jell-O is finally, sensibly — can you believe it has taken this long? — engaging with the slime trend.
The company announced two edible premade slime kits today: strawberry-flavored “Unicorn” slime and lime-flavored “Monster” slime. They are jars of powder that you mix with water, a slight simplification of the more common slime processes, which (at their most basic) involve mixing school glue with Borax detergent and food coloring and have gotten only more elaborate (Glitter! Butter! Cheetos!) as slime has become an Instagram star.
Slime is basically just a gooey fidget toy, and its stardom is predicated on people filming themselves playing with it. Kids love it because kids love goop. Adults love it because, as ASMR expert Craig Richard told Wired this spring, we love hands: “We’re hardwired to be entranced by hand movements. We evolved to learn fine motor skills by watching what someone else is doing with their hands, because the benefit of that is you just might learn something.” Logically, the British fashion and culture magazine Dazed recently launched an avant-garde short film called “A satisfyingly sensual study of slime.”
Jell-O edible slime, in Unicorn flavor. Kraft
Since around the end of 2015, the slime economy has been growing steadily, with popular slime artists signing book deals and making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month by monetizing YouTube or Instagram accounts dedicated to slime DIY how-tos and slime-related ASMR videos. Elmer’s glue sales reportedly doubled in December 2016, there are currently nearly 11 million slime-tagged posts on Instagram, and you can choose from 57,000 slime-related products on Etsy (about the same as the number of Game of Thrones-related products).
In a press release, Jell-O parent-company Kraft points out, not at all incorrectly, that “Slime has become a social media phenomenon,” and “While do-it-yourself edible slime recipes are popular on Pinterest and YouTube, until today, there hasn’t been an edible slime available from a national brand.” What it doesn’t acknowledge is that slime has been on the rise for at least three years. Why did it take so long for Jell-O to figure this out?
When reached for comment, a representative from Kraft Foods said the idea first came up at Kraft in May of this year, and added, “By innovating an edible slime, JELL-O PLAY not only offers something unique in market, but also delivers a creative bonding experience that the whole family can enjoy.”
Oddly, Jell-O doesn’t bring up the fact that it has been involved in slime culture before. One of the more famous slimes in history, the slime dumped on children and children-adjacent celebrities on Nickelodeon from 1981 to modern day, has long been concocted at home by fans, and two of the more popular recipes involve lime Jell-O. (Another is just applesauce and green food coloring, which, frankly, doesn’t sound like slime. Sounds like green applesauce.)
Anyway, a two-batch jar of Jell-O slime mix costs $9.99, significantly more than the cost per DIY project. (You could, if you wanted, buy nine pounds of Borax for $22.95) So is it worth it?
According to the product description, “UNICORN SLIME IS SO MUCH FUN. The slime stretches if you pull it slowly, but snaps if you pull it apart fast. It’s firm if you squeeze it, but it can also pour and drip like a liquid!” Plus, it’s “100% EDIBLE” and “GREAT FOR PARTIES.”
Then I read the preliminary reviews for Jell-O edible slime. They were written by Amazon reviewers so prolific that they have been designated, basically, influencers and are often shipped new products early to review in advance. I’d love to profile them all individually at a later time. For now, they have a lot to say about the taste of this product:
“It was easy enough to mix up and is flavored and smells like Jell-O, but is definitely not yummy to eat. It’s sort of a flavored corn starch. My DD [darling daughter] has been making various slimes for years and she said this was a bit of a disappointment.”
“Check out Youtube videos on fun with cornstarch, then ask yourself if an artificially flavored edible version would be up your alley.”
“This is a can of powder that can be used to make two batches of ‘edible’ clay, essentially Play Doh. I put scare quotes around ‘edible’ because this stuff tastes awful. I feel bad for any kid that tries to eat it. It tasted to me like artificial strawberry sawdust vomit.”
“Gave both of us some gas and cramps and the flavor was boring to boot.”
“My kids thought it was funny to try a bite but no one took seconds.”
Edible Jell-O slime is part of the brand’s wider Jell-O Play product lineup, which also includes edible construction kits with Lego-shaped Jell-O molds and a “Jungle Cutters” kit that includes animal-shaped cookie cutters. Jell-O is, I would say, broadly on trend, given our culture’s worrisome obsession with all things “retro” and “nostalgia.” (As I say almost every morning when I rise: Jell-O is low-calorie and beautiful, so why isn’t there an Instagram-bait pop-up restaurant yet? Kim Kardashian likes it!)
As an attempt to ride the slime trend, Unicorn and Monster may be a little late and, reportedly, a little grotesque. But they are certainly smart in concept. Slime does not seem to be going away, and only finds new audiences each day, and Play-Doh has yet to capitalize on it.
