Aloof

 Hi Natty!  How are you feeling?  Are you excited?  As well you should be.  You're playing a woman's game now, no more 14 year olds here.  The next stop is the red carpet.  The red carpet is an exam, and you must study so you don't panic when it happens.  Start studying now for your Doctorate in Sociology: Hot Babe-ship.  This is Professor Zam here to give you some knowledge.  Study these next 2 ladies.  They have impeccable demeanor on the red carpet, and you must observe and copy them, better yet surpass them.

First is Vanessa Kirby.  I didn't know of her until yesterday.  It was her aura on the red carpet that made me notice her.  Note that she keeps her hands to her sides, and seldom places her hands on her hips.  She stands straight and seldom smiles, unless she is having a conversation.  She seems above it all, as well the red carpet is supposed to be above it all.

  Next up is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.  Rosie has a gang: Victoria's Secret.  Yes.... THAT gang.  Which means she will be the source of much misfortune.  She also keeps her hands to her sides, and seldom places them on her hips.  She is freer with a smile, probably because Jason Statham is there to beat up anybody who pisses her off.  I believe she had a baby a couple of years ago, which means she's ready to get back into action.

Know your competition, because it's damned sure that they are aware of us.  These girls are trouble, so get ready for trouble.  I wish I could be there to back you up, but it's you who people want to look at.  You will have to walk that catwalk alone, so get ready.  And it is just a catwalk, so you don't have to smile or even talk to anybody.  Put that nice girl away and put on your serious face.  I can't be there and I can't beat people up for you, but I am able to give you a spiritual reading of anyone who bugs you so we know how to deal with them inshaAllah.  So please make sure you tell me who bothers you, OK?  Once again, be smug and aloof, stand straight, keep your hands to your sides, and high heels!  You can do this, Natty!  Practice, practice, practice!

Kudos to Balenciaga for using older women as models.  This is what I like from their SPRING 2022 READY-TO-WEAR collection:

Ah, to wear a gown

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  Are you still in a girlie mood?  One day you might have to wear a gown, you know.  It doesn't matter if you ever had been in a movie, your bosses may want you there to be seen.  That means high heels, Honey.  Oh, you would look glamorous.  Especially if you felt glamorous.  I think the best approach is not to smile or pose too much, but to be as smug and aloof as possible.  Can you do it?  Of course you can!  InshaAllah.

Today isn't gown day for Mary's avatar.  Saturday is gown day.  If I remembered.

Oh how girlie

 Natty, you're dressing so girlie lately!  You're breaking my heart!  I just want to be with you.  I had to add that first photo to my slideshow.  I guess you don't feel comfortable with dressing like that all the time, that's why you feel uncomfortable is because you don't dress like that all the time.  Well, you are beautiful no matter what.  You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me.

Girlie goes around!  Mary's outfit today is:

The faces of triumph

 

Hi Natty!  Oh, they're giving away free diamond necklaces!  Just for taking a selfie with your beautiful face!  Do I get one too?  Do they have a virtual one that I can use for Mary's avatar?

It's been a busy day here for me, but at least I have more energy than I did yesterday.  Ugh, it was bloody hot yesterday.  Canada sure sounds good, but today is a little cooler here.  Alhamdulillah.  I just got done with dinner after cutting the grass.  I had some home made chicken nuggets to with "pulut udang" (grilled glutinous rice stuffed with spicy coconut shrimp).  Strange combination, but a quick meal.  I don't know if it would match your palate, but maybe you would like to try some?

Here's what I like from the Nina Ricci SPRING 2022 READY-TO-WEAR collection (I don't like the head cage thing, though):

Movie night

 Oh, so pretty!  Natty, you look gorgeous!  I love it when you dress up all girlie.  Does wearing that kind of dress embarrass you?  You look so delicious in it though.  I wish you would wear dresses like that for me more often.  The air is thick with fashion business for us, Honey.  Don't worry, I've already chosen my wife so I'm not going to chase after pretty blondes.  That weight of the world on your shoulders and its disappointments is just an illusion.  Just be patient, and pray OK!  I love you with all of my heart.

Tonight is movie night again!  Yeah, part of being a fashion magazine is that I have to do movie reviews.  Tonight it's "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021).  I want to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general.  I was a teenager on Marvel comics, and I am witness to the adaptation of the comic book stories to movies.  I'm sure many people will agree with me that Marvel has used up most of their good stuff already, and fucked up a good chunk of it (X-Men, Fantastic Four).  I can pretty much guess what climax they are heading to next after "Avengers: Endgame" (2019).  By bringing the multiverse into play, I'm guessing it's going to be a showdown like the Secret Wars.  The trouble is, a lot of Marvel superstars have retired.  Unless of course they bring them back to life (and profitability) somehow.  Does anybody have any sort of emotional connection to the newer superheroes?  I don't even feel like watching "The Eternals" (2021), I'm not familiar with any of them.  Maybe it's because I'm an old man, and kids nowadays have a different sensibility of nostalgia.  There was a lot less content when I was a kid, though.  The trouble with having a hit like "Avengers: Endgame" is that you have to beat it.  Greed.  Here I posted a video on the highest grossing movies of all time.  Keep in mind that a movie ticket in 1975 was 2.03 USD, while in 2019 it was 9.16 USD.  Oh by the way, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is a fun movie with lots of nostalgia.  If any Marvel franchise can survive the long run, it's Spider-Man.  Kind of like James Bond.

Mary did it to me again today, folks.  I was blacking out throughout her entire set.  You folks aren't sitting here having that voice in your face and bouncing around in your head at a loud volume.  I might just fall into a coma at any given moment.  Her avatar sure looked good, though:
