Everyone wants to work with director @TaikaWaititihttps://t.co/dHpR7cUsn3

— GQ Magazine (@GQMagazine) November 5, 2017

Taika Waititi, a beautiful person with style, was featured in GQ as he continues to promote Thor: Ragnarok. Highlights include:

On his style:

"I love dressing up, and I think part of it is just obviously wanting some attention, but it also makes me feel very good. It makes me feel happy wearing something that's, like, just got a bit more personality, I think."

"He would sometimes have two or three outfit changes on set" — Chris Hemsworth

Growing up, my biggest dream was to be photographed for GQ. Hahahahahhaaaa NOT. I stole someone else's dream Lolz! #GQ#ThorRagnarokpic.twitter.com/GSBGnkQE6T

— Taika Waititi (@TaikaWaititi) November 5, 2017

On his pineapple outfit from Comic Con:

"A lot of people thought it was a romper, but it was a shirt and shorts … It's a bummer that a lot of people saw that outfit, because I probably won't wear it in public again."

Sorry you're not me. #godpic.twitter.com/M8tkeehbsK

— Taika Waititi (@TaikaWaititi) July 22, 2017

On hiring indigenous people:

"You'll never look at my films and crew and be able to say, you need more brown people"

Cate Blanchett on signing up for a Marvel movie to work with him, and his personality:

"I was obviously a huge fan of his previous films … I was super excited at the prospect of not only working with him but of his left-of-field loop-bag sensibility butting up against the Shakespearean earnestness of the Thor comics."

“He is a profound pedagogue—he says so himself. I felt very safe in his warm yet brutal embrace. He’s like a cross between a teddy bear and a meat grinder."

(NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, which occurs every November. During NaNoWriMo, writers seek to finish a novel, reaching a word count goal of 50k. It's not too late to get started, so if you've been procrastinating your masterpiece, procrastinate no more!)


You Bring the Distant Near by Mitali Perkins

Five girls. Three generations. One great American love story. You Bring the Distant Near explores sisterhood, first loves, friendship, and the inheritance of culture--for better or worse. Ranee, worried that her children are losing their Indian culture; Sonia, wrapped up in a forbidden biracial love affair; Tara, seeking the limelight to hide her true self; Shanti, desperately trying to make peace in the family; Anna, fighting to preserve Bengal tigers and her Bengali identity--award-winning author Mitali Perkins weaves together a sweeping story of five women at once intimately relatable and yet entirely new.


Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.

Beautifully written, Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.


First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson #1)by Darynda Jones

This whole grim reaper thing should have come with a manual.
Or a diagram of some kind.
A flow chart would have been nice.

Charley Davidson is a part-time private investigator and full-time grim reaper. Meaning, she sees dead people. Really. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (like murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely. But what does he want with Charley? And why can't she seem to resist him? And what does she have to lose by giving in?



The Beautiful Land by Alan Averill

Takahiro O’Leary has a very special job…

…working for the Axon Corporation as an explorer of parallel timelines—as many and as varied as anyone could imagine. A great gig—until information he brought back gave Axon the means to maximize profits by changing the past, present, and future of this world.

If Axon succeeds, Tak will lose Samira Moheb, the woman he has loved since high school—because her future will cease to exist. A veteran of the Iraq War suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, Samira can barely function in her everyday life, much less deal with Tak’s ravings of multiple realities. The only way to save her is for Tak to use the time travel device he “borrowed” to transport them both to an alternate timeline.

But what neither Tak nor Axon knows is that the actual inventor of the device is searching for a timeline called the Beautiful Land—and he intends to destroy every other possible present and future to find it.

The switch is thrown, and reality begins to warp—horribly. And Tak realizes that to save Sam, he must save the entire world…

The Hungry Season by T. Greenwood

It's been five years since the Mason family's holiday at the lakeside cottage in north Eastern Vermont, close to where prize-winning novelist Samuel Mason grew up. The summers that Sam, his wife, Mena, and their twins Franny and Finn spent at Lake Gormlaith were noisy, chaotic, and nearly perfect.

But since Franny's death, the Masons have been flailing, one step away from falling apart. Lake Gormlaith is Sam's last, best hope of rescuing his son from a destructive path and salvaging what's left of his family. As Sam struggles with grief, writer's block, and a looming deadline, Mena tries to repair the marital bond she once thought was unbreakable.

But even in this secluded place, the unexpected - in the form of an over-zealous fan, a surprising friendship, and a second chance - can change everything.

"Women are undervalued. When it's a $100-million-plus budget, the value for human life isn't anything." https://t.co/69Yoaf1CUL

— E! News (@enews) November 4, 2017

Megan shared some of her personal experiences working in the industry.

"Women are undervalued. Equal pay for equal work. The value for human life isn't anything. It's all about getting that shot on time so that we make our money back. People get hurt in the process."

"There are some very dark negative things that go on on set, between actors or between actors and directors—specifically to actresses—that we have to go through. There's no morality or integrity within the studio system. It's completely about greed. If there was a way to change that, I of course would."

"You can't shut down a movie set—it's $2 million a day halted—even though insurance covers it. We usually fight through the injuries. As long as your face looks OK, they don't care and they want you to keep shooting anyway."

"I think we have to be supportive of each other. It's such a patriarchal and misogynistic workplace. When I get a script, almost always when a man writes a script or produces a movie, the female roles will ultimately be in service of the male character."

Tiler debuted in Swan Lake

On 0:58 you can see her earring fly off lol.

On each of her 2 outings she had 8 curtain calls:

I'm not sure if this was her debut performance.

The other Swan Lake debut was Megan Fairchild, here's a tidbit of her performance here. Both Tiler and Megan are shorter but Peter Martins took a risk and it paid off, because both of them appreciated it more after recent life experiences (Megan was apparently the most emotionally-mature Odette, no fake pained faces a la Sara Mearns lol).

Anyway, Elizabeth Moss is producing a documentary about Tiler with Vulcan Productions:
- The project will follow Peck, New York City Ballet and other dancers as they work together to put on three performances in Ballet Now, Los Angeles.
- Peck, at just 27 years old, is the youngest woman chosen to organize this event
- The untitled documentary is said to be a "passion project" for both Moss and Allen. -
- Vulcan Productions' previous art-focused work includes STEP.
- The documentary will be directed by Steven Cantor. It is set to debut on Hulu in 2018.






Robert Fairchild to Leave New York City Ballet

Had you been thinking about making this decision for a while?

I remember a moment when, after an “American in Paris” show, my parents called me to say they had found an essay I wrote in fourth grade about Gene Kelly, and how I wanted to be like him and dance on Broadway. I had been in a ballet company for so long, I had forgotten that was my original dream.

But you work your butt off to get to New York City Ballet, and leaving isn’t a decision you can make lightly. It was a decision that took years to make. After “Oklahoma!” I got offstage and thought, I can’t imagine doing anything else right now. I think whenever there is a dream, you’ve got to jump.

You will be choreographing for “Frankenstein.” Is that part of what you want to do in the future?

I don’t want to overshoot myself. I’ve never said no to opportunities, but my main goal is performing. I am looking forward to doing more work in front of the camera. I loved playing Ted Shawn, the choreography and the period detail; there is a different skill set to be learned. I love to tell stories, so whether it’s a musical, a play, a TV show, it all excites me.

Which ballets will you most miss dancing in?

Alexei Ratmansky’s “Namouna” was one of the most special things I ever had choreographed on me. And Jerome Robbins’s “Opus 19”; you can’t hide any flaws and it pushed me on such an emotional journey. And “Duo Concertant,” which encapsulates what I love about dance and why I wanted to be in Balanchine’s company. It’s like tap dancing with ballet shoes, skimming like a stone on water.

More here

His last performance was Duo Concertant with Sterling Hytlin, his long time partner ons stage:

I haven’t posted anything yet because I was just trying to soak up all that last Sunday was. It was the best farewell I could have ever imagined. I am so grateful to all who were there and reached out sending love. I am sending it all right back to you. Super grateful and lucky and happy. #nycballet video cred: @georgina_pazcoguin

Everyone wants to work with director @TaikaWaititihttps://t.co/dHpR7cUsn3

— GQ Magazine (@GQMagazine) November 5, 2017

Taika Waititi, a beautiful person with style, was featured in GQ as he continues to promote Thor: Ragnarok. Highlights include:

On his style:

"I love dressing up, and I think part of it is just obviously wanting some attention, but it also makes me feel very good. It makes me feel happy wearing something that's, like, just got a bit more personality, I think."

"He would sometimes have two or three outfit changes on set" — Chris Hemsworth

Growing up, my biggest dream was to be photographed for GQ. Hahahahahhaaaa NOT. I stole someone else's dream Lolz! #GQ#ThorRagnarokpic.twitter.com/GSBGnkQE6T

On his pineapple outfit from Comic Con:

"A lot of people thought it was a romper, but it was a shirt and shorts … It's a bummer that a lot of people saw that outfit, because I probably won't wear it in public again."

Sorry you're not me. #godpic.twitter.com/M8tkeehbsK

On hiring indigenous people:

"You'll never look at my films and crew and be able to say, you need more brown people"

Cate Blanchett on signing up for a Marvel movie to work with him, and his personality:

"I was obviously a huge fan of his previous films … I was super excited at the prospect of not only working with him but of his left-of-field loop-bag sensibility butting up against the Shakespearean earnestness of the Thor comics."

“He is a profound pedagogue—he says so himself. I felt very safe in his warm yet brutal embrace. He’s like a cross between a teddy bear and a meat grinder."

If you paint every man w the same brush, you’re gonna run out of paint or men.@AsiaArgento

So many self-seeking liars to block, so little time....@Bourdain

— ABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) November 5, 2017

Self-confessed sexist and friend to serial sexual predator, Alec Baldwin vowed to take a twitter break yesterday, though that didn't stop him from attacking actress/director Asia Argento and her boyfriend Anthony Bourdain who have both been critical of some of his victim blaming contacts.

He is now tweeting pro-Rose McGowan and anti-James Toback, anti-Alec Baldwin tweets which leads me to believe he was hacked. 

To women and men in the industry, it would be wise of you to not promote Alec Baldwin. Fair warning. #ROSEARMYpic.twitter.com/x1I9Rti3LX

@ABFalecbaldwin How has James Toback been running around looking like a parapeligic flasher and no one called the fashion police?
