I’m starting to think too much information is—bad?
This could be said about a lot of things. Too much information could lead to finding out your husband is an axe murderer, that this bread isn’t actually gluten free, or even that your favourite celebrity supports J*hnny D*pp. But in this instance, too much information is bad when it comes to movies filming, and me seeing behind the scenes stills without any context.
You may be thinking Meech, maybe the REAL problem is you judging things before you have all the information. And that doesn’t make any sense! If God didn’t want me jumping to conclusions, he wouldn’t have sculpted me these perfect calves!
For those who follow me on Twitter you may remember a little something called the Barbie movie—I was a little more than horrified at seeing Barbie (Margot Robbie) walking around in a fringe cowboy getup, especially because at that time, we had no idea what the plot to the film even was! It was just vibes! And after we learned the plot and got a trailer, I was/am obsessed! But now, much to my chagrin, it’s happening again watching Blake Lively on the set of film adaptation of It Ends With Us.
After seeing that photo—you know my cause for concern is real. What is going ON?! Clearly someone in wardrobe hates her, and I need to find out WHO! They threw out the real clothes and have constructed a halter neck a-line midi dress out of a Trader Joe’s paper bag, haphazardly dyed her hair orange, and broke into a nursing room to steal the socks and loafers off of someone’s poor, unsuspecting grandfather.
When I first started this newsletter it was meant to be a twice weekly thing, and I find myself wanting to write more posts, but I also don’t want to crowd your inboxes.
I know the girls are loving it, but—I must admit I have not read It Ends With Us. I have not read any books by Colleen Hoover in fact, not that I have anything against her, but she reminds me of a new age Nicholas Sparks, where there is a woman put in terrible circumstances, but through the power of love, she finds a way. Am I close? I inquired as to what this book was about and I wasn’t sure if I should believe the responses.
You’re joking right?
I love Blake Lively, she IS Serena van der Woodsen, and she killed it in A Simple Favor, but what’s going on here?
You have GOT to be shitting me. Wow.
Anyway, whatever is going on in this book doesn’t give any rhyme or reason as to why she’d be dressed like this, and I have a few questions!
Question 1: What is even happening here?
Why is she wearing a Carhartt t-shirt tied in a knot? People who’ve read the book don’t describe her as quirky. Why is her hair orange? Why is she toting around a fake Valentino bag? Why, WHY, WHYYYY?
Question 2: Why is she wearing 2 pairs of pants?
What could be so urgent that she would have to wear two pairs of pants? Ugly pants at that! With a patchwork jacket? Please, my eyes, that can’t take this.
Question 3: WHAT IS GOING ON?
I—I don’t have the strength anymore.
Anyway, I’m praying that she gets started on the sequel to A Simple Favor sooner rather than later. We need THIS Blake Lively back immediately!
Also, let’s take a moment to admire how hot Justin Baldoni is. Imagine waking up to THIS every morning. Okay Blake, maybe I get it.

Don’t be tempted to read Colleen, those books are Bad. Surprise, a low budget book gets an ugly, low budget movie!
It tickles me how offended you get at terrible fashions! 🤭
