All The Boys Love Mandy Lane: Manipulative Beauty
Просмотров 122 тыс.5 месяцев назад
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006/2013) starring Amber Heard encapsulates the bittersweet 2000s nostalgia that many are longing for nowadays. It’s not so much horror as a sun-kissed ode to adolescence which touches on teen cruelty and vulnerability, gender dynamics and more. It’s not an Oscar-winning movie by any means but there is definitely more to this story than meets the eye and I want to...

    I loathe Courtney Love's mother. Anyone who has been abused knows the lingo and can still hear it in her voice. She abandoned her, she claims she made up stories as a kid, she labelled her a problem child at 2 (because therapy was seen as for problem children at that time). Also, her mom thought foster care and treatment centers were better than being a mom to her and keeping her in New Zealand. In short, fuck her. She was a shitty, selfish, neglectful (possibly abusive) mom who never has recognized her faults. She would rather have her kid in FOSTER CARE than let her come home.

    This is exactly the reason I didn't enter into the modeling and entertainment business. I had 3 top agencies who signed me for print work, music videos, tv commercials. I went to Tokyo to do a Vespa commercial since my nordic look was in demand there. When there, I had to deal with seediness and superficiality as well as to ward off many men in power with underlying intentions which made me cringe. After that I felt like a piece of meat during auditions and many of the models ( myself included )were offered a first class ticket to go stay with the billionaire Sultan Of Brunai where we would get paid as many girls reported up to 1 million dollars for 3 days if he picked to spend the night with you and more including lavish gifts and a lengthier stay. It was not long after this that I quit because it is not a wholesome strait forward business for an authentically genuine lifestyle.

    Live Through This was on constant rotation when I was in my late teens/early twenties. Then I discovered Pretty on the Inside and was delighted to find it to be a strong album too. Not to mention the influence performers like Courtney had on my outlook... and fashion. Now that I am older I have found that my favourite music eras were in the late 70's and 80's but at the time the 90's stuff really spoke to me and it was a good time for female musicians to take centre stage

Each person is knowingly or not on a spiritual journey of development! Occult practices infect many aspects of history. The artfulness of GAMES psychological psychopathic narcissistic manipulating abuses on many levels of paid actors/gangs exempt from consequences of genocidal crimes and breaking laws in California and beyond since the 1800s probably prior! Seemingly, truthfulness is unwelcome in the circus of facades where denial as a cure becomes impossible! Women and dark skin marched for provisions of humanity in the 1800s. Yet the Watts riots 9.6 miles of terrorist violence that ended prior to my house between drug dealers and Indian community village was called war of colors rather than march to reinstate religious history removed from public schools! The boys from the village would throw rocks at me daily on my walk home from school! Then I was told Morongo could shoot me in the head on television without consequences! Life is a trippy journey in which perceptions matter. Seemingly more important than what is realistic/truthful!

    If anyone has read Nancy Spungen’s mother Deborah Spungen’s book about her daughter, it is chilling the similarities between Nancy’s childhood and Courtney’s. No wonder Nancy was a style inspiration and Courtney went for the Nancy audition in the Sid and Nancy film. Nancy has schizophrenia and was harmful to herself and others, so there are some differences, but the nightmares, sedatives, scary drawings and erratic behaviour is very similar. Also when Nancy and Courtney both became young adults they both turned to being groupies and stripping for money, and both did heroin. Also Courtney being passed from home to home? No wonder she bonded with Kurt so much, I bet there was a bit of trauma bonding because Kurt had the exact same experience being a child that nobody wanted to take care of and his adhd affecting his behaviour. I feel sorry for them.

    I love your videos so much!! I just wanted to say: for the past months you've been my favorite account on youtube. Your opinions and analyses are always in depth, interesting, and most of all: unique! I can sense certain influences, but it's so refreshing to actually hear a nuanced opinion instead of the same girlblogger tumblr or radfem stuff I usually hear when it comes to the topics you talk about. I've watched all of your videos so far, some twice, because they are all very entertaining and leave me with a lot of food for thought! Also, I shouldn't say watched, because most of them I've converted to my mp3 and I've listened to like a podcast, since they are just as entertaining without video! Right now I'm studying for an exam, and I opened youtube to find an explanation-video on recursive formulas (yaaaaawn I'm getting off track here) and saw this video of yours recommended (apparently I missed it 3 weeks ago). I realized how excited I was about it and I just placed it in my watch later list as a little treat for when I finish my last exam tomorrow! All I want to say is: I hope you don't stop making videos! I've never been so excited about a youtube account, and your videos are one of a kind because they are the only ones I've come across so far that I can listen to even when tired/bored, but simultaneously are also not making me feel like my brain is literally rotting because I'm watching 4-second attention span-decreasing ungodly cocomelon-esque videos. Instead, I always feel like I am learning new things, and new perspectives. Also it makes me feel more free in being a woman somehow? Like discovering different intriguing (jesus I hope I fucking spelled this right) parts of womanhood? But that may be me reading into it and that's a whole different story. Anyway to conclude the near research essay this comment has become thank you for your videos you have a sick accent and voice and are super cool! + Also apologies if this has spelling or grammar mistakes I'm from Europa 🕺🕺
