Sent from Indonesia, fabric kinda feels quite stretchy but also tight if that even makes any sense. The best way to describe the smell is like it’s been made in some sort of clinical Temu like factory - like kinda cheap mass produced low quality material plasticy smell! But my heart wants to believe it’s real and reputable sources are saying it is.
A true honour to meet them! Bucket list moment
Left it way too late I know but taking my mum to London tomorrow and she suggested Frida @ Tate but it’s sold out. Google says limited walk-ins are accepted but wondering if anyone’s successfully attempted this?
I’ll try keep this short & sweet - My introduction to Madonna was when I was around 10 or 11 years old. My dad took myself and my siblings into central London for the day and I vaguely remember driving home in the evening through an area called Bayswater (not too far from where she lives now) and ‘Borderline’ was playing on the Radio. I didn’t know who she was. Didn’t know the song; and as you can imagine I can’t even recollect if I even liked the song back then. But I must have, because a decade later I was walking through the same borough one evening and the song came on my Spotify. In fear of sounding super cringe - a wave of extreme nostalgia just engulfed me and I kinda got a bit emotional! My mind was instantly transported back to being in the car that night and hearing it for the first time. It has always been my favourite song by Madonna and I’ve absolutely rinsed it over the years but it wasn’t ‘til I just so happened to be walking through the borough one night, two decades later with the song blasting through my AirPods, that I realised why I felt so connected to it. Why I loved it so much. It was my childhood! Anyway fast forward to my 12th bday (October 2000) and my uncle bought me the ‘Music’ album as a gift. I popped it in the CD player and game over. Fan for life.
Can honestly say (again in fear of sounding soppy) it’s probably the greatest gift I’ve ever received. This album was I guess, my gay awakening of sorts. A coming of age soundtrack! It gave me so much and still does to this day honestly. Joy, confidence, escapism. Naturally I learned, listened to and gained more love for her throughout my teen years and in a way, she was a bit of a guardian angel during my “coming out the closet” era at 15 (side note - the first person I told was my uncle to which he laughed and responded “I bought you a Madonna CD at 12 years old…I already know buddy” 😂)
Anyway cut to me studying fashion in school at 16 and seeing this iconic T-shirt for the first time in a D&G ad. I saw it and thought I’ll own that shirt one day even if it’s the last thing I do! Ebay wasn’t a thing back then and internet access obviously was super limited - so buying this T-shirt second hand wasn’t even something I thought was possible. But alas, 20 years later I finally splurged and now I get to own an iconic piece of Madonna/music/fashion history. Today, my inner teen is fulfilled and tonight, my 36 year old ass is about to go out and paint the town red (or ‘Confessions ll’ pink)! 🥂
Watching big brother uk from 2001, saw this T-shirt and was instantly transported back to my childhood as I remember I wanted to buy it then. I’m almost certain it was by the brand FCUK (French connection UK) as they did many T-shirts similar to this but the internet is certain it’s the famous Fuct T-shirt. Anyone know the exact origins of this T?

I’ve wanted this T-shirt for decades but I’m wondering if anyone is able to share some info on its orgins and/or authenticity. There’s a plethora of these New York and London T-shirts being sold on various selling platforms ranging from $200 all the way up to $2000. Some with the D&G tags attached, some without. The majority of sellers have told me these were T-shirts purchased at a free concert Madonna hosted during the release of the Music album, but one seller (with the highest price point) has mentioned they purchased it from the D&G showroom, where only 2 were available to buy.
I don’t know which one to invest in, are there 2 versions, could there be fakes/bootlegs/replicas circulating the market? Any info would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks a bunch x
my makeup I did on Sky back in 2010 (? ish - i don’t remember the exact year)!
Not the prettiest I know but tastes so good!
had my phone stolen (whilst unlocked) on Sunday. all my devices from find my devices have been removed, but they were there, viewable, right before I put the phone on lost mode on Sunday. An Apple store memeber of staff seemed confused as to why they were showing on find devices before lost mode was activated but erased straight after. she suggested maybe the thief has found my passcode somehow.
I haven’t been able to access my iCloud because of the 2FA Code, as apparently when I request the code - the only device it is sent to is the phone that was stolen. i cannot obviously access iCloud until my phone number is working again.
I’m worried that the thief has had access to my iCloud and removed/deleted all content.
if this is the case, and they for whatever reason deleted everything from my recently deleted too, is there still a way of recovering the content?
they tried to purchase something on my Stock X app and have changed the delivery address to a London based address (I live in Reading) they’ve also added a new name to my account. surely theyre not stupid enough to add their own name and address to my account? Do you think the police do anything if I provide them with these details?
TIA x
I have about 4 iPhones and a MacBook pro - my new iPhone 17 pro max was just stolen but not receiving the 2 factor codes on any of my old devices. im pretty dumb with technology was there anything I needed to do in order to be able to receive this code (from this new iCloud) on my other devices? I can’t access my icloud attached to stolen phone even with my fingerprint and password.
Made a batch of brown butter choc chunk cookies (currently sitting in dough form in my fridge) went to bake them today to discover my oven has broken. Now - my greedy ass wants to find an alternate way to cook these bad boys but google and YouTube hasn’t provided much impressive content of cooking them inside say a skillet on the stove, or via a gas grill. I have a gas grill but my dumb ass doesn’t really know how to use it. Shall I freeze the dough or give the pan/skillet method a whirl?
tell me someone has a link?!
makeup artist here, grew up totally inspired by every and all things India/Indian (the colours of Holi, Diwali, the enchanting country as a whole) but predominantly inspired by makeup (Indian bridal, Bollywood etc). I’ve only ever watched one Bollywood movie - Dhoom 2 and absolutely loved it! Aishwarya Rai was a beauty inspiration of mine growing up also.
I was hoping for a few movie recs you‘d suggest for me to get stuck into. maybe some Bollywood classics and/or films similar to the Dhoom franchise?
Thanks so much!
