New York City Ballet principal dancer Gilbert Bolden III wore a "dress shirt" designed and made by him for the New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala on Oct 1, 2026.

A white mermaid gown with long, cuffed sleeves a collar and placket reaching all the way down to the flared skirt, resembling a men's button-up shirt. Featuring a black "tie" coiling around his back, waist and hips.

Edit: For anyone whose asking about the shoes he's wearing. I'm looking for them, but this is all I could find so far.

Has anyone else found that Dropout dramatic string music ad from YouTube? I'm trying to look for it and can't find it anywhere.

It is a commercial for Dropout streaming that was playing in between YouTube videos, but now I can't find it anywhere. It's not on Dropout's YouTube channel. It's not on their social media. It's not on YouTube when I search for it.

It's like a dramatic trailer/for your consideration ad. There's this epic rapid string or violin music playing, there are clips of Sam, Lily, Jacob, Vic, Ryan Creamer, Dimension 20...does anyone

Infinitesimal Karma (Miley Cyrus & Joan Jett x Mother Mother)

My first Rave DJ that isn't complete ass. It's not perfect but I think it works. It reminds me of something out of The Apple, but nowhere half as audacious. Whaddy'all think?

What monsters would you put in Monster's Unleashed NOW?

Off the top of my head, I'd wanna see the Giggling Green Ghosts, Sarah Ravenscroft (The Witch's Ghost, even though she actually existed), the Ghost Bear (from Wrestle Mania Mystery), the Woodsman and the Fishman (Camp Scare) realized.

Maybe even the Phantosaur, but maybe that would be too kaiju-ish. But even then why not have a kaiju in Coolsville?

While as an adult the Cyber Chase villains feel like such a random assortment outside of context, I still love the idea of bringing them back but making them "real" in some way. I feel that Monster's Unleashed did the same idea but it was better realized. The danger feels immediate and urgent, the setpieces are very zany and entertaining and the designs are so detailed and enhanced from the cartoon versions. I mean the small details that help the monsters feel tangible and eerie without being too self-serious.

Even so there were still some noticeable exclusions and now we have up to 20 years worth of Scooby-Doo monsters to add. So of Scooby-Doo's 55 year history, what monsters would you revive in Monster's Unleashed?

Does anyone know what the inspirations were behind the cast's "Hometown" promos from season 4?

According to Le Fil, the cast was asked to create a hometown look for their promos. As far as I know, only Le Fil has confirmed their inspiration, with their design being based on the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band. Black Peppa I don't think has confirmed her inspiration, but I've heard people say her pelican is a tribute to the brown pelican of St Martin. I would also assume her train is a shoutout to the bodies of water surrounding the ocean.

Has anyone more familiar with the UK recognized any other connections?

EDIT: According to comments these are the (possible/most likely) references

  • Just May is an embodiment of the Essex flag.
  • Cheddar Gorgeous is the Manchester worker bee
  • Copper Top is referencing the Neptune Fountain of Cheltenham
  • Many commenters are saying that Danny Beard is channeling the liver bird of Liverpool.
  • Starlet allegedly just wore whatever, but another commenter connected the gold to Johannesburg (her birthplace) known as the "City of gold" apparently.
  • Likewise, Dakota Schiffer just wanted to wear whatever, but apparently justified it by saying she was repping the "lavender fields of Sussex" which oddly works so much
  • Sminty Drop may be doing a take on the Pendle Witches of Lancanshire (Kyran Thrax referenced them as well in her Hometown look)
  • Jonbers Blonde may just be referencing Ireland as a whole (she's Irish, if you couldn't tell), but one commenter said that Northern Ireland was known for tweed.
  • Baby may be a reference to the London Fog
  • No one can tell what the heck Pixie Polite is referencing. One person said she's channeling the Brighton pavilion (they have at least one blue room), another said she's taking inspiration from the railings of the Brighton seafront.

[Adaptation trope] A character with little-to-nothing to work with is greatly expanded upon in the adaptation

Goldilocks. While a generic blonde girl in the original fairy tale, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish makes her an abandoned child taken into the bear family. Also they're all badasses capable of combat. Basically Goldilocks becomes Princess Mononoke, but with bears instead of wolves.

Applejack. In My Little Pony Gen 1, she was nothing but a klutzy supporting pony without much distinction besides her design. MLP: Friendship is Magic (Gen 3) not only gives Applejack main character status, but makes her a family-oriented pony with a strong work ethic, who values honesty and has a Southern accent. She also has dead parents (she inherited that Stetson hat from her father, which is also new for Gen 3).

Violet Beauregarde. In the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Book, Violet is eager about gum chewing and is said to be rude, but gets no characterization in the narrative beyond that. Every major adaptation has taken this concept and ran with it in various ways:

  • The 1971 film made her a motormouth daughter of a car salesman
  • The 2005 film made her a stoic overachiever with a stage mom whose made her hyperfocused on competition and winning.
  • The Golden Ticket opera made her an energetic Southern Toddlers in Tiaras-esque girl who chews gum so that she doesn't eat and gain weight.
  • The 2013 musical made her a L.A.-based social media prima donna whose made a huge following with her gum chewing. Additionally, the musical made her and her father black and gave them a funk/soul motif (as a black person, I approve).

Who is the best DC villain player of all time?

Asking anyone whose good with cooking: is there a way to make a Mother's Delight IRL....but make it good?

Context: in S4E8, the players were tasked to make the most exotic sandwich and then eat it in the quickest time. Joe Lycett put kumquat, a sausage roll, smoked trout, a yam, tequila, pomegranate and I believe fresh mozzarella in a blender, making a choppy/uneven spread; added cheese and maybe chorizo and arugula for additional filling; put them on a double decker of baguette bread with an Arctic Roll for some sort of garnish or to prop it up (the Roll itself had apricot for a garnish) and named the whole thing "The Mother's Delight".

While Joe said it was delicious, he also could not finish it and said during the live taping that its corners were "fucking horrible". However, I am a food terrorist and am deeply intrigued by the conflicting flavors and ideas with this sandwich. I want to make it for myself, but I also want it to be an actual sandwich with, y'know, complimentary flavors.

Does anyone who is better with cooking than me have any tips on how to approach remaking this sandwich without making it that much of a disaster.

Some notes on the ingredients:

  • He would've preferred the yam to be cooked.
  • You don't need much tequila.
  • I don't believe the Arctic Roll
  • Cumquat was also used as a garnish for the sandwich.
  • Red pesto, a spring roll and "Equadorian" dark chocolate were also on the table, but it's not apparent if he used them on the sandwich or not.

What if Amanda Lepore were the Criminologist in some version of Rocky Horror?

Just a random idea I had years ago while thinking about how they'd make a new version of Rocky Horror on film, even though this really might not ever come to fruition. I just think her sultry voice would be an interesting, different approach to the Criminologist's delivery. I especially think she'd do good in the spoken word part of "Sword of Damocles". But what are your thoughts on this potential casting?

Out of these 49 players, who would make up the ultimate DC team?

I started watching Survivor for the first time (Pearl Islands) and seeing >!Team Drake constantly win !<it made me think of DC, who the strongest players are and who would make up the most unstoppable team.

Also, while I was making all these icons, I realized how few players are skilled strategists and how much less are specialized in food and shelter.

This isn't a fresh take whatsoever, but I gotta VENT IT: The length of this season is really sinking my enthusiasm for these arcs. But they could've been GREAT!

Like, I get the appeal of doing this big-ass season and having uploads consistently through the year, but this season lacked either the ability or the narrative ambition to pull this off.

These plot points the trailer is teasing are genuinely exciting, but they feel like too long a time coming. I like the idea of Lake realizing how her moral high-horse is failing her, or Tom's loyalties frustrating the game or Fiore showing a character trait besides snark, but the impact is lessened because of how long it's taken to build to these points, if they were built upon at all. Most of these plot points were recycled over and over or stretched thin without revealing something new about the characters or uniquely challenging them. And it's not just these examples, it's also Dunia's elimination, Benji's stagnation, Rosa Maria's shaken confidence, Sam's threat status. These are intriguing ideas, but they take way too long to bake that my enjoyment of them is somewhat dampened.

I can't help but feel that this wouldn't be an issue if the season wasn't trying to work with so many characters that didn't get much development or likable fan-service moments anyway. Like, flat characters can be entertaining, but the season forgot to give flat fan-service characters anything endearing.

I'm mostly saying this on the off chance that someone at ONC is reading: please don't do a cast this big again. At least not for next season, because it's clearly not working. Hell, the only reason that Total Drama Island got through it was because it half-baked half of its cast, so don't make the same mistake RIP
