Video collage of my first Billy Idol (and Villanelle) show in Dallas (9/18/26).

As a side note, I’m a 3rd generation BFI fan and fun fact, my mom actually had “Mony Mony” played during my grandpas funeral. (Long story for another day). Anyhow, I am so grateful he’s still touring and came to Dallas a couple weeks ago. It was hands down one of my top shows EVER. Loved him sharing stories (like how he came up with Rebel Yell) and this man and his entourage truly gave their all entertaining us. Highlight was him playing Mony Mony and I was able to FaceTime my mom (she’s in a diff state and health-wise would make attending a challenge) but her face just lit up and I’ve not seen her that happy in a long time. Made my whole year to be able to give that to her on top of already having an amazing time myself as I loveeeee so many of his songs - all of which he played - so a very epic, priceless experience. 🖤

Charlie & Hilary, where are you…?

Just watched last nights episode and feel like it’s at least the third episode now where they’ve shown “coming up” clips before commercial breaks that include 10 or so seconds of Charlie & Hilary yet never ultimately show any actual storyline for them outside of the “coming up” short clips?? I get it if they’ve cut a couple from the show, but why wouldn’t they also cut their 10 sec clips? This couple looks eccentric… I want to know more!
Ps Sorry if you saw this and then it was deleted. Reddit always logs me into some anonymous account when I log in & I didn’t realize it until I posted.

Any suggestions for adding/enhancing the sparkles in a way that doesn’t significantly change it nor make it much larger?

So…I got these “twinkles/sparkles” on my bday almost 2 years ago. It’s not that I don’t like them, I actually really do. Sizing is ideal - love that I can easily hide them under a tank if I want. However, the short story behind a messy, long story is I’d like to change them up in some way. Maybe add some color and/or more twinkles or moons/stars or idk???? Open to any/all thoughts! Side note: I am a big fan of color, so it could just be they just seem real vanilla in comparison to the pops of color in my (work in-progress) backpiece. The colors just brighten my day. Included pics of the sparkles both uncovered/covered and WIP backpiece.

Always a bridesmaid… 2006 & 2026. Found my bridesmaid dress from a wedding I was in 20 years ago and couldn’t resist trying it on.

While thrifting I saw a custom bridal party tank w/ “flower girl” on the back. Made me realize I’ll never get to fulfill a dream I had as a girl to be a flower girl in someone’s wedding. That made me a little melancholy but tank was my size so bought it as a joke & also to live vicariously.

Thrift Shop

Before last week it had been a hot minute since I last went thrift shopping but i don’t ever recall seeing actual photos inside picture frames? These are a few of the several photos I discovered were actual photos inside frames being sold at my local goodwill. No details were written on the back but it made me insanely curious if this is actually a thing and if any pics of me are just hanging out in any random thrift stores out there… That thought led me here, hopefully this is the right group to post this kinda thing. Lmk if not and/or if there are other similar reddits!
