I'm like half-joking lol But Female Rage: The Musical could totally be a rock opera though 🤔

During this game, the announcers were making a point when they were showing Taylor about how she released the life of a showgirl but she's a rockstar. They called her that like two or three times. So...rock album when?

Taylor has said wish list was inspired by Happy’s happy place. I just thought about the fact that this is a part of his happy place 👀

I've been busy this week, so I may have missed it. But did we talk about this interview? She mentions YES WHALE! 👀 That comment begins just after 9:45. Also discussion of Lover Fest. Taylor finishes the interview complementing him on his questions.

That was my thought! To me, it's reminiscent of people putting emojis next their names to reflect things about them.

Got it - that is so helpful! Thank you! I assumed she was going to prom regardless based on the way I read the story - the "So, you don't have a date for prom anymore?" read that way to me, but I can see how it could've involved older guys.

Thank you for sharing!!! This is so interesting. My high school (in the south US) & those around mine didn't have a prom for sophomores - they could be invited by juniors/seniors, but not go on their own.

Okay, so this movie's plot is WILD in relation to the TSCU. It feels *SO* relevant. I've never seen it, but I am inspired to go find it. Trigger warning for discussion of a su*cide attempt.

Plot

In 1936, Daisy Clover is a tomboy living with her eccentric mother in a ramshackle trailer in the seaside town of Angel Beach. Wishing to become an actress, Daisy submits a recorded song to studio owner Raymond Swan.

Swan signs her to a contract for five years and arranges to commit her mother to a mental institution. Daisy meets and spends time with fellow actor Wade Lewis, but Raymond fears that the romance will interrupt Daisy's career. Wade asks Daisy to marry him and the ceremony is held at Raymond's house. During the honeymoon, Wade disappears and leaves Daisy in Arizona. When Daisy returns to California, Raymond's intoxicated wife Melora reveals that she had an affair with Wade, who is bisexual. Raymond confirms Wade's secret life to Daisy and begins an affair with her.

Daisy removes her mother from the institution to a house on the beach. When her mother unexpectedly dies, Daisy suffers a nervous breakdown. Unable to work, she spends her days at home under the care of a private nurse. Impatient with Daisy's long recovery, Raymond angrily asserts that she must finish her contract and pending film. After Raymond and the nurse leave the house, Daisy attempts suicide, only to be foiled by constant interruptions.

Daisy decides to leave everything behind. Before departing the beach house, she sets the oven's gas to full power and the house explodes behind her as she walks along the beach. When a passing fisherman asks her what has happened. Daisy replies, “Someone declared war.”

OMG thank you for confirming this thought. I *felt* like her not going to her own prom was a thing I had read, but I was never bothered enough to research and find out lmao

I’m currently a west coast girlie, but I can and will travel anywhere. I am also totally down to help plan - I am involved in planning a lot of onsite training and leadership development events for work, so I think those skills could be useful!
