The prosthetic is pretty good; the jawline and lashes were troublesome. The artist needed to add some slack to the jaw. The lashes were clearly powdered, the texture was evident. He should have used a gloss or wax over the lash powder.

Love the message too-not a fan of the execution. I was incredibly distracted by the prosthetics. There was no “twist” for me because I already knew something was up from the jump. :/

Totally. And we’re talking about it, which is good.

I feel like whoever is doing the facial prosthesis is the same person who did it for Katy’s Hillary Clinton Halloween costume and they’re kind of overrating how realistic his product looks.

I’m not sure I like the execution?

Strongly disagree. They cannot kill of Leia in some lame or off screen fashion.

There are a lot of unfair assumptions and insinuations being made given our limited information. The estate’s representatives may have initiated this negotiation, in order to simplify its execution and/or avoid future conflicts with family members. Or, as this post admirably points out, it could be that they want to…

A fortnight is one of the most common phrases here in the UK.

I find the headline misleading. When I clicked I expected it to be that FB was refusing to remove the video for whatever reason- instead it’s people sharing, which FB can’t be privy to every post. Using “can’t GET FB” to delete implies FB is actively refusing.

Fortnight’s a pretty common word in the UK, dude. Even heard it pretty frequently back in the US.

Carrie Fisher, who used to joke about how she had to pay George Lucas every time she looked in the mirror, because he owned her likeness, is laughing darkly at this somewhere and preparing to use it for her one-woman-show soon to be playing in the afterlife.

Oh Jesus no kidding, right? I lost it watching Joe trying to not lose it. The love and respect between Obama and Biden is amazing. I doubt America has ever seen anything like it in a president and vice president, and doubt we’ll ever see it again. We’ve been blessed.

You and me both. Seeing Joe Biden’s face when he realized he was getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction made me start to tear up.

On the one hand, I would literally give an organ to meet either the POTUS or FLOTUS. On the other hand, I would not want to be filmed being surprised by them. I would be ugly-crying, snot, probably coughing, having an asthma attack, a complete mess. I love them too much to meet them.

Between this and Joe Biden’s Medal of Freedom, I did a lot of surreptitious crying at my desk today.

Just a test for the switch over after the inauguration.

White women who want to broadcast their politics (in addition to actually taking action, ahem) could also just wear a t-shirt from Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Amnesty, SPLC, CAIR, BLM, NOW, NPR, DNC ... the possibilities are endless. Just anything at all besides almost literally #notallwhitewomen.

Wasn’t it the player piano that every bathroom should have?

Yes, it is a bit like Grey Gardens, only Carrie and Debbie are both completely self-aware, in on the joke, and high-functioning. So perhaps that makes it not at all like Grey Gardens. Depends what your criteria is.

I’ve realized that my greatest achievement in life is probably that Ms. Fisher once “liked” a tweet I twitted.
