re: Amanda Seyfried wore a ‘prosthetic butthole’ for new movie

Posted by LaLadyinTx on 2/27/26 at 4:39 pm to saturday
There is a person on almost every set of any TV show or movie that handles "intimate" scenes. Their actual title is intimacy coordinator and their job is to figure out ways to bring the vision of the director while allowing the actors and actresses to stay within their comfort zone and the boundaries of what they agree to in their contracts. There are lots of special garments, prosthetics, angles of shooting, etc that makes all this possible.

I'm sure her contract says she won't allow nudity, but she will allow prosthetics.

re: Major new report on global trends in mental health

It is many things bullying, training your brain for the small dopamine hits, porn,news channels that are pretty much exclusively negative, social media feeds with people getting sick, people dying, fighting, yelling, crying, politics, endless prescription commercials, the ability to look up anything you are curious about such as symptoms of a disease or even if santa clause is real. The child brain is being pushed at an unnatural pace because the internet does not discrimnate


And it's not just children. Look how paranoid people have become. People don't let their junior high age kids wait alone at the bus stop anymore. I saw a comment the other day about how the changing tables were placed in bathrooms because if the door opened someone could see their baby without a diaper during that moment that the door was open. And everyone was agreeing with this women that it was awful for anyone to see them change their baby because the baby was naked for 2 minutes. With all the crime documentaries out there, people think that society in general is an unsafe place and security is the most important thing.

I think back to what my kids did in the 90s and how they waited alone for the bus and rode bikes around the neighborhood at 8-9 years old. We might be arrested for that today.

Social media has messed with minds so much! The world they see in their minds and the actual world don't match.

At least 75% positive. Emily and Tiffany are head scratchers.. Kamilla is meh.. could do without more Cirie.

The male cast they mostly nailed.. Glad Chrissy and Christian are back.

Mike White is a weird one.. he's hugely successful and doesn't need this, but he also casts Survivor people on White Lotus so I see what production is thinking.


I think Emily is pretty well liked for changing her game and having enough self awareness to realize how people saw her and even changing a lot of her behaviors. Tiffany? IDK.

I would be happy to never see Cirie again. I also hated Aubrey before and I still hate her. I just know that IRL she would rub me the wrong way. Liking Christian a lot.

I don't really have a lot of feelings for Coach or Ozzy, but it will interesting to see how their stories play out. Jenna was so stupid. Why would anyone want to be the first to throw out a name in this season?

I think I'm coming to the realization, that access to ice rinks in the South is much more limited than I understood. Places I have been just happened to have multiple rinks, but going through Google maps. That seems to be the exception to the rule


I mean I just tried to see how many ice rinks there are in Houston. In the whole entire metro area there appear to be maybe 6-8. That doesn't even cover the whole geographic area of the city.

You seemed to think that most northern kids who ice skate learn in a rink. Although I haven't lived up there, I've traveled a lot to North Dakota and Minnesota. I have a bunch of Michigan friends. Just hearing people talk, it's not uncommon for some family in the neighborhood to building a makeshift ice rink in their backyard and all the neighborhood kids play on it. This isn't like formal hockey, it's just kids playing like they might play baseball, basketball, or soccer in our neighborhoods. A lot of Olympians talk about skating in someone's yard. The winning speedskater had a dad that building a circle for him in the beginning.

In NY, NJ, Boston, etc., probably all at rinks. But the midwest...they have big yards and often seem to have ice outside.

From what I understand about college versus Olympic, Olympic gymnastics rewards attempting more difficult skills and doing them less than perfect over doing “easier” skills perfectly.

Olympic scoring would only help teams that are full of elite gymnasts. There just aren't enough of those. I think Olympic scoring would hurt NCAAs a lot!

Go to Olympic scoring and you will see girls falling all over the place. Personally, I'd rather see a super clean routine. You do the required elements and you do them very, very well. Don't do extra because it just can get deductions.

The back flip isn't hard for them and isn't worth anything point wise. Both men and women were doing this in the 80's till it was banned. They like it and people think it's impressive. That's why they do it.

re: Costa Rica - La Fortuna, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio (Recommendations Needed)

Posted by LaLadyinTx on 2/17/26 at 11:21 am to TheJunction
100%, Costa Rica has a rainy season. We went in late July and yes, it did rain on us in the mountains around La Fortuna. I wasn't ran all day stuff. It was mid day or late afternoon rains and sometimes several hours. We also didn't have massive storms. It also just isn't that horribly hot, but it is humid. Houston is hotter. We carried lightweight raincoats and hiked in the rain. It didn't prevent us from doing anything we planned. It was mostly sunny at the beach in Tamarindo.

Absolutely! My daughter LOVED her experience at Belmont. At least in healthcare, professors collaborate some between Vandy and Belmont and she had a few that were on staff at both schools. There are many in the industry who went to Belmont.

I am cognizant of the connection on this site but Livvy Dunne is the walking example of NIL not going to athletic talent. We were at my wife's college reunion (D1/P4 sport) a couple of years ago and talked to an athlete who had mixed feelings about it. For females NIL isn't going to talent but to walk-ons/ girls that can't even make the travel team.


Livvy Dunne's NIL money isn't coming from LSU. Livvy Dunne was the #1 NIL women in $$$ on day one because she has a ton of other sponsors not because she's a gymnast. She has her own sponsors because of her massive following on socials that were just waiting to be allowed to pay her when it was legal under the NCAA. Livvy isn't taking away from athletes. She's getting her own deals just like every other mega influencer out there.

I just saw this. I hope she considers Belmont as well as Vandy. They also have an excellent music program and are well known in the business. I hope y'all went to the Listening Room. I think it's a better experience than BB Cafe.

My daughter (no pics) lives in Nashville and went to Belmont PT school. She works at Vandy Med Ctr. Belmont is a really great school and their music program is top notch. I would think she should consider both. The new Belmont Performing Arts center is gorgeous. They have special concerts and performers that come in and talk with the students. They give out additional seating to regular students at Belmont. While my daughter was a student, she went to a completely acoustic Garth Brooks Q & A there. He took tons of questions from music and production students and just sat on the stage and played with his guitar. He was only supposed to be there an hour, but stayed for over 2.

I think both schools have a lot of ties with the industry.

You got great advice from Nole Man. It's all the places I would have said as well. There are plenty of opportunities and it sounds like she' not shy about promoting herself! My daughter has a few friends in the business and she mostly hears that it takes around 8-10 years unless you get really lucky.

Costa Rica was one of my favorite vacations. We didn't have time to go to Monteverde, but I really wish we had. Proyecto Asis is a great experience, expecially for kids. The Bogarin Trail in La Fortuna is really cool. It's a small, animal park that the Bogarin Brothers have curated over time. They grew up in Arenal. They have so many birds, sloths, frogs, everything. It's very small, practically in town, and cheap. It doesn't take much time so you really should go there.

Agreed. He had one sentence immediately after he walked off the ice. Two minutes later he displayed fabulous sportsmanship in conversation with the winner. Just a minute after that (not being coached up) he spoke with Andrea Joyce and said, “I blew it!” He definitely owned. He said it was mental and he was overconfident. On him for sure. But coaching allowed that as well.

I agree completely. I've been around lots of high level gymnasts and divers. The pressure when it's a single performance type thing is crazy. That's the reason you work the same program or routine over and over. You do it exactly the same every time. Changing things around is just not good. You want it to be so you don't think, you just do!
