RuPaul's Girl Group Race; Where Everyone Wins

THIS IS SEASON 10 SPOILER FREE!!! EVERYTHING ELSE IS REFERENCED!!!

This was started before my Personal Great Depression of 2018 Part 1 began, when All Stars 3 was airing, and I'm glad I waited because the end of that season gave us one of the best musical moments in the show's history. But first, the official girl group challenge.

Dance Dance Constellations: Another Closer Post

Closer is OMG’s signature song according to ifandom on twitter and it’s for good reason. I, a Mega Huge Fan and Self Identifying Miracle, love everything they do but Closer is special in that their overhead choreo has still yet to be duplicated like this and it’s where their “fantasy-dol” image started. There’s been articles about it and these two magnificent videos, but we want to take Closer apart a bit further. If there’s one thing we’re good for around here at The Collective, it’s obsessing over girl group videos.

Tonight I'm Going to the Movies

This post contains spoilers for the book! :) I've purposely avoided movie spoilers outside trailers so you're in the clear. 

A Wrinkle in Time (1962) by Madeleine L'Engle has been made into a movie directed by Ava DuVernay and starring Storm Reid. We all know this but I am just establishing why I'm making this post. That's why, everyone. And I think that's the reason I started rereading them but honestly I'm not positive since I started so long ago. Sometimes things just tell you you need to be with them.
