Casual Screaming About Stephanie J. Block

Stephanie J. Block, one of my queens. Give her a crown just for existing.
She has been nominated for two Tony Awards. One in 2013 for her role in The Mystery of Edwin Drood and one in 2017 for her role in the 2016 revival of Falsettos.
Her role as Trina in the Falsettos revival is how I fell in love with her. The woman is unbelievably talented. I am a huge fan of Hadley Frasier who performed in The Pirate Queen with Stephanie and they was the first time I ever heard of her, but I never paid her much attention. I didn't even realize that she was the same woman until a few months ago I was saving photos of her on my phone for my Instagram and saw photos of her and Hadley and I remembered seeing the same photos, years ago. I actually remember posting a photo of her and Hadley on Instagram with a caption along he lines of "wish I was her". Something like that.

Which is funny because she is one of my heroes now. She is just amazing. This isn't an elaborate "I fell in love with her years ago and the love was rekindled" like it has been with some other people I am fans of so it won't be a long post. With Stephanie, I became a fan in January when I first got into Falsettos. And I have followed her since. Really bummed that she lost her Tony this year, but what can I do?
Think of this post more as a casual screaming about SJB and appreciating her beauty and talent. If you are not familiar with her, of course I am going to include some videos of her performances. She is amazing.

This is from this years MisCast. She performed "What Is It About Her" from Wild Party, which was originally done by Brian d'Arcy James and she does amazing. After I saw this performance, I became obsessed with this version and Brian's. Don't worry, I'm planning to write a post about Brian soon. Sit tight.
Stephanie performing "Holding to the Ground" from Falsettos:
Her performance of "I'm Breaking Down" also from Falsettos:
She is a queen. Crown her and put her on her throne.

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
