Disney channel stole an idea that me and my friend had at 14 and turned it into a wildly popular tv show. Background: we had a YouTube channel. Anne & Austin. We went to a Natasha bedingfield concert and loved the opener. Made a video about him. He was likeā€¦ not famous. But this was 2012 ok it was a different time and it happened to be the era of ā€œliving room toursā€ and musicians doing pop ups in weird places. His management reached out. They had seen our video and wanted to do a living room pop up concert with us. So they come to my house we invite the whole school. They took pictures. we Made it into the yearbook. It was cool. about a year or so later a tv show drops on Disney that sounds similar to Anne & Austin. Weird similarities in the characters to us. austin posts a fb status about it as a joke. The manager reaches out and admits that in his free time he pitches shows to Disney and nickolodeanā€¦ and that he used photos of us and our YouTube videos to pitch a show to Disney. THEY PICKED IT UP. So it WAS based on us. But we were 15 and didnt know about suing people so here we are !!! Anyway Disneyā€¦ yall owe us big time

like donā€™t get me wrong i was both best dressed AND too cool for school. and too cool for school is THEE inheritance of hot weird goth girlsā€¦but likeā€¦people were coming up to me in the hallway outraged that best dressed was sniped from me FOR WEEKS, you donā€™t understand, i was my high schoolā€™s personal lady gaga, the dean of students was my #1 opp and had a personal vendetta against me. i was nearly suspended purely for dress code violations. i was once sent home for wardrobe and came back in a sequined bodysuit and a giant floor length cloak in protest and i kept the hood up for the rest of the day. i wore a lehenga choli and knockoff giuseppe zanotti heelless heels to prom. even after high school i am to my knowledge the only person who has been asked to leave an NYU dining hall due to dress code violations. i was a known fashion icon. it was absolute robbery allie if you see this sorry for calling you a mid bitch but letā€™s be real it was too obvious, you were yearbook editor and absolutely no one was checking for your fits, they were cute but very j crew catalog. you shouldā€™ve just given yourself best smile and no one would have noticed. you flew too close to the sun with your ambition for sartorial recognition and i can forgive but it will never be forgotten

in retrospect this isnā€™t that big of a deal but i went to a very small boarding school of about 500 girls in a very small, conservative town where literally nothing happens and everyone knows everything about EVERYONE, so this was a big thing for US, but might not be for many. so there was this new girl that joined the school in grade 9, and she joined my homeroom class and was pretty nice. she was a little off beat, but for the most part everything seemed pretty okay and normal. we ironically started calling each other ā€œbest friendā€ until we eventually became friends. she was a big spender. sheā€™s buying at the tuckshop at break, after school, before school like every day. and mind you, we are boarders, most of us get a small allowance every month to go to town, to order food, buy essentials etc. i know the allowance of most people was not enough to buy from the tuckshop everyday. and i just thought damn, this girl must be rich rich. people quickly picked up on this though, and started asking her for money at the tuckshop. myself included. from grades 9-11 i used to be a tuckshop hustler (a damn good one at that!), like ask everyone for R2 until i had enough to buy a meal. but this girl would either just buy you the meal or just give out R10, R20, R50. and this id a lot of money! when business was slow iā€™d settle for a packet of chips and juice and that would come to about R8, the cheapest meal was a chip roll and that was about R13 and the most expensive was a wrap which was around R25 (if i remember correctly.) so sheā€™d just give out this money to MULTIPLE people throughout the day. i genuinely thought she was a BALLER! she had told me that she was switching schools, i donā€™t remember why, but she ended up leaving later that year. it was only AFTER she left that i heard that she used to steal peopleā€™s money. so in her hostel they used to have sleepovers on the weekends and every week it was a different room. she would (allegedly) go to these sleepovers and steal peopleā€™s money. i also found out that my class had chipped in money to buy me a gift, (birthdays were very big at our school and i had the first birthday in my class). turns out she stole it too! this is very underwhelming, but like just imagine this playing out like in an episode of derry girls yk

Finally watched Blink Twice last night. Was horrified by most of it. But also, good for her. Same thoughts on the movie Maxxxine.
