It looks great! Nice work!

It only took me 28 years to catch up to seeing the now-cult favorite, #PracticalMagic. But I was more confused than wowed by it — cos it’s such a hodgepodge rom-com / horror / sci-fi flick … with a little eye-candy thrown in! 😝 Just hope the 2026 sequel is better!

Powerful words! ❤️🧡

While it wasn’t a great film, it wasn’t as bad as some have said. I think its greatest (heh) strength is its soundtrack — Pasek & Paul did a superb job and the “Reimagined” album takes it up a notch. I’m now eagerly awaiting the stage musical production! #TheGreatestShowman

The #SomeLikeItHot musical has launched a US Tour and it stops in DC next month. Really cool that it snagged 13 Tony noms (incl. for Book, Score, Lyrics, Choreography and Costumes) and won 4 of them! I missed its #Broadway run so this is my chance to make up for it. 😀 Yay or nay?

Oooh, what are the other 4 songs? ☺️

(For me, Cher is one of those artists that I’d have a terrible time ranking songs for because they have so many good ones)

That must have been a real fun road trip! It’s also 11 for me…that I’ve either lived in or visited (stayed for at least 1 night). And 15 if I count airport layovers 😂

I’m really diggin’ this dance track from Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This” S2 soundtrack. And I think it’s shifted my opinion of Selena Gomez as a singer. 😆 Granted, it’s got slick production from the guys who’ve worked with Lady Gaga, Charli XCX & The Weeknd.

Wow, yes 💯 to this!

omg 💀 I’ve always believed some things are best kept to oneself… this need to overshare online, even anonymously, is out of control. 😂

With the news that she’s retiring as a singer/performer, I dug into her music and rediscovered some real gems: Be OK, What I Wanted, Powerless, Turn Off The Light…a really solid discography! #NellyFurtado
