Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

While I have had my maid of honor picked out since 8th grade, I saw a silly post recently that suggested every bridesmaid have a title. Here are 15 lighthearted ones I could bestow upon other potential bridesmaids. Maid of BTS Photos Maid of Games Maid of Reassuring Me I'm Medically Fine Maid of Meme Finding Maid of Reminding Me My Wedding isn't Reality TV and Will Be Fine Maid of Child Wrangling Maid of Burying A Body (if Needed) Maid of Sparkles Maid of Any Needed Task Maid of Making Sure No One Calls Me Mrs. Husband Full Name Maid of It's for the Bride Maid of Braids Maid of Event Tweaking and Fixing Maid of Dog Wrangling Maid of Pumping Up the Dance Floor (Prompt by Lucy Wright) Photo by Taylor Gray on Unsplash

Time for bracket 1, episode 3!  Wow Morgan and Mystique are actually giving their points according to merit Wait, why are purses here? Mystique is stirring up the drama OMG! I DID NOT SEE THE PAIRING UP PART OF THIS CHALLENGE COMING! Lucky...you should say your vampire is thirsty (instead of frisky) I do think that Lucky and Mystique could pitch that their products utilize the whole corpse Moan Collins is a solid joke, Morgan Mystique is great TV I wish Dawn and Morphine had punnier names Dawn's werewolf look is amazing The gag of shaving some of Morphine's zombie scalp off was solid What I want to know is if the queens came up with their product names (cause Hello Flesh is awesome) Okay eating the jelly brain is actually grossing me out Wait, who is the caller? Did we know this bit was happening? Dawn and Morphine's sketch feels so long and while it was definitely an execution of the premise, it wasn't that funny to me TBH LUCKY'S VAMPIRE LOOK IS EVERYTHING I reall...

Back in August of 2019, I wrote "15 themes for a murder mystery party," but recently a friend challenged me to brainstorm settings for a murder mystery--so here I go (I am determined not to repeat any settings listed in the aforementioned post)! Renaissance Faire. Perhaps a joust over the hand of a fair maiden turns a tad too real? But who could've swapped the show weapon for a deadly one? Silent Zen Retreat. The peaceful silence is broken by a scream. But who decides to keep their vow of silence, treasuring it above even solving a murder? Drag Pageant. The competition was supposed to cutthroat--but not literally. Was it a jealous queen in search of the ultimate crown or was it a drag mother paving a bloody way for her drag daughter? The Senate Floor. Just before a crucial vote, the power goes out. When senators and aides fumble their phone flashlights on, they see one of their own dead on the floor, bleeding over the latest controversial bill. Tell me, is Capitol Hill w...

Sarah didn't like the look of the distant fins in the water. Sure, she was on a boat--and a very nice boat--but there was something ominous about sharks circling her. And there wasn't just her on the boat. There was her...boyfriend? Sugar daddy? Gentleman caller? Whatever his title should be, his name was Franklin and he had paid for this romantic vacation. What Franklin hadn't told her was that there would be a bunch of his other rich friends and their...girlfriends? Sugar babies? Lady callers? Was lady caller even a phrase? Sarah didn't like to think about what title Franklin described her as to his friends, so she quickly ditched this line of thinking. The champagne was real champagne--from the region of Champagne in France (Franklin's friend Pierre had reassured anyone whom he could trap into a conversation that it was, indeed, not just sparkling wine)--and it was cold. Sarah took another sip and hoped that soon she'd get enough of a buzz to carry her though...

TBH, I just needed an easy post, so I did a dive into the "May 14" Wiki page  and then did some creative Google searches. These are in chronological order because of who I am as a person. On May 14, 1796, Edward Jenner administered the first smallpox inoculation On May 14, 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition officially began On May 14, 1811, Paraguay overthrew the local Spanish administration (thus, May 14th is Paraguay's Day of Independence) On May 14, 1878, the last witchcraft trial held in the US began in Salem, MA (of course), after Lucretia Brown accused Daniel Spofford of attempting to harm her through his mental powers On May 14, 1915, the May 14 Revolt erupted in Lisbon, Portugal, and, ultimately led to the forced resignation of Manuel de Arriaga On May 14, 1935, the Constitution of the Philippines was ratified On May 14, 1944, George Lucas was born On May 14, 1953, the 1953 Milwaukee brewery strike began On May 14, 1955, eight Communist bloc count...

Season premiere! OMG I forgot that Marissa was going to give us a Say Yes to the Dress  crossover! Ah Marissa and Edward are a classic vacation fling turned into an engagement (although it does seem like, later, they did put in the time) Hey, Marissa, when you say Edward worked "entertainment" at the hotel...what does that mean? Hey, Marissa, did your kids ever meet Edward (even over video)? So, hey, Edward is allowed to do what he wants with his body...but it's odd that Marissa doesn't seem to know or have even asked why he wanted a circumcision Why if Mallorie doesn't like talking about herself is she on this show? Ah Mallorie has gone to Rasit to bring him to the US (always a nice thing IMO) Oof, I looked it up and Athens, AL is not on the coast which I think will be a bummer for Rasit Also, Marmaris, Turkey looks GORGEOUS Okay, sorry, but the video of Rasit proposing was a bit weird to me in the angle, lighting, and location Aw Mallorie and Rasit greeted each ...
