Propaganda
Eartha Kitt (Anna Lucasta, St. Louis Blues)—My friend and I have a saying: NOBODY is Eartha Kitt. A thousand have tried, and they've all come up empty and will continue to do so. Everyone knows her for something: from "Santa Baby" to Yzma in Emperor's New Groove to Catwoman to making Lady Bird Johnson cry for the Vietnam War. She was a master of comedy and sex, an extremely vocal activist, and she aged like fine wine... I honestly don't know what I can say about her that hasn't already been said, so I'll stick to linking all my propaganda. Like what else do you want from me. She was iconic at everything she ever did. Literally name another. How can anyone even think of her and not want to absolutely drown?
Hedy Lamarr (Samson and Delilah, Ziegfeld Girl)—Look. I'm sure someone has already submitted Hedy Lamarr because she was spectacularly beautiful, and a very strong lady too: she fled both an abusive marriage AND nazi persecution at a very young age and rebuilt a life for herself pursuing her love for acting all on her own!! Her career as an actress was stellar; while she began acting outside of Hollywood (her very first movie, Ecstasy, won a prize at the Venice Film Festival), she conquered American hearts very quickly with her first movie in the US, Algiers, and then just kept getting better and better. If all this isn't enough, she was also an inventor: her invention of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio transmission technique forms the base of bluetooth and has a lot of applications in all kinds of communication technologies. I think that deserves a prize, don't you?
This is the final poll of the Hot & Vintage Movie Women Tournament. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
THIS POLL LASTS FOR 24 HOURS.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Eartha Kitt:
"A hot vintage woman who was not just known for her voice, beauty, poise, and presence, but also her unapologetic ways of speaking about how she was mistreated in the show business as a girl who grew up on cotton fields in South Carolina in the 1930s through the 1940s coming to Broadway first and then Hollywood."
"Have you watched her sing?? Have you seen her face?? Have you heard her talk?? How could you not fall instantly in love. She makes me incoherent with how hot she is."
"She can ACT she can SING she can speak FOUR LANGUAGES she is a GODDESS!!! Although she is (rightfully) remembered for her singing, TV appearances (Catwoman my beloved), and later film roles, her early appearances in film are no less impressive or noteworthy!! She’s an amazing actress with so much charisma in every role. She was also blacklisted from Hollywood for 10 years for criticizing the Johnson administration/Vietnam War, so. Iconic. Also Orson Welles apparently called her “the most exciting woman in the world.”
"She had such a stunning, remarkable appearance, like she could tear you to shreds with just a glance- but the most undeniable part of her hotness was her voice, and it makes sense that it's what most people nowadays know her for. Nothing encapsulates the sheer magnetism of her singing better than this clip of her and Nat King Cole in St. Louis Blues, she pops in at 2:49. Also I know it's post-1970 but her song that was cut from Emperor's New Groove is likely to make you feel Feelings."
"Even with as racist as Hollywood was in the 1950s and 60s, Eartha Kitt STILL managed to have a thriving career. She also once had a threesome with Paul Newman and James Dean, and called out LBJ over the Vietnam War so hard that it made First Lady Johnson cry. Eartha Kitt was talented, sexy, and a total badass activist."
Hedy Lamarr:
"The only person you can find both on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in the Inventor's Hall of Fame--her radio-frequency-hopping technology forms the basis for cordless phones, wi-fi, and a dozen other aspects of modern life. She was also passionate in her efforts to aid the Allies in WWII (unsurprising for a Jewish-Austrian Emigree to America), and her name served as the backbone for one of the best running jokes in what is possibly Mel Brooks' best movie. Look, Louis B. Mayer apparently believed he could plausibly promote her as "The world's most beautiful woman". Is an entire website full of people going to be less audacious than one Louis B. Mayer? I didn't think so!"
"Described as "Hedy has the most incredible personal sophistication. She knows the peculiarly European art of being womanly; she knows what men want in a beautiful woman, what attracts them, and she forces herself to be these things. She has magnetism with warmth, something that neither Dietrich nor Garbo has managed to achieve" by Howard Sharpe, she managed to escape her controlling husband (and Nazi Germany) by a) Disguising as her maid and fleeing to Paris or b) Convincing the husband to let her wear all of her jewelry to a dinner, only to disappear afterwards. Also she was particularly clever and helped develop Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (I can't really explain it but anyway...)"
"Her depiction of Delilah and Samson and Delilah just lives rent free in my head. The woman was gorgeous."
"One of the most beautiful women ever in film, spoken by many critics and fans. Beautiful shapely figure, deeper seductive voice, and often played femme fatale roles. She was also brilliant and an inventor. Mainly self-taught, she invested her spare time, including on set between takes, in designing and drafting inventions, which included an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a flavored carbonated drink, and much more."
"Gorgeous and brilliant pioneer of modern technology and the middle part."

The women who laid the foundation of tech
EDIT: I noticed that this post ended up being reblogged by terfs. If you're transphobic this post is not for you to reblog. I want to celebrate everyone who is not a cis man in this industry, including trans women and nonbinary people in tech, and it was my mistake to only include cis women in this post when there are so many trans women and nonbinary people who have done great things in tech as well. Trans women are women and just as important.
Here you can read about trans ppl in tech, and please do:
https://www.thecodingspace.com/blog/2022-03-01-six-trans-programmers-who-shattered-the-lavender-ceiling/
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/transgender-tech-visibility-obstacles-remain/story?id=76374628
The morning of women's day i attended a super inspiring seminar about being a woman in tech at a large tech company in my city, and now I'm inspired to share what I learned with all of you!
I didn't have time to finish this post on women's day, but it's not too late to post now: every day is a day to celebrate women!
Women actually laid the foundation for a lot of the tech industry.
For example, the first computer, ENIAC, was programmed completely by women! While men were the behind the scenes engineers, it was women who did all the actual programming of ENIAC.
The women who made up the team responsible for programming it were called Jean Bartik, Kay McNulty, Betty Holberton, Marlyn Wescoff, Frances V. Spence and Ruth Teitelbaum.
I think one woman who is finally getting her overdue recognition is Ada Lovelace. She was a mathematician (also often referred to as the first programmer) who created the first algorithm in 1842, which wasn't recognized until 1953! However, since none of her machines were ever completed it was never tested in practice during her time.
She has since been celebrated by giants such as google, and she has given name to a programming language (Ada). She was also the first person to write about what is today known as AI. Back when she was practicing, computers were simply thought of as calculators. But she had an idea that if computers can understand numbers, then that can be translated to letters, and in turn that can lead to computers being able to handle words, and eventually even write, draw and create music.
Hedy Lamarr was a famous Hollywood actress in the 40's, but she was also an inventor who laid ground for what we use today for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS services.
During WW2 she wanted to contribute positviely to the military efforts against the Nazis, and she tried to figure out how to radio control torpedoes. In 1942 she patented her technology "Secret Communications System", also known as frequency hopping, which laid the foundation for the technology we use today for Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. It wasn't until 1962 that it was first used for its intended purpose, during the cuban missile crisis.
Grace Hopper invented the first compiler, called A-0, in 1955, and was also part of the Univac team, which was the company also responsible for building ENIAC. She also initiated work on the COBOL programming language.
She was also the one to coin the term "bug" in 1947. Computers back then had lights to visualize their working process (which was also a womans idea to implement btw) and bugs would be attracted to the lights, but usually that was no issue - until a bug made its way into a tube which caused the computer to stop working. Hopper taped the bug to a piece of paper and logged what caused the crash - a bug.
Dorothy Vaughan (left), alongside colleagues such as Katherine Johnson (middle) and Mary Jackson (right), was a mathematician at NASA (called NACA when she started) who worked on the orbit for the first ever manned spaceflight and later also on Apollo 11 that would take humanity to the moon!
When Vaughan started at what was then called NACA, segregation was still prevalent in the US and she was not allowed in the same areas in the office as her white colleagues. Another department was formed for the black staff, and when the director of said department unexpectedly died, she was appointed as the new director and thus became the first ever black woman at that position at NACA/NASA. In 1958 when NACA becomes NASA segregation is forbidden, and that is when Vaughan and her colleagues Johnson and Jackson started working on programming the orbit and later also Apollo 11.
Continuing on the same track of NASA and space, Margaret Hamilton was the Apollo project's first actual programmer. Hamilton became the director of software engineering at NASA in 1965, and she was also the person to first coin the term !
In the image above, she stands next to all the handwritten code that was used to send humanity to the moon. During the early stages of the project when she would speak of "sofware engineering", software development was not taken as seriously as other forms of engineering, and it wasn't regarded as a science, either. She wanted to legitimize software development as an engineering discipline, and overtime the term "software engineering" gained the same respect as any other technical discipline.
And lastly, if you're a woman in STEM, I want to highlight and celebrate you! Being a woman in a male dominated industry is not easy, we often suffer from sterotype threat and are not seen as our own individuals, but rather "the woman" in a room full of men. But just as these women, I'm sure you will achieve greatness!!

Samurai’s Head
Hahaha I don’t have ideas for title of this fanfics and I hope you enjoy it.
Pairing: Melissa Schemmenti x Female Reader
Warning: None, mention about mental health problem and depression
*********************************************************
Faint buzzing of your phone awaken you from your own thoughts. You were wondering who calls at this hour of day and as you settle down, finding that sweet sitting spot before you drove away from the hospital parking lot, you picked up your phone and was surprised seeing the caller id. “Hello Ms. Howard, how may I help you” you said. You hear the familiar semi disappointed sigh and you chuckled knowingly, assuming what her response would be. “ Y/N, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Barbara? We’ve known each other for a few years now, we had discussed many things, we had gossiped behind Melissa’s back…” You laughed, listening patiently to her rambling “Oh ohh I know what you did, why do I fall for this all the time, you just like listening to me talking about all of the reasons that you should call me Barbara..” You immediately cut her on the track, “ Hahaha you’re rambling again, I’m sorry Barb, I like teasing you. It’s been a while since we last had our sipping tea session. What can I help you with” you then proceed to connect your phone to your car bluetooth as you were ready to start driving “Well, the thing is Melissa is having a hard time these days and I couldn’t convince her to go home. I know only you could counter that stubborn head of her and bring her home.” Barbara said in a concern tone. Ever since you’ve known and dated Melissa, Barbara have been there. She’s been her best friend, being in the education field together for years, she’s practically Melissa’s family. In fact, Barbara was the first colleague, well technically the only colleague she introduced you to. And you know if Barbara couldn’t convince your girlfriend it means serious business. “Thank you for calling me Barb, my shift just ended, I’ll pick her up on my way home.” “Well good then, ohh and just a heads up, a samurai’s head was decapitated today on the hands of that girlfriend of yours.” You said goodbye and keeping in mind the last sentence from her.
*************************************************
Driving in silence with your favourite songs playing in the background, you hummed quietly trying to calm your nerves, you realised how you’ve been unconsciously gritting your teeth and releasing your jaw feels so comforting at the sight of the school. For some unknown reasons you are a bit anxious and deep down you know why. After years of being together, you know how stubborn Melissa is and how she would always like to be the strong one and you just hope what you have prepared would loosen her a bit. You parked in front of the entrance and was thankful when you caught the sight of Mr Johnson. “I know, I know, you don’t have to say a word. You’re lucky I was still around or you wouldn’t be able to get inside.” You smiled wide at him. “Aww, Mr Johnson, I am forever indebted to your favour.” You replied. You thanked Mr Johnson and immediately went inside to find your girlfriend.
“Knocked, knocked.” You said as you lean on the doorframe to Melissa’s classroom. You noticed how she jumped a bit, clearly she was distracted with her thoughts . “Y/N, what are you doing here.” She said with a soft smile on her face with of course a bit of suspicion. “I want to surprise my girlfriend who I have not seen in a week.” You replied as you walked in. Melissa gave you that knowing stares “Well, I know your schedule, your shift just ended and you would usually surprise me at my house and also how do you know I’m here? The last I checked in on you was hours ago, and you seems a bit prepared like you know I’m here and I know you, you would called a couple time if you don’t find me at home in this hour.” In your head, you are mind blown, you are once again impressed at her. “Hahaha, honey I know I can’t keep anything from you. Barbara called and told me you were here and you refused to go home and she also said a samurai was killed today.” She smirked knowing the power she had with her deductions skill and you noticed she was serious again. “Barbara, you mean Ms Howard? How does she knows your number and you called each other now?” You can’t help but laugh. “Unknown to me, someone here trust me enough to put me as their emergency contact which I am touched, and I guess at one point she blurted it out to Barbara and gave her my number. Safe to say we are iMessage buddies now.” You can see her face soften at the information and you caught a hint of blush on her cheek. You closed your distance and pulled her in a tight hug. “I missed you baby” you said and you felt she melted in your embrace. Both of you stayed in each other arms for a while, both needing the contact and she pulled away to give you a kiss. Melissa rest her forehead on yours and you can’t help but smile. “I am here to bring you home and before you argue, I came with weapons to seduce you to agree with me.” You revealed your large tote bag to her, which gain you a chuckle from Melissa. “Here is a bouquet of roses for my sweet girlfriend and don’t be impressed yet, I also bought you this.” As you hand her the flowers, you brought out a bottle of pinot grigio and a small glass. She laughed at the sight of the wine bottle, “Wow, this is why I love you. You bought me a whole bottle.” You were proud of yourself, and you earned yourself another kiss from her. “And of course the wine is not complete without Angelo’s margherita pizza your favourite but if you want it you have to come home with me.” You know your offer was too hard to resist, Melissa nodded, pack her stuff and you walked to your car eagerly with your hand intertwined.
*************************************************
The ride to her house was filled with laughter, Melissa’s hand not leaving your thigh, her other hand holding the glass you brought along as she sipped her wine leisurely. You purposefully took the long way home because you know she loves night drives like you do, you shared all the things that happened to you in the hospital, how tough it is being an intern, she fed you pizza, you kissed her hand, it was amazing you almost wish you could drive on and on till dawn but you know she needed the comfort of her bed. Upon arriving to her house, you stopped her before she went out and open the car door for her. You picked up her things, helped her with her house keys and motion her in to sit on her well known plastic covered couch. “You just sit here, relax, let me take off your shoe and wait still while I fill your bathtub. I brought my special calming lavender blend that you love so you can soaked those stress away.” You squeeze her hand and as you were about to get up, she pulled you back to her. “No hon, I don’t think I want a soak today, l’ll have a quick hot shower and get to bed. I’m so so tired I just want to sleep.” You smiled softly at her, gave her a quick peck and took her upstairs to her room. Everything is familiar in her house, you moved swiftly finding her nightgown and you know she was exhausted when she just let you do your things. “Take a shower with me, I don’t want to be alone.” You nodded.
*************************************************
You lie silently in her bed with Melissa’s head resting on your chest. You can sense from her breathing, her controlled fingers running on your arms that she’s still tense. “I know you always want to be the strong one but you don’t have to with me. Let me be strong for you too. You can let go, you can curse, I would even let you bite me hahaha” Melissa looked up from your chest, “I know that, but you’re having a hard time yourself, you’re an intern with hours and hours of shift and I do not want to burden your mind with my problems.” You looked deep into her eyes, you can feel the tears coming but you have to hold it in. Despite the hard shell exterior, Melissa is a softie through and through. Ever since you confessed about your depression, you noticed how she would belittle her own problem, saying it’s nothing because she seen you at your worst moment and you felt bad for that. “Melissa my love, I am strong you know, am I not your girlfriend? I learn from the best and please don’t say that it’s nothing just because of me. All of us have our struggles and I want to help you with yours and I’m sorry..” You realised you couldn’t continue because you know you would cry so you just embraced her. Both of you stay in that comfortable silence, “I’m here for you, always Melissa, it’s okay to be vulnerable with me.” “I know, I underestimate your strength and thank you honey.” You felt how slowly her hard tense body melts in your arms and you were relieved by it. You decided to shower her with kisses, starting with her forehead, going down to the tip of her nose, the corner of her lips purposefully teasing her then you went down and gave a kiss on the junction in between her neck and shoulder and finally giving in and gave her the awaited kiss on the lips. Both of you settle in, with you being the big spoon, (most of the time it was her) with your lips resting on her head and you smile to yourself at the familiarity of the dance of her fingers on your tummy, a habit of her when she was about to fall asleep. “You know, I’m still not over about this thing you and Barbara have. I’m pretty sure you girls talk a lot of dirt about me behind my back now that you are iMessage buddies.” You laughed wholeheartedly at her statement and was content with that moment because you know she was okay.

I'm going to a furry con this month to see friends and my ongoing project for the con is to see how many Bluetooth audio devices I can hijack and play fun enjoyable music (Residents, Beefheart, Shaggs, Daniel Johnson, Cardiacs, Wesley Willis, Einstürzende Neubauten, etc) over the typical furry music that is quite bad. Maybe meet some people who enjoy these things.

← epilogue - part two →
────────────
It had been a long road trip for Sofia Johnson, the younger sister of erik johnson. She had spent the week alone in Jamie's house that he shared with Trevor just because she didn't want to go back to the dorms. Simply putting, she couldn't. Sofia had barely been able to get in and out of bed to use the washroom which was ten feet from her side of the bed. She felt sick, she felt like nothing she did was helping. Her body felt weak, her legs were in pain 24/7, her mobility had been shot. She was confused and terrified at the same time. No body had really been able to get ahold of her the past week, just because it came on so sudden. She thought she was just sick, but no. Sofia did not realize that it was much more than that, her body was breaking down in front of her very eyes. Her body was turning against her, and she had no idea. She felt the familiar buzz of her phone, signagling that Erik was again- trying to get ahold of his little sister. She groaned, pulling the comforter over her face even more, trying to keep the brightness her phone was showcasing. She sighed, sliding the answer button across the phone. "Hmmmmm." She groaned, barely being able to speak. "Christ, you are one hard lady to get ahold of. You had all of us terrified. Bout to come out there myself." Erik said pinching his nose. She began to rub her legs up and down, trying to get the tremors in her legs to stop. She stayed quiet for a few seconds before crying out. She was exhausted and clearly frutrated, not understanding why the pain and tremors would not stop. "Is everything ok Sofia?" Her older brother,beginning to worry. She mouthed the words no, hoping the words word come out. "No." She breathed, sobbing some more. "Is Jamie there? Did he do something? Are you hurt?" He questioned, beginning to ramble. The tired girl shook her head, sending a bolt of pain throughout her body. "Sofia, please talk to me." He said beginning to text Jamie. "I- I can't Er- Erik.” she let out as she paused the rubbing of her hands on her legs. "Please- please help-" She said before passing out.
Erik screamed for his sister to respond before signaling his fiance to call 911 to the house she was at. He cursed himself as he hung up on Sofia and called Jamie who should of landed - according to his ability to text. "Hey bro-" Erik cut him off, "Get to the house fast- no get to the OC hospital. Jackie called 911, something is wrong with Sofia." Erik explained and Jamie freaked. He took off in a fast jog to get to his and Trevors' car, who was confused. "Let's go, something is wrong with Sofia!" He yelled and that was enough for Trevor to book it. "What do you mean something is wrong?" Jamie asked as the bluetooth connected to the car. Erik sighed, heartbeat racing as he tried to calm himself. "I don't know, J. She passed out while I was on the phone with her. Finally, getting ahold of her. Fuck." He muttered as Jackie tried to comfort him. "We are close, ill call you once I find out something." Jamie said before hanging up on him. "Our neighbors are texting me, saying that the ambulance left 5 minutes ago." Trevor stated, peering over at Jamie. Jamie nodded, getting onto I-5. Jamie's heart broke over not knowing why Sofia was on her way to the hospital. It broke his heart and stressed beyond belief that nobody could get ahold of her the past week. At first he thought she was just really stressed and busy with school work, but that proved to be wrong.
Sofia woke up in the hospital bed, unsure why she was there but then felt the familiar ache she had felt for the past month. This week had just been the tipping point. She sighed, struggling to turn her head towards Jamie who was busily texting on his phone. His eyes flicked towards her, bolting to grab her hand. She was awake, and that sent a sense of relief to Jamie who had been there for 4 hours. "Im sorry." She said barely audible, and he shook his head, getting closer to comfort the crying girl. "I-Im in so much pain, J. What's happening to me?" She sobbed, "I- I haven't been able to do any-anything. Im so tired, I can-can't stop the pain in my legs or the tre-tremors from stopping. Im so fucking achey, I have chills and then im sweating and. It won't stop." She continued to sob, and Jamie held her in his arms, biting his cheek to stop crying with her. The doctor walked in, a soft smile on her face. "Hi, Sofia." She said softly, sitting down next to the bed. Sofia looked over towards the doctor, adjusting herself and pulling away from Jamie. Jamie swallowed hard, waiting for the doctor to speak. "We ran blood tests, an mri and a lumbar tap. As soon as you got here, you weren't unconcious but you were in and out of it according to the EMT's. Do you remember anything at all?" She questioned, clasping her hands together. She knew what the young girl had, but wanted to hear what the girl had to say. "I don't remember the ride at all. It's- I can't remember anything. The last thing I do remember was being on the phone with Erik my brother and then waking up here." She stated and the doctor nodded. "What were you experiencing beforehand, anything unusual?" She pried and the girl took in a huge breath of air, her eyes filling with tears. Jamie noticed and began to rub her arm. "I was trying to get my legs to stop tremoring and hurting. For the past week- well month I have had on and off tremors, numbness, I've been falling more and more. I've been getting chills and waves of hot flashes. And today, was the first time I've passed out though." The fragile girl explained, and the doctor nodded. She looked between her and Jamie, "After running those tests Miss Johnson, we have found that you have Multiple Schlerosis. Which is a, disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord. It can cause trembling, numbness and weakness like you have experienced. Also trouble with mobility and extreme fatigue. We have caught it early though, so treatment is may have a better chance at limiting the progression of the disease." She paused taking in the girls reaction. Sofia sobbed into Jamie's arms as she began to shake. The sight broke Jamie's heart, he couldn't understnad why it was happening to her. He didn't want to because he knew it would change not only her life, but his.
"We will be starting treatment today and then when you go home tomorrow, I will set you up an appointment with a neruologist and rheumatologist so they can go more in depth with everything. We have already notified your parents and brother, since they are on your file. I am going to send in a social worker now, if that is alright with you?" She questioned, and the young girl nodded. "Jamie- please please go." She said not looking up at the boy. He nodded, giving her a quick peck to her temple. "Ill be right outside." He promised and the girl continued to look down at the bedsheet. Jamie left the room in tears, calling Trevor instantly. Trevor had gone back to the house to have a repair guy fix the door that the EMT's had to break in order to get in. Trevor picked up on the third ring. "Hey man, how is she?" He asked his best friend, "She uh, she has Multiple Schlerosis, MS. She has a health condition, dude." He said sliding down the wall next to the door. The hospital was unusually quiet for this hour, giving him a little more privacy. "Wait what? I thought she was just sick?" Trevor said confused, "Well, yeah. She technically is." Jamie responded, feeling another call coming in. "Ill call you back, Erics' calling." He said hanging up without a word.
Back in the room, Sofia cried. Her whole life had changed within a two minute conversation. "Why me?" She continued to asked the social worker who tried her best to comfort the sad girl. Sofia laid down on the bed, and brought her hands to her face. "I've done everything right. I'm a good person. Im healthy, I take care of myself." She said to no one in particular. She was stating her reasons as to why she didn't understand why she was sick. She turned to look at the social worker, "He's gonna leave me." She said, panicking as she thought about Jamie. "Why do you say that?" The social worker questioned. "Because, im sick. I will never be healthy again. Because i'll be disabled at some point." She sobbed, wrapping her arms around herself. "He's gonna leave me, 2 years down the drain." She sobbed again. "You don't know that Sofia." The social worker said trying to comfort the girl. She only shook her head in response, "How about you come talk to me in 2 days ok?" The social worker asked and the girl nodded. "I hear your parents and brother will be here by that point. So if they have any questions, they are more than welcome to come too. Okay?" She said trying to comfort the girl. Sofia nodded, and the social worker stood up. "I will see you in two days, Sofia. I will leave my card on this table. Ok? Call me day or night, i'll be available." The sweet social worker commented, and Sofia nodded. She looked up at the ceiling, preparing herself for the nurses that would be bombarding- and speak of the devil. She looked at the male nurse who gave her a soft smile. He began to go over what they were giving her, and what it was supposed to do etc.
A few minutes later she saw the familiar smile of her older brother. Who as soon as he heard from Jamie after he got to the hospital, he jetted off. Her parents were still on there way, Sofia was grateful for her older brother now more than ever. He sat down next to her and took ahold of her hand as the doctors proceeded to give her some more liquid i.v's. "Tomorrow, im so getting in n out." She mused, causing Erik to grin.
It was around 10 am the next morning that the girl was released from the hospital, with medications and appointments booked in her future. Erik wheeled her towards Jamie's car, who had pulled up as soon as they exited the hospital. Sofia had barely been able to look at Jamie, doing so made her sad and nauseas. She tossed and turned all night, thinking about the different ways Jamie would leave her. How could she not? Erik and Jamie both assisted her into the front seat, her giving a small smile of thanks. Erik hopped into the backseat and they were off. Every second she saw something familiar on the ride home on the Pacific Coast highway, she couldn't help bite back tears. The beach where she surfed with the boys this past summer, the restaurant where she got hella drunk on her 21st, the list could go on and on. The three reached the house, and Sofia couldn't help but feel upset about going inside. The house where she had lived with Jamie for the past three months was a representation of her old self. She no longer was the Sofia Rose Johnson that everybody knew. She had begun to change when she moved in with Jamie but tried to push those changes away early on. She began to walk towards the front door, smiling as she saw a grinning Trevor who stood at the front door. "What, no souvenir? How rude." He joked pulling her in for a hug. Sofia rolled her eyes, before parting and walking towards the living room, where she instantly sat down in. She put her hands in her face, growing uneasy. "Hey, im gonna go pick up mom and dad from the hotel ok? Were gonna bring back some in n out, ok?" Erik said getting down to her level, she nodded looking up at him and she wrapped her arms around him. Feeling as if she saw him next, she'd be different. They pulled apart and he roughed up her hair a bit before walking out. She leaned back into the couch, and looked at the photos on the wall the couple had only recently hanged up with Trevors help. "Hey, do you want anything?" Jamie asked softly, trying to not startle her. Ever since he left the room the previous evening, Sofia wanted nothing to do with him. He believed it was the shock of everything and wanted to give her space. Sofia nodded, briefly looking at him. "Water is fine." She stated, pushing off the couch to head up stairs. Jamie looked over at Trevor who dashed out of the room to catch up to Sofia.
"Dude, I promise im not gonna break." She mumbled to Trevor who chuckled, and if right on cue- she lost her balance a bit falling back into Trevor. "Im sorry." She said sheepishly but Trevor paid no attention to it as he guided her to the room she shared with Jamie. She sat down at the bed, shaking. Next thing her heard was her trying to softly cry. Trevor sat down next to his friend and wrapped an arm around her. She continued to cry as Jamie walked in with water, kettle chips and her comfort chocolate chip cookies. Trevor looked behind him, unwrapping his arm from the girl. "Let me know if you need anything." He stated and she nodded, giving him a small smile. Jamie set down the tray on the bed, allowing her to get comfortable and settled in. Trevor had changed the sheets while they were gone, and the girl was forever thankful. "I brought your favorites." He smiled laying down next to her and laid down facing her. She smiled, turning towards him and finally looked at him. She bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears. "Hey." He said softly said, pulling her into his chest. "Its ok." He kept repeating, trying to comfort her.
A few hours later, she walked into the guest room where her and her family could speak privatley. "I wanna leave." She stated after they talked about treatment and what everything meant. "Leave?" Erik asked, peering over at his little sister. She nodded, "I don't want to stay here. Everything is a reminder of what was." She stated closing her eyes for a few seconds. "What about Jamie?" Her dad asked, trying to understand her. She shrugged, "He's gonna break up with me anyways." She stated and the three all looked at one another before looking back at Sofia. "You don't know that." Erik stated, and she nodded. "Im not and never will be the girl he first met. I will never be the same, I will continue to get worse. He doesn't deserve somebody like me." She responded. "Okay, we will pause your senior year and you'll come home with us." Her mom declared and Sofia shook her head. "No. I don't wanna go home." She stated, confusing the parents. She looked at them, before looking over at Erik. Erik's eyes showed realiziation in why she looked over. "Honey- that's not possible. He'll be too busy to take care of you. It's not poss-"" There mom was cut off by Erik himself, "No. She can come. Jackie can help her adjust and we can do treatment in Denver. We have some of the best hospitals in the country." Erik said and there mom unsurely nodded. "Well, ok. We will pause your studies and you can pick up when you can. No rush." Her dad stated and she nodded. "I'd like to leave tonight, can we?" She said looking at Erik and he nodded. "I'll get a private jet." He stated before walking out. "Good, I am gonna go get your things packed and dad will take you to the hotel ok?" Her mom said coming over and hugging the girl.
"Let's go sweetie." Her dad said as she stood up, and they walked out and down the stairs. She grabbed her purse from the door, and that's when she heard yelling. "NO! You can't just let her leave without saying anyhting." Jamie yelled at Sofia's mom. "That's not fair!" He said, his voice getting closer. "Let's go." Her dad said opening the front door and she walked out towards the rental car. She opened the door, hopped in and saw Jamie coming out of the house. His face had heartbreak written over it. She swallowed back tears as they pulled away. Jamie watched in disbelief at what was happening. It seemed as if he had no control. Everything was slipping through his grasp. He didn't understand, he couldn't even begin to grasp what was happening. "Im sorry J." Erik said as Jamie walked back inside. Jamie looked at the figure who had turned into a brother the past two years, and shook his head. "If she allows it, when you guys come out to Denver- you could possibly see her." Erik said trying to ease the blow. Jamie looked up at the taller hockey player in confusion, "Yeah, she's coming to live with me." Erik confirmed. "She's not going home to Minnesota, she's coming home with me." Erik repeated.
It felt like a dagger to Jamie's heart. Newport Beach was no longer her home and this move solitified that. Sofia had slipped through his fingers without a second thought. None of this made sense. None of it made sense to Sofia. None of it.

Propaganda
Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter)—She had the most soulful eyes! Like an anime character, it's insane. And she was fantastic in Brief Encounter. I also like that she's relatively ordinary looking, compared to some of the really glamorous Hollywood celebrities? She had an understated beauty, you know? And she's British so horray for national pride, lol.
Hedy Lamarr (Samson and Delilah, Ziegfeld Girl)—Look. I'm sure someone has already submitted Hedy Lamarr because she was spectacularly beautiful, and a very strong lady too: she fled both an abusive marriage AND nazi persecution at a very young age and rebuilt a life for herself pursuing her love for acting all on her own!! Her career as an actress was stellar; while she began acting outside of Hollywood (her very first movie, Ecstasy, won a prize at the Venice Film Festival), she conquered American hearts very quickly with her first movie in the US, Algiers, and then just kept getting better and better. If all this isn't enough, she was also an inventor: her invention of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio transmission technique forms the base of bluetooth and has a lot of applications in all kinds of communication technologies. I think that deserves a prize, don't you?
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Celia Johnson:
An argument actually broke out in a film course I was taking, mostly filled with pensioners, because someone called Celia Johnson "not that beautiful" while we were talking about Brief Encounter. I don't understand how anyone can watch that movie and say that, she's got such magnetism and I think she's so gorgeous!!!
This woman set the bar for romantic doomed love and NO ONE has ever bettered it.
Hedy Lamarr:
The only person you can find both on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in the Inventor's Hall of Fame--her radio-frequency-hopping technology forms the basis for cordless phones, wi-fi, and a dozen other aspects of modern life. She was also passionate in her efforts to aid the Allies in WWII (unsurprising for a Jewish-Austrian Emigree to America), and her name served as the backbone for one of the best running jokes in what is possibly Mel Brooks' best movie. Look, Louis B. Mayer apparently believed he could plausibly promote her as "The world's most beautiful woman". Is an entire website full of people going to be less audacious than one Louis B. Mayer? I didn't think so!
Described as "Hedy has the most incredible personal sophistication. She knows the peculiarly European art of being womanly; she knows what men want in a beautiful woman, what attracts them, and she forces herself to be these things. She has magnetism with warmth, something that neither Dietrich nor Garbo has managed to achieve" by Howard Sharpe, she managed to escape her controlling husband (and Nazi Germany) by a) Disguising as her maid and fleeing to Paris or b) Convincing the husband to let her wear all of her jewelry to a dinner, only to disappear afterwards. Also she was particularly clever and helped develop Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (I can't really explain it but anyway...)
One of the most beautiful women ever in film, spoken by many critics and fans. Beautiful shapely figure, deeper seductive voice, and often played femme fatale roles. She was also brilliant and an inventor. Mainly self-taught, she invested her spare time, including on set between takes, in designing and drafting inventions, which included an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a flavored carbonated drink, and much more.
Her depiction of Delilah and Samson and Delilah just lives rent free in my head. The woman was gorgeous.
Gorgeous and brilliant pioneer of modern technology and the middle part.

Historically, women have made significant contributions across various fields, but their achievements were often overshadowed, uncredited, or attributed to their male counterparts. Here are some examples where the contributions of women were relegated to the background:
1. Science and Mathematics:
Rosalind Franklin: She was instrumental in discovering the double-helix structure of DNA. However, her male colleagues, Watson and Crick, received most of the credit and the Nobel Prize.
Mary Cartwright: A pioneering mathematician whose work was crucial in nonlinear differential equations and nonlinear dynamics but is often overshadowed by male counterparts.
2. Technology and Engineering:
Hedy Lamarr: Besides being a famous Hollywood actress, Lamarr co-invented a frequency-hopping signal technology, a precursor to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For many years, her technological contribution was largely unrecognized.
The ENIAC Programmers: Six women programmed the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, ENIAC, but weren’t recognized for decades.
3. Arts and Literature:
The Brontë Sisters: Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë initially published their literary works under male pseudonyms due to the prevailing belief that women writers were inferior.
Alma Reville: The wife of Alfred Hitchcock, who contributed significantly to his films’ scripts and editing, often without formal recognition.
4. Space and Astronomy:
Katherine Johnson: A NASA mathematician who played a crucial role in the success of Apollo missions. Her story, along with other Black female mathematicians at NASA, was brought to light in the book and film “Hidden Figures.”
Jocelyn Bell Burnell: Discovered radio pulsars but was overlooked when her male colleagues received the Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery.
5. Social and Political Movements:
Coretta Scott King: While Martin Luther King Jr. is widely celebrated for his role in the American civil rights movement, the contributions of his wife, Coretta, who was also an activist and civil rights leader, are often overshadowed.
Women of the Suffrage Movement: Though some prominent figures are celebrated, many women who were essential in the fight for voting rights remain nameless in history.
6. Medicine:
Elizabeth Blackwell: The first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States and founded a medical school for women but is not as widely remembered as her male contemporaries.
Each of these women made significant contributions in their respective fields. The reclamation and acknowledgment of their work and impact, often overlooked in historical records, is a crucial aspect of revising and giving a complete picture of history, emphasizing the role of women in shaping our world.
