‘dangerously yours’ .ೃ࿐ ❝prologue❞

┊ ➶ ｡˚ 　　° cillian murphy x f! reader

. . .

Y/N HAS A ONE DREAM since her childhood. she wanted to do something for her great-grandmother, even if she is no longer in this world. she wanted to thank her for her motivation and inspiration to be an actress. her great-grandmother was a fantastic woman who didn’t care about opinions; she was doing everything she wanted to. inga — because that was her name — wanted to be an actress, but nobody wanted her, but she didn't lose hope. gladly, one day she was asked by vicks matinee theatre to be the main ‘actress’ in every sunday’s afternoon broadcast streaming on radio called ‘dangerously yours’. of course, she said yes to this.

inga’s voice was in every episode, but she never played the same character. that was also why she loved that show so much. the stories were always so romantic but also dramatic and adventurous. it was harder than just acting in movies because you needed to express all of your emotions just with your voice because listeners didn’t see your face. but she loved doing it; it was her comfort show. they recorded sixteen episodes, but today people can find only thirteen of them.

y/n loved to listen to this show as a kid because it was the only memory she had of her great-grandmother. she was in love with inga’s voice and her expression skills. when y/n turned twelve and was more aware of what she wanted to do in the future, she started to write a script inspired by ‘dangerously yours’. of course, it wasn’t the best because she was just a child, but she was proud of the idea, and she dreamed of a movie based on this broadcast. she wanted to produce it. and this dream has been with her to date.

. . .

when y/n turned sixteen, she started to take her ‘job’ more seriously; she even had a list of actors she wanted to see in her show. she has an actor for every role, but she still doesn’t have a main male character. she has known so many great actors, but nobody has really matched her ideal. then she started to watch with her mother a new series ‘peaky blinders’ and she saw him. cillian murphy he was her ideal for this role (maybe not just for a role). eight years have passed since then, and she still wants cillian in her production. she was watching every movie he appeared in; she knew that only he would play this character like she wanted to.

when she finished high school, she went to acting school. she felt alive when she was acting; she loved it, and she had stronger motivation to make her dreams come true. she knew that she could make it happen. her teachers said that she is a great actress, and she just thanked her great-grandmother for that because she was an inspiration when she was performing. after finishing her acting studies, she started to learn how to write a script more professionally because she wanted everything to be perfect. it needs to be perfect.

. . .

now we are in 2021, and her dream has started to come true. with her mother's help, she found the director who wanted to make this show, and she started working with professional people who knew how to do a good movie and how to have all the actors from her list here, and everything seems to be working. almost every actor loved the idea for the plot and agreed to play in this show; the only actor that didn’t answer was cillian murphy. the man she needed the most in this production was him; without him, she didn’t want this series because nobody else would play the main character as he did. but she didn’t lose hope; she just patiently waited for him to answer the proposal.

the music for the movie she had since 2016, and she couldn’t be happier when lana del rey accepted the offer to do a few songs for this show. y/n thinks that she was perfect for this, and she couldn’t imagine any other person doing half of the soundtrack but lana. y/n cannot believe that her dream was just coming true, that all the plans she made as a kid worked, and that she is about to do a series with real and popular actors; it was just too perfect.

she was happy, of course, but still, she didn’t have cillian as a main character, and just at the moment when she was about to search for another man to play this character, her casting producer walked into her room with a big smile.

“cillian agreed to play this role”

- ͙۪۪̥˚┊❛ thank you for attention!! ❜┊˚ ͙۪۪̥◌

note: i hope that you will love this series. im so excited for this and i hope you are too!

Sunday Matinee #63 is coming

Sunday April 16th from 4PM

Sunday Matinee #64

In no particular order: Kristoffer Lislegaard (Oslo, Norway)

A common thread in Lislegaard’s multidisciplinary work is the exploration of different methods of sound creation, i.e. through instrument design, programming, improvising, recording, reworking one’s own material, collaboration and incorporating other art forms. A fondness for atmospheric, layered and texture rich soundscapes is prevalent in all of his artistic work.Check out Kristoffer work here: https://www.kristofferlislegaard.com/

Teresa Riemann (Berlin)

Sprung from the dark caves of the collective german subconsciousness, forging an outlet via the Berlin Noise scene, Berlin based musician, poetess and performance-artist Teresa Riemann explores, through her creative output, the darkness and even more-so the light, which can be found in the spaces we like to keep locked up far away from where anybody can see them.

After being taught how to play the piano in a classical way, excluding all passion from pure perfection, she started to evolve a genuine art of playing by learning the instruments by herself, starting with the electric guitar, later discovering drums. Read more and listen here: https://www.teresariemann.com/

Dept. Of Justice (Berlin) Dept. Of Justice" plays a collection of interdimensional radio hits. Founded by Capt. Trips and carrying forward. This endeavour features two Drummers, Jim Sykes (Parts and Labor, Grooms, Martin Bisi Band), Oliver Rivera Drew (SUSU, Paro, Mary Ocher and Your Government, Martin Bisi Band), on electronics: Diego Ferri (China Woman, Paro, Martin Bisi Band), and on vocals: "The Empress ".

—>>> and Some DJ will show up and play music in between sets, how's that?

—>>> and delicious vegan food provided by Los Nopales Tacos!

**2G rules no longer apply in Berlin, however, we would be very glad if you test yourself before coming, and if you have cold-like symptoms we suggest you having a cup of tea and stay put! thank you**

SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Kept on Walkin’ (Pivotal Moments in Time)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xha_fSvcM-E ...The smallest decision can change your life forever, whether in thought, deed, business, love, and matters of eternity…that is the message behind the lyrics largely written by Jennie Kanski, with chords and melody set up by her husband Steve Kanski. I tweaked the lyrics a bit and arranged it in a style that dailyvault. com (in a review) identified as “Roxy Music-ish hipster crooning.” More specifically, I was aiming for a pensive mood ala 80s-era Bryan Ferry (when David Gilmour was playing guitar). At least two singers have expressed interest in covering this song (I sent it to Bryan in 2014), and it was playlisted on Lord Litter’s radio show in Berlin (Germany). Thank you for watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xha_fSvcM-E

Lover - Chapter 9 Preview: “I think he knows”

Claire had just arrived home from work on a crisp October Monday afternoon when she felt her phone buzzing in her bag. Kicking off her shoes, she dug for it and smiled when she saw Jamie’s name and picture taking over her screen.

“Have you timed my commute, I just texted you before I left.” She was smirking as she giggled a bit, hoping he could hear the amusement in her voice although her tone was mock accusatory.

“Mebbe…“came Jamie’s bashful reply. “You have a long weekend next weekend, correct?”

“Yes, apparently our great nation is still a big fan of colonialism so I have next Monday off.”

“So, I ken we’ve been keeping a low profile, but what would you say to spending the weekend in the city with me?” he asked a bit sheepishly. Before she could reply, he provided reasoning: “It’s a big city and we’re not so likely to be seen, not to mention it’s been several months since ya left Frank, and people are less likely to be suspicious of our relationship.”

“You, obviously don’t know Frank’s people that well,” came her bitter reply, rolling her eyes despite the fact that he could see, “but I suppose you’re right. What’s a country boy like you want to spend his last weekend here in the big city for though?”

“Weill, I may have won a wee radio contest and scored us tickets to a Sunday matinee of Wicked. I thought we could head in Saturday, and make a weekend out of it. I have a few other places in mind I’d like to take ya.” Jamie’s enthusiasm was obvious in his voice.

“That actually sounds really nice.” Claire was beaming at the thought. “You do know I lived in the city for four years though right? Shouldn’t I be the one showing you around?”

“If ya have anywhere in mind, I’ll gladly add it to the list”

“Oh, there’s a list?” she elicited, smirking to herself.

“Aye, I fully intend to spend the weekend sweeping you off your feet, Ms. Beauchamp.” He was an architect drawing up his plans.

“Is that so?” she giggled “Well I certainly don’t intend on spending your last weekend here without you, and if you have Broadway tickets I simply can’t have you taking someone else.” she declared.

“Wouldn’t dream of it, I’d have to scalp the tickets on the street.” he chuckled back. “Or worse, give the tickets to Jenny and Ian and spend the weekend watching the bairns.”

“We certainly can’t have that!” she dramatized. Her tone shifted and her voice became gentler as she continued, “a weekend in the city with you sounds wonderful, Jamie.”

“I’m glad we’re on the same page, Sassenach. Besides, I already booked a lovely little AirBnB in Greenwich Village.”

“Ok, if we’re going to be in The Village I have only one request.”

“Anything for you, Sassenach.”

“We have to get Murray’s bagels for breakfast at least one morning. They’re the best in the city.”

“Of course, I’ll add it to the list”

“There really is a list, isn’t there?”

“Absolutely.”

“Do you want to share the list with me?” she elicited.

“Nae, I’d rather surprise ya if it’s all the same.”

“You’re such a romantic, James Fraser.”

“Can you blame me, when I have such beautiful Sassenach to woo?” Claire just giggled in reply, glad Jamie couldn’t see her blushing over the phone. The smooth hum of her chuckle always reminded Jamie of church bells, and his heart leapt a bit hearing the noise. “I was thinking we could catch the nine AM train on Saturday morning, the AirBnB wasna available Friday night and I dinnae wanna rush you out exhausted after yer work week anyway, ya ken? If nine is too early we could push it to ten, but no later, I have a lot planned.”

“I’ll aim for nine, we can push it to ten if I oversleep.” she chuckled. “I’m really excited, I’ve always wanted to see Wicked”

“I ken. Ya told me once.”

“Of course you ken.” she chided, “you really are a romantic.”

“So I’ll see you Saturday morning?”

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

The evening of January 2, 1993, was a chaotic shitshow at the Silver Dollar. Two inches of toilet water from a stopped-up men’s room toilet had flooded out onto the middle of the dance floor. In the mosh pit, countless pairs of Chucks were getting drenched. Mohawks were mussed. Performing onstage to the crowd of about 400 was Green Day, less than one year from the release of Dookie, the breakthrough album that would catapult the Bay Area punk act to superstardom. Many of the songs in the band’s setlist that night would eventually become radio anthems.....

Silver Dollar’s last shows took place on Saturday, January 2, and Sunday, January 3, 1993, and were headlined by Green Day. Originally booked as a single gig on Saturday night on the inside stage, the band, which was on the cusp of signing its breakthrough deal with Reprise Records, added an outdoor matinee the following afternoon due to the enormous turnout.....

They did [“Big Yellow Taxi”] by Joni Mitchell, because the rumor at the time was they were making the building into a parking lot for one of the stadiums, so that’s why he played that song. Someone recorded the first show, [and] I think that bootleg is one of the Silver Dollar’s biggest claims to fame.

#didn't they play the last show at mcgregor's in IL too?#why did they always close out clubs that were shutting down?#article #articles #green day #90s boyfriends

My Date With Sally

I’ve been lonely walking around in New York all by myself. The thought of it depressed me. So I gave Old Sally Hayes a buzz. See I don’t really like her all that much, but it gives me something to do. She agreed to meet be at Biltmore so we could see one of those matinee shows. I had a lot of time to kill before then so I put my suitcases in one of those lock boxes in Grand Central Station and went to go eat breakfast. While I was there I met these nice old nuns. The were teachers. The I remember that my sister, Phoebe, normally goes to the park on Sundays. She wasn’t there, but I did meet this nice little girl having a hard time with her skates. She was real polite when I tied them for her. At that point I didn’t feel like going on that date anymore, but I still got a cab to Biltmore. Old Sally showed up ten minutes late, but I honestly couldn’t care. When I saw her, damn, she looked terrific. We went to go see The Lunts, the phony stuff she goes crazy for. She said it was “marvelous.” That really killed me. It was a typical girl falls in love and marries a guy, but her parents don’t approve, stuff I couldn't get into. Don’t get me wrong the actors were very good, but they acted like the knew they were famous. During the intermission Old Sally saw this jerk that apparently she knew. He was all proper with those suits. God, when he came over to say hi, it was real phony, they acted like they hadn’t seen each other in years. He had that snobby, monotoned, tired Ivy League voices. I really hated Sally by the time we got into the cab. Making me listen to all the phony crap. She asked me if I wanted to go ice skating at Radio City. I said yes, I had nothing better to do anyway. She rented one of those short skating skirts, she look really good in it. We were absolutely the worst skaters on the ice. After that whole ordeal we went inside to grab a table and some drinks. Well, while we were there I kind of blew up. I was spouting all this nonsense about going to Massachusetts and getting married and all that. She got all sore about it and said something like we can’t just do that or whatever. I was really heating up. I told her that she was a real pain and she started crying. She left me at Radio City and didn't even let me take her home. Honestly, it was a disaster.

Bessie Love (born Juanita Horton; September 10, 1898 – April 26, 1986) was an American-British actress who achieved prominence playing innocent, young girls and wholesome leading ladies in silent and early sound films. Her acting career spanned eight decades—from silent film to sound film, including theatre, radio, and television—and her performance in The Broadway Melody (1929) earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Love was born Juanita Horton in Midland, Texas, to John Cross Horton and Emma Jane Horton ( Savage). Her father was a cowboy and bartender, while her mother worked in and managed restaurants. She attended school in Midland until she was in the eighth grade, when her family moved to Arizona, New Mexico, and then to California, where they settled in Hollywood. When in Hollywood, her father became a chiropractor, and her mother worked at the Jantzen's Knitwear and Bathing Suits factory.

In June 1915, while a student at Los Angeles High School, Horton went to the set of a film to meet with actor Tom Mix, who had recommended that she visit him if she wanted to "get into pictures". However, when Mix was unavailable, she was advised to meet with pioneering film director D. W. Griffith, who put her under personal contract. When it was decided that her given name was too long for theater marquees and too difficult to pronounce, Griffith's associate Frank Woods gave Horton the stage name Bessie Love: "Bessie, because any child can pronounce it. And Love, because we want everyone to love her!" Love dropped out of high school to pursue her film career, but she completed her diploma in 1919.

Griffith gave her a small role in his Intolerance (1916). Although Intolerance was her first performance to be filmed, it was her ninth film to be released. The first films Love made were with Griffith's Fine Arts company, yet Intolerance was the only film that he formally directed.

Her "first role of importance" —in the second of her films to be released—was in The Flying Torpedo (1916). She later appeared opposite William S. Hart in The Aryan and with Douglas Fairbanks in The Good Bad-Man, Reggie Mixes In, and The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (all 1916). This string of appearances and supporting roles led to her first starring role, in A Sister of Six (1916). In her early career, she was likened to Mary Pickford, and was called "Our Mary" by Griffith.

As her roles got larger, her popularity gradually grew. In early 1918, Love left Fine Arts for a better contract with Pathé.[ After the Pathé films were unsuccessful, she signed a nine-film contract with Vitagraph later that year, all of which were directed by David Smith. Her performances often received positive reviews, but her films often were shown at smaller movie theaters, which impacted the growth of her career.

Upon the completion of her Vitagraph contract, Love became a free agent. She took an active role in the management of her career, and was represented by Gerald C. Duffy, the former editor of Picture-Play Magazine.

Love sought roles that were different from the little girls she had portrayed earlier in her career when under contract to studios. She played Asian women in The Vermilion Pencil (1922) and The Purple Dawn (1923); a drug-addicted mother in Human Wreckage (1923); a woman accused of murder in The Woman on the Jury (1924); an underworld flapper in Those Who Dance (1924); and versions of her real-life self in Night Life in Hollywood (1922), Souls for Sale (1923), and Mary of the Movies (1923).

As a film star, she was expected to entertain studio executives at parties, so she learned to sing, dance, and play the ukulele. She gradually honed these skills and later performed them onscreen and on the stage. Because of her performance in The King on Main Street (1925), Love is credited with being the first person to dance the Charleston on film, popularizing it in the United States. Her technique was documented in instructional guides, including a series of photographs by Edward Steichen. She subsequently performed the dance the following year in The Song and Dance Man.

In 1925, she starred in The Lost World, a science fiction adventure based on the novel of the same name by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In 1927, she appeared in the successful Dress Parade, and was so impressed by her experiences on location that she wrote the unpublished novel Military Mary. A year later, she starred in The Matinee Idol, a romantic comedy directed by a young Frank Capra. Despite these successes, Love's career was on the decline. She lived frugally so that she could afford lessons in singing and dancing.

Love toured with a musical revue for sixteen weeks, which was so physically demanding that she broke a rib. The experience she gained on the vaudeville stage singing and dancing in three performances a day prepared her for the introduction of sound films. She appeared in the successful sound musical short film The Swell Head in early 1928, and was signed to MGM later that year.

In 1929, she appeared in her first feature-length sound film, the musical The Broadway Melody. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the success of the film resulted in a five-year contract with MGM and an increase in her weekly salary from US$500 to $3,000 (equivalent to $45,000 in 2019)—$1,000 more than her male co-star Charles King.

She appeared in several other early musicals, including 1929's The Hollywood Revue of 1929 and 1930's Chasing Rainbows, Good News, and They Learned About Women. Her success in these musicals earned her the title "the screen's first musical comedy star."

However, the popularity of musical films waned, again putting her career in decline. Love is quoted as saying of her career: "I guess I'm through. They don't seem to want me any more." She shifted focus to her personal life, marrying in December 1929.

She semi-retired from films, and traveled with a musical revue that included clips from her films The Broadway Melody, The Hollywood Revue, and Chasing Rainbows. While on tour, she learned she was pregnant with her daughter, who was born in 1932. Love stopped her stage work to raise her daughter. In 1935, Love moved to England, briefly returning to the United States in 1936 to obtain a divorce.

During World War II in Britain, when it was difficult to find employment as an actress, Love worked as the script supervisor on the film drama San Demetrio London (1943). She also worked for the American Red Cross.

After the war, Love began acting again, this time primarily in the theater and on BBC Radio as a member of their Drama Repertory Company; she also played small roles in British films, often as an American tourist. Stage work included such productions as Love in Idleness (1944) and Born Yesterday (1947). She wrote and performed in The Homecoming, a semiautobiographical play, which opened in Perth, Scotland in 1958. Film work included The Barefoot Contessa (1954) with Humphrey Bogart, and Ealing Studios' Nowhere to Go (1958), and she had supporting roles in The Greengage Summer (1961) starring Kenneth More, the James Bond thriller On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), and John Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971). In addition to playing the mother of Vanessa Redgrave's titular character in Isadora (1968), Love also served as dialect coach to the actress.

When television became popular, Love appeared in dozens of episodes of British television shows in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. In October 1963, she became the subject of This Is Your Life when host Eamonn Andrews surprised her at the stage door of Never Too Late after its London opening. Guests included London Scrapbook director Derrick De Marney, her Forget Me Not (1922) co-star Gareth Hughes, actor Percy Marmont, her friend and Those Who Dance (1924) co-star Blanche Sweet, and her daughter Patricia.

Love appeared in John Osborne's play West of Suez (1971), and as "Aunt Pittypat" in a large-scale musical version of Gone with the Wind (1972). She also played Maud Cunard in the TV miniseries Edward & Mrs. Simpson in 1978. Her film work continued in the 1980s with roles in Ragtime (1981), Reds (1981), Lady Chatterley's Lover (1981), and—her final film—The Hunger (1983).

Love married agent William Hawks at St. James' Episcopal Church in South Pasadena, California on December 27, 1929. Mary Astor (Hawks's sister-in-law), Carmel Myers, and Norma Shearer were among her bridesmaids, with Irving Thalberg and Hawks's brother Howard serving as ushers. Following their wedding, the couple lived at the Havenhurst Apartments in Hollywood, and their only child, Patricia, was born in 1932. Four years later, the couple divorced.

Love moved to England with her daughter in 1935, a year before her divorce was final. Her life in England kept her out of the eye of her American fans, which resulted in the American press erroneously reporting her as dead multiple times. Love became a British subject in the late 1960s.

Love was a Christian Scientist.

After several years of declining health, Love died at the Mount Vernon Hospital in Northwood, London from natural causes on April 26, 1986. Her ashes are interred at Breakspear Crematorium in Ruislip, Hillingdon, England.

Cartoonist Alex Gard created a caricature of Love for Sardi's, the famed restaurant in Manhattan's Theater District. It is now part of the Billy Rose Theatre Division of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Portraits of Love are also in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Love periodically was interviewed by film historians, and was featured in the television documentary series The Hollywood Greats (1978) and Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film (1980), both about early filmmaking in Hollywood. She also loaned materials from her personal collection to museums. In 1962, she began contributing articles about her experiences to The Christian Science Monitor. In 1977, she published an autobiography entitled From Hollywood with Love.

For her contributions to the motion picture industry, Love was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960 at 6777 Hollywood Boulevard.

Hot Wheels Invades National Champions to Conclude Winter Season

Being a champion means being the absolute best at what one does. That’s something the New England Patriots said in early February when they hoisted the Lombardi Trophy for a sixth time. Joey Logano raised the Monster Energy Championship last November at Homestead, and weeks prior, the best team by far in Major League Baseball raised a World Series trophy, the Boston Red Sox.

Each event for Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live is considered it’s own championship event. No season points, no multiple champions, but at the end of each show is a champion.

The final week of the winter tour for the tour invaded a venue that not long ago got to say they were the best. It was in early April when the Virginia Cavaliers could tell the world they were the absolute best in college basketball, as they won the bracket and brought home the biggest title in basketball. It was only fitting that the final stop come at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Cavaliers’ home court. The hardwood was not on the floor for this weekend, but rather stacks of cars, tires, and vans to welcome droves of fans for some intense action on what has been a spectacular start to the series.

Saturday provided an evening show with a full Crash Zone to every fan with a paid ticket, many of which waited hours for the doors to open prior to the show.

Once the red carpets were moved, and the trucks did their traditional parade lap for introductions, the stacked crowd was ready for some intense competition, and they got that right away with the opening wheelie contest.

Every truck attacked the cars with power, but going early had its benefits because one week removed from his first Titan Cup, Cody Holman made the Bone Shaker hot rod roar to life, sending the skull on the nose towards the roof each hit. Despite the remaining five trucks putting on a strong effort, Holman was the top dog in the show, taking the opening competition.

After a bit of entertainment by hosts Ken Navitsky and Freddie Shepard, it was time to spin things into the donut competition, but it ultimately was more of the same since once again, Snellen took the V8 Bomber into a cyclone that smoked up the venue, and put his streak of consecutive contest wins at 20, an unbelievable mark.

But, following the antics of freestyle motocross, one truck would go on ad dominate the remaining events of the evening.

Derick Anson was held out of a Titan Cup a week ago in the Demo Derby Cadillac. However, he was not wanting to give up and decided to push his chassis to the limit on this evening. He started out quickly with a strong launch in the long jump competition, something he’s been accustomed to all year long. Then, after intermission, he worked his way through the bracket and matched up against Christian Norman in the Hot Wheels Racing 1 Raptor. A quick reaction time and a heavy right foot put Anson on top on this night, meaning he was in prime position for the overall championship.

All that was left was freestyle, but that competition got off to a rough, and wild, beginning.

Darron Schnell was one of the early trucks to take to the track and decided to take the all-blue Bigfoot machine right to the center of the track and hammer the van stack. The problem was, the rear tires were not quite straight on the stack, unlike the front. The truck pitched hard to the left, and hammered the concrete floor. Despite laying on the throttle trying to get the truck to correct, the concrete won and Bigfoot was on it’s side, the second roll for any truck on the circuit.

Immediately officials hit the kill radio and rushed to the truck, along with Norman, his brother Phillip, and Schnell’s wife, Rebecca. Luckily, the driver was alright. After maneuvering the truck around a bit in order to have enough room to put the truck on the wheels, the truck was righted onto the tires, and the crews reviewed the aftermath.

Surprisingly, the body itself only showed some scuff marks right on the cab where it slid across the floor. But, the left-front wheel was a different story. The tire was holding air, but the rim itself was bent hard, and would ultimately need replaced.

Still, the truck fired back up and was pulled into the pits, allowing the competition to continue.

As the action got back under way, every truck pushed things harder, including Snellen almost getting on his side after a cross-thread hit on the cars. But, at the end of it all, Anson would push harder than anyone and ultimately be declared the winner, and that was more than enough to take home the Titan Cup on this night. A champion once again, Anson celebrated with the fans afterwards in the autograph line.

SATURDAY RESULTS:

Wheelie Competition: Cody Holman, Bone Shaker

Donut Contest: Steven Snellen, V8 Bomber

Long Jump: Derick Anson, Demo Derby

Racing Finals: Derick Anson, Demo Derby, def. Christian Norman, Hot Wheels Racing 1

Freestyle: Derick Anson, Demo Derby

Titan Cup Champion: Derick Anson, Demo Derby

It became all-hands on to ensure all the trucks were ready for the final performance of not just the weekend, but also the final performance of the winter tour. Teams were working together to make sure the Bigfoot truck was ready to go for the mid-afternoon matinee, when in fact there was not as much damage as expected. Aside from the bent rim and the body rub, the actual chassis was fully intact.

Call them battle scars, or call it pushing the envelope, but every team was prepared for the final performance and showed it when the fans came in for the final crash zone.

What became of the final performance was a truck that only had one Cup to his name, but decided to make the ultimate performance on this day. Bobby Holman had the most unique body on his truck all season, an aquatic mammal that was deemed the Tiger Shark. To start the Sunday program, that Shark pointed its nose directly at the roof of the arena on both hits, enough to earn him the top honors to start the afternoon.

Snellen once again decided to spin his way to a donut victory, what would be his 21st consecutive, but then Bobby showed that the ole Shark can sky out of the water along with look to the roof.

His long jump victory gave him two wins on the night, which was more than when he won his Titan Cup a few weeks prior. When it came to racing, the Hall of Fame driver showed he too can still get the job done on the lights, as he bested even Anson to get the racing victory on the afternoon. At that point, with three wins, the Cup was heading back to Ohio, but the Shark was wanting to make a near sweep of the event.

Alas, Anson had other ideas.

For a second straight day, the Demo Derby machine was roaring to life and made the floor of the John Paul Jones Arena his own personal playground. Anson would be the freestyle champion, but on the final show, it was the Tiger Shark taking home the Titan Cup, and bragging rights.

SUNDAY RESULTS:

Wheelie Competition: Bobby Holman, Tiger Shark

Donut Contest: Steven Snellen, V8 Bomber

Long Jump: Bobby Holman, Tiger Shark

Racing Finals: Bobby Holman, Tiger Shark, def. Derick Anson, Demo Derby

Freestyle: Derick Anson, Demo Derby

Titan Cup Champion: Bobby Holman, Tiger Shark

And there it is, the final event of the winter tour for the inaugural Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live season. So, does that mean that everything is done, and the tour will be dormant for the next seven or eight months?

Far from it. As was posted on the Hot Wheels Live Facebook page, this Friday will be a major announcement. According to the post, the “smashing and crashing is not done yet.”

So, does this mean some summer dates have been achieve, maybe perhaps some shows that are not set up at arenas, but more along the lines of being outdoors? After all, these trucks have only done shows on concrete. Could we see some faster speeds, bigger air, and even bigger obstacles following the announcement?

All we know is Friday is a big day for the tour, and immediately after, be sure to visit HotWheelsMonsterTrucksLive.com to find out even more details.

Women in Hardcore Part 3: Kelly Leonard

Written by Jennifer Moglia. Graphic by Moira Ashley.

Welcome back! This is the third installment of a new series on Girls Behind The Rock Show, consisting of interviews with women and gender-diverse people in the world of hardcore and punk music. We’re hoping that these conversations will shine a spotlight on some of the most inspirational, powerful non-male people in the genre today, and show our readers that music has no gender, regardless of the genre - if you want to be involved in hardcore, you can be involved in hardcore, and your gender identity should never stop you from doing so.

In this part of the series, we got to chat with Kelly Leonard. She’s different from the other interviewees in the sense that she isn’t in a hardcore band herself, but the impact that she has had on the genre is undeniable.

Leonard runs xSisterhoodx, a blog/zine/merch store/community/you name it dedicated to supporting straight edge women/gender-diverse people and women/gender-diverse people in hardcore. Hearing about how she became involved with the genre and how she got to where she is now was inspiring, and really got me thinking about what I can do for my own little section of this community.

Jennifer Moglia: Hey Kelly, thanks so much for doing this! Could you introduce yourself to our readers?

Kelly Leonard: My name is Kelly (Brother) Leonard, I’m 41 years old. I grew up in Pine Bush, NY, but I now live in Northford, Connecticut. My pronouns are she/her.

JM: How did you start listening to hardcore? Do you remember what first got you hooked?

KL: I grew up in New York, not the city, but not really upstate either...we were right in the middle between NYC and Albany. All throughout my freshman year of high school, I listened to punk. Most of what I had access to came from Vassar College Radio.

It wasn’t until 1995, my sophomore year, that I was really introduced to hardcore. I had started dating a guy who was a drummer; he was super into progressive rock (think Dream Theater, Rush, etc.) and after we had started dating, he was asked to join a local hardcore band.

The singer for the band was a good ten years older than us; he was straight edge, married, and was one of those people with a brain like a trap. He had an encyclopedic memory for bands, especially metal and hardcore bands, and just about every week at band practice he would bring

us mixtapes and zines - he essentially gave us a punk/hardcore education. I was hooked!

Looking back it’s hard not to see how lucky and spoiled I was - I was in NY in the 90s, when hardcore was exploding in the area, and the band my boyfriend was in was fairly popular locally, so they often got on shows with larger “brand name” bands. It was an amazing experience.

I can’t remember the first band that got me hooked, but I have a very clear memory of

when One King Down’s “Bloodlust Revenge” came out. We, my boyfriend, the singer of his

band, and his wife, were sitting on a bed in my boyfriend’s bedroom and we were listening to the record on one of those all-in-one CD player/speaker combos.

I remember thinking that the drums sounded like cannons. We then went to see them at the QE2, and it was mayhem...it was awesome.

JM: What is it about hardcore that made you love it and want to be a part of it? Do you still feel that way about the music and the community now?

KL: Even though I didn’t live in NYC, living in NY alone allowed me to be heavily influenced by NYC’s scene. I was attracted to and bought into the concept of unity and brotherhood/sisterhood/family.

My house growing up was pretty chaotic, my dad was an angry man, and hardcore was an escape from that (the irony of that statement is not lost on me). It was a place I could go to be part of a different kind of family; I felt accepted, and I felt like I had found my people, as corny as it sounds. I loved that I could show up to a hardcore matinee on a Sunday and see my friends from different schools.

In a way, yes, I feel the same, but I’ve been going to shows since I was 15, and I’m 41 now, so it’s a bit different. When my husband I go to a show we meet up with people we have been friends with for 20+ years...it really is a lot like extended family. We show up, everyone hugs, we catch up, we listen to bands, we talk about our kids - it’s a great time.

JM: How did you get to be involved in hardcore, particularly leading xSisterhoodx?

KL: I wish I could say that xSisterhoodx was all my idea, but it wasn’t. The girl who did start it has asked me not to mention her name, so I won’t.

At the time I was running a small online club called The Girls With Moxie; I had created a website with profiles and I would hand laminate membership cards and mail them out. It was silly, but a lot of fun, and we had members from all over the country.

When I started to get more into straight edge I began to look for other girls like me, and there weren’t many of us, so I started searching for a community. I found that with xSisterhoodx.

The girl who was moderating it decided she no longer wanted to do it and asked if anyone wanted to take over, so I raised my hand, so to speak. I took everything that I had learned from The Girls With Moxie (building up membership profiles and content) and poured it into xSisterhoodx.

Things were different back then - derogatory phrases directed towards women in hardcore like “no clit in the pit” and “coat rack” were common, and I was told over and over again that girls couldn’t be straight edge, or I needed to “know my role.”

I remember feeling like I always needed to prove myself; it was especially hard because people

would assume I was into straight edge and hardcore because of my boyfriend when the reality

was that we came into it together. I knew there had to be others like me who felt the same frustrations.

A lot was going on in the 90s into the early 2000s in the straight edge scene that was pretty

Cringe-worthy and, at some points, toxic. I tried hard to ensure that xSisterhoodx was less like that, a place where their voice could be heard, uninterrupted, and without being instantly called a slut or a “band-aid” or having their motivations questioned.

Things started to come together for the site in the early 2000s, MySpace took off and made

networking much easier. By then my high school boyfriend and I had parted ways, and much

to the surprise of some, I was still going to shows, and still straight edge.

I started working as the metal and hardcore director for the radio station at my college and I started to work on getting connections to start offering contests and giveaways on the site. I would do a weekly streaming radio show and upload it to the site too...just about every week a random guy would call and “test” my knowledge of the music, or accuse me of having someone else make my playlists.

JM: Do you think that the genre of hardcore as a whole could or should have more representation for women and gender-diverse people? Is there anything you think could make the genre a better place for you or for others?

KL: Would I like to see more she/her/they/them involved, absolutely! To be fair, there are way

more women/girls/gender-diverse people involved in the scene now than when I was growing

up, so progress is happening, slowly.

Sometimes, I worry that the toxic masculinity present in pockets of the scene will force the community to contract. I can’t see today’s kids, who crave inclusivity and diversity being drawn to a scene that harbors, promotes, and/or accepts antiquated attitudes towards gender. My hope is that as the world re-opens, and we start to get more control over COVID-19, that a new

generation of kids will discover hardcore and infuse new life and ideas into it.

JM: What helps you feel welcomed as a woman/gender-diverse person in the world of hardcore?

KL: That’s a really difficult question to answer. It’s not that I feel welcomed or unwelcomed, and I

think that comes from just being here for so long...I’m not a new face.

As far as making it a more welcoming space for younger/new people, I’m not sure. I think that it’s incumbent for those who have sway/”clout” to speak out against any abuse in the community.

I can understand why someone may have the instinct to gatekeep their scene; they care about

it, it means a lot to them, they’ve invested a lot into it. Sometimes new people show up and

immediately start trying to change things, and/or act as they know more or better.

I think we all need to remember that we were kids once, too. In my case I had someone older and more knowledgeable to help me out, so I try to return the favor. I think if more people did that, we’d be off to a good start.

JM: What would you say to a young girl/gender-diverse person who wants to get more involved in hardcore but might feel intimidated or nervous?

KL: My advice to anyone new to the scene would be to take it slow - show up, absorb, try to

understand the dynamics, and talk to people! It’s like when you become a regular anywhere like your local coffee shop or supermarket; the more you show up and talk to people, the more they accept you as part of their group.

It’s important to not freak yourself out and convince yourself that you are on the outside. Talk

to people, take some risks; you’d be surprised how willing most people are to accept you into

the fold. And seek out other people like you - there are a few groups out there for networking like Women of the Pit, us at xSisterhoodx, and even you guys at GBTRS!

JM: A lot of times I feel as if women/gender-diverse people in hardcore are seen as just that, a non-man in the genre, and nothing else. What else are you passionate about?

KL: When I was growing up I always felt that I was seen as my boyfriend’s girlfriend or I was there for the wrong reasons. That was really frustrating for me.

As for my passions, I’m a mom with three crazy kids, ages 13, 11, and 8, two girls and a boy...none of them care about hardcore music at all. I own a small business called Just Buttons, we produce custom pin-back buttons, magnets, stickers, yard signs, and so on.

I’m fairly crafty; I like to make my own candles, soap, and bath bombs, and I also crochet. I’m a gamer, an avid reader, and have always been super passionate about straight edge.

JM: I’m glad you mentioned straight edge! Even though everyone taking part in this interview series is involved in hardcore in some way, not everyone is straight edge. Could you talk about what being straight edge means to you?

KL: Straight edge, from a high level, means that I don’t drink, smoke, or do drugs, but it’s more than a clean and sober lifestyle; it’s a way of looking at my life and the world and making the best possible decisions for me. I knew when I was a kid that I didn’t want to drink, but everyone around me was telling me that’s what people do, that’s how people unwind and have fun.

Straight edge taught me that that was bullshit, that I didn’t need to drink to fit in or make people like me, that I could be exactly who I was, no apologies. I think it’s important to reflect and ask ourselves why we are doing the things that we are doing. Does it serve us? Is it making our lives better or worse? In my case, straight edge has always been a net positive.

I also think it’s important for people like me to not judge others, but rather show them that there are alternatives to going with the flow and the status quo, that you can be your authentic self without the trappings of drugs and alcohol. You are cool, loveable, acceptable, and awesome just the way you are and you don’t need a substance to enhance it - don’t listen to anyone trying to convince you otherwise.

JM: Thank you so much again for doing this! What's next for you and for xSisterhoodx? Is there anything else you want to say?

KL: My goals include continuing the xSisterhoodx interview project and one day creating a print zine/book from the interviews. I would also love to bring on more writers, get more people involved and invested. Thank you for this opportunity!

We hope you enjoyed this conversation with Kelly Leonard as much as we enjoyed having it with her! You can keep up with her by following her on Instagram @KellySisterhood and you can keep up with all things xSisterhoodx on their Facebook @xxSisterhoodxx, Instagram @xSisterxHoodx, and their website. Keep an eye on our website for the next interview in this series, coming soon!
