[@XxKLVSxX]

Idk the Fergie reference so I’m sorry I can’t be in the next 400 but my thoughts on that bottle is that it looks like it says “Emma’s tripe shampoo” which I really hope it isn’t that because wtf 😂

[@shannonceleste5557]

Don’t worry Jaime I’ve got you covered with my barrage of random comments throughout this movie bc 1) alone on New Years 2) this was my favorite movie when I was little 3)… like tons of other reasons I’m sure

[@alanefideler7234]

I know right? I definitely got it right away, everyone LOVED Ferguson Jenkins. Clearly the writers were big fans of America's pastime

[@frankieffbaby]

I didn’t understand the Fergie reference until I was an adult

[@autumnasters]

I've talked to so many black women who fondly reall Scary Spice being one of their first natural hair representations when they were children. I still wear bantu knots because of her

[@DavidKen878]

As a woman, can you explain why you guys always talk about needing to see a represention of yourselves through celebrities? I don't mean to be rude, I'm just curious why. Literally everytime I see someone say it, it's either a Black woman saying it about childhood or an overweight White woman talking about now. But it confuses me because I never see men say that or understood why anyone would feel that way. As a black male, I saw plenty of other Black men on TV. Even if I didn't, I knew what channels and shows to go to to see them. But again, I never felt like I needed anyone to represent me. So I wasn't actually looking. Reading your comment, I just want to get insight from you. Did you feel you needed someone to be/look like? But also did that person have to be cool/really famous because there's no way Scary Spice, a woman from Britain, was the first person with natural hair anyone could've seen.

[@amber_meza]

@@DavidKen878 While I’m not an AA Woman, nor an overweight Caucasian woman, but I’m Latina and I always wondered up until I was maybe 14 or so why didn’t the actresses that I saw most often look anything like me. I don’t think women NEED to have representation via celebrities but think about how impressionable young people are and if they only see Caucasian women in movies, tv, or whatever it may be they might be like why isn’t there someone that looks like me, whether it be skin color, body shape, hair type, physical anomaly, whatever.. For example if someone was trying to sell hair products that are made for AA Women and their specific hair type, I don’t think having a Caucasian woman trying to promote it would make much sense. Or an AA or Latina woman trying to sell the Caucasian woman a certain shade of makeup, the Caucasian lady would most likely wanna see it on someone that matched her shade range so she could see how it would look on her.. just my thoughts 💭

[@DavidKen878]

@@amber_meza Did you really think that as a kid or is that something you believe you felt looking back? I hear child all the time talk about how unpretty they think they are. But never have a heard a child wonder why they aren't seeing MORE people who look like them on TV. That's usually something only an adult would say to point out discrimination. It's more logical for a child to point out the lack of people who look like them then to point out how there isn't enough.

[@amber_meza]

@@DavidKen878 I think for me I felt that way because where I grew up it was all white people. Until I was in high school there were only 3 of us that weren’t white.. even in our graduating class there were 4. I’d assume it would be the same for a person in a wheelchair or something along those lines.. it’s not necessary to have the representation but I’m sure it’s nice to see

[@DavidKen878]

@@amber_meza when you put it like that, it makes sense. But it still doesn't explain why it's women who say it and not men. For you, was it a beauty thing or did it have to do with your self-esteem?

The Fergie they mention is, Sarah Ferguson. She was married to Prince Andrew (yeah, THAT guy) but divorced him in the 90s. She was later photographed having her toes sucked while on holiday on a beach by her new lover. Very scandalous and was all over the English tabloids at the time. I think they're just playing on that because it happened before '97.

[@elleg4093]

my strongest memory of this movie is the trailer where one says “hold on to your knickers, girls!” but that line/scene was cut and I was so upset we didn’t get to see it that I’m still talking about it 25 years later

[@emilyd.6371]

was that the scene when Posh pulls up her dress and it makes a ripping noise? they didn't put that in the film either.

That line is still in the movie though - Posh says it when she's driving the bus and about to jump over the bridge.

[@tonichan89]

I LOVE those girls so much. Especially Geri/Ginger. She got a lot of flak for not being trained in music and dance as the other girls, and they needed to simplify their dance routines for her... but she was such a great performer. She was creative, charming, FUN, fashionable, she came off to me like she had an integrity about who she was, and yet had a vulnerability to her. Just a very strong personality. It was clear she had a vision. I found her very relatable even as I was just an 8-year-old kid. Don't get me started how she was *actually fat-shamed* by the media. (But I'm actually gonna start on it, lol) She was seen as 'chubby' by a lot of people back then... which is just bizarre, especially now when I, as an adult, look at pictures of her. She was normal! I'd even call her slim. Yet I've vague memories of 'body-checking' her in pictures and videos, feeling like I had to 'check' if she was actually 'chubby'. Since I related to her so much, and hadn't thought she was chubby until I heard others say it, I felt very defensive about it. The 90s and 00s truly were wild about weight, and I definitely have some internalized (though quiet) fatphobia from all that, towards myself and others. It's hard to get rid of those feelings because it was installed so early and it is messed UP. I'm acknowledging it more actively lately and I'm hoping that with time and self-awareness it will fade.

[@compulsiverambler1352]

All I remember was the relentless skinny-shaming of Victoria and if it was anorexia nervosa as they alleged, then also hateful mental health ableism, that Victoria got for years, at least in the tabloids. Probably because I didn't start reading the tabloids in my house until I was eight years old and then for a few years after that when I grew out of them (lol), so what I remember reading must have mostly been the era after the Spice Girls when Victoria and David were at peak relevance and scrutiny by the press.

The legend himself Richard O' Brian, as the creepy photographer, not only wrote and directed one of the biggest, campest, musicals of all time, Rocky Horror Picture Show, also played Riff Raff in the movie adaptation and created one of THE best interactive team games on TV - Crystal Maze.

I watched this whole thing hoping you’d make the same connection I made like 2 years ago that made me feel SO good bc it was like everything finally made sense and it’s also the reason meatloaf is in it probably: The reason this movie is the way it is is because it’s directed by Richard O’Brien, the creator and director of Rocky Horror who plays the bald paparazzi in the movie and riffraff in rhps

Also, Fergie in this contex is the Duchess of York - Prince Andrew's ex.
