I asked both of them about what is often spoken of as their “engagement.”

Gore: “Joanne and I were nearly married, but that was at her insistence and based entirely upon her passion not for me but Paul. Paul was taking his time divorcing his first wife, and Joanne calculated that the possibility of our marriage would give him the needed push. It did.”  

Joanne: At one point we decided we were engaged. I can’t remember if Paul and I had broken up or not—it doesn’t matter. Either Gore’s mother or his grandmother was concerned because he hadn’t gotten married. We pretended that we were having an affair or something. We got a kick out of it, because it was in the newspaper. I couldn’t see Gore and me getting married—oh, heavens—but we did have a great time together. Gore, Howard, Paul, and I had one of those rare life experiences where we shared special, special times. I certainly miss those times.” 

-Vanity Fair

In the piece, Joanne Woodward recalls pretending to have an affair with Vidal, who was gay, as a way of placating his family and perhaps as cover for her relationship with the not-quite-divorced Paul Newman. - Los Angeles Times

And the rest is a wonderful love story…

Joanne Woodward and her husband, Paul Newman, were among Vidal’s most intimate friends for six decades. Here, on one of their many trips to Italy, circa 1980, they are with Vidal on a boat taking them to his cliffside house in Ravello. 

Dear John Bell Anon,

You are clearly unfamiliar with British culture, and that includes humor. Irony ran fast to catch up with you - but you were faster, it would seem.

S was trolling everyone, yesterday evening. Including Madam Mao, who then felt compelled to bring back her Emo/Goth/Victorian (your pick) Virtuous Mourning number. And heavily push it forward on her socials, using again that little girl, albeit this time in a narrative fashion only. Because there is nothing left to try than passive-aggressive moralizing, when everything else failed miserably. Buried under an endless cascade of international giggles over Dashne's adventures of yore, especially considering the eerie resemblance of said adventures to her current gig romance BS.

Madam Mao's rationale being that you'd have to be a monster to comment on the authenticity of a woman's grief, and even more so when it includes a little girl. But since there is nothing private, nor organic about it, we are free to question. That does not make us monsters - only aware.

By the same token, all the fandom factions are now apparently well fed, for days. Including yours.

Things are very different, as far as C is concerned. And this reality seems to bother you so much, that you felt the urge to come back here and lecture me.

Respectfully fuck off.

Wow. Brilliant British humor move, here. Many will misread it at first degree and face value - but I don't think S cares. Brilliant screenshot of that particular picnic hamper only clarifies things.

*stocks on 🍿🍿🍿🍿*

Dear Went Private Anon,

We did and I will re-upload them accordingly, in their respective posts. It's interesting to see both corporate You Tube accounts reacted almost in real time to this fandom's lèse-majesté mischief. Which consisted in sharing public, commercial content, made for public distribution and asking some questions - nothing more. I hope we won't be held responsible for the laughs: that comes sugar on top, perhaps, but I believe it was sort of inevitable.

I will say only this: why this -admittedly strange - scrubbing effort? Why the insecurity?

And again: who could have had the leverage to do such a thing in such an expedite manner?

Last, but not least: I hope they realize they replaced a blast from the past with a smear from the present. Maybe not the best solution.

Adding to the other clip that mystified many readers (https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/817733490243207168/just-so-storiesany-similarity-to-actual-persons), this morning, and for a bit of extra context, the one Marple found - with all credits given, of course:

The Cashelor is an obvious spoof on The Bachelor reality show format. Part of Your Two Cents, a wider advertisement campaign devised by the Atlantic Credit Unions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What is perhaps even more eerie, is - as I mentioned in the other post - Daisy Anne's striking resemblance to Flukenzie Floozy.

You can't make this shite up. Seriously.

Leaving this here, for the sake of science:

Circa 2022.

Your Two Cents # advertisement campaign is not my initial find, and I must give credit to Marple. But this clip is even more monumental than the one she posted. Somewhat.

First, a Happy Memorial Day to all American friends!

Second, you’d think it was a stat holiday for me today considering the amount of investigating I managed to complete. I feel slightly weird about undertaking this, as it’s definitely a first for me. But considering the amount of interviews we had over the last little while I thought I’d clear up some locations.

1. Sunset Tower Hotel

From pictures from the Sunset Tower Hotel website this looks like a suite.

Hotel is close to the Sunset Strip and in the general vicinity of the next location.

2. Bird Streets Villa

Here we have a historic old Hollywood Spanish style home that is often used for film and photoshoots.

This was the location for the Entertainment Weekly interviews among others, including this one ⬇️

From the links listed on the property Instagram you can see a different angle of this bedroom here:

3. Mystery (Sam’s) Location

This one is a little bit of a mystery.

However, after the FYC event on Friday, May 15th Sam was tagged in what appeared to be the backyard of this (or another) location before the event by either his stylist or someone else else who is apart of his entourage. But the tag now appears to be gone, or I can’t find it.

From the photo you can see the dark fencing in the background so was this AN’s place before he moved? I’m not so well versed on his LA lodgings. The tagged photo had a similar exterior shot as this ⬇️

So what does this all mean?

First, the couple's therapy video finally surfaces and resonates so strongly that even casual fans are commenting on the two of them. The details are scrutinized—the glances, the touches, the words. Then, someone here on Tumblr draws attention to a specific GIF he chose to repost. This came up in a post by Bat, and I commented that things were bound to become unbearable for the poor, insecure gf, and that she would feel compelled to do something about it. The response arrived (her insecurity never disappoints): a dog wearing sunglasses (a few years back, we had a dog wearing a cap). Someone on Tumblr then pointed out that the sunglasses weren't actually identical, and... *ta-da!*... he reposted the photo of the dog in sunglasses. The most interesting part of all this—aside from the confirmation that she actually reads Tumblr—is realizing just how much SC gets under her skin. How deeply insecure and unhappy it makes her to know that a significant number of people who see SC together can sense something between them—something so powerful that, no matter how hard she tries to appear relevant to him, she will never be able to evoke that same effect in others. Sometimes the stars align... And sometimes, someone thinks they can *force* the stars into alignment, forgetting that stars possess a light of their own. The brilliance of a star is generated deep within its core through a process known as nuclear fusion. The temperatures and pressures involved are so extreme that hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium. This transformation releases a colossal amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which then travels across the vastness of space until it reaches our eyes. You cannot manufacture that. The light she has been attempting to project simply doesn't work—because it is, quite simply, something that cannot be intentionally fabricated.

Man, oh man! Couple's Therapy videos and photos are all over social media! Fans asked for it for so long and now they (we!) are eating it up like chocolate cake!! Josh must be in heaven!! Funny thing is, with these, people are "suddenly" aware of their chemistry and asking about it?!  Some were chatting about it as "coming out of the cave"!! Others are questioning, changing their opinions, all over these particular set of videos and pics. (Great seguey!) It so happens over the last couple of weeks I spent a lot of time going through S/C photos to use in different post. In the process it became one great big rabbit hole! I went through different archives on here, my own photo gallery, Pinterest, and of course Google. I have gone through photos before of them but never as many as this. Several things became TOTALLY clear. I feel it is worth the extra time it will take reading this.

First, those who are long standing, faithful shippers. Over the years I have heard stories, seen photos of events, and got some real tea on the darling couple! Going through many archives was so enjoyable. Not only did it connect some dots for me, but it made me appreciate the hard work you all put in over the years! You have endured ups and downs and left a great trail for others like myself to visit. It truly felt calming (?!) and fun going through and seeing SO MUCH history of our couple/Outlander. The second half of that subject is for the non-believers or fence-riders. If you are either of those, I'm suggesting you take the trip I did through 12 years of photo history of the Outlander world and Caitriona and Sam. When you really start tracking ALL of it from the very beginning, to now, you begin to see something not so average. Not so normal for a television cast. It's ... more. Just more. Don't believe in shippers? Not sure of some aspect of the Cait/Sam relationship stories? I challenge you. Really dig from many sources. Follow their journey year by year. You will see something that doesn't fall under typical costar behavior or appearance. Even being a shipper myself, following the whole story like I did was enlightening! Just give it a try. Yes, I know things can change. Yes, I know there are pictures and videos out there that show other S.O.'s on both parties. But here's the thing. With those, there is no whole picture. You have bits and pieces. Plus, if you have gone through the complete history like I mentioned, you will notice that with the S.O.'s, there is so much missing. No comparison to what you see in the 12 years of S/C. Not even close. Think of it like a recipe. You want to use all the ingredients and not just pick and choose only what you feel like. It's ALL those ingredients together that make your product. It's the same with them. Gather all of it. Look at all of it as a whole. That's where you see a beautiful work of art. A beautiful couple. ❤️❤️❤️

now he didn't need to use a gif of them kissing out of all the outlander GIFs there are but he did which is odd if he's in a committed relationship with another woman. You don't see other actors promoting their work by doing that
