The most important film in my opinion Hidden Figures should have been discussed. Such an important part of history he has not discussed. ????

I feel bad that I closely relate him to the vapid world of Chuck Lorre, but I’m glad he is living his best life. He seems really interesting.

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
