a hypebeast is a person with a specific vibe not a piece of media

I truly think the ‘Amanda Knox is doing stand up about her dead roommate’ was pure lies fed by a journalist to Meredith Kercher’s family to manufacture outrage. Which is absolutely shameful, as it was completely untrue

I love that she mentions that clowns occupy special positions in strange times. I recently went to Giffords Circus (UK, highly ethical), which was packed to the gills and quite magical.

The musical Hole knocked my socks off for its originality. And speaking of clowns, Japanese Grandma Funeral was a punch in the gut in a good way. (Agree with the Amanda Knox sentiment, glad I got to see it.)
