Fashion force: Forget the tech bros, this was girl power on show

Technology

I’m not sure if it was Tiffany’s hair or Melania’s hat or Lauren’s cleavage or Usha’s coat. Or maybe it was Ivanka, trussed up like a retro air hostess for her dad’s big day only to burst forth in the evening in a full rococo Audrey Hepburn-inspired gown. Perhaps it was all five of them. But one thing was certain: the inauguration of President Trump tapped into something I haven’t felt for nearly 30 years.Girl Power.Weird isn’t it, that as SPOTUS (Sex Pest of the United States) re-enters the White House and the world wrings its hands fearing the Trump presidency will set back feminism, all I could see was 90s-inspired women stepping boldly into their power. On the surface it looked like a festival of tits, tresses, triceps and tech bros. But as Lauren Sanchez in a white push-up bra distracted Mark Zuckerberg with her assets and Tiffany Trump filled half the TV screen with her macro hair, and Usha Vance channelled Amal Clooney, and Ivanka and Melania Trump battled it out for best off-the-shoulder monochrome ballgown, it wasn’t the bouffanted and backcombed new President who drew focus. Rather, like the Spice Girls reborn, a bunch of gutsy politically adjacent but powerful-in-their-own-right women owned the moment.It felt like being back in 1994 before wellness and woke and wanging on about yourself in hushed therapy-speak became the vibe and vernacular of our current age. If you half-closed your eyes you were there in the year the Spice Girls burst onto the stage and Liz Hurley stole Hugh Grant’s thunder by cantilevering her breasts with a smatter of oversized safety pins. The year Eva Herzigova seduced us with her “Hello Boys” Wonderbra campaign and the supermodels commandeered magazines and pop videos with their big hair and attitudes. Even Melania’s hat had “I don’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day” energy. This old-school IRL (in real life) event on a freezing day in Washington crystallised how fed up I am with what currently constitutes girl power, namely podcasters prattling on about being trolled and TikTok influencers obsessing about “trauma” and “triggers”. Am I the only one concerned about the victimhood mentality that’s decimating our workplaces, poisoning our social spaces and leaving young women too nervous to have children and instead obsessing over beauty products? Because they’re “safe”. Oh how badly I wish for a return to the 90s when women such as Madonna and Kylie Minogue won us over with their cheeky cone bras, hotpants and talent. When Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson et al owned and honed and monetised their image. When one of the Spice Girls pinched Prince Charles’s bottom and charmed Nelson Mandela.When Princess Diana refused to cry into her pillow and instead strode out in a black mini dress the same evening her husband revealed he’d cheated on her. These women showcased to me as a twenty-something what it was to be bold. How to work your arse off to build a career rather than manifesting it with a vision board and journaling. They showed me that ambition was nothing to be ashamed of and that my chutzpah not my upbringing would define me. Mostly they showed me that life could be crazy fun and passionate and possible, not through mindfulness but through literally filling my mind with knowledge and ideas and adventures. In the 90s you could have a big hairy notion — see the dot.com era — and it could fail spectacularly but you were nevertheless applauded for trying. These were the years when Dolly the sheep was cloned, when Pixar made the first CGI film and South Africa’s first black President united his broken nation by hosting, and winning, a Rugby World Cup as memorable now as it was 30 years ago. These days few operate with audacity because they’re too afraid of being cancelled. Which is why, whether you’re a Republican supporter or not, there’s something electrifying in the analogue power of the Trump-adjacent women. It may simply be their vibe, but there was a defiance, a sense of the regal and retro, in the force they transmitted in a sea of sloping-shouldered men who may command the titles but not necessarily the cameras. They also spanned the generations: Ivanka’s 13-year-old daughter Arabella who is fluent in Mandarin and once sang for China’s President; 31-year-old pregnant Tiffany, Trump’s only child with second wife Marla Maples, and 39-year-old lawyer and second lady Usha Vance; the 40-something politicos Ivanka and Lara Trump; and Melania and Lauren Sanchez showing that mid-50s menopause is no obstacle to a rocking body. One employed an eye-concealing, kiss-deflecting hat to signal her power, the other a white lace bra that had commentators such as Megyn Kelly claiming her outfit was inappropriate. Whatever, both women were dressing for themselves, employing emblems of modern girl power as memorable as Geri Halliwell’s famous Union Jack dress. Who knows what these women will do or if they will have any lasting influence. But we need something to spice up our lives.ANGELA LOVESSEARCH FOR TRUTH: Colin Firth is mesmeric in Lockerbie (Binge) which tells the true story of Dr Jim Swire trying to find answers following his daughter’s death in the horrific 1988 plane disaster. Compelling viewing.

Bloomsbury/Bramble

Octuplet mom Natalie Suleman and her kids have a movie coming: See them now

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

Natalie (formerly Nadya) Suleman, who gave birth to the first surviving set of octuplets in history, is once again stepping into the spotlight to share her story.A mother of 14 and grandmother to one, the 49-year-old Suleman made headlines when her children were young, but she has taken a more private approach in recent years. In a recent interview, she told People, “My family and I are taking our life back.”Suleman and the octuplets (Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah and Jeremiah) are the subjects of a Lifetime movie and docuseries: “I Was Octomom” and “Confessions of Octomom.” Both will premiere in March.Natalie Suleman with all 14 of her children.Courtesy Lifetime/Photographer Nicolette Lambright / @photobynicoletteSuleman said that the decision to return to public view did not belong to her, but to her children. She said, “I’ve been saying, I want to keep them safe and protect my kids, and well, they’re older now. They’re turning 16 and making the decision to really do this.”“The movie follows my journey, starting with my decision to have one more IVF procedure to try to complete my family of six,” Suleman told People. In that attempt to complete her family with “one more” she ended up giving birth to eight kids. Unsurprisingly, Suleman said that raising octuplets was “complete pandemonium.”Kristen Gutoskie stars in the original Lifetime movie, “I Was Octomom.”Co0urtesy LifetimeThrough it all, Suleman has done all the talking. But now it’s her kids’ turn to speak up.Suleman’s daughter Nariyah, 15, told People that she’s “very excited” for viewers to understand her mother’s point of view. She said, “I feel like it was very unfair how she was terrorized and hated for just being a mother. And she had to sacrifice so much just for her children.”Natalie Suleman says she wants to give her octuplets, and herself, a chance to tell their own story.Courtesy LifetimeFor her part, Suleman said she hopes women who may be struggling will find inspiration in her story.“I am not Octomom,” she said. “I’m a mom.”

After two romantasy hits, Rebecca Yarros needed a break. She spent it writing another book

Arts & Culture, Books

Rebecca Yarros enters the greenroom at 30 Rock with a wide smile and a promise that her purple-tipped hair had been curled before she braved the New York cold. Her two-toned hair isn’t the only thing she shares with Violet Sorrengail, the main character of her hit “Empyrean” series, which saw its third book, “Onyx Storm,” publish Jan. 21. In the first installation, “Fourth Wing,” our heroine is thrust into the cutthroat world of Basgiath, a fantasy war college, forced to give up her ambitions of recording history and instead, learn to ride a dragon. So far the romantasy series (“romance” plus “fantasy,” for the uninitiated) has seen Violet handle a brutal year at school, a burgeoning rebellion and plenty of relationship drama.But from the first chapter, it’s clear that Violet will have a markedly different experience at Basgiath compared to the other members of the Riders Quadrant. Violet experiences a chronic illness, specifically a condition that resembles Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which affects the strength of one’s joints and connective tissue, though it’s not named as such in the book.Yarros, who has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome herself, says writing Violet’s story was “cathartic” for her. Detailing how Violet was able to survive in the world of dragons and war, relying on her wits and ability to find alternate paths to success, allowed Yarros to draw parallels to how she lives day-to-day.“It was cathartic to say, ‘Hey, you can have a saddle. You can still be a rider. You just have to do it a little differently,’” she tells TODAY.com. “I can do everything that other writers can. I just have to do it differently. My legs have to be up for POTS flares. I have to support underneath my knees so that my joints don’t, you know, go all wonky on me. “It’s just knowing what accommodations I needed. And it was through writing ‘Fourth Wing’ that I found those,” she adds.Some readers say Violet has offered representation for those who experience chronic illness. And it’s difficult to overstate just how many readers of Yarros’ series there are. “Onyx Storm” is the third book in Rebecca Yarros’ “Empyrean” book series.”Fourth Wing,” which came out in April 2023, propelled Yarros to the New York Times bestseller list. As of this writing, “Fourth Wing” is No. 1 on the combined print and e-book fiction list, and it’s been on the list for 78 weeks. (Its sequel, “Iron Flame,” comes in at No. 3, with 52 weeks on the list.) On social media, specifically its bookish corners, “Onyx Storm” has been the talk of the town, with creators posting detailed recaps of the first two books, fervent theories and most importantly, their excitement to return to the world of Navarre. Yarros is on top of the book world. But before our interview, I’m met with immediate friendliness, an offer to sign my copy of her book and even passing self-deprecating jokes. (“Defeated by a microphone,” she jokes as she works to attach a mic to her shirt for the interview.) Before we start, she stares into the camera, ever the professional. But she seems to release some nerves when I tell her she can just look at me instead.”Thank you,” she says with an exhale.Rebecca Yarros is the author of “Fourth Wing,” “Iron Flame” and “Onyx Storm.”Courtesy Katie Marie SeniorsMaking magic (literally)Yarros’ “Empyrean” series is set to consist of five books total, although only three are published so far.”How they start, how they end, how Book 5 starts, how the series ends — that’s all plotted out and done,” she tells TODAY.com.When it comes time to actually write the books, Yarros says she sometimes alters course from her outline. For example, Violet facing the Gauntlet, a vertical obstacle course that riders must complete before they have a chance to bond with a dragon, was not initially part of her plan.“I was like, ‘You know, they really need to prove themselves.’ They really need to do something that’s like, ‘This is how I can ride a dragon,’” she says. “I just drew the Gauntlet, and suddenly it was — I was writing it.” The world of the “Empyrean” series is expansive, and only growing with each subsequent book. While “Fourth Wing” was primarily set at Basgiath War College, its twisty ending saw Violet’s understanding of her continent flipped on its head. She’s since encountered new lands, populations and mythical creatures.How they start, how they end, how Book 5 starts, how the series ends — that’s all plotted out and done.”
rebecca YarrosFor Yarros, every character’s “a person.”“I could clearly sit down with the entire squad right here and tell you where everyone is, where they’re sitting, what they’re wearing, what they’re doing — they’re people to me,” she says.But for the sake of organization, she keeps everyone in check via a detailed guide to the world. “I keep an extensive bible that tells you who the character is, who their dragon is, what their signet is, what has happened to them, what their body looks like, where their scars are, everything like that,” Yarros says. “I keep it all meticulously, jot it down so that my editors don’t, you know, come after me with spatulas.”The complicated love interests of the ‘Empyrean’With dragons, signets (essentially, special powers) and war, the “Empyrean” series is filled with fantasy elements. But the books are also known for their high-stakes romance and steamy scenes.Violet’s main love interest is Xaden, a rebellion leader with a tendency to keep secrets. Their story has taken a classic enemies-to-lovers arc. Fans swoon over Xaden’s intense love, but his at-times questionable decisions make him the series’ de facto “bad boy.” With plenty of story ahead, there’s a lot of room for things to change.(Warning: Major spoilers from “Fourth Wing” and “Iron Flame” ahead.) The end of “Iron Flame” marked a major turning point for Violet and Xaden. In a last ditch effort to save Violet, Xaden turned venin, meaning he gave up part of his soul for power. Up until this point, the venin had been cast as the series’ big bad, the ultimate evil as they suck humans dry of their power. With “Onyx Storm,” Yarros faced the challenge of her popular “bad boy” actually going evil. “I think as people, sometimes we see other people, and we think they are the epitome of evil, but no one takes a look to see how they get there and what drives someone to their motivations,” she says. “And I think the love of power often corrupts people. And in ‘Fourth Wing,’ it’s taking a power that turns you venin. So really it’s, yes, he’s turning there, but he did it for such a righteous purpose, and sometimes that still turns us into monsters.”Yarros says what “really fascinates” her is “knowing where our limitations are as people.””You’ve been given this gift, but can you wield it for good?” she says. “And if not, can you maintain your sanity and your morality?””Iron Flame” also introduced the potential redemption of Dain Aetos, a more controversial character. When readers first meet Dain, he’s Violet’s childhood best friend and a potential love interest. But over the course of the first book, Dain and Violet grow distant, and he eventually betrays her, choosing his life of rule-following over Violet.I already knew when I was writing ‘Fourth Wing’ and what was happening to Dain, where Dain would go in ‘Iron Flame.’”rebecca Yarros“I love Dain,” Yarros says. “And I think all 21-year-old kids are flawed. And I think especially when you take 20-year-old kids and you put them in a war college designed to beat the humanity out of them, and she’s seeing him after his first year. So, he makes mistakes.”Some of those mistakes? Insisting Violet sneak out of the Riders Quadrant for her own safety, using his power to read her memories without her knowledge and reporting what he saw.“As someone with chronic illness, we all have someone who tells us to sit down, and, ‘You can’t do that, and, ‘Be careful.’ And that person is not evil. That person is just overprotective, and (Dain) is,” Yarros says. “His biggest mistake is that when his best friend stops speaking to him, he violates her boundaries,” she adds. “But so does Xaden, and no one seems to give Xaden quite the wrap they give Dain.”In “Iron Flame,” Dain surprises Violet (and some readers) when he rescues her from an interrogation, going against the leadership he had demonstrated ultimate loyalty to. But Yarros always planned for that twist.“I already knew when I was writing ‘Fourth Wing’ and what was happening to Dain, where Dain would go in ‘Iron Flame,’ and where that scene in the interrogation chamber was going,” she says. “When you read the interrogation scene, it reads both ways. So, it reads as though he’s going to kill her, but it also reads as though he’s saying, ‘If you just trusted me last year, none of this would have happened.’”Writing ‘Onyx Storm’ and what’s nextBefore the “Empyrean” series, Yarros had mainly written romances, such as 2019’s “The Last Letter” and “Full Measures” in 2014.When she started writing “Fourth Wing,” she says she was at a point in her life where she felt unwilling to accept accommodations or limitations. She wanted to cram in 12 to 15 hours worth of writing a day, despite her body saying she shouldn’t. Writing Violet’s adaptation encouraged her to follow suit.”It was me kind of talking to myself about what I needed to do to slow down, to protect my own body,” she says. “And I think I’m finally starting to listen to it two-and-a-half years later.” While “Fourth Wing” and “Iron Flame” published just seven months apart, “Onyx Storm” didn’t hit shelves until about 14 months after the second book. Yarros needed a break — part of which she spent writing another book.Yarros says she felt she needed to prove to herself she could write another book, so she went back to her roots and drafted a contemporary romance called “Variation,” which published in October 2024. It was me kind of talking to myself about what I needed to do to slow down, to protect my own body. And I think I’m finally starting to listen to it two-and-a-half years later.”
rebecca Yarros“That really set my feet back down. It reminded me, ‘Hey, you can write a book. You can do this.’ And then I went into ‘Onyx,'” she says.As for what she can share about the series’ fourth book? Not much.With every book, Yarros says she makes a playlist to guide her through the novel. On Jan. 21, she released the playlist she made for writing and editing “Onyx Storm.”Yarros says she’s already made the fourth book’s playlist. However, she doesn’t want to share any of the songs on the playlist.”I think it would scare everyone,” she says.Yarros did reveal, however, that her usual muse Taylor Swift makes some necessary appearances on the playlist.”Oh, obviously Taylor Swift,” she says. “That was the first song that went on there is a Taylor Swift song.” “I can tell you, it’s off of ‘TTPD’ (‘The Tortured Poets Department’),” she adds.

Mark Wahlberg explains why he ‘apologized’ to his ‘Flight Risk’ cast after filming

Arts & Culture, Film & TV

Mark Wahlberg needed a lot of solo time on his latest movie set.

The 53-year-old star portrays a hit man pretending to be a pilot whose targets are U.S. Marshal Madelyn (Michelle Dockery) and fugitive Winston (Topher Grace) in the new thriller “Flight Risk.”

Wahlberg revealed he took a new approach to getting into character.

“I was locked into the part the whole time. So if we weren’t shooting, I was like either off in the corner by myself or I just would kind of go back to my little dressing room and just sit there,” he told People in an interview published on Friday.

The last time Wahlberg took on the on the villain role was in 1996’s “Fear,” opposite Reese Witherspoon.

“I was like the guy who was like constantly picking at them, poking them and prodding them, you know, from the back of the plane the whole entire time,” the star continued. “I apologized at the end because I wasn’t very engaging off camera or outside of shooting, but I was just in [that] head space. We only had 22 days of shooting.”

“So it wasn’t four months, five months of this. We shot it very quickly,” added Wahlberg.

The Oscar winner also reflected on where he drew his bad-guy inspiration from.

“I’ve been saying over and over how much I love movies like ‘The Shining’ with [Jack Nicholson] and ‘In The Line of Fire’ with [John Malkovich] and ‘Cape Fear’ with [Robert] De Niro. Those are the kind of characters that I always loved and gravitated towards, and I hadn’t done it in such a long time.”

Wahlberg noted, “I don’t know, I just kept all these ideas popping into my head about how I would play that particular role.”

“Flight Risk” is directed by Mel Gibson with the actors previously working together in “Father Stu” (2022), and 2017’s “Daddy’s Home 2.” 

But this project will mark the first time Wahlberg is starring in a movie with Gibson, 69, on the other side of the camera.

In June, Wahlberg spoke to People about his decision to act in a movie directed by the “Boneyard” vet.

This image released by Lionsgate shows Topher Grace in a scene from “Flight Risk.” AP

“He knew exactly what he wanted and how to get it, but he was also open to collaborating,” Wahlberg explained.

Gibson’s last directorial film, 2016’s “Hacksaw Ridge,” received two Academy Awards and several nominations.

“Again, to be shooting 15, 20 pages a day, something that I had never done before. I’ve shot down ‘n dirty, but, like 30 days was the fastest I’d ever done a film,” Wahlberg continued. “This was in 20 or 22 days.”

“Having seen ‘Apocalypto’ a million times and ‘Braveheart’ and every other film that he’s directed, he’s such a talented filmmaker,” he gushed. “It was one of those things where, between the part and to getting to work with the filmmaker, for me it’s always top of the list: the script, the director and the part are the three main components when making a choice.”

Local Business: Unadilla contractor’s business is building

Business News

Unadilla native Hunter Wilms is transforming homes, blending family-inspired craftsmanship with a commitment to quality through Wilms Contracting since 2020.Wilms, 26, said building was in his blood.“My dad actually inspired me,” he said. “He’s been doing contracting since he was 20 and he’s now 59, so he’s done it for almost 50 years, and my uncle Roger did construction as well for his whole life and built a lot of the places in Oneonta — Buffalo Wild Wings, Panera. It was just seeing their work, growing up, and my dad built the house that we grew up in, so that really inspired me to want to start my own business and get into the trade.”
Wilms said he offers “a little bit of everything.”“I’m strictly residential — I don’t want to get into the commercial work — and I would say I specialize in bathroom and kitchen remodels,” he said, “and I do complete new constructions, (including) porches, decks, additions.“I do Delaware, Otsego and Chenango counties,” Wilms continued. “It really depends on the size of the job, but I’ll travel based on if it’s worth it for me to. I do a lot of exterior work, summertime and springtime into fall. That’s the peak of my busy time and demand is definitely higher for exterior work.”Wilms said he also has become known for his tile work.“Not a lot of contractors around here get into tile,” he said. “There’s separate people that are specialized in tile that (other contractors) will sub out, but I get a lot of referrals from customers I’ve worked for.”
