The Ronnequin thinks he's Keith Richards. Let's just leave it at that!

And while his personal style may not be my preference, it is just that -- a personal style choice. He does love the ponchos and beads and scarves.

His face, however -- I must admit. I'm no fan of his rotten acting. But that man is almost wrinkle-free. He has great skin and cheekbones. I don't know whether it is genes or a surgeon but for 50, he doesn't look it.

Range, I was just thinking, I would LOVE, just LOVE to see a video of Brenda in all her glory, from "Red Carpet Madness" to "Welcome to My Home," with Lady Gaga's "Fashion" playing in the background. The shots of Brenda in her closet would be stellar! When you hear "I need some new stilettos," you see Brenda reaching for her red hooker boots. :lol: :lol: :lol:

And then the caption of "Where am I supposed to by my 11 boxes of wardrobe??????" across the screen!

I think sheilaforever hits the nail on the head with Susan Flannery. Weight has never been her issue. She was only ever thin for the first two years of B&B but still remained a striking, glamorous, feminine woman through most of the 1990s.

It was the cancer that really knocked it out of her. Her hair is much too thin to grow out and combined with being 70 years old she probably isn't comfortable with tottering about in the kind of heels she used to wear.

BUT, the problem seems to be that there is no middle ground. No compromise. Susan won't wear a wig, fine. She likes the suits...okay. She'll only wear hush puppies...hmm. While the wig is a concession that I can live with, it seems to me that there is absolutely no attempt made to work with the limitations. I don't know whether she really refuses to be styled in any way whatsoever or the costume designers can't be bothered.

Even back to 5 or 6 years ago, there was still an element of feminity to the character. The suits were jazzed up with scarves and blouses or different cuts. The makeup was much more striking. Even the shoes were more flats or low heels than slippers.

I think it's a betrayal to the character that she's been turned into a complete frump because that is not remotely who Stephanie Forrester is or was. And it's not about age or size. Any mildly fashion conscious older woman wouldn't be seen dead leaving the house like Stephanie Forrester. I suspect not even Susan Flannery which makes me point the finger more towards the stylists.

I suspect it's these stupid stylists at the bottom of alot of this. I am so OVER all the tweezing, buffing, and waxing of many of the men on daytime... that's what makes men like Engen and Howarth so HOT... they haven't had all the raw masculine sexuality sucked out of them by some overzealous makeup artist and their damn brazilian wax kit! ( Who remembers that shower scene with Brian Gaskill on B&B?....WOW!! no wax needed!) And incidentally... Howarth's hair is the most DIVINE thing I've ever seen right now, he needs to be starring in a breck commercial, and NOW.

IMO, the most naturally beautiful and exquisite actress in daytime over the last 20 or so years was definitely, definitely, definitely Ms. Tamara Tunie. She just turned 50 and looks at least a hundred times better than many actresses younger than her (Hunter T! Talking to you!).

    • LMAO this is the funniest hill I'll die on. Here is what I'm saying ⬇

      The shoulders and sleeves are too tight. He'd benefit from a larger size. The yellow arrows show where the shoulder cut should actually be placed in my opinion. I don't mind the granpa fashion per se, I just have an OCD with sizes LOL
    • Today May 11, 2025, Pope Leo briefly addressed the crowd in the square.  He sang the prayer to Mary and then said:   Dear brothers and sisters, The immense tragedy of the Second World War ended eighty years ago, on 8 May, after having claimed sixty million victims. In today’s dramatic scenario of a piecemeal third world war, as Pope Francis stated many times, I too address the world’s leaders, repeating the ever-timely appeal: “Never again war!”. I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, as soon as possible. Let all the prisoners be freed and the children return to their own families. I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip: may there be an immediate ceasefire! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the stricken civil population, and let all the hostages be freed. On the other hand, I have welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting accord may be reached soon. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/angelus/2025/documents/20250511-regina-caeli.html
    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
    • re: prior two posts about Trump's new opulent plane contrasted with utter starvation in Gaza... Trump and Netanyahu are giving "Let them eat cake".  And it's horrific. In 2013, Pope Francis removed a bishop from running the Limburg Germany diocese because he was constructing an opulent 31-million-euro building. This is from Reuters obit of Francis: https://www.reuters.com/world/obituary-pope-francis-shook-up-church-with-simplicity-raising-conservative-ire-2025-04-21/ From the start, Francis sent clear signals to priests and bishops about the type of Church he wanted. He said there was no room for "careerists or social climbers" among the clergy, told cardinals they should not live "like princes," and said the Church should not "dissect theology" in lush salons while there were poor people around the corner. "If investments in banks fall, it is a tragedy and people say 'what are we going to do?' but if people die of hunger, have nothing to eat or suffer from poor health, that's nothing. This is our crisis today. A Church that is poor and for the poor has to fight this mentality," he said early in his papacy. -- Pope Francis stood up for the poor, the unhoused, the migrants of all faiths.  He lived simply and ordered that when he died, that he wished to be interred in a simple wooden coffin. I sincerely hope that the new pope Leo will follow Francis' example.
    • Co Sign!!!!   I have been watching the show regularly over the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to watch each day. This definitely is confirmation for me that Paula and Jeanne wrote the stroke episodes, cause I felt the same way watching those. Could be more exciting for sure, but interactions now make more sense and everything seems to be a bit more character driven which is great. I will add though, there are still about 10 or so characters i'd love to see gone, and hope a few will exit in the future! Otherwise, happy with the changes so far. 
    • Sean Freeman looks good in anything. Would not change one thing. Arielle Prepetit looking cute.

    • There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrv5rl73zdo Quoting excerpts from BBC article: The baby's mother Najwa, 23, is changing Siwar's nappy. She weighs just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be around or over 6kg. "There was no food when I gave birth to her," says Najwa. "If I wanted to feed myself so I could breastfeed her, I had no nutrients to make my health better... She now only drinks formula milk, and we don't know how we'll be able to provide it for her." Israel has banned international journalists from entering Gaza to report independently. According to Siwar's doctor, Ziad al-Majaida, "Nothing enters through the borders, no milk, food or anything. This leads to big problems here for the kids. This baby needs a specific type of milk. It was available before, but because of the border closure, the stocks have run out for a while now." Since the beginning of the year, according to the UN, about 10,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children have been identified. Food prices have rocketed by as much as 1,400%. Charity kitchens, which have helped hundreds of thousands of Gazans, are shutting as food supplies run out. Twenty-five bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have been forced to close. Israel cut off all humanitarian aid and other supplies from entering Gaza on 2 March, and resumed its military offensive two weeks later The United Nations has said the Israeli blockade constitutes "a cruel collective punishment" on civilians. The UN's humanitarian director, former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, said that international law was unequivocal. "As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in... Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip," he warned. From the BBC reporter: I put this point to Boaz Bismuth, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. He (Bismuth) denies there is an aid crisis caused by the blockade. "There is food in Gaza... Israel wouldn't do such a restriction if the population didn't have food. I mean, I know my country perfectly well," he (Bismuth) said. BBC reporter: I put it to Bismuth that he was denying the evidence of people's eyes, that children were starving. "There are not starving children. I repeat again." He (Bismuth) said that there had been allegations months ago of famine, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza "which was crap". ----  ----  ---- A UK-based advocacy group for Israel has the nerve to claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/10/uk-lawyers-for-israel-condemned-over-claim-war-may-reduce-obesity-in-gaza
