Anya Taylor-Joy’s new miniseries, Lucky, debuted the first two episodes on Apple TV+ yesterday. You know I’m watching this series because it co-stars my forever love Timothy Olyphant, but Lucky has not captured me the way Widow’s Bay did. I will watch Lucky, yes, but my more immediate priority is re-watching Widow’s Bay and examining every background detail for more island lore. The paintings tell the story!

Anyway, back to ATJ. She is hitting the press circuit hard to promote the show, including three outfit changes today. First up is a sheer skirt and metallic top and given how hot it is right now, I’m not nit picking any of it, because at least it’s heat-appropriate, but this is not my favorite.

Much cuter is her next ensemble, a bikini top and floral skirt. Long sleeves? But it actually balances the top nicely, and I love the color combinations. Very fun and summery and it all looks great with her trademark platinum hair. I also dig that necklace.

Finally, her third and so far final outfit of the day, pants and a sleeveless top. It’s very “I’m taking lunch”.

Like Zendaya, Anya isn’t done with publicity, she will also be on the Dune: Part Three press tour in December. This after already promoting The Super Mario Bros. Galaxy Movie earlier this year, and now Lucky. You know, with so many people promoting multiple projects this year, it’s starting to feel like we’re only casting the same four people in everything. Hm. Something to consider, perhaps.

On another note, air quality is garbage across much of northern North America due to the wildfires currently burning in Canada. Be safe, take care of yourself, and here are some resources to support relief efforts, if you can.


What else happened today…

Who will be bold enough to wear something from Ronald van der Kemp’s new couture collection? (Go Fug Yourself)

Governments gotta stop getting involved in the World Cup. It’s the least fun aspect of this year’s tournament, and yes, I include my president in that. Just let those guys play football and flop, politicians gotta stop whinging about every little thing. (Celebitchy)

Kayleigh Donaldson asks, “Would you pay $50 million for this dinosaur skeleton?” Kayleigh, why are you even asking, you KNOW me, you KNOW I would if I had $50 million! All I’ve ever WANTED is a dinosaur skeleton! Every time I browse mansions online, I am imagining where I will put my dinosaur skeleton. Though I must say, what I really want isn’t a T-Rex skeleton, it’s an Archaeopteryx. It’s the parrot of the dinosaurs! I would hang it from the ceiling over my dining room table, obviously.
