Sometimes I wonder if I'm strange because I'm a woman with a number of male friends from high school, college, and grad school, we've always been just friends, it's never been weird, there was never any question of romance, we went to each other's weddings and were happy for each other and are now friends with each other's spouses, too. I literally can't remember having seen this dynamic in any work of fiction outside of like, The Muppet Show. Are most people just randomly horny about literally every member of the opposite sex they meet and very short-sighted about who they decide to flirt with? Or is this some weird thing where fiction doesn't reflect real life at all and writers only bother writing male/female friends if they're going to use it to inject some drama when the plot lags, because "seriously, actually friends" is boring on paper even though it happens all the time?

LOL if Max Factor wasn't destined to found a beauty brand when he was born he definitely was the second his parents gave him that name. I had no idea it wasn't just a marketing phrase like "Ultra Luxe" or "Va-Va-Volume!" or "Glamwow" or something.

I made 4 different people take me to the theater to see this on 4 different occasions the summer it came out when I was 12. I haven't seen it since, but that summer I LOVED it. Looking forward to rewatching it with my daughter when she's a little older to see how it holds up. It's still about as scary a movie as I can handle, ha.
