‘People didn’t like women in space’: how Sally Ride made history and paid the price

-
Ride was the first US woman in space – but a National Geographic documentary looks at how she was forced to hide her queerness to succeed A week before Sally – a documentary about the first American woman to fly into space – landed at the Sundance film festival in January, Nasa employees received emails informing them how Donald Trump’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) rollbacks would take effect. Contracts and offices associated with DEI programs were to be terminated. Staff were given Orwellian instruction to inform the government of any attempt to disguise inclusion efforts in “coded or imprecise language”. In the weeks to follow, Nasa would take back its promise to send the first woman and person of color to the moon’s surface. Meanwhile, employees are reported to be hiding their rainbow flags and any other expressions of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, allegedly because they were instructed to do so though Nasa denies those claims.

Kim Kardashian Treated Her Followers To A Very Seductive Sneak Preview Of The Newest Additions To Her SKIMS Swim Line

-
Regardless of what the media said about her, Kim Kardashian has always been proud of her curves. The celebrity acknowledged that she was intently examining press pieces about herself at the same time in one of her interviews. In order to avoid reading about how her figure had changed in publications after her pregnancies, the star tried to go to as few social gatherings as she could. Kim now has every right to be pleased with himself, though. She notably dropped weight in order to fit into the fabled Marilyn Monroe garment. Some stories claim that the famous mother of many children even diminished the size of her hips and buttocks. She now occasionally posts images of herself wearing scant clothing and a swimsuit. And incidentally, the sales of the Kim brand successfully reflect this. Now, there are significantly more individuals interested in purchasing new lines of underwear or swimwear when she promotes them herself. So, Kardashian recently put several new models to the test herself. It should be mentioned that Kim took the development of a swimwear collection quite logically. Available are alternatives there for girls who want to chill and don't want to reveal too much of their naked bodies, as well as for those who want to showcase their sporting prowess on the beach. By the way, looked like a micro-bikini, which was quite remarkable. True, a starlike shape was scarcely retained. The swimsuits Kim tried are scheduled to go on sale on June 28 and range in price from $36 to $108. SKIMS is a business that makes underwear, loungewear, and shapewear that was co-founded in 2019 by Jens Grede and Kim Kardashian. SKIMS engages in direct sales via its website SKIMS.com, as well as through selective alliances with retailers like Nordstrom, Selfridges, SSENSE, Net-a-Porter, Lane Crawford, Holt Renfrew, and David Jones.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
