Hello, classic crew, and welcome to today's episode of The Scoop.
00:00:06.760
If you are new to my channel, The Scoop is our opportunity to just catch up, chat about
00:00:11.480
what went on over the course of the week, talk about what's going on in our lives, and
00:00:15.020
act as if we're just grabbing a cup of coffee together.
00:00:17.420
And there's always some fun things going on in the world.
00:00:20.140
It's kind of an opportunity to talk about things that are happening in the zeitgeist
00:00:23.480
and also just things that I've been doing and enjoying.
00:00:26.200
I love hearing what you guys have been up to, so please leave that in the comments.
00:00:34.360
Have some tea or just some water, whatever you are drinking, and let's get into it.
00:00:39.120
The first thing I want to talk about today is something that kind of went viral on Twitter,
00:00:44.700
and that was Harry Styles in a dress on the cover of Vogue.
00:00:55.340
So basically what happened is that Candace Owens commented on the fact that Harry Styles
00:00:59.900
was in a dress, and so did a few other commentators on Twitter, and it kind of blew up.
00:01:06.300
Now, as somebody who really values masculinity and finds masculinity very attractive, I don't
00:01:17.240
And this is something that kind of became part of the joke, is that people were saying,
00:01:21.720
oh my gosh, Harry Styles in a dress is just my type.
00:01:30.880
As somebody who loves the fact that my husband is a man and is masculine, seeing a man in
00:01:41.820
The thing about it is that I think that masculinity is actually really important.
00:01:46.500
I think that men need to embrace the best parts of masculinity, right?
00:01:50.700
Masculinity, just like femininity, can be directed in the worst possible directions, but
00:01:55.460
it can also be directed in the best possible directions.
00:01:57.980
And it's so important to embrace the best parts of masculinity and of femininity, right?
00:02:04.220
Women want men who are going to protect them, and that protective instinct is a masculine
00:02:22.280
Men don't belong in dresses because men should be men.
00:02:25.180
It's a good thing for men to be men, not to be the worst version of men, but to be good,
00:02:33.520
The best version of masculinity is refining it and elevating it.
00:02:39.060
Not having masculinity at all would be a real loss to us as women.
00:02:42.980
The whole idea of toxic masculinity really bothers me because the word toxic implies that
00:02:48.840
masculinity in and of itself is poisonous, and it's not.
00:02:52.160
Masculinity is a great thing when it's directed properly.
00:02:55.900
But just like anything, masculinity can be an idol.
00:02:58.640
So saying that masculinity has a really important role in men's lives is something that we should
00:03:05.420
And I know that strictly from the perspective of am I attracted to a man who would put on
00:03:12.260
Next up, let's talk about something that happened that was peak 2020, and it was really funny.
00:03:18.040
It went viral on the internet, and it was the Rockefeller tree.
00:03:22.300
The Rockefeller tree is that huge tree that goes up, and it is beautiful every year.
00:03:32.820
They took the Rockefeller tree, and as it started to go up, some of the branches started falling.
00:03:39.020
And it was really funny because, of course, in 2020, even the Rockefeller tree is gonna
00:03:47.340
It has been a hard year, and apparently the Rockefeller tree got the message.
00:03:53.080
Next up, I want to talk about the Netflix movie, Holiday.
00:04:00.300
It has Emma Roberts in one of the starring roles.
00:04:07.020
So basically, the premise is that there are these two main characters.
00:04:13.740
So instead, they decide that they're going to use each other as actual dates to attend
00:04:21.340
And then they don't have to bring somebody home or worry about kind of the dating aspect
00:04:26.920
So they just have somebody to bring to the big events in their lives with their families,
00:04:39.300
So number one is that if you are trying to figure out the perfect things not to do to
00:04:49.100
Emma Roberts' character is just—honestly, it's sad.
00:04:52.120
It's sad for her because she seems like somebody who may have bought into the kind of narrative
00:04:58.040
that I talked about in my last video of happiness comes from accepting kind of your worst qualities,
00:05:10.280
And it's just kind of sad to watch her that way.
00:05:15.080
And then people, I'm sure, would respond saying, okay, well, isn't her family the one that's
00:05:20.140
But the family can be wrong and she can be wrong.
00:05:23.640
Her family has a lot of issues in and of itself.
00:05:26.500
Her mom is kind of pressuring her and just kind of—I mean, clearly her mom has issues
00:05:30.740
in one scene where she kind of just makes it about a relationship about sex and not more
00:05:36.560
But you can have a family that has problems and a main character that has problems.
00:05:43.900
And she is not really making the best decisions for her.
00:05:47.820
And she's not really like a put-together kind of person who looks like she could take
00:05:54.380
But then you have the main guy who also has a lot of issues.
00:05:57.220
And it makes sense that they end up together at the end because neither one has worked to
00:06:06.260
And number two is that this is a holiday movie.
00:06:09.440
And it's totally devoid of the faith aspect of anything.
00:06:14.800
It's like almost sacrilegious because you're talking about Christmas and Easter and all
00:06:20.120
of these different holidays and people are acting in really disgusting ways and just ignoring
00:06:25.700
the fact that these have a religious significance.
00:06:28.560
So that's a kind of a weird thing to me is that you're watching this movie.
00:06:31.920
And there's clearly no thought to the actual faith that goes into Easter and Christmas,
00:06:57.080
Next up, as I'm drinking my coffee, I wanted to ask you guys a question.
00:07:00.840
So I have some lactose intolerance and so I generally try to avoid straight milk.
00:07:04.960
But my favorite dairy alternative has become oat milk.
00:07:08.600
And I never thought I was going to be that person because it sounded really hoity-toity.
00:07:12.040
But oat milk is delicious and you really can't taste a huge difference depending on the oat
00:07:21.000
And it's really not an obvious difference from dairy.
00:07:25.100
But I know a lot of people have different opinions on this.
00:07:30.060
There are so many different kinds of milk alternatives nowadays.
00:07:35.720
But I'm really curious to know if I'm the only one.
00:07:37.700
Because I feel like actually that's not that popular of an opinion.
00:07:44.140
So I'd love to hear in the comments which one is your favorite.
00:07:47.280
Last but not least, I wanted to start a new series on The Scoop where I talk about my
00:07:53.140
Something that I've been doing that I really like.
00:07:57.580
This week, I wanted to talk about a look that I actually posted on my Instagram.
00:08:04.800
It's kind of like a comfy, cozy, stylin' outfit.
00:08:09.140
And I really, that's the best of all possible worlds, right?
00:08:12.100
So it's these pants that I got at Kohl's actually last year for Valentine's Day.
00:08:27.060
And I put them with a white sweater that was just very cozy and warm.
00:08:31.440
And I think this outfit just looks like something you would see on Pinterest.
00:08:36.300
But the thing that makes it is pairing it with these over-the-ankle booties.
00:08:40.840
These over-the-ankle booties really make the outfit.
00:08:43.180
And I think that wearing a cropped pant with an over-the-ankle booty that shows just a little
00:08:50.700
And that's what makes this outfit go from okay to okay.
00:08:56.600
So let me know in the comments if this is an outfit you would ever wear.
00:08:59.380
If this is something that you have an outfit similar to.
00:09:02.200
I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on this because I love putting together new and unique
00:09:09.620
It's something that I actually struggle with is giving things away because I like giving
00:09:14.300
pieces in my closet a second life by pairing them with new things.
00:09:17.760
I don't know if you have that same issue, but I know that I do.
