When Austin TX isn't close enough:
Isn't it interesting that Genevieve Padalecki is being placed closer to Vancouver lately? Doing a little meandering around and I see she's participating in another panel, this one on September 9.
Nope, this isn't going to be at a Supernatural convention; Create and Cultivate is going to be a convention for women, who want to "create and cultivate the career of their dreams". It's interesting that Jared & Jensen have a convention in Pittsburgh, PA that same weekend.
Remember, Genevieve also joined the SuperheroIRL: End Bullying! panel at this year's San Diego Con, where Jared and Jensen attended the weekend of July 22. Then, there was the whole "Idaho" visit at the end of July and merging into early August.
Isn't that interesting? Is this to keep Genevieve within easier proximity of the newest Padalecki, Odette, in addition to the two boys? So that more photos can be taken and used on her business Instagram when she really needs a non-photoshopped pic? Because she's putting up pictures at the rate of a slide show. I'm just wondering...
She is fortunate that the "easy" explanation for so many Instagram pictures of the children without her can be surmised because she is the one supposedly taking the picture. Many of the photos of the boys are solo or joint shots, pictures which can be taken anywhere by anyone, uploaded, then texted or emailed to her or an intern with access to her account. But fans/observers seem to assume she is the one right there with them, taking the shot. Well, not all observers.

And Speaking of Instagram (and Instagram Stories):
Oh, we weren't speaking about Insta Stories? Well, we will be. LOL! For any experienced student of the Hollywood closet, who isn't noticing that Instagram is a favored tool now of the publicists? Designed to tell fans the "story" from their point of view, Instagram is a publicist's own pap agency. What we need to realize is how much the public is being manipulated and fooled. Let's look at two recent pictures.
• Generic photos of plates of food, buildings, scenery with Geotagging for GPS placement:
Yes, the location is on, but the location could be embedded in the photo without the poster even necessarily being there.
Or how about so Close Cropped, that the subjects aren't even visible themselves, but tagged?
Wow! Kind of takes the act of "assuming" to a new level, doesn't it? LOL.
Now, let’s digress a bit, or perhaps take a less traveled road, and discuss the importance of social media when it comes to the machinations of
the closet in the entertainment industry today. What at first seemed like a highly
accessible, fun tool to bring people together and communicate real time
experiences, has quickly been subverted/exploited by PR teams to not just
control the message about their clients, but manufacture, manipulate and invent
whole realities that bear no resemblance to the truth.
A case in point would be the laddy lad, "chav" storyline about Louis Tomlinson becoming a father, presumably after a drunken one night stand with an unknown civilian that Simon Cowell made sure everyone knew before even the first trimester had been reached. Let's not waste time enumerating all the ways in which this narrative is another one of Sony/Syco's mean-spirited homophobic concoctions to destroy and factionalize the Larrie fanbase. The "official" narrative of Louis with child is obviously being used to keep two young men aggressively closeted during the ever lengthening One Direction hiatus, in addition to ridding and/or drastically diminishing the influence of those pesky Larries once and for all. In the meantime, Sony/Syco can make sure during this break to make it look like Louis and Harry are perfectly fine with the way they have been treated over the years. Louis constantly being associated with a "supportive" Simon Cowell through the Freddie stunt and his multiple appearances on Cowell productions like "The X-Factor" and "America's Got Talent" and his recently resigning with Syco for his record deal. Even Harry is now being promoted by the X-Factor as performing his new music on the show this season. The scripted message loud and clear that Louis and Harry have cooperated in their closeting. Nothing to see here. When in fact we have another egregious example of the "image rights" tyranny of corporate types trying to wipe their fingerprints from their discriminatory business practices. It is no coincidence that Harry and Louis remain the only current members of 1D still trapped signed with Sony/Syco.
How would you describe yourself in one word, Louis?
Nonetheless, let's not ignore that the Jungwirth family of the infamous "Freddie Reign," uses Instagram, Insta Stories and copious geotagging to communicate a false reality, mocking fandom members with bizarre "family" trips to Hawaii or Las Vegas that capture "Freddie Reign" curiously calling the grandmother "mama". Or, the unavoidable truth that Freddie looks nothing like Louis Tomlinson, but instead is practically a carbon copy of the grandparent's son, Austin. Never mind how large the child is. Looking more like a 3-year old than a 19-month toddler. Gaslighting at its most despicable.
The "Grandfather" and "cousin" of Freddie Reign
Yes, that's supposed to be a 19-month old toddler standing at the waistline of an 11-year old boy
It is also not a coincidence that social media uses the word
“filters” and “stories” as part of the standardized lexicon of this modern-day disinformation,
oops I mean social engagement process. Celebrity accounts are set up, not so
much to promote projects and market the individual as accessible to fans, but to
influence/control fandom discussion and cultivate warring factions. Literally,
making stuff up by strategically posting a photo of Jake Gyllenhaal in a
suggestive marriage proposal kneel in front of his latest beard, or having a hired
girlfriend for Harry Styles wear one of his shirts and post it on Instagram to
imply they are a couple. And there's little doubt that the signature feature
on Instagram Story, which allows users to post photos and videos that can
vanish after 24-hours, kept the fauxmance between Austin Nichols and Chloe
Bennet on life support, long past its expiration date.
Same shirt and black jacket. They must be sleeping together!
Will you be my beard for my next movie junket?
There is no surprise either that Glenne
Christiaansen, the girlfriend of Jeff Azoff, (Harry Styles’
manager) is the Head of Music Partnerships at Snapchat, Inc. and continues to enthusiastically promote “trick edits” and
revolutionizing the music industry through social media.

Nor is it an accident that many performers/celebrities
known to be beards and/or in the closet themselves have suddenly attached themselves
to high-powered Internet/social networking moguls. The following three are just a brief illustration of this not so strange bedfellow trend/merger of the entertainment/sports
world and the created reality of filters & app features, image manipulations and chronological
falsifications.
- Google Executive, Dan Fredinburg (now deceased) dated Austin Nichols ex-beard, Sophia Bush
- Snap Incorporated CEO (Snapchat), Evan Spiegel recently married Orlando Bloom's ex, Miranda Kerr
- Reddit Co-founder, Alexis Ohanian is the fiance of Serena Williams
And, now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Wheweee hello there! It feels like Friday, maybe that's because I'm going to be at home tomorrow. I'm convalescing!!!! I had two wisdom teeth pulled this morning and I don't recommend it. lol.
Nah, my oral surgeon was AWESOME. He was young and loved it when I asked him to play music. He said he loved to listen to music while he worked. Everyone was great and it took nearly an hour. But the rest of the day is the bleh part. That's why I need to be at home, but so far, so good. Keep your fingers crossed for me!! I hope there's no complications or anything. And I still might not be done; might have to have one more pulled. I really did a number on my cracked molar. :*( We'll see.
Hope the autumn colors aren't too overwhelming. I really like the closet we're using. Our temperatures are already kind of mild although I doubt we're done with 80 degree temps.
