Sunday Musings: Make Up, Face Masks and Living in Your Discomfort Zone





Good morning, everyone!  September morn...as Neil Diamond would say, eh?  lol.  We just had a northerly front blow through and temps dropped about twenty degrees so this is a nice break.  What else is breaking?  Who said anything about breaking?  Nah, we have just a couple of news items to go over.  Let's get going.



Well, this interview appeared on Twitter via You Tube and so it's current and we're told took place during the Toronto International Film Festival last weekend.  While there was the usual shoehorning of the sister and generic word "family", there were some interesting quotes and phrases which seemed to crop up several times.  Again, The Sisters Brothers is based on an historical novel which takes place in Oregon and California, yet for some reason, filming took place in Spain, Romania and a country you don't see mentioned in the press nearly as often - France.  Yes, France.  


Jake says at different points in the interview:

"Oftentimes, people say things to me like 'you don't seem American' and I take that as a compliment"

"searching and searching and going out in the world"

"feeling like a foreigner"

"be a part of the world"

"I love the opportunity that making films in other parts of the world gives you." 

Reminds this long time Jake follower of the time when Jake was a judge at Berlinale and was obsessed with the number 5.  In particular, he was asking for giveaways/items in quantities of five.  As in five Baby Tiles who would all want a souvenir from Papa?  As some may be familiar with this trait of Jaker's, he can be a tad on the obsessive side and reckless.  After all, how do you think we have been able to accumulate so many clues pointing towards the existence of the legendary Baby Tile(s)??

Here's the You Tube video where the interviewer asks him why he had been obsessed with the number 5:



And so now, if you've been paying attention, Jake seems to have been in a grand mood for several years, dropping plenty of bread crumbs along the way that he is not in the United States much anymore.

Notice too that this morning, now comes another French publication where Jake has granted an interview that will busy his timeline today because he mentions "Marvel" and "Tom Holland".  Add this interview to the GQ France issue which gave more chatter and several new pictures of Jake in afghan sweaters which has occupied his social media search for weeks.  The lucky French!  One might think Jake has gotten more comfortable and familiar with this area of the world.



Uh yes, it is very much becoming so, for some of us, buddy.  LOL!

And who says couples can't groom together?  With some additional testimony that PR teams borrow from the same book, we have Jared Padalecki and his beard enjoying mask-time together. 
 
 
Hmmm, where have we seen this Maybelline Bonding before? Oh, yes...

Austin and his previous beard, Chlo Bennet.  Aaah, the memories, the memories.  More like, the emasculation of it all, huh?
 
Oh, and how about a two-fer?  There has also recently been this Padackles/Jaustin beams crossing moment.  Here's a flashback - Jake and his closet enabling make up man:  Donald Mowat.
 
 
 
 
 





Mowat has been beneficial to Jake helping to place him in a "state of filming" or "filming completion".  He also helps to geographically place him in Los Angeles, London, etc. in addition to (and this is the important one), owning an Instagram account where he can post all of this Jake whereabout information.

The Padackles foursome seem to have found their own make-up artist enabler by the name of Billy Mercer.  Mr. Mercer is the lead artist and co-owner of Austin, TX's "Lip Service Beauty Concierge".   Seems he is supposed to have turned the big 4-0 recently and a big party ensued. Of course, everyone there was visible, except for Jared.  That's right. Jared was supposed to be preoccupied attending a college football game.  I think we all know how that one goes....

Trying to explain where Jared was...

Of course, a popular narrative has been that Jared cannot tolerate his hired beard whatsoever, causing him to actually stay away from this big 4-0 wing ding.  Fans should be careful where they are very obviously being led though, because when it comes to the tricky Hollywood closet, the divining rod rarely leads to the water hole so easily.   

All remains still to be seen, but with this crew, the words Proceed With CAUTION don't even seem strong enough, lol.

For the Outlook Calendar or anyone in a traveling mode:  Austin Nichols is scheduled to be at the Walker Stalker convention in Atlanta GA the weekend of October 26, 27 and 28th.  Nice, accessible east coast location, isn't it?

Jake's movie "The Sisters Brothers" has been added to the line-up at the London Film Festival which runs from October 10 through the 21st.   And Big Sis Maggie has been added as a speaker to the same festival.  Hey, look at that....October 10 through the 21st over in London; why, seems that means the festival window is going to overlap Baby Tile Number One Son's birthday.   Should be an interesting time period with a lot of deflection and distraction, don't you think?  



And to wrap this short post up, let's send everyone off with one of the brightest smiles which exists - that which belongs to King Louis Tomlinson!  Here he is from an X Factor moment.  What a smile!

Geez, just remembering those ridiculous photos of Austin as Chlo posed him like a Gumby doll with the face mask. And Jared doing the same thing. For most of the time, it's always been Jared taking on the brunt of the bearding so Jensen wouldn't have to do it. Austin does the same thing, although his & Jake's is a bit more involved and not quite as simple. But since the whole Reeke ordeal, it has always been obvious that Jake hates bearding and will do about anything to avoid it. Austin & Jared? They seem to be able to detach themselves from what they're doing, something in their make up (LOL! No pun intended!) that has not been in Jake and Jensen's.

But I will say that Jensen is digging a bit deeper into his santa bag of bearding tricks and the guy is making up for lost time. LOL. Geez, Jensen, just stop it already.

To watch the Padackle foursome just ripping new ones with their beards every time you turn around, is a real show. And then the Spn Goss mods, I mean police anons, will chastise and scold anyone for bringing up the beards. But I will say that it's harder and harder not to when they're shoved in everone's face constantly now.

This should make everyone in the fandom ask why? Why now and has been this way since the twins announcement? What changed this? It's gone on too long to just be about the approaching end of the show. These four are pounding and pounding home a constant mantra that of course, they're all four "real" couples, but also that the two women are the "mothers" and "Mom's". Over and over and over again.
