Also, more Mariah stuff, but she posted a Video at midnight 1st November on IG of her going to bed in Halloween garb, the clock turning to midnight and her waking up in Christmas gear to a call from Father Christmas, which I thought was cute.
I used to dislike Mariah like all people everywhere (whilst still thinking its one of the top three Christmas tunes ever) but I watched her in the film Precious and found a new found respect for her. She had a moustache. I like that she had a moustache. It helped me see past the Mariah-ness.
Also, that’s a great film. It’s difficult to watch, but brilliant. The main actress puts in such a heart-wrenching performance that it stuck with me for ages.
Ooh yes, I liked that video - a nice counterpoint to the usual "Christmas, but it's only November!" (again. Every year. Must we?) For those who don't mind, or don't care, it was quite nice to just see it outright acknowledged that yes, it's November, and from here on, you're going to hear Mariah (and Slade and Cliff and The Pogues and oh gosh).
