In this scene, Macy Spectra, girl of Sally Spectra, caput of Spectra Designs, is killed disconnected for the 2nd clip connected the amusement by a chandelier falling connected her caput portion singing The Greatest Love of All. The ponytail, the knowing looks, the clunky camera work. I emotion it all. Enjoy. And RIP, Macy.

7. Brené Brown

Like many, I emotion Brené Brown and her enactment astir shame and vulnerability. But I americium obsessed with each her self-deprecating asides and however overmuch her assemblage eats them up.
