In Holly Miranda’s New Music Video, Love Is A Gender-Bending Circus

$

Taking place in a desert-set carnival of curiosities with real circus performers, Holly Miranda’s latest music video — and the track that it supports — marks a transformation for the musician. The pop-infused, playful buoyancy on her eponymous new album continues to showcase Miranda’s impressive vocals, while offering a departure from her debut album's brooding demeanor. The lead single, “All Want Is to Be Your Girl” delivers an honest, irreverent take on love and its innate performativity, while the vibrant traveling fair narrative of the new accompanying video lends the song an appropriate dynamism — especially when Miranda not-so-subtly tackles the issue of gender roles.

"We shot this over 18 hours at Wini McKay's L.A. circus in Riverside [California],” Miranda said over email. "The treatment for this video was a collaboration between myself and director Jason Fijal. The idea was to play with gender and what it means to just want to be someone's girl. That first moment when you feel a crush coming on, the playfulness. We also wanted to spin a tale and tell a good story."

Jen Rosenstein

The general theme stemmed from a conversation Miranda had with Lacey Story, a professor of gender studies at Oakland University. While exploring the notion of what it means to be someone's girl, the idea of a gender-shifting circus took shape. Miranda's label Dangerbird sent the initial treatment to Fijal, who reworked it and ultimately brought it to life. Miranda would spend time sleeping on Fijal and producer Brigitte Hagerman’s couch during further brainstorming, prop building, and fittings. Hagerman, who Miranda calls a “clockwork ballerina,” helped pull together the cast. Most of the performers are part of Cirque Berzerk in Los Angeles and had already worked together before the shoot, lending a familial vibe to the production — which ended up infusing the video itself.

"This is an experience that I will never forget and I am forever in the debt to these humans for making my crazy dream come true,” Miranda said.

Whether they cut you off and refuse to see your side of things or they just irritate the crap out of you by going on and on about themselves, interacting with someone with a seriously inflated ego is a chore.

Parrot their words back to them so you don't get stuck in a conversation forever.

Whether you're debating facts or just trying to get out of a long-winded story, you have to at least pretend that you value what they're saying. "If they don't feel heard, they are going to keep talking over you and they'll go on forever," clinical psychologist Andrea Bonior, Ph.D., tells BuzzFeed Life. Make it clear that you've heard what they have to say, then use that as an opportunity to make your point or move attention away from them.

Cut uncertain phrases from your vocabulary.

When talking to someone with a big ego, don't start your sentences with:
"I think..."
"I feel..."
"I kind of..."
"I sort of..."
"I just..."

These phrases automatically make you sound like you have less authority, so you're feeding into that person's ego by making it sound like you think your own opinion is less valuable than theirs, says Bonior.

Met a guy online, we dated for over a year. I met his parents, slept in his apartment, met his friends, then he randomly disappeared. I paid $9.95 to a sketchy Internet look up service and found out he was married with two children. And he was 10 years older than he told me. And he gave me a fake last name. Pow, right in the kisser.

I actually catfished someone, but this was 15 years ago before it was a phenomenon. I was 15 and I went into a Britney Spears chat room. I met a guy from the Netherlands. I said I was 18 (as was he) and my name was Mandi (yes, with an "i"). I gave him my real number so we'd talk on the phone everyday — he'd call me. As catfish stories go, things got intense fast, there was talk of him visiting, so naturally, I did something dramatic. I pretended that Mandi got in a car accident and lost her memory. Things unraveled from there and I finally told him the truth. We tried to be friends, but it was too weird. A week later, he was dating someone else in the chat room.

Words I never thought I'd type as a teenager: Judy Blume and I both have novels coming out the same day. Judy Blume, whose seminal young adult novels I grew up on, who everyone grew up on, all the girls and lots of the boys too, across America, around the world. Even today my 10-year-old niece is impressed that I know Judy Blume, even if it's only on Twitter. Because Blume has captured a way to write that transcends time.

And now I have an excuse to talk to her, email with her, because we share something in common, even if it is just one day in our lives. Her new adult novel, In the Unlikely Event, is irresistible, inspired by real life events in the early 1950s when a succession of airplanes crashed over a year period in Judy's hometown of Elizabeth, New Jersey. It's a witty, wise, hooky book, about life and death and love, spilling from a multitude of voices. But what Judy and I talked about over email was business. (And, oddly enough, vaginas.)

Making Victoria’s Secret Pay For Keeping Staff On Call

$

The controversial form of scheduling locks staff into shifts that can be canceled at the last minute, with no pay. But a lawsuit in California, and investigation in New York, could lead to big changes.

Will Varner / BuzzFeed News

Until earlier this year, Erin Hurley worked part-time at a Bath & Body Works in Marietta, Georgia, often spending 12 hours a week smiling at shoppers and selling them body lotion and candles in scents like "Moonlight Path" and "Endless Weekend."

She would have liked more hours, and was regularly scheduled for at least twice as many. But most of those extra shifts came in the form of "call-in" work: days that an employee needs be available, often until hours before start time, with no guarantee of getting any work, or pay.

"I had to call one hour before," Hurley, 26, told BuzzFeed News in an interview. "I was about 25 to 30 minutes away, depending on traffic. They would either put me on hold or I would have to call a store several times before someone would pick up. I would be looking at my watch and starting to sweat because I would be late. They stressed to get there on time."

Hurley would work 30 hours on a good week. The next, she might clock in 10, even though still she had to be ready to come in within an hour of each call. That made it hard to find other part-time work to smooth out the unpredictable hours, and her income fluctuated wildly, although the payments for her car, student loans, credit cards, cell phone, and groceries stayed just the same.

Hurley's experience with call-in shifts has become a common tale in the retail industry. Chains keep employees on the hook up until the last minute, a move that costs them nothing and helps minimize labor costs. Software helps them understand staffing needs in real time, and evidence suggests a national chain can save tens of millions of dollars a year by keeping workers on call and canceling at the last minute, rather than paying for an hour or two of work by staffers sent home when business is slow.

This wreaks havoc on employees' lives. Staff who miss making a call in the window prior to a shift, or who do call but cannot make it to work on time, typically receive the same punishment as someone who skips a regularly scheduled shift. At Urban Outfitters, company policy says on-call shifts "are considered scheduled shifts, and the same attendance policy applies," according to a company handbook shared with BuzzFeed News.

Ray Mitchell, 28, who worked at an Urban Outfitters in Atlanta starting in 2013, said on-call scheduling "held you hostage for what you could do each day."

One can't secure other paid work or take classes during a scheduled call-in shift. But if it's canceled, the employee gets nothing in return, and they may have arranged for child care or elder care that's ultimately unnecessary. And it's far harder to budget when pay swings up and down based on a daily phone call. In some scenarios, the uncertainty can prevent people from claiming government benefits like food stamps and housing assistance because they can't accurately estimate their income.

"You lose an enormous amount of personal autonomy," said David Leimbach, a lawyer representing Victoria's Secret employees suing the company over its labor practices, including on-call scheduling.

Via Twitter: @ChelseaRosario_

The Victoria's Secret lawsuit, taking place in California, is happening in parallel to a probe into on-call scheduling by the New York State attorney general's office. Each could have a wide-reaching impact on how retailers treat their part-timers, and are being closely watched both by employers and the worker groups pushing them to change their ways.

The California lawsuit claims in part that companies that require workers to be available on-call should pay them if their shifts are canceled, just like they would have to under state law if the person physically showed up to work but was sent home.

Historically, working "on call" has been an accepted downside of the job for doctors, police officers, and other emergency responders. They're compensated for the hassle of such shifts, which typically involve unpredictable, urgent situations. Only recently have retailers ramped up the use of such shifts, without pay, for the less pressing need for a body on hand to ring up sweater purchases and unlock fitting rooms.

This type of scheduling appears to have become extremely common. The New York attorney general's labor bureau has sent letters to 13 retailers — naming 27 different national chains they operate — seeking information about their scheduling practices because the office had "reason to believe" they were using uncompensated on-call shifts. The chains in question, from J. Crew to Sears, are all household names; collectively they operate more than 16,000 stores in North America.

25 People Who Should Have Just Said "No"

Google CEO Saw "Tomorrowland" And Had Deep Thoughts About The Future

The Google CEO said he was interested in the Disney movie for its utopian vision of the future. But utopias just don’t make good stories.

Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Images

Silicon Valley wants us to believe the future will be a better place. Science fiction — a genre stuffed with dystopian projections of humanity's decline — often has us imagine the opposite.

Any computer nerd will tell you these two visions aren't incompatible. Many people indulge in dystopian fiction while trying to create a better future in real life. But what happens when you look for that future utopia in fiction?

According to Google co-founder Larry Page, the result may be disappointing.

Page recently went to see Tomorrowland, the new Disney movie that imagines a happy city of the future, he told Google shareholders at the company's annual meeting today.

"I was interested in a version of the future that would be positive, because that's so seldom portrayed in science fiction or movies," Page said. "I came away from that and thought, well, it's not a good story because it's not dark."

The movie, he said, "tries to portray the future positively and fails."

youtube.com

Tomorrowland, directed by Brad Bird, was a box office disappointment and has been poorly received by critics. It has a 49% on Rotten Tomatoes. A. O. Scott of the New York Times wrote that the film, "searching for incitements to dream, finds slogans and mistakes them for poetry."

It may be more difficult to successfully tell a utopian story than a dystopian one, Page said.

"There's a real bias that it's much easier to focus on the negative — stoke up fear with all the things that could go wrong," he said. "It's very hard to find positive views of the future in general."

Page told the anecdote in response to a question from a young shareholder who said his experience at law school had left him disillusioned about the future.

The Google chief urged the questioner to stay positive. He said the world was getting better by "any measure," including an alleviation of poverty.

But he said fiction tends to convey the opposite impression.

"Don't let that get you down," Page said.

Mariah Carey Dishes On 40 Things You Need To Know About Her

$

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

Let’s be honest, Mariah Carey probably needs no introduction. The singer, songwriter, actress, pop icon, diva, is not only the biggest-selling female act of all time (selling over 54 million albums), but also one of the most successful musical artists of all time. She’s had 45 singles land in the Billboard Hot 100, and of those, 18 have hit No. 1 — the most for any solo artist ever, and second overall only to the Beatles for most number ones (who have 20). Mariah recently compiled those career-spanning 18 number ones for her new greatest-hits album, #1 To Infinity, as well as for her new Las Vegas residency at Caesar's Palace. In celebration of her album and show, Mariah talked to BuzzFeed (at the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland) and answered questions about everything from her career to which Mean Girl character she’d most like to be.

1. What do you love most about your career?

Mariah Carey: I love being able to do what I love for a living most about my career. It would suck to be stuck doing something I hated.

2. What, so far, has been your favorite career moment?

MC: Wow, I've been blessed and had so many moments. It definitely has to do with the Lambilys. My fans have made all my career moments special for me. They are the ones that have gotten me through every single thing — good times and bad, they are who I go to and lean on. I am very thankful for that.

3. Do you have a favorite moment in your new Vegas show?

MC: I love performing "Infinity" in Vegas because to see the people singing along to such a brand-new song — I just wrote and recorded it three months ago — it's one of my favorite things. I love performing all the songs, but to sing "Infinity" after the 18 number ones is pretty cool.

4. Do you have a personal favorite off your #1 to Infinity album?

MC: Hmmm, a friend of mine told me last night that his favorite song was "My All," and I have had lot of people tell me that's their favorite song. And that song is based on a real moment; I wrote in the album credits for #1 to Infinity that was the first time I fell in love with love, and it's true. I went to Puerto Rico and had MOMENTS; they weren't severe moments, but they were moments for me, Miss Goody Two-Shoes, and out came "My All." But, I am not going to claim it as my favorite 'cause I love "Fantasy," as well as the newer songs "We Belong Together" and "Touch My Body."

5. Is there an artist that you'd like to collaborate with whom you haven't worked with yet?

MC: I want to collaborate with me 'cause I've done so many collaborations that after a certain point unless you're really working with a certain caliber of an artist, there's no point [to collaborate]. It just becomes, 'Oh, let's throw these two people together,' and that's what I feel is wrong with some of the collaborations that happen today and, dare I say, I helped paved the way for some of these little collaborations that happened today.

6. Do you have a favorite look from one of your music videos? One that you would want to frame in your house?

New York Daily News Archive / Getty Images

MC: I have a lot of different ones framed in my house from different moments, things like Divas Live framed — not necessarily from the music videos — but moments for me. Like, it was a huge deal for me being on stage with Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross; these different moments were milestones for me.

7. So this is a new chapter for you, what do you want to accomplish next?

MC: I have so many dreams that I haven't yet realized. I would say that there is a lot of things in the acting world that I want to do. And I am so grateful to people like Lee Daniels, and even Brett Ratner, for having fun, working with me, and pushing me to limits where I definitely would not have wanted to go.

There are a lot things I have on the horizon that I'm going to be doing: acting, singing, even writing for movies. I think I'd even like to score a movie — I don't know why that hasn't happened yet, clearly someone isn't on their game.

Sony Music

8. What is Bianca [from the "Heartbreaker" video] up to right now?

MC: Dahhling, I don't know, she's really hard to pin down. I really wanted to bring her here today, so it's only really her essence that could be here today. But I hope BuzzFeed and I can get Bianca off her arse.

9. Do you think Bianca will ever make a cameo in a future music video?

MC: I want her to make a cameo — maybe she could do an interview with BuzzFeed. The only thing is that she's a DIVA and over the top. Like, my glam squad is nothing compared to hers, nothing.

10. What's your No. 1 selfie tip?

Get the proper angle and the best lighting that you can.

11. Are you for or against a selfie stick?

For a selfie stick! That way I can control it. I don't need to take a selfie with someone from their bleak angle; I don't care for that.

12. Instagram: filter or no filter?

It depends: If I'm feeling "Bleak" then we might throw a filter on.

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

But sometimes I am #NoFilter and I am proud of that. When I used to take pictures with the babies and I would just be waking up and it's just this natural moment that is emanating inside — it's not a 'let me go put on a ton makeup and go tra-la-la' type of thing.

I do love a good filter, though.


13. What is your favorite thing to do to make you feel fabulous?

I don't know dahhling but it must be feeling "festive."

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

14. Coffee or tea?

Tea.

15. What's your go-to Starbucks order?

I'm not a subscriber to walking into large corporate entities that I have to walk into and be waiting in line, because then I have to stand there and be like, "Hi," and people look at me and what I'm going to buy. If I do get something, I usually have someone deliver it to me and it's usually tea.

16. Which Plastic (from Mean Girls) would you want as your BFF?

Regina George — you have to be on her good side. Honestly, I would just want to be her; she's the best.

Paramount Pictures/ Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

17. Do you cook at all?

I'm actually a really good cook and people don't believe this about me! When I was pregnant I needed to make sure I was getting my nutrients, so I just started cooking a lot. I always cook on the holidays and on Christmas Eve. I cook my dad's recipe for linguine and white clam sauce — he left that recipe for me; he was a great cook.

I love to cook; I get creative. It's fun and something totally different from what I do every other day of the year.

18. What's your top three emojis?

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

-- LOL crying face.

-- The heart.

-- And the kisses.




19. Favorite curse word?

Stop trying to make it happen...

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

20. Champagne or wine?

Right now I'm not trying to have either one of them. But if I had to, it's all about the glass, so I would have to go with the champagne flute — it's the best look.

21. Favorite board game?

Taboo, and I love Balderdash too. I'm actually really good at Balderdash and no one wants to play that game with me. Especially the movies category; I don't want to give away my secrets, but I am pretty good at that category.

22. What are you binge-watching right now?

Scandal, I have to admit. I was binge-watching How to Get Away With Murder and Veep. It's freaking hilarious, I live for Veep.

23. NSYNC or One Direction?

Oh come on, oh come now. Do you really expect me to answer that question?

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

24. Hello Kitty or Lisa Frank?

I don't think I'm equipped to answer that question. I'm going to have to have my friends handle that for me. But Hello Kitty, how many great moments have we had!

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

25. Which is better: a pink unicorn or a winged dolphin?

WOW. I guess I'm going to have to go with the winged dolphin.

26. Favorite Disneyland ride?

Tower of Terror. I love the Tower of Terror. I have to say the Disney World Tower of Terror is the best one, 'cause you get a different surprise every time. I am also a record holder for one of the people who has ridden that ride the most.

27. Favorite Disney Villain?

I'm not for the villains, I'm only for the princesses. I mean it's fun to have Jafar or whatever; I didn't even remember their names 'cause they're not important to me.

28. Favorite Disney Princess?

I love Rapunzel — she's genius. Also Tangled is my daughter's, Monroe's, favorite movie. So I kind of go with what they love.

29. Which do you prefer: Five Guys or Shake Shack?

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

30. In-N-Out?

Someone tried to get me with that the other day and I had to tell them stop.

Macey J Foronda / BuzzFeed

31. What are you obsessed with right now?

I'm obsessed with humidifiers, because being in Vegas is so dry. I literally have, like, 10 humidifiers around my bed.

32. What is one thing that a true diva could not live without?

I guess a smart remark every now and then, a good sip of water.

33. Where is your favorite place to spend Christmas?

Typically I like to spend Christmas in Aspen [Colorado], but as long as it's a snowy place, I don't care. It has to be a white Christmas. And then we have to go somewhere warm and tropical for the new year.

34. What do you get someone who has been naughty?

Coal in the stocking — isn't that the traditional thing?

Universal Music Group

35. Favorite Christmas gift you've ever received?

My favorite Christmas gift is to have a relaxed Christmas and to give gifts. I love giving gifts. It's almost like I don't open my gifts until, like, three days after Christmas, 'cause I want to give everyone else their presents. Especially now having my own little babies, it's all about them.

36. Do you decorate your tree?

We decorate like a Charlie Brown tree. I have a decorator who helps me 'cause I only have a few days when I get there [Aspen] to decorate, because I do a show at the Beacon Theatre [in New York City] for Christmas.

37. What one ornament has to be on your tree?

The angel on the top of the tree, dahhling.

38. Favorite holiday movie?

My favorite holiday movie has yet to be filmed. Brett Ratner and I have a new movie and we're working with New Line Cinema and we're very excited. It was my idea, I brought it to them, I am executive-producing it. I am not the star of the movie, but my music is the star, and I have a very integral part in the movie. And it's exciting.

New Line Cinema

But I live for Elf. Also, in general I love movies like Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life; I like the classics. Have to say Elf is my favorite, so good. If I could be a female version of that character I would be that Will Ferrell character. It's the best classic of the last 15 years.

39. Do you have cookies on Christmas?

We make cookies, gluten-free Christmas cookies. My other favorite additional treat is hot cocoa and butterscotch schnapps. We go on a two-horse open sleigh and bring that drink and it's so good. I had only had the peppermint schnapps and then someone introduced me to the butterscotch one and it's the best.

40. What's your favorite song to sing at Christmas?

I have to go with my own, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." I still love it. Even though it's not my favorite vocal performance, or the best thing I've done in that way. It's just for fun, it's… moments, dahhling.

I'm the queen of festivities, that's all I can say.
