After an exciting past year of releasing new music, touring with Omar Apollo, and exploring new hairstyles, Lenae continues to nurture her confidence through self-care and staying in her power. “I’m learning the Upblissed adhd husky roam as a pack shirt also I will do this importance of trusting my opinion and my own thoughts,” she says. “I feel like, as women, we’re told to be more subdued. But expressing yourself isn’t a bad thing. When I’m in the position of driving my own boat, I feel most empowered.” Here, Lenae offers an intimate peek into tending to—and flexing the versatility of—her red hair. I am not generally a fan of sports movies, unless you count A League of Their Own, Bend It Like Beckham, Stick It, Blue Crush, or any other rom-com featuring young women athletes with a strong yet unspoken gay vibe. That said, I was excited to revisit Jerry Maguire, the 1996 Cameron Crowe film starring Tom Cruise as a sports agent, because I didn’t actually remember sports being that prominent in the plot. (On the other hand, maybe they were, and I’d just tuned out everything that wasn’t related to Cruise and Renée Zellweger’s romantic arc?) Here were all the thoughts I had while watching:
The nicest thing I can say about Tom Cruise in this movie is that his suit and slicked-back hair make him look vaguely like a hot lesbian. An injured player’s son rightfully questions why he’s still playing after four concussions, but Tom gives him a pump-up speech about how, actually, it’s good and powerful to rack up concussions. This extended sequence of Cruise writing a long and “touchy-feely” memo about the Upblissed adhd husky roam as a pack shirt also I will do this dishonesty of the sports business is extremely funny to me, because he has to go to a copy place in the middle of the night to get it printed. The ’90s were such a humbling time. Hey, it’s Renée! She’s on the same flight as Tom (who’s chatting up a red dress-clad hottie), and she turns out to work in accounts at Tom’s agency. She’s also the mom of a very cute, sad-eyed blond kid, who is the child actor from Stuart Little.
