Awkwafina to star in Crime After Crime

OHMYGOSSIP — Awkwafina is to star in ‘Crime After Crime’.
The 29-year-old rapper-turned-actress will star alongside Ike Barinholtz in the upcoming STXfilms comedy crime caper which will see the ‘Ocean’s 8’ star play a podcast host who agrees to help the convict (Ike) she’s devoted her true-crime podcast to prove his innocence after he escapes jail and turns up at her house.
The film has been written by Dan Gurewitch and David Young with Nick Stoller and Conor Welch producing under their Stoller Global Solutions banner as well as Awkwafina, Barinholtz and David Stassen.
Announcing Awkwafina and Ike’s casting, Adam Fogelson – Chairman of STXfilms – said in statement: “Awkwafina and Ike are comedy powerhouses who make a supremely funny duo, and we can’t wait to see what they bring to this sharp and fun material.”
Welch jokingly added: “Nick and I are huge fans of Awkwafina. Ike, not so much. But he was already attached.”
Awkwafina will also appear in the upcoming sequel to ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ alongside Nick Jonas, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan – who will all be reprising their roles from that film.
And it was revealed this week that the ‘Jumanji’ teen cast, Ser’Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Morgan Turner and Alex Wolff – who all appeared at the beginning and end of the film as the children who are transformed into adult avatars – will also be back.
The original 1981 book and 1995 movie of the same name both told the story of a magical board game which came to life when played.
The 2017 reboot updated the concept by making the board game into a video game in which four teens transported into its world, where the kids changed into grown-up avatars.

Foals returning to The Great Escape for intimate Spotlight gig

OHMYGOSSIP — Foals will return to The Great Escape Festival, 12 years after making their debut at the emerging talent extravaganza.
Yannis Philippakis and co will come full circle when they play label Transgressive’s 15th Anniversary Spotlight Show at Brighton’s Concorde 2 on May 10, over a decade after they played to just 350 fans at the East Sussex city’s Horatio’s venue as part of the event in 2007.
Toby L, the co-founder of London music company Transgressive, commented, “The Great Escape is easily one of the world’s most progressive and exciting showcase platforms and since Transgressive always endeavours to unearth and support brand new artists that offer something to say, it felt entirely apt to kickstart a year of parties, special releases and other birthday related gimmickry in Brighton at an event we’ve supported since its inception.
“It’s fair to say we wanted to do something pretty big to launch our birthday year, and I guess that’s how / why we’ve landed here…
“Foals have some incredible history with Concorde 2 and it seemed like an absolute dream to reunite them.
“We’ll have some new artists from the roster in support on the night, too, plus some friendly faces behind the decks. And we’ll hopefully be well warmed up by then as we are looking forward to staging another event the night before at The Old Market, co-hosted with our friends at Fender… More on that one soon, too.”
The indie rock band – who recently dropped their first release since 2015, ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1′, with’ Part 2′ coming this spring – will be supported by fellow Transgressive artists Blaenavon and Bonifac.
Tickets for Foals’ show will be sold separately to The Great Escape and go on sale on Wednesday (03.04.19).
The Great Escape Festival takes place between May 8 and May 11.

Paul McCartney FaceTimed Billie Eilish’s parents

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul McCartney made Billie Eilish’s parents “cry” with joy when he FaceTimed them.
The 17-year-old pop sensation has found it surreal the amount of famous faces she has connected with since becoming a viral success, and recalled how her mom and dad burst into tears when the Beatles legend video-called them, after Billie told his fashion designer daughter Stella McCartney they are massive fans of his.
Appearing on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on Monday night (02.03.19), which saw Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl in the audience – who is a huge fan of Billie – she said: “I feel like recently I’ve met a lot of people that my parents few up as fans of … you know, that’s no disrespect to your age .. .Dave.
“I was in a meeting with Stella McCartney and she FaceTimed her dad, who is Paul McCartney! My mom cried, my dad cried.”
Another “unreal” celebrity encounter Billie had was with Spice Girl Mel C – who watched her perform at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire recently and came backstage to meet her.
She said: “In London, Sporty Spice (Mel C) came backstage.
“When I was growing up, we would watch ‘Spice World’ (the film). I watched that movie, like, 40 times.”
The ‘Bury A Friend’ hitmaker also opened up about her battle with Tourettes Syndrome and admitted she doesn’t let the neurological disorder – which is characterised by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalisations called tics – “define” her.
She said: “It’s not anything different, you know? I never said anything because I didn’t want that to define who I was.
“I think I’ve also learned that a lot of my fans have it, which made me feel kind of more at home with saying it.”
Former Nirvana drummer Dave recently revealed his daughters are “obsessed” with Billie’s music and said she has the same “connection” with her fans as the grunge band did in the 90s.
The ‘Learn to Fly’ hitmaker – who has 12-year-old Violet, Ophelia, four, and nine-year-old Harper with wife Jordyn Blum – tweeted the transcript of what he said at a Pollstar convention, which had been wrongly interpreted, which read: “…. I went to see Billie Eilish not too long ago. Oh my god man. Unbelievable. My daughters are obsessed with Billy Eilish. And what I’m seeing happening with my daughters is the same revolution that happened to me at their age.
“My daughters are listening to Billie Eilish and they’re becoming themselves through her music.
“She totally connects to them.
“So we went to go see her play at the Wiltern, and the connection that she has with her audience is the same thing that was happening with Nirvana in 1991. “The people in the audience knew every word. And it was like our little secret. So I don’t know…and her music is hard to define!
“I don’t know what you call it! I try to describe her to people and I don’t know…….I don’t even know what to call it. But it’s authentic. And I would call that rock n roll. So…. I don’t care what sort of instruments you use to do it. When I look at someone like Billie Eilish, I’m like…s**t man….rock n roll is not even close to being dead… (sic)”

Tamar Braxton’s secret boyfriend

OHMYGOSSIP — Tamar Braxton keeps her boyfriend out of the spotlight because she wants to “protect” him.
The ‘All The Way Home’ hitmaker doesn’t want to share too many details about her new man because she doesn’t want her fame to affect his job.
Speaking on ET Live, she said: “I was just really protective of who he was because he’s definitely not in the business, doesn’t want to be in the business and doesn’t care about the business. So I was just protecting who he was. I think I put so much on him, but it was really me who was protective of who he was because of his job and I know his clients mean everything to him. I just wanted to keep that to myself until I knew it was real.”
Tamar split from Vincent Herbert last year and she didn’t want to stay married to her spouse just for the “sake of saying so”.
She explained at the time: “Married people who are reading will know what I mean. Sometimes we stay married for face value or to say, we did it, but the truth is..it couldn’t be more broken &further apart than we are NOW!..even on an anniversary! You can say he did this, she did that,I put up with”this”& I’ve suffered & endured this for so long..but the TRUTH is that this was your choice2 stay we get so caught up in WE are”winning”in love that we are LOSING a battle that doesn’t have ANYTHING 2 do with us! I decided I didn’t want to be married for the sake of saying so (sic)”
Tamar has one son Logan, five, with her ex Vincent.

James Corden missed out on roles because of his size

OHMYGOSSIP — James Corden has claimed he wasn’t given acting roles because of his size.
The 40-year-old actor felt has slammed the acting industry and said he had to write his own shows like ‘Gavin and Stacey’ because he wasn’t being given the opportunities and roles due to his “chubbiness”.
He said: “It felt like people were going, ‘We think you’re quite good. It’s just because of what you look like.’ It’s a funny world, entertainment. If an alien came down and they had to take a reading on planet Earth by just watching films or TV, they would imagine that if you are chubby, or fat, or big, you never really fall in love, you never have sex, certainly no one really ever finds you attractive. You’ll be good friends with people who are attractive and you’ll often be a great sense of comfort to them and perhaps you’ll chip in with the odd joke every now and then.”
And the ‘Into The Woods’ star has likened the showbiz world to a “big banquet table” where there was no seat for him.
Speaking on David Tennant Does a Podcast With, he added: “As you get older you’ll probably be a judge in something or be dropping off a television to a handsome person in a sitcom. And that’s really how it can feel. It felt like if the world of entertainment was a big banquet table, and people would be like, ‘No, no, no, there isn’t a seat for you here.’ And I was like, ‘If that’s not going to happen then I’m just going to try to make something happen for myself.'”

The Westlife star – who appeared alongside the reality TV diva on the recent series of ‘Dancing On Ice’ – has listened to her debut single ‘Come Home’, and he is convinced her upcoming Naughty Boy collaboration will be a hit.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, he said: “Gemma can do anything she wants – and she will try everything in the world.
“Don’t be surprised if she does very well. She played me the song, Naughty Boy played it over the phone for us. It sounds like a good one.”
Brian will be back on tour with the ‘Better Man’ hitmakers in May and June, and admitted he has been working hard to lose weight after letting himself go a bit after he was voted off ‘Dancing On Ice’.
He added: “I took a break after the show and started eating pizzas and watching ‘Jeremy Kyle’ for a little bit. But I’m about to go on tour so I’ve had to hit the gym.”
It was previously revealed that Gemma’s first single will be a heartbreak tune inspired by her on/off relationship with James ‘Arg’ Argent.
Producer Naughty Boy – who has worked with Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, and Cheryl – has also tipped the former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star to make it big in the music industry.
He said: “She was born to sing, it’s just that she’s actually taken a different route with it.
“But I think Gemma is going to have one of the biggest songs of the year, I can say that with my hand on my heart.
“It’s definitely a romantic song and Gemma’s got such a big heart, it makes a lot of sense of her whole life right now.”

Top Boy casting announced as Ashley Walters praises Netflix

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Walters has praised “brave” Netflix for its handling of the new ‘Top Boy’ series.
The 36-year-old actor will reprise his role as Dushane alongside co-star Kane Robinson’s Sully in the upcoming third season of the gritty crime drama, which is making the move to Netflix five years after it was last on the air on Channel 4.
Speaking as the casting for the new run has been revealed, he said: “‘Top Boy’ is a raw, real representation of street culture. It explores how these characters came to make the choices they make, and gives the audience a behind-the-scenes look as to what is happening on our streets today.
“It needs to be talked about and the show doesn’t shy away from giving us the platform to tell our story. We can’t change things if we do not acknowledge it and understand it first.
“Netflix is the perfect platform for this show, there aren’t many networks who would be brave enough to keep it this real.”
Ashley and Kane will be joined by new star Michael Ward – playing Jamie – while the series will also feature musical acts Simbi Ajikawo and David Omoregie.
Shone Romulus will be back as Dris alongside Ashley Thomas as Jermaine, and the returning cast members will be joined by a host of new performers.
Lisa Dwan (Trust), Jasmine Jobson (‘Lie Low’), Saffron Hocking (‘White Gold’) and newcomer Hope Ikpokuare are all joining the team with ‘Sex Education’ star Kadeem Ramsay and ‘Black Mirror’ actor Kola Bokinni.
‘Top Boy’ creator and writer Ronan Bennett said: “Ten years ago, I witnessed a 10-year-old boy dealing drugs outside my local supermarket.
“It made me question what was going on in my own community and led me to create ‘Top Boy.’ ”

Susanna Reid jokes Piers Morgan makes sobriety ‘harder’

OHMYGOSSIP — Susanna Reid says Piers Morgan makes sobriety “harder”.
The ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter – who gave up booze last year after a heavy Ibiza trip with Judge Rinder – has opened up about her controversial and outspoken co-star, and admitted she does “miss the alcohol” sometimes.
Speaking to GQ magazine, she joked: “He makes not drinking harder.
“I can’t say what happened exactly [in Ibiza], as it’s too personal, but we went big. I do miss the alcohol at times.
“You know, you’re at the Groucho Club, there’s a party, someone brings the shots and you’re just … whoo.
“I love the bacchanalia of it all, that rush of hedonism and escape.
“But then there’s the shame. I’ve had some of my best worst moments after a drink, but I don’t miss the hangxiety.”
While Susanna has compared being on TV with her fellow ‘GMB’ presenter to “being hooked up to an espresso IV drip”, she also begrudgingly described him as “a genius” and explained how their personality clash makes for fantastic TV.
She said: “Oh, [he makes me] really mad. He’s pushed me to get more opinionated. Critics say I take the opposite side just to wind him up.
“It’s not true. I take the opposite side because I don’t agree.
“I also feel a responsibility to speak out for those who aren’t in the studio to defend themselves against his obnoxious rants.
“I don’t agree he should be left to chew these people up and spit them out like one of his rare steaks. Piers too needs to be held to account for what he says.”
The 48-year-old star shrugged off speculation about any pay gap with her 54-year-old colleague, and insisted she wouldn’t react badly if she found out he was earning double what she gets paid.
She added: “I don’t know how much Piers is paid … I feel we should be paid what we are worth.
“I trust ITV to pay me what I should be paid.”

Talia Grant praises Hollyoaks’ support

OHMYGOSSIP — Talia Grant says ‘Hollyoaks’ bosses have been incredibly supportive of her needs as an actress with autism.
The 17-year-old star became the first female actress who is autistic to land a mainstream role on British TV after joining the cast of the Channel 4 soap as teenager Brooke Hathaway – who also has autism – last summer, and she has opened up about the lengths the team have gone to make her feel safe and comfortable.
Speaking to ‘BBC Breakfast’, she said: “I told them what I need and things I might struggle with. They were just open to make adjustments for me.
“So for example, I have my room where I can just go and be by myself. If I need 10 minutes, they’ll give me 10 minutes off set if I’m getting a bit overwhelmed or I just need a break or some fresh air, I can go into my room and I can relax.”
Talia is also grateful for the opportunity to represent people with the developmental disability on the show, after growing up feeling like she didn’t see anyone similar to her on TV.
She explained: “For me, growing up and not seeing myself represented kind of made me feel like, ‘What is wrong with me?’ Or there is no one out there who is really like me. I can be around as many people as I want, but if I didn’t really see that on a screen when I watch TV it’s like I’m not being recognised and my voice is kind of, not a voice.”
While the show’s casting director Peter Hunt felt that it was important to represent “women of that age group with autism”, the programme’s executive producer Bryan Kirkwood admitted it’s important the character isn’t defined by her disability.
He added: “The response to Talia was instant. She’s really identifiable, she’s really relatable.
“She’s not the autistic character, she’s a clever, bright and ambitious young girl, who wants what everybody wants. The fact that she’s got the added element of her autism just makes her even more fascinating but no less relatable.”

David Walliams felt ’emotional’ about Ant and Dec’s BGT return

OHMYGOSSIP — David Walliams felt “really emotional” as Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly reunited for the new series of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
The 47-year-old comedian will be sizing up contestants in the upcoming 13th series of the popular ITV show – alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon – and he is happy the presenting pair are back to co-host the show after Ant took a break last year.
David said: “It was lovely to see when they stepped back on the stage together in London how excited people were to see them together.
“It was really emotional and I was pleased for them. It was just how it always was.”
Ant was arrested in May 2018 and was later fined £86,000 and given a 20-month driving ban after pleading guilty to drink-driving.
He then took time out from his presenting partnership with Dec – who hosted ‘BGT’ 2018 alone – to focus on getting help for his addictions.
The ‘Little Britain’ star admitted the 43-year-old presenters are “really nice blokes”, and he loves to spend time with them.
He said: “Ant and Dec are really nice blokes and they are ‘what you see is what you get’ type of people.
“It’s not like they have a persona that’s different to how they are on TV, that’s why people love them so much, they’re just so natural and themselves.
“It was nice being back together. I love being around those two.
“Obviously, I don’t get to do so much with them because we’re on the judges’ table, but I feel a kinship with them because, well, one is I’ve known them for about 25 years because I started off writing for them.”
Fellow judge Alesha was also delighted to see the pair back on the show, because it was like “getting the family back together”.
She said: “It’s been like getting the family back together, it just feels normal. We’ve been working together for so long now that when we’re together it just feels right.
“I think it’s because they have a genuine friendship and they are exactly the same off camera as they are on camera.
“They won at the National TV Awards again this year and I think they are always going to dominate things like that because the longer they are together the more respect people have for them and the more people love them. So I can’t see that wavering any time soon.”
Amanda added: “Oh, this year has been so lovely! The live shows were not the same without him [Ant].
“We are the best team, we get on so well, we can take the mickey out of each other, we support each other and there’s a natural chemistry between us all that you can’t make happen with other panels.”
The new series of ‘BGT’ will begin on ITV on Saturday (06.04.19).

Jenna Coleman ‘running out of noises’ for Victoria childbirth scenes

OHMYGOSSIP — Jenna Coleman is “running out of noises” for her childbirth scenes in ‘Victoria’.
The 32-year-old actress recently reprised her role as Queen Victoria on the ITV drama – which explores the monarch’s 63-year reign, including the birth of her nine children – for a third season, and admitted that after having six on-screen kids she’s “losing the variation of births”.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2, she said: “I’m running out of noises now. I’ve given so many births I’m losing the variation of births.
“I’m like, ‘What else can I do?’ And then I know one day I’ll actually have birth and then I’ll realise, ‘Ah OK, now I know, now I know what to do.’ ”
The former ‘Emmerdale’ star has a “selection of pregnancy bumps” for acting in the show, and jokes her character is “waddling round the palace”.
When asked what fans can expect from the latest season of ‘Victoria’, she said: “Probably the biggest pregnancy bump television has ever seen.
“I have a selection [of pregnancy bumps] we’ve got a selection we have foam, we have prosthetic but given this is Victoria’s sixth child at the time so I’m waddling round the palace.”
Jenna admitted she will eventually have to pass the “regal baton on” because it’s becoming more difficult to portray the aging royal, compared to the inevitable recasting when Olivia Colman replaced Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix period drama ‘The Crown’.
She said: “I think there will be a point where we have to recast Victoria because, you know, I have seven children now, number eight is on its way.
“When else do I get to take a character to her mid-40s? But practically speaking there’s definitely going to be a cut-off point.
“Yes there are great prosthetics but I’m lowering my voice so much at the moment, there’s going to be a point where it’s no longer feasible so I’m going to have to pass on the regal baton on.”

Tom Holland wasn’t given script for Avengers: Endgame

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Holland was never given the script for ‘Avengers: Endgame’ to stop him from spilling spoilers.
The 22-year-old actor plays Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has become notorious for revealing details of upcoming Marvel films prematurely and ‘Avengers: Endgame’ co-director Joe Russo has revealed that to ensure Tom “keeps his mouth shut” they never gave him an entire copy of the script and only provided him with his character’s lines.
Speaking at a press event attended by Bollywood site Pinkvilla, Russo said: “Yeah, Tom Holland does not get the script. Tom Holland gets his lines and that’s it. He doesn’t even know who he’s acting opposite of. We’ll just, we use like very vague terms to describe to him what is happening in the scene because he has a very difficult time keeping his mouth shut!”
Holland previously spilled to fans the title of his upcoming stand-alone film, ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’, when he logged onto social media to speak with his fans and accidentally showed viewers a tablet with the script’s front page on full display.
Tom also revealed during the press tour for ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ that Marvel was planning a trilogy of films to focus on the adventures of Peter Parker as well as accidentally ruining the end of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ for an entire theatre of people after shouting “I’m alive!” before the film started.
The last instalment of the Marvel franchise saw Spider-Man disappearing along with half the population while the villainous Thanos escaped to a remote planet.
‘Avengers: Endgame’ will be released in the UK on April 25, 2019 – almost one year on from the release of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ -and the US release will follow on April 26, 2019.

Hugh Jackman says work is underway for Greatest Showman sequel

OHMYGOSSIP — Hugh Jackman has confirmed that “work” has begun on a sequel to ‘The Greatest Showman’.
The 50-year-old actor – who portrayed circus owner P. T. Barnum in the box office musical hit – has spilled that plans are underway for a follow-up but he is “not sure” exactly how that will work.
When asked about the possibility of the movie’s return on UK station BBC Radio 2, he said: “The real answer is ‘could be’. I’m not sure. I’m being completely honest with you, there is talk of something going around but no one is really sure. I think right now there’s more emphasis being put on what will happen with it … No one is really sure right now, so that’s the honest truth.
“But I think someone is working on a treatment for something … I know they are, they’re working on a treatment for something.”
The ‘Logan’ star went on to explain that although he “would like to be part of” a possible sequel he would want another character to take the lead for the next story.
He said: “I don’t know. I would like to be part of it for sure, and I don’t know if it would be centred on my character.
“The other thing is, it did take eight years to get it made and that wasn’t all eight years of convincing people. It takes a long time to write stuff.”
Jackman is busy for most of 2019 as in May he is heading out on his ‘The Man. The Music. The Show.’ tour which will see him sing songs from ‘The Greatest Showman’, and other musicals he has starred in on the stage and on screen such as ‘Oklahoma!’ and ‘Les Miserables’.
He previously admitted he is hugely excited about the tour because it has been on his “bucket list” for many years.
He added: “This is a bucket list for me, I’m so lucky that I get to do movies and theatre but it’s not every day I get to do arenas and go around the UK and Ireland. You’re gonna hear songs from ‘The Greatest Showman’, from ‘Les Mis’, from stuff I’ve done from the last 25 years on stage, in the West End and on Broadway. You’re gonna hear a lot of stories about myself. It’s very self-indulgent, the entire thing. It’s all about me. It’s about the first 50 years of my life. I’m going to dance and sing and pretend that I’m 30. I’m going to have an orchestra, dancers, singers. When I go to any kind of show, I love that sparkle where I feel like something happens that night that doesn’t happen any other night, so that will be the goal.”

Claudia Schiffer says modelling is ‘a lot more civilised’ than it used to be

OHMYGOSSIP — Claudia Schiffer admits that modelling has become “a lot more civilised” over the years.
The 48-year-old German beauty was one of the 1990s original supermodels alongside Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington, and the catwalk legend has revealed that since the heights of her legendary career, models are now better looked after when it comes to their “physical and mental” health.
She told Hola!: “Fashion has always been my life and I never imagined doing anything that didn’t involve fashion.
“It’s [Modelling] a lot more civilised now. Before we worked until four in the morning and then were on a plane at seven. Now [models are] also more looked after when it comes to their mental and physical health.
“They feel a lot of pressure because they have to document everything. But it also means that you have a closer relationship with your fans.”
And Claudia insisted that the reason supermodels were so iconic in her heyday is because they individually had a “quality” that made them “stand out”.
She added: “I think that each one of us had a quality that made us stand out and that’s something that people don’t forget.
“I think I’ve accomplished all my dreams, since I’m working doing what I love and what inspires me. I am healthy and I have a family that I adore. Having said that, there’s always something left to achieve.”
The blonde beauty also explained that her two go-to colours in her wardrobe are “black and red”.
She said: “I love black and red. Although I don’t usually wear high heels, that type of occasion calls for it.”

Selma Blair shares candid makeup tutorial

OHMYGOSSIP — Selma Blair has shared a makeup tutorial for people suffering with Multiple Sclerosis.
The 46-year-old actress made her first public appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, in February since going public with her MS diagnosis – which affects the central nervous system, disrupting the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body – and the ‘Cruel Intentions’ star has now revealed her morning beauty routine on social media which has changed due to the condition.
Speaking on Instagram, she said: “My fine motor skills aren’t, like, fine at this moment. So I just want to say I’m gonna probably give a makeup tutorial never. But if I do, then you know I’m really just trying to have fun.
“I notice, I put my makeup on in the morning, and all day, people are rubbing my face, and I’m saying, ‘Whatcha doin?’ ”
Rubbing a brush around her entire face, she added: “Brush. Big. Bronzer. There, done. Stop.”
Selma previously admitted that she wants to partner with Christian Siriano – who created Billy Porter’s tuxedo gown for the Academy Awards – to create a disabled friendly collection that is stylish and “comfortable”.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, she said: “Dressing is a s**t show. I would like to partner with someone like Christian Siriano on a line for everyone – not just people who necessarily need adaptive clothing – but for those who want comfort, too. It can still be chic. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice style. Like, let’s get elastic waistbands to look a little bit better. I have met so many people on Instagram who have said that they were always ashamed of their cane. You want to still be part of the living, not a shuffling person people get out of the way for because they’re queasy. A cane, I think, can be a great fashion accessory. I really feel like people with disabilities are invisible to a lot of people. Because they’re uncomfortable, or don’t have the energy to dress up, don’t want to be seen.”
