I thought y’all might be due for an Emily rant. This one is quite niche, but enjoy. Just spreading the good word to warn you of these scams

Get the friends who always say “Oh that will definitely fit” at the thrift store (especially when you’re already on a 3 hour detour for antiques and a cute soda fountain). .ann.w is the real MVP for traveling back next to that giant lampshade (but it was so good AND that butterfly finial?!). How could I pass it up! We could’ve spent hours in this store! Believe it or not, we rushed and still had our hands full leaving!

🍿🎬 What a dream to see my all time favorite movie at one of my all time favorite places ❤️! I convinced to tag along with me and failed to mention that this film is quite the emotional rollercoaster 🤫😂🫣. I do not typically like sad/emotional movies or shows either but for some reason I have always just loved this one since I first watched it when I was around 10 or 11! It was perfection and the crowd was so into every moment! Make sure to check out the full summer classics lineup coming up all summer at the Kentucky Theatre! I try to go to as many as I can every year!
