Just B Rant: 2025: A Space Odyssey

that is a monumental thing, like going to space. You know, I think it's a big deal to go to Australia, So I'm going to say it's a big deal to go to space. Someone someone asks you if you want to go to space, you're considering it. Someone did mention the trip to me, and it was something in my mind as a concept I thought of, and it's certainly something you're thinking about. But like I do remember being

like the why. You know, with everything I do, for I'm an experience, from a travel from an appearance standpoint, there's usually a why. And for me, for me personally doing something like that, I don't have the why. I'm a mother and my daughter really depends on me, and I have a normal rational amount of fear. But overall it's like what's the why that I'm going to do something When I get on a plane and sitting coach and go into Guatemala and it's like not safe, and

I'm a little scared. I'm not bringing my daughter because it's not safe, and I'm going and there is a risk, even though I'm a mother. But there's such a reward in doing relief work and trying to help people, and so that is where I weigh it for me. I guess if I were taking a spaceship to save people's lives, would I do it? Probably? But not? I don't know.

I mean, I got into some gnarly territory with the pandemic and with the PPE, and I almost ruined my career in the sense that, like, I was taking a lot of risks. I was sending thirteen million dollars of Haasmat suits to the government, and like it was scary because we were dealing with counterfeit people and just like I've dealt with some gnarly shit in my life. So

I don't know the why of going to space. Now there's a battle going on online about was it really like a woman kind step or was it just an advertisement for space? Tourism, which is also like valid too, like space tourism, maybe a thing one day we would have never thought you could be on a plane to begin with. Or you know, everything is about evolution, so things that seem crazy now will one day make sense.

But whatever it is, this did not land from a pr standpoint, and there are so many things about it, comical and otherwise to get into. So number one, it's a group of six women, strong, successful women that are wealthy and famous and privileged, and they went on a trip. Now they're entitled, not unlike going on a private jet or a yacht to go to the south of France, like, they can do what they want. They wanted to go,

they were each invited. It was an experience. You know, people defended their own homes in Malibu with private firefighters. It wasn't looked highly upon by other people because it didn't seem that community. But nevertheless they protected their own homes and that's presumably why they made money to protect their own homes. So we can all sit in, you know, on the outside, looking into something. But six women decided collectively and individually to go to space, to have an experience,

to do something innovative. I don't think they did it for the PR. I think they thought the PR would be good because it sounds really like, you know, intense and serious and like something groundbreaking, because it is they went to space, and they decided to go to space, so they went to space together. But here's where it took a turn. It took a turn because I don't

know if this is true or fiction. Someone said Oscar to lorent to design the outfits, and they had these like tight outfits on, like I guess people were saying as like lycra or spandex. So like I get the idea of that. They were like where girl bosses and we're wearing these outfits. But that didn't land. And I get why that didn't land. It's like sort of focusing on the wrong thing and almost like making a joke

out of it kind of. So there's that there were no actual real astronauts, so it's like this is going to be all this money spent and people going to get to go to space, and so people who spent their whole life studying or aspiring or dreaming to go to space that actually are professionals in that field aren't going.

But like that's a touching story. A lot of archaeologists or ourn't historians want to go to Egypt, and rich people can go to Egypt, so like, okay, you know, like everybody wants to turn it everything, but this is not you know, this isn't a charity event they were doing. They were going to space, but it was highly publicized and they did marketing for it, so they are open to the scrutiny that they're getting. Because the one thing that I do understand and that I've talked about is

I don't like girl boss quote unquote mentality. I don't like performative girl boss language act like we're bad bitches, we're a girl But like, I understand that there are people in the world, myself being one of them, that are bad bitch girl bosses, like Martha Stewart's a bad bitch girl boss, so is Oprah Winfrey, so is on

a win tour. But the people that really are aren't putting forth the boss bitch mentality, the narrative, and so these women there was an essence to this whole thing that it's giving like forced girl boss, and it turned people off and it also really alienated the base of women and moms, because there was language which the women spoke with, which provided like a faux spirituality aspect, like, you know, we're connected and we're all together and it's

the world. And I understand where they were coming from and saying that they're allowed to have a perspective. Just because you're rich doesn't mean you don't have a perspective. They were in a spaceship, they saw the earth, they felt something, they felt connected. This can all be real. It's all not the content, it's the delivery. It was the packaging, the wrapping, the messaging. It did not land

no matter what. So the average American woman, who is the base, the purchasers of products, the loudest voice in the country, an important vote, a woman who really matters. I know this more than anyone. I understand these people. Okay, I love these people. I you know, have been broke and been rich, and so I feel like I kind

of understand. I can't say that I'm not privileged. I can't say that I you know, I am not closer to the group that went on the spaceship than the woman in America who intimately understands the price of eggs. I'm not gonna costplay something I'm not just because I go to Tjmax and Dollar Store. I'm not going to costplay understanding the plight of a woman who is working two jobs and trying to make ends meet. But I

understand the problem with this. I understand why that woman is, like, why are you publicly acting like this mission makes you connected to me and we're the same. You had to go to Space to realize something that isn't even true because we're not the same, because we're not dealing with the same issues. Because you went to Space in an oscar to lorent to outfit and you know, also the women were kind of in glam and I feel like

that didn't totally land. It doesn't mean it's wrong. It was their Space trip, not unlike them going to Morocco or a housewives trip or the millions of bullshitarians on TikTok that are criticizing this, that also watch content of people that are billionaires at open air mes boxes like you can't pick and choose, but they are picking and choosing because this is the thing that they just didn't like.

Now you had Chris and Chloe on the tarmac, the Space tarmac or whatever you call the launching pad and Oprah, and it's just adding to the privilege that people just don't want to see but they know exist. It just is one of these things that was like spoon fed, force fed to them and it's not landing. They didn't like it, and I again understand why it's not landing. And then you have celebrities on the ground. Amy Schumer

made fun of it. Em Rada, a gorgeous, wealthy supermodel in a Mercedes Sprinter full disclosure of car that I had guilty as charged in a Mercedes Sprinter, discussing the privilege and waste of resources. Now it's twenty eight million dollars, that's a lot of money, but that is wasted every

day by different rich people everywhere. Okay, people adore and love Taylor Swift, but you know people have called her out for her private jet usage, and Kylie's up on that list, like and Leonardo DiCaprio is flying private but then talking about the earth, like, you know, unless you're gonna be Fred and Wilma Flintstone billionaires that are gonna start the car at the bottom of your feet, you're gonna contribute. I'm not the best recycler. I'm trying to

eliminate plastic. I just went through my entire attic to get rid of a bunch of shit, and there's all this wasted fucking Halloween costumes in Eastern It's like, get rid of it, you can buy it again. Right then, I'm gonna buy this crap again and contribute more to the landfill, garbage, crap, fast fashion. So like, we all do our part, and you can't decide to cherry pick what's right and what's wrong. It's twenty eight million dollars.

That's a lot of money, but there are ten people at the top of my head I can think of, you know, flying private planes to Coachella that literally added up to twenty eight million dollars or twenty five people. And so people aren you know, spending ten thousand dollars on tenths to listen to music and play like their bohem and fly in on Gulf Streams, which you know cost one hundred and fifty thousand dollars each flight, and

then the fuel. So I'm just saying Devil's advocate Emorda is in a Mercedes Sprinter talking about privilege and waste of resources, and I can't fucking wait for Saturday Night Live, like I need to play Amorda in the car. It's just and I like Amorta, and she made a point, but it's just funny also when it's like, these people don't live the life of the woman who you know intimately understands the price of eggs and milk. So the whole thing, as I said in a TikTok, it's a

circular reference of satire. The whole Space Odyssey is a complete bag of bullshit from head to toe, and everyone commenting on it, like you just have to say, people did what the fuck they want and that's why they went to space, and you wanted to go or you didn't want to go, And it's being publicized because it doesn't feel like something that happens every day. And now people aren't having it. They just don't like the way

it's been fed to them. So sorry, you're welcome. I've been thinking about the Space Odyssey and Oprah and Chris Jenner and Chloe Kardashian being on this Space tarmac, and it's reminding me of something that I've thought for a while, which is that in many cases, the sum is greater

than its parts, meaning boats rise with the tide. So like you get Kim Kardashian and Kanye together as celebrities, but together they were stratospheric George Clooney and Amal, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham, Like there are situations where two people get together Jay Z and Beyonce and the combination is explosive, And then there are examples of combinations that trigger people. So when you get together a certain type

and level of privilege, it triggers people. So when you get Megan Markle and Oprah and Ellen together in Montecito, while they're all smart, successful, strong, beautiful women, it bothers people because it's sort of like a rich person's club. When you get Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and Trump together, it bothers people, like it turns people off about the individuals where it's not a sum is greater than its parts. Okay, you got Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos together and that

was a sum is greater than its parts. Like he seemed like a nerdy Amazon guy married to like a normal intellectual a woman and she was not really known at all, but the combination was like Bam and she's lying helicopters, and it's like, okay, they're on the map. But when you put Lauren Sanchez together with the Kardashians, it reaches a point of diminishing return. Now it feels like the Kardashians are hanging out with Lauren Sanchez because

she's marrying a billionaire. And now it seems like Lauren Sanchez is hanging out with the Kardashians because it's like, now we're all rich and famous together and we hang out on the back of boats. So Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos elevates both of them, Lauren Sanchez and the

Kardashians takes it all down. And I know you agree because I know it's true because I hear people like ugh and it's like why, uh, you may like them individually, like, you can't disrespect what the Kardashians have built as entrepreneurs, as business people, as you know, influencers. You can like them, you can hate them, but you can't knock it. Megan

Markle moves product has influence. Is a beautiful woman bagged and landed a prince in her own right as a successful actress, and he feels lucky to be with two of them in ways elevated each other, like he was sort of the other son. She was an unknown actress by most people, and together they became relevant and they became a unit. So it's just an interesting concept how we are the company we keep and people judge it differently. Sometimes you get with someone and it's like a power

couple or a power combat. Okay, Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift, that's like elevated. It used to be Blake Lively in that group sort of, but and now Blake Lively is a drag on the ticket. But like you get these like young supermodels together, you're like, oh my god, we caught Gig and Bella and this one out to dinner like bam, we like it. But then you have other ones added to the mixture, like, eh, drag on the ticket.

So I just find it to be an interesting concept, Like people do judge us by who we associate with, and sometimes we think it's good for us. I've thought it was Wow, I can't believe I'm invited to this, And then people around me and like, eh, I don't know if I like that. Look for you. Now I choose who I'm hanging out with. And sometimes I think someone's more elevated than people around me think like they're like, ugh, that is not the best look for you right now.

Even if it's someone who's well known that looks trashy for you, I don't think that's the right look for you, you know. Like, so, if you are trying to build an image, this has nothing to do with who you're actually good friends with. Okay, I don't count brand new friends in the entertainment industry as friends like my friends

I've had since high school. Those are the people that if there was a body in a dumpster or in the trunk of my car, they wouldn't I wouldn't even have to say, don't say anything, Okay, where's the shovel? But like anybody new in the land of Hollywood, you know, that's all fair game. And basically, people need to understand that there is an association and a connotation to people that we associate with the most, to the consort, to the conser
