Here at scarlet HQ we can get bogged down by the fact that nearly EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is SCARLET. Very few things are actual scarlet proof and free of cringe. BUT, sometimes we are allowed to have nice things. Sometimes we are allowed a brief respite from the mort. Enjoy our scarlet proof picks. They are likely all about Beyonce.
Quite frankly, we’re scarlet to only be writing this “review” now. Sometimes when we see things that aren’t scarlet, we actually don’t know what to do. But, in a nutshell: Wonder Woman was NOT SCARLET. Yes, it could have gone further. Been more inclusive. Yes, we still have much more to do. But for now…Here are our unabashed thoughts of what is our favorite film … Continue reading WONDER WOMAN | Scarlet if you haven’t seen it
SCARLET FOR THE PATRIARCHY “We are a group of activist women from a wide variety of backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. Last week, a good number of the left-wing men we work and organise with seriously disappointed us. These men – our friends, our fellow trade unionists, activists, writers, organisers, and artists – shared and commented on a reductive and damaging article written by … Continue reading #COPONCOMRADES
“We’re not bad people, we just did a bad thing.” A line I say being kicked out of a pub, a line John Rayburn says after he kills a member of his family. Poor ol’ John boy. He got himself into a scarlet mess in season 1 and he’s up the fucking walls in season 2 trying to clean it up. I have absolutely no self-control … Continue reading Bloodline Season 2- Review
There are only two ways I discuss my life now: pre and post Lemonade. It’s day 5 of Lemonade life and I WILL NEVER BE DONE. I have too much to discuss, too many questions. What did I even talk about before this? Do Rita Ora & Iggy Azalea cease to exist now that we have sipped this greatness? Did Bey write this entire album in … Continue reading Lemonade Life
Very rarely at Scarlet HQ do we get caught up in political shit-storms. Actually, that is a total lie. We love a bit o drama and feel it’s a really important way to stay on top of the most scarlet happenings ’round the world. Like seriously, Sarah Palin, your 15 minutes are OVER! Okay, before we go there, we know, we know. We already posted about Trump- his … Continue reading Scarlet-Proof Sanders
Oh, Roy. The light of our lives. The angry man of our dreams. So righteous and full of fury. So ridey without us knowing why. Our feelings for you are so confusing. You’re a footballer and they are all dumb shit morons we usually hate but not you. NEVER YOU. YOU are different. Here at Scarlet Brigade we have long swooned over your surly demeanor, … Continue reading In Roy We Trust
Sara Koenig straight up Beyoncéd us last week and dropped season 2 of Serial like it was no big deal. One of the reasons I love her (besides her melodic tone that now voices all my internal monologues), is she simply doesn’t give a fuck. She’s all, “here it is bitches, now shut up cause I gots work to do!” Series 2 of Serial is back and is … Continue reading Serial Scarlet
Ah, lads. It’s Thanksgiving week in the States and despite some seriously horrific and fucked up global events, we still have many things to be thankful for- particularly things that fly in the face of all those nutters who make it their mission to live a life full of evil. In particular this week we saw some magnificently scarlet-proof work: 1.) As brussels was on lock-down, its … Continue reading Scarlet Thanks
The queen’s back, showing these basic bitches how to do it right. Sit your ass down, Miley! I never realised I missed Missy till she came back and now I’m like fuck, I ain’t even move a limb since the last Missy track, I’ve just been crying to Adele and drunkenly apologizing to everyone I know. A usual Friday night call from me: “Yo, Linda, I know we … Continue reading Missy Be Putting It DOWN!
