Paint it black song mea.ing8/30/2023 It would be a further five months, however, before Ramirez, dubbed the ‘Night Stalker’, was apprehended, bringing to an end a 14-month reign of terror in the Golden State during which a total of 13 people were murdered and 11 more sexually assaulted in their own homes. Dayle’s roommate Maria Hernandez was also shot in the face by Ramirez, but survived, and provided police with a pen portrait of a young man wearing an AC/DC baseball cap. No matter if “Pink Venom” isn’t a particularly boundary-breaking release for the group it’s doing exactly what the lyrics intend: reminding the world who’s in charge.On the evening of March 17, 1985, 25-year-old Texan drifter Richard Ramirez broke into the California homes of Tsai-Lian Yu and Dayle Okazaki and murdered both women. ![]() Jennie takes a similar bow with “I talk that talk, runways I walk, walk,” pointing to her own deal with Chanel. In “This the life of a vandal, masked up and I’m still in Celine/ĭesigner crimes or it wouldn’t be me, ooh,” rapper Lisa references her global ambassadorship with the fashion house, for which she walked the runway this May. Other lyrics are more direct references to the group members’s growing status as international icons. (Petition for a Blackpink feature on 1989 (Taylor’s Version), please and thank you.) The song is catchy but discombobulated, a disorienting blend of rap, floating vocals, and an anti-drop chorus, featuring a few choice Easter eggs in the lyrics.įans have already pointed out that “Kick in the door” is likely a reference to Biggie Smalls, while “One by one and two by two” is a nod at Rihanna’s “Pon de Replay.” The group’s venom references wouldn’t be complete without a wink at the artist perhaps best known for making the snake her sigil: The phrase “Look what you made us do” seems an almost certain hat-tip to Taylor Swift’s Reputation. “Pink Venom” itself was met with mixed reviews among Blackpink fans-known as Blinks-who have waited multiple years for a new, exciting drop from their idols. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play Jennie later added, “Some worry that we might stray away from our identity, but we believe it’s the most distinct and clear way to represent us.” ![]() “Since ‘pink’ and ‘venom’ have contradicting images, we thought they were kind of reminiscent of us…It’s pink venom, a lovely poison, it’s words that most express us.” “Since our album’s title is Born Pink, we wanted to relay our identity in the song as much as we could,” Jennie explained during an online press conference in Seoul timed to the “Pink Venom” release. Don’t ever mistake their kindness for weakness. ![]() Such a paradox, it’s implied, is a good representation of their ethos as a group. “Pink Venom,” they insist, is an inherent contradiction: sweet but deadly, unassuming but powerful. In the new single “Pink Venom,” released ahead of the group’s forthcoming album Born Pink, the Blackpink crew-Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé-attempt to create the right alchemical mix of sugar and spice. As Poison once instructed in the final breath of the ’80s, every rose has its thorn, and the modern K-pop sensation Blackpink would like to capitalize on that proverb.

Cassie and maddy cheer outfits8/30/2023 She often wears colorful, yet structured, graphic-styled makeup that compliments her and her outfits, with sharp winged eyeliner being one of her staples. Maddy has full lips, tan skin, black shoulder-length hair, dark brown eyes, and a slight gap in her front teeth.Īs a byproduct of her pageant years and as a physical aid to her confidence, Maddy is always seen in fashionable clothing: usually, her outfits are two pieced: a slim, flattering top paired with a matching bottom set. ![]() This can only be seen towards Nate, perhaps indicating that Nate brings the worse out of Maddy. She and Nate both constantly use other people and will act in a sexual manner towards them to make each other jealous. On the other hand, Maddy can be seen as immature and jealous. When she is in trouble, she is shown to be extremely emotional and dependent on her friends for comfort. ![]() Maddy has numerous bad traits: she is shown to be extremely selfish, lying about being sexually assaulted and helping Nate get out of a possible charge for hurting her. She also uses her sexuality to her advantage, such as receiving gifts. She often embraces her sexuality (has many one night stands and has no problem asking boys out to dance/make out/kiss her) and has moments of compassion towards her friends and Nate. Additionally, informing Tyler that she is only having sex with him to make her "ex-boyfriend jealous." However, according to Kat, she's self-absorbed and unable to give up Nate.

Maddy defends her friends when others make rude remarks, showing care and sincerity in her actions. Maddy lacks a vocal filter, and is seen as straight forward and honest, she says what is on her mind and has no care what most think of her.

She is found sleeping in her room with BB and Kat. She then is found hooking up in a pool with him when all of a sudden Nate gets mad and calls Maddy a whore, she then responds, "Suck my dick."

After watching the 1995 film Casino, Maddy began to idolize Sharon Stone's portrayal of Ginger McKenna, a rich showgirl who used her looks and wits to manipulate men into supporting her wealth. While studying the rich women whom her mother worked for as an esthetician, Maddy decided that she wanted to become one of them in order to avoid being trapped in a strained, loveless relationship like her mother and father's.Īt some point, Maddy entered a relationship with Nate Jacobs. Despite initial protests (which involved refusing to eat for a week), Maddy began to realize that she enjoyed "not doing anything" and embraced her lack of desire for a career. However, after her mother saw a news report about a pageant coach being arrested as a child molester, she was prohibited from entering any more pageants.
