I haven't had any exciting drinks next week. I feel like I've failed us all as a podcast host because I've been to work essentially. And I've gone to several screenings that haven't had any drinks available. And the one screening I went to I went to the screening of Mean Girls, which was very fun, the new Mean Girls musical film, but that was sponsored by I think Malibu so they had loads of those which was great for the drinkers but not so great for me personally and nothing against it. I understand Malibu has sponsored the event, therefore, they want to put their drinks in front of people. I understand that. But yeah, I was basically left with the choice of Diet Coke or water, the two staples back again, back once again. So I will try and do better than this coming week and actually try some interesting new drinks. Yes. You have, however, profiled somebody who surprisingly turns out to be quite legendary teetotaller. I had no idea please tell me more. I wrote a profile in Empire Magazine this month about Mae West. And Mae West was for those of you who don't know the name was a film star of the sort of 1930s. At one point, she was the second highest paid person in the US behind I think only Rockefeller, and she was a massive, massive success. And she was known for being by the sounds of the time, at least, very sort of sexually suggestive, you know, she was I don't think she ever said a single entendre in her life. I think every single word out of her mouth was a double entendre. But she didn't drink. She said that basically, alcohol cuts down on who you are, why would I need to cut down on who I am? Was her line about it, one of sort of history's famous unlikely if you like teetotallers, because she projected so much appetite in every other aspect of her life that I think she's one of those people that people would never think was teetotal. And you know, the way people associate not drinking with abstinence, I think we've talked about this before, but I have a lot of people, old friends, maybe you haven't seen me in a few years. And let's say we go out for dinner, and they go, Oh, Helen, you're vegetarian, aren't you? But they associated me with some kind of abstinence, and they're not quite sure what there is this perception of non-drinking being a bit, you know, possibly holy, possibly, you know, abstemious, very, very holy, yeah. Someone like my waist just goes to show it's not necessarily that it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with that. Not a moral thing. It's just sometimes I don't particularly like drinking, I don't particularly like the effect it has on me. I don't mind if you do it, I'm totally fine with that. All of her films basically take place in you know, speakeasies and nightclubs, and everything else. She was very comfortable, very at home being around drinkers, she just didn't do it herself, you know. So that's what a woman said for not needing help. In that way. I very much went around this in the wrong way. Because I always associated not drinking with some kind of lack, like, Oh, you're missing out or blah, blah, blah, and that sort of thing. Or, oh, but cocktails are delicious. wine is delicious, both of which are true, true. But sometimes I think certain ways of using alcohol can also be illustrative of a lack. Whether it's reassurance or comfort in a situation or something. So that is really cheered me up. Wasn't she? Is there a gun in your? Is that a gun in your pocket? Are you just pleased as seeming, she also said what I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better. Gorgeous. That was to Cary Grant, by the way, who she cast opposite her as her love interest in one of his very early films. The woman had taste.
