Hey @MovieAddict! Been a min. :purple_heart: Hope youā€™ve been well. Also, ā€œGRODYā€ is hands down my favorite. I want to start using it all the time now. :laughing: Ew, grody!

I thought of something music-nerdy/year-appropriate earlier. I know youā€™re a fan too, and I have it on good authority that Gal Gadot is as well, so since youā€™re hereā€”this oneā€™s for you!


(ahem) :face_with_monocle: This week in November of 1984, Madonna released the single ā€œLike a Virginā€. It would reach Number 1 by December, stay there for a six more weeks, and go 3x platinum by the end of January. :purple_heart: Enjoy! :dancer:t2: :notes: :microphone: (starts dramatically singing along)
