Of Ms Phipps, who was born Nellie Bernice Bogdon, the New York Times wrote in 2008: “Draped in silk and fur, her auburn curls bobbed and shellacked, Phipps glowed from the pages of Photoplay, Screen Secrets and Motion Picture Classic. From 1926 to 1929, she vamped through 20 films for Fox Movietone City Studio, a comic sexpot whose innocently naughty antics were the very embodiment of flaming youth. Off-screen, too, Phipps played the flapper — smoking, tangoing, dating older men and tooling around Hollywood in a shiny roadster with bulging headlights and leather seats.”
vampsandflappers: Pioneering novelist and screenwriter Anita Loos, shown here in the 1920s.

Her biggest success was writing the novel GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, made into a movie at least twice.
This is the funniest she ra criticism I’ve seen in my life

It’s like wanting to reboot Garfield, but because you couldn’t get the official rights to the characters, you make John a black obese guy, you make Garfield a purple giraffe who hates weekends and loves cucumbers, you make Oddie a crippled horse with one front left leg and one right back leg, and you make Arlene a Hispanic cricket.
But just because you want to still call it Garfield, you just slap that name on there and call it a day.
Exactly people aren’t upset that some characters are gay, people are upset that the art style sucks and it has nothing to do with the original show.
Looool ok
As someone who grew up with the original she-ra I WISH I’d had this version.
I like the content the art style on the other hand was a choice that took some “getting used to” and I still think the art style they used for the masters reboot would have been better. Also love that idea for garfield the
