The new film Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson as a high-end matchmaker named Lucy, delves into the transactional and often delusional world of modern dating, particularly as experienced by her wealthy clients in New York City. While the movie aims to offer a sharp, even cynical, look at the pursuit of love, its portrayal of matchmaking and the expectations of potential mates has sparked strong reactions from real-life matchmakers.The core of the film's narrative, and a point of contention for many real matchmakers, lies in the delusion of the potential mates. Lucy's clients are often characterized by their highly specific, almost superficial, checklists for an ideal partner – focusing on attributes like height, net worth, and a perfect "image." This "build a bear" approach, as one matchmaker describes it, sets unrealistic expectations, leading clients to chase an unattainable ideal rather than seeking genuine connection. The film highlights how individuals, driven by the curated realities of social media and a culture of commodification, believe they can simply "recreate" a perfect partner.This delusion is not confined to the fictional world of Materialists but resonates deeply with everyday dating life. In a landscape saturated with dating apps and curated online profiles, individuals often fall into the trap of viewing potential partners as a collection of desirable traits rather than complex individuals. This "materialistic" approach to love, where people are "objectified" and "commodified," as writer-director Celine Song herself notes, fosters a superficial pursuit that often leads to disappointment and a struggle to find true compatibility.While some aspects of Lucy's dedication to her clients and her post-date follow-ups are recognized as realistic, real matchmakers largely critique Materialists for its unrealistic depiction of their profession. They point out that true matchmaking involves far more than simply fulfilling a checklist; it requires deep emotional intelligence, building trust, and often challenging clients' preconceived notions to help them find meaningful relationships. The film's emphasis on dramatic, ethically questionable scenarios (like stalking or the mishandling of client safety) further deviates from the professional standards and community-driven nature of the actual matchmaking industry. Ultimately, Materialists serves as a cinematic reflection on the often-delusional pursuit of the "perfect" partner in contemporary dating, highlighting the gap between idealized expectations and the messy, human reality of finding love.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X or TikTok or LinkedIn @kingofpodcastsFind KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comBuy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcastsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.

En este episodio me meto de lleno en uno de los proyectos más especiales que he liderado en Londres: el diseño de varias cocinas dentro de un edificio británico con un valor arquitectónico único. Te cuento cómo el propio edificio se convirtió en el hilo conductor del diseño, y cómo tradujimos su esencia en cocinas que combinan tradición y contemporaneidad. Desde puertas shaker reinterpretadas hasta fregaderos tallados en bloques de piedra, cada elección está pensada para generar presencia, peso visual y valor inmobiliario. Si estás diseñando una propiedad, invirtiendo en una reforma o simplemente te apasiona el interiorismo que va más allá de lo superficial, este episodio es para ti. Además, comparto claves que cualquier inversor debería tener en cuenta: cómo una cocina puede elevar el valor de una vivienda y por qué los detalles marcan la diferencia (spoiler: sí, incluso el fregadero).   Gracias por darle al play. Miriam Prada Un poco sobre mí... Soy Ingeniera de la Edificación y diseñadora de interiores, me he especializado en proyectos de alta gama. Con 15 años de experiencia en la industria del diseño, he tenido el privilegio de colaborar con una amplia gama de clientes, incluyendo promotores, constructores, agentes de la propiedad inmobiliaria, empresarios y clientes privados. He completado con éxito más de 25 proyectos en siete países diferentes (España, Reino Unido, Bahréin, India, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, y Suiza) y he tenido el placer de trabajar con clientes de 11 nacionalidades. Mi proyecto de más valía hasta la fecha supera los 50 millones de libras, y uno de mis logros más destacados fue el diseño de una promoción de 16 apartamentos, donde el ático se posicionó con un récord histórico como el piso de un dormitorio mejor pagado por metro cuadrado en la historia de Westminster, Londres. Actualmente vivo en Londres y continúo trabajando en múltiples proyectos locales e internacionales. Aprovechando las capacidades del mundo digital, he producido y lanzado este podcast, "Atelier Prada", donde, de manera distendida y coloquial, abordo diferentes temas del mundo del interior con el objetivo de compartir parte del conocimiento que he adquirido durante estos años cada semana.  Para obtener más inspiración en diseño de interiores   www.miriamprada.com https://miriamprada.com/podcasts/ https://www.youtube.com/@miriamprada https://www.instagram.com/miriamprada_interior https://www.tiktok.com/@miriamprada_interior    Aviso legal: Nadie patrocina este PODCAST.

We sent one of our team, Linda Higgins, to investigate the The Chancery Hotel in Dublin as potential destination for out of town tech visitors to the capital city. Right in the heart of historic Dublin, a stone's throw from both Dublin Castle and Christchurch cathedral, the Chancery Hotel offers a visitor a well-placed location to navigate and explore the streets of Dublin by foot. A welcoming, bright, and compact foyer holds the reception, coffee dock, bar, and the Fawn restaurant. An attentive staff moved through check-in and check-out quickly and seamlessly. The Chancery Hotel reviewed The lifts are door-key activated and give that extra sense of security and privacy. The twin room was compact, well-appointed, and furnished in a modern but warm style of decor. All lights and curtains are touch-button operated as was the pocket door for the bathroom. The room was very clean with nice touches like a steamer for clothes, along with all other standard amenities. The beds were comfortable however for anyone with mobility issues, the height of the beds could be disconcerting. While one likes to be treated like a princess, climbing up and into the bed, "princess and the pea-style" could be a little daunting for those shorter of stature or creaky of hips. The room was quiet and sleep was good. For those who are here for work, there is a perfectly proportioned desk with lamp, phone, and comfortable desk in chair in the room. Nice natural light coming in too. USB sockets were ample (by the desk and beds) and the WiFi speed was fast and reliable. A perfect place to get some work done. The small bar area below would also provide a change of scenery, as would the many convenient options around the city. The toiletries in the bathroom were generously sized and of a very high quality. The forest green-piped bathrobes and slippers were perfect for accessing the wellness spa and treatment rooms. The spa and gym are small and functional but well looked after and nicely designed. A small sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and ice fountain proved to be a good start to the day. The supply of drinking water and slippers were welcome touches and the sustainability aspects were clearly noted without being overt. The gym is perfect for a quick workout and in a city built for walking is all you would need. The treatment rooms could benefit from more subdued lighting to create a more relaxed environment when receiving a treatment. The therapist was very proficient but a more personalised massage would have heightened the experience. The option of some gentle music would have been welcomed. Dinner in the Fawn restaurant was superb. Beautiful service from the staff which was attentive and welcoming. The food was presented in an attractive and moreish manner. Lots of umami flavour that meant each mouthful was a feast for the senses. Portions were generous and each element on the plate was well thought out. The service between courses was never rushed but was well-timed. The decor of the restaurant is modern with a warm Scandinavian energy. The self-service breakfast was also in the Fawn restaurant. Again, the staff are very aware of the ebb and flow of a staggered breakfast sitting and moved seamlessly between guests ensuring that tea and coffee were served when requested. There was a wide and excellent mix of standard and continental breakfast options available. There was no sense of urgency from staff as people milled and took their time before embarking on the day. Overall, an excellent experience. A safe, secure, convenient location with attentive staff (from housekeeping to front of house). Well worth a stay when visiting Dublin. One caveat is that in the room brochure information it would have been good to have known more about the beehive, mushroom kingdom and the rooftop garden as well, as they sounded like interesting and cutting edge features, especially for a hotel with such a commitment to sustainability.

This episode comes to you live from AAPD in Denver, Colorado! Dr. Corey Hastings and I had a great time on the floor meeting other dentists and doing some networking. We had a ton of ambitious young docs come up to us and share their stories. Based on our feedback, Corey and I estimate that we've helped somewhere between 60-80 people start their own practice. Corey and I ordered some old fashions and share some of our thoughts about the new Cain Watters Practice Comparison Report. This is a report that shares practice production, collection, overhead, wages, etc. of mature pediatric practices that work with Cain Watters. We discuss some of the trends we are seeing, and why some of these numbers may be misleading.

Sean "Diddy" Combs has bolstered his legal team by adding two new high-profile attorneys: Anthony Ricco, a renowned trial lawyer, and Alexandra Shapiro, an appellate expert. This decision comes amid his ongoing legal battle after his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs is accused of being involved in a wide-ranging conspiracy, leading to a highly publicized case. His legal team is now making a third attempt to secure his release on bail after previous denials.In their latest filing, Combs' defense proposed a $50 million bail package, which included stringent conditions such as no female visitors outside his family. Despite this, U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter denied the request, citing concerns that Combs remained a danger to the public. His lawyers continue to argue for his release, claiming that he is innocent and poses no flight risk.(commercial at 9:30)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy enlists high-powered legal team for THIRD bail attempt... two weeks after his arrest for sex trafficking charges | Daily Mail Online

As any established photographer will tell you, forging a career can be a long and arduous journey, with no instruction manual to guide you through the process. The lofty world of top-notch pros is often shrouded in mystery and full of things they don't teach in photo school. In today's show, we get to peek behind the scenes of this complex, and often chaotic environment in a chat with two colleagues who've found a way to balance their freelance careers as independent creators with lucrative work assisting in a high-profile photo studio. Listen in, to learn how a casual job application through LinkedIn landed Mike Foley an interview, ultimately resulting in a salaried role as first assistant to a world-class portrait photographer. While technical mastery counts for a lot, we discuss the critical importance of soft skills like personality and work ethic to success in such environments. We also distinguish between salaried full-time work and more common freelance roles, and the juggling required to coordinate the complex planning involved.  As freelance lighting assistant (and longtime café owner) Alex Savidis admits, “the juggle becomes quite hard at times, but I think it's a necessity, especially when you're trying to pursue something that you're passionate about. You can't just become a successful photographer overnight. It takes years to build up to that.” Guests: Mike Foley & Alex Savidis Episode Timeline: 2:57: Mike Foley describes heirloom portraiture as his bespoke brand of portrait with the ability to last a lifetime. 5:10: The backstory to Mike getting hired as a photo assistant for a world class portrait photographer. 11:25: The personality and skill set needed to work in a high-end photo studio, Alex's take on being added to the team, plus the various roles within the studio. 17:30: The role of a B-cam operator to capture the finer details of a video shoots, plus an overview of a typical shoot day. 23:05: Mike talks about the video work in his portfolio as a differentiating factor in his getting the assisting job. 28:23: The work structure and expectations for photo assistants, from freelance to salaried positions, plus discussion about length of tenure. 34:50: Episode Break 35:55: Memorable stories from the studio—from the largest two-day shoot with a crew of 150, to the core personnel involved in work-a-day shoots. 42:28: NDA's and the etiquette of what an assistant is able to share when dealing with high-end clients. 46:30: The growing acceptance of photographers who do freelance work and juggle regular 9-5 jobs with photo assignments.   52:07: Learning outcomes from working in a world class portrait studio, and the mindset to hold yourself to a higher standard. 57:49: Mike and Alex share advice for budding photographers based on what they've learned from working in a world-class photo studio.   Guest Bios:  Mike Foley is a New York City-based photographer specializing in heirloom portraiture and editorial photography. After starting out photographing weddings and small events, Mike quickly grew into commercial work, providing clients with timeless images they can use to elevate their visual presence and define their brand. His approach behind the camera is warm and humanistic, allowing his subjects the space to be themselves. In addition to his own photo services, Mike is currently content manager and digital designer for an internationally renowned portrait photographer. On set, he serves as first assistant and B-camera operator, while also providing on-set and post-production support behind the scenes for clients like Balenciaga, New York Magazine, and many more. Australian native Alex Savidis is passionate about storytelling through both still and moving imagery. Based in New York since 2020, he pushes creative boundaries by merging elements from his street and landscape photography into his portraiture & wedding work, weaving memories into art. For the past year and a half, Alex has also worked as lighting assistant and B cam operator in the same high-profile portrait studio as Mike, catering to world-renowned clients and political leaders. On B cam, it's his job to focus on finer details and provide viewers with a deeper, more intimate perspective on a given subject, capturing nuances that enhance the storytelling. Additionally, when he's not juggling camera gear or fine-tuning lights, you can find Alex behind the counter of the café Regular NYC in southern Manhattan, an establishment he founded in early 2024.
