The first Torrid store - Brea Mall - Brea, CA (Opened April 18, 2001)

From the book: “The retailer, Hot Topic, based in City of Industry, CA, started a short 12 years ago with a concept and a target market; cutting edge apparel, accessories and novelty items--all inspired by alternative music, oriented towards a hip and trendy, teenage market. Hot Topic changed the look of their retail settings, which are usually located in mainstream malls, and the company has recently taken aim at another special market. The new focus is on plus-size teens; an area that the fashion market seems to have neglected.

Up until this time the 15-30 year old hip and trendy young women who wear sizes 14-26 had no other choice but to shop in the larger size women's shops where the fashions were tailored to the more matronly and conservative tastes. That is how Torrid was born!

Torrid was introduced in a new, hot and fun retail setting designed by JGA, Inc. of Southfield, MI which has designed the various prototypes for the Hot Topic stores as well. To be sure of the need for such a niche to be filled, the company opened five Torrid shops almost simultaneously; the first in Brea, CA, followed by stores in malls in Mission Viejo, CA, Annapolis, MD, Omaha, NE, N. Attleboro, MA, and Littleton, CO. The merchandise offerings are clustered as "Streetwear," "Clubwear," Rockabilly Wear," and Renaissance Wear" and the stores average about 2,750 SF. Besides the "everyday" slacks and novelty T-shirts, these larger size young women can find black vinyl pants and mini-skirts, black corsets, dog-collar chokers and platform shoes as well as retro-inspired clothing and accessories. In addition to the gothic and prom dresses, Torrid also carries a full line of lingerie for this particular market. Listening to the target market, Hot Topic's Torrid offers teenagers and up the opportunity to look "girly yet fierce."

The design objective for the prototype store that was designed by JGA, Inc. was to create "a celebration of abundance" and make the setting as unique, unconventional and spirited as the plus-size young women who will be shopping here. Inspired by a "mythological, after-hours club in New Orleans," the atmosphere is romantic, dark and filled with a sense of "unbridled passion." "From the signature flaming heart icon to the curving voluptuous lines throughout the store, excessive materials and scale mirror the zest of the Torrid woman." It starts out front with the shopper-stopping facade which serves as a dramatic gateway to the store.

The curvaceous and sensuous "hourglass" figures of the Torrid customer is expressed in the hand-crafted metalwork and the backlit translucent glass glowing red. A "drippy" red chandelier and the hand blown flaming heart torcheres add to the store's distinctive sense of place and being. The mosaic porcelain tile floor sets the color palette of jewel tones and metallics. "Visually complex, layers of finishes and architectural pieces evoke a one-of-a-kind artistic flavor." The eclectic mix of fixtures, furniture and furnishings-even the armoires--add to the New Orleans flavor. The hand painted, whimsical and overscaled armoires or cabinets are used to anchor the various zones within the store and at the center of the space a large bronze metallic drape further divides the departments.

The designers added special touches to each area to create that unique, one-of-a-kind feeling to the design. Specially designed, oversized red sculptured chairs with slatted backs are featured in the shoe area. Shoes and accessories are displayed on the slatted backs. The lingerie area takes on a more intimate and exotic--almost Moroccan--feeling with the hand blown glass chandeliers suspended down from large plaster domes. Seen behind this area--beyond a hand painted wall and arc--are the individual, oversized dressing rooms which are equipped with flattering uplights and decorative chandeliers that are visible from other parts of the store. The cash wrap becomes a "focal fantasy" in the total design and it resembles a giant canopy bed topped with twisting shapes and forms.

The space is filled with a pulsating excitement that is so appropriate for the merchandise and the young clientele. In addition to the shimmering palette of rich, deep colors, the warm colored downlights not only enrich the ambient colors and textures but they enhance the merchandise display. The traditional long and narrow mall space is broken up into more personal and individual zones by the variations in ceiling heights, the tin ceilings, finials and the assorted wall coverings. The use of brocades, metallics, and jewel tones on the walls also help to differentiate areas in the store. The metal fixture system--tortoise shell like in appearance--was customized to accommodate the products unique size and length requirements.

If all goes as well as anticipated we can expect to see more and more Torrid shops opening up across the USA- maybe even as many as 700 outlets!”

rejected riverdale fic ideas

sam and dean winchester hear about the gargoyle king and assume he must be supernatural and spend three weeks chasing a sentient teleporting pile of sticks around the woods before figuring out it's not actually teleporting there's just like 6 different people all concurrently wearing the costume and murdering people

the teen wolf gang take a vacation in riverdale and get trapped in the town's temporal vortex (personally I like to think of it as the timehole but many disagree) and have to figure out how to escape

chose your own adventure fic where you have to stop archie from becoming aware that he's in a fictional narrative and going on a murder spree (again)

jughead jones makes a deal with bill cipher and unleashes weirdmageddon and the gang have to defeat him

the gang discover FP made a deal with bill cipher and unleashed weirdmageddon years ago and that's why riverdale is Like That. no one defeats him, they figure out the mystery and then just go on with their lives because they're all used to it

betty cooper and hannibal lecter team up to fight the trashbag killer

instead of going to hell when he dies, dean winchester accidentally takes a wrong turn and ends up in the great big diner in the sky, riverdale's canonical afterlife, and cas has to figure out how to get him back before someone notices that he lost the michael sword

the same except it happens instead of going to purgatory rather than hell, and benny is the new line cook at pops. he's still a vampire. this is never explained.

instead of whitby, dracula lands in riverdale and the gang have to stop him lucy westernra-ing cheryl

betty the vampire slayer

a tokyo ghoul fusion where it's revealed that half the cast are man-eating monsters disguised as humans. surprisingly little changes except that they resolve the farm plotline by eating edgar evernever.

cheryl's parents are revealled to be hydra agents and they try to use the winter soldier to assassinate hiram lodge but the power of friendship and milkshakes restores bucky's memories

mystery inc investigate the gargoyle king and reveal him to be clifford blossom after a series of light-hearted slapstick chase scenes. the riverdale gang are fully aware that mystery inc are opperating on cartoon logic, and are deeply disturbed by this

instead of washington, warlock's parents move to riverdale, and aziraphale and crowly have to live there while they co-parent the antichrist. (they both notice that tabith is an angel but assume she is aware of this and are much too polite to mention it to her)

cheryl blossom joins the x-men

cheryl blossom joins the brotherhood of evil mutants

toni topaz is given the outsider's mark after empress cheryl is murdered and must rescue britta from the loyalist conspiracy

betty is recruited to the beareau of control

the doctor visits riverdale and reveals that it's actually one of the time war battlefields, hence the timehole, and the gang are all daleks, except reggie, who is a timelord

Cheryl's russian spy parents open a gateway to the upsidedown in the palladium mines under riverdale and unleash a demogorgon on the town

archie is superman and veronica is lex luthor and riverdale is smallville

the entire show is revealed to be evelyn evernever's dream, and also evelyn is confirmed to exst in the tommy westphall universe

what if riverdale but a harem anime

archie is bella swan and veronica and betty are edward and jacob.(jughead is alice. obviously).

stranger things except instead of the upsidedown the dimensional gateways open onto rivervale

just the show loki except instead of the junkyard people the tva pruned go to riverdale. richard e grant loki becomes the new principle at the high school

after archie becomes aware that he's in a fictional narrative, he gains the ability to enter the white space between comics pannels and joins the x-statix

jughead is revealed to be entirely in archie's head, ala fight club

inception fusion where archie and the gang have to go inside hiram's mind to convince him not to bulldoze riverdale to make way for more paladium mines

dilton doily moves to nightvale to work with carlos the scientist and finds to surprisingly peaceful

regency au where alice cooper has to find respectable husbands for betty polly and ethel before anyone finds out about her husband being a serial killer and they become socially ruined

#riverdale #not gonna lie i'm legitimately tempted to write the betty the vampire slayer one #i'm not tempted to write the 'stranger things but the gates open on rivervale' one but i would absolutely read it if someone else did

The Next Big Thing: Exploring the World of Cash App Clone

In today's fast-paced world, managing finances has become more convenient than ever before, thanks to the emergence of innovative mobile applications. Among these, the Cash App has garnered significant attention for its user-friendly interface and seamless money transfer capabilities. But what if you could replicate its success with your own custom solution? Enter the Cash App Clone – a revolutionary concept that is reshaping the financial landscape.

Understanding the Cash App Phenomenon

Cash App, developed by Square Inc., has become synonymous with peer-to-peer payments, allowing users to send and receive money effortlessly. With its straightforward design and intuitive features, it has amassed millions of users worldwide, transforming the way people handle their finances.

The Birth of Cash App Clone

Inspired by the success of the Cash App, developers and entrepreneurs have sought to create their own versions of this popular platform. These clones aim to replicate the core functionalities of the Cash App while offering additional features tailored to specific user needs.

How Does a Cash App Clone Work?

A Cash App Clone operates on a similar principle to its predecessor – facilitating secure transactions between users. Users can link their bank accounts or debit cards to the app, enabling them to send money to friends, family, or merchants with just a few taps on their smartphone.

Features That Make a Cash App Clone Stand Out

While the basic premise remains consistent across Cash App Clone, developers often integrate unique features to differentiate their product. These may include:

In-app chat functionality for seamless communication.

Integration with popular payment gateways for added convenience.

Personalized reward programs to incentivize usage.

Budgeting tools and financial insights to help users manage their money effectively.

Benefits of Using a Cash App Clone

The adoption of a Cash App Clone offers numerous benefits to both individuals and businesses alike:

Convenience: Instantly send or receive money anytime, anywhere.

Accessibility: Reach a broader audience with cross-platform compatibility.

Cost-effectiveness: Avoid the hefty transaction fees associated with traditional banking methods.

Security: Benefit from robust encryption protocols to safeguard sensitive information.

Flexibility: Customize the app to suit your specific requirements, whether it's for personal use or business transactions.

Security Measures to Safeguard Your Transactions

With the proliferation of digital payment solutions, security concerns have understandably become a top priority for users. Cash App Clone addresses these concerns by implementing stringent security measures, such as:

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is used to prevent unauthorized access.

End-to-end encryption to protect sensitive data during transmission.

Regular security audits and updates to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Future Prospects of Cash App Clones

As society continues to embrace digitalization, the demand for innovative financial solutions is expected to soar. Cash App Clone is well-positioned to capitalize on this

trend, offering a convenient and secure alternative to traditional banking methods. With ongoing advancements in technology, the possibilities for future iterations of Cash App Clone are virtually limitless.

In conclusion, the rise of Cash App Clone represent a paradigm shift in how we interact with money. By harnessing the power of mobile technology, these clones empower users to take control of their finances with ease and confidence. Whether you're a tech-savvy individual or a forward-thinking entrepreneur, embracing this revolution could be the key to unlocking financial freedom in the digital age.

Ready to explore the future of financial technology? Dive into the world of Cash App clone and discover the next big thing in digital transactions. Join us at Omninoz to stay ahead of the curve and revolutionize the way you handle your finances. Let's embark on this exciting journey together!

[Role Reversal Inside Job ft. Brett and Reagan]

I've suddenly been assaulted with ideas of Inside Job Role Reversal that I wanted to share. So Here ya go. Inspired by @drewcahndo thanks dude! I love your art, it really got my brain flowing.

Reagan Ridley

Born into a family with a more "decent" Rand Ridley. Still works in Cognito Inc with JR. He's still pretty crap but I guess less crappy. He's elitist and still looks down on everything but he's actually put together and not drunk.

Cognito Inc was and is kept a secret from Reagan and thus was never subjected to high expectations and large goals. She thinks her dad is a robotics engineer making toys.

Altho prodigious, it didn’t quite reach the expected smarts that would impress and garner her father's attention. And so her brain was under utilised and not as trained as og! Reagan.

Altho Rand Ridley has a semblance of care for her Reagan, he ends up neglecting her, but also spoiling her with inventions and toys, an actually functioning Bear-o.

Bear-o basically became her main crutch. She was interested in robotics bc of Bear-o, but it never lead anywhere aside from watching her father work and do calculations and the few books she smuggled yet barely understood.

Rand often disregards and belittles Reagan's intelligence and does not even considering any output from her. Considers her too naive to be in his line of work.

And so she ends up normal enough with a sunshine attitude. Tho with a people pleaser mentality that doesn't question authority.

There will be moments where her intelligence shines thru but due it being unpolished and so rarely speaks them at all.

Graduated at the top of her average (pretty high end but nothing prestigious) schools, Rand didn't let her in Cognito and lacking any direction, worked odd jobs like being a lobbiest.

Despite being elitist and inadvertently puts his daughter down, he really hypes her as the best lobbiest bc altho Reagan isn't the best in his eyes, but regards her higher bc she has his genes. Tho its kinda condescending despite him meaning well.

Until Oprah Winfrey took her in the Illuminati due to her handshakes (so she says)

Chances are she took her in bc she's Rand's daughter who's clueless about the whole secret society. Petty queen.

Or thought she'd be a good asset to the team. Who knows?

Slow starter but fast learner.

Enthusiastic and positive but has a tendency to apologize a lot when she senses the other person took it wrong or says something she thinks sounds stupid.

Brett Hand

Born rich yet isolated within his family deemed unimpressive.

Instead of coping by doing everything he can to please them or other people, he opted for violence and aimed to prove them all wrong.

With vast ambitions he throws himself into multiple activities (studies, exercise, etc)

He's unfortunately not considered prodigious at anything, so is basically climbing the ranks without a boost. So his starting and present position is impressive to note.

Bc the Hand Family is super rich, of course they know Oprah Winfrey.

Altho not as smart as Reagan, Oprah Winfrey (lol) saw immense potential through his unyielding ambition and the work he's willing to put to get there.

Winfrey fully supports Brett like that wine aunt his gateway to the Illuminati.

Graduating from Harvard at the top, only got by with caffeine flowing thru his bloodstream.

Follows og! Reagan's footsteps into robotics.

Considered handsome, intellectual with a charismatic/intimidating voice during presentations and debates, he's not very good in the emotional/people category.

Man still looking handsome despite running on fumes. Baristas give him discounts. Life's unfair.

Brett exercises, like the og exercises when he's stressed. Which is basically all the time.

He tries to be presentable, he doesn't unfortunately try to hide or get the bags off under his eyes.

Prideful with an arrogant vibe, it's not obvious but he's self conscious af especially when his position is question/threatened.

He often looks down at himself, hates when other people question him.

Some people misname him and call him "Brent", which he hates.

Uncertain Headcanons

Not sure of Tamiko and Rand's marriage status and their happiness. Really just Tamiko's position in all this.

I'm unsure who the main villain here is Rand or Oprah.

I'm on the fench about Reagan joining a bunch of sororities.

I'm thinking about who's the drunk lady Brett would be hauling around. I'm unsure about it being a part of his family that's now considered a massive scab or just let the idea altogether and just make Oprah the villain.

I also wonder about the 80s movies whether Brett would still have a connection to them or Reagan would. I lean more to Brett thinking of it as a bitter memory, still on the fence about Reagan finding solace in 80s toys and films. (the few she actually had, since all of her toys were made by him)

Final Notes

That's it for now. I have a lot of ideas but if I withhold posting this it'll never end.

I didn't go into details about the relationships and dynamics but I imagine something like Reagan saying something smart or pointing out something Brett missed and Brett would just have a crisis and wondering if he's going senile at age 30 as he's searching up and cursing his family's genes.

Chances are some points won't correspond well or be completely differently from the series' ep plot lines. But ain't that the fun part of Role Reversal AUs?

#inside job #inside job netflix #reagan ridley #brett hand #inside job au #inside job swap au #role reversal au #inside job reagan #inside job brett #breagan #brett x reagan #reagan x brett #platonic or romantic #Why not both? I like both #inside swap

Amazing Computing March 1999

New versions of Linux available for the Amiga were examined in this issue, with a comment in one piece how “many in the Linux community are absolutely, completely, positively sure that Linux will knock Microsoft off the OS throne.” In the meantime, it was becoming more possible to watch QuickTime files on an Amiga, and Jim Collas had transferred from Gateway to Amiga Inc, with the editorial ready to see great promise in that. One column proclaimed “the next Amiga” was the (approvingly described) Sega Dreamcast, with that company’s sure-to-succeed turnaround having provided a shining example for Amiga Inc.

About the Films:

Superman: The Movie

Academy Award winners Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman head an all-star cast in the fantastic, action-packed film that made Christopher Reeve an international star playing the greatest superhero of all time. From the doomed planet of Krypton, two parents launch a spaceship carrying their infant son to earth. Here he grows up to become Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet. But with powers and abilities far beyond those of ordinary men, he battles for truth and justice as Superman.

An Alexander Salkind presentation and directed by Richard Donner (The Goonies, Lethal Weapon, The Lost Boys), the film stars Academy Award winner Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront, The Godfather) as Jor-El, Academy Award winner Gene Hackman (The French Connection, Unforgiven) as Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, and Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman.

Based on the DC character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman was produced by Pierre Spengler from a story by Mario Puzo and a screenplay by Puzo, David Newman, Leslie Newman, and Robert Benton. Ilya Salkind served as executive producer. The film also features Ned Beatty as Otis, Jackie Cooper as Perry White, Glen Ford as Jonathan Kent, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, Valerie Perrine as Eve Teschmacher, and Terrance Stamp as General Zod.

Superman was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Film Editing, Best Music (Original Score) and Best Sound. The film also received a Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects. In 2017, Superman was inducted into the Library of Congress National Film Registry.

SYNOPSIS

Superman II (Theatrical Version)

Unwittingly released from Phantom Zone imprisonment, three superpowered Planet Krypton criminals Terence Stamp, Sarah Douglas and Jack O'Halloran) plan to enslave Earth – just when Superman (Christopher Reeve) decides to show a more romantic side to Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). Gene Hackman also returns as Lex Luthor in this sequel that features a top supporting cast, witty Richard Lester direction, and visuals that astound and delight.

Directed by Richard Lester (A Hard Day’s Night, The Three Musketeers), the film stars Academy Award winner Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, and Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman.

Based on the DC character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the film was produced by Pierre Spengler from a story by Mario Puzo and a screenplay by Puzo, David Newman, and Leslie Newman. Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind served as executive producer. The film also features Ned Beatty as Otis, Jackie Cooper as Perry White, Sarah Douglas as Ursa, Jack O’Halloran as Non, Valerie Perrine as Eve Teschmacher, Susannah York as Lara, and Terrence Stamp as General Zod.

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut

Director Richard Donner began shooting Superman II while concurrently filming Superman: The Movie, though the theatrical version of the film was ultimately directed by Richard Lester. In 2006, Donner’s original unique vision was released for the first time. Jor-El (Marlon Brando in footage cut from the theatrical version) appears in key scenes that amplify Superman lore and deepen the relationship between father and son. Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) plots more schemes to unmask Clark Kent as Superman (Christopher Reeve). With so many changes, large and small, including a different beginning and resolution, this version is an eye-opening alternate experience.

Directed by Richard Donner, the film stars Academy Award winner Marlon Brando as Jor-El, Academy Award winner Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, and Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman.

Based on the DC character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the film was produced by Pierre Spengler and Michael Tau from a story by Mario Puzo and a screenplay by Puzo, David Newman, and Leslie Newman. Ilya Salkind served as executive producer. The film also features Ned Beatty as Otis, Jackie Cooper as Perry White, Sarah Douglas as Ursa, Jack O’Halloran as Non, Valerie Perrine as Eve Teschmacher, Susannah York as Lara, and Terrence Stamp as General Zod.

Superman III

Meet Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), a naive computer-programming natural. For him, a keyboard is a weapon – and, as a result, Superman faces the microelectronic menace of his life. Christopher Reeve reprises his signature role, deepening his character’s human side as Clark Kent sees Lana Lang (Annette O’Toole) at a Smallville High class reunion. And when the Man of Steel becomes his own worst enemy after exposure to Kryptonite, Reeve pulls off both roles with dazzling skill. Relive Superman III with all its heart, heroism and high-flying humor.

Directed by Richard Lester, the film stars Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane.

Based on the DC character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the film was produced by Pierre Spengler from a screenplay by David Newman and Leslie Newman. Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind served as executive producer. The film also features Richard Pryor as Gus Gorman, Jackie White as Perry White, Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen, Annette O’Toole as Lana Lang, and Robert Vaughn as Ross Webster.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Christopher Reeve not only dons the title hero’s cape for the fourth time but also helped develop the movie’s provocative theme: nuclear disarmament. To make the world safe for nuclear arms merchants, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) creates a new being to challenge the Man of Steel: the radiation-charged Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). The two foes clash in an explosive extravaganza that sees Superman save the Statue of Liberty, plug the volcanic eruption of Mount Etna and rebuild the demolished Great Wall of China.

Directed by Sydney J. Furie (The Ipcress File, Iron Eagle), the film stars Academy Award winner Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, and Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman.

Based on the DC character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the film was produced by Yoram Globus and Menahem Golan from a story by Christopher Reeve & Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal and a screenplay by Konner & Rosenthal. The film also features Jackie Cooper as Perry White, Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen, Jon Cryer as Lenny, Sam Wanamaker as David Warfield, Mark Pillow as Nuclear Man, and Mariel Hemingway as Lacy Warfield.
