Wednesday's Child: 11-year-old Neveah
Neveah may come across as shy and reserved at first, but once she feels comfortable, she becomes the life of the party!
If there's a dance party happening, chances are Neveah is the one who started it. She's full of energy and fun, and would have a blast at the arcade, trampoline park, shopping, getting her nails done, or playing video games.
A natural performer, Neveah shined in her school play and thrives when she's acting in skits or putting on a show. She also enjoys spending time outdoors, especially swimming or camping. One of her favorite outings is going to restaurants, and she's always up for a dish with a little spice!

In her latest novel, Barbara Shapiro mixes Manet, Boston, and a possible haunted painting
But the Connecticut native, who writes as B.A. Shapiro, cut her teeth as a novelist writing Boston-set ghost stories and thrillers with paranormal elements. In her latest, ' Advertisement 'I actually published five novels very Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The book in a nutshell: Boston resident Tamara Rubin — great-great-great-great granddaughter of Impressionist Tamara hangs 'Party' in her Tremont Street home and becomes so obsessed with it she must leave the house to get work done, 'to avoid the lure, like an addict who can't be anywhere near her drug of choice.' Advertisement The plot shifts between current-day Boston and 19th century Paris, where readers meet members of the famed impressionist circle, including Manet, Degas, Monet — and 'Party' apparently holds some kind of magic power. It somehow survives major disasters; it seemingly can't be destroyed. Tamara sees a character wink. The artist's signature at the bottom of the painting changes before her eyes. She begins to have nightmares about the painting. She wonders if Morisot's ghost haunts it. The historical story unperpinning the plot is compelling, well-researched and at least loosely true. While 'Party' is fictional, it sparked me (and likley more readers) to Google: Morisot really was to Manet's brother. Manet really did With events upcoming at What sparked this book? I'd read about Berthe Morisot when I was working on 'The Art Forger.' I'd scribbled her name down and threw it into my file of ideas. When I was thinking about the next book, I saw that note, and got totally fascinated with her. The whole idea of this unsung talent grabbed me. The quality of her work, the misogyny, what it was like for a woman in those days. I felt she really got screwed, and that if I wrote a book, people might Advertisement Was there really a romance between her and Manet? There was. Historians acknowledge that she and Manet were in love, but no one knows for certain whether they had a physical affair. But, hey, I'm writing novels, so of course they're going to have a physical affair– and they're also going to have an illegitimate child. Right. What draws you to the lives of artists? When I was little, I wanted to be an artist. My parents were very supportive. My mother signed me up for classes. My father built me a studio in the basement. It was great, except for the fact that it became clear really quickly I had no talent. So I became an art-appreciator. You earned your Masters from Tufts in Sociology in '75 and your PhD in Sociology from there in '78. You said you never studied art history. How do you begin researching? I read piles of books, [research] online. I go to lots of museums. Like Tamara, I discovered that a lot of museums have tons of paintings by Degas, Manet, and Monet. While most museums have at least one or two Berthe paintings, the numbers don't match at all. You've written about Abstract Expressionists, Post-Impressionists, Impressionists. What group of artists would you write about next? I'm actually working on a novel about Advertisement What caused the pivot from ghost stories/mysteries to artist-based historical-fiction? Once our kids finished high school, we moved back from Lexington to Boston [in 2005]. We were in the South end and just surrounded by artists. I could walk to different museums. I decided to take a chance on writing a book about art. And I loved it. I switched from murder-mystery/ supernatural into art-mode. You said you painted as a kid. Do you paint now? I actually tried taking watercolor classes recently, and once again – ehhh. I'd love to sing, but I can't do that either.

Sydney Sweeney Is Facing A Backlash Over Her New American Eagle Campaign. Here's What People Are Saying
Sydney Sweeney's new collaboration with the fashion brand American Eagle has become the centre of a whole lot of debate. The Euphoria star unveiled a new campaign with the American clothing brand last week, to promote their line of denim last week. However, it didn't take long before social media clips to promote the deal sparked a wave of discomfort among many critics, largely due to some of the language that's used in the campaign. This is the story so far… What is Sydney Sweeney's new ad campaign for American Eagle all about? For American Eagle's autumn 2025 campaign, Sydney Sweeney can be seen sporting items from the brand's denim range, including a new pair of jeans inspired by her. The campaign also makes use of the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans', a pun on the term 'great genes'. In another, she explains: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour.' 'My jeans are blue,' she then quips, at which point a narrator delivers the line: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Why are some people upset about Sydney Sweeney's new ads for American Eagle? Unfortunately this repeated use of the slogan 'great jeans', a pun on 'great genes', has put some viewers in mind of the language used by white supremacists and eugenicists. By centring a blonde, white star in a campaign referencing 'genes', some critics are accusing the brand of tone-deafness at best – particularly in the current political climate – and deliberately pushing a white supremacist agenda at worst. HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for both Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle for comment. Others are pointing out that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign doesn't mention one other important aspect of the product American Eagle's new 'Sydney Jean' features a butterfly detail on its back pocket, in a nod to domestic violence awareness, a cause which the White Lotus star has championed throughout her career. In fact, an American Eagle press release confirmed that '100% of the purchase price from 'The Sydney Jean' will be donated to Crisis Text Line', a charity in the US which aims to help those affected by domestic violence. However, the ads are also being criticised for not highlighting this key part of the campaign, with some saying its accompanying slogan is even more jarring as a result. Has Sydney Sweeney or American Eagle said anything about the controversy? Not yet, but we'll be sure to keep you updated if and when they do… READ MORE: Glen Powell's Ex Makes Veiled Comments About How Sydney Sweeney Rumours Affected Relationship Sydney Sweeney Fires Back After Producer's Takedown Of Her Looks And Talent Sydney Sweeney Makes Blunt Comment On Women's Empowerment In Hollywood
