現代のプロレス人気生んだライガーの「人材発掘力」 引退試合の相手選びにもらしさが〈AERA〉(AERA dot.) - Yahoo!ニュース

 1月5日に迫った獣神サンダー・ライガーの引退試合。平成元年に「誕生」し、そのキャラクターと華麗な技、圧倒的な試合巧者ぶりで、体の大きなヘビー級レスラーたちとも渡り合ってきたライガー。レスラーとしての活躍はもちろんだが、ライガーの魅力を語る上で外せないのが、人材を発掘する力だ。

【写真】鈴木みのるとの激闘はこちら

※『引退の獣神サンダー・ライガー 「小が大を食う」で人々に見せた希望」』より続く

「出身がどこであろうと関係ない! イイもんはイイんだよ!」という確固たる信念で国内外の他団体・インディーズ団体の選手をもメジャーなマットに引き上げ、ザ・グレート・サスケ、オカダ・カズチカといったきら星のごとき人材をスターダムに押し上げてきた。
 
 1990年代ごろからあまたのインディー団体が存在するようになった日本のプロレス界。ライガーはそこから今は亡きハヤブサや、その後に岩手県議会議員にもなったザ・グレート・サスケらキラリと光るダイヤの原石を拾い上げ、自らとの対戦を通じて磨き上げ、大きな世界で羽ばたくための翼を与えてきた。

 今やすっかりプロレス界を代表する顔となり、令和元年のプロレス大賞を受賞したオカダ・カズチカも、若き頃は修行先のメキシコでなかなか日の目を見ないレスラー生活を送っていたところをライガーに見いだされた。

 1月4日にそのオカダと相まみえ、団体最高峰のベルトに初めて挑む飯伏幸太は「文化系プロレス」の異名も持つインディーズ団体で、常人には理解できないような闘いを繰り広げていたころ、ライガーに目をかけられてスターへの階段を上った。

 現在、プロレス界が再び脚光を浴びているのも、彼らの将来性を見抜いたライガーの目利き力があったからこそ。それを支えたのが、出身母体にとらわれずレスラーをリスペクトするライガーの姿勢だ。あるいはそれは、体格の問題からまずメキシコに渡り、そこで故・山本小鉄に見いだされたという自身の来歴からくるものなのかもしれない。

 そのライガーの引退試合は、12月に頚椎の大怪我から復帰したばかりで、今後のジュニアヘビー級の継承者の一人と目されている高橋ヒロムと、団体と親交の深いメキシコのCMLLに所属していたリュウ・リーとのタッグマッチに決まった。

Flowers looking to build on first season with Lions - detroitlions.com

It’s a finish Flowers hopes to build on and come back even better in 2020 with the expectation of having an entire offseason and training camp to pick up right where he left off this season.

“Just heading to the offseason obviously trying to get better all-around as a player and get more prepared for the long season and a lot of snaps,” he said. “Just understanding different offenses and how they try to attack me individually and then just the defense as a whole.”

Flowers said there’s an attention to detail that needs to be a greater priority with every member of the Lions' defense moving forward. Detroit’s defense finished 31st overall, 26th in points allowed, 32nd against the pass and 21st against the run.

“We made plays here and there and flashed, would get third-down stops and things like that throughout the game, but ultimately didn’t put ourselves in position to win,” Flowers said. “So, I think just throughout the game, focus, that intensity that we got to have.”

Flowers tied for the team lead (linebacker Devon Kennard) with seven sacks, he had the most quarterback hits (14) and most quarterback hurries by a wide margin (41 vs. 27 for Kennard).

Bloom into winter with Garfield Park Conservatory's holiday flower show 'Invisible Forces' - WLS-TV

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Beauty blooms in every season, and this holiday display is no exception.

For more than 110 years the Garfield Park Conservatory has celebrated the holiday season with a colorful display of plants and flowers.


"I remember coming here as a little girl with my brother and parents. Usually we would come at Christmas time or Easter to see the Poinsettias and the Easter Lilies," said visitor Karen Larson.

"It's probably been 20 years since I've been here, I live in Lisle now, but it's still perfect. So cool," Larson added.

This season, the "Invisible Forces" showcased how different elements help plants and benefit their growth.

"We love the conservatory anytime of year, but we really love coming around the holidays because we love to see the Poinsettias and the beautiful winter plants," visitor Heather Geisler said. "The red and green definitely get you in the holiday spirit."


"I like the smell of the pine and the calm atmosphere," her daughter Anna Geisler added.

There's still time to catch the holiday display. Admission is free.

The Garfield Park Conservatory is located at 300 N. Central Park Avenue on Chicago's West Side.

Smoki Bacon, who went from child flower seller to Back Bay socialite, dies at 91 - The Boston Globe

Advertisement



“She was typically the person with the most energy in the room — when she was 45 and when she was 90,” said Joe O’Connor. They first met in 1974, when he was director of operations for the city’s celebration of the nation’s bicentennial and she ostensibly was his employee — though in practice he often took guidance from her.

A public relations consultant and fund-raiser for scores of events and organizations, and cohost with her husband, Richard Concannon, of the long-running TV show “The Literati Scene,” Mrs. Bacon also threw many of Boston’s most memorable parties and weddings (including her own).

Her real calling was civic activism, though, and she compiled a list of jobs and volunteer work that could fill five resumes while helping shape Boston’s culture and character.

“I love this city,” she said in a 1978 interview — and no doubt countless other times. “It’s a marvelous town.”

Over more than a half-century, beginning in the 1950s, Mrs. Bacon served on more than 100 boards and committees, always finding a new way to squeeze 36 hours of work into a 24-hour day.

Decades ago, she hid a pregnancy to keep her job and foil restrictions that excluded expectant mothers from working. She went on to stake a place on numerous boards that hadn’t welcomed women until she threw open the door.

“I think the city’s a better place because she broke down so many barriers, and may others do likewise,” said Larry DiCara, a former Boston city councilor and longtime political observer.

Her causes ranged from eliminating all bigotry — on the basis gender or race, sexual orientation or socioeconomic background — to her ardent support of the Boston Landmarks Orchestra.

“I started out as a Republican, became an Independent, then a Democrat,” she recalled in 1992. “The older I get, the stronger of a Democrat I become. It’s a party that feels very strongly for the people.”

Rising from poverty to prominence, Mrs. Bacon transformed from Adelaide Ruth Ginepra — who lived on welfare with her mother and brother in Brookline — to Smoki Bacon, whose Back Bay home was an entryway into the ranks of Boston’s who’s who.

“She sounds like a fictional character because the life she led shouldn’t be possible, but she did it anyway,” said her grandson John Gabrieli. “I think my grandmother was without a doubt the strongest person I’ve ever met.”

An intellectual and cultural matchmaker, she fostered friendships across boundaries among those who never realized they needed to meet until Mrs. Bacon introduced them, typically at a party she hosted.

“Smoki was a very honest intellectual broker,” said her friend David Jacobs, publisher of The Boston Guardian.

“She has been a major figure straddling various worlds in the city for decades,” DiCara said.

And for Mrs. Bacon, Boston “was more than a place on the map,” O’Connor said. “She said, ‘My job is to remind everyone of this gem we inherited, this great city.’ It wasn’t a cliché for her. She lived it every day.”

Born Jan. 29, 1928, Adelaide Ginepra was the daughter of Ruth Burns and Alfred Ginepra. She was 7 when her parents separated, and she hit the job market early, selling flowers along The Riverway as a girl.

“She understood exactly what it meant to be poor and so she devoted her life to working for hundreds of nonprofit organizations that have made a huge difference to people in the community,” said her daughter Brooks Bacon of New York City.

As a girl, Mrs. Bacon was hospitalized for diphtheria, was in a coma for three days after being struck by a truck, and was treated for a ruptured appendix after a beating by neighborhood bullies who taunted her over her family’s background.

Graduating from Brookline High School in 1945, she attended the School of Practical Art and switched to Jackson Von Ladau School of Design, graduating in 1951.

Returning to Boston after a spell working in New York as a graphic artist, she married Edwin Bacon in 1957. They lived in the Back Bay and she was already a force in the community when he died in his insurance firm’s office in 1974.

His death was initially ruled a suicide, but Mrs. Bacon pushed for the courts to acknowledge that her husband had been murdered by his business partner, James Blaikie Jr.

A couple of weeks before the murder, Mrs. Bacon insisted in court cases, Blaikie had forged her husband’s name on forms that made Blaikie the recipient of Ed Bacon’s life insurance policies, not Mrs. Bacon and their daughters. Though never charged in Bacon’s death, Blaikie was convicted of murdering someone else, and he died in prison in 1992.

The state Supreme Judicial Court, meanwhile, ruled in 1987 that there was “sufficient evidence to warrant a finding that Blaikie murdered Bacon.”

“It restores some dignity to Ed’s life,” Mrs. Bacon said then of the ruling.

She counted among her greatest accomplishments her advocacy for legislation to make insurance companies responsible for verifying beneficiary changes, thus sparing others the legal battle her family had endured.

In 1979, she married Concannon, who had been a Harvard College classmate of her late husband. The two of them launched programs including “The Literati Scene,” on which they interviewed numerous authors, sometimes in their Beacon Hill home, on local cable channels.

Their wedding at Memorial Church in Harvard Yard and the reception on the Boston Tea Party Ship drew an estimated 800 people.

“I used to say that Auntie Mame could have taken a lesson from her. She was larger than life,” said Mrs. Bacon’s daughter Hilary Bacon Gabrieli of Boston.

Though best known for her civic engagement, Mrs. Bacon most valued time with her five grandchildren – John, Abigail, Pauline, Lilla, and Nicholas Gabrieli, to whom she “passed along lessons she had learned,” Hilary said. “She was such a kindhearted person. She knew what was right and wrong, and she had such a strong moral compass.”

Mrs. Bacon’s two daughters and grandchildren are her immediate survivors. The family will hold a private funeral and announce a public gathering to celebrate her life and work.

Concannon, who died last year, and Mrs. Bacon spent years as “host parents” for Harvard students, including Yule Caise, who now lives in Los Angeles and is a film director, producer, and writer.

Among the lessons Mrs. Bacon imparted was how to remain self-assured, regardless of adversity.

“She could be herself,” Caise said. “She never had to alter who she was. That’s how secure she was in the world. That kind of confidence was rare.”

Part of Mrs. Bacon’s self-confidence was there for all to see and hear: her name itself.

She recalled that when she was a girl, teasing classmates had called her Smokey — a nickname she initially hated. One-upping them, she embraced the sobriquet, changed the spelling, and made it unforgettable.

“I substituted an ‘i’ for the ‘ey,’ ” she confided with a smile in 1978.

木下優樹菜離婚に納得の声 円満評判も夫への過剰な愚痴に批判 - 女性自身

木下優樹菜離婚に納得の声 円満評判も夫への過剰な愚痴に批判

タレントの木下優樹菜(32)が12月31日、お笑いコンビFUJIWARAの藤本敏史(49)との離婚を発表した。鬼嫁として知られていた木下。おしどり夫婦との評判もあったが、その離婚には“納得”の声が相次いでいる。

同日、Instagramで離婚を報告した木下《私、木下優樹菜は、この度、藤本敏史さんと離婚することになりました》と切り出し、《親権は私が持つことになりましたが、私たちの間に生まれてきてくれた2人の娘にとって、世界にたった1人の父親であり、母親であるので、今までと変わらず、お互いに協力し合い仲良く子育てをして参ります》と明かした。そして関係者とファンに対し、《ご迷惑とご心配をおかけして大変申し訳ございません》とつづっている。

10年8月に結婚し、12年8月と15年11月に長女と次女を出産した木下。メディアなどを通し鬼嫁ぶりが伝えられてきたが、第二子を出産した当時のブログには《惚れ直したぜ》と藤本を讃える言葉が。《陣痛クライマックスでは だぁのかけ声しか聞こえなかった。陣痛MAXのピークに『今の上手だったよー!』とか》とつづり感謝の様子。また今年7月にもInstagramで夫婦の仲睦まじい動画を投稿し、反響を呼んだばかりだった。

そのいっぽうで17年10月、「名医のTHE太鼓判!」(TBS系)で木下は藤本の口臭について「しんどい。ドブのにおい」と形容。さらに18年1月に出演した「おしゃれイズム」(日本テレビ系)では藤本について「ブサイク」「全然ブス。何やってもダメなんです」と表現。また17年5月、週刊女性のインタビューで、藤本の愚痴を娘に漏らしているとも告白していた。

今回の離婚について、ネットでは《あんなに仲よし家族アピールしてたのに?》《内情がどうなのかって二人にしか、もしくは各々当人同士にか分からないんだよね》《まさか離婚するとわなぁ》と驚きの声が。しかし藤本の悪口や愚痴を散々言ってきた木下に、こんな声も上がっている。

《タピオカの前から夫を馬鹿にする発言だったりがすごい嫌だったし、あんな事言ったら父の威厳とか立場ないよな。ってずっと思ってた。私がうちの嫁が?とかベラベラ夫に悪口言われたら嫌だし、私が他人に赤裸々に言うのも嫌だな》

《ユッキーナのフジモンに対する態度と言葉がちょっとやり過ぎなところがあった 鬼嫁と元ヤンキャラだったけど、時々笑えないくらい言うから》
《あんな汚い言葉で旦那のこと 口くせぇよ! とか言う母親にはなりたくない》
《子供の前で罵ったり、相手の悪口吹き込むような夫婦関係は絶対うまくいかない》

欅坂46、2年前の“リベンジ”果たすも歌唱後に平手卒倒(スポーツ報知) - Yahoo!ニュース

◆第70回NHK紅白歌合戦(31日、東京・NHKホール)

 欅坂46は2017年に歌った「不協和音」を再び披露した。17年の時は本番で過呼吸のような症状で倒れたセンターの平手友梨奈(18)。昨年はけがで欠席しており、倒れて以来の紅白のステージとなった。

【写真】欅坂46、紅白で渾身リハ!平手友梨奈、一時動けず

 リハーサルでは2日にわたり元気のない様子を見せていたが、この日は何かに取りつかれたような表情と力強いダンスを披露。歌い終わって涙を見せ、見事“リベンジ”を果たしたように見えた。

 17年の時はメンバーと一緒に踊り、倒れた平手を目の当たりにした総合司会の内村は、今年は参加しなかったが「もう1回聞けるとは思わなかった」と感慨深げ。曲が終わったときは「素晴らしかった。新不協和音だ!」と絶賛した。

 だが平手はカメラが離れた後、完全燃焼したのかそのまま倒れ、メンバーに抱えられながらステージを後にした。

azuma makoto studies the ties between 'flower and man' - Designboom

over the years, japanese botanical artist azuma makoto has developed projects that utilize flowers in various situations on earth that exist beyond the boundaries of the natural world. makoto has previously preserved a bonsai tree inside a futuristic ecosphere, plunged intricate bouquets into the abyss of the deep sea, and launched flowers into the stratosphere. now, the artist is studying the complex relationship that nature has with humans in his latest project, ‘flower and man’.


‘flower and man’: diver

the experimental series of images by azuma makoto and his team focus on the relationship between flowers and humans, and capture it in various situations on earth, and in human activities. divers plunge through the depths of the seas carrying botanical sculptures through the natural reefs; wrestlers wrangle with floral stems and leaves inside a ring; skydivers are launched out of a plane as they tightly grip an arboreal arrangement.

‘through the work, we always wish everyone opens up their eyes to our precious nature, also our human’s culture and traditions, and find love and interest in them more,’ azuma makoto says. ‘we have beautiful nature and wide variety of rich and fun human activities, so we want to connect flowers and us beautifully and impactfully.’


‘flower and man’: skydiver


‘flower and man’: wrestler

ゴーン被告、仏でも進む捜査 結婚式に社費流用した疑惑 - 朝日新聞

 レバノンに出国したと報じられている日産自動車の前会長カルロス・ゴーン被告は、仏自動車大手ルノーの会長でもあった。ゴーン被告をめぐっては、仏でも捜査が進んでいる。

 仏検察は2019年7月、パリ郊外のルノー本社を家宅捜索した。仏メディアによると、ゴーン被告が16年にパリ郊外のベルサイユ宮殿で開いた自身の結婚式に、会社の金をあてた事件の捜査の一環だった。その前月にはパリ郊外の自宅も家宅捜索を受けていた。

 ルノーの社内調査結果によると、ゴーン被告は16年10月、宮殿敷地内の城館「グラン・トリアノン」を結婚式会場として借り切るため、会社の金5万ユーロ(約620万円)を私的に流用。ゴーン被告は、費用を会社に弁済する意向を示している。

 また、同社の調査では、オランダにあったルノーと日産自動車の統括会社「ルノー・日産BV」でも、ゴーン被告が1100万ユーロ(約13億4千万円)を不適正に支出していた疑いがあることが判明。ゴーン被告の出張やNPOへの寄付などで疑わしい点が見つかっており、こうした支出をめぐっても捜査が行われる見通しだ。仮にゴーン被告がフランスに入国すれば、捜査の一環で当局に事情を聴かれる可能性もある。

映画「燃えよ剣」 混沌の現代に生き方示す - 産経ニュース

映画「燃えよ剣」を撮影する原田眞人監督?2020「燃えよ剣」製作委員会
映画「燃えよ剣」を撮影する原田眞人監督?2020「燃えよ剣」製作委員会

 作家、司馬遼太郎が新選組を描いた名作「燃えよ剣」が、54年ぶりに映画になった。主人公の副長、土方歳三を演じるのは、V6の岡田准一(39)。監督は原田眞人(70)で、やはり司馬作品を原作にした「関ヶ原」(平成29年)の大ヒットコンビが再びタッグを組んだ。

 「混乱の時代に現れた若者たちの右往左往と魂の叫びがそこにはある。現代の世相とダブる維新動乱期という混(こん)沌(とん)を、土方は筋を通して生きた」と原田監督。「燃えよ剣」は、人は変革期にいかに生きるべきかを示している。市村泰一(ひろかず)監督作(昭和41年)以来の映画化だが、今こそ必要な作品なのだ。

 その土方を演じる岡田は、「散り椿」(平成30年)以来の時代劇。土方が登場するシーンでの剣技を指導する。米ハリウッドの有名アクション監督をして「ここまで素早く動ける俳優は見たことがない」と感嘆させた身体能力とアクションセンスを、遺憾なく発揮する。

 ヒロインのお雪には柴咲コウ(38)。新選組局長、近藤勇に鈴木亮平(36)。天才剣士の沖田総司には山田涼介(26)=Hey!Say!JUMP=など、共演陣も魅力たっぷりだ。

 5月22日から全国公開。

     ◇

 「燃えよ剣」は、幕末、佐幕派の剣客集団として名をはせた新選組の副長・土方歳三を主人公にした司馬遼太郎の歴史小説。武州・多摩の豪農の家に生まれたけんか好きの暴れ者“バラガキのトシ”こと土方が、盟友の近藤勇とともに幕末の動乱の中で浪士を集めて結成された新選組に身を投じ、ナンバー2として天性の組織づくりの才で、鉄の規律を持つ非情な戦闘集団を作り上げていく。

 土方の指揮の下、隊は京都を舞台に多数の尊王攘夷派志士を捕殺するなどの功を挙げて幕府に認められる。だが、やがて大政奉還など歴史の大きな流れに翻弄され、時代に取り残された存在に。一人降伏を拒否した土方が、剣に殉じるまでの生涯を描く。昭和37~39年、週刊文春に連載。映画、テレビドラマにもなった。発行部数(新潮文庫)は上下巻で約458万部。

 結婚式には、フランス女子W杯で得点王とMVPをダブル受賞したMFミーガン・ラピノー、先日第一子妊娠を公表したエースFWアレックス・モーガンなどアメリカ女子代表の面々も参列。ハリスは自身のインスタグラムを更新し、喜びに満ち足りた2人の純白ウェディングショットを公開すると、「私はこの瞬間を10年待っていた」と万感の思いを綴っている。

 そんな1枚に多くのファンが反応。29日の投稿から1日で14万を超える「いいね!」が付くなど大きな反響を呼び、「おめでとう!」の声とともに様々なメッセージが届いている。

Best flower delivery services in 2020 - CNET

This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2019, your source for the season's best gifts and deals, hand-picked by the experts at CNET.

Beautiful flower arrangements can help make any holiday that much more special. Whether you're putting together a special dinner party or looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, there are several flower delivery services that will come to the rescue, helping to make the day brighter. But which is the best flower delivery service? Which way is best to buy and send flowers?

These flower delivery companies will bring fresh, vibrant bouquets, centerpieces and plants right to your door, saving you the hassle of running to the florist or a shop. Check out these suggestions and then you can order online.

The following flower delivery services are our top picks in different categories: 

Bouqs

Not only does Bouqs have a fun name, but this brand also offers an impressive variety of arrangements for every special occasion -- or just a regular day. No matter your needs or personal tastes, Bouqs will deliver -- literally. 

Bouqs company sources its flowers and plants from eco-friendly sustainable farms, and it offers same-day and next-day delivery if needed. It offers seasonal arrangements like the Holiday Cheer bouquet and beautiful holiday wreaths like the Magnolia, as well as more traditional bouquets like the Angels, which features dozens of light pink roses. All of its arrangements are so stunning that it will be hard to pick just one.

Additionally, if you're looking for a wonderful gift for that hard-to-shop-for person in your life, you might want to get a Bouqs subscription -- you can choose to have the freshest flowers delivered right to their door on a regular basis. It's a thoughtful gift that keeps on giving, and getting flowers online is way easier than going to your local florist!

H. Bloom

Need perfect flowers and need them fast? Luckily for you, H.Bloom can offer flower delivery on the same day all around the country. There are dozens of same-day arrangement styles to choose from, including everything from traditional rose bouquets to garden mixes and single-stem orchids. 

If you're looking for a last-minute centerpiece for the table, an option like the Cherry Vanilla would look lovely, or you can also order an Exotic Orange Bundle to bring to a gathering as a hostess gift. Of course, because the company is working on such short notice, certain flowers may be swapped out based on availability; but the end result is sure to be stunning given the brand's stellar reputation. 

1-800-Flowers

For those with classic tastes, you can't go wrong ordering from 1-800-Flowers. It offers same-day delivery on a wide selection of classic arrangements, like the Lovely Lavender Medley, which is made up of white roses and carnations, lavender Peruvian lilies, baby's breath and more. If you're not in a hurry, you can also order one of 1-800-Flowers' festive seasonal arrangements, which make perfect holiday centerpieces (or centerpieces for any occasion). 

UrbanStems

If you enjoy more modern arrangements with unique flowers and colors, be sure to check out UrbanStems. This brand works with sustainable farms to get the best possible blooms, and the flower bouquets are sure to be a talking point at your holiday gathering, or any other occasion. 

UrbanStems delivers all around the country, and products like The Persimmon includes flowers like marigolds, ranunculus, dahlias, myrtle, freesia and more. The company also offers delivery on a selection of plants, so you can send The Orion, a pretty snake plant, as a gift to your favorite green thumb

FTD Flowers

Looking specifically for a holiday centerpiece? FTD Flowers has you covered. This delivery service has an impressive selection of traditional bouquets, and it also offers a number of unique centerpieces that will make the perfect focal point for your holiday tablescape. 

For instance, the Harvest Comfort Cornucopia features a natural woven cornucopia, and there are orange and red lilies, roses and daisies spilling out of it. FTD also has centerpieces with lanterns, candles, baskets and more. You can opt for same- or next-day delivery on many of their products, but it's always better to place your order in advance if you need the flowers for a major holiday (as opposed to a personal occasion). 

Farmgirl Flowers

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through Pinterest, looking at beautiful floral tablescapes? While it might seem too challenging to put together a tablescape on your own, these flowers make it possible. This popular San Francisco-based flower company is known for its ethically grown flowers and burlap-wrapped bouquets, and during the holidays, the company actually offers fully curated tablescapes that can be shipped all around the country. 

For instance, The Whole Nine Yards is a beautiful Thanksgiving tablescape that includes 15 stems of seasonal flowers to put in three included vases, a centerpiece with 15 stems of seasonal blooms, as well as tealight candles in gold containers, three air plants and assorted pieces of seasonal fruit. All you have to do is arrange the collection on your table, and you'll have your very own Pinterest-worthy display.

Harry & David

Harry & David may be known for its gift baskets, but you can also find a beautiful selection of holiday wreaths from this retailer. They work with smaller farms, such as Creekside Farms in California and Teufel Holly Farms in Oregon, to deliver both fresh and dried holiday wreaths straight to your door. 

In addition to traditional evergreen and boxwood wreaths, Harry & David offers unique designs like the Holiday Magnolia Wreath, which is made from a fresh magnolia and noble fir base. Among its branches, you'll find accents like faux fruit, pinecones and faux berries, and the whole thing is finished off with a lovely bow. 

Bloomsy Box

What do you get the person who has it all? How about a monthly delivery of fresh flowers or fresh flower arrangements? Flower subscription services are becoming increasingly popular, as they let you give month after month of beautiful bouquets. Bloomsy Box would make a wonderful gift for anyone on your list, as they deliver hand-tied bouquets from sustainable farms on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. 

You can choose between original, deluxe and premium bouquets for your recipient -- the more expensive plans get you more flowers per delivery -- which makes the delivery fee feel lower. The selected items will vary each month and often include favorite items like roses, orchids, sunflowers and more. It's a gift that keeps on giving, and it's sure to put a smile on anyone's face. 

Enjoy Flowers

If you (or someone you know) are crafty, you might enjoy creating "do-it-yourself" bouquets, like those offered by Enjoy Flowers. The DIY Collection is actually a subscription service, so you'll get a new array of flowers delivered on a regular basis. You can choose from three sizes -- 20, 30 or 40 stems -- as well as between bi-weekly or monthly deliveries. The flowers will all be complementary, but it will be up to you to put them together into a cohesive arrangement. Are you up for the challenge?

The DIY option would make a great gift for your favorite creative spirit, but it might also be beneficial if you want to create a cohesive floral display during the holidays. Alternatively, Enjoy Flowers offers both signature and farm-fresh subscription services that provide hand-tied bouquets on a regular basis. 

Venus Et Fleur

Do these boxes of roses look familiar? That might be because they're always popping up on celebrity social media accounts, including those of the Kardashians. These luxurious arrangements, called Eternity Roses, are the signature product of Venus Et Fleur, and when properly cared for, they can last up to a year, thanks to the company's unique preservation process. 

If you really want to wow your guests or loved one this holiday season, there's no better way to do it than with Eternity Roses. Small boxes with a single rose start at $39, while more lavish displays can cost upward of $1,000. You can also choose from a variety of containers and rose colors, including bold metallic and rainbow varieties.

Floom

It's always nice to support local businesses during the holidays, and Floom actually uses a network of independent florists in major cities around the country to fulfill its orders. You can order Floom flowers in NYC, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, and a talented local business will put together your arrangement. 

Your arrangement options will depend on where you're located, but Floom does have a whole Thanksgiving section to choose from. (We suspect they'll eventually have Christmas options, too.) They also have same-day delivery options if you're putting together an event last-minute and can't get to the flower shop.

米津さん紅白で「歌唱はありません」 自身の出演巡る過熱報道をけん制か|文化・芸能|徳島ニュース|徳島新聞 - 徳島新聞

 徳島県出身のシンガー・ソングライター米津玄師さんは、おおみそか放送のNHK紅白歌合戦で人気アイドルグループ嵐のために作詞・作曲した新曲「カイト」が初披露され、米津さんも登場する制作風景のドキュメンタリー映像が放映されることに関連し、自身が歌唱を披露するかどうかについてツイッターで「VTR出演のみで歌唱はありません」と否定した。米津さんの出演を巡る報道が過熱していることをけん制したものとみられる。

 米津さんは、制作ドキュメンタリーの放送を伝えるネット記事をリツイートした上で「紅白歌合戦、カイトに纏(まつ)わるVTR出演のみで歌唱はありませんがよろしくお願いします。楽曲制作で関わらせてもらったFoorin、菅田(将暉)くん、嵐の皆さんを応援してます。よい年末になりますよーに。」と、自身が紅白でパフォーマンスする可能性を否定した上で、自身の楽曲を歌うFoorinの5人と、菅田さん、嵐の5人にエールを送った。
