Dolly Parton, queen of country music and humanitarian hero, dead at 80

Funny how people like you never post a source for their own claims.

Oh another thing I want to remind you. If you got a COVID vaccine or survived the pandemic because people around you got theirs, you owe a thank-you to Dolly. Her million-dollar early donation, when the First Trump Reich was still denying and stalling, jumpstarted the research and got other funds rolling in.

The Price of this Candy Bar

Corn tortillas are easy and taste great fresh. Buy Masa Harina and use the recipe on the bag. (2 cups masa harina, ½ tsp salt, 1½-2 cups hot water.)

If you aren't sure enough to buy a 5-pound bag, Bob's Red Mill sells a 624-gram bag with complete instructions on the back. Remember to plan ahead to let the dough rest an hour to absorb the water, and have waxed paper or a cut ziploc bag to flatten it between.

Don't try to use corn meal or polenta. The nixtamalization of the corn before grinding is important.

Flour tortillas aren't hard either, plenty recipes online.

This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits

It's very possible it just never came up. Especially if it's a male-run production. The male gaze just assumes a woman doesn't have pit hair, and if she doesn't think of it and bring it up, nobody does.

She probably takes her hairless pits for granted through long habit as we ll.

The rest of the job is basically rub "mud" product through her hair and all over her body. More attention paid to the face for closeups. (She's got lipstick and contouring and probably mascara as well, a "no makeup" makeup.) Should some makeup artist have thought of it and glued some hair trimmings to her pits? Yes. But while it would be easy in this scene/pose, it would be uncomfortable and easily shed during scenes where she needs to use her arms, and then you run into continuity problems. (I don't know the show but I assume she doesn't spend the whole time crucified like that)
