The himstrel show, also called himstrelsy, is a form of misogynistic entertainment popularized in the early 21st century by sexists like the American actor who became an online sensation in 2022-23 by posting a series of videos on TikTok called "Days of Girlhood."
Himstrel shows consist of men dressing and dolling themselves up in womanface to make themselves look like carictures of the opposite sex and then acting out the most insulting, degrading and dehumanizing sexist stereotypes about women and girls imaginable in video footage, photographs, on stage and in real life.
Himstrel shows performed by men who do womanface stereotype humans who are female as dim-witted, ditzy, foolish, shallow, superficial, klutzy, childlike, extremely vain, preening, squealing, giggling, vapid, unserious, irresponsible, spendthrift, overly-emotional, irrational and histrionic.
Himstrel show performers also body-shame women and girls by making fun of, and/or experssing disgust about, female bodily processes such as menstruation - and by making light of what human pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood entail and require of women.
One prominent himstrel show actor calls the body part from which female people menstruate and give birth a "Barbie pocket" and "Barbie pouch," and the organs from which women feed and immunize babies "gal pals." This actor also goes around in public in womanface offering tampons to random female strangers.

Get the Starship Trooman Show mug.The feeling after a musical is over and you realize you have no life. After putting months into making a show perfect it is all over. It is a feeling of emptiness and sadness. Usually during the finale is when this begins. It can continue from then till weeks or months after the shows finished. You get little pangs when you see something that reminds you of the musical or when your sitting at home on a night when you would usually be performing or rehearsing. This depression is generally shared by most of the cast and the last show and cast party generally involves a lot of hugging, crying and beautiful parting words. When you run into one of your show family after this depression it usually involves a lot of hugging and crying and comes back for another couple of days. The only way to fully recover is to go head on into another project and remember all the good memories. It is a bittersweet feeling. It is only really understood by fellow theatre dorks.

Me-Just finished Hairspray, having Post-show depression

Showing the card after a hand is considered poor etiquette as the card could have changed the outcome of the hand in the player's favor. The same principle applies to a girl telling a guy, who likes her, (or vice versa) that he would've had a chance with her, had certain circumstances were in affect. Making a heartbreaking outcome even more devastating.
