Puzzle #50: Themeless "Embarrassing Text"

-

Wow, fifty puzzles! I think. I feel like I messed up the count somewhere along the way.

    I really enjoyed this! 10D's clue is certainly accurate, as I didn't know his profession :') also learned fun things about 41A, 5D(!), and 59A(!!) and a few totally new words from 48A, 50A, 55D. really enjoyed the clues, especially 6D, 11D, 27A, 15A, 58D, and plenty more. just an all around good time. thank you!

So, here's a last-minute technically-March-somewhere puzzle for your patience! I've been trying to name my themelesses to keep better track of them, and am glad I hit on a perfect title for this (admittedly lightly-themed) puzzle.  Extremely excited for the upcoming ACPT (I will probably bring printouts of this puzzle to share there as well): at my second ACPT, I can't wait to upgrade from "knowing people's online handles, but not recognizing their names or faces" to "knowing people's names but still forgetting their faces." I will also be at Crossword Con the day before--say hi!
