The HOLYTRINITY is represented today by three theme answers:

WHOLLYOWNED - Like a subsidiary with only one parent
HOLEYCHEESES - Swiss and Jarlsberg
HOLIFESTIVAL - Colorful Hindu celebration

A tidy little Tuesday theme. 

Loved that today started with "Puccini heroine who 'lived for art, lived for love'" (TOSCA). How'd that work out for her?...

BADASSERY (Acts that are tough, rebellious and cool, in slang) was fun, and its symmetrical counterpart IMALLEARS ("Tell me") was nice and colloquial. The clue: "Caaaaaaar, you might say" had me stumped for quite a while (LIMO) (lmao). "Helps out a friend, purr-haps?," on the other hand, wasn't hard, but was a cute clue for CATSITS.

How about "Lines of communication" for CABLES? It could work many ways.

Overall, a decent Tuesday.
