Two Things

This is a two-part blog today. A million years ago (October) I started reading The Stand by Stephen King and I FINALLY finished it last week. That is one long-ass book. 1153 pages. But when I wrote a blog about it in October, I said I'd give an update of what I thought about it. So I'll quickly get into that before I start the other part of this blog.I liked the book. It was dramatic and I was hooked into wanting to know what happens until the very end. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. Kinda just ended.
The other note I have is sadness. Many of my favourite characters die and I wasn't expecting it the first time. The last few characters that died I saw coming for a few pages, but the first one really caught me off guard and the worst part about it was that I was reading it at work and I couldn't cry!
Like legit, one of my FAV characters died and I had to hold in my sadness. I was very disappointed.
Anyway, it was a good book and I was happy with it and I would recommend reading it but make sure you understand that it might take a while. You really have to devote yourself to finishing it.

So, part 2.

I rewatched Horrible Bosses the other night and forgot how funny that movie is, but I also was struck with the desire to express how HOT Jennifer Aniston is in that movie!

OMG! And I hate using that expression but it's how I feel.

If you don't think this woman is smoking hot, you're fucked. How old is this woman and she looks like THIS?! ^ I pray that I look that smoking hot when I'm her age. She looks great as a brunette and the makeup they do for her is phenomenal. All smoky and sexy. She plays a maneater so it's only natural that she looks like a bombshell.

She's also hilarious by the way. She and Dale (one of the main characters that works for her) are the best part of the movie. Their interactions make the movie.

But I just had to share that with the world.

Jennifer Aniston, I salute you. Keep being hot, you sexy beast!







When Did I Get Stabbed? That's Awesome!

Last night a wonderful thing happened to me: I witnessed an epic movie courtesy of the makers of Clone High (Phil Lord and Christopher Miller), that is, 21 Jump Street.

Going in, my expectations weren't great. I thought I would get a few laughs but I didn't think it would be fantastic.
I WAS WRONG! This movie had me laughing uncontrollably.
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are the best combination, who would've known?

I never used to like Channing Tatum, but after this movie, I am positive he can pull off more comedies in the future. As for Jonah Hill, we all knew he could pull this off.
The two together are solid.

If you didn't know, 21 Jump Street was a famous television series in the late 80s to early 90s. It made Johnny Depp famous as it was one of his first roles.
The other great things about this movie?

Look familiar? I thought so too. I spent the whole movie wondering who this (hot) James Franco lookalike is! The credits start rolling and the reason he looks so much like James Franco is THEY'RE BROTHERS! Dave Franco is my new celebrity crush. This guy is wicked hot and far more attainable than his brother, as he's younger and has not yet gained the level of fame as his older brother.
He's a complete douche in the film, but I couldn't look away from him the whole time.
I strongly recommend everyone go to see this movie. Totally worth the money!
And there is a surprise close to the end of the movie which was covered up so well! The frustrating part is that I can't reveal it because it would ruin it for everyone!
GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Please Back Your Bags and Go Home

I don't know when reality shows started or when they became so popular.However, I'm growing very weary of them and I find they continue to get stupider and stupider, as do the people on them.
That is not to say I don't watch them. That would be a false statement. I watch a lot of TLC (Say Yes to the Dress, Cake Boss, What Not to Wear, NY Ink, etc.) as well as Hell's Kitchen and America's Next Top Model. I tend to like reality shows where they are competing for a prize (usually more than money) and people get sent home every week.
The real problem that I have with reality shows these days is how they perpetuate the idea of being a lazy asshole and making money/getting fame from being as stupid as possible.
I'm talking to you, Jersey Shore!

I tried to find a different title card for this so that I wouldn't have to look at the people.
Believe me when I say that there is NOTHING I hate more in this world than these people and this show!
I'll try to contain my anger while I'm writing this otherwise I might not be able to finish.
What really angers me about this show is that these people have received their 15 minutes of fame for doing fuck all for society.
They drink and party all day everyday and do absolutely nothing of value and they still make more money than you and I could ever hope to make.
How dare they?! Does this not infuriate anyone else?
To the same degree is The Real World.

I used to watch this show, I watched a few seasons. Then Jersey Shore came out, I found out what it was and what the people were doing and after watching a few minutes of The Real World, I had to turn it off. How could I complain about what the people on Jersey Shore were doing if I watched a show where they're basically doing the same things (fuck all).
What grinds my gears even more is that these people have the AUDACITY to complain about their lives on the show. You are literally doing nothing at all, oh how hard your life must be!
America's Next Top Model, The Bachelor and this show I see ads for all the time on MTV, The Battle of the Exes, does the same thing sometimes.

These people obviously sign up to be on these shows. They know what's going to happen to them when they participate. When a contestant on ANTM gets their hair cut off in makeovers, they're always shocked, saying things like "I didn't know they were going to do this to me!" Really?! You went on the show knowing full well they could do whatever they wanted to your hair.
It always gets me when someone on a reality show says, "This isn't what I signed up for!"
Um, YES IT IS! The appeal of reality shows to most people is the DRAMA! Newsflash! If you sign up for a reality show thinking there won't be drama, you're fucked!
I`ve never watched this Battle of the Exes show, but I`ve seen countless ads for it. There`s always this girl crying saying her ex on the show was a one-night stand where she didn't know what she was thinking. All I can think is "You signed up for a show called Battle of the EXES!"
Did you miss that somewhere? I don't think they're legally allowed to have you sign up for a show that you don't know the concept of.
This has to be fake! It's ridiculous!
I can't stand how stupid these people are and that they gain fame for offering nothing to the world. It truly upsets me.
But mostly Jersey Shore. I can't even begin to explain how much I hate this show. If you watch it, SHAME ON YOU!

Blair Waldorf, Fashion Icon

If you know me, you know I'm a huge fan of Gossip Girl.That being said, Blair Waldorf is my favourite character (along with her meant-to-be man, Chuck Bass) and I absolutely LOVE her.
I don't keep up with fashion or anything and I certainly don't know all there is to know about fashion, but I know a surprising amount about it, most likely from watching American's Next Top Model for the last 14 cycles among countless other fashion shows.
One of the reasons that I love watching Gossip Girl though is because I almost get to picture myself having that kind of lifestyle; shopping all the time, having fancy dinners, going to insider parties...
In saying all this, I believe that Blair Waldorf is most definitely a style icon, and if I had the fashion sense and means to dress like her, I would.
However, I also don't think I could pulll it off.
She dresses so classy all the time. She is definitely a pearl and Tiffany Co. kinda girl.

Her style is just so flirty and feminine, with such taste. I could only ever dream to have a style as classy as hers.
And then there's that hair!

Blair's signature waves with a gorgeous headband. I have massive hair envy! Her waves are exactly what I want for my wedding one day. So beautiful and romantic.
Blair continues to dress in ways that I could only hope for.
I will continue to watch GG and idolize this beautiful creature.

Hot Mess

The GLBT (Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender) Community at my school is hosting their second pub night of the year next Thursday: Hot Mess.
When I heard about this, I was SUPER excited and immediately my mind started racing figuring out what I was going to wear.
So I've thought about it for the last few days I have been inspired to go ALL OUT for this night. I'm talking, trashy outfit, decked out in glitter, made up to the nines!
So here's a mismatch collage of my proposed outfit:

 Hot Pink Bra

 Underneath this lacey bodysuit

 With jean short shorts such as these

And heels comme ça (If I can stand to wear them all night)

With makeup like this:

 BIG fake eyelashes, perhaps with makeup running

And DECKED OUT in glitter like this

Basically my inspiration is:

Kesha! The queen of Hot Mess!

And there you have an idea of what my Thursday next week will hopefully look like. I know, you're all excited!
