the good, the bad, and the fugly: homecoming edition

See, I am blogging more. ;)

So in honor of the high school tradition called "Homecoming," I have made a list of what I thought were good, bad, and downright fugly homecoming dresses. These are all considered "homecoming" and not prom, winter formal, or any other dance. Just homecoming.

They are in this alternating order: good, bad, fugly (just in case you didn't figure that out already)

Simple LBDs (little black dresses) can go a long way. If you pair it with the right accesories and bling they can look really formal and cute. I don't really know how to describe this middle dress..... It's just really bad. The last dress however made me cringe. Bare-midriff? Really?

The first one again is very simple in terms of dress style, but styled in a way that the model looks vintage and fashionable. The second dress is when an ugly dress is styled in a weird way. What's with the top hat? Oh gosh, that poor model in the last picture. She will always be remembered as the girl at homecoming in the tacky semi-zebra dress.

 The first one is actually pretty cool. When I first saw I kinda skipped over it, but it's actually pretty. I'm pretty certain the middle one is some weird long shirt thing. I don't even know what to think about the last one. I know if one of my friends came to homecoming in a dress like that I would probably tell security to escort her out.

Hope you found my comments kinda of useful. PLEASE COMMENT ;)

charlie is so cool like....

If you love hot, young British guys with nerdy interests and do totally silly (but awesome) stuff, you must check out Charlie McDonnell. Also known as: Charlieissocoollike.
Seriously, I could watch his videos FOR HOURS, which is partially due to the fact that he's adorable and has a dreamy British accent, but also because he's hilarious and positively quirky.
Reasons to watch his youtube videos and check out his website:
1. Very, very funny. Wow, I just made it sound bland.
2. He reads your comments. Which reminds me, PLEASE COMMENT ON MY BLOG!
3. He likes Doctor Who. He even ate custard and fishsticks.
4. He is British, which just makes him more interesting (aka sexy accent).
5. He has seriously RUBY RED hair. No joke.
6. He is part of a band called Sons of Admirals, which unfortunately isn't on iTunes.
7. He is adorable. ;)

creepy catfish

I love the movie Catfish. I love the movie Catfish. I love the movie Catfish.
The commercials boast how a critic said, "Catfish is the movie Alfred Hitchcock never directed."
Boy that critic was spot on. It was thrilling, suspenseful, creepy, and tragic.
Here are some tips before going to see the movie (BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE GOING NO MATTER WHAT):
1. Don't watch the trailer.
2. Don't look up the ending.
3. Don't ask me or some other person the plot or ending.
4. Go see the movie knowing absolutely nothing, and you will enjoy it immensely.
I came out of the theater feeling angry, sad, excited, and overall thrilled that I saw this film.
And no, I won't even give you the website. ;)

really? seriously?

Wow I haven't posted in a loooooooong time..... I swear I will post more often! I PROMISE!!!
Ok the Being Human finale was AMAZING!!! I am not going to tell you any of the details. You have to watch it yourself otherwise I'll ruin everything.
I drew Annie, George, and Mitchell for my art class. All three can be viewed on deviantArt: http://www.mikamoo2u2.deviantart.com/

Anyways, I got this mini catalogue in the mail displaying all the creepy, crazy costumes available at some party store. Wow. Here are some that I saw that made my eyes burn.

Sexy Freddy Krueger. AUGH MY EYES!!!!

There are some really sensible people out there. None of which created this idea for a boy's costume.

Now I ain't sayin she a gold digger.

Lil' Pimp's mom.

Oh yeah. Thats REALLY sexy.

There are TRILLIONS of terrible costumes..... Go forth and find one more awful then the ones I have selected. I DARE YA

teaser's terrify

One of the most important things (or the most important thing) for a movie is the trailer. Trailer's make the viewer decide instantly whether they will see the movie or not. It is supposed to give you a glimpse into the movie's purpose and style, but not give away way too much. Here are some examples of BAD movie trailers:
1. The Backup Plan -- You can see the entire plot just from the trailer.
2. Alpha and Omega -- Ditto.
3. Millions of other movies
Here are some examples of GOOD movie trailers:
1. Cloverfield -- Mysterious, engaging, terrifying.
2. Catfish -- Tells you absolutely nothing, but you want to know everything.
3. Where the Wild Things Are -- Used music very well and only gave a glimpse into artistic look of the film.

So what inspired me to write this blog entry? The trailer for Catfish. I can't stop thinking about it.
Gotta check it out chick-a-dees. ;)

homemade masterpiece

Hey y'all. ;)
So when I was watching Being Human a couple weeks ago, a commercial came on for a video tribute contest for the show. I told my bff at once about the contest and we squealed in excitement.
So we thought about possible scenes to re-enact. We have a friend that looks EXACTLY like George but he was busy. So we decided to choose a scene with Annie because I kinda look like her. ;)
And then I thought my bff looks a lot like Amy Pond from Doctor Who so we added her in there too. ;)
If you watch Doctor Who and Being Human you'll think our video is pretty hilarious. And it is.
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNNRZL2KWcw
Enjoy our masterpiece! ;)

push the envelope wild child

Futuristic. Psychedelic. Magic.
From Denmark to America, the music of Asteroids Galaxy Tour makes people want to dance, be merry, and go crazy. Not only have their songs been featured on numerous commercials around the world, including an iPod Touch ad, they have been played on the TV show Gossip Girl and in the movie The September Issue.
Now that's enough about their growing popularity. The music and style is the real reason why I decided to blog about them.
Their music is truely unique. The band mixes 60's with electronic with alternative and less we forget pop.
Their style is truely unique. I call it, vintage-hipster chic. But definately with a lovely futuristic twist.
