Let's play a game

i call it...."find the freakiest creature at your local Wal-Mart". have you guys ever heard of a website called People of Walmart ? if any of you haven't, SHAME ON YOU. if you have, then we're probably soulmates. this is one of the many vices i use to get by on a boring day. it's chalk-full of delightful patrons of our favorite superstore (eventhough my heart belongs to Target).

Observe:




this takes "To Catch a Predator" up to a whole different level. Where the H is Chris Hansen when you need him?? 






this one is my new personal favorite. 'nuff said.






"trollin" for some rollback savings






umm...wow.






Rat-tail+bedazzled shorts+massive wedgie = true love








i highly encourage you all to find your own top 5 pics. You'll thank me later.

ode to a classic

there are some movies in your life, no matter what age you are, that will stick with you forever. one film in particular (and I hope most of you will agree) is a golden little gem known as "Say Anything..."

John Cusack. *sigh*. Although he is not exactly Brad Pitt, he gave me the little butterflies that every girl gets when she has a crush on a boy. And although his character's name was Lloyd, i'm pretty sure he stole (and will continue to rob) every female's heart

every.

single.

time.

best SCENE ever:

that classic, albeit desperate scene of Lloyd holding the radio over his head in front of Diane's house...silently BEGGING her to accept his love through the ballad of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes"





best quote in the entire movie:


"What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living - is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it."

oh Audrey!

I'm a huge fan of classic movies, and one of my favorite (and probably the most timeless) actresses of all is 
Miss Audrey Hepburn.
her movies are always well written, and with her charm and grace she manages to really connect with her character, no matter what the role is.

Perhaps one of my favorite films from her is "Funny Face", starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire.
Hepburn plays Jo Stockton, an opinionated bookie turned model who is discovered by photographer Dick Avery (aptly played by Astaire). The movie is shot on location in Paris






It's the classic love story (which all us romantic saps adore)

PLUS...

there are some fabulous musical bits, that surprisingly are NOT cheesy. not one bit. 
my favorite number was "Think Pink!" 


anyway...classics never die, and this flick is definitely one for the books.
