I wouldn’t be surprised if my husband gets addicted to atv racing as well. He just loves watching these things which actually bores me to death. Fortunately for us, we have more than three TV sets in the house so whenever he wants to watch a sports show, I just tell him to watch in the other room. That way, I can enjoy my sappy romance movies and reality TV shows without him mocking me. Still, if we miss each other that much, we try to compromise and watch something that we’d both enjoy so we can spend time with each other. That’s limited to cooking shows, blockbuster movies or Discovery channel.
… if you must know, Sandy Bullock won the best actress award for her role in the Blind Side.
The SATC 2 star wearing a 60′s yellow silk Chanel couture column gown.
I always knew Kristen Stewart cleans up well but here, in her Monique Lhullier gown, she’s just gorgeous! Maybe because she can still keep her goth look while wearing a glam evening gown.
I am done talking about the most effective diet pill. It’s time we live healthy by eating the right diet, exercising regularly and not obsessing about anorexic figures. Take a look at Jennifer Love Hewitt’s curves here and her suggestion to women with curves.
To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist,” she wrote, “put on a bikini — put it on and stay strong.
Okay, she still looks hot but you get what I mean. We don’t need to be a size 0 to look beautiful!
More awesome artworks from the Gallery of the Absurd. This series is about Ralph Lauren’s recent firing of one of its models because she was “too fat”. Lipshitz apparently is his real name.
This week’s theme is Supernaturals. If you have seen a movie that is all about an existence beyond the scientifically visible universe, miracles, angels and demons, ghosts, magic, or even the paranormal, then come share it with us this week.
I’m not one to watch Horror movies because the scenes always stay in my head no matter how many years it has been. The last horror movie I saw was The 6th sense and after sleepless and terrifying nights due to my wild imagination, I never watched anything that’s remotely close to that genre ever again.
But I gave 1408 a chance because my husband told me it wasn’t that scary. I’m all for paranormals and the inexplicable after all. It’s the look of the dead, evil and what-not (the ring, the grudge) that really scares me.
What I love about 1408 is that I didn’t get scared of the “ghosts” but the fact that something so bad can happen to you in a room in one hour. There’s no escape, you are tortured by your own past / thoughts, and that even if you thought you’re safe and away from that room, you’d be surprised that you’re still inside and realize that there is no going out. EVER. The room will do its best to make you want to end your life than suffer another 60 minutes inside.
Makes me wonder what I will see if I was the one staying there. It plays with what’s in your mind so it’s different for every person. Glad it was a happy ending though because I wouldn’t be able to bear it if nothing good ever comes out of that film.
This week’s theme at Tuesday Couch Potatoes is Urban Legends. If you happen to know of “an often lurid story or anecdote that is based on hearsay and widely circulated as true,” and has now been popularized on the big screen, then come share it with us. Most of the stories are gory, creepy and apocryphal at best. Be prepared to be scared!
Origins: When The Texas Chain Saw Massacre hit movie theaters in 1974, it quickly supplanted the previous year’s top horror flick, The Exorcist, as “the most terrifying movie ever made.” Unlike The Exorcist, however, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre eschewed standard production values and modern special effects in favor of a grainy documentary-like approach with decidedly low-tech visual effects. The tale of five young students who unwittingly meet up with a sinister hitchhiker, the mask-wearing maniac Leatherface (whose mask is actually made from dried human skin, not leather), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre turned “a lumberjack’s tool into the stuff of nightmares and the blood-curdling scream into an art form,” in the words of Toronto Star writer Melissa Aronzyk.
The 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been touted with the tagline “Inspired by a true story,” leading many horror fans to wonder whether the grisly film was actually based on real events, or whether the claim is simply another bit of Hollywood promotion intended to attract filmgoers via the extra-chilling lure of a macabre tale not entirely the product of a screenwriter’s imagination (a technique successfully used by the Coen brothers to entice viewers into suspending disbelief for 1996′s Fargo, their gruesome cinematic depiction of a kidnapping-for-hire scheme gone awry).
This movie was scary not because it was “based on a true incident” but even if it’s not true, ghost towns are enough to make me miss a couple of nights’ sleep. Imagine reaching a town and see empty cars or traces of people being there yet wasn’t able to leave. Even scarier is seeing a lone girl walking towards you in the middle of the dessert telling you that “they are all dead.” Definitely one freak fest!
Just want to share what I received from LBC today.
It contains my daugher’s Little Einsteins dolls – Quincy and Leo (she already has Annie and June) AND … wait for it … the items below:
All the prizes from Glo’s online birthday party! I won a total of eight items: Lancome Luxe lipstick, Loreal HIP shadow duo, NYX jumbo lip pencil, NYX sheer gloss, NYX sheer gloss 2, gap body velvet bloom, VS secret garden, bath & body works hand gel. Mostly face/lip products. Good thing I’m not prone to acne or trying out any of these might get difficult.
I still can’t believe I won all of these. And here I am thinking I never get to win on raffles. I guess I was pretty lucky that night, but not as lucky as Peachy obviously. She won the much coveted Coach bag after all!
Thanks again Glo! What a grand way to celebrate one’s birthday.
Whenever I see leprechauns, I can’t help but think about their pot of golds. Since most of them (leprechaun or gold) are always present in St Patricks Invitations, I often wish that each invitation I receive will bring me good luck. And I do receive tons of St Patricks party invitations every year. My friends love to party and party hard they do! Even if we’re all non-irish, we never let this special day pass without at least a couple of good beers in our hands. Read more…
