Westerns are totally awesome!!!

So let's discuss one of my favorite films of all time, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Is it just me or is this film timeless or what?! Am I right? I know I'm right. Sometimes when I sit down and watch old 'classic' films I enjoy them yes, but mostly based on their importance in the history of things. I can put the dated production and acting into context, but it still lingers in my mind throughout the whole film. Try watching Casablanca for example. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I didn't necessarily ease through it. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, on the other hand, draws me in so much every time that I don't even notice its 'date'. I like the intense acting and the generic Western traditions. Basically, in my eyes, it's freaking flawless! If anything it's one hell of a visual treat; the setting, the cinematography and the costume (oh the costume!) make an A+ combination. But, maybe I'm just partial to barren desert landscapes and a good Stetson.






Oh, and it does help that Clint Eastwood was a total dish. Swoon!

I'm not usually a fan of cats

except Bob Robson, of course. And this little fella.

I will NEVER get this excited over the scrunchie


This bitch is crazy! While I will admit to be a bit of a 90s revival enthusiast (I dig floral, plaid and Angela Chase) I do not, do not understand American Apparel's excitement over the scrunchie. Yes, I've had my fair share of scrunchies. My favorite was my silky pink/purple rainbow one I would wear to one side of my head (note: I had a bob at this stage. Yeah, use your imagination). I even had scrunchie envy over my sister's orange mesh one that contained multi-coloured styrofoam balls IN it! Yes, what fond memories those are. That is what I feel the scrunchie should stay , a memory. They shouldn't even be used to tie back your hair when you wash your face for god's sake! No, no, no!!!

Leatha

This isn't really anything you, the reader, can use constructively (or destructively) in your unfashionable life. I just love this more than Stella loves leatha, if that is even possible.

Is that so wrong?? p.s - thats kind of what women are biologically designed to do- have babies. perhaps it is the destiny off all things female? except like ,seahorses or something co the males have the babies in that world. sigh. to be a seahorse.

Blogging for blogging's sake

So June is considerably low in the blog numbers here, we know, we know! Perhaps it corresponds to our slow internet a.t.m. Or perhaps we are just lazy. You will never know the truth.

P.S. Lolita has a totally awesome name, winter appropriate bikini AND hat. What a cow.

People in line at supermarkets, post offices and banks take note. Please. Especially if you have an incredibly annoying and unnaturally loud voice. Please.

One last thing. Baby crocodile skinned shoes are not waterproof. Even though you'd think they would be, don't these little suckers swim when they are not shoes? But seriously, trust me, they're not.
