“String the ducks along, lose your taste for charms
Then when things go wrong, make a joke in order to be strong.
Start at 245, end at 542
and when you arrive, ring the bell, cuz that’s what grown boys do.
Don’t be soft, like the hands of the modern man.”
This song changed my life for like 3 minutes in my car.
Is he doing A Clockwork Orange meets Grease plus R&B song and dance?! This video is way cooler now than it was when we were little. But then again, was Usher reading A Clockwork Orange when he was 16 and wanted to put it in his video? Probably not. But you never know. Maybe Usher is a literal genius.
We need more R&B these days. I miss these jams! Usher is going kind of an electronic route, which is cool when you think about him evolving into what’s current, but sad when you think about the state of R&B music. Where’s it at in popular culture? Everything is so loud and synthy. Which is fun, but sometimes a girls gotta slow jam to some D’angelo. I really miss some hot R&B.
Remember Kelis? Remember singing this song in high school and being like “What the fuck is she saying?!” but feeling cool anyways because it was high school and anything neat made you feel like a rockstar?
SUMMER ‘012!!!!!
It’s SPRING! And that means it’s time for a face mask to get all your pale, dry skin into shape. Who the fuck can afford a facial?! Seriously, we make like, gas money and a sandwich an hour. The absolute best and cheapest way to do an at home facial for little to no cost is by using raw eggs.
Now, maybe you’re a raw shit phobe like my dear, sweet mom. Get over it. It’s not going to kill you, and it will make your skin look and feel better. Moving on.
The raw egg facial is actually two facials. You use the egg white as a sort of astringent for your face, and the egg yolk acts as a moisturizer. Nature is like, so genius.
Supplies
1 egg (you can even make it an organic egg. Organic raw egg facial. Mind blown.)
1 fork
2 bowls
washcloth (one for each friend unless you really wanna share, or all of them have been dirty since September)
wine or cocktails
Sounds like garageband from college. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.
Hahahah this is really in the news? Hilarious. Curly Sue’s Alisan Porter got married. CURLY SUE. I loved that movie so much. The pizza scene where she licks all her fingers is classic. Fuck, are we old now?
For the first time ever, I didn’t feel ultimately crushed by another celebrity divorce. I actually sighed a sigh of relief for Jennie, and I have no idea why because I don’t necessarily like or dislike Jennie or Peter. It was more because two people were married, had children, were happy and then separated. After a really long separation, they decided to divorce.
Normally, I feel sad about yet another Hollywood breakup. But this one was different. Peter and Jennie weren’t all over the tabloids for their entire weak ass relationship like Katy Perry and Russell Brand, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, etc.
P and J had kids, were quietly being human beings somewhere in California and were married for 11 years. Marriage years in Hollywood are like dog years. So they were technically together for 77 years. And then they figured out that they couldn’t be together anymore. It happens. And at least this time there was a lot of thought and consideration involved instead of an 18 million dollar paycheck, Kim.
I’m happy for Peter and Jennie. Starting anew. Good for them. I mean, after so much thought put into their divorce, one can only assume this decision will make them both happier people. To say that love is a mystery is an understatement. We go in and out of lives, love, lust and loss. and that’s life. It’s beautiful, beautifully hard but its ours and we gotta get through it.
So, Jennie and Peter, I dedicate Daniel Bedingfield’s “Gotta Get Through This” to both of you. You can do it.
A minor Moroccan commits suicide after being forced to marry her rapist from The Delta World
Horrifying.
Michelle Williams rarely ever picks a bad movie. Every movie I’ve ever seen with MW has been amazing. Blue Valentine, Wendy and Lucy, Brokeback Mountain, etc. Gurlfriend knows how to pick a flick.
Me Without You is another one of those pesky Netflix movies that always shows up but never gets watched. I didn’t know it was from 2001, until I saw Michelle Williams pre-waif, pre-Heath and pre-huge fame.
The movie centers around two neighbor best friends. They grow up through the 70s, 80s, 90s and end in 2001. I liked the movie, but that’s a whole lotta life and time to condense into 100 minutes. It doesn’t feel like it moves too fast, but it does feel like some individual character development gets lost in the story arc of the friendship. The friendship IS the movie, but it’s kind of like meeting a couple or “bestfriends*. You meet these weird, connected human beings and you never really get to know them individually besides some obvious characteristics.
It was definitely nice to watch a movie about two gal pals that wasn’t steeped in bullshit situations and lame dudes named shit like “Chip” or “Kevin” who are 25 and still talk about “the big game” because that was the peak of their life. The acting was solid, but what else do you expect from our girl Michelle?!
If you’re feeling nostalgic about yesteryear, even if you weren’t alive in the 70s, watch it. There are some great girl moments including dressing up in trashbags in the forest, after leaving our parents homes of course, to look hip for a “cool party”. We’ve all donned some pretty crazy shit trying to look cool. If you’re not feeling good for a friendship drama that takes place mostly in the 70s/80s, skip it.
Nevertheless, the clothing is amazing. It’s crazy shit, but like the over the top kind of crazy that involves heroin and blow with a shot ton of tulle and fishnets. Stella McCartney for Chloé is to thank for the fashion in the film.
Sidenote: I’ve learned that Netflix has very weird copywriters who write the descriptions, because the descripts are always weird and not really that jiving with the film. I need to keep reminding myself that whoever is writing this shit ain’t workin too hard.
