And by oldies I don't mean late 90's boy bands. It's pretty amazing that these classic songs still get stuck in our heads 50+ years later. But have you really listened to the lyrics before?<br />I doubt it. A few weeks ago I found an oldies mix CD in my I made years ago and as I was listening pretending to be rocking a sweet poodle skirt at some dinner I came to several conclusions about some classic jams...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Leslie Gore<br />"It's My Party"<br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XsYJyVEUaC4" allowfullscreen="" width="425" frameborder="0" height="349"></iframe><br /><br />More like a party foul! For starters, we don't know for sure if Leslie Gore and Johnny and even an official couple or to be more appropriate to the topic "going steady". The song says "why is he holding her hand when he's supposed to be mine?" The key phrase is "supposed to be". And who is this Judy? Is she hotter? She must be if Johnny is running off with her at his maybe girlfriend's party. Or maybe she swallows.<br />I don't think anyone wants to go to a party where the hostess is crying all night. Her friends need to get her a shot of anything pronto and then trash talk that bitch Judy all night!<br />But the real question is would you cry to if it happened to you?<div>Yeah, most likely.<br /><br />The Foundations<br />"Build Me Up Buttercup"<br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TZ-yI2mCBAY" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="349"></iframe><br />Buttercup is a bitch! She doesn't call him back and she stands him up. He is waiting by the phone for this buttercup! This is pre cell phone so it's not like he can go do something else while he waits for this chick. Come on, that is romance! He sounds like one of those guys who goes after mean girls to make himself feel bad on purpose aka a guy you need to NOT date.<br />But what makes this "buttercup" so damn special? She must be super hot. Or maybe she let's him stick in her pooper.<br />I bet Judy is her friend.<br /><br />Bobby Day<br />"Rockin' Robin"<br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wmBmD3s-R9s" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="349"></iframe><br />For starters this song is pretty annoying yet still remains a classic. It sounds like this robin needs to head to an AA meeting ASAP! He needs to tone it down before the those birds on Jay Bird Street stage an intervention. I bet those other birds really hate the rockin' robin and hope the neighborhood feral cat lays the nom down on his ass. How do we really now that the birds on Jay Bird Street love to hear that freaking robin go "tweet, tweet, tweet"? I bet if those birds had money and thumbs they would be buying stock in ear plugs. Or they would just kill him.<br /><br />Chubby Checker<br />"Let's Twist Again"<br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LVQ0MXp-8ds" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="349"></iframe><br />I love this song! I am in full support of bringing these sweet moves back.<br />But what I want to know is did everyone stop twisting?<br />If history and <span style="font-style: italic;">Mad Men* </span>are telling the truth I thought the early 60's were just one martini drinking, cigarette smoking, twisting good time?<br />The song says "let's twist again like we did last summer, let's twist again like we did last year". So is the twist only a summer activity? It looks too fun to limit to just one season.<br /><br />*I totally have the <span style="font-style: italic;">Mad Men</span> soundtrack and don't doubt for a minute that I don't blast this shit.<br /><br />Because I do.</div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-49048754697502278292011-05-03T18:30:00.007-04:002011-05-04T16:30:38.608-04:00Journey to McDonaldlandLately, my boyfriend and I have been discussing/joking/wanting to be like the classic McDonald's characters. There is no logical reason behind our greasy- food- marketing character discussions. It is most likely because I found my Grimace shirt a few weeks. Or is it because I am just insane enough to own a Grimace shirt? Yes and Yes!<br /> Anyway, these characters are simply awesome and filled with nostalgia for almost everyone who has enjoyed a Happy Meal in the last 40 years. As an adult I still enjoy the occasional Happy Meal but usually only if I am not sober and it's anytime between midnight-3 a.m. Why 3 a.m? Because you can get a freakin' Egg McMuffin then!<br /><br />These characters are perhaps some of the best children's marketing ever embedded into our sweet little brains. Who doesn't love a cheeseburger mayor, a weird purple shape, a creepy clown, cute little chicken nuggets? An evil bastard that's who!<br />Ronald McDonald has the subject of nightmares for years but his McDonaldland cohorts are a little less threatening. For the most part.<br /><br />Mayor McCheese<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yaoVXrDaFeb_GppwB0VspMT1ihfGNgd1ISGDXkgOt-lQffH3s13AGdI1zU24w7kBsEKtiLTg_cJ_C7JwJcTyVoSXacqLiT-lXdsrkHGAcqTGDSy73eTipvf3QoTGvf2Q9hWnpKNCQV0q/s1600/mayor-mccheese.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yaoVXrDaFeb_GppwB0VspMT1ihfGNgd1ISGDXkgOt-lQffH3s13AGdI1zU24w7kBsEKtiLTg_cJ_C7JwJcTyVoSXacqLiT-lXdsrkHGAcqTGDSy73eTipvf3QoTGvf2Q9hWnpKNCQV0q/s400/mayor-mccheese.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602627387574077778" border="0" /></a>The esteemed Mayor of McDonal land. Who wouldn't vote for him? I know I would. Although there is a possibility that he might have been an evil beef head dictator. I look forward to his autobiography.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="file:///C:/Users/Emily/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/Users/Emily/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png" alt="" />Fry Kids<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVTmXALmMtRQ_k8WsaLP74czFiWdSEajPkXH_9x1PL2coY0YCOqKrYon13tLz3FgF9w-vhtzP2Bg3iR1ECh3KFSnLZuhC1ZrybgrBjqeyP4CAtK2_ENIk0_uden8yWNGwojNT_a9AQKJ0z/s1600/751-fry_kids.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 354px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVTmXALmMtRQ_k8WsaLP74czFiWdSEajPkXH_9x1PL2coY0YCOqKrYon13tLz3FgF9w-vhtzP2Bg3iR1ECh3KFSnLZuhC1ZrybgrBjqeyP4CAtK2_ENIk0_uden8yWNGwojNT_a9AQKJ0z/s400/751-fry_kids.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602629315109748002" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />They look like something that should be cleaning your car instead of fries. Probably my least favorite character. If French Fries actually tasted the way these things looked, America would the be least fattest country.<br /><br />Grimace<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=grimace.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/grimace.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />First let's start our decision of Grimace off with WHAT THE F*CK?!?!?! Does anyone know what he is? Actually, I do. He is a taste bud that represents milkshakes. Because my taste buds are purple. My taste buds do like milkshakes so I guess Mickey D's was on the something. Grimace has a sordid history. He began his life as an evil food stealer and somewhere along the way executives decided to make him a lovable purple blob. That's right kids, Grimace was a meanie.<br />Observe this poor quality vintage commercial.<br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/97YXbNaAyzA" allowfullscreen="" width="425" frameborder="0" height="349"></iframe> <br /><br />Like he wasn't creepy enough.<br /><br />Hamburglar<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=hamburglar.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/hamburglar.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Clearly, the most badass of all the McDonaldland characters.He steals burgers from kids.What's not to love? And his outfit is ready-made for prison. I wonder how many stupid kids actually stole hamburgers because Hamburglar does? I am sure many did. I look forward to their parents suing McDonald's for it.<br />Idiots.<br /><br />Birdie<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=Bridie1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/Bridie1.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Because a giant bird is somehow related to fast food? Unless it is McDonald's not so subtle way of letting us know what's really in those Big Macs. According to the McDonaldland <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonaldland">Wiki page</a>, a giant egg fell from the sky into McDonaldland and Ronald grew to love the egg and thus loved Birdie when she hatched. So she is a fast food-loving-Big-Bird-Rip off alien? Sounds about right.<br /><br />The Chicken McNuggets<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=2177279915_56650b796c.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/2177279915_56650b796c.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /> They happen to be favorite because I actually remember when they first appeared. What I wouldn't do to have my Chicken McNugget toys (see picture) back. <br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/r9oR2EmU854" allowfullscreen="" width="425" frameborder="0" height="349"></iframe><br />Clearly, the least creepy of the McDonalds characters.<br /><br />We are not even going to discuss Ronald McDonald. His rape van is parked outside your house right now and he is listening to you shower while he makes you a Roofie McFlurry.<br />Seriously, he is scary.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-10555292157549595112011-01-02T19:46:00.010-05:002011-01-02T22:24:35.352-05:00Catfights, Fur Coats, Shoulder Pads, Big Hair, and Oil....either it's a sale at Goodwill or "Dynasty"In 2003, all the teenage douches were having <span style="font-style: italic;">Laguna Beach</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">The O.C.</span> viewing parties while comparing Ugg's. The poor guys who were drafted into this hell pretended to either enjoy those awful shows in an attempt to get a little over the Abercrombie sweater action or pretend they weren't gay while they re-dressed Lauren Conrad in their minds.<br />Unlike those kids, I have a appreciation for syndicated dramas of the past and instead I was being fabulous (although I had not concept of what that term meant) and was watching awesomely trashy 1980s night time soap <span style="font-style: italic;">Dynasty</span>.<br />The show chronicles the exploits of the Denver oil tycoon Blake Carrington (John Forsythe), his wife Krystle (Linda Evans), Blake's manipulative ex-wife and business rival Alexis Morrell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan (Joan Collins), their children, their sex lives, and their business ups and downs. Viewers tuned in weekly from 1981-1989 to watch these crazy people rock some HUGE hair, wear mink, drive Rolls-Royces, call each other bitches, and practically drown in shoulder pads. <span style="font-style: italic;">Dynasty</span> was the perfect example of the excess and glam of the 1980s aka Regan-nomics. I don't think Barack would approve.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_cJDzctowA3jXu9iG0qJbwZHjXU0Fh0w0LdDU4V-nKpl_EY1mVv1yzIVVKqZNTiNTvNxOZaidgSk3n0R6ly3eWpODrvcHLih1GA79uQzIVePa5-mwE_1qE2qkh7fesiUP7kGFxwDKkJth/s1600/Dynasty-Dynasty-TV-series-007.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 447px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_cJDzctowA3jXu9iG0qJbwZHjXU0Fh0w0LdDU4V-nKpl_EY1mVv1yzIVVKqZNTiNTvNxOZaidgSk3n0R6ly3eWpODrvcHLih1GA79uQzIVePa5-mwE_1qE2qkh7fesiUP7kGFxwDKkJth/s400/Dynasty-Dynasty-TV-series-007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557766072355273170" border="0" /></a><br /></div>While Dynasty is famous for it's drill, baby, drill story lines and tacky clothes, it was even more known for the catfights between it's female characters. From what I have been told (I was a year old when this show went off the air) this was the first time that women were really allowed to express psychical violence on television. Now just walk into any bar that plays "The Electric Slide" at least twice a night and you will see plenty of girl on girl violence. The cat fights were completley ridiculous which makes them even more lovable in my book.<br />Here are some classic examples....<br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0LbLikClWnM?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0LbLikClWnM?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eiRy1Cn4U2Q?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eiRy1Cn4U2Q?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />My favorite!<br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ELzjQ8F_2gE?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ELzjQ8F_2gE?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />This moment which is now known as The Moldavian Massacre is in my opinion one of the most insane moments in television history.

Williams helped bring harsh realism to the stage of world theatre and succeeded in creating some of the most adored and critically acclaimed plays in theatre history. His plays also introduced some of the most memorable and tragic characters ever performed onstage. Not only did Tennessee Williams bring contentious issues to the forefront of theatre, he gave the rest of the world a deeper insight into the American South which before had been looked upon with shame and regret due to its sordid history. The film versions of his plays <i style="">A Streetcar Named Desire </i>and <i style="">Cat on a Hot Tin Roof </i>are both considered milestone achieves in American cinema and revolutionary in the struggle with film censorship. Williams is also responsible for his enhancement and contributions to the sub-genre of Southern Gothic literature (my favorite genre). Williams is also known for the autobiographical influence on his works. According to Williams’ close friend and famed theatrical and film director Elia Kazan "Everything in his life is in his plays, and everything in his plays is in his life</span><span style="font-size:100%;">." It takes a lot of balls to write about your own life and admit it so one up, Tennessee! </span><span style="font-size:100%;">His life was pretty tragic. His father was an alcoholic and his mother and sister suffered from mental illness. </span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:officedocumentsettings> <o:relyonvml/> <o:allowpng/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings>

The film was also directed by Elia Kazan. The film tells the scandalous story of a nineteen year-old girl named Baby Doll and her middle-aged cotton farmer husband, Archie. The couple has yet to consummate their marriage due to the fact that Baby Doll promised her now deceased father that she would remain a virgin until her twentieth birthday which happens to be two days away from the start of the film. The title character sleeps in a crib-like bed separate from her husband who peeps at her through a small hole in the walls between their separate rooms. The forbidden issues of the films including sexual repression, voyeurism, and juvenile seduction shocked both audiences. The Legion rated the film a “C” or condemned and many theatres were required by the Legion of Decency film censorship committee to cancel showings of the film. <i style="">Time Magazine </i>noted the film as being “Just possibly the dirtiest American-made motion picture that has ever been legally exhibited". It's one of those movies that after you watch it you need to take a shower. It's still creepy as hell today.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLtXwsr-aD2NddQR3OMDEeB-KNaGTLc-Er65ahtEPfA7tob4htw93y2HJnnW9wtTUscP4sXQcCKjJzW7CS6RK76XH2lpHV4q98fin_Wv0LPUMhC14IfuLUK5yIRe2UZuQLH3bdnVZso_MT/s1600/baby-doll-movie-poster.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 412px; height: 323px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLtXwsr-aD2NddQR3OMDEeB-KNaGTLc-Er65ahtEPfA7tob4htw93y2HJnnW9wtTUscP4sXQcCKjJzW7CS6RK76XH2lpHV4q98fin_Wv0LPUMhC14IfuLUK5yIRe2UZuQLH3bdnVZso_MT/s320/baby-doll-movie-poster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550198596127283730" border="0" /></a></span><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >The film <i style="">Baby Doll</i> was not the first time that the Tennessee Williams/ Elia Kazan team had trouble with the Hollywood censorship laws of the day. In 1951, the graphic subject matter of <i style="">A Streetcar Named Desire </i>was so shocking to many in the Hollywood community that it almost was never produced, which was mainly because studio heads feared a film that controversial would be a box-office failure. Karl Malden, Kim Hunter, Marlon Brando, and Jessica Tandy starred in the Broadway production which opened in 1947. </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Warner Brothers agreed to make the movie as long as they had a star to carry the film. Enter Vivien Leigh. Exit Jessica Tandy (who was pissed!) Get over it Tandy, you lived to be at least 1,000. If you Google Jessica Tandy the phrase "Is Jessica Tandy still alive" shows up. I swear.<br /><br /><a

members, critics, and several of the actors in the film complained that the screenplay was too difficult to understand due to the cut and re-imagined scenes (Agreed!). While this film was important to the fight against censorship in film, it was also the first film to popularize the use of Method Acting (which is COMPLETE BULLSHIT) and launched Marlon Brando’s career. The Method technique was used by Brando, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden. While Vivien Leigh was from the old school show-up-and-do-your-fucking-lines school of acting (as am I). Despite the backlash of the film, <i style="">A Streetcar Named Desire</i> is a classic film that showcases some of the finest acting ever put on film and is considered one of the greatest play adaptations ever.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><a

At the time his work was published and being performed, the mention of homosexuality in American theatre was almost unheard of. As a homosexual male and a writer, Williams’ felt that it was his assumed responsibility to create positive images of homosexuals for the theatre-going public. Williams’ has created some of the great male roles of the twentieth-century but it is his female characters that have generated the most attention and caused much of the controversy with his work. . Williams’ relationships with the women in his life mainly his sister, Rose and his Aunt Belle who was the inspiration for Blanche DuBois proved to be vital to his writing. Early on in his career, Williams’ was criticized for the female characters he created. <span style=""> </span>Many theatre critics felt that they were idealistic and according to Williams’ in a 1975 interview “All my relationships with women are very, very important to me. The most stupid thing said about my writing is that my heroines are disguised transvestites. Absolutely and totally none of them are anything but women”. (A Blanche drag queen? I think so!)</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >That being said, many thought that Williams’ supposed incapacity to write women was based on his homosexuality. Williams’ was extremely open about the fact that he based almost all of his plays on his own life. He is quoted as saying "It's true my heroines often speak for me”.<span style=""> </span>Audiences and critics alike were concerned that he was writing his plays to target a specific audience. In this case being the gay community. This proved false when his plays became international Pulitzer Prize winning successes. No one was more aware of this than Williams’ himself who said “I do not have a faggot, a homosexual, or a gay, audience. I write for an audience”.

When Tennessee Williams died on February 25, 1983 at age 71 in New York City by mistakenly swallowing a bottle cap, the world lost one of its greatest inhabitants. His work is still being read in English classes and performed in acting classes and stages all over the world. By simply reading his work one can tell that Williams was extremely passionate about his writing and truly loved his occupation. Known for his sinister stories, when Williams’ memoirs were published he originally wanted to entitle the book “Flee, Flee This Sad Hotel.” Instead he changed is mind when he realized “my life is as much a merry tavern as a sad hotel.

My teacher brought it up in class today and I was one of my only people who got the joke (I am just fun like that). It's an interesting place and vital to some geological discoveries (it's pretty much like the East Coast version of the La Brea Tar Pits).

Shown going into or struggling inside the marsh bog are a woolly mammoth, a mastodon, a giant sloth, bison, various skeletal remains, and scavengers feeding on the carcasses. Visitors approach the diorama on a boardwalk that rises above the floor of the marsh, enabling them to "look history in the eye." An amphitheater upslope from the diorama can be used as an outdoor classroom. The diorama and the Discovery Trail are sited to provide the physically challenged visitors with the opportunity to experience the varied grassland, wetland and savanna environments and the bog diorama</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7pRLnivWl_vCKITGPemTvUkF4vTNGohZHvH39REpWaVo-NIuVeuRIsrCGbfd2Bl7WYheD6LIFDvThWWfL4cD0vVMBH_dPvKy_KGxE5Mkm7_zm1rGcLPFCth52YBFDXv62fJQjYveWVQ5x/s1600/big_bone_sloth.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 389px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7pRLnivWl_vCKITGPemTvUkF4vTNGohZHvH39REpWaVo-NIuVeuRIsrCGbfd2Bl7WYheD6LIFDvThWWfL4cD0vVMBH_dPvKy_KGxE5Mkm7_zm1rGcLPFCth52YBFDXv62fJQjYveWVQ5x/s320/big_bone_sloth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542417986812290354" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNnlK8u_s4jOURXey-QUc44AqAVLlyheUHZqz3ll_B4TDXJqo_ykCHZFkMJQnaFZD27-zIuBn80_CzzP9FuDEN23PQ9va9XoDGBDPj689aIGa-8LbHP3gaJSz-yLns-qqbVOjfC9eXbVW9/s1600/big_bone_lick-state_park-kentucky-diorama.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 404px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNnlK8u_s4jOURXey-QUc44AqAVLlyheUHZqz3ll_B4TDXJqo_ykCHZFkMJQnaFZD27-zIuBn80_CzzP9FuDEN23PQ9va9XoDGBDPj689aIGa-8LbHP3gaJSz-yLns-qqbVOjfC9eXbVW9/s320/big_bone_lick-state_park-kentucky-diorama.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542417958296297458" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiubmTtrjcmU-R8EdTJZS2czQbAveFrzs6sRBJvtvz0oQrtlgm0L1ZHKiYPlIcdJMZYJWgscbKUMOrQ6OvRQXGWPHJTktPbL4czUjzR_uNz7fwXM3byNq9cSl-P_h6Wz96dV9zv_3C6lBDx/s1600/bonelick.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 418px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiubmTtrjcmU-R8EdTJZS2czQbAveFrzs6sRBJvtvz0oQrtlgm0L1ZHKiYPlIcdJMZYJWgscbKUMOrQ6OvRQXGWPHJTktPbL4czUjzR_uNz7fwXM3byNq9cSl-P_h6Wz96dV9zv_3C6lBDx/s320/bonelick.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542417950756497170" border="0" /></a><br />It is a coincidence that Big Bone Lick State Park is located at <span style="visibility: visible;" id="main"><span style="visibility: visible;" id="search">3380 Beaver Rd?<br />I hope not!<br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br /></span></span>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-21758638445650867022010-11-09T17:35:00.018-05:002011-02-08T20:41:33.113-05:00Fashion...Friend or Foe?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFpDG1NFi9j76hbxjuTQm2_KJfYdIua5hG9L6AHWaEa29pKBAVIKnMFaQYPUE62M6NIAAHnkUm8kBVtAs4ycprR6KWnbL8dMyGfCutmQShWxAvDeyrRWbRv_UavUNgMjJ-nYNcmrZKKhGp/s1600/wdYt3f5uzd64zlpik66RGUkk_500.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7oTEud7905T1bz0yJg6SVPA9dwlC82VQASLBWG_vLw39A_gnCFaZyOph80Vi9KbY4w7quqpNE5OyqQmG87J7wzBFV34CSaKbHQKGuGRoaoqtCerJHAML6Xi86z48nD0dKuwHmFel3tET4/s1600/1421898063_22154a71c0.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7oTEud7905T1bz0yJg6SVPA9dwlC82VQASLBWG_vLw39A_gnCFaZyOph80Vi9KbY4w7quqpNE5OyqQmG87J7wzBFV34CSaKbHQKGuGRoaoqtCerJHAML6Xi86z48nD0dKuwHmFel3tET4/s400/1421898063_22154a71c0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571437606684097714" border="0" /></a>I hate to sound like someone's stuck up grandmother but with the exception of a few things I am not a fan of the majority of the current fashions today. Before all the fashionistas close the tab on this entry, I don't hate them all. I like fashion, cute clothes, and I like when other people tell me my clothes are cute. Let me explain....<br />For those who aren't a stick figure it's difficult to pull of skinny jeans and baby doll shirts (or something similar to those)which is all I seem to ever really find when I attempt to go shopping. If you can rock those then more power to you sister! You are fabulous and have hundreds of girls jealous of you! Well done! <br />For those of us who end up looking like a pregnant puffy Cheeto when wearing those items of clothing, shopping is more like the first 30 minutes of <span style="font-style: italic;">Saving Private Ryan</span> than a nice stroll through the mall. By that I mean you have to fight to find the clothes you can pull off. I would describe myself as a chubby hourglass with former middle school cheerleader thighs which quite frankly sucks like an algae eater in a dirty fish tank. Seriously I could have the flu, a stomach virus, be on Dexatrim, not eat for a month, continue to work out 405 and never loose a pound. So I pretty much begrudgingly learned to accept this fact, wear Spanx and make up for my shortcomings in the body department with witty repartee. Moving on...<br />Recently I discovered that the majority of my pants had holes in them and since I have about a shot glass-sized amount of decency and shame left and vagina thermals are not exactly a practical option I decided it was time for some new pants. I went to a few places and was bombarded with skinny jean after skinny jean after skinny jean. I did end up buying two pairs one of which is only for work (I have to wear black pants and I was desperately needing some) and other I only wear with boots which block the as I call it "skinny jean boat feet syndrome". Everyday I look forward for the calendar to change and the weather to warm up so I can turn those sons of bitches into cut-offs or carpi pants. Ole!<br /><br />My tastes have changed over the years when it comes to clothes. I used to be more into bold patterns and honestly just tacky stuff. Now as I approach what I call "being a real grown-up" I tend to learn towards basic, solid colors and bold accessories.<br />On any given day you will find me wearing any of the following items of clothing:<br /><ul><li>Something leopard print (it's classic yet funky don't judge!)</li><li>Fake pearl earrings (the Spanish know me as La Cheapa)</li><li>A University of Kentucky t-shirt or hoodie (it's the easiest thing to find for me and I look good in the color and I can wear them to work)</li><li>Something that vintage or something that looks vintage<br /></li><li>Anything shiny (I excel at attracting gays and plan to do it until I am wearing bedazzled track suits which might be any day now!)</li></ul>To sum all of this up wear what you like, what makes you happy and what makes you look good. It's not about being hip, cool, groovy, or whatever the kids are saying these days. Just be yourself, have fun, and don't buy what you can't afford (hit up the second-hands, outlets, and sales so much as possible, ladies. It will save you money and you will find some one-of-a-kind, classic pieces).<br />But the real issue here is why don't people look like this anymore......<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv3npshHgZNrmOz6GXQFIZQoe_4QDS-qdMIYXEkkWf62GiIsxE0jL9EhbsIejMXwikrS1w2ZOB0oiTSRLphaToPWmZVx97N-6MVShim9WsuzHu2ODlb706oHA6mqr1Y_01huuTCjPldmTu/s1600/chanel-no-perfume.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

One would think that movies about a usually male psycho chopping up naked girls would appeal to weird, horny boys. Well, you thought wrong my friend! Many girls love it too. Not all girls fit my female slasher lover criteria but if you do this what you are....<br /><ul><li>Aged 13-45</li><li>Attractive</li><li>Usually in a committed relationship<br /></li></ul>Almost every day when I worked at Blockbuster I would have girls come in and ask me for horror movie recommendations while their boyfriends and husbands groaned and walked towards the comedy,action and soft-core porn. I enjoyed helping these gore hound girls. It was fun and I always liked talking to people about different movies. I also would love when they would return the movie and tell me they loved it. I felt like I was doing a public service and helping people get their money's worth of entertainment.<br />The question is why are so many girls attracted to horror movies? I thought I was the only one who had noticed this until my boyfriend and I watched a documentary called <span style="font-style: italic;">Going To Pieces:The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film</span> where some the point was brought up. According to the documentary (and me) girls enjoy these films because most of the time a female is the hero. Look back at movies like <span style="font-style: italic;">Rear Window</span> where Grace Kelly is hell bent to solve the mystery of the missing neighbor all while looking fabulous and saving the day. (I have a theory that Grace Kelly was the prototype for the last surviving smart girls in horror movies).<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9INMDqM5t9o?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9INMDqM5t9o?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br />In every horror movie now there is that last remaining girl who either gets away, kills the bad guy or is left to come back for the sequel such as Nancy aka Heather Langenkamp in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Nightmare on Elm Street </span>movies who finally gets rid of Freddy even though I love him and want him to kill all those stupid teenagers.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU-XqWY_c_fyIJNGVjlep0adHBxzFzM933ttkfmi-CSPiUgoUwa9KIfick5CsWYbSFKNRpZ5ySM_6nn9a1QlrCcKKDC-CwGCSLV46iZpnVCG-I3usvj94uIN-q6JAHwgS3y5NFXqdeT06i/s1600/heatheract.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 189px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU-XqWY_c_fyIJNGVjlep0adHBxzFzM933ttkfmi-CSPiUgoUwa9KIfick5CsWYbSFKNRpZ5ySM_6nn9a1QlrCcKKDC-CwGCSLV46iZpnVCG-I3usvj94uIN-q6JAHwgS3y5NFXqdeT06i/s320/heatheract.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529052957075476322" border="0" /></a><br />Then you have the heroines who do some serious ass kicking such as in 1980s <span style="font-style: italic;">I Spit on Your Grave</span> which was the first female revenge movies and has some of the most disgusting scenes ever put on celluloid. It's a good cautionary tale and allowed girls to seek justice on those who did them wrong. Note to girls:this is not a good date movie. Watch this one alone or with your friends. I was actually told by a guy I dated in high school to watch this one alone. YIKES!<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yKCys3sd8Bw?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yKCys3sd8Bw?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />While there are the girls who save the day there are also some great horror female villains even though they are very hard to come by. Girls cheer on the heroines but we also love a good nasty, female villain. Society frowns upon women being bad which is why we are so drawn to them such as The Bride of Frankenstein. Even though we only see her for about 5 minutes in the actual <span style="font-style: italic;">Bride of Frankenstein</span> film she is the most popular Classic Universal monster. Why? Because she a monster with boobs. What's not to love?<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/images/bride%20of%20frankenstein" target="_blank"><img src="http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae225/EmilyinChains714/Distorted/Cinema/The_Bride1.jpg" border="0" alt="Elsa Lanchester as The Bride of Frankenstein Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a><br />Some other great female villains include that awful Japanese girl in <span style="font-style: italic;">Audition</span>, Glenn Close as the infamous Alex Forrester in <span style="font-style: italic;">Fatal Attraction</span>, Sherri Moon as Baby<span style="font-style: italic;"> in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses</span>, and Shawnee Smith as Amanda in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Saw </span>movies.<br />Another reason why I think girls are drawn to these movies is that they teach us that bad girls and whores die first. If you are a girl who has sex in a horror movie you will die! I think there is a fascination with wanting to see girls that remind us of the ones we hated in high school get hacked up. Also consider the fact that us girls bleed for five days every month gives us a higher tolerance for blood. Sorry to be gross but it's true. If men had periods they would all kill themselves. Like I said, girls are scary!<br />Happy Halloween!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-73720605249979285482010-10-13T19:57:00.004-04:002010-10-13T20:58:21.204-04:00Halloween Blog #2: Halloween FoodHalloween is a time for lots of yummy/bad for you treats. Now that I think about that so is Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, News Year Eve, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, and so on. Not only do I get all the classic Halloween treats I also get some form of cake and presents (YAY!).<br />Here is a breakdown of all my favorite Halloween goodies. Nom nom!<br /><br />Caramel/Candy Apples<br />Who doesn't love a good sugary covered apple this time of year? Has anyone else noticed that caramel/candy apples are getting a little fancier each year? Besides the classic, plain caramel and candy I have also seen some with nuts, rainbow sprinkles, M&Ms, marshmallows, and this summer I saw one at a gourmet candy shop by Cincinnati covered in peanut butter and Reese's Pieces!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-WuMX7av6-At3hKvBd4R-uWRCXTsys5FS0lDufyNdDXkGtbwnEgY7ViZrIiTuNWPrrJz4na8BSkoMDoxLe9t1q4eU48NJxlHO30pgAfOzV81JMTBFaMKRW5eKoc-pyETamnF8lqwrvdsq/s1600/candy-caramel-apples.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-WuMX7av6-At3hKvBd4R-uWRCXTsys5FS0lDufyNdDXkGtbwnEgY7ViZrIiTuNWPrrJz4na8BSkoMDoxLe9t1q4eU48NJxlHO30pgAfOzV81JMTBFaMKRW5eKoc-pyETamnF8lqwrvdsq/s400/candy-caramel-apples.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527688539822469826" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Candy Corn<br />Not my favorite but I do enjoy a nice, healthy handful of candy corn every now and then. I think that candy corn is more cute than tasty and it is symbolic of the season.<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=brachs-candy-corn-web.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/brachs-candy-corn-web.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Popcorn Balls<br />These are great as long as you don't break a tooth! They are way better when they are homemade. Since popcorn balls are a royal pain in the ass to make I can settle with packaged ones.<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=popcornballs1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/popcornballs1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale<br />I just learned to appreciate the joys of beer this year. Oh, and I am glad I did! The Blue Moon Brewing Co. comes out with special seasonal brews and my favorite is the Autumn Pumpkin Ale. It's a little weird at first and I was apprehensive at first. It doesn't taste like a piece of pumpkin pie smashed up in a beer like one would think. It's more of a darker beer with an occasional taste of pumpkin. Bottoms up!!<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=HM_web1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/HM_web1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Caramel Apple Pops<br />These are my absolute favorite candy! I couldn't find them for a few years and my Halloween season was just not the same. I found some at Meijer a few weeks and I snapped and bought 4 bags!<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=candywarehouse_2021_66092260.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/candywarehouse_2021_66092260.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Halloween Cupcakes<br />I usually end up with cupcakes on Halloween. Last year for my birthday, I ended up ordering way too many from the bakery. When my mom went to pick them up there was a lady next to her who was also picking up Halloween cupcakes. The lady said "Do you have a Halloween baby, too?"<br />"Yes."<br />"How old is yours?"- the lady asked<br />"She is 21."<br />"Mine is 1 today."<br />FAIL!<br />This year I am making my own damn cake (even though those bakery cupcakes are super cute).<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=halloween-confetti-cupcakes-header-size.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/halloween-confetti-cupcakes-header-size.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-25527861821777707812010-10-09T11:01:00.016-04:002010-10-09T12:11:06.258-04:00Halloween Blog #1: 80's Horror Movie PostersOctober is my favorite time of year. Not only is Halloween my favorite holiday, it also happens to be my birthday. I am pretty hardcore Halloween (I have a bat tattooed on my foot in honor of the day) and I am writing a series of Halloween-related blogs.<br />I have always enjoyed 1980s horror movies. The 80s were the heyday for slasher and horror movies. I think many fans would agree that the best horror movies were made between 1980-1989. Humans have always enjoyed violence and horror and it wasn't until this time that Hollywood really caught on to this and decided to cash in. If it wasn't for <span style="font-style: italic;">Psycho </span>20 years before we wouldn't have Freddy, Jason, or Michael Myers. So thank you, Hitchcock for killing Janet Leigh in the shower!<br />Many of my peers have a special place in our hearts for these movies. Not because we saw them when they originally released but because we remember going to the now almost-extinct video stores with our families and friends and wandering over into the horror section knowing we weren't supposed to and looking at these VHS box covers in both fascination and terror. We wanted to watch these seemingly terrifying movies but were too afraid too. During my three year stint at Blockbuster I remember seeing kids and preteens do this as well with the same posters I did as well as the newer ones. When I got old enough to see these movies I was not disappointed although these 80s horror films are not going to win an Academy Award (some are just plain awful) but they are fun and symbolic of Halloween itself and a by-gone era in cinema.<br />I did some searching for some of my favorite 80s horror movie posters. They just don't make 'em like they used to!<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvLLPtfw1rgetjngr2_oZ4APqKMcZiVohX4LjVhGdXC2jaVCUZ4bkmE9Yv7u_sRukU1WNqQvAw-NIZrI5Stl-0UPXtuqzH8U7Bnn7LGyJNlvEIiDdPmew1Qfs9rB3Iv61RdoIVal51ocv3/s1600/the-monster-squad-horror-movie-poster.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

With only 2 episodes left of season 4, I thought I would share some of my favorite moments from the show (including seasons 1-3). *SPOILERS* Hint: click on the links for videos!<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=DonUndresses.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/DonUndresses.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />For starters this show is extremely clever. I feel like I learn something when I watch and it's also a show that I am not ashamed of (cough, cough, hint, hint <span style="font-style: italic;">Teen Mom</span>). It helps to know business terminology when watching this show. Thanks to my almost completed Arts Administration degree this is not an issue. Who ever would have thought that a show about advertising in the 1960s would have been so interesting? There are masses of 1960s pop culture references (Who could forget the <span style="font-style: italic;">Bye,Bye Birdie </span>style commercial in Season 3 or little Sally Draper going to see The Beatles at Madison Square Garden a few weeks ago? Or Peggy's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kED6sVg3J0">Twist</a> infused promotion party?) It also deals with real historical events, people and real products and companies. There was a whole episode dedicated to the day JFK was shot. It's clear that the writers and directors do their history homework. The agency also holds accounts with Bird's Eye, Playtex, Mountain Dew, Samsonite suitcases, Kodak, and Lucky Strike. This is a clever tactic because the audience is familiar with all of those brand names so it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu-TO4WH2uo&feature=related">feels familiar and you can relate to the ads made on the show</a>.<br />One thing that <span style="font-style: italic;">Mad Men</span> does is that at the start of every season time jumps forward one year. This leads to things happening at the beginning of seasons that are never really explained. The audience just learns to accept them and move on . Also many major plot points are left unanswered and unresolved. Such as Peggy and Pete's illegitimate baby in Seasons 1 & 2 and what ever happened to Roger Sterling's daughter? I am sure we will find out eventually but for now we will just have to wait and wonder.<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=mad-men_l.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/mad-men_l.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />I think that Season 4 has been the best so far. It's a little different in the sense that Sterling Cooper is now Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce after the original agency was bought out at the end of season 3. It took a little getting used to a new set. The season is all about characters starting over in a new office as well as in life. Don Draper has finally gotten divorced from everyone's favorite bitchy housewife, Betty. Joan Holloway Harris is married with a husband (who is a complete tool and who raped her in season 3) in Vietnam. Peggy Olson is slowly rising to the top of the corporate latter and Roger is rekindling his affair with Joan all while starting the new agency.<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=madmenrollingstone.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/madmenrollingstone.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />My favorite part of the new season so far is the awkward somewhat romantic relationship between Don and Peggy. I did not see this coming at all. The more I see it the more I like it and I think that we will see them together possibly at the end of this season. I love the idea and I think it makes perfect sense because they are the male and female versions of each other and it just makes sense considering Peggy is pretty much the only regular female character besides Joan that Don Draper hasn't screwed. It would be a great plot twist and cause many troubles for the at the office. The more trouble we have at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce the better the show is!<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r4Bl9-UxDeQ?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r4Bl9-UxDeQ?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />I also love that we saw some more Joan and Roger.

This is just one of those what the f*ck moments that only this show could pull off. It's hilarious yet horrible and unlike any other scene ever put on TV. Even if you have never seen this show you know that someone got their foot cut off with a lawnmower on <span style="font-style: italic;">Mad Men</span>.<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bdGBuh67A0o?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bdGBuh67A0o?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br />Vomit. Yep you read that right. Vomit. For some reason this show has an excessive amount of vomit. There is no video for this because, well it's vomit and that's gross. I am not really sure why there is so much vomit on this show. It's gross yet funny at the same time. The most memorable vomit scene on this show would have to be Roger on the stairs after a lunch of martinis and oysters and before a heart attack after he and Don have sex with twin sisters. Okay moving on....<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGJuWTQxbmM&feature=related">Betty VS. The Birds</a><br />This is such a great Betty moment.

I am actually a little disturbed by this.<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g1g3ZHeE2DQ?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g1g3ZHeE2DQ?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br />Why do Joan and Don randomly kiss? I fully support this but what does it mean? Is it some kind of odd brother-sister love or is it unresolved sexual tension?<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=don-joan-kiss2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/don-joan-kiss2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />I hope everyone enjoyed my thoughts on <span style="font-style: italic;">Mad Men</span>.

This one's a doozie!<br />I have been planning this blog for a some time now and I think it's finally time it happened.<br />If you know anything about Hollywood history and the casting of <span style="font-style: italic;">Gone with the Wind</span> then you already know the direction this is going.<br />For starters, my boyfriend Cory and I get along great. We have lots in common and agree on most things. One thing we have in common is a love for Classic Hollywood. The one thing that we disagree on the most when it comes to movies is the casting of Scarlett O'Hara.<br />This is not something that is a great barrier or anything that results in a knock down drag out fight. It's just something fun to joke about and somehow we manage to bring it up everyday. It's gotten to the point now where it's always something I can count on.<br />I am pro-Vivien Leigh and he is on team Paulette Goddard, who was almost cast as the infamous Southern Belle. Paulette Goddard was signed with David Selznick at the time but he did not cast her because she couldn't prove that she was legally married to Charlie Chaplin. At the time our buddy Vivien Leigh was legally married to her first husband but was "living in sin" as they say with Laurence Olivier. I really don't see the difference in those situations but it was 1939 and people cared about things like that then. Nowadays you could marry a chicken on the internet, have a Cheeto as your maid of honor (or best man) and video tape your wedding night and no one would bat an eye.<br />I love Paulette Goddard. I think she is adorable and I love her in the movie <span style="font-style: italic;">The Ghostbreakers </span>with Bob Hope. But she is was not the right choice for the part of Scarlett.<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=goddardp2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/goddardp2.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />She could have played Scarlett if<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><span>Rhett had needed a zany sidekick. Having coached some acting pieces before I can tell that Paulette Goddard</span> is a good actress by watching her screen test. Just because you are a good actress doesn't mean you can't play every part that comes your way. If you act, the sooner you know this the better off you will be :).<br />Obviously, Vivien Leigh was cast accordingly. NOTE TO CORY: There was no casting couch involved regardless of what you think, my dear!<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=Vivien_Leigh.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/Vivien_Leigh.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />Here are the screen tests from <span style="font-style: italic;">GWTW</span>. I am kinda obsessed with this video. I think it's hilarious and interesting to see all the different acting choices. It's a little painful in some parts (poor Lana Turner and Tallulah Bankhead. Really what the fuck were they thinking.) I would hate to think that my massive acting fail is immortalized on celluloid for ever.<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6xmfLHXiAhA?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6xmfLHXiAhA?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Anyway, enjoy and remember that tomorrow is another day!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-85592903071038669602010-09-04T12:16:00.005-04:002010-09-04T13:01:00.133-04:00I has a hot dog?This week I lost my beloved dog of 15 years, Bingo Anne. She had cancer and we had to put her down. It has been really hard but I know we did the right thing for her. She had such a great life and lived a very, very, very long time for a big dog. We are not really sure what kind of dog she was. We know she is some kind of husky mix. Perhaps a little bit of a wolf. She was just a good ol' outside dog who killed and ate all kinds of small backyard animals including our neighbor's pet yellow cockatoo and a cat until she discovered air conditioning. Our trusty outside guard dog was then a spoiled rotten house dog. We referred to her as "The Bitch" because she was the top dog (the other dogs we had including Fudge knew it too). Some people found her a little scary because she looked so much like a wolf and had some wild animal like characteristics. I was never scared of her because she was just a big baby (who could cut a bitch! lol). She was the best dog ever!

They are so funny and the captions that people put on the pictures perfectly capture the spirit of the dogs or googies as they are called on the site.<br />Here are some that I made....<br /><a href="http://cheezburger.com/View/3923713024"><img src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/9/2/5aad554c-0290-44d1-880f-5c736ac0d36d.jpg" id="_r_a_3923713024" title="I eated the kitteh It was good noms" alt="I eated the kitteh It was good noms" /></a><br /><a href="http://cheezburger.com/View/3767720960"><img src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/7/18/4b3ea2a1-805c-41ab-ad43-5060998a8732.jpg" id="_r_a_3767720960" title="I haz hangover" alt="I haz hangover" /></a><br /><a href="http://cheezburger.com/View/3922009344"><img src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/9/1/d45e6d31-395f-4bf3-8608-0066f1d3f4bf.jpg" id="_r_a_3922009344" title="Breaking News - Bingo doesn't give a shit!" alt="Breaking News - Bingo doesn't give a shit!" /></a><br /><a href="http://cheezburger.com/View/3930763008"><img src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/9/4/70715de7-fa21-4ae6-b360-2713f05c1ac0.jpg" id="_r_a_3930763008" title="I iz a husky!!

It's my favorite show on TV right now. It's like they made that show just for me. It's funny, sexy, romantic, dramatic, and filled with some great blood splatter moments.<br />Season 3 has been my favorite so far. Season 1 was intriguing and was a great set up for the following seasons. While Season 2 had it moments, I have to say it was my least favorite so far. The whole Fellowship of the Sun and Mary Anne drama went on a little too long. Season 2 did bring us some great flashback moments and had a great season end cliffhanger.<br />Since us fangbangers only have 1 episode left I thought I would discuss my favorite/least favorite moments in Season 3. But first of all I want to meet the sick fuck who ordered the veggie burger with bacon!<br /><br />Favorite: Pam and Jessica's Relationship<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=TRUE-BLOOD-Season-3-Kristin-Bauer-D.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/TRUE-BLOOD-Season-3-Kristin-Bauer-D.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />I love that Pam has unwillingly and hilarious taken babyvamp Jessica under her wing. Jessica is well on her way to becoming a bad ass bitch vamp like Pam. I love their scenes together this season. I can't wait to see what they do with Jessica.<br /><br />Favorite: Pam in general aka Lesbian Weirdness<br />From the very beginning I have been a Pam fan. This season we really got to see more of Pam even though we haven't gotten any flashbacks from her yet. I got my fingers crossed that we will see some in Season 4. What we have learned about Pam this season is that she is a lesbian, she hates kids, she was once a hooker and she isn't as tough as she seems (we saw her cry last Sunday). Please Pam, don't cry anymore! Sookie also doesn't want anymore of your lesbian weirdness but I think that viewers would disagree.<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0UoWLCikQlo?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0UoWLCikQlo?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Least favorite: Tara<br />I am sick of her drama. I got sick of her in Season 2 with the whole Eggs and Mary Anne situation. She is not funny or interesting. Just kill her already! The only cool thing Tara did this season so far was bash that crazy but awesome motherfucker Franklin in the head.<br />Tara is too dumb to realize that the only ways to kill a vampire is to stake them, cut their head off, or put them in the sun.<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/egLcoDYNUh8?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/egLcoDYNUh8?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Least Favorite: Crystal<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/TB80CrystalPanther-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 300px;" src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/TB80CrystalPanther-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The whole werepanther thing is cool as hell but Crystal is not. Maybe we will finally get a cool werepanther in a later season. I find Crystal annoying and stupid just like Tara. Let's hope they never have a scene together :( If I wanted to see white trash meth head girls I could just go to the Wal Mart in my hometown at midnight on any random Tuesday.<br /><br />Favorite: Russell Edgington<br />I understand that he is evil and needs to die but damn this guy is funny! He is such an interesting and entertaining character. This scene is one of the best moments on the so far.<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LiJuYSB8F6M?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LiJuYSB8F6M?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Favorite: Eric and Talbot<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=TB55-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/TB55-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />If you are a fan of the show and you don't like Eric just give up and become a Twihard! This gay sex scene shows how far Eric is willing to do to get revenge for the death of his family. SPOILER ALERT: Russell's killed Eric's family 1,000 years ago. Gays rejoice! It's about time we got some gay sex on TV!<br /><br />Favorite: Lorena<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=TB003-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/TB003-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />We got to know her in Season 2 as Bill's evil and possessive maker. This Season she met as they say on the show "the true death" at the hands of Sookie and Bill. It was time for her to go but I personally thought she was a great character. She also would show up when you least expected and when you saw her you thought "Oh shit!" but it was a good "Oh shit!" We will miss you Lorena!<br /><br />Least Favorite: Bill<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=True9010.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/True9010.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />I am about sick of him. He lied to Sookie and sexually choked her (even though she liked it). I don't think that Sookie and Bill will end up together. He is an important character and you need him on the show. I think he does love Sookie After all that happened this season he just too shady for Sookie to trust again. NOTE: Sookie get with Eric... NOW!!! Which brings me to my next favorite moment.<br /><br />Eric and Sookie's real kiss<br />Finally! We all saw this coming from the start. Team Eric!<br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/30-NBhVJnQk?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/30-NBhVJnQk?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Favorite: Werewolves<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5jzD3uVjqJtbOHSnama8qeL98uwwWsbuzZrc487TYCYles_kXLjbf1VcVNCoicZ5dF4QFVHTVp2xH2DumPZdCibOuH_NYQfkWocdcqGMdUqCoVcDlu5A2w-P4Wu6sGst7B0s200H4SDpA/s1600/blood1new.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5jzD3uVjqJtbOHSnama8qeL98uwwWsbuzZrc487TYCYles_kXLjbf1VcVNCoicZ5dF4QFVHTVp2xH2DumPZdCibOuH_NYQfkWocdcqGMdUqCoVcDlu5A2w-P4Wu6sGst7B0s200H4SDpA/s200/blood1new.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511747677672847954" border="0" /></a><br />These are not CGI wolves these are the real deal.

Weird Kentucky is a very informative and interesting read. It covers everything from odd attractions, urban legends, local heroes and villains, UFOs, and one of my favorite subjects cryptozoology. For those who don't know, Kentucky is a jacked up, scary little place! The word Kentucky actually means <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">"dark and bloody ground or cursed ground"</span> (insert obnoxious font color for effect here!). The first group of natives who settled in Kentucky left because they felt that it was cursed and living there would bring them back luck. Thanks to Daniel and Squire Boone for braving the curse!<br /><br />I have not finished the book yet but here are some of my favorite facts/anecdotes from the book so far....<br /><ul><li>Kentucky was almost called Transylvania. (Bummer, right?) When Kentucky was first settled a section of it was called Transylvania which actually means "across the forest". Transylvania University is in Lexington and several of my friends went there. According to the book, the university's lawyers had to send a letter to several companies who were making vampire themed Transylvania University shirts to inform them that it was in fact a real college.<br /></li><li>Roman coins have been found all over the state. Did Caesar visit Kentucky?<br /></li><li>Redheaded mummies have been discovered in several Kentucky caves including Mammoth Cave. These are most likely Vikings. My ancestors perhaps? </li><li>There are secret underground tunnels in Lexington that were also filled with redheaded mummies. The caverns are much like the catacombs in Paris and Rome. They also included hundreds of human skulls and human sacrifice artifacts. My sweet little city sure has a shady past!<br /></li><li>In the 1830s, a cholera epidemic killed thousands of people in Lexington and Main Street was lined with their corpses. Sweet!<br /></li><li>There have been many Bigfoot sightings in Kentucky. I think Bigfoot would like it here. There are plenty of caves and woods for him to wonder around in.<br /></li><li>Kentucky houses a Dummy Museum and the Creation Museum. Creepy.<br /></li><li>Charles Manson was from Kentucky. Again, creepy!<br /></li><li>And much, much more!<br /></li></ul>Kentucky isn't all bourbon, derbies, and fried poultry!

So blow me, Flickr!). Not only do I love Carole Lombard, this is a great picture!<br /><br />Bath and Body Works Halloween Hand Sanitizer<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=4404645&cp=4213376">Not only are these little guys cute they smell amazing and well get your happy ass into the Halloween spirit!</a> You also need the glow-in-the-dark holder! Yes, I realize that it is August. This time of year is when the first round of Halloween goodies appear in stores. Of course I jump right on this and go crazy. I am still waiting on that fake spiderweb....<br /><br />Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<br /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/?action=view&current=zombie.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/zombie.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />I bought this book and matching journal a few days ago. I haven't started reading it yet but I plan to soon when I finish<a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/KathyGriffin?ref=ts"> Kathy Griffin's</a> book which is amazing. I have heard good things about this book and I think that I will thoroughly enjoy it.

From across the pond to my home state of Kentucky, </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" > I am lucky enough to have been to some great places. Here just a few of my favorites and some that stand out.<br /><br />Topsail Island, North Carolina<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluekygirl/4886715134/" title="pier small by BlueKyGirl2010, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4886715134_7fa10aae64_m.jpg" alt="pier small" width="240" height="180" /></a><br />I used to visit this tiny island off the Atlantic Coast with my dad when I was around 11-13 years old. This is not my favorite beach but it always stuck out to me because of it's history. In the 1700's, pirates used to hide on this island and attack merchant ships coming to the American Colonies. It is believed that Blackbeard's Treasure is buried somewhere along the North Carolina Coast. The name Topsail came from the merchants who could see the top of the sails of the pirate ships. The island was not fully settled until the 1940s. It is still scarcely populated and honestly not the most exciting place on the planet but it is very pretty. I have not been to Topsail Island since I was 13. I would love to go back and see how it has changed.<br /><br />The Winchester Mystery House<br />San Jose, California<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluekygirl/4886168891/" title="324 by BlueKyGirl2010, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4115/4886168891_12d220905e_m.jpg" alt="324" width="240" height="180" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluekygirl/4886771210/" title="f5d17139 by BlueKyGirl2010, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4886771210_76aea97f6b_m.jpg" alt="f5d17139" width="240" height="176" /></a><br />I love this place! Every time it is mentioned on one of those haunted shows I am glued to the TV. I went there with my grandmother and some cousins when I was 12. This place is just too weird not to love. As a fan of all things weird and creepy I am so there! It was built by Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester rifle fortune.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >There are many different versions of the Winchester Mystery House story but this is the one I remember. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> After her husband and daughter died, Sarah contacted a medium who told her that the Winchester family was cursed because the guns had killed so many people and that their spirits wanted revenge and that she should to build a house and if she was to stop building it then she too would die. She had round the clock building on the house from 1884 to 1922. The house contains doors that go nowhere, blank windows, and many more oddities. It is supposedly haunted and is a great piece of Victorian architecture.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Blarney Castle outside of Cork, Ireland</span><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluekygirl/4886095747/" title="Blarney Castle by BlueKyGirl2010, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4098/4886095747_a4f5825ffd_m.jpg" alt="Blarney Castle" width="158" height="240" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;">(I actually took this picture!)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I kissed the Blarney Stone in 2006.

Whenever someone visits Kentucky for the first time it is mandatory to take them this cave. Mammoth Cave is well, freakin' mammoth! It is the longest cave system in the world. It is over 367 miles long with new parts discovered every year. There are several famous features of the cave system including the Grand Avenue and Fat Man's Misery. A part of the Green River also runs through the cave. The cave is also home to the endangered Albino Kentucky Cave Shrimp. This cave is huge so I am just going to stop.

It was a huge bomb. For starters, it was trying to rival <span style="font-style: italic;">Gone with the Wind</span> by attempting to be the greatest Civil War romance movie ever made (EPIC FAIL!).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0j2P3L9_I38sDEXRwDQdxK3KQvlploTGsSCypMCU8hA4TIKMDxUOYU3iA7YdlZBSo5CvGr2-UcSoEPCe7AxZauOYTLlXBWg7zKPLyeoF3WxI7JkrkTCFVF-fL_V7Rp5HVUK6UAphlxRaH/s1600/Raintree+County1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0j2P3L9_I38sDEXRwDQdxK3KQvlploTGsSCypMCU8hA4TIKMDxUOYU3iA7YdlZBSo5CvGr2-UcSoEPCe7AxZauOYTLlXBWg7zKPLyeoF3WxI7JkrkTCFVF-fL_V7Rp5HVUK6UAphlxRaH/s320/Raintree+County1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501640995547793346" border="0" /></a><br />At the time it also held the record for being the most expense movie ever made which MGM bragged about during it's production. The film stars Elizabeth Taylor as Susanna Drake, a overly dramatic Southern Belle from New Orleans who manipulates Northern poet John Shawnessey (Montgomery Clift) into marrying her and leaves behind is true love Nell (Eva Maria Saint). The rest of the film is North vs South and John trying to figure out Susanna's past (SPOILER ALERT: She is nuts!) The rest of the story is a love triangle between Susanna, John, and Nell which sounds a little like another big budget Civil War romance from about 20 years before this one, doesn't it? :)<br />I do have a special place in my heart for this film because my grandfather was an extra in it and half of it was shot in my home state of Kentucky. The other half was shot in Natchez, Mississippi. I have been to some of the locations where it was shot. Including the Rhodes House in Danville, KY. I could not find a picture of it but it is Eva Marie Saint's house in the movie. I have also been to the Liberty Hall historic site in Danville which served as another location in the film.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGQGn1Zwot3gneP6OO7kcdF9WgGMAw7XT9QoD9XNc8qXO5ie-MnMJrsAq2Pmd_X_dkkUJJsAiAVQFJPCJDcpP2oCnNnndfkXe3UJquu7vBMXEK6_pnptFr1xBxpEzJg16qaVqyGguBWUtK/s1600/LH+Exterior+May+2010.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGQGn1Zwot3gneP6OO7kcdF9WgGMAw7XT9QoD9XNc8qXO5ie-MnMJrsAq2Pmd_X_dkkUJJsAiAVQFJPCJDcpP2oCnNnndfkXe3UJquu7vBMXEK6_pnptFr1xBxpEzJg16qaVqyGguBWUtK/s320/LH+Exterior+May+2010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501644748211860434" border="0" /></a><br />The historic town set is also at the Pioneer Playhouse in Danville. You can actually walk through the set which has pretty much turned into a antique mall and something to do while you wait for plays to start.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKbf3MzDxVYUs0go8rrivTSXxYhz54ldVMLoiK6hY7fAHSgtvkKvtjHbutOVX-Ws5MrOzg_zavS4O_IAiW_L6kXJrZ9QeIgq1mgp8QIzI23cayVluuAoAuDWKtVemwb_diensbOF06wN05/s1600/PioneerPlayhouse.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKbf3MzDxVYUs0go8rrivTSXxYhz54ldVMLoiK6hY7fAHSgtvkKvtjHbutOVX-Ws5MrOzg_zavS4O_IAiW_L6kXJrZ9QeIgq1mgp8QIzI23cayVluuAoAuDWKtVemwb_diensbOF06wN05/s320/PioneerPlayhouse.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501650322874769042" border="0" /></a><br />All of these locations are easily recognizable in the film.<br />My grandad was back from the Korean War and he needed money and having been in some plays in college he was cast in the film as a Union solider who gets shot. He has told me many stories about being in the film....<br />The first thing my grandad told me about this movie was that he was shocked at how time consuming making a movie is. He also said that he watched Lee Marvin and Montgomery Clift's do 27 takes of a scene where Lee Marvin slams a door in Montgomery Clift's face. The stars and director of the film stayed at the historic Old Crow Inn while filming in Danville which I think was also used as a location in the film.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwz5NghjvMqPYlPVuOgsqdcDJGs8dPd1bJfikYdzbxDWaJdfom9UfOSd92XCixYMA1vxgz-py1CAheh7CMjcnohFfYBpxyaGFjUUNnVzFA9sptzOL8efgHjbpipHWc8NkMMbD5nqB76gzD/s1600/Old+Crow+Inn+4-24-6+01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 184px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwz5NghjvMqPYlPVuOgsqdcDJGs8dPd1bJfikYdzbxDWaJdfom9UfOSd92XCixYMA1vxgz-py1CAheh7CMjcnohFfYBpxyaGFjUUNnVzFA9sptzOL8efgHjbpipHWc8NkMMbD5nqB76gzD/s320/Old+Crow+Inn+4-24-6+01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501645539728238290" border="0" /></a><br />There was also a night when Montgomery Clift, Lee Marvin, and Rod Taylor (who co-stars) got really drunk and walked down the road naked. I love it! He said that Eva Maria Saint was very nice and talked to him for awhile one day between takes. Between shots another day, Montgomery Clift was standing above the set on a ladder dumped a bucket of water on Elizabeth Taylor. I am sure she was not pleased. He saw Elizabeth Taylor a few times and said that she was very beautiful but extremely short.<br />During a shooting break is when Montgomery Clift had the car wreck while leaving Elizabeth Taylor's house which left half of his face paralyzed and caused some of his teeth to get lodged in his throat. Elizabeth Taylor heard the car wreck and promptly pulled the teeth out of this throat.

He likes to talk about it a lot which is good because I always love to hear his stories.<br />While this movie is not a great movie, the plot is a little ridiculous, and in some scenes it's a little cheesy. It has great location shots, wonderful costumes, and all of the actors have a great Southern accents (I know because I have one). I am pretty sure this movie is out of print and very hard to come across but occasionally it will show on Turner Classic Movies.

READ AND EAT AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. <br />Ice cream is never a bad thing. I am a huge life-long ice cream addict. I eat it at least twice a week during the summer (usually from my freezer but occasionally I will go out). Since we are in dog days of summer and I live in Kentucky which has to be one of the most humid places on the planet ice cream has been even better the past few weeks. <br />I love all kinds, flavors, and brands of ice cream. I tend to gravitate towards the chocolate flavors. Last week my boyfriend Cory and I decided to take a trip to our local Coldstone Creamery. I went there last month and gave myself a total sugar buzz and stomach ache on some custom peanut butter chocolate creation which included Reese Cups and pie crust. It was amazing. Needless to say, the next day I added a few extra minutes on to my cardio. Last week we decided to go after my sweet tooth started nagging me. Cory is not a big sweet eater so he was not as happy as I was to walk in and smell the fresh waffle cones. Usually I make up my own creation. After much debate and a few taste test fails I finally decided on their creation of Birthcake Remix. This included cake batter ice cream, a whole brownie, rainbow sprinkles (my personal favorite) and chocolate syrup. It was delicious. And those ice cream cupcakes look like heaven! Of course you can not buy just one. You have to buy six! Note: This will not stop me from buying them someday.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN0A6qWZ_-9UhNK9fH7Z3l3OcVdOrcTszylZ_MZo5iG1mRoDmPxmnxDxtjkVEN-2TztijpY0sAIexpZN1fnwcSdAPFgM0SBaHnEUKlHPUpFCH14DFVl02CuqFwACJFXpxG9fYK8eObdHY9/s1600/Ice+Cream+Cupcake.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN0A6qWZ_-9UhNK9fH7Z3l3OcVdOrcTszylZ_MZo5iG1mRoDmPxmnxDxtjkVEN-2TztijpY0sAIexpZN1fnwcSdAPFgM0SBaHnEUKlHPUpFCH14DFVl02CuqFwACJFXpxG9fYK8eObdHY9/s320/Ice+Cream+Cupcake.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497662931090737666" /></a><br />About 10 minutes after eating it I wanted to toss my cookies and then some. When I got back to my apartment I licked some salt off my hand in tequila shot-style fashion to counteract the sweetness. Classy, I know. I then thought "do you really need all this extra crap to make ice cream taste better?" The answer is no. Sometimes it sure does help. I think I can do a few months without a visit to the Coldstone. Will I go back? You bet your ass I will!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-84375683646899473962010-07-17T17:16:00.003-04:002010-07-17T19:01:43.068-04:00Werewolves of SummerAccording to my recent movie choices I have discovered something new about myself. Apparently I like werewolves. I know my last blog was about the nonexistence of vampires and a brief rant about a certain "toy". I have a fascination with the mystical, paranormal, and spooky things (I was born on Halloween so I can't exactly help it!) and as a result I like to talk/write about them. I have never been as enthusiastic about werewolves as I have other monsters until now. I always thought that they were a little lame. I guess growing up with a wolfish looking dog who I have seen kill smaller animals multiple times makes you immune to things like that. Enough with the chit chat, let's talk about some silver screen lycanthropy! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/WolfMan.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 316px;" src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/WolfMan.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />The first werewolf movie I saw this summer was <span style="font-style:italic;">Ginger Snaps</span>. Made in 2000 in Canada this movie is now a cult classic. I remember it being on the shelves of the Blockbuster were I worked for 3 years and I am sorry that I never watched it until now. The movie follows two death obsessed teenage sisters (Ginger and Bridgette) who take mock crime scene photos and are outcasts at school. On the night of her first period Ginger gets bitten by a werewolf and slowly starts transforming into a bloodthirsty werewolf. While Bridgette tries to control her, Ginger mistakenly thinks her new primal urges are for sex but instead discovers she only wants to tear things to pieces. This film is funny, gory, hip, part horror movie, part chick flick and cleverly uses transforming into a werewolf as a metaphor for teenage hell.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/GingerSnapsI04.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 236px;" src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/GingerSnapsI04.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />The second werewolf movie I watched was <span style="font-style:italic;">The Wolfman</span>. Usually I stay away from remakes of any kind but this one was different. And by different I mean actually good. This version takes the 1941 Universal classic and gives it a modern day twist with some great gore effects. You can't beat the classic Universal monsters but this movie did it's best and honestly did entertain me. For starters I love Emily Blunt. Not because we share the same first name, I love her because she is talented and that girl is in line for an Oscar someday! Plus she can play both dramatic and comedic roles and be equally as good in either of them which is very rare. Emily Blunt reminds me of Vivien Leigh which is another reason why I like her so much. Who doesn't love Anthony Hopkins? It's Hannibal, for cryin' out loud!! Benicio Del Torro also did a great job. This version was not entirely true to the original script but keeps some of the same elements such as the character names. I loved this movie because I have a thing for movies set in 19th century London. With the dreary weather, fog, foreboding architecture, and buzz of Jack the Ripper 19th century London is the perfect location for a horror film. I know this movie is not destined to be a classic but I think that it will be a good one to watch at Halloween. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/the_wolfman_Benicio_Del_Toro_Emily_.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 598px; height: 324px;" src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/ebw31/the_wolfman_Benicio_Del_Toro_Emily_.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-18921192069004407062010-07-08T11:51:00.006-04:002010-07-08T12:33:24.228-04:00Not for the faint of heartThis is something that recently heard about and I think it deserves a blog. This is not a joke and it's a good thing that I went ahead and posted an adult content warning on my blog just in case I offend anyone (which I often do). There is now a Twilight dildo. What is that you say?? <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/akdobbins/twilight-dildo">Yes, you sexually repressed Edward <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lovin</span>' freaks there is a Twilight dildo available on the market. </a>Don't you just love capitalism? Really, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">WTF</span>?!?!? <br />This dildo sparkles and is designed to be kept in the refrigerator so the user has an accurate experience. Whenever I feel something cold down there all I can think about is that dreaded Ky Jelly-filled yearly trip to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">gyno</span>. Plus how do we know that Edward's dick sparkles? Whoever purchases this seriously needs a psych evaluation. Edward Cullen is a fictional character and he will never love you. The sooner these crazed women figure that out the better off society as a whole will be. I have seen the first Twilight movie and Edward is one creepy bloodsucker. I don't think that watching someone while they sleep qualifies as romantic. Edward, just man up and drain Bella already! You know you want to! Listen to that killer instinct, Cullen and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">nom</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">nom</span> on that pasty bitch until dawn.<br />SPOILER ALERT! With that being said, if the producers and directors of the fourth Twilight movie actually show violent, gore filled vampire childbirth I think that's worth going to a matinee and using my student discount for. Plus that scene will take the family friendly aspects of the franchise down several notches.<br /><br />Like these Cullen hounds, I do find Eric and Bill of "True Blood" very sexually appealing, I understand they are fiction. But is Edward really a vampire? Don't think so. The difference between myself, other rational thinking vampire fans, and these horny housewives and teenage girls is that we understand that vampires are not fucking real!! The closest to real vampires we are every going to get are <a href="http://roswell.fortunecity.com/seance/500/killers/family.html">The Kentucky Vampire Clan </a> (bloodsuckers on death row are not so sexy, are they ladies?) and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXipDHHEBwc">Vampire Don</a> who I totally invite to Thanksgiving. Really, I would.<br /><br />So, ladies get a grip (and a room temperature sex toy) and please enjoy vampires responsibly.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-80708434145767853052010-06-30T17:38:00.003-04:002010-06-30T18:56:33.313-04:00YOU WANT THIS CAKE?!?!This has to be the most insane video I have ever seen! Of course I love it! My boyfriend and I are obsessed with it. We blast it at the most inappropriate random times. It is taken from a scene in "The Family Man". Watch the Nicholas Cage wants Cake video and then watch the actual scene from the movie. <br /><br />This shit needs to go viral! <br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5PJddmfesaA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5PJddmfesaA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ByWtvp02v-A&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ByWtvp02v-A&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321597648729960.post-9288166189284167122010-06-27T18:45:00.002-04:002010-06-27T19:19:22.814-04:00I can't think of a good title todayThis is my blog! Lame, I know. I have been a blogger for sometime and have used several blogging services (Live Journal, Myspace, Xanga) By the way, RIP to Xanga and Myspace. I want to see how many people I can find who are as weird as me and who actually want to read about my life. <br />This should be interesting. <br />I am funny and I usually end up seeing and hearing odd things that I will be sure to let everyone hear about. <br />My friend and I will be starting a web series (as soon as I get a new video camera which might be for awhile) called The Kentucky Gay Man's Guide to Life. For those who do not know, the good ol' Bluegrass state has a huge gay population filled with lots of fun people and great things to do and we want to cash in on that and share it with the rest of the world. I know it sounds tedious and faggy but if you only knew.... I have the you tube channel ready to go. It's only a matter of time. My friend Dustin and I really excited about the web series and we have been planning it for several months. <br />I will keep everyone posted on that.<br />Enough ramblings for now. I hope everyone has a great night!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16880686494810951442noreply@blogger.com0
