Found: item 1 Hottie MARLON BRANDO

I have discovered a true hottie of a bygone era. Ok, well not discovered, but I didn't really know of him myself. Everyone has heard of Marlon Brando. But do we realize how totally gorgeous he really was? (in his pre-TANGO days) To be completely honest I have yet to view A Streetcar Named Desire. Not from a lack of interest, but a lack of time. There are frankly too many movies that I need to see. But it's on my list.

But the point is, that Marlon Brando is smouldering! (scratch that... "was smouldering") The movie Ultimo tango a parigi was a risky choice, becoming one of the most controversial movies in film history. But Brando's performance is not lacking... his looks however are... enough said.

When it comes to acting, no matter what anyone says, it is NOT all about looks. There are plenty of famously brilliant actors who do not have the typical "movie star" faces.

Back to the subject of Brando, I think he was often miscast. But I have an inkling (although never having seen the Godfather *i know sad*) that he was an amazing mafia Vito Corleone. And Guys and Dolls is another on my list! Musical! Must see how Marlon handles that. I feel like I'm entering the 50's a little too late. Time to play catch up! I was definitely born in the wrong time! Anyway, updates on my Brandothon later!

Rigby Cullen Kifer

As soon as I saw this darling and his beautiful golden eyes I knew he would be mine and I also knew that he had to have some name from twilight. His eyes are the exact color of Meyer's 'good' vampires. I had thought of naming him Edward, but it didn't fit. I am in love with the Beatles so I decided to name him Rigby Cullen... I think it is PERFECT!!!

The Fall: Alexandria

I just watched a movie called The Fall. It was sooo good, I sobbed for like 20 minutes. It takes place in an early 1920s hospital, with Alexandria, a little girl who works at an orange orchard and fell from a ladder while picking oranges. She has a broken arm, but she wanders the hospital as if it is her playground. Overseen by Nurse Evelyn, Alexandria is happy there. Then one day by chance Alexandria meets Roy, an injured stuntman recovering from a radical stunt and a broken heart. And he begins to tell her a story, about bandits and princesses and sword fighting and the movie takes on a whole new element.

I loved this movie, it is now one of my favorites. I've been in love with Lee Pace since Pushing Daises, but to see him in such a moving role was amazing. I would have given him an award for his performance, it was incredible, I just wanted to hug him the entire time.

But the true star of the movie was Catinca Untaru the little girl who played Alexandria. Her emotions were so real and she was so unbelievably cute. You can't help but immediately fall in love with her.

Anyway, if you're looking for something different to watch, you should go for The Fall by director Tarsem Singh. It is so beautiful!

Love for Period Dramas

This is a video I made for YouTube.com of my favorite period dramas... Enjoy!

Happyland

AMANDA JENSSEN

I have discovered an awesome new artist, her name is Amanda Jenssen and she is from Sweden. She was on Swedish Idol in 2007, and she came out with the album "Killing My Darlings" and she has a new single called "Happyland" She has an awesome raspy voice that I'm in love with and she has the cutest sense of style, she reminds me of Katy Perry and Duffy, and Kate Nash all mixed together and SWEDISH!

People should definitely check out her amazing music and her website! http://www.amanda-jenssen.se/ It's all in Swedish, but you can translate it if you want and there is pictures and music as well!

I am already addicted to her songs Amarula Tree and Happyland. Unfortunately I am not sure how to buy her album in the US. But hopefully she will become international soon. She is definitely good enough.

Slither & Hiss: Montgomery Python

My mom has caught a Garden Snake. My puppy Brookie had first discovered it in the stones in our yard. It is kind of creepy but I think it is cute. It's really small. It's tiny, so I think it must be a baby.

We have named him (we are assuming it is a him) Montgomery Python, "Monty" for short. My Mum came up with Python and I came up with Monty, for Monty Python! Yay! John Cleese. (I want to marry 70s Micheal Palin!!) Not only that, but Uncle Monty Montgomery from the Series of Unfortunate Events (favorite books from my recent childhood) was a herpetologist, which is a person who studies (collects) snakes/reptiles. So I thought the name was very fitting.

Anyway, we have decided to keep him! I have the tank and everything from my late green anole, Wilmer. :( So Monty has a new home! I don't know if we'll be able to keep him once he is bigger and we start having to give him frogs and mice. I am a rodent lover and I could never feed one to a snake. A frog maybe! (Frogs are GROSS!) Anyway, I hope we keep him for a while anyway, he's really cute.

It's really fun watching him move. I've never had a snake before or watched them for an extended period of time. My cousins had a garden snake named Heston, but I don't really remember looking at him much.

Now, all I need is my very own puppy and our animal family will be complete: Snake, Monty; Three cats, Bella, Gypsy and Zoe; Dog, Brooklyn; Rat, Nola!! I love all of my animals and I'm very excited about this new edition!

Glittering Emerald Eyes

If you know me, you will know that I have a strange obsession with green eyes. Clive Owen's green peepers drive me wild! There is just something so ethereal and I always picture fairies with dancing green eyes. I've always longed for them!And I think they look beautiful with dark skin tones like mine!

And now I am going to have them! I'm getting contacts next month and I am going to get dark green ones. I am so excited! I'm not sure however which brand to go with. Acuvue or Freshlook? The general opinion is that Acuvue is more comfortable and more subtle. And that Freshlook is more durable and has better color.

As for looking natural, I'm not really worried about that. I have dark skin and dark reddish brown hair (right now), so it probably won't look natural anyway. And brand seems to have people saying they look as natural as possible.

I have almost defiantly decided on Freshlook Colorblend Gemstone Green. There is a girl on YouTube who is almost exactly my skin tone and has very dark brown eyes like me, and they looked amazing on her, so it shows basically what I will look like. And it's only $20 for a months supply, so if I don't like them, I won't be stuck with them forever.

Speaking of which, there is this radical new surgery from newcoloriris.com, where they permanently change your eye color. It's not legal in the US and not FDA approved. I can understand why people would want this, not me, but I get it. But what can they be thinking? Going to Panama? Where they don't speak English and having a quack operate on your eyes for a couple thousand buck. They must be insane! Apparently the color implants, cause glaucoma, cataracts, and eventual blindness. There's only like a 50% chance that you won't go blind. That is WAY to high a risk just for cosmetic reasons. Those people must be crazy.

I'll stick with contacts!! Yay!
