Just so you know

I always had style.

via 1992.

Ramen Girl

Sure, this is a different kind of movie to be putting out there, but maybe that’s why I would like to see it…plus, I love BM, and anything I could learn about another culture is intriguing to me.

I dunno…just looks like a feel good movie, ya know? Who wants to see it with me?

Heavenly Hathaway

And to think I used to strongly dislike this actress! Shame on me! Look at how gorgeous she has become. Like an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan, she’s a real princess in her own fairytale. Anne Hathaway just looks more and more stunning everytime I see her. Cojo (from Access Hollywood?) may be right, she almost resembles a new age Audrey Hepburn…do you agree?

Fanning Fan

I believe I’ve said this once before, but I am such a fan of Dakota Fanning. I’m not sure if it’s cause she’s so darn cute or if it’s because she’s an amazing actress for her age. Well, she’s not exactly “cute” anymore…she’s blossoming into this beautiful young girl (gawd, “blossoming” is such an awful term that reminds me of those pamphlets they handed out in the 6th grade about getting your period and turning into a “woman”…sorry, Dakota), but seriously, how gorgeous does she look? She’s so naturally pretty. I hope her ever-growing, rising fame doesn’t ruin what good she’s got going cause this girl is going to continue to get work…and lots of it. I love love love her. Yay, Dakota!

Secondhand Serenade

No, not John Vesely (though I am a fan)…this lovely chandelier made out of second-hand jewelry. It’s so gorgeous and would totally go on my wish list for my dream home. Not only is it a whimsical piece, it would probably give off the most romantic lighting with (I’m sure) just the right touch of sparkle.

PS…I do believe that is a unicorn I spot, no? Either that or it’s a horse (obvs to me…it is most definitely a unicorn).

Hi, my name is Jiscilla, and I am a blog-a-holic

Developing in or around the early 2000s (quite possibly even the later 1990s), it began as a rare, but serious disease . Today, it is found quite common, however still just as serious.

I seriously spend too much time reading other people’s blogs, but I can fully blame that on Google Reader for making it so dang easy. Seeing as there’s a million blogs I love and for all different reason, I wanna start trying to showcase them, so I can spread the love. I will start this with Never Slap The Gift Donkey.

NSTGD always provides unique and entertaining posts, though I’m not really sure what the ideal subject is. All this time I thought it was a dude writing (it’s not)…but whatever, Kayne reads her blog, and so do I.

She’s supposedly from Virginia Beach and her post on that makes me want to join a band so bad just so I can tour and see all the unique places of the world. Ok, maybe Virginia Beach isn’t the most unique place, but it does have a restaurant called The Jewish Mother just a couple miles west of it which I’d like to visit (no, I’m not jewish).

Essentially what got me to recommend this blog (besides the name) was this post about “6 useless me-facts”. I loved her #2 about how she removes the white umbilical-cord-looking thing when cooking/baking eggs…but then I got to #5, and I wished I had thought this instead of her:

“As a child, I thought the small chicken pox scar in the center of my forehead was where my unicorn-horn used to be.”

But then I thought this would be impossible since I obviously still have mine.

Anyways, Never Slap The Gift Donkey.

The Real World: Brooklyn

I’m writing now to talk about The Real World: Brooklyn that just aired for the first time tonight. I can honestly say I stopped watching The Real World when I started noticing the cast members getting younger (basically meaning that I was the one getting older and the cast members were staying the same age), but this season I plan to tune in.

Earlier this summer I made an agreement with the MTV production crew not to post any pictures nor write about any experiences I might have with any of the castmates, due to the fact that they filmed weekly at Angels & Kings (where I take pictures for nightlife photos) until the season aired. Well, I’m not really here dish out any gossip cause quite frankly, I don’t have any (that and I like to keep it to a minimum here). I only know the cast from interacting with them at Trainwreck, and as far as I know, they all seem really cool. I remember talking to my friends, wondering about how this season would pan out on tv because they all seemed to get along so well. They all seemed really nice; they all seemed normal. I never saw any fights or anything really devious.

Seeing some of the previews of episodes to come got me a little nervous, cause I really don’t want to see them fight or get in arguments. I know it’s only natural, but I’m not the kind of person that loves to see a quarrel. I want everyone to be happy.

Anyways, as for the cameras invading our tiny little space in Manhattan, you can only imagine what it was like. Truly, cameras are at AK all the time, so it’s not like it’s something new, but somehow you got your regulars that acted pretty damn annoyed by them. The only thing I have to say about that is, come on! Everyone acted annoyed, but you know they secretly tried to get on camera any chance they got. Also, you’ll notice whatever side of the bar the cameras went, so did the majority of the crowd. I don’t necessarily get it because even if you do get on camera for a minute or two, no one will recognize it or remember you even a day later. I don’t know, I suppose I’m just venting.

In case you didn’t already know, though, Baya had joined the Trainwreck team of Dagger and Rob Hitt, DJing weekly for Trainwreck. She quickly fit into the mix, and she was the first of the cast I met. I absolutely thought she was ADORABLE (and totally my height!). I didn’t find out until later, her reason for wanting to come to New York was to dance. Shoot, that makes me like her ten times more! I can’t wait to see how that goes for her in episodes to come.

As for the other castmates, I enjoyed Scott & Chet the most from a personal standpoint. They were always at Trainwreck and totally friendly. Mr. muscle-man Scott was not nearly what I expected (having a different kind of experience with dudes as big as him), but the guy is super super nice.

Chet is absolutely cool, too, but I hate how people kept knocking on his style in tonight’s episode and in the aftershow. Personally, I love it. What can I say, I’m into dudes who wear skinny jeans and brightly colored shoes. The only style I like to put down is style that has no style (does that make any sense at all?).

Whatever, on to JD…I know he’s gay and all, but I have to say I almost have a minz crush on him. I don’t know what it is because he’s much more boisterous than I am, but I think I just always tend to like the gay guys. Oh well.

Now, moving on to Katelyn, I will honestly say I had NO IDEA she was transgender until after they stopped filming and someone told me. I’ve never talked to her…I just never noticed. I hope people don’t make out her gender change into a big huge issue. I think what she had done is an awesome thing. If it’s what makes her feel happy and most comfortable in her own body…I’m all for it. As for the other 2 girls on the show, Sarah and Devon…I really didn’t talk to them this summer at all, either, but I definitely thought Sarah was cute and reminded me so much of my friend Anne Marie from Nashville. Then, lastly, there’s Ryan. Ummmm, I don’t ever recall seeing him! Am I blind? I had no idea there was another castmate. Maybe I met him, I dunno, I just don’t remember ever seeing him out. Can anybody fill me in on this?

But, yea, that’s my rundown on the show and the cast. I hope this season turns out the best, but for all good reasons. I love New York, so I hope they represent well.

What did you think of tonight’s episode? Do you have any expectations for this season?
