A New Fanaticism, Freebies and WTF Suri?

Hey all,

Yes, yes it's been months. I'm sorry, but absence makes the heart grow fonder...or...something like that.

In the time that I've been not blogging for my non-existent readers, I've been working and in the time I've not been working I've been getting addicted to a few new shows. Sex and the City (which really started last summer when L from the Del had a few seasons), Gossip Girl (I love the clothes and actually prefer it to the books), Chuck (adorable super-powered nerd anyone?) and finally...True Blood. I'm working my way through season two right now and O-M-G. The only negative is that I pretty much have to watch when no one else is around as there is just enough nudity that anyone who walked in the room at the wrong moment would probably be like WTF are you watching and that could get awkward. Same holds true for SatC, but I'm not supposed to be watching that anyways apparently.

So today I was browsing the Peices of Flair application on Facebook - which is an Office Space reference, which I love - for True Blood flair when I found this:

I love it because it's about Lafayette, promotes True Blood and bashes Twilight*. So, needless to say I added it then I made a DP for MSN and a new desktop background (side-note does anyone call them 'wallpapers' anymore? 'cause I have been and no one seems to know what I'm talking about). So if you want 'em:




















Of course, I mean no copyright infringment, I don't own any of this.

In other news Suri Cruise, in true celebutot fashion, is wearing heels. Or at least she was in Boston. They're not even those fake little plastic Disney Princess ones, which really, aren't supposed to be worn out. They're for dress up. As in put on them and Mommies old dress and feed baby from an invisible bowl of cereal. Now I don't know the first thing about the very-young and fabulous set, but I heard about this through my cousins Facebook. This distubs me for a few reasons. I love heels as much, and maybe more than the next woman (or man. Whatever floats your boat), but I'm 20, not 3. First we'll start with the health issue. It is no secret that high heels are damaging. It has been proven time and time again. There're the obvious blisters and pinched toes, but then there's the long-term damage to knee's and ankles, but we do it anyways because as women that's our perogative. Key word being women. Not toddlers.

Secondly high heels have always been associated with...well sex. Not outright, but have you ever noticed how in those movies where the girl gets made-over she ends up in heels? I mean they make your butt look smaller and force you to walk with a bit of a sexy sway. Would it be ok for a 3-year old to wear a shirt with a promiscious slogan on it (or dress like a Bratz doll)? My final words on the matter? This is wrong and potentially harmful to such a young girl. Love the rest of the outfit though. She really is adorable.


That's all for today, Happy Scrapping ♥


*Disclaimer I loved the book Twilight and somehow, in a bizzare fit of telepathy or foreshadowing or whatever knew that if my sister read it, she would get all obsessive and it would ruin it for me. It's happened before. Well she read it. She loved it and it actually wasn't so bad. Then...everyone else read it. Then everyone elses sister read it. And now it's this media-whoring, pre-teen exploiting, tabloid feeding typhoon of OMG's, squealing and obnoxiousness. just my opinion, if you're a rabid twi-hard (even the name sounds dirty...) please don't hurt me.
