Music Monday: Spice Girls (!!!)

This Monday needs a pick me up and the only thing that can remedy it is

 ....... a hug from my girlfriends obviously.

I love Spice World.  I wanted a pair of those platforms sooo bad when I was little, I would have worn them everywhere and just would've ate it so bad walking in them.  Thanks mom and dad for saving me from brain damage via obnoxious shoe.

So when my friends and I divided out who would be who (because what little girl didn't do that) I was made Sporty even though I looked more like a Scary and I actually really wanted to be Baby.  What.  Ginger had the better outfits and Posh got to marry David Beckham, what the hell was I thinking.

Beau Date Friday: Benedict Cumberbatch

.... and I'm like

So when I first saw this devilishly handsome man he was like this-

... and I was like what, and let's turn back to Chris Pine (see previous beau date) wink wink.

BUT NOW.  After watching Sherlock and witnessing these precious moments-

I'm in love.

Moral of the story here- hair style, hair color and a good actor changes everything.

BC, you are such a sauce.

Kitty Time

Sometimes I take the long walk home and sometimes I just stop and take pictures like a tourist.  And sometimes it's of adorable kitties.

And then I realized in my stockpile of gifs I also have creepy cat.

Twizzlers

Well Simon, I am not in love with you and I find you the creepiest of creeps.  
PS the only way your baby would make it into my uterus would be immaculate conception and even then my body would probably reject it.

Quit. It.

No time better than a Tuesday to find out your true identity....

via online quiz.

I'm sort of alarmed that I have such a low Gryffindor and such a high Slytherin.  Does this mean I'm extra sly or just a little snot like Draco?

PS I hate being such a Hufflepuff, all they are are nice... UGH.

I'm all good with this (see the Don't Knock It Till You Try It Tuesday Classics Edition).  AND I get Mr. Darcy win win win.

Music Monday- The Ceremonies "Land of Gathering"

The music video is a little bit awkward turtle to watch, but the song is awesome.  

I understand what this is trying to do- 
*show how attractive/stylishly dressed the guys are
*show how street walking eludes to possible bad boy-ness (but not really not because they don't really get into any fights and aren't chain smoking)
*show how cutting edge and new sound but nostalgic old sound they are

Also all of this talk-singing.  Singing but trying to look like they are talking.  This seems like more of a belty song.  You can't pretend you are just saying this song.

The video is missing something.  Then I read a small snippet about them in V Magazine and I got it.  They're from LA, but are trying to be hipster Brooklyn Williamsburg, except they are walking around Manhattan and Central Park.  No wonder its confusing!  

PS The lyrics on screen are cool and the black and white definitely saves it from going completely downhill.

PPS I do like this song and have it on repeat repeat repeat!  Don't get me wrong, they're close.  Next video guys.    

Beau Date Friday: Jarrod Scott

I have seen this man in New York.  As you can probably imagine I sort of froze with my mouth open as he walked by with the sunlight haloing his his perfect hair.  It took me awhile to collect myself and actually walk to the side of the sidewalk so I wouldn't get run over and process what actually happened.  And.  To make matters worse (most arguably better) it happened again the next week.  He must have been in town for a shoot or something, but either way, come back!  

This week's mantra on repeat...

Who doesn't want to run around in a cute dress with a cute haircut on a grassy field jumping rope on a clear day?

Cause I want to.  Moving is the pits.

Things I Want...

Why oh why is this not on Etsy anymore?!  This is the cutest.   

Music Monday: Lorde "The Love Club" and "Royals"

UGH she's only 16 and beautiful.  Who's feeling under accomplished?  Maybe she snores or has hideous feet or something.

PS what's up with this video?  She's got great hair and makeup and all, but the video is 

bo-ring.  

Beau Date Friday: Douglas Booth

Yeah yeah yeah I guess this is cradle robbing edition #2.  He's like 19.... I mean 21.... model turned actor.  Whatever.  Sorry.  Did you see him in Great Expectations?  I mean let's be serious, he's sort of too pretty for Beau Date Friday/the world in general, but exceptions can be made for Expectations.  Har har har.  He's also going to be Romeo opposite Chuck Bass' (I mean whats his name) Tybalt and set to play Noah.  Like the Noah from the Bible.  This should be interesting...

What is the world coming to.....

MAKE IT STOP.  

Small rant accompanying photo: Ladies.  Team gear is NOT for your tiny backpack, your latte and tiny flower printed skirt, NOT for going to outdoor lunches on your first date with arm bracelets up the wazoo and MC Hammer pants, NOT to be put in an ensemble involving a wanna be Chanel jacket and pencil skirt (baseball cap, purse, skirt and Giants lettering all matching?  NO), and NOT wherever you are going with your tiny dog.  STOP IT.  Team gear is for sitting on your couch watching the game with your friends or at a (duh) stadium.

UGH.

Twizzlers

The cutest.

Music Monday: Tegan and Sara "Closer"

I used to be really into them back in college, then got over it and found them a bit whinny for awhile.  Now I take it all back- this song rocks.  

PS their interview on Into The Gloss also rocks, read here.
