We'll Always Have Paris...

Oh, how I long to be in Paris...

I was supposed to go this summer by myself, but chances of that are not looking so good. I still haven't got my passport renewed, and I heard the process takes a looooooooong time. I've got nothing to do this summer, and my only hope was to be in Paris, the city of lights. I want to see my family in France, I want to go on adventures (sorry if that sounds like fromage...). I want to get out of here! I'm tired of this place I'm in and the people around me. I want to escape and live a little! And now, because of my laziness, I won't go. I'm stuck in suburbia, all alone. That will be something I'll learn and keep in the back of my mind. Being lazy gives you nothing! *weeps* Je't aime, Paris!

Sex is Back in the City!!!

Time to break in those Manolos again! The girls are back, and I can't be any more excited for it!!

The long-awaited Sex and the City movie is going to begin shooting this fall. All four original leading ladies will reprise their roles as Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and last but certainly not least, Samantha (Kim Cattrall).

The idea of a SatC movie came about right after the end of the series, however there was some conflictions having to do with Cattrall. The actress axed plans of the production after some salary issues. But rest assured, she is signed on to do the movie with a deal including a better salary and a future deal with HBO, according to the Daily Variety. The movie will be directed by the original serie's director Michael Patrick King.

When I first heard of this news, I was so estatic! After watching reruns on syndication throughout the year, I am way excited for some new material from our ladies of Manhattan. Hopefully the movie will live up to the show!

If you're like me and can't wait til next year when the movie comes out, just pick up the Sex and the City DVD set. Six seasons of heaven! I'm telling you, this show is like the Bible for women. If you have never seen it, check it out! Invite all your girl friends and watch it all together. It's a great bonding activity. ;]

Yeah...these are too awesome. =] Eeee!

[[Music of the Moment]]LILY ALLEN

Sure, she might seem like she has a tough exterior, but you can't deny the props needed to be given to her. Allen does not take shit from no one, and refuses to follow the trail of ass kissers in the business. Her refreshing insight on celebritydom and her in-your-face lyrics make her relatable and fun to watch. She is willing to be different than all the other 'it' starlets of our time, and she could not care less. Called a bitch by some, though I really admire her. I find it so admirable that she can put her foot down and speak her mind, not caring about the people listening. Not to mention, her music is so catchy and I'm sure, the topics covered can be understood by many listeners. From enjoying revenge on an ex-lover to the decieving streets of London, and even her THC-experimenting brother, she is ruthless and proud of it. I'm telling you, I cannot stop listening to this girl! Her music's so damn catchy, and sure to make my day happier, and make me smile. ;]


Here is my Alright, Still Top 3:

1) Smile -- Of course, the infamous song that exploded the charts! It may seem mundane that I picked this song, because, after all, doesn't everyone know this song? Well, it may be, but this hit single struck a high note for me. It's rhythms so entrancing and lyrics that seem nonchalant make this an awesome song. I'm constantly singing this song!

2) LDN -- Again, I know it's another hit single. But you can't help but love it! The ska/calypso beats are so welcoming and bright. However, underneath the upbeat tempo and high trumpets are not-so-bright details about London town. Only makes me like it more!

3) Everything's Just Wonderful -- Very first Lily Allen song I heard. I remember hearing this on the radio and thinking, 'oh my God, who is this?' and when I found out it was Lily Allen, I figured I'd have another taste. Like the other Lily songs, it's upbeat and 'happy', but the song describes insecurities and problems that are rummaging through Ms. Allen's mind. Definitely a song I can relate to!




Don't be fooled by the hate of many norms and celebrities alike, there is much love for Ms. Allen. Her debut album, Alright Still, was released in the U.K. in July 2006, landing at an impressive #2 on the charts. The popular album was then later on released in January 2007 in the U.S., coming in the Billboard charts at a respectable #20. Her fan base kept growing and growing, thanks to a little website called MySpace. While waiting for her album to be released, Allen created a MySpace account and posted some of her demos. Thousands of listeners listened to her tunes, creating a new wave of fame for Lily.



This Londoner also has a great sense of style, I must say! Although some can call her a chav, I think it's just simply London street scene. From tennis shoes coordinated with flowy sundresses to those classic gold door knocker hoops, her style is original yet classic all at once. The rave/boho feel is refreshing and darling, unlike the 'juicy couture' hogs like Lohan and Paris. I absolutely love this girl's fashion sense, and I could totally see her as one of the new fashion icons of our generation. And it is definitely not going unnoticed! She is going to come out with her very own fashion line called Lily Loves, due to come out sometime soon this year. I can't wait to get my hands on those vintage-inspired dresses I'm expecting to see!

Happy 4th!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Fourth of July that is full of fun! While you are gulping down some hotdogs and sipping some lemonade, lounge around in style with your family and friends!

An Evening with some very talented ladies

In the midst of 'three'quels and action flicks coming out in theaters this summer, one low-key movie that has stuck out to me is 'Evening', a movie directed by Lajos Koltai based on the novel by Susan Minot, the mind that gave you 'The Hours'. After repeatedly seeing the adverts on the telly, I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to see this film because of the amazing cast or the intriguing plot. All the women casted in this movie are some of the greatest actresses, including Meryl Streep. I could sit here for an hour trying to concoct a summary for you, but I found one lengthy and understandable enough on imdb.com:

Evening is a deeply emotional film that illuminates the timeless love which binds mother and daughter -- seen through the prism of one mother's life as it crests with optimism, navigates a turning point, and ebbs to its close. Two pairs of real-life mothers and daughters -- Vanessa Redgrave and Natasha Richardson, and Meryl Streep and Mamie Gummer -- portray, respectively, a mother and her daughter and the mother's best friend at different stages in life. Overcome by the power of memory, Ann Lord (Vanessa Redgrave) reveals a long-held secret to her concerned daughters; Constance (Natasha Richardson), a content wife and mother, and Nina (Toni Collette), a restless single woman. Both are bedside when Ann calls out for the man she loved more than any other. But who is this "Harris," wonder her daughters, and what is he to our mother? While Constance and Nina try to take stock of Ann's life and their own lives, their mother is tended to by a night nurse (Eileen Atkins) as she journeys in her mind back to a summer weekend some fifty years before, when she was Ann Grant (Claire Danes), a young woman who has come from New York City to be maid of honor at the high-society Newport wedding of her dearest friend from college, Lila Wittenborn (Mamie Gummer). The bride-to-be is jittery, and turns to her maid of honor rather than her own mother (Glenn Close) for support. Ann stays close to her friend, yet is even closer to Lila's irrepressible brother Buddy (Hugh Dancy). Unexpected feelings surge forth once Ann meets wedding guest Harris Arden (Patrick Wilson), a lifelong friend and intimate of the Wittenborn family. Ann's love for Harris will change her life, and those of her daughters, forever.

Seems very interesting, doesn't it? Well, unless you don't appreciate the art of beautiful cinema. Don't worry. You are not the only one, I'm sure. I hope to see this movie sometime this week. If not, I suppose I could wait til it comes out on DVD.

Don't worry, I'm still alive.

Yeah...the last time I blogged was in November. Wow, school does get in the way of things.

Well it's summer now, time is handed to me on a platter. I'm back and back with a vengance! More blogging is coming...I hope.
