The After Party

Every young girl knows that a dance is split up into three parts. 1) Prep: Getting ready with hair + makeup. 2) The Dance itself. And 3) The After Party. Now I’m not talking about an “after party, after party”, but when its over you hang with your girlfriends and hash over the whole events.

It was just as true 203 years ago as it is today. Yep in Pride and Prejudice after the ball, the girls do what every young girl after a dance does, DISCUSS IT!

So everyone finds the ball a complete success.

Finally something GOOD!

Jane danced with Mr. Bingley twice! Not once but TWICE!!!

If you remember from my earlier post, First Impressions, I discussed how dancing showed you were open to getting married. The women you danced with, showed your interest in them. By dancing with Jane, Mr. Bingley declared to the world that he was most def interested in pursuing Jane. Kind of the equivalent of:

Mary was called one of the most accomplished ladies from the neighborhood.

Now if you remember from my post Parental Favoritism and Just Can’t Get a Break Mary always gets the short end of the stick.

So finally, she is able to get a good word and be appreciated for talents. This is steering her away from having a breakdown and trying to destroy her village. Not everyone is that lucky to be complimented on their talents.

Exhibit A: The Phantom of the Opera

Exhibit B: Queen of Outer Space

Now Kitty never was without a partner. And what 15-year old isn’t pleased with that. Heck, who doesn’t love knowing that they are hot and in demand.

The same goes for Lydia. No wallflower here. Although with Lydia she doesn’t just think she is hot, she thinks she is the best of the best.

And that leaves us with Elizabeth.

Yep poor, poor, Lizzie.

Yeah she didn’t have the best of the night. Yeah Darcy did a real number on her pride. But Lizzie like all great sisters, puts aside her feelings and is all about being happy for Jane.

Besides, Elizabeth knows like any other girl who has had a bad time at a dance. There will be plenty more.

And you may meet a special someone:

Or just have an amazing time with your friends:

Yep, nothing to stress over. Just have fun!

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Thanksgiving is a time set apart so that we can be thankful for all the good things in our lives. It is also time to spend with family and friends. It is a time to eat tons of food as we celebrate. And what says Thanksgiving more than one special treat? Pie!!!

Yep, I love pie!

Yep. Tomorrow I will be stuffing my face.

The things we love are not always good for us:

But who cares, pass the pie!!

And I mean you better give it over:

Don’t forget:

Hope you all have a great day!

How Can This Be?

No joke this just happened the other day and I’m like

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

My friend told me that she hated Star Wars. I just cannot comprehend how that is even possible?

Yeah I don’t understand it either

I convinced her to give the original films a try. After all, if a person doesn’t like Star Wars they can still be your friend. I can’t imagine if that was someone I wanted to date. You don’t like Star Wars? Then see ya!

Or guy in my case

After all:

If your significant other doesn’t understand that simple concept, dump them. There are plenty more out there who understand the finer things in life.

Just A Friendly Reminder

 

So most of the clothes from “2015” are a mix of ’80s wear taken to the extreme mixed with the stuff you would see on Star Trek. And while there are some crazy costumes in here.

They do have some advantages. First of all, the clothes are one size fits all.

Duh!

Now, hold on. I know you’re thinking what’s so special about that? I mean you can buy “one size fits all” anywhere. Well these are different. The clothes are one size and then automatically shrink down or increase in size so that they fit you perfectly.

I know pretty sweet!

This would so fantastic for me. I’m short and pear shaped, so it is extremely difficult to find things that fit just right. If this was real, I’d be first in line to buy it!

They have some other cool features like automatically drying when wet and stuff like that

I wish that was real.

Well chances are that this technology won’t be around next year, but that doesn’t have to stop you from creating your own Back to the Future: Part II inspired wear. I’m definitely going to and I’ll try to post pics!

Check out Back to the Future: Part II for outfit ideas, or just to watch as it is an awesome film!

Peeta Please!

So with the release of Mockingjay Part 1, I decided to do a post all about Peeta as he is the best thing in The Hunger Games series. He is such a sweet boy as he truly loves Katniss and does everything he can to help her. In fact, Katniss never changes in the books, but with each chapter we see a better and stronger and more amazing Peeta that I wish I could have in real life.

Let me just say that it would be no real struggle for me to be Peeta’s girlfriend.

Yep. I mean in The Hunger Games, you Katniss is extremely suspicious, so its not until Catching Fire that you really know learn how wonderful Peeta is.

And how much he would risk for her.

And that is why Mockingjay Part 1 & 2 will be so hard as he is hijacked and turned into this horrible person. But as they say, you never know what you got ’till its gone.

So stay strong everyone. It will be hard to watch but we will make it through.

But just be sure to fortify yourself.

And just think of the wonderful Peeta that will be back.
