i am a sucker for all things fluffy

in regards to yesterday's post
the new weetzie bat was.....
just like the old weetzie bat.
weetzie ends up with my secret agent lover man (who is now called max, weird) even though he is a total buzzkill, but first there's lots of magical stuff. i think the last three lines of this book may in fact be the same last three lines from i was a teenage fairy
that being said, of course i loved it. it was great fun. there was creepy hermaphrodites, mermaids, elf-babies, goat boys, a spider-woman, a flying bride and yes, tons of hot clothes and delicious food to keep me drooling the whole way through.
but dude, witch baby shaved her head. that is so not even right. now all of us girls who loved her because we shared her tangly hair are left out in the cold, with no snarly-headed fictional heroines to relate to (except hermione, but she doesn't count because her hair is flat in the movies).
speaking of movies, i would love to see this book as a movie. baz luhrman should totally direct it, and robert pattinson would have to play the hot goat boy. i swear they were gonna make a dangerous angels movie, or was that just in the book?
in any case, it was pretty fab. unanashedly feminine, fashion-focused, and fantastical. i did not discover any hidden secrets about how to kiss better, or retain my youthful spunk well into adulthood, but i was quite inspired by weetzie's sparkly sense of style.
do y'all think pink vintage chanel qualifies as professional attire?

love always

check it out, i'm like a hotter version of roger ebert

Is it just me, or are the harry potter movies getting harder to watch lately because dan radcliffe is turning into such a dreamboat? i saw the preview for half-blood prince last night and all i could think was "damn, would it be kinda sick for a twenty-four year old chick to bang an eighteen year old boy?" The one other thing that stood out for me, aside from potter's extreme fuckability is the fact that the guy who plays slughorn is the same guy who played zidler in moulin rouge, which is exciting to me because it feels like two things i really love (harry potter + moulin rouge) got together and made a baby or something.

okay, speaking of moulin rouge, can anyone guess what movie i'm dying to see even more than half-blood prince? Yup, that would be australia, the other movie that's directed by baz luhrman and stars nicole kidman. all i have to say is, it's about time baz! i've been waiting for you to put out a new movie since i was sixteen! i'm not even exagerating.

also, i finally saw twilight and can someone please explain to me why robert pattinson sounds like a greaser throughout the whole movie. hello, edward, this is twilight not the outsiders. even better, someone please explain to me why i find this kind of charming...

love always
