I Feel The Need For Speed!

I am a *huge* fan of the Fast and Furious film series.  I know, I know.  You don't have to say anything.  It's my guilty pleasure (^_^) I'm not afraid to admit it!  My brother and I love to watch the movies together and we always go when a new one comes out at the cinema.  Even though they're kind of corny and cheesy and they always suck a little bit, there's just something epically awesome about them.  Even 2 Fast, 2 Furious, which was really, really bad *laughs*

It's hard to believe that the first movie came out in 2001, a whole ten years ago!  *AND* there's due to be one more in the series!  They just keep on giving (^_^) I'll be a bit sad when they stop making them.  And, considering the end of Fast Five, it's hard to guess what they're going to do with the next movie.  But I'll be there, whenever it comes out, ready and waiting to be taken back in the world of fast cars, hilarious dialogue and general awesomeness (^_^)

So tell me, what are your guilty pleasures?

Hope you're having an awesome Friday and have a fun-filled weekend ahead!

Who Do? You Do! Do What? Remind Me Of The Babe!

The last few days have just been a whirlwind for me!  From going out to an interview on Wednesday to actually starting the job on Saturday, I was lucky enough to snaffle two days off to recover from the hectic week gone by!  I've been horribly tired and aching all over (I know, I know, a hard day's work never killed anyone but it sure tried on Saturday) and just needed the last two days to relax before I head back tomorrow.  Subsequent relaxing means I haven't really done a lot of crafting or baking or, well, anything.  Except watching one of my favourite movies of all time and remembering why it's such a huge inspiration to me.

Oh, Labyrinth!  I remember watching this as a tiny little girl and have ever since dreamed of becoming Sarah and fighting against the Goblin King (David Bowie I love you) to rescue my baby brother!  Seriously, if I had the chance to become a character from a movie, I'd be Sarah.  Not only does she go on an awesome adventure and makes loads of slightly odd yet charming friends, she has utterly beautiful hair and gets to wear kick-ass clothes.

Pretty hair & pretty face!

I love how billowy her shirt is compared to her skinny jeans.

Do want her hairpieces!  Super gorgeous!

I feel a bit more normal now that I've lusted over pretty costumes and sunk back into my childhood a little.  I feel ready for the hard week of work I have ahead of me and I also feel like everything is just managing to slip into place right now.  Seeing my boy draws ever closer, I've finally got the job I need, the craziness is over and normality is being restored.  Now I just need to dig those craft materials out and get cracking again!  Which reminds me, must buy some more black card...(^_^)

Seriously Sweet Sunday

I want to be a 1950s housewife.  Seriously.  I want to polish the mirrors and bake cookies while lazing about in gloriously gorgeous dresses like these.

I have officially been inspired by the 1950s look, something which I was previously pretty ignorant about.  My boy, the star that he is, suggested that we watch the movie 'Flipped' last night.

It's the sweetest coming-of-age movie I've ever seen.  Everything about it was completely beautiful, from the wonderful costumes to the awe-inspiring sets.  Here are some of the stills from the movie, showcasing the awesomeness.

I swear this was me as a kid (the girl, obv.!)

<3 the colour of her shirt and his awesome plaid!

Gorgeous dress.  'Nuff said.

This shot is just gorgeous, from her awesome outfit to the crazy cute screen.  Do want!

Boy and I decided that I am going to be a stay-at-home-in-gorgeous-dresses housewife someday.  And, despite my feminist streak, I'm totally okay with that.  As long as I get to wear pretty dresses.  And bake apple and blueberry pies.  And get to be fabulous in general.  I need me a 1950s dress, pronto.
