2013

Well, happy New Year! 

Here, have a dinosaur cupcake...

I do not have a resolution for this year yet, perhaps some of you could give me ideas? 

Maybe to draw 100 drawings?

Perhaps to cross something off my Bucket List?

To master a six mallet song on marimba? 

I need ideas! 

Pixie Problem

I'm nearly positive everyone has heard of Peter Pan. And I'm quite positive everyone has heard of his side-kick, Tinkerbell. Well I love the movie, Peter Pan, and fell in love with the little pixie from the first time I saw her! But...then things changed...

We went from a spunky little pixie to a do-gooder fairy inventor. Huh?

I am a believer in fairies, not that they change the seasons or anything, but that they're out there. I also believe in parallel dimensions and alternate Earths in which in one I am Batman...but let's not go there. Yet.

So here is the Tinkerbell that I like:

She didn't put up with anything, only cared for Peter, and enjoyed fun and pranks. 

Then we get this Tinkerbell: 

What is this? 

She is lover of all people and animals, only really enjoys inventing things and prefers to work over anything else. 

I watched a few of her movies because I really liked the character from the 1953 movie, and it only disappointed me that first of all, there is no Peter Pan. I kept thinking he'll show up soon but no. Four movies later and no. Granted, I did not see the latest one, but that's about Tink finding her snowy sister or something. 

WHY ARE THEY RUINING THE PIXIE?

They created a whole world around her in Neverland and it's almost too weird for even me to understand! And that's saying something. What got me through the few movies of hers that I've seen are her new friends. 

I can't remember any of their names but each one has such a distinct personality, it's quite funny whenever they have conversations. Especially the pink fairy, Rosetta, I think. She's pretty great...only because she's voiced by Kristin Chenoweth!

All in all, if the real Tinkerbell were here, she'd probably do this:

Or her face would turn really red. That's acceptable, too. 

Costumes Not to Consume

***Consume meaning spend money on***

***Not "Eat"***

Okay, so basically I checked out this blog where they compare male costumes to female costumes and the comparisons shocked me. I pulled out a few female costumes to show you because I couldn't even tell what they were trying to be. 

Now I'll be making a game: 

I'll show you the pictures of the ladies and at the bottom of the post will be the answers to their character names! 

Good luck. I would have failed. 

Now I'll show my reaction to these costumes: 

Answers:

 -Clown Fish

-Jack Skellington 

-Clockwork Orange

-Phantom of the Opera

-Ninja

-Owl

-Indiana Jones

-Darth Vader

-Angel

Yep. I would have failed. 

Now, I know you're all thinking about dinosaurs so here are the male/female versions of a dinosaur costume: 

Yep. 

While I'm on a costume rant, I saw this a little later:

               

               

                 
 

                

C'mon, society! I thought we were better than this. 

Everybody wants to be a cat

Ahhhh...the Aristocats...

A movie about aristocratic cats who get lost, but befriend an alley cat and all end up home again.

^^^That is the very short version of the story

The movie taught me one very important thing...

EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT 

whether or not they know it

I mean look at how much fun cats have!

Caroline's Top 3 Reasons to be a Cat: 

1. sleeping all day 

2. Looking like a loaf

3. Hats

Dandy Lions

My friend sent me this picture: 

THEY ARE DANDY LIONS. 

QUITE IN FACT THE DANDIEST LIONS I HAVE EVER SEEN. 

GET THOSE LIONS MONOCLES. 

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN BE DANDIER.

Sofia the First

For those who don't know who this is, it is Sofia the First

First? 

Meaning several things, to me it means that she is the first hispanic Disney princess. 

And hey, that's great. Good for Disney for finally getting this done. My issue is in the fact that her hair and skin are incredibly light and her eyes are blue. What?

I understand that looks aren't everything but seriously, you couldn't have given her brown eyes? 

I also went and watched her movie which I suppose was cute. It was meant for a much younger audience than a 16 year old but I am a lover of all things Disney so I checked it out. 

The plot is something about her mother marrying the king and Sofia has to dance at a ball so she takes dance lessons but her evil stepsister gives her trick shoes so she screws up her lessons. Scared she'll mess up at the ball, Sofia hangs out with a wizard guy who gives her a spell that will supposedly make her a great dancer. She finds out too late that the spell causes everyone to fall asleep and she has no way of reversing the spell. So what does she do? 

She uses her magical necklace to call Cinderella. 

Okay?

What?

Cinderella says that if a princess needs help, she can always call past princesses. That's great, but why is Sofia the first one able to do this? I blame the necklace. 

A song later, Sofia fixes everything with the help of her no-longer-evil stepsister. 

yay. 

  The only thing that got me through the episode was Sofia's hilarious faces. 

So...I think I'll be done with Sofia the First for a little while. 

Ball Gowns to mini skirts

Just so you know, Cinderella is my favorite Disney princess!

Sometimes I think I'll be her for halloween, so I go and look at the costumes for her...

Adorable. A wonderfully puffy dress!

This is so cute! It's like Cinderella on ice!

Uh. What happened to the ball gown?

Annnnnnd it is officially no longer Cinderella. 

What is this???

If it weren't for the choker necklace, I wouldn't have known it was Cinderella. 

Why do costumes do this? I just want a nice Cinderella costume, but the older I get the more skin these costumes show! That is quite the opposite of what I want. 

So what was I for halloween? 

A fully covered Harley Quinn. 

Rock on. 

Significant Individual

If you ever have a bad day, just remember...

The Eleventh Hour

I'm sure some of you know what this is...

IT'S DOCTOR WHO!

One of my all time favorite shows! But I admit, the tenth doctor is my favorite. Eleven is pretty great, too. But ten wins. Ha. 

Regarding Eleven:

As much as I love the last few seasons with Matt Smith, I do not love the relationship between characters, Amy Pond and Rory Williams. Amy is an incredible person and a fighter and I think she works very well with the Doctor. Then there's Rory...

I like the character, but I find him a little annoying the way he just tags along with Amy. I totally understand his undying love for her, but waiting 2000 years outside a box for her is a little extreme. Even if he was made out of plastic and had a gun for a hand. 

I'm quite sad that Amy is no longer the Doctor's companion but at the same time, it's time for the Doctor to get a new travel buddy. 

Harlequinade

Harleen Quinzel started out as a psychologist working at Arkham Asylum. She became very interested in the Joker's case and after pulling a few strings, she got a session with him. He easily tricked her into showing sympathy for him and he then twisted her mind into believing that she "loves" him. Quickly adapting the new name, "Harley Quinn" as a play on words for "Harlequin"as well as her real name, the woman dressed as a harlequin and sprung the Joker from Arkham and they became partners in crime!

No relationship is perfect, but the Joker continuously beats on Harley, and the question always pops up, "Why doesn't she just leave him?" Well, not only is she basically brainwashed by the man, but the woman holds her own pretty well against him. She even attempts to kill him by shooting him in the head! 

Harley always has a smile, and gun waiting for the Batman's next move. Especially with a few friends at her side, including two hyenas and a best friend, Poison Ivy. 

The two women became Gotham's "Queens of Crime"  and pulled off incredible heists together! But Poison Ivy's extreme feminist ways were a little too much for Harley, seeing as she always missed the Joker when he was away. 

Harley is  my favorite Batman villain for many reasons!
One being that she is almost more of a victim to Joker's schemes than she is a villain herself. She doesn't have much regard for human life, but she always laughs everything off, as if she has not a care in the world. I love the fact that she is actually brilliant and an expert on mental disorders, and even though she's been practically brainwashed and is sometimes clueless, she's a genius and every once-in-a-while it shows through. 

Another great thing about her is that she is completely covered! The only skin she even shows is her face, which is still covered in make-up! Which is why I am a little sad when I see certain halloween costumes for her, and especially the "modernized" costumes for her in the recent video games for Batman. 

Don't get me wrong, it's cool that they modernized her look and she still looks beautiful and all that...

but I wish they stayed a little bit more true to her character. 

Why?

BECAUSE  HARLEY IS AWESOME
