Living In: Pretty In Pink

This is one of those movies that mostly ever female has watch at some point in her life and most fall in love with. I remember the first time I watch Pretty in Pink starring Molly Ringwald I was 8 years old and was completely amazed and still to this day I enjoy watching this film. Even though I like the movie I was never really fond of the colour pink- is this ironic maybe. I think what drew me into the movie was Molly's red hair I've  been in love with red hair since I was a child in kindergarten when I meet a ginger in school which was my first time seeing anyone with red hair.





Something I truly hated about the movie was the last outfit Molly had on when she went to the prom - that darn pink dress confection. And this isn't about the colour pink because pink is a very flattering colour what bothered me was the shape and design. For me it seem like a bag around her body and I understand the point of the dress is to show that she unique and different from the crowd and brave  and that she didn't have tons of money but like couldn't she be still creative, brave,etc in a nicer designed dress. Like I'm not asking for a Alexander McQueen style like dress or anything just something with shape. OK that is my rant about the movie- I would love to hear what you think about the last dress whether you agree or disagree. Below are some options that if they were magically able to alter filmso that they could replace the former dress with one of my picks!





Would love to hear what you think of the post and my dress picks !!!

Living In: Alice in Wonderland Part 1

Alice is defiantly an interesting character and is a story that has survived many decades and still is a favorite for young and old. Recently, this year Tim Burton made an Alice in Wonderland which was a continuation from the first Alice in Wonderland that Disney did in two-dimensional animation many many years ago. Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was live action. And I realized just this week for someone who enjoys the films I don't have the old 2D version nor the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland that came out this year. Thus this might ended up going on my Christmas wish for this year! I'd figured considering that many people love Alice in Wonderland they would be some interesting inspired stuff sold on etsy. Some of the things that were found were appeal, jewelry or for your house and here below here are some of the things I found:

I didn't go over broad with repetitive creations of Alice and I was going for things that weren't crazy crafty or weren't majorly a fad. All this items you can purchase on etsy and furthermore if you get tired of them once in awhile they are easy to store and come back to!

Living In: Ninja Turtles PART 2

So I discovered to my dismay that there are barely any images from any of the Ninja Movies and it was impossible to find any scenes showing the scenery and places they used which I also loved from the movie. So I'll list some of the scenes I love based on pure background. From the first film loved the old vintage store that was dusty and filled it seem like it could be amazing if clean and not destroyed by the enemies. Argh! Then i loved the old barn house that was in ruins mainly due to the fact that i like older houses that are rustic. Looking at the second film I loved the old train station that the ninja turtles found under ground with all the stain glass. If you were ever going to renew a window in your house and put stain glass i would recommend looking at Ninja Turtles 2 it so beautiful!
Yet if you just want to live like a Ninja Turtle for a day get a Ninja Turtle t-shirt on, some green costume paint , gather some friends, get blue, yellow, red or black cloths, cut out some eye holes and order some pizza.
House is an actually house that was used in Ninja Turtles III!
Someone decided to dress up as Micheal Angelo! So awesome something to think about when Halloween comes along!

So was kinda disappointed that he was only in the first film because he was so cool.So that the end of the post if anyone knows where images of the stain glass train station from Ninja Turtles 2 is let me know. And let me know what you think about the post.
