in life, random Tags: bleh, boredom, get me outta here, internet is a must, no cable
that’s how i’m feeling right about now. i can’t explain it, nor do i know what to do to change it but today is not the day for me. i may have thrown my life balance off by being so super productive yesterday, but geez i had no choice. without cable and internet to distract me i was just in the zone.
i recently moved, don’t know how much more moving i can take but for now this is it. haven’t had much time to move things around or set things up so all i literally have is dvds, my sewing machine and one tv. everything else is in storage and i have no idea when i will be able to get them all out.
while being all extra productive i finished a dress in only about 10 hours and then was stuck. i ended up sitting there for the rest of the day watching movies i’ve seen fifty million and one times and all i could think was, “i hope to God this won’t be my life forever!” that statement served as just a little reminder of why i have to make it. i don’t know where “it” may be or when i may get there but it has got to be somewhere other than here and its got to be coming sometime soon…
i have long established i can’t be one of those people who sits at home all day getting fat and lazy. i like to be out. i like to be seen. i like to do stuff. lolz. i just have way too much that goes on in my head to just be able to sit and wait for life to happen to be…. i’m a make life happen-er! haha.
i guess i just need to regroup with me myself and i. thank goodness its new years time ’cause this is a new year’s resolution for that behind! Jill of M.O.S.T. will definitely be a priority this upcoming year. no more hobby. time to be full time, 24/7/365 with it. maybe that’s the lesson to be learned in all of this. maybe that’s what i need to not feel, don’t know. so bleh…
*this post is hella random and it had a point but that got lost a while ago. i haven’t posted in a while and had to get stuff off my chest. bare with me, por favor. lolz

in hair and makeup, inspiration, movies
so i saw BURLESQUE… give me a moment. .::breaths::. so yea. i saw BURLESQUE the sunday after it opened and it was amazing! I loved it from the beginning to when the fire alarm went off and paused it in the middle, right straight through to the end! lolz if you haven’t gone to see it yet, GO. if you have, go see it again!
its a typical story but for some reason it still caught my attention and never let it go. *spoiler ahead*
its about the main character Alison (played by Christina) and how she leaves her little rinky dink town to make it big in Hollywood. she curses out her boss, steals some money (well not really but… .::sighs::. anyways) and makes a smooth b-line for the greyhound station. cliché i know but what can i say… i ♥ it!
so she goes on audition after audition and gets nowhere fast. forced to live in a motel she contemplates sending a postcard home but i mean, if you seen where she was staying you’d understand why she didn’t. finally she’s walking around in a cute lil’ midriff bearing top and stumbles across a club, burlesque, pays $20 (which is way too much to be charging in the daytime for you to see some half nekked chicks) to get and is automatically drawn to it.
fast forward past the fire alarm, she’s working there, gets treated like crap by the other girls, one in particular who tries to set her up, sings her ass off and then proceeds to steal the show the rest of the way through. There’s some flirting, some Cher, who by the way looks fan-FRICKIN-tastic and some other stuffs all mixed up in there.
* i’m trying not to give it all away. its so hard!
but anyways on to what i really wanted to talk about. this movie has truely inspired me. though i am not an aspiring actress/singer/dancer/showgirl the morals, lessons and most importantly the costumes in this movie just goes to show that a lesson is best learned more ways than one. we can forever say “if and first you don’t succeed” and all that and you can watch every movie, documentary or whatever that says the same thing but for some reason each time you hear it it somehow sounds like its brand new.
when i first saw the preview i automatically thought that it was chicago all over again. i love chicago and so i initially went just to compare but ended up falling in love with the storyline anyways. and the costumes… oh the costumes. words cannot explain. don’t believe me… see for yourself!
dress of straight pearls!
hand print leotard!
CHER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coco = token bad black chick!
