Mama needs a new pair of shoes

Saw Proof last night, which was mostly good but partly disturbing, just in the sense that you walk out of the theater wondering if you're destined to go batshit at some point in your life. But I do have to finally admit to myself that I really like Gwyneth Paltrow on screen. I really, really dislike the way she presents herself--or is presented--in

I agree about Gwyn, since she kicked some ass and took all sorts of names in Royal Tennenbaums. Her getting off the bus to Nico's These Days makes me more emotional than I want to admit.

as much as i thought gwynnie poo wasn't entirely awful in tenenbaums, i think the film would have been so much stronger had they cast someone like kate winslet. apart from my aversion to gwynnie, i thought she looked too much like the offspring of hackman and huston to suspend the appropriate amount of disbelief.

cleo: i share your aversion to gwyn, but i think what really gets my goat is that she keeps buying up/getting cast in properties that are close to my heart, and is at best miscast (if not horribly miscast) in them. she was too skinny/pretty for possession (then again, the sheer amount of badness associated with that movie kept me away), and i've similarly stayed away from proof because even the actors/factors i like in it seem wrong for the property, with the exception of hope davis. i'm hoping the film version of the passion remains in turnaround.

Your parodies are totally funnier than the ones Total Film did!! Seriously. (Finished reading the book today. :D. It's so strange seeing "OMGWTF" in print.)

Friended your audioscrobbler, hope you don't mind.

I have no idea about clothes, really. I don't like the fashionable clothes - there seems to be a trend of having trousers that come too low and tops that come too high and it's DISGUSTING. If it's comfortable, I'll wear it. If it's green, that's a bonus.

HERE is the website of the guy who writes the TF parodies, in case you're interested. The versions up there are a heck of a lot longer than the ones published in the magazine, though. (In the magazine, the whole LotR was just a page.)

Oh, it's THAT guy? People have compared us before. I make it a point not to read his stuff, for that reason--not spite or anything, but to protect myself from charges of copycatting or whatever.

That's completely understandable. It's like after I've seen a film, I'll write down my own thoughts on it before reading other people's, just so that I know that what I've written is entirely my own opinion, and not in any way affected by anything anyone else has said, and so that I can say what I think without worrying that it's too similar to anything else.

AND OMG Lost!Ethan on TV... being sexed up by a prostitute... who died on him? O_o *easily distracted* Sorry about that. They show some strange things at 4am...

Your wardrobe sounds like mine. I kinda live in this one style yoga pant - they're old navy, bootcut yoga pants. I bought 8 in black when they had a sale. *meep* That gives me a week +1.

Vary with tshirts. I like tees with cute things on them but very rarely find them in a size that fits over the boobage.

Being short and chesty and round in the areas that Latin men seem to like doesn't lend me to being a style icon :D I figure, if it's unstained, only moderately covered in dog fur, I'm ahead of the game. I'll wear sandles or flipflops unless there's frost or snow on the ground. I'm really just an overgrown hippie beach bum.

Honestly, buying multiples of an item you love is only the smart thing. Particularly if it's a basic like that.

[txvoodoo]

Especially things like that, because it NEVER FAILS, that when I find a particular garment I love beyond reason, the company will shortly stop making it ;)

[txvoodoo]

P.S. most comfie yoga pants ever, on sale for $15! :D

And if they fit MY rear and tummy and don't make me look like an oompaloompa, they fit anyone.

I'm actually a huge Ripper buff (despite having been suckered by the Maybrick diaries--shut up!)

Yeah - me too. (hides)

My dress sense:

Comfortable? Check.
T-shirts, solid colors, jeans, beat-up sneakers. Mostly blue? Check.
Umpteen frillion v-neck tops of various textures and colors, short- and long-sleeved? Check.

I'm with you, sister. :)
