I was lucky enough to go to an early showing of The Great Gatsby tonight. I did not go in with very high hopes, only because I really loved Moulin Rouge and who didn't go nuts over Romeo + Juliet? I didn't think he could top those two movies.
However, Baz Luhrmann did not upset, yet again. The movie is fast, the movie is fun, energetic, magical, colorful, heart warming, heart breaking, exciting and worth every buttery popcorn kernel and oz of sugary large drink I shoved down my throat.
Thank you, Sissy for the awesome invitation and free movie!! Oh, and for Leonardo DiCaprio OWNING the role of Gatsby. He is fantastic!
Here is a track from Timid Tiger - The Sun Goes Down, The Streets Are Black. In my opinion, don't watch the video, he looks a bit stiff. However, I really love how they use the sounds of the streets in the video.
What are your plans for the weekend? I have a long lost friend coming up for 24 hours. I'm very excited to see this crazy dude!! In our younger years, we were in 1st grade together but then he moved away to a different neighborhood. When we met back up in 8th grade I went to make sure he was the same kid in my 1st grade class, but, then noticed I couldn't. I had X'd his face out to where he pretty much didn't exist in my yearbook. How rude. He must have pissed me off.
Once again, "thank you" TomSaun for the hint to listen to these dudes.
And, since I totally left ya hanging last Friday with no tunes (how did you survive?) Here is my current guilty pleasure... Icona Pop - I Don't Care. This reminds me of my sister and I living together in the early 00's, being reckless, traveling, being obnoxious and really feeling like, "I DON'T CARE, I LOVE IT!" While angering everyone around us.
Have a great weekend, everyone! Its supposed to be an amazing weekend (weather wise) up here in NYC! I will make the best of it, blast the above songs and LOVE IT!
I was walking down 5th Ave this afternoon, enjoying the amazing weather we are finally getting and saw THESE in the Bergdorf's window. Stoppitnow!
They are AMAZING Christian Louboutin spiked heels and they literally made me stop dead in my tracks.
I absolutely LOVE shoes. I always have and I always will, (sorry huzbo). They are just amazing and can snap up any outfit (which is usually jeans and a t-shirt, yes, even to work). My issue with shoes however, is the price of a lot of them. Im not a big fan of spending more than $75.00 on a pair of shoes (you can thank me now, huzbo). The pieces of art below, clearly that is what they are after I tell you the price are incredible. Incredibly expensive!!!! $1515.00. Yep. What is the most you have ever or would ever spend on a pair of shoes? I think I top out at $220 for a pair of boots that I bought three years ago and still wear. If only I could be as careless as Carrie Bradshaw and her shoes addiction! There is still time. (Sorry huzbo).
My husband and I play a little game on the subway. It's a sort of urban fishing, if you will. We snap pictures of sleeping people in the subways and hashtag it on Instagram as, #iseeyouz . The "z" is for sleeping, for those who don't get it (c'mon, Ma!)
Feel free to join in... It can be anyone sleeping anywhere other than a bed.
The more odd the better, in my opinion!!
Happy hashtagging! If you check it out on Instagram, Scottie has some AMAZING ones!
