Really?

So I was chatting the other week with a couple of guys, who shall remain nameless, and they were talking about how the nudity in Titanic didn't really count because it was Kate Winslet and "she is ugly and was fat in that movie anyway."

Yes. Not only did they say she isn't pretty. He said she was fat.

It took all my self control not to scream at him and hit him upside the head with a baseball bat. The fact that anyone would consider her fat in that movie, or any movie she's been in, absolutely infuriates me. That right there, is the reason that soooo many girls and women have eating disorders, depression, and self esteem problems in general. Kate Winslet is gorgeous, and yes she isn't disgustingly and unhealthily skinny. You can't see every bone in her sternum, and she has curves. Women are supposed to have curves!!!! Not look like 12 year old boys with zero body fat and huge fake boobs. It's like when Britney Spears performed on the VMA's a year or so ago and everyone was saying she was fat. She's had two kids and I think she looked great.



It's no secret that there has always been way more pressure for women to look a certain way, particularly in the media, but I think the way the media portrays relationships gives guys a false hope of what kind of woman they can get. Like this Carl's Jr. commercial that has been on recently.



The girl is gorgeous. And maybe the guy has the greatest personality in the world, but I wouldn't bet on it, especially if he takes her to places like Carl's Jr. on dates. Yet somehow we are supposed to believe they are dating?! There are sooo many examples on TV of fat men with skinny little wives. Like Kings of Queens, According to Jim, Homer and Marge Simpson, Peter and Lois Griffin, etc. etc. And shows like Seinfeld, George would never get half of the women he dates on that show. I asked Brody to tell me one sitcom, movie, cartoon, whatever where it has a big fat wife and super hot husband. There aren't any.

If you saw last week's, Office, they were debating whether Hilary Swank is hot. And Kevin, yes big fat Kevin, was saying she wasn't. Are you kidding me? Someone like Kevin is going to say that Hilary Swank isn't hot?!?!


Please. You can count the number of successful women in entertainment who are overweight on one hand. It's such a double standard and I just needed to get on my soapbox and vent a little.

More Sundancing

Try no degrees of separation. Kevin Bacon walked right by us.

If you are an 80's movie freak like me, you know and love Mark Harmon for his role in an amazing film called Summer School where he played the dreamy "Mr. Shoop". If you are like my parents, and love all those crime drama tv shows, than you probably know him as the guy from NCIS on where he plays "Gibbs". Either way, he walked right by us too. Megan in the background gives you an idea of how close we were. haha.

Wesley Snipes had just come off the slopes...

We saw a bunch of other celebs too. Michelle Trachtanberg who plays Georgina on Gossip Girl walked right by us, but I didn't snap a picture in time. Nick Cannon and Maria Carey also walked right by, but he is surprisingly short in real life and you can only see his bodyguard in the picture. I'm 99% sure we saw Robert Downy Jr. (Iron man) on a balcony and Paris Hilton was also up there, but for fear of getting a communicable disease, we didn't want to get too close. But this was the throng of fans/paparazzi that was waiting for her to come out of the cafe.

It was another successful day up in Park City.

Sundance is here!!!

Yes people, it's that wonderful time of year, when Hollywood descends on little Park City, UT and Main Street becomes a feeding ground for celebrities, paparazzi, stalker fans like Megan and I, indie filmmakers, and even PETA gets in on the action.

This year we didn't mess around with making it a social event for a bunch of friends. We were hard core and it paid off with this crowning jewel. Yes. Michael Cera, or as I know him best, "George Michael" from Arrested Development, "Bleaker" from Juno, etc. etc. He was surprisingly tiny and little in real life. His voice is even more scratchy than you'd expect. I am happy to say that he is actually really funny and even cracked a joke with us as we parted ways.

Another big celeb was Jessica Alba and her husband. Unfortunately, they were running from a lounge into their awaiting limo so all I got was this crappy picture of her husband. Sorry.

We also saw Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite, who blew Megan a kiss from inside a party. I apologize the pictures are so blurry but he was behind glass and a flash would have just ruined them altogether. He is the dirty one on the left with the nasty long hair.

The guy that was on Hercules was also in attendance, and Tapanga from Boy meets World.

Here are a few more random pictures. We had a blast and are going back tomorrow morning for more.




Mary Jane's had some super cute stuff and some not-so-cute stuff, but we loved these feather clips.

Love Birds

Last weekend, my friend hosted a fabulous tea party, where we made these adorable crafts. She found the amazing fabric and stretched it over canvas. Then we painted silhouettes of animals in acrylic, or you could paint the background and have the animal in the print. I decided to do two love birds and I absolutely love them!

Christmas Fun

I can't believe Christmas has already come and gone, it's crazy! It was so fun, we got to spend time with our friends and families and do all those good ol' Christmas traditions. Here are a few pictures from my parents (the only time I remembered to take pictures)

All he needs is the beard...

Laina loves her Brody
