My Obsession

Girls of the Playboy Mansion

They have a geriatric boyfriend, live in a adults Neverland, have money to waste, time to kill, parties to dress up for, a curfew, imagination and they always leave me wondering if they're really so......blonde.... But Bridget is the oldest, smartest, most genuine and the most attractive. Oh, she makes me giggle along.

Michael Jackson

The King of Pop. Who else could do so much. He started as a young black, all-singing, all-dancing, little kid. But became a presumably crazy, white old man, with financial and public appearance problems. In between he managed to change the world. Change music and dance. They keep saying Usher, Chr Chr Chr Chris Breezy are the new Michael, Pfffft! Michael even had Neverland. He is the King.

Reality Tv

I am an addict. Theres some I won't go near but I'm almost up for anything,

Biggest Loser
Extreme Makeover
America's Next Top Model
Project Runway
Top Chef
Hell's Kitchen
Flava of Love
The Simple Life
The Osbournes
Deadliest Catch
Average Joe
Ulitmate Fighter
Extreme Makeover, Home Edition
Pimp My Ride

The Joe Schmo Shoe
Girls of The Playboy Mansion
Mythbusters
The 70s House
Trading Spouses
Brat Camp
The Amazing Race
and all their many seasons, I would have been into a lot more had I had Sky Tv or lived in America. I know they are not true reality, but that doesn't stop me watching them.

High School Musical

In a totally awkward way I love them! It is the new Grease. The dances were spot on. The clothes are conservative and cute. There is no kissing, till the very very end, which is adorable. Quadrupled by the fact that Zac and Vanessa are a real life couple. How sweet? I can't wait for them to through away the Disney act and start to do 20 year old things. Maybe Zac will launch himself the same way Daniel Radcliffe(Harry) did, by getting his clothes off.

Board Games

Mouse Trap, Operation, Guess Who?, Jenga (I'm slipping it in here), Game of Life,
Such wholesome, simple fun. And it's so easy to add a naughty twist.

Stretched Ears

I had thought about it heaps before, but always decided I needed to keep my holes so I could wear dangley earrings. But I got over that, cause I have a second hole and now my ears are on their way to bigger things. It's really fun watching them grow slowly. I can't wait to be able to put my finger through. He he.

Drugs

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Tales of Glamour and Excess, Heroin Diaries, Dirt. These books gave me chills. To live the life is not for me but I have a strange sense of respect for someone who does. To survive the obstacles that come with fame and addiction is truly amazing. Drugs have influence music in so many ways. If you look at any old rock star you can almost see the scratches the drugs caused, their skin hangs a different way and their eyes are not always there. But they made some wicked music! And I hope that the artist I listen to today have had some help from chemistry or horticulture.

Chuck Palahnick

Fight Club and Choke are the only books of his I've read (so far) but both have been incredible. His way of giving you just the right information to give you a dark light picture in your head. His characters are almost defined more by where they are then what they look like. Both his leading men had a scum of the Earth smell about them, but we're not expected to pity or feel sorry for them. And Marla is whatever you want you dream girl to be, in a creepy black haired, smoking, crazy bitch kinda way.

Katy Perry

Lets forget the drama of "I kissed a girl" and "Your so gay". Her romper suits are spectacular!!

Cruel Intentions

This movie has kept my dream of being an evil rich bitch alive for years now. The cast is so perfect, the soundtrack is touching and it has a No Please Say I Didn't Just See That kind of ending. It really sucked me in, the innocence in Cecil, Annette's know it all, Sebastian's boredom then confusion and Kathryn's reign then fall. I will continue to look for a necklace like hers, then I'll think about getting the cocaine problem....

Lindsay Lohan & Sam Ronson

I didn't really like her till she started to go lesbian/bi/un-labeled. They are my best dressed couple. I'm all for the legging, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to afford Lindsay's.

The L Word

It came out here in New Zealand only a year or so ago, and on a channel I didn't get reception too. So I never really thought about it. Till a little while ago. I have now seen up to the end of season 5 and I'm waiting patiently with everyone else to see the 6th and finale. I instantly feel for Shane like everyone else, but I think I relate more to Jenny, maybe because we are both crazy. The cast is hot and the characters fit the image.

Ellen Page

She's got the jeans and a t-shirt, maybe a jacket on top, add some lace up shoes, style down. Then you see her all made up and your like... WOW. Her movies are Ace also. She's such a casual and quirky gal.

Gym Class Heroes/Travie

Their music is foot tapping, tip of your toungue, stuck in your head, with a nice beat and cheeky. Travie's look is Fresh/Nerd/80s Hip Hop (I'm so glad Poppy is bringing it back with him). He has the ears, tattoos, hoodies, sneakers, glasses and glazed look. Trying to keep it real.

Documentaries

I've never really been into cartoons but I've always had a thing for documentaries. (Maybe my Reality TV obsession somehow came from that) . I have a thirst for information, and not necessarily useful or relevant information. I like to know about other people's lives, chainsaw singing Lyre birds and sometimes even religious cults.

Young Americans

I grew up a Dawson's Creek fan, but it lost me somewhere. I had contemplated watching it again when I came across a 'Dawson's Creek spin-off', enter Young Americans. How did it only have one season!!! It gave me a ear to ear smile. I have never seen such a hot couple as Jack and Hamilton. I didn't understand why, but they really hit the spot. I was in awe of their chemistry. This also introduced me to Katherine Moennig. I was already a fan of Ian Somerhalder, Boone, Lost.

Daytime Talk-Shows

Oprah, Dr Phil, Martha, Ellen. These are the only shows we get here but its usually enough. Dr Phil might have gone a bit too big for me, his guest seem to be their to get the make over and have a cry and he is trying to fit in as many one-liners as possible. Martha has her good moments, but when shes bad, shes real bad. This woman can get pretty awkward. The closest she gets to a real everyday life has to be the tacky little tasks to does on the show. Some guests are just too young, normal or even extreme for her to keep up with. She does well with house wifes, menopausal and plastic woman though. Oprah, well she has this game down. I could watch high lights for hours. When she gives away the cars, an idol gets surprised by Stevie Wonder and people get houses, appliances, books, food and advice thrown at them. Oh I would run and check under my seat straight away. Ellen is 50! Ellen and Justin Timberlake dress the same. They are so hip. And she has Portia De Rossi!! Her show is fun also. Her guest are young, fresh, hip stars that are really nervous and cute. Sweet.

Gossip Girl

Its like Cruel Intentions but a TV show!!Really?!Yeah!Chuck and Blair are my new Sebastian and Kathryn. Gossip Girl girls wear clothes I could not even dream of affording/wearing, but I am inspired by how they can jazz their school skirts and white blouses up in so many different ways. Chuck's clothes are the flyest of fly. His pastels and scarfs, and socks and shorts. Another attractive cast to boot.

Nick Hornby

About a Boy, High Fidelity. Both funny books, turned into funny movies. Who would have thought. Marcus is a complex/simple kid, I like how logical he is. Rob is in such a dream, it has an amazing soundtrack.

Britney Spears

Although I was at the prime age when she began I was never the hugest fan, till the break down. She has never known what the real life is like, she doesn't know what real people are. She thinks unicorns are an endangered spieces that lives in New Zealand. She is my hero. What Would Britney Do?WWBD?
