Pretty Pretty Pink Princess

Image
I was watching The Loved Ones , a creepy Australian prom movie that my sister showed me the trailer of before Thanksgiving night.  I was still relatively in the beginning of the story—where the boy is kidnapped—and it was up to the part where the father comes into Lola's room to give her a pretty pink prom dress.  And I could not help but think, is this Pretty in Pink if it were a serial-killer-thriller, where Molly Ringwald and her father, Harry Dean Stanton, kidnap Blane (Andrew McCarthy) and torture him?

But then I got to high school, and I had a friend who sympathized.  He came up with the exploding F, where you use your bottom lip as ...

"Leave Your Body and Soul at the Door"

Last year for Halloween I was Willy Wonka. This year I had never been more confused with what to be—and usually I know my costume by the time Halloween has come the year before.  I  had always dreamed of doing a scary one like on 'Roseanne'; my favorites are Darlene's.  So I really had my heart set on prom scene Carrie, but now I must wait another year for that one; the long peach velvet dress in my closet just has to wait for its bucket of pig blood.   Then, the offer to join some 'League of Their Own' ladies arose, but I had to turn it down. I had to dress up after my namesake and be... ...LIZZZZAAAAA!!!!!!! ☠    ☠    ☠ Now, as always, here are some writings—HALLOWEEN themed: Burnt chocolate smells atrocious WANTED: OWNER of CHOCOLATE FACTORY KIDNAPS FOUR KIDS and FLEES with  OOMPA LOOMPAS “Never again will I sink my teeth into an ever-last...
