Pageants vs. Ninjas

disclaimer: people will be mad but this is my opinion... deal with it. what really supports this idea is emily fields... ninja. the girl is a ninja, and while she is my least favorite of the 6 main girls of Pretty Little Liars, I love her so much and well, she's a ninja. In the episode "pretty isn't the point", Hanna is only entering a pageant to win scholarship money because she has literally no other options. She hates pageants and her awesome boyfriend Caleb reminds her how awful they are but supports whatever it is that she needs to do (because he is the best boyfriend and a male feminist himself). Anyway, despite Ashley Benson being a real life trained dancer from the age of 4, her character Hanna, is not the best dancer so she enlists (literally forces) Emily to help her learn a dance routine. As Hanna goes off  the deep end thinking about her awful step sister Kate, and dances herself into a crazy dancing rage/seizure while the coach is watching, the...

"Game over, Charles" fanfic rewritten finale

Because, well I just had to....  Game on Marlene... lol

Open letter to Marlene King (& co.)

As I was watching the TCA's last night I thought, this is amazing. PLL has won almost every award they have been nominated for, for the past 5 years. Us fans are so dedicated, but also it's a good show. I'm not sure many people realize this but the way PLL is written and shot, is not like other shows, it's different. It has a classic story feel to it, it takes me back to a time when the people who made tv and movies thought about every little detail, every word, every facial expression. It never followed the typical tv-mystery formula.  I started to watch eye candy and it was pretty good but I stopped because it made me want to delete facebook. Later I found out they revealed their version of "-a" and it was the worst possible choice, I thought "PLL would never go with someone that obvious" I hoped the show would pick someone that makes sense with every detail, that this has to have been planned from day 1. I thought that PLL wouldn't give in t...

PLL; the real "dollhouse", plus a social commentary

Image
I'm someone that loves to find the deeper meaning in things, and I usually can catch on pretty quickly. What I didn't realize until Heather Hogan pointed it out in a recap was that on "pretty little liars" there is something going on. I posted what she said on my facebook and I'll summarize it, the dollhouse was doing to the girls, what rosewood had already been doing to them, and what in real life, our life, society does to us. A lot of the subtle commentaries I picked up on, because it's not that hard. In season 1 we get that even the best of mom's (ashley marin) says to her daughter "you CAN'T mess up... in this town, what people think of you matters" that sets the stage for the entire show. I love Ashley but she sleeps with a cop so he will drop shoplifting charges against hanna, setting the example that it doesn't matter if you actually do the right thing. It only matters if people don't find out about your mistakes. People say t...

Talented and strong females

Not feeling like thinking today, so I'm taking a break from the female musician series this week. Instead I am just going to post some random, cool videos in this blog, some from PLL and some about PLL, and some other cool songs. I'll be keeping the focus on talented females though. this scene was epic, it was so well edited and the intensity behind what's going on is well portrayed by this. found this one too.  it's very heartbreaking this makes me feel sad for Jason and Alison... this one just makes me feel bad for ali, but also it makes me admire her. alison is so misunderstood. this is a great song, set to clips from "one night with the king" a movie about queen Esther  random song I love  I love this movie, it's one of my favorites. Even though it's one of the saddest I've ever seen there is truth in it. Truth and good always wins in the end. The truth will eventually be revealed and love, true and re...
