Meet Ash: Your New Weekend Editor!
I’m a pop culture junkie who just graduated from college, moved to LA and rediscovered the magic of television. Because seriously, who has time to keep up with the Kardashians—or any of our favorite celebrities—amidst midterms, internships, rush week and grad school applications? Well from now on, I’m gonna make sure that you do.
Read the rest on CollegeCandy.com and, while you’re there, leave a prayer at my altar to old school Lindsay Lohan. Can her career make a comeback? THE LIMIT DOES NOT EXIST.
“Just because you didn’t make any money at it doesn’t mean you failed at it.”
- Bridesmaids (2011)
The objective truth of this phrase (and my new mantra) may be generally debatable, but one thing is not: Bridesmaids is an awesome movie.
The Switch (2010)
girls, if you’re looking for a movie that will help you escape from your troubles for two hours and thirteen minutes to Italy, India and Indonesia, then don’t see Eat, Pray, Love. you’ll find yourself facing them head on. and alone.
yes, it’s a visually stunning movie that spotlights gooey pizza from naples and brazilian lovers in bali. however, though set and shot all over the world, it somehow sparks a self-examination and leaves you with an unsettling appetite that you may not have expected during a leisurely evening at the movies. so if you aren’t ready to take a hard look at your priorities, personal relationships and the many mistakes we make as women and americans and american women, then buy a ticket for the expendables, or the other guys, or see inception a third time on the big screen. but if you’re craving lessons on italian hand gestures, a peek inside an ashram and insightful paragraph after insightful paragraph that will fill your tumblr queue with photos of food and quotes about love, then grab your best girlfriends for the movie’s next showtime. you’ll leave the theatre with a hint of enlightenment compressed from Gilbert’s best-selling memoir; you embark on a journey to countries with dirt roads and swarms of mosquitoes while sitting on your ass in an air-conditioned theatre, thus saving your own credit card bill from wasted vacation charges and your heart from new pain. because you may already have plenty of either or both, which means this movie was made for you.
tips: try to sneak gelato into the theatre. the half hour in italy is practically a national psa for carbs&calories, after which i ate three slices of pizza at 1:30am this morning. and just remember: the healing powers arent actually in the generous servings of spaghetti, bottles of thums up and bandages made from banana leaves…but they definitely help!
