Pin It, To Win IT
This is one of my daily addictions. You will find me pinning items, looking for fashion for the ever changing seasons, buying items, checking out d.i.y. home creations that I could never possibly complete. I absolutely love it. Books, music, clothes, movies, television shows, its all there to be pinned at the touch of your fingers. I can't get enough.

Very good film and you don't need to be interested in fashion although the scene where she walks through New York and the clothes change every time she passes behind a bus or turns a corner, must have taken ages to shoot that scene and get the continuity correct. Have read the book and yes things are altered for the film but in this instance I think the film is better.

Movie Favorite

"The one [film] that made me want to be an actor is [Franco] Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet. I went and saw it and, because there might have been some sex scenes, I had to sit in front of my mom, and any time those beautiful young people took off their clothes, I would feel her hand clamp down on my eyes [laughing]. But that’s when I went, “Yes, that!'"

It's like rewashing the clothes you just washed...
Set somewhat immediately after the first only to jump several months, the KB2 was as expected, a bumpy story about wether a long distance relationship can work or not.
Circling around old friendships and new love intetests and the value of trust, the story felt rushed at times but was still enjoyable and more mature (sometimes).

Fred Gets Dressed implies a cute book. It's a good one for teaching children how to get dressed. It also shows a bit of transgender dressing. I enjoyed that part of it, especially when the parents came into the bedroom. I am not sure if this is the plot of the story or not.

It shows that they let their child choose what they want to wear. It may also be teaching to let your child play dress-up with a child or children. They may want to try on mom or dad clothes, and that should be okay as well.

The author seems to be emphasizing allowing your child to play dress up and it being okay to wear mom's clothes or dad's clothes. It is a sweet story; nonetheless, Children will enjoy this. May Fred be a girl or a boy? Who to say? The author does not say if Fred is a boy or a girl. Your children could see themselves in the story; This does not always happen. Well done with that.

I rated the book four stars (moons). I am not exactly sure if the story is about transgender children or learning to get dressed. That does not matter too much, but the other reason for it implying determination is I did not get the print copy. I am not blaming the author on this, as it is the slow mail that is the problem. I hope that parents will pick this up to put on their child's bookshelves. It is a good book for children to learn whether the story or plot is about transgender children or learning to get dressed or to play dress up.

Children should be allowed to play dress-up. There is nothing wrong with trying on other people's clothes. It may be that they either enjoy or identify with them better.

I'm currently level 45 and I adore this game! It is a bit repetetive but I don't mind.

The graphics are adorable, and they've been releasing more animals and doing fun events. Recently, clothes crafting and gardens were added, which made the game even better!


It's easy to play without spending any money. Overall I think this is a very cute, fun game and I plan on playing it for a long time.

I loves this film as a kid. I would love to be able to get my hands on a copy that isn't VHS. The film tells the story of Hans Christian Anderson. Through the film and his travels he tells his famous stories to different audiences through song. These include, The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor's New Clothes and Thumbalina. After all the years since I've watched it I can still recall the songs clearly.
  
Jaine's neighbor Lance has decided it's time for her to have a makeover. It doesn't land her any new clothes, but it does land her a job writing for one of the boutiques they visit. Only then the owner is killed with a high heel. The result is another funny mystery with wild characters you can't help but like.

Harrowing account of the Boston Marathon bombing and aftermath. I really liked that the story was interwoven with actual cctv of the real bombers and their movements leading up to their capture.
I really rate Mark Wahlberg but I didn't find him or his character convincing in this film, he was everywhere, plain clothes, uniform, cctv expert...that bugged me a little but I guess it was easier to tell the story with this "generic" police officer. That's really my only gripe.
