The Extra Bit
Pure Love – Fantasy or Possible Reality?
You and I would run away to wherever our adventure waits.
Everyone dreams of great romances. Ones of fairy tales and great fiction. And we are told time and time again that they are impossible to fulfil. Me being me, asks why?
Why can’t we achieve the great? The magnificent? The purely beautiful?
Fat or Curvy?
Whatever happened to female idols such as Marilyn Monroe? A UK size 14 and one of the sexiest women in history. What I want to know is when did it become “cool” to be skinny? Corsets were made to accentuate curves and old film stars had a lot of them. Did it happen overnight? Over the course of years or a decade? If so, when, why and how did we ever let it happen.
The Come Down
There comes a point where you begin to fall from your high. The come down.
It’s a gradual process starting with one tiny knock that will send you spiralling down. It starts with the occasional five minutes of sadness. Then it escalates to weeping all of a sudden late at night when you realise there’s no one there to talk to. Soon, it begins to take over your life. It’s harder to get up in the morning. You have no motivation to do anything. All you want to do is lie in bed, hiding under your duvet away from the big bad world. You burst out into tears and cry uncontrollably for a few minutes, and then you’re fine.
Catfish: The TV Show
In 2010 Catfish the documentary film came to our eyes. The independent movie made by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, depicted the journey of Yaniv ‘Nev’ Schulman as he built a romantic relationship online through Facebook and went on to meet her. However, the story didn’t end exactly the way all romances do.
Book Review: The Mortal Instruments Series
Clary Fray is seeing things; vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistibly drawn towards a group of sexy demon hunters, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City – and the dangers of forbidden love.
…Says the blurb to the first book in the Mortal Instrument series, the City of Bones. Praised for her beautiful writing and creative mind, Cassandra Clare has been named the next Stephanie Meyer. With the first of the fantasy love series arriving in our cinemas this August, it’s no wonder Clare has been grouped with the Twilight author.
