Cat Army

Ryan Gosling tells us about a secret cat army created by Disney. LOLz.

Bonjour, Bernice, I Love Your New Wig

I. AM. DYING.

"Hey girl... hey girl... hey girl"

"I just finished the most ahhh-mazing story..."

"I can hear you, bitches."

"That's how do you do it, bitch."

"That is a wig, bitch... Told you it was a wiiiiiiig!"

Fantasy vs. Reality

I am currently stuck in a sparkly haze of Disney magic. And that's quite alright by me. Last night I saw Tangled, and you might be saying, "Allie: why in the world did you go spend $11 on an animated movie that looks kind of hokey?" And my answer would be something like, "SHUT UP!" Just kidding.

Movies like Tangled are what I grew up with. I mean, the first movie I ever saw was Lady and the Tramp, for goodness sake! So, these Cinderellas, Peter Pans, and Sleeping Beautys really get to me; like, restore my childhood innocence, my belief in true love conquering all (baaaarrrrfffff), and my tendency towards pretending life is a musical.

So why wouldn't I see Tangled, a retelling of the Rapunzel fairytale, about a princess who doesn't know she's a princess, and wants to see the world but is psychologically stunted thanks to her overprotective mother.

This is my dilemma: In the last 24 hours, I uttered the phrase "I'm not looking for Mr. Right, I'm looking for Mr. Right Now" more than once. Corny? Yes. But it's sort of the truth; I'm in such an odd state-of-mind romantically speaking. And then I'm reminded of that deep-rooted love I have for Disney, and stories that end in a happily ever after sort of manner....

Maybe in my fantasies, I'll have that true love with petty thieves, princes under magical spells, and swashbuckling fellas... and in reality I'll just keep hooking up with okay dudes. God, that's depressing.


PS: I keep listening to this song over and over again. Zachary Levi, I believe you are The One.

What's your favorite Disney movie??

I haven't been to Disneyland for four years, which, for a So Cal girl, is a pretty big deal.

I'm longing to skip down Main Street,
flirt with handsome princes,
sit next to ghosts,
fly to Neverland,
and work up the courage to go on Space Mountain (because I've always been too scared to ride it!)

Anyone up for a quick jaunt over to the happiest place on Earth?

The Skeleton Dance

When I was a wee little girl, no bigger than a woodpecker (name that reference), my mom would check out old Disney cartoons on VHS from the Santa Barbara Public Library. Silly Symphony would always have cool little shorts that were very old fashioned, probably from the 1930s and 40s.
Here is one of my all-time favorites. Such awesome animation.
