Once Upon a Time Dating

The other day I was introduced to the show Pretty Little Liars, and it was surprisingly much better than I thought it would be. However, the fact that people think that show is scary in any way, shape, or form, makes absolutely no sense to me. If people really want to see a scary show, they should watch American Horror Story. For those of you who didn’t watch last year, it doesn’t even matter: the plot and characters change every season. Last season featured a family who moved into a “haunted” (to say the least) house with a long and creepy history, and next season takes place in an insane asylum. Some of the actors from last season are coming back, but as completely new characters.

The show is campy, scary, and one of a kind. It comes back October 17^th at 10 PM on Fox- tune in and prepare to pee your pants.

Although I wasn’t a huge fan of high school myself, I am a huge fan of high school movies. I love nothing more than watching cliques, cheerleading teams, and nerdy kids with braces come of age on the screen before me. Here are my top ten favorite high school movies of all time! What are yours?

1. Mean Girls
2. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
3. Clueless
4. Sixteen Candles
5. Grease
6. Superbad
7. Can’t Buy Me Love
8. Bring it On
9. Election
10. The Breakfast Club

Real Housewives who? Gallery Girls is the newest show on Bravo TV bringing crazy eyes, drunk messes, oh and art, to your Monday nights. The show features a division between the Manhattan, uptight gallery girls and the Brooklyn, artsy, (bitchy) gallery girls. Honestly, I would recap the first episode but you really have to see it to understand its greatness. One highlight, off the top of my head, was when Chantal, a lovely 90 pound girl who wears red lipstick and loose dresses, got drunk at her store opening and started mumbling about “going to Key West to cheeeeel” while she wore a net over her face. Another highlight you ask? Perhaps when Amy, who redefines the terms “crazy eyes” and “botched nose-job”, got shwasted at a gallery dinner and revealed that she slept with Eli Klein (the gallery owner) in front of his intern (Maggie) who probably also slept with him. If you aren’t excited yet to watch this show then you are boring and don’t deserve to watch it anyway.

 Gallery Girls, Bravo, Mondays, 10 PM.

I recently started watching the reality show Polyamory: Married and Dating on Showtime (Thursdays 11 PM), and let me tell you: it is insane. It documents two “relationships” in different parts of California: one is a “triad” consisting of a married couple and their girlfriend, and the other is a “pod” consisting of two married couples that just moved in together. Polyamory is the belief that love is limitless and monogamy is unnatural, which is why every person on the show has multiple lovers. Honestly, I thought through watching the show I could maybe begin to understand at least where these people are coming from, but the idea of polyamory still makes no sense to me. I can’t imagine sharing my boyfriend/ husband with other people and not being allowed to feel jealous (whenever someone on the show expresses the slightest bit of jealousy they are told that they are “going against the rules of poly” and “acting mono”). I’m usually pretty liberal about these types of things, but in this case I just can’t seem to wrap my mind around polyamory. Managing one relationship is hard enough, what would it be like to manage so many? What do you think?

I expected to love the movie Ted for a couple of reasons. First of all, I love Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane’s sense of humor in general, so I knew the writing would be hilarious. Also, I am proud to say that I am almost twenty years old and still sleep with the same stuffed doll I have slept with since I was a baby. So yeah, I felt like I would probably get where this main character’s coming from. All in all, I went into the theater expecting to see a very funny movie. What I didn’t expect was that I would be laughing out loud (which I never do) the entire time, and also be touched by the story. I have so many favorite parts/ quotes from this movie, but my favorite is probably: “I told my weed guy to step it up and he gave me that… it’s called ‘Mind Rape’, it’s actually pretty mellow. He only had three other batches: ‘Gorilla Panic’, ‘They’re coming, they’re coming!’, and something called ‘This is permanent’.”
