For when you're sick of perfection

If you've had a whole Saturday spent watching seemingly perfect girls on YouTube that never appear to have a single flaw, imperfection or even a pimple in their life and it has made you feel like a dowdy individual that has not got out of your pjs all day (what.. I don't do that..er..)

Here is your little pick-me-up!
I don't know why, this really made me laugh!

It's a whole post called 'Pretty girls make Ugly faces' it really made me laugh! I love when people can poke fun at themselves and the way they look, and would only ever let the world see pictures of themselves looking made up and like perfection!
Here are my favourites:

Lets go to the movies: Pitch Perfect

The quick review is:
Pitch Perfect hit a bum note with me

The long review is:

Pitch Perfect as a concept never really struck me as something that I would be overly interested in, it just sounded like a singing variant of the Step Up films which never particularly interested me... but THEN

I saw a (misleading) billboard that desribed Pitch Perfect as a cross between Ted and Bridesmaids. I quite liked Ted although I found it sad, and I love love looove Bridesmaids, it's up there in my top five so I thought 'sign me up' anything that is half as funny and brilliant as Bridesmaids is worth seeing, so I thought.

What Pitch Perfect actually was, is more like High school Musical becomes University Musical.

I have no problem with High school Musical, but there's a time and a place for it! So I was a little dissapointed as I didn't laugh at all.


The story is focused on a single greeby/emo girl that comes across as a bit spoilt and a bit like she's trying too hard to come across as 'different' or 'quirky' who is in no way funny.





She joins a hobby of singing in a failing acapella singing group at University along with a bunch of other characters, the funniest (although still not funny) being Fat Amy (I'm not being rude, that's actaully what she calls herself) who dances like a mermaid:



Aside from that it's film cliche after cliche, boy meets girl, steals a glance, bla bla bla...

I guess it's great if you're looking for something lighthearted to pass the time, but it's certainly not a laugh-out-loud comedy

Jump into a painting!

You may remember a while back me posting about my friend who got engaged under the Eiffel Tower!
It sounded so perfect and fun that I wanted to combine that into what I would get them for an engagement present, I decided on maybe a canvas of the Eiffel Tower.

After looking around and feeling mostly uninspired by what I found I decided to commission a local artist to do the job properly!

Just a few days later I had this:

I love just about every little piece of it. The incredible detail of the structure must have had to have been done with the steadiest hand in the whole world!
Plus, the lush green lawn and blue skies make it seem like such a perfect, quiet place.

I want to be sitting between those neat hedges with you! We could be eating french pastry with the rumble of Paris traffic in the background while the sun shines on us!
