Shera the Great talks: Films

Slasher horror villians....

I want to talk about the new 'Nightmare on Elm street', theres a few things i just have to get off my chest....

Am i asking for too much these days when i want a horror movie to actually scare me...

For starters the gritty, despicable, 'shivers up the spine' aspect of the classics have totally gone, (see Rob zombie's annihilation of 'Halloween' for evidence).
This 'new improved' Freddie just wasn't cutting it, his burns were so well done that it actually made me kinda feel sorry for him (as opposed to terrified...bit of a problem),and even his voice started to get comical after a while.The original Fred used to keep me awake at night in total horror...this freddie couldnt keep me awake to watch the whole film.

I dont know, maybe a 18 thousand word dissertation about killers and 10 years of watching horror has de-sensitised me to what's acceptable, and whats not, (the day you can eat a chilli con carni whilst comfortably watching 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', is the day you know you're a bit messed up). I just expected more.

how many times can i think 'he's behind you' and low and behold his trilby pops up in the background....

oh and more blood in future....I've never seen such a tame slasher movie!

she-ra is not impressed

Shera the Great talks: Americana

Americana-It sounds like a coffee, (from starbucks), but its actually a fashion MOVEMENT. Yes. stateside goes global with triple denim layering, varsity jackets, wonderwoman hightops and old school slouchy t-shirts.

It may sound gruesome initially, (i got flashbacks of new kids on the block and clarissa explains it all), but the key is to avoid overdoing it. No-one's saying you have to look like a douche to pull off this trend (it was hard enough adjusting to harem pants). The trick is to either do it in parts, rather than a top-to-toe denim extravaganza.

Think red, white and blue...its pretty simple. red lipstick (she-ra loves MAC lip-satin in rebel), blue jeans (7 for mankind, true religion, or Levis), white wedges and a simple white T. No need to unleash the dungarees, the cowboy boots, or anything that could potentially turn into a disaster.

Think: stripes (we've been doing stripes for years...why stop now), stars (dust off your 2008 star prints), and polka-dots. clean cut, simple, ambercrombie/hollister, Gap Ad circa 1995.

Do NOT think: sailor, cowgirl, 'topgun' or cabin crew.

Shera the Great says...

I can't WAIT for the Lib Dem/Tory 'alliance'.
How very modern to let two opposing parties unite and rule the country.
It'll be like Batman and The Joker becoming friends...

The Kool Aid Kid Contemplates: What Girls Are Made Of

I came across this poem on 1kwords’ deviantART profile and wanted to share it with you all.

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.

Spiders and lice and wee little mice, that’s what little girls are made of.

Alabaster skin and emerald eyes and ruby red lips to hide all her lies, that's what little girls are made of.

A forked silver tongue and a head full of bats, pierced dimpled cheeks and claws like a cat, that's what little girls are made of.

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.

False promises and lies made through half open eyes, with angelic eyes and feminine wiles, that’s what little girls are made of.

An appetite for money and a c*#t made of honey, that’s what little girls are made of.

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of,

And deceit and pain and betrayal for gain, that’s what little girls are made of...

I can admit that women can be c*#ts. Can you?

XOXO The Kool Aid Kid
