"A" IS FOR ATTRACTIVE, "Z" IS FOR ZOMBIE
Very recently, a (not to be named here) mens’ publication formulated a list of the most unattractive female celebrities, strictly in their opinion. I had heard about this through word of mouth and not by finding the list online. Instantly I stated that I didn’t want to know who had nabbed the number one spot though accidentally found out by reading entertainment headlines.
What I want to know is this: unattractive in comparison to what? In comparison to whom? What were these women being measured against? My guess would be impossibly high standards. The first thought I had was for those actually named in the list. As a celebrity, it seems most likely that shedding off negative press becomes second nature, but to me, this is over the line. How hurtful it must be to read such bullshit, knowing it’s bullshit, but also well aware that it takes a very direct and “purposeful” stab at you.
Was the point of this list pure entertainment? Probably. But in an age of media where 75% of what we read, hear and see is harmful, why create such moral destruction on purpose?

Make room for one more on the greenwagon. November’s copy of Cosmo contains an entire section on “green” beauty products that make you simply smashing while doing their part at taking care of the environment.
One for getting top marks? Burt’s Bees consider themselves Earth Friendly Natural Personal Care for The Greater Good. Their line of total body care products for the entire family, largely comprised of organic ingredients, and environmentally-friendly business practices are “the DNA of Burt’s Bees.” And further to that, the company is committed to 100% natural product formulas in addition to 100% PCR/biodegradable packaging by the year 2020.

Lastly, tomorrow sees the annual recurrence of Halloween. Not being much of one to celebrate, dress-up or get loser drunk this year, it’ll be like any other day for me. I do, however, tend to delight in movies designed to make me squirum. I considered posting my top ten frightening flicks but that’d just be superfluous. Quite obviously, if you haven’t seen The Shining, there’s no point in waiting any longer. Even to this day that is one movie I still cannot watch by myself.
Alternatively, if you’re simply looking to be grossed out, then grab my other all-time favourite, The Devil’s Rejects. Any of you who are regular readers of my blog know that this Rob Zombie-directed gore-o-rama gets a lot of praise from this girl. Why? Because if you can look past the content of this movie, there’s a lot of great acting, memorable lines and fantastic direction.
Because we all know I’m such a tease, I’ve included a clip of each.
Happy Hauntings…

Two of my favorite ‘horror’ flicks! I remember seeing the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre when it came out in the theatre….way back in the day…scared me to death and it’s nothing compared to what’s out now.
Still haven’t seen the Rob Zombie flick. I wanna check it out though. Nothing wrong with a gore fest every now and again
I LOVE Burt’s Bees.
I haven’t seen The Devil’s Rejects, but I wanted to until someone told me it was like The Hills Have Eyes, which I hated. Is it?
I really should rent myself some scary movies and watch them tomorrow as I have yet to see The Shining or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. One of these days I’ll watch them.
On a sorta related note… if you want to watch some hilarious scary movies Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness are my favourites.
I love Halloween!!! It is my absolutely favorite holiday. I started celebrating last week with the midnight showing of Saw 4. Watched House of 1,000 Corpses and Devil’s Rejects today, will watch 28 Days Later before work tomorrow, and will finish off with Hostel and Hostel 2 when I get home. Yay Halloween!! Have fun!
I am weird when it comes to creepy movies. On the one hand, my brother (whom I love to death) was totally creeped out by The Ring (the American version, not the Japanese version). Poor kid (well, he’s 30 now) he couldn’t sleep for a week. I, however, did enjoy it and wasn’t scared at all.
But ask me if I have ever seen The Exorcist. No! I wouldn’t see it. It scares the be-jesus out of me.
I would definitely recommend The Devil’s Rejects - it’s nothing like The Hills Have Eyes, particularly in that it’s actually a well-made movie.
very sweet shout out to you on MG’s site re:song…could he be the best friend you are missing?
just noticing some correlations — a bit of a detective i am
either way, i like your site, it is interesting and you seem to have your head on straight
happy halloween
I didn’t see a shout-out…just that he’s planning on maybe releasing an EP. Did I miss something?
umm err, no just a nice thing…mention of a song about you… perhaps a poor choice of words. none of my business, just an observation
i’ll go back to under my rock now…
Don’t worry about it, sweetheart.
someone wrote a song about me once
867-5309, “Jenny I got your number…” ultra romantic, sung to me all through high school ad nauseum
haha kidding, i dont’ even know Tommy Tutone, and if i did i’d kick his ass for making me sound like a skank
The Shining scared the crap out of me as a kid.
I still love it.
I haven’t seen The Devil’s Rejects.
Yet.
