Goodbye Annette....

When I heard that Annette Funicello had passed away, my entire heart broke in half. It's not just because she was an extraordinary actress or that when she sung she instantly put a smile on your face, no my reason for being so incredibly upset of her passing was because she fought such a strong battle with her disease. Annette Funicello was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 25 years ago, and she never stopped fighting. In later years of her life, she was completely unable to walk or talk. which completely devastates me because she brought so much joy with her bright disposition and her uplifting personality. The thing that really destroys me most is that my own Grandmother died from complications from MS. My Grandmother went through the exact same hell as Annette, and I just feel like I'm losing my Grandmother all over again. I never knew my Grandmother(she died in 1976 at the age of 37) but I always pictured her to have the personality of Annette Funicello. So as  I end this blog post, I just want every one of you guys and gals to cherish the life you have, and even if things get rough to always look at the positive things that have happened or what may happen. Never forget your life could always be worse than what it is. Rest in Peace Dear Annette, you will NEVER be forgotten and you will ALWAYS be cherished and loved.

Top 4 Movie Characters That I Would Marry In A Heartbeat...

I know that everyone who watches a movie will tell you of a character that he or she has had a crush on at some point. I thought it would be fun to tell you some of my favorite movie character crushes, and if you want you can post a comment telling me who your crushes were as well. Enjoy!

4.) Peter Lawford as Laurie in "Little Women"(1949)

His character is so much fun and romantic and every single time I watch this movie I get so irritated and mad at Jo(June Allyson) for treating him so poorly. He is such a sweet guy and quite a dish as well! 

3.) Peter Lawford as Tommy Marlowe in "Good News"(1947)

Yet again, Lawford is teamed up with Allyson again and their chemistry exudes off the screen as well. I love that his character, Tommy is so oblivious that he doesn't realize the wonderful girl right in front of him. His character is very charming and will go to anything to get the girl of his dreams. Who doesn't love when Tommy and Connie(June Allyson) sing "The French Song". My gosh they should have sung more songs together! I also don't want to forget to mention that amazing accent of Lawford. My gosh every time I hear his voice, I squeal with excitement. He was so adorably handsome. 

2.) Jeff Daniels as Tom Baxter and Gil Shepherd in "The Purple Rose of Cairo"(1985)

When the audience first meets Tom Baxter, he actually comes off quite bland but once he pops off the screen and charms the pants off of Mia Farrow's character, he's a different man. As charming as Tom Baxter is, Gil Shepherd is the real one and the man who expresses his feelings to the fullest. The ending  is so depressingly sad but honest and true. 

1.) Jeffrey Lynn as Felix Dietz in "Four Daughters"(1938)

Before I mention anything about Felix's actions, I just want to point out how awesomely amazing his name is- Felix Dietz! That is just such a grand name but what works best in his favor is how he always stands by Ann Lemp(Priscilla Lane) throughout everything. He is such a stand up guy and who doesn't love a guy who can make you smile?? Not only can this guy make you smile when you are having a bad day but he's such a handsome fella, you will soon forget your troubles ever existed when he's around.  In my honest opinion, Felix exudes all of the qualities that I like in a guy. He's a genuine guy who never ever loses sight of what he truly wants in life. If there ever was a guy like Felix Dietz out there in the world, I'd probably faint. You seldom see gentleman anymore in this society. 

Just Because....

I haven't posted a new picture of Jeffrey Lynn in so long so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Lol New blog post tomorrow!!! See ya then! :)

What's Happening to Little Old Me....

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been absent. I have so many spurts of not going on the Internet but as soon as I get my own laptop, I'll be blogging a lot more. Aside from not blogging as much, I've been working steadily on my school work(where I just got an 99% and 95% in my last classes!) and I've been working very hard on gaining weight and staying healthy(which I feel I'm accomplishing!) So far I've gained 8 pounds, which I'm super happy about but I'm determined more than ever to gain more weight in order to be at a healthy weight.

 Oh just in case I forgot to tell you guys why I'm so determined in gaining weight, it's because I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Before I was diagnosed I would get these severe stomach pains that caused me to be in the ER six times last year from March to May. I've always been very very thin and I couldn't ever figure out why I couldn't gain weight until my diagnosis. I now am avoiding ALL gluten products and anything at all with traces of wheat in it and I think I'm doing  a fairly good job of it. Before I was diagnosed I weighed about 102 pounds at 5'5 and now I weigh 110 pounds!!! I'm slowly getting there but I know that I can do it!

The best part is that I have so many people in my life who are so supportive about new food diet and they will even try gluten free foods with me. My older brother's girlfriend made me a whole batch of gluten free Macaroni and Cheese and it was absolutely delicious and she is more than happy try different gluten free foods. My Mom is going completely gluten free and will try every gluten free food out there, regardless of what it is. Another group of people that are extremely supportive are my absolute closest friends- Kate, Casey, Millie, and Sarah! You guys have been so amazingly supportive to me and I couldn't have better friends! :) I'm so thankful for all of these people in my life. They are all so amazing.

So I just wanted to let you guys know that I am still here and once I have my own laptop, I'll probably be blogging every couple of days. So I'll see you all soon......

~Always Remembered..... Never Forgotten~

It was today in 1990 and in 1993, that we lost two of the greatest actresses of the great old Hollywood times - Ms.Barbara Stanwyck who died at the age of 82, and Ms.Audrey Hepburn who died at the age of 63.  Their performances will live on forever and their memories will live on through their films. Today take some time to remember the talents of both of these wonderful ladies, and not the passings. Rest in Peace Ms.Stanwyck and Ms.Hepburn You'll be loved and cherished forever.

Annette Hanshaw

A few days ago, I was really dying to listen to some 1920's/1930's and I couldn't possibly think of one particular singer to listen to, so I browsed on iTunes to see what I could find, and that is where I found Annette Hanshaw. I knew of her a while ago, thanks to my very good friend Kate, but I didn't really hear many of her songs until now. Now I haven't heard every song of hers, but gosh is she amazing or what??? If you aren't familiar with her, I'm here to introduce you to her songs and get you guys acquainted with her wonderful songs! I hope you all enjoy and even if you already have heard of her, just bask in her loveliness. :) 

            

"Would You Like to Take a Walk? - My absolute favorite song of hers!

"You'll Always be the Same Sweetheart to Me"

"You're the One I Care For"

"Am I Blue?"

New Post Coming Tomorrow or rather later on today....

I just wanted to let you guys know I will be posting later on tonight/today but I thought I'd post something that I would thought was highly amusing. Hope you all enjoy! :D
