taking crazy way to far

Toddlers and Tiaras is a show on TLC about kids in pageants. Most people think this show is ridiculous and annoying because it shows five year olds dressed in little outfits wearing a lot of make-up. I personally can’t get enough of this show! Each week they have three children and their family on the show, and what they do is follow these kids through training, preparation, and the pageant. Most of the time the kids are cute and sweet but their mom is absolutely crazy! The mom will make them do these pageants and go through everything crying just so the parent feels good when they see their own kid win a trophy for being pretty. But then you also have the crazy spoiled kid with the push over parent in some episodes if you get lucky. Sometimes they have some children be on the show multiple times because they have crazy personalities. The three most famous toddlers and tiaras are Eden, McKenzie, and Alana. Eden is the top Toddler and Tiara because she has won so many pageants that she is starting to get into singing and acting. McKenzie is personally my favorite because she is so funny and spoiled. And Alana became famous because her and her family are a bunch of fat hicks from Georgia trying to win these big pageants. In this show there are two different kinds of pageants, there are natural and glitz. For natural the girls wear casual dresses with little to no make-up. Natural pageants aren’t as fun to watch as glitz because for glitz you have to go all out in order to become ultimate grand supreme (overall winner). In order to get ready for these you have to get spray tans, eyebrows done, get a flipper (fake teeth), have a 500 dollar or more bedazzled evening dress, fake eyelashes, and big hair pieces. After these five year olds have all of these things on the look like they could be twenty. But that’s what the judge likes to see, and if you don’t have all of those things you could get points deducted. I can understand why some parents don’t like this show but I think it’s great. Maybe I'll even enter my kid in a pageant or two when I become a parent!;) (word count 390)

little miss sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine is a movie about a little girl named olive who really wants to be in beauty pageants. Olive comes from a lower middle class family and the last thing they want to do is drive their eight year old daughter across the country to a pageant she got accepted into. But they do it anyways. They are also not a very happy family. Olive’s mom’s brother tried to commit suicide but failed so now he is in rehab and has to stay with their family until he gets better, so he is all depressed. Olives father Richard is a rude man who only cares about his business and being a winner even though he is a pretty big loser. The threes olives brother who is taking an oath of silence until he becomes a jet pilot in the navy so he hasn’t talked in a long time. Last but not least there is Olive’s grandfather who is addicted to heroin but probably the only person who actually cares about Olive and her pageants. The whole movie is about them taking a trip across the country and the problems they come across. First of all their van doesn’t start unless you give it a push then start it up. Also when they stop at a hotel over night the next morning Olives grandpa wouldn’t wake up so they took him to a hospital and they pronounced him dead. They didn’t have time to drive back to their own house or stay in the state and fill out the death certificate so they took him with them in their trunk. Later the dad honks the horn but the horn wouldn’t stop honking so they had to drive down the highway with the horn going. Because of that a police pulled them over and the police went to check the trunk but luckily he didn’t notice the dead body (I don’t know how). Another thing is while there at the hospital Olive picked up some tests to see if your color blind and her brother took the test and failed. You can’t be a jet pilot if your color blind so he has a melt down and finally talks. They finally got to the competition and Olive since she is kind of chunky and ugly she had no clue what she was doing on stage. She embarrassed the family at first with her dance UT then they embraced it and got on stage with her. Unfortunately they got kicked out of the pageant and banned from ever being in another pageant in the state of California. They were kind of upset at first but then they realized it’s not a big deal and were just happy to be a family. They got really close because of the trip and so it was a good thing they traveled all the way out there. ( word count 490)

baby mama

Baby Mama is about a woman who has tried every way to get a baby but it just won’t happen so she gets a surrogate. At first Kate (the woman wanting a baby) gets interviewed by a woman (Angie) who isn’t as classy as she wanted but well enough. Angie picks Kate and so they do the procedure and Angie tells Kate that it worked. So Kate is really excited that she is actually going to be a mom. She starts getting very controlling and when Angie gets in a fight with her boyfriend and moves in with Kate that’s when it’s the worse. Kate won’t let Angie eat anything fattening or processed everything has to be organic. She also won’t let her dye her hair or cause any arm to her body. They get in a lot of fights over stupid things. You figure that Angie wasn't really pregnant in the very beginning and was just in it for the money but ten she really does get pregnant but it’s not Kate’s it Angie’s boyfriends. So Kate can’t forgive her and kicks her out. Through the whole movie Kate gets a boyfriend and they hang out a lot but he doesn’t approve of surrogacy so she keeps it’s a secret. In the very end of the movie you figure out that Kate is pregnant somehow and it’s her boyfriends.so everybody ends up happy in the end. This movie is so funny because both of the main characters are comedians on SNL. My favorite part in the movie is either when Kate tries to get Angie to take a huge pill or when they go to birthing class and the instructor thinks they’re lesbians. Kate tries to get Angie to take a pill to make sure her baby doesn’t have a pinhead but the pill is huge and Angie refuses. She tries so many things like putting it in a sandwich and forcing it down it just doesn’t happen. When they go to the birthing class the instructor it a ditz and she has a really bad lisp and thinks that Angie and Kate are lesbians. It’s funny because they do stuff in the class where it makes both of them uncomfortable because it’s a birthing class for couples. It’s a hilarious movie and if you haven’t seen it, I would suggest you go see it even though it’s been out for a few years. (word count 427)

Drake & Josh

Drake and Josh is a hilarious television show that use to be on Nickelodeon. It was about two step brothers one of them is really popular ad attractive while the other one is a chubby nerd that has to follow the rules. Drake (the attractive one) is always getting Josh (the nerdy one) in trouble. It’s so funny because whenever they get into a bad situation drake just blows it off but Josh has a complete meltdown. They also have a little sister named Megan. She is probably the worst little sister you could ever imagine because she acts like a little angel around the parents but is a complete devil child when she talks to the guys. She also plans really good ideas to prank people. In one episode Drake and Josh were standing in their room then suddenly the floor collapsed and they fell through the ground, they thought it was a coincidence until they saw Megan standing over them laughing. So she is just a really mean little sister that I’m glad I don’t have. One of my favorite episodes is when Drake and Josh decide to get back at their sister. Megan just got a new telescope in the mail and she was using it every night to look at the stars. So Josh being the nerd he is made a CD that looked like an alien ship and set it up with the telescope so when Megan looked through it looked like there was an alien ship up in the sky. When Megan went to go use it and saw the UFO she freaked out and told everybody but nobody believed her. Drake and Josh took this prank one step further they set up a device and told Megan she can try to communicate to the aliens through it. But instead of her actually communicating with the alien it was going to be them on the other end. Finally to end the prank they dressed in alien outfits and humped out when Megan was using her telescope she was finally filled in on what they were doing and was really mad. So one night Drake, Josh, and Megan were all outside with the telescope and suddenly they saw lights coming from behind their gate then suddenly what they thought were actual aliens came from behind the gate and chased all of them. Megan acted scared but really she was just getting back at them for what they did to her. I love this episode because it’s so funny. No matter how hard Drake and Josh try they can never prank Megan as well as she can prank them. The funniest part about it is she is so young and Drake and Josh are teenager boys who can never figure out what she will do next. This was such a good show and really upset when they ended it. I still see it on from time to time and it makes me really happy because this was a classic.(Word count: 507)

waterboy

Water Boy is a hilarious movie starring Adam Sandler. It takes place in Louisiana and Adam comes from a family of just him and his mom and he is not very smart because he has never been put in school. He is thirty years old and is a water boy for college football team who doesn’t appreciate how much works he puts into making the perfect water for them. He ends up getting fired from that job so he tries to find another college to water boy for. Bobby eventually finds a very low class college with a horrible football team, he doesn’t even get paid but he still does it for fun. Well they start to make booby mad by making fun of him and one day he just snaps and tackles one of the football players. The coach wants to put him on the team but he doesn’t think mama will let him play. The coach tries to convince mama to let Bobby play football but she thinks football is the “Devil”. Bobby starts to play behind her back and the football team slowly starts to get better. They eventually get to the top of the charts and so does Bobbies name. Mama figures out what Bobby was doing and she pretends to be really sick and goes to the hospital. Bobby quits football right before they need him for the big game. In the end mama admits that she was faking and lets him play. They win and Bobby gets married to his dream girl. Even though the story line seems pretty Hollywood the movie is so funny just because the characters are so ridiculous. The mom thinks everybody is the devil. Bobby is so stupid and naive. The coach’s assistant speaks gibberish and nobody can understand a word he is saying. And of course it takes place in the south and the point of the movie is showing the worse of them. Even though it’s a stupid funny it’s still a good movie and anybody would enjoy this movie. (word count 380)

Beauty fa daysss

Lately I have had an obsession with Lauren Conrad. If you don’t know who she is, she was on Hills which was a reality show that used to be on MTV but now she is an author. She had some bad experiences with TV and wanted to get away so that’s why she is an author now. She has written fiction and nonfiction books. I haven’t read her fiction books but I do own one of her nonfiction books and I absolutely love it! It’s a book that gives you pointers on how to do makeup, nails, hair, and how to take care of your skin. I’ve learned so many things that I would have never guessed would work. One of my favorite chapters is the skin chapter. Lauren Conrad talks about how take care of your skin and what is best for it. One really interesting thing I learned is that where you have zits is caused by different things. For instance if have zits on your forehead they are caused by stress, zits in between your eyebrows are caused by eating bad, and zits on your cheeks are caused by your immune system, so if you were sick you might get zits on your cheek. I also learned that any skin care lotion, wash, or cream that is scented is bad for your skin because even though you like the smell, they add unneeded chemicals to get the smell which can be dangerous for your skin. Another one of my favorite chapters is the makeup section. These days a lot of girls like to wear A LOT of makeup, so she teaches you how to apply, what looks best on certain skin types, and what you shouldn’t do when it comes to putting on makeup. Some of the things are pretty obvious like don’t have foundation lines, don’t have raccoon eyes, and don’t wear crazy eye shadow. Lauren Conrad taught me where to put my concealer, foundation and bronzer. I use to think that you just spread it evenly but there are actually places to put them to make your skin and face structure look better. This book helped me a lot, it taught me things I would have never guessed worked, or was bad. I love makeup and hair and trying new things with it, so this book opened me to new things. If you like these kinds of things I would highly recommend that you go out and buy it. It’s a great book and after you read it, you will look great too! (word count 445)

The Notebook... Enough said

Lemme tell yah The Notebook is a classic love story and is loved by millions. It’s about an old couple where the wife has Alzheimer and the husband goes and reads her journal to her about how they met in hopes that she will remember him. The movie starts out with the old couple and it switches between them being old and young. Noah (husband) and Allie (wife) come from opposite worlds, Noah is very poor and Allie has never worked a day in her life. At first Noah tries so hard just to get Allies attention but she just blows him off. Noah doesn't give up easily and when he sees something he wants he’s just got to have it! After a while Allie starts to fall for Noah and soon after they fall in love and are inseparable. Of course Allies parents don't approve of her dating this dirty low class guy and they make her move and go to college when they are still madly in love. Noah sends her letters every day for a year but he never gets a response and after the year goes by he stops trying and hopes to move on. It turns out that Allies mom has been keeping the letters hidden from her so she thinks Noah moved on but in reality he hasn't. So Allie finds another guy and gets engaged but right as this happens Noah shows up in her life and she has to make the decision between the two. In the end you figure out that Noah and Allie are the old couple and it’s a very touching moment. Notebook is my favorite romantic movie for one of two reasons; the first one is because it made me cry and the second reason is because Noah is played by Ryan Gosling who is my favorite actor. They do such a good job of not letting you figure out that the old people are the couple until the end. And when the moment hits you where you figure out you just can’t help but cry! My favorite part in the whole movie is when Allie and Noah go on the boat ride on Noah's lake and its starts rain. You figure out that Noah wrote all the letters and he didn't want to give up, he still cared and so did Allie. It’s very intense and even though I have seen the movie a billion times I still get goose bumps when they yell at each other in the rain. I can’t even start to begin how amazing this movie is! It doesn't matter whether you're a girl or guy you still need to see this movie. Anybody of any age would enjoy it; it’s the classic love story. And if you haven't seen it yet, go out and buy it because you will want to watch it over and over again! (486 Words)
