A Day at the Beach

It is now the middle of January so it can only mean one thing. The annual watching of The OC!!! Admittedly one of my favorite days of the year. We open our house to al those that would like to watch, make snacks, and power watch as many episodes as we can. One might say it is my Super Bowl.

I planned the menu, very important, this morning and think that these will provide some good nourishment for the day. Oh and a bottle of tequila. I will share our cocktail choices on Monday!

Have a great weekend.

A Time Gone By

Do you ever wonder what life might have been like in a time gone by? I do. It does not help that I love period pieces done by the BBC, like say Pride and Prejudice.  A group of artist from wroth100.com came together to create this great compilation on images of celebrities. The twist being that they were all places in Renaissance styled paintings. Interesting how some fit right in!

I originally came across this series on Beautiful Life, and you can find a ton of other images there like Johnny Depp and, Drew Barrymore. Well worth the visit!

skins, the original

I am sure by now everyone has heard the controversy over the MTV show Skins. With threats of child pornography, most of the cast is under 18, the show has been pulled back from it’s original vision. I have not seen the show, but am sure that I will check it out eventually, because let’s face it, I love trashy teenage drama!

Skins is based on the original show, Skins from England. Think The Office England turns into The Office USA. My lovely husband found the original show on Netflix and we have been busy watching it ever since. If you have Netflix, some time, and are in the mood for some fantastic British TV I would suggest that you check it out!
