Bully

The hubs and I were lucky enough to get VIP passes from COCA (Council On Child Abuse) to see a special viewing of "Bully" tonight. This film is a must-see for anyone who has been a victim or knows someone who has been bullied.What I took away from this film was that silence and apathy can be deadly. 

When I was a teen, I was bullied for an entire year (7th grade). It made me sick to my stomach to go to school and no one seemed to think it was a big deal. Luckily, she moved on to another girl by 8th grade. She was insecure and hurting other's made her feel superior. Cyber bullies are now wreaking havock in the lives of teens everywhere. Bullies aren't limited to kids (as most bloggers know ;) - so let's stand up and try to teach all kids 
that this is wrong... It hurts. Love and action seems to be the answer.

A special thanks to COCA for the passes!

We walked around Ludlow Avenue afterwards and gosh, 

do I love the atmosphere here! Very Bohemian and serene.

This fashionista was happy to let me get a shot of her!

Program Alice: Activated !!! / Guilty Pleasure Movies

Nothing like a Bad Ass chick in a trench coat with knives and garters !!!

I know, this is the fantasy image of every 14 yr.old boy on the planet, but I like it. I am still alive, but still sick, so a movie-fest is in full swing. I am a Nintendo gamer from way back. Yep. Me. Resident Evil is a series of games that would keep you on the edge of your sofa for hours on end, screaming "Watch Out!!! Birds!!!" and so on. The movies are really bad, but Milla Jovoich as Alice, can kick some @ss ! Packing machine guns and slinging blades to kill the zombies before they bite and turn you into walking cannibals. A super-chick. And wearing a trench, layers and boots with leggings and garters. What's not to like? Well, bad acting, but who cares when u get to see a tiny girl busting it up! Not a Zen movie, nor an Oscar winning indie, but I think I'll be Alice on Halloween. And she's not killing people, they are zombies who want to eat you!!! A thunderstorm is approaching, so I will get back to The Chronicles Of Riddick, a Vin Diesel kick-@ss-a-thon on planet Creamatoria with necromancers !!! See ya soon...............

I love this outfit !!!

( Drag trench behind a fast moving truck on a gravel road first.)

( Statement necklace : a row of ammo.)

( Signature Piece. Get it ? ;)

Grrrr !!!.......................

This ain't no SJP movie, Grrr..............

( Though I will be renting Sex in the City 3 when it arrives. Gotta see the outfits!)

At the premier in Tokyo. What a dress! Her statement necklace sure isn't ammo! I wish she'd wore chunkier, darker shoes. Almost too pretty, ya think? Sort of Bridesmaidesque. (Disclaimer: Love her!!!) Wonder what she has in the clutch? Smokes and gum and a lipstick. Bet Ya!
