The Pipettes & Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

I once took a film course on American cinema and saw the camp classic, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls." There's a party scene within the movie that is directly represented in the music video "Pull Shapes" by The Pipettes. I had never made the connection between them until I saw BtVotD again last night with Ryan - it basically made me love the Pipettes even more! If you can make it happen, get your hands on BtVotD. It's ridiculously hilarious and you WILL find yourself quoting it more often than not.

Post-Winter Recess

2010 is definitely looking up and after my long winter break I think it's time to get back on the saddle of this blogging hobby of mine. Technology is always booming and I'm VERY SURE the new year has a lot of exciting new trends and techs to share with consumers!

Once my final semester starts and I'm back in an actual time schedule, I'll be rackin' up the posts and actually reconnect to the Internet.

Today I'm going to see The Princess and the Frog with my Children's Literature class (it's a two-week winter intensive). It's Disney's first classic animation-princess film since Mulan in 1998. Let's see how that ends up - I'm being positive but skeptical.

[Update: The movie wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. If you love Disney movies, this is certainly a contemporary Disney princess film. Without giving too much away, Tiana's character is a very  positive role model for girls everywhere and never much of a damsel-in-distress. Disney gets a cookie.)
