Throwback Thursday: The Fame Monster

So... one album of Gaga's that I use to really love... but now I have to say I'm slightly disappointed in is The Fame Monster. I'm not disappointed in it... I just think I liked it less than I realized.

Two of the songs on this are very skippable... and I still like them more than a lot of songs by different singers... I can still listen  to them and like it. Those songs are "So Happy I could Die" and "Dance in The Dark." They aren't bad songs... but they're ones I just don't prefer listening to. Not sure why really... just not my things.

So with those 2 being "skippable" there is also another song that I really liked at the time... but now I'm like "meh..." and that is Monster. I feel like if I'm ever super angry about a guy or something- I'll listen to this... but now I'm not particularly angry at anyone and I'm just like.... "ehhh... it's okay."

The only reason I think I'm so critical of these songs is because every other song on this cd is just sooo great and so iconic. As much as I love every song on The Fame and I think those videos were awesome and different than anything that has been released previously... The Bad Romance video was a whole different Gaga entirely... and that is just awesome. Her outfits in that video... the shoes... everything was just sooo soo gorgeous and iconic. The fashion, the shoes... I still remember it all to this day... and I haven't seen the video in years. It might be my favorite Gaga video... not sure. I really love the Applause video too... ohhh and Telephone... so yeah it's one of my favorites of all time... but maybe not my total favorite.

And since I mentioned Telephone... can we just talk about this for a second and appreciate that there is a song with both Lady Gaga and Beyonce out there... I don't think it gets better than that. And I think this is one of my favorite songs because of that. It's just sooo good. I forgot that this song existed and then I heard it... and it was amazing. This might be my favorite lady gaga song ever... it's just really great. Just listen to it and jam. I had a little dance party when I rediscovered it... it was pretty awesome!

And Alejandro is really awesome. Love this video too... not as much as the other videos- but Lady Gaga looked great in it. With the brown hair and everything. It's a great video... super pretty and just a fun song. Not my favorite... but it's up there. She played that at the concert and it was a really great performance.

I didn't really mean to go over each song... but since I already sort of did... I'll just give brief thoughts on Teeth and Speechless. Teeth is so underrated. It was never a single... but it should have been probably. It's so catchy and one of my favorites. Speechless is awesome too... I don't think I like it as much as I did when it first came out. Of all the kind of "softer" gaga songs... I think it's my least favorite. But I still really love it.

So yes- this is still one of my favorites and if you haven't heard it yet.... wuttt? Listen to it!

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
