Throwback Thursday: Lady Gaga's Born This Way

Sooo I'm really excited because at the end of August I'm seeing Lady Gaga in concert... so I'm like "Ohhh I need to listen to Gaga like all month!" So that I can appreciate the concert more... I've been wanting to see Gaga forever and Born This Way is my favorite... I've listened to it about a million times... but I haven't heard it recently so... I needed to listen to it again and see if it stacked up. And it pretty much did.

The weird thing though... I always kind of think of this as a perfect album... but there are so many songs I don't totally "LOVEEEEEEEE" on this. I like Bloody Mary a lot... don't love it. Electric Chapel might be my favorite of the "eh" songs... Highway Unicorn is kind of up there... I could do without the Jesus is the New Black" song... Bad Kids I think I liked when I just listened to it... but I didn't really remember it and even now I'm like "hmm... idk about this." I didn't love Marry The Night when I first heard it... but now I kind of love it... it's been stuck in my head for the last few days and I just really like it. The Queen and Fashion of His Love are also kind of ehh... I remember fashion of his love and I like it... but ehhhh.

I think some of the most underrated songs are on this album too. I really like Government Hooker, Americano, Scheibe, Hair... these are all really great songs that no one really talks about. I loveeee these! These are some of my favorite songs.

The singles might be her most iconic also... the first big Lady Gaga song was Poker Face really... I think Just Dance was her first single... but Poker Face was when people were like "this chick is good!"... but really Born This Way is what I think of when I think of Lady Gaga! It's a great song and that's what she wants to be known for. She wants to tell people "Heyyy you were born this way. You're perfect the way you are." And that's a pretty damn cool thing.

You and I and Judas were also great singles from this album too! You and I was Gaga's first big genre change and it really worked for her... not every singer can really do that... she's very talented to be able to re-invent herself with every album. One of the reasons why I love her so much... so I think that is really cool.

This was also when Gaga was big into very big production movie-style music videos. They had some great videos and I used to love watching her videos! I'd always get excited for a new one!

I think that is just about all I have to say about it... which isn't a whole lot really... but I still loved it. Can't pick a favorite song from it... but most of them are better than okay... so I'm happy with it and I'm excited for this concert!!!

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...
