Throwback Thursday: Lady Gaga Artpop Review

So this I was actually pleasantly surprised to listen to again. Artpop was my least favorite Lady Gaga cd… and honestly… idk if I can say that anymore. I liked it way more than I thought I would. I think I’ve only listened to it all the way through once before this… and I understand why… but at the same time- I’d like listening to these with all the other Gaga songs on Shuffle or something. 

There’s only one song on this that I really don’t like. Jewels and Drugs is just not my thing… I didn’t really like the rap in it… I didn’t feel like there was enough Gaga on it. I also am not a fan of R.Kelly as a person… he’s a very talented singer and entertainer… I actually watched all of Trapped in The Closet… but I know he’s had some pretty bad scandals in the past… and I just can’t really support him as a person. I heard him at a club recently and I was like “I feel funny dancing to this because I don’t like R Kelly…” I’m not a club person. 

Anyway other than that I really like all the songs… but they are all very Dancy and very sexy… and I kind of wished there was just one song like Speechless or You and I to kind of break it up. Gypsy was kind of like that… but with the energy of this cd… I feel like there should be something a little bit earlier. It’s just very very dancy and it’s totally the opposite of Joanne. It’s so amazing how the same singer did both of these cds. 

So favorite songs on the cd… Aura, Venus,G.U.Y and Sexxx Dreams used to be my favorites… and I still really like them. But I have to say I love Gypsy, Swine, Mary Jane Holland, and Applause a lot too. Applause was always one of my favorite singles from Lady Gaga and I feel like it’s such an underrated song. I was surprised she performed it on her Joanne tour and I really loved that performance! It’s also one of my favorite music videos ever. Ohhh and i love the song Artpop… it’s just really great! 

Alright… now I have to rank my favorite Gaga Cds… 

5. The Fame Monster 
4. Artpop 
3. The Fame 
2. Joanne 
Born This Way 

I’m kind of surprised at this order… I knew Born This Way is my total favorite ever… surprised I like Joanne so much! It’s so different… but I just really love all the songs. It’s a good one! 

Okay! That is the end of the Lady Gaga Throwback Thursday Extravaganaza… kind of. I will have a review of American Horror Story: Hotel within the next few weeks… maybe next week… I might do a Taylor Swift Throwback Thursday because I haven’t started watching Hotel again… we’ll see what happens lol. 

Byee!

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...
