everdeen, ever shining (the hunger games)

hey, y'all!!!  i'm back from my break.  so much has happened since we last met.  i'll try to touch on some of the things i find most important as we travel on.  the latest thing is, of course, THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!!  i read the first book awhile ago and finished up the addictive series before february.  needless to say, i was eager to see the movie.  happy to report,i was not disappointed.  this girl, the lovely jennifer lawrence, wasn't at all what i pictured for katniss everdeen.  i thought her face was a bit too chubby and soft for a character who seemed a bit hard and hungry.  angular would have been best (and i rarely say that as a chubby cheek chick myself).  anyway, this young lady was excellent, as was the rest of the cast.  so, on behalf of the hunger games craze, here is a pic of the new inguenue reveling in her newfound fame.

twi-hard another day

like a true twi-hard fan, i pre-purchased my tickets for the movie.  can't wait to see edward and the crew again.  besides the cute love story, i love all the beautiful photo shoots i've come across since twilight (the movies) began.  here are a few more i've come across in the last couple of days (courtesy of vogue italia and tumblr).  i know kristen stewart doesn't have much range when it comes to facial expressions...but the one face she mastered is gawg-ous! pair that with her rebellious tomboy style and you've got gold.  i won't even get started on the guys (besides mentioning edward's smoldering, glittery pale look that could melt any human heart and jacob's topless teenage tirades {swoon}).  suffice to say, i'm eagerly awaiting the breaking dawn like a adolescent hormone crazed girl.
twilight archives for ya!

the crimson beauty- met costume institute gala

so the met costume institute gala took place yesterday.  last year, i did a whole run down of the dresses i liked.  this year did not impress me much.  there were a few that i fancied, of course.  but i decided to narrow it down to the one that was the most stunning (in my humble opinion).  by now you have guessed its rihanna.  the currently crimson coiffed beauty donned a lace black stella mccartney with strappy louboutins.  the peek-a-boo sides and french braids give it that pizazz that makes the look so stellar.  simply put, rihanna fenty looks gorgeous!  below are a couple of runner up dresses i enjoyed:  ashley greene and diane kruger.

2010 mtv video awards...just my thoughts, man

i got rid of my cable but because i love you so, i went visiting just so that i could watch and report back. unfortunately, i wasn't all that impressed. but here are a few thoughts as well as a few highligt images...

• gaga looked great and was so gracious. i am a big fan of her devotion to the "outsiders." some of her outfits were hits (my favorite is pictured above). big winner of the night!


• taylor swift is really working my last nerve. please, PLEASE, stop playing the victim and being so passive agressive. everyone comes across a jerk (sorry kanye) every once in a while. kanye did you a HUGE favor by distinguishing you from the rest of the pop/country blonde singers out there. write him a thank you note instead of a self-righteous boring song. next!
  
  
• drake finally put on a show in his performance. i've seem him at some concerts and wasn't impressed with his boring outfits and simple standing or walking around the stage. great improvement, sir. keep it up!


• rihanna put a different spin on her usual look. her different spin was very similar to madonna's like a virgin perfomance in the 80's. (was that the point?) her hair and outfit had a very unfinished look to it. if that was the goal then it was successful.
  
• katy perry, rihanna and nicki minaj look like they have a great time and i want to fill out an application to join in.


• never heard of florence but i LOVED the perfomance and the song.




• jared leto looks just as sexy as he did on "my so-called life" these days. besides lady gaga and eminem, he's the only one i even recall getting an award.


• while we're on the topic, why did eminem get SO many awards??? i don't get it!
• i adore sofia vergara (gorgeous and hilarious).


• eva the diva (marcille) is so gorgeous here. i feel the same about ashley greene. best dressed of the night, along with victoria justice (no clue who she is).


• kanye killed it! thats what i would like to say but i found his performance mildly entertaining. maybe my hopes were too high. the red ensemble was quite impressive, however.

i think that's all...gone til' september xoxo jenna pearle*

twilight zone

twilight time is back. yes, ladies and gentlemen, eclipse will be out on the 30th ( thats almost tomorrow). therefore, i found it fitting to post some pics of the eclipse stars. plus, in the one on the bottom, kristen is sporting that side braid i'm crazy about. both look gorgeous in all three images.

patriotic passion

feeling a bit patriotic? well then, are you feeling a bit stylish?? then put on your red white and blue!!! i think i'll be incorporating this color combo from summer into fall. its part mj, part independence day. what could go wrong?

homemade: easy breezy tee

this is just the image i was searching for: kristen stewart as joan jett in "runaways." this is the t-shirt i was telling you about. all she appeared to do was cut out the letters on a piece of cardboard, place it on the tee and spray paint inside and around. as you can see, she also added her safety pins for good measure. i can do this! or is this one of those things that look easy breezy but are not so simple? anyway, just thought i would share...

the romantic mr. cullen

here is robert pattinson, aka edward cullen, on the cover of details magazine. i only have less than half a novel left of this series before i say goodbye to bella and edward for good (well, at least until the movies come out).
