The Beautiful Dead:Jonas review

Since I can't write novel or study I might as well do something useful. This is a review for the Beautiful dead book 1.

Synopsis and back cover

  Eden Maguire lives in both Colorado and the UK. Her admiration for Emily Bronte's classic, Wuthering Heights, ties in with her fascination for the dark side of life and informs her portrayal of the restless, romantic souls in The Beautiful Dead.


When Darina’s boyfriend, Phoenix, is the fourth student to die from Ellerton High School, she feels her sanity start to slip away. Why fight when everything is bleak and gray? For Darina, there is no beauty left in the world. She is certain that she’s going crazy when she sees him, and the other high school fatalities, in an abandoned barn. But when Phoenix kisses her, she’s convinced he’s come back… to life? Jonas, Summer, Arizona and Phoenix have been guided back from death by the enigmatic and frightening Hunter, a “babysitter” for souls returned from the dead. The rules stipulate that they can remain in the world of the living for up to one year in order to set right a wrong linked to their deaths. In exchange for being allowed to see Phoenix, Darina agrees to help the undead teens find justice, starting with Jonas—whose year is nearly up! Keeping a barn full of animated, tattooed corpses a secret becomes increasingly difficult as rumors of ghosts and strange happenings rip through the small community. Grief stricken, the townspeople mobilize groups of bikers to explore the country around the town. Darina must discover who is behind Jonas’s fatal motorcycle accident—without becoming a victim herself—and keep the secret of the Beautiful Dead. She would sacrifice anything to help her beloved Phoenix find peace, but setting him free means losing him forever…


I did start the book because I liked the cover and the blurb on the back of the book. These were the first and last things I liked. This is the stupidest book I've read by far. First of all, who names their main character Darina? Darina for crying out loud! And it's not only her name. Jonas, Arizona, Phoenix (!) Summer. Urg, dear God. It might just be me but I can't read a book if I don't like the names.
  And anyway, say, I got past that. What is wrong with plot? What was the writer thinking? We are suddenly placed in the middle of nowhere where Darina sees her dead friends perform a ritual. How the f**ck did she  get there or why no one knows.  Then we have to go through watching Darina get chased by invisible wings and shut out every around her because she's oh so very sad. And when she finds her dead now zombie love Phoenix they just act like nothing happened.
  Wait, I haven't told you the worst part. Darina loves Phoenix. Forever. And ever. D+P=L.F.E. Seriously, she's just a teen love who is being dramatic. This whole thing reminds me of lame soap operas.
 "I love you Phoenix. We'll be together forever and nothing is gonna keep us apart."  I mean seriously they dated for 3 months. How can she love him soooooo much?
  I hate this book, I hate it. I can't even bring myself to care for the characters much less 'connect' with them. The Beautiful Dead is currently laying on my bathroom. I try to read some while I pee. But even then I can't. It's too awful. Please save your time and money and DON'T buy this book.

Taylor Momsen a.k.a the girl who had a supressed childhood and decided to become a slutty rock n' roller

So up until so far (meaning 3-4 months ago) I thought that Taylor Momsen was this cute little girl who played  a cute role on Gossip Girl. She was nothing special. Pretty blonde but hey there're many cute blondes out there.
 That was until Taylor decided that she wanted to be a rock star. "Suppressed childhood" she said. "My parents took me to Ford(modelling agency) at the age of 2. I didn't want to work but I had no choice." she said. So far I'm bearing with the girl. These really sound like shitty parents. As she also noted "When I'm on stage I am myself."

It's not the slutty clothes that bother me. Or the garters,or the panda eyes or even the zombie pout in every picture.  It's Momsen's recent brat syndrome. Apparently little Miss J thinks she's too much of a star to deal with simple things like say Gossip Girl shootings. Tim Gunn who guested on episode said that "She's a brat acting like a diva. She's couldn't even remember her lines because she was constantly texting with her Blackberry." Some girl Taylor must be.
And let's not forget the legendary "The Pretty Reckless is pretty much me."  Oh please Taylor get off your high horse. You might have a great voice what-so-ever and write great songs but let me tell you a secret. Modesty isn't a fucking killing disease.
Just for the record this is how she used to be.

Anyway see you soon!

NYX review!

Okay, so I decided to post a tiny review of the palettes I recently ordered and received from Cherry Culture.

First palette is For your eyes only "Beautiful Green" and I looooove it! The colors are so pigmented and soft. And for the price! It's a steal. Here are some picies (new word LOL)

The second palette is the smokey look kit. Well. I guess I should expect as much from an 8$ palette but the previous one was so great I was very disappointed with this. Pics:

Two of the colors are actually nice. But urg. 

Oh same goes for the bronze smokey look kit.

See you soon!

24 American Apparel ads that'll make you go: "Whoa there! Whaaat?"

[Monster V]
Probably most of you know  that AA(American Apparel) is a basic clothing store that as the brand name suggests was founded in the US and since then has expanded in many countries around the world. What most you didn't know though --including me up until know-- is that there is actually an AA scandal. AA's chairman Dov Charney was accused for sexual harassment of at least three female employees. And  not only that, but lovely Dov is known to walk around the brand's factory in his underwear and conduct meetings wearing only a...sock. And nope the sock isn't on his feet. Plus, while a journalist was interviewing him he was HAVING.ORAL.SEX.
  Pretty much, he's a perv. And he actually looks like one. I mean look at him.

Typical perv face. He kinda scares me. And he should. You don't wanna leave this guy alone with your daughter. Or your dog.









Anyway, up until now I had never seen AA ads in the US magazines I buy such as Vogue, Elle or Cosmo. Now I know why. This is pretty much porn. I warn ya.

Here are the ads.

Seriously, Dov love what were you thinking?

Urg. I feel violated.
