Diary of a Fangirl: Marilyn Monroe

Today’s guest post is from Diane: Marilyn was the sex symbol of her time.  She was womanly (like Jane Russell, Liz Taylor, and others)–not like the skinny actresses of today. She played the dumb blonde, but she was the smart “dumb blonde.”  She did both comedy (“Seven Year Itch,” “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” etc.) and drama […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Disney’s Cinderella

Once upon a time, when I was a little girl, the first Disney movie I ever saw was “Cinderella.” I was about…two or three at the time, and became completely enamored with the film.  So much so that I would watch it on a loop, and knew the dialogue and songs so well that I […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Ghost Busters 3

So, being an 80’s kid, of course I watched and loved “The Ghostbusters.” I was excited to hear about how they were going to make a new one with the original cast, which, isn’t a reboot, but a continuation of a trilogy that didn’t happen when the first two came out. And then, there was […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Chris Hemsworth

Anyone with eyes can see that Chris Hemsworth  has great genetics.  He is aesthetically pleasing both in the face as well as below the neck. That being said, I’ve only see him in three films–first, “Cabin in the Woods,” and I definitely saw the “hot” factor (him and Jesse Williams?  Yum…), “The Avengers,” and…not gonna […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Derrick Rose

To those that know me, it is no secret that the sports gene (and there is mos def a sports gene in my family) skipped me.  I never had a desire to really watch any sport (with the exception of figure skating, which my mom made watch while growing up), or participate in any (I […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Okay, so this is another “pretty” edition, but this one is a bit more in depth, since my fangirling over The Rock/Dwayne Johnson spans 13-14 years… When I first “fell” for Dwayne Johnson, he was known as The Rock, The Brahma Bull, and of course The People’s Champion.  I was thirteen, and had one wall […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Meeting Common

Today’s Guest Post is from Eve, a Common fan: Common, aka Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. is what I call all types of “girly swoon!”  He is an incredibly talented Hip Hop artist, philanthropist, and actor, but more than that he is SCRUMPTIOUS! I know this should be a blog about his accomplishments, and there are […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Friday

When I was ten years old, my Aunt Joann asked me if I wanted to see this movie called “Friday.”  Knowing her penchant for horror films, I entered into the film with caution.  But within the first sixty seconds, with members of a family household in various stages of sleep, I knew it was a […]
