Man Crush Monday: Daniel Radcliffe Edition

Man Crush Monday: Daniel Radcliffe Edition

Helloooo everyone and welcome to this weeks edition of Man Crush Monday – Daniel Radcliffe style! After visiting The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter last week at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida it only seemed right to make Mr. Radcliffe my #MCM. Enjoy this cheesy choice of music and then let’s discuss the man behind Harry Potter, who I would very much like to unrobe. BA DUM CHHHHH!

Dear Daniel Radcliffe,

Oh Daniel Radcliffe, you handsome, gorgeous, hunka hunk of burning love: words can’t describe how much I adore you. It has been such a delight watching you grow up from the timid first year student at Hogwarts in Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone to the fine as hell man you are today. From childhood, adolescence, and all the way up to being a young adult, Harry Potter has been a huge part of my life. Harry Potter was and still is my number one favorite source of entertainment – the books, the movies, the hours of discussions about said books and movies with family and friends, it’s always there and it never gets old. You brought Harry Potter to life in a way that was so perfect and convincing that I had to constantly remind myself that Hogwarts wasn’t a real place when I was younger. But who says? Maybe in some parallel universe wizardry and witchcraft is the norm and if that indeed is the case, then I definitely want you by my side more than ever! Thank you for bringing the beautiful boy with the jet black scruffy hair and scarred forehead to the big screen and thank you even more for helping me to believe in magic. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Man Crush Monday: Lil Wayne Edition

Man Crush Monday: Lil Wayne Edition

Helloooo everyone and happy Monday!! Welcome to another edition of Man Crush Monday – Lil Wayne style! Pleeease judge me for it! I’ve had a crush on Weezy since I was fourteen years old so it only seems appropriate to give him some #MCM love! Let’s discuss:

Dear Lil Wayne,

First of all, do you mind if I call you Wayne? Ehh…We’ll just stick with Lil Wayne. ANYWAYS, I think you are so insanely handsome, much to the disagreement of a lot of my friends! But I can’t help it – your tattoos, dreads, and lip piercings really rev my engine. Hubba hubba. Now that we’ve talked about your staggering good looks, it’s time for a story featuring a teenage Lil Red: Once upon a time when I was fourteen years old, you were performing at Blossom Music Center and one of my girlfriends and I got tickets to see the show. That was when Drake had a hernia and had to cancel being your opening act, but I digress. So yes, my friend and I had tickets to your show and we were SO excited! And then a travesty occurred. My evil sister informed my mom of the vulgarity of your lyrics and I was condemned to a night stuck at home rather than at your concert. Luckily, I was a crafty bitch. Around the time of the concert I was involved in a theatre performance and I told my mom that I had a rehearsal with a cast party after the night of your show. My mom said that this was fine and my friend and I were thrilled because little to my parents’ knowledge, we were going to your concert! Unfortunately, I got too turnt at Blossom and I don’t remember much of the show other than making out with two different guys – but that’s neither here nor there. Despite the lack of memories of my night on the town, I do know that I had a blast and I was pretty hyped that my parents had no idea. I kept my teenage betrayal against my parents’ wishes a secret until I turned eighteen and then I told my mom. At that point, all she could do was laugh at my sneakiness and ability to keep my lips sealed about that night for four years straight. I lied to my parents to see you live and if I had to, I would do it all over again…Except I wouldn’t get so drunk. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Woman Crush Wednesday: Natalie Portman Edition

Hellooooo everyone and happy hump day! Welcome to another edition of Woman Crush Wednesday – Natalie Portman style! I’ve been fond of my #WCW for years, and my love for her grew even more after her magnificent performance in my favorite movie, V For Vendetta. Enjoy this goofy video of Ms. Portman rapping her ass off and then let’s discuss my woman crush:

Dear Natalie Portman,

Oh beautiful Natalie, you talented little goddess, words truly can’t describe how much I adore you. As I mentioned in the prologue to this letter, V For Vendetta is one of my all time favorite movies and you made an absolutely perfect Evey. In fact, my final monologue for my high school drama class was from the scene where you were reading Valerie’s letter, which also happens to be the part of the film that I love the most. V For Vendetta movie posters adorn my walls, as well as pictures of you from Vogue, Teen Vogue, and your darling Miss Dior ads. I admire your acting skills like no other and I’ll never forget going to see Black Swan with my mom and sister and cringing over your ballet related foot injuries in the film! Yikes! What I really like about you is that you keep your private life private. Your lack of Hollywood scandals verifies my belief that you are as down to earth as you seem and that is just one of the many reasons why I think you are such an amazing role model. You are one of the few people in Hollywood who I look at and think about how much I would love to be your friend. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but you really are so beautiful! Hubba hubba. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Woman Crush Wednesday: Angelina Jolie Edition

Hellooooo everyone and happy Hump Day! Welcome to this weeks edition of Woman Crush Wednesday – Angelina Jolie style! My love for this woman’s cheekbones and her herd of children knows no bounds! Those are just a few of the many reasons why Miss Jolie has won the coveted spot of being Lil Red’s #WCW…Let’s discuss:

Dear Angelina Jolie,

Oh Angelina, you stylish, sophisticated, and stunning starlet – you truly are my dream woman. Words seriously can’t even begin to describe how beautiful I think you are inside and out! From your red carpet glamour to your running around with your children street wear, you are a total babe. SHWING! I love your tattoos, smile, and most importantly those glorious cheekbones! I’m a real softie for magnificent bone structure and girl, you’ve got it. I could go into detail about all of the movies that you’ve been in that I love but I think that I would prefer to talk about your humanitarian work instead. First of all, I think that it’s so noble that you have both adopted and biological children instead of solely having your own fresh from the womb babies. I admire that so much, especially because if I ever have kids I only want to adopt. I always enjoy reading about all of the amazing work that you do with children from all around the world and it never ceases to make me smile when I see pictures of you playing with the little ones that you visit. I genuinely appreciate how you use your celebrity status to do good because I don’t think that there is enough of that going on in Hollywood. My recommendation for you, other than to keep doing what you’re doing, is to create your own school or orphanage in one of the countries that you visit. I could not imagine how hard it would be to travel all over and not want to adopt every child that you encounter – so if you have your own establishment it would be like all of the little ones being yours! And if not, just do me a favor and adopt me instead. I know that I’m twenty-one and beyond the adoptable age but please consider it anyways! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Man Crush Monday: David Bowie Edition

Man Crush Monday: David Bowie Edition

Helloooo everyone and welcome to another edition of Man Crush Monday – David Bowie style! I’ve loved my #MCM since I was a little girl. I was intrigued by his fashion, his unique glam-rock music, and what was hiding behind those beautiful different colored eyes. So here’s to you, D-Bo, and welcome to the land of lifewithlilred!

Dear David Bowie,

Alright, let’s state the obvious – you’re gorgeous. I mean seriously, DAYUM. Everything about you just screams pure European glamour and I can’t get enough. I love looking at pictures of you and witnessing your fearlessness and how confident you are in yourself through your clothing, hair, and makeup. You sir, are stunning. So not only are you everything that my heart desires as far as appearance goes but you are also SO extraordinarily talented. “Suffragette City” was the first song by you that my older brother introduced me to and from that moment on, I was hooked. I must have been nine or ten when I first heard you and it was like nothing I had heard before. Your music has such a fabulous femininity about it but it’s still so distinctively rock n’ roll and I think that’s what really made me gravitate towards it. When I hear your songs I get filled with this confidence that I never knew I had before…it makes me want to grow out a rocker mullet and take on the world! I come from a family of fans of yours so my love for you has done nothing but blossom over the years. This post about you, my sweet David Bowie, would not be complete if I didn’t bring up the movie Labyrinth…So here we go: Your performance in this muppet filled masterpiece was groundbreaking, to say the least. I have no shame in admitting that Labyrinth is one of my all time favorites and that your junk looked AWESOME in those tight pants! Hubba hubba. David Bowie, you are a true gift to the world and I thank you for gracing all of us with your presence. I LOVE YOU!!!

^^^ My god is he glorious. It’s seriously a dream of mine to recreate that shot of him in the black and white body suit – especially since we’re both rockin the red hair! ❤

Lil Red’s Psychic Experience

Standard
Lil Red’s Psychic Experience

Whatsup everyone and happy Thursday! So a very interesting occurrence happened today that was just too wild not to write about. I went to visit my dear friend, Neva, at her nursing home and while we were hanging out I had a run in with a psychic. Allow me to explain.

^^^ This bands name is Psychic Friend so including their music seemed appropriate!

So yes, Neva and I were hanging out and one of the residents approached us. His name was Doug and after Neva introduced us he asked what I do. I told him that I was in school and that I was really into writing. Without skipping a beat, Doug immediately said “you’re a blogger”. Taken aback I replied with, “How did you know that?!” He then began to tell me that he was a psychic medium and told me that he sees great success for my blog in the future. After telling me of the success that lifewithlilred has in store for me he regarded my clothing because as usual I was dressed pretty formally for an every day occasion. Doug told me that he could see me walking around on Fifth Avenue in a pair of expensive knee high boots and then told me that I was definitely a writer in my past life.

While Doug and I were having this talk, Neva was growing impatient and wanted to go back to her room. So we headed back to headquarters after I hugged my new friend goodbye. After a lovely visit with Neva and her friends I said my farewells and got back into the Little Red Love Machine to go home. As I was driving for the next five or so minutes all I could do was think about Doug and everything that he said to me. It truly made my day so I just had to turn around and thank him – I honestly wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself if I didn’t. So I turned my whip around and went back into the direction of the nursing home and reentered the building in search of my friend.

Once I found Doug’s room, I knocked on the door and told him that I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye and thanking him one more time. Once again, he told me that I had good things in store for me and that he could sense my talent and energy from across the room. He told me that I was a 19th century European writer in my past life and then began to tell me what my past self was life. Doug told me that I could gamble with the best of them and out-smoke and out-roll a cigar better than any man. He compared me to Emily Bronte countless times and said that my creativity is something that should never be contained. The entire time I was thinking about just how wild and cool the whole situation was. I don’t know if Doug got the idea of me being a European from the purse I was carrying that dons the British flag on it but hey, I’ll take it. I also found it intriguing that he mentioned gambling, considering I’ve had a few recent trips to the casino. The cigar smoking part was also very fascinating to me because I smoke cigarettes now. Weird!

Doug and I talked for another fifteen minutes or so before we parted ways. He told me that he was leaving the nursing home tomorrow when I said that I would stop in and see him next time I visited Neva, so I was SO glad that I turned around and saw him again. My gut feeling to turn my car around and talk to him was spot on and I’m beyond thankful that I got to spend some time with Doug. Psychic or not, he made me feel genuinely good about myself and I felt obligated to return and express my gratitude to him. I can only hope that our visit with each other made his day just as much as it made mine!

So there you have it, my psychic experience for the day! Has anyone ever had a psychic reading before? How accurate was it? I wanna hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Woman Crush Wednesday: Lady Gaga Edition

Hellooo everyone and happy Hump Day! Welcome to a new edition of Woman Crush Wednesday – Lady Gaga style! This super cool starlet stole my heart from the moment I heard “Just Dance” on the radio for the first time. Every creative endeavor she embarks on makes me fall deeper in love with her, so let’s discuss!

Dear Lady Gaga,

Oh you gorgeous gorgeous gal. Words can’t even begin to tell you how much I adore and admire you. From your amazing musical talent and fabulous fashion to your incredible humanitarian work, it’s safe to say that you’re one of my heroes. You have delivered hit after hit in the musical world for years but I think my favorite moment of yours had to have been when you performed your Sound Of Music medley at the Oscar’s. You were simply glorious and your show-woman-ship moved me to tears. Your music falls into a category that is uniquely its own and no matter what the occasion I know that there is always a song by you to perfectly describe how I’m feeling. Obviously I’m a fan of your music but I’m also an intense lover of your outlandish style. I can’t even, to say the least. I always look forward to seeing what you’re rocking on the red carpet or just out and about. What I adore about your personal style is that you’re always head to toe perfection even if you’re just running around doing errands. It honestly reminds me of me because I too enjoy doing myself up for even the smallest thing. Unfortunately, my wardrobe will never be anywhere near as fierce as yours – but hey, a girl can dream. Your work in the LGBT community is an inspiration to so many people, myself included, so thank you for all that you do. Your message of staying true to yourself no matter what resonates with me and millions of others and we are all better people for it. And please PLEASE don’t even get me started on how excited I am for your debut on American Horror Story! I. Can’t. Wait!!!!! You are fabulous, fierce, beautiful, gorgeous, talented, and absolutely amazing. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Man Crush Monday: Johnny Depp Edition

Hello everyone and welcome to a new edition of Man Crush Monday – Johnny Depp style! I think everyone male or female loves them some J-Depp and anyone who says otherwise is a big liar. I, for one, have had a deep lusting for Mr. Depp ever since I saw Benny & Joon, which was the first movie I ever saw with him in it. In the immortal words of Enzo from the Seinfeld episode “The Barber”, “That Johnny Depp, he make me cry.”

Dear Johnny Depp,

Oh Johnny. Do you mind if I call you Johnny? Wonderful. I am such a big fan of yours, even though your recent films have been quite the disappointment…But that’s okay, you’ll get it together. You always do. This critique does not take away from the fact that I love so many films of yours, specifically Sweeney Todd, Benny & Joon, Secret Window, Chocolat, and Edward Scissorhands. I have so many pictures of you hanging up in my room as well as the DVDs of my favorite films of yours. I also pride myself on having the Sweeney Todd soundtrack on my iPod for those times when I feel like killing people and making them into meat pies. (It doesn’t happen very often.) Your talent is so amazing and I hope that you continue to have more opportunities to showcase it. I adore your friendship with Marilyn Manson and always enjoy watching you perform with him – you little rock star, you. Now that I’ve gotten talking about your talent out of the way, I can now discuss your staggering good looks. You sir are a total hunk, hubba hubba. Please don’t take offense to this, because I say it out of concern for your future: Start making better movies!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Helloooo everyone and happy Hump Day! Welcome to another edition of Woman Crush Wednesday – Amy Winehouse style! I wanted to dedicate this weeks #WCW to one of my all time favorite female artists on the planet…Dearly beloved songstress, daughter, and icon, Ms. Winehouse has moved my soul with her music and incredible spirit and I wish she were still here today. So this ones for you, Amy. Rest easy.

Dear Amy Winehouse,

A documentary about you called Amy is coming out on Friday and I have to admit that I’m pretty excited. I’ve missed seeing videos of your performances, media coverage (only the good ones!), and photos of you. I just miss you in general, so it will be a joy to see you again from a big screen at the theater. I’ll never forget the first time that I heard “Rehab” on the radio and I can vividly remember thinking “who is this girl?” I had to know more about you and so I dived headfirst into your music and have never looked back. I never heard anything like your voice before and it had this amazing ability to make me feel very deeply every single emotion that you described in your songs. I could feel your heartache, your anguish, joys, sorrows, and triumphs and it was always a beautiful experience. Your talent was a one in a batrillion person gift and there will never be anyone like you ever again. It always cracked me up when I would watch you perform and see such a small girl with a big gigantic voice. It made you even more appealing to me to be able to watch this tiny little thing belt out pure power and genuine strength. You were such a gorgeous soul and woman and the world misses you more than you could even imagine. I, for one, miss you terribly! I just adore you to pieces and I hope you’re smoking a big fat cigarette with a clear and peaceful mind where ever you are. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Helllooo everyone and happy Monday! I’ve been doing weekly Woman Crush Wednesday posts as of late so I figured now would be a good time to give the guys a shout out with some Man Crush Monday posts! My very first subject for #MCM should be a given if you know anything about Lil Red and it’s a gent that I love very much – the talented and handsome Mr. Jack White! ❤

Dearest Jack White,

Oh Jack White you drop dead gorgeous hunka hunk of burning love, welcome to the world of lifewithlilred! Words truly cannot express my deep and passionate love/lust for you. I’ve been listening to your music since I was a little girl so it’s safe to say that you are definitely on my top five list of Lil Red’s Favorite Artists. Your talent is unreal and your good looks are staggering, so hubba hubba to you, sir. I appreciate all of your musical endeavors more than you know and find so much joy in listening to any and all of it – The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, your amazing solo work…even albums that you make brief appearances on like Danger Mouse’s “Rome” – I love it all. In fact, one of my favorite musical activities is putting all of your various albums on shuffle and listening to them throughout the day. What I enjoy the most about your music is that there’s always a song waiting for me in my Jack White collection that speaks to whatever emotion that I’m feeling at the time. Your music has been there for me to listen to on countless occasions – my first day of college, auditions, tragedies, and success…and for that, I salute you. I LOVE YOU so much (just in case you forgot) AND I’m very pale with red hair which I know you like, so feel free to ask me for my hand in marriage anytime!
