Woman Crush Wednesday: Julianne Hough Edition

Heyyy everyone and welcome to the newest edition of Woman Crush Wednesday – Julianne Hough style! The darling and newly engaged Miss Hough has been the apple of my eye ever since her Dancing With The Stars debut so it only seems right to feature her as Lil Red’s #WCW. Take a look at my all time favorite dance that she ever performed on DWTS and then let’s discuss:

Dear Julianne Hough,

Oh Julianne, you precious tiny dancer, you. I admire your immense talent on the dance floor so very much. You make the most difficult dances look effortless and I had a blast watching you win the Dancing With The Stars mirror ball trophy with Apolo Anton Ohno and Helio Castroneves. It’s a family tradition over at casa da la Lil Red to watch DWTS together and we always rooted for you! I am so happy that you’re back on the show to share your expertise on the judges panel and to occasionally grace the dance floor with your presence. It has been such a joy to watch your transformation from a sweet young woman to a sassy and fabulous goddess! I love your elegant yet fierce style and your ever changing hair! You are just SO beautiful – hubba hubba, lady! Thank you for allowing your bubbly personality into our homes every Monday night during Dancing With The Stars. And most importantly, thank you for being such an amazing role model and inspiration to performers (and people in general) everywhere. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Woman Crush Wednesday: Sarah Paulson Edition

Hellooo everyone and welcome to the newest edition of Woman Crush Wednesday – Sarah Paulson style! With season five of American Horror Story making its debut on October 7th, it only seemed appropriate to send some love to one of my favorite actresses on the show. Take a look at this fan favorite scene from American Horror Story: Asylum and then let’s discuss:

Dear Sarah Paulson,

Oh Sarah, you brilliant brilliant actress with a wonderful name, I just adore you. From your humble AHS beginnings during Murder House with a minor role to working your way up to leading lady status in the past three seasons, you can do no wrong. It’s so hard for me to pick a favorite character that you’ve played during your time as a member of the American Horror Story family, but if I absolutely had to choose, I think it would be when you played conjoined twins, Bette and Dot Tatler, in Freak Show. Your characterization of sweet and naive Bette and the cold and calculated Dot were spot on perfection and I looked forward to seeing your performance every week when Freak Show was airing. Your incredible talent is undeniable and I can’t wait to see what you’re going to bring to the table during AHS: Hotel. So yes, your acting chops are unreal but you also have some out of this world looks as well! Hubba hubba, lady. You have the face of an angel and the most glorious porcelain skin to match. Your hair also looks awesome in literally any color which is a gift from the gods. I LOVE your hair blonde, like when you played Cordelia in Coven but like I said, any color will do. You are such an inspiration to actors (and people in general) everywhere and I can only hope as an actress myself that I have an ounce of the ability that you have. I LOVE YOU!!!!!

^^^ The lovely Sarah got a lot of hate for the dress pictured above but I actually really liked it…SUE ME FOR IT!!!

So there you have it, this week’s Woman Crush Wednesday: Sarah Paulson Edition. Who is everyone’s #WCW this week? Who was your favorite character that my woman crush played on American Horror Story? I wanna hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

American Horror Story: Hotel

American Horror Story: Hotel

Helloooo everyone and happy Tuesday! So as all of you know, I’m an avid American Horror Story fan. I’ve loved it since the beginning at the Murder House to the previous season at the Freak Show. So how do I feel about the upcoming premiere of the new season subtitled “Hotel”? Shockingly, very ambivalent. Check out one of the trailers and allow me to explain:

Okay, yes, Lady Gaga is the new face of AHS and quite frankly, I couldn’t care less. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Gaga – but I just don’t know how I feel about her taking over one of my most beloved shows. In my humble opinion, Jessica Lange IS American Horror Story. Point blank. Period. It will be exciting to have someone dare I say, younger than the previous leading lady but Gaga is the wrong lady for me. She’s almost too famous for my liking when it comes to the show, if that makes sense? I like how some of the actors on AHS are pretty low key and now that anonymity (for lack of better words) is jeopardized by the arrival of a super star.

I’ve been saying to literally everyone in my social circle who’s an AHS fan that I would have much preferred an unknown actress to take over rather than a mega celebrity ever since it was announced that Gaga would be the main character on the show. And now with the season premiere of Hotel just weeks away, I still stand by that statement. And here’s the thing, I know for a fact that once I see the premiere of season five that I’ll be hooked and more than likely gaga over Gaga…But for now? I’m feeling pretty meh – I just can’t put my finger on it.

Despite my mixed feelings for Miss Meat Dress herself replacing Queen Lange, I must say, the story line for Hotel sounds great. I’ve been really pleased with all of the teaser articles and trailers that I’ve seen as well as the impeccable casting choices with some treasured AHS alumni like Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, and Evan Peters. I’m also very happy that my Freak Show faves, Finn Wittrock and Wes Bentley, will be returning for a stay at the Hotel. However, I am SO pissed that Emma Roberts is returning in this season. I seriously can’t stand her and I don’t think that she’s AHS material in the slightest…and that’s really all I have to say about her -__-

Although my feelings for the new queen bee of American Horror Story: Hotel is lukewarm, I’m still really looking forward to seeing what season five has to offer! How does everyone feel about Lady Gaga joining the cast? Who’s excited for the October 7th premiere? I wanna hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

PS: I’m so aware that my blah opinions on Lady Gaga joining the cast is not the popular one, so don’t judge me too hard! 😉

Man Crush Monday: Kevin Bacon Edition

Hellooo everyone and welcome to the newest edition of Man Crush Monday – Kevin Bacon style! Those of you who are familiar with my blog will know that The Following is one of my all time favorite shows, so it only seems right that I give my boy Kevin Bacon some love! Let’s discuss:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elUNFHEWaCc

Dear Kevin Bacon,

Alright K-Bakes, I’m not gonna lie – I’m not too familiar with a lot of your work. SUE ME FOR IT, because I was a faithful follower to The Following from the beginning. That show was and still is one of my healthy obsessions and saying that I’m devastated that it’s over is a big fat understatement. Your performance as Ryan Hardy in The Following gave me a new found appreciation for the good guy and the show in general also made me develop a crush on serial killer, Joe Carroll…But that’s neither here nor there. You’ve been in the Hollywood game a while now, Kevs, and I must say, you’ve aged amazingly well – one might almost call it godlike. I am so shamelessly, hopelessly, and helplessly infatuated with you that maybe I should dig into the library archives and borrow Footloose. Until that day comes, allow me to say that you are SO handsome. I mean, really handsome. Hubba hubba to you, sir. Your chiseled features and sultry voice sure know how to make a bitch swoon. And those eyes?! Jesus. I LOVE YOU!!!!

^^^ What a guy, what a guy, what a heck of a guy!!

So there you have it, this week’s Man Crush Monday: Kevin Bacon Edition! Who is your #MCM this week? What is your favorite creative endeavor by my man crush? I wanna hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Man Crush Monday: Jason Bateman Edition

Helloooo everyone and welcome to a new edition of Man Crush Monday – Jason Bateman style! With the perfect dose of dry wit and charm, Mr. Bateman has stolen my heart, which has earned him a coveted spot as this week’s #MCM. Enjoy this clip of my all time favorite scene from Arrested Development and then let’s discuss:

Dear Jason Bateman,

Oh Jason…Jason, Jason, Jason. Usually I like to start these little love letters with an ode to your talent BUT your good looks need to be mentioned ASAP, so let’s get to it. You are SO handsome it’s unreal. You’re handsome in the normal guy with something special way and I just adore it. Hubba hubba, sir. Alright, now that I’ve got that off my chest, we can go on to talk about some of my personal favorite career choices you’ve made. Arrested Development? Hello! I’ll admit, I only recently got into watching this show with my mom/partner in crime – but hey, better late than never. Your trademark Michael Bluth attitude of somewhat bored and indifferent is nothing short of perfect and I love that the nonchalant guy is your signature acting style because you do it so well. I’m a huge fan of your spelling bee gone wrong film, Bad Words. Even with your luscious locks buzzed in that movie, you still manage to look wonderful, which is a difficult thing to do. And of course, this post wouldn’t be complete without talking about everyone’s favorite, Horrible Bosses. I. Love. That. Movie. I hope you know that if you ever worked for me, I would treat you with the utmost dignity and respect, because you deserve it!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Woman Crush Wednesday: Julia Louis-Dreyfus Edition

Helllooooo everyone and welcome to a new edition of Woman Crush Wednesday – Julia Louis-Dreyfus style! From a very young age, Seinfeld was always my go to TV show and my #WCW’s character, Elaine was who I wanted to be when I grow up…and I still do! So here’s to you, Lainey, a coveted spot as Lil Red’s Woman Crush Wednesday! Enjoy this classic video of Elaine getting her groove on and then let’s discuss:

Dear Julia Louis-Dreyfus,

Oh, Julia. Do you mind if I call you Julia? Ms. Louis-Dreyfus is a bit annoying to type out. Great! Julia it is! Your role as Elaine on Seinfeld is basically my dream acting job and my dream of how I want my life to be. Your outrageous wit and sass throughout the Seinfeld seasons taught me very early on that it was okay to be an outspoken and out there young lady. As a child, teen, or adult I always enjoyed watching how you could hold your own in a predominantly male cast and be able to steal the show every single time. “Get out” is a phrase that occurs very often in my household as well as dancing around the kitchen in “little kicks” fashion. Your television role is a role model to me just as much as you are in real life. Both you and Elaine have the amazing ability to be cheeky but charming which I think is one of the best characteristics on the planet. Not only is your personality a ten but so are your looks! Hubba hubba, lady! You have aged with such beauty and grace and it has been so fun to watch all of your career choices post Seinfeld. I’m particularly fond of your film, Enough Said. No matter what you do, you rock it and I can’t wait to see what your fabulous little self is up to next! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
