My Weekend Crush

Start the week with boobs, end the week with boobs. It has been a good week. I’m not the kind of person who jumps on the latest YouTube/Instagram/Whatyourface trend. I’ve never Harlem Plank Styled. (OK, once I tried the Gangnam Style dance in my living room, but ironically). I think most of this stuff is just silly and ultimately boring. But I do like when women I admire co-opt our temporary cultural obsessions and uses them to support a worthy cause. Also, I’m just really happy to see Erin Daniel’s endlessly charming face again. So I say bring on the Mamming! Take care of them boobies, ladies. Happy weekend, all.

Get in loser, we're going robbing

Mindless fun. Mindless fun. Mindless fun. Say it with me, it just feels good. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been replaying this song in my head since the very first ‘Bling Ring” teaser trailer was released, and each subsequent snippet of the film has only a) increased my desire to watch it and b) increased my desire to dance on tabletops while this song plays. The song in question is “Crown on the Ground” by Sleigh Bells. And that electrocrunky opening riff makes me want to do body shots in a sweaty club. Metaphorically though, because both body shots and sweaty clubs tend to be overrated in real life.

The newest “Bling Ring” trailer showcases both Hermione’s spot on SoCal accent and Dana Fairbanks as her lawyer. (Yes, yes – Emma Watson and Erin Daniels, in real life – I know.) And while the mindless fun of robbing from the rich is the initial appeal, something tells me this movie will manage to sneakily slip in some sharp commentary on our strange celebrity culture. Or, you know, whatever. Get in losers, we’re going robbing.
