Several things in one entry

- Sex And The City
Ask any female you know. They will have seen this show at least once, even if to only see what the fuss was about. The film comes out next week and the world has gone Sex and The City mad.
Apparently, HBO was a terribly male orientated channel till Sex and The City came along, but apparently, quite a large percentage of straight men are fans of the show, but will not admit it in public.
Boys. Own up. Every boy/man I know despises this show. The reason? Because men don't want to think that us females discuss them as frankly as they discuss us. They like to think that female conversation is limited to what we allow them to hear when they are around. Yes, they have heard us talk about men, but not as we do when with the ladies. Every group of girls really is like the Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, albeit on scales of how rich they are and possibly much less free time (I know I don't have time or money to meet my friends every morning for breakfast, dinner and drinks every night).
I'm excited. Watch out, Great Britain. Cinemas everywhere are going to be taken over by gaggles of giggling women.

-Madonna
Does anyone other than me watch her and cringe? You are in your 50's love. You can't continue to parade around like a 30 year old forever. It's just the video for 4 minutes. Seriously. You look good but you also look like a drunk mum at a party trying to be in with the kids.

-NERD.
A couple of months ago, there was a call on the Bridge 9 board for hardcore kids to star in the latest NERD video.
A couple of weeks ago, kids started posting about the shoot. Standard extra rates ($100 for a days work). Most didn't get used and were sent at home.
The finished product looks like that it has come out of the pages of Vice, styled by American Apparel. The best part of this video is Pharrell skanking.






When I was younger, I was an extra and it SUCKS. It involves a lot of standing around and waiting to be told what to do. Being an extra in a music video sucks even more. When you aren't standing around, you and about 100 other people are being herded around like cattle, all the while, you have to listen to the same song for hours on end so I feel terribly for those kids.. Not saying that I wouldn't do it again hah.
(anyone that even mentions that I look like the drugged up girl at the end of a night out without the drugs but with a bit to drink gets a smack hahah)
