Zombies, Vampires, Vulcans, and Aliens — They May Be Make Believe, But We See Them Everyday

Posted on October 21, 2011 by This Woman Writes

College Girl and her friends toss everything else aside, including homework, when The Walking Dead comes on, and they sprawl about chomping popcorn while grisly ashen, ratty tatty skinned Frankenstein things lurch on screen, making the same sounds little kids make when they’re playing cars.

The Golden Compass in My Head Is Made of Plastic

Posted on October 5, 2011 by This Woman Writes

It’s a Good Hair Day and I Can Do Anything!

Posted on September 27, 2011 by This Woman Writes

I know that some people spend hours to get this messy look, but seriously, it only takes seconds.

Posted on September 21, 2011 by This Woman Writes

Posted on September 15, 2011 by This Woman Writes
