50 Shades of Gosling.

So you all have probably heard of 50 Shades of Grey, the erotic romance trilogy that has climbed to the top of the New York Time's bestseller list. Well, at first I didn't know it was erotic romance, because when is that stuff EVER on the New York Time's best seller list!? and I saw some ads in people magazine... Naturally I asked my father to purchase the trilogy for me thinking it was your usual chick lit and was sadly mistaken. Since I had these books just here for the taking and after hearing rave reviews and other not so rave reviews I figured I might as well check it out for myself. 

I'm close to being done the first novel of the trilogy and I'm still unsure what to think of it. There is some really, well kind of horrifying stuff. There are two things that are keeping me reading though. 1. To finish at least the first book to see what the hype is about and 2.  because imagine Christian Grey as Ryan Gosling and it is my sole wish to Hollywood that if this series is turned into a movie that this role must be played by him. Thoughts? Could there ever be a creature more ravishing than Ryan, even in a fictional world?!

On a side note this is probably the most ingenious sign I've ever seen and if I'm ever that close to Ryan I will hold a sign as hysterical and accurate as this. Though with one look between Ryan and I, my sign will be as quickly thrown to the side as Eva Mendes.... 

Can't fight fate! 

The race is on....

Today I received life changing news on my Twitter feed. Miley Cyrus is officially engaged to Liam Hemsworth!!!

Girls everywhere can no longer fantasize that they will marry or well f**k Liam. Am I right or am I right?! This is not a situation when one is ecstatic for the people that they have never met saying what a cute couple they are and how cute there babies will be ( in this case extremely attractive). For those of you who don't know, which should be no one! Liam Hemsworth is a GOD (or close). He's basically almost as perfect as our Gosling. He's gorgeous, fit, talented and has an accent. Does any girl need more than this?! NO. Therefore you an all understand the frustration, which I'm assuming most of you are also going through that we will never be the one's to marry him. Please cue the sad dramatic music and pass me the cookie dough.

Can we also address that he knows how to buy good jewellery?! This is all too much.

Not only is Miley sealing the deal but so are too many people around me for my liking. As calculated by one of my besties if we want to get married before were thirty and want to date for at least two years before getting engaged well we need boyfriends NOW. Should we really be 19, 20 years old worrying about when were going to get our diamond! Can't everything just fall into place? Are we supposed to have accounts online to date already? With the fact that 75% of people that get married under 25 get divorced. What's the rush?

Where is this man telling me "I like you just the way you are".... preferably in a british accent? 

Right now all I can hope for is that by the time I'm famous, Liley will have split and I can catch Liam for another walk down the aisle. Until than...

Don't ever change.

In the infamous words of Gordo to Lizzie Mcguire " You Rock, Don't ever Change" it definitly applies to our  main man, Ryan. The fact that more men haven't caught on to Ryan's "swaggy"(oh yes, I just went there...) is ahhhmazing. Guys, pull it together would ya? It would be THAT much easier if Ryan's were a dime and a dozen, but than again I guess it would take away from my future husband's swag.  A girl can dream can't I? well you know this form reading my blog ;)

For all of not to love this man, he would have to stop doing so much....

Can we also address how much of a lucky betch Emma Stone is for not only being in one movie with Ryan, but two?!!!

He ever tries to make the world a better place! and hangs out in his home country, and my home country. Fate anyone?

All I can say is that Ryan can reprimand me any day. As well as having to start hanging out in the annex in hope of another sighting.

So Ryan,

Would you be my boyfriend? Imagine if Ryan did a cover of this?

I'D DIE.

My Exception - Ryan's latest.

I guess this is a good time for Ryan to use his natural voice? Am I right, it does sound like he has a  Boston accent right? Are we really sure he's Canadian....

 Ryan will be back to theatres near you in The Gangster Squad, which will be released in September just to help us get our Gosling fix as we head back to school.

Our man is back with one of my ultimate favourites Emma Stone. Like if Emma and I ever met we would be friends we would be drinking chardonnay like classy betches and talking how we wish we were more like Tina Fey or Cher Horowitz (Clueless), dining at Nobu ( great sushi, Fodor's lies though! I never saw any celebrities!!!). I would also giver her the advice she needs such as telling her to die her hair back to red immediately after filming The Ahhmazing Spiderman because it just looks so much better, no matter what Andrew Garfield would say. What do boys know anyways?! Back to the point... were they not just adorable in their last summer flick, Crazy Stupid Love? They will probably be the hottest couple to fight crime since Bradgelina. 

I'm not going to lie as you probably well know this isn't my type of film, considering 99.9% of the movies I watch are romantic comedies. Ryan's my exception... and if him and Emma Stone actually fall in love well that would be even better!

Check it out the trailer.

Call Me Maybe?

Some people have really taken Carly Jepsen's song lyrics to heart....

My darling roommate shared this with me a couple days ago.I think this is quite a novel idea. A friend of mine even gave "business cards" similar to this at a bar for her friends birthday to good looking guys. Though Carly's idea is rather simple maybe its something to think about.  Friends of mine always seem to worry about asking guys out. Though its nice to be courted of course, it doesn't always happen. So should we start being more cavalier with our call me maybes? Do we need to take more chances? For all we know that same guy is just as nervous as you! Who knows.. maybe even Ryan has his off days? 

In an age were woman are trying to move forward to embrace their inner independent career woman, it seems were still very backwards in the way we think about dating. If we aspire to live in a time where men and woman will be paid the same, treated the same, and not constantly asked to make sandwiches can we afford to have this way of thinking? Will it hold you, me or society back? Maybe we just need to channel our inner Beyonce ( #1 independent career woman) and go for it. If we have nothing to lose but everything to gain why don't we just DO IT.

Food for thought.

Summer project: Calling cards. Who knows I could even show my degrees?! MRS degree to be exact....

YOLO right?

Millionaire Matchmaker?

Hello my Darlings!

Though my scope for my very own Ryan Gosling has not quiet yet happened.. it turns out I may have the ability to make it happen for other people.

The other night was my last night in London for this school year. As any party going adolescent, friends and I adventured out to the bars. At one of our favourite places they have a band on Thursday night. We spent most of our night dancing in front of the band. My one friend was ogling the hot bass player the whole night. I don't know what came over me but in between sets I stepped onto stage and said

"My friend in the front, blond, leggy one over there. She likes you. Talk to her after the show or she'll be here next week." because who needs to study for finals anyways?...

The next song, Skinny Love by Bon Iver was dedicated to my dear friend.

What I would do for a dedication but alas....

 He approached her after and well.. Is it right to kiss and tell for her? Probably not. But good things came of it.

So either I need to have someone to become my millionaire matchmaker or become it for myself? I think I may see a glimmer of Mr. Gosling in myself.

Try it out kids. Maybe "I like you" could be the newest pick up line?

Ya never know. 

Finals...

Its that time of year again friends.. Finals.

To make studying a little better, a my dear friend decided to make her own personal hey girl.

May the force of Ryan Gosling be with you.
