I present to you one of my idols. The beautiful, talented, sultry Eartha Kitt.

Why was this woman so fabulous? How much more of her fabulous (outside of her Catwoman role) did I miss? And oh my god the pigtails with that song – she reminds me of someone I know …

(Thanks, Wilfredo!)

I just finished watching the first season of Legend of the Seeker, an action-adventure fantasy television series based on The Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind.  Because I haven’t read the books yet I can’t vouch for how true or not the show is to the books, but on its own it’s quite entertaining.

(I don’t think film and serials should be directly compared against novels they’re derived from anyways – they are different mediums for story-telling and therefore impossible to keep identical.)

Here’s 13 reasons why I think this show is hot:

1. Magic and mayhem abounds
2. It’s action-packed and adventurous
3. Actors that are well suited for their roles (they definitely get better over time)
4. Richard Cypher, “The Seeker”, is so yumm!
5. Honorable heroes and heroines that stick to their morals (even when it’s really, really hard)
6. Mmmm …. forbidden love
7. There are so few good fun Fantasy series on TV!
8. Hot men tortured by hot women (there’s something wonderful about a gorgeous guy helplessly hanging from the ceiling, dontcha think?)



9. The writing is surprisingly smart – even the bad guys are more clever than you’d expect
10. Women that kick butt and look good while doing it
11. The characters often end up in seemingly hopeless predicaments with high tension, and you won’t often be able to guess how they’re going to get out of it
12. Stunning costumes – I want this white one …
13. Each episode is better than the one before
    
    

Do you watch Legend of the Seeker? If so, I’d love to hear what you think.

Netflix’s movie recommendation equations are genius. I just recently rented and watched a movie that I’d never heard of before. And I adored it. It’s called It’s a Boy  Girl Thing and it’s hot!

It takes the Freaky Friday plotline that’s been done numerous times before – where a mother and daughter switch bodies, or a father and son, even a young woman and an old man as in Prelude to a Kiss – and puts a new twist on it. Here, two teenagers who are classmates and next door neighbors that don’t get along end up cursed by the mysterious and magical body-swapping phenomenon.

This movie was very cute, a little naughty at times, funny and surprisingly romantic. I can’t think of the last time a romantic comedy did so well of a job making me both laugh and sigh. And I don’t know – maybe there is something very sentimental about a young man and woman literally taking a walk in each other’s shoes in order to fully understand and appreciate the other.

If only we could do that in real life, right?

The roles weren’t easy to pull off, but the actors did a great job and made the movie easy to watch over and over.

If anybody else has seen this It’s a Boy Girl Thing, let’s discuss. If you haven’t – check it out because it’s HOT!
