White Girl Problems

(Rich) White Girl Problems

I honestly can't remember how I came across this book. I must've been buying another book and this popped up in the suggestions and the title caught my eye. I'm sure there is a meme out there somewhere based on "white girl problems" kind of like there is one for "first world problems" I was just curious to see exactly what this was. Read the reviews. Most found it really entertaining, it was only $0.01. So I figured what the heck, I need some laughs. Read on to see what this White Girl Problems mess is all about :)

A.L.T. (André Leon Talley) A Memoir

My brother got me this book along with a few others for Christmas. We're definitely a book giving family. My brother and I are always in competition to give each other gifts that the other won't expect or will be really pleased about. I recommended my brother get this for me for Christmas when he asked what I wanted and I was absolutely stoked when I got it. Some of you may recognize André from a few cycles on America's Next Top Model as a judge (and it's a pity he's gone because he made the show more fun). You may also recognize him sitting beside Anna Wintour at fashion shows. He is the former editor-at-large for Vogue and now is a contributing editor. He's hilarious, chic, unique, and mesmerizing in an indescribable way. He's an interesting character to say the least. That's why I devoured his book in just a few days (most of which was on an 8 hour flight to Dublin). Read on to find out what I thought of his memoir!

Have You Ever Had to Write a Thesis?

This is my 3rd...What was I thinking?

I just felt like sharing the pain I'm going through right now. This is my third thesis to write, the second Master's Thesis. I have a very masochistic relationship with school, I must if I putting myself through this again. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, writing, and being a badass but I usually end up with more gray hair at the end of it all. The theme for this thesis: Southern Gothic & Horror Film. 

What do y'all think?

The Bling Ring: How a Gang of Fame-Obsessed Teens Ripped Off Hollywood and Shocked the World

I just don't get some people or their parents... All I know is my mama would probably knock the shit outta me if I even dreamed of doing what these kids did. But (not in the perpetrators defense whatsoever) who the hell doesn't lock their doors?

I picked this book up on a whim as I've been dying to see Sofia Coppola's movie about the "Bling Ring" which comes out July 5th (at least here in Ireland). 

Haruki Murakami's 1Q84

Do you like baby daddy drama, religious cults, and sexy female assassins? If so, this may be for you!

I picked up Murakami's book 1Q84 on a whim. I'd been eyeing it for months. Every time I'd go into a bookstore I'd pick it up and thumb through it but was never sure if it'd be worth my while. Eventually I caved in and got the first two books which are paired together in a single book. And I must say, I was quite surprised!

Brief Background on Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami (born 1949) is a popular Japanese novelist (writing both fiction and non-fiction). And his books often reference popular music, films, and events. His books (fiction) often focus on very lonely and alienated characters who are placed in surreal worlds surrounded by colorful and memorable characters. Other fiction novels include: The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, A Wild Sheep Chase, Kafka on the Shore, and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.
