True Blood

Anyone excited for True Blood Season 2? I recently got into watching this show, and now I'm hooked. For all you "fangbangers" and vamp groupies, here are some promos and fun videos to watch.

If you haven't heard of True Blood, here's a little sampler to get you started.



(There's a version of this without Alan Ball's commentary that I like much more, but it doesn't embed properly and I can't find any other sources. If you'd like to see it, visit this link and play the video "A Taste of True Blood: Season 1".

I absolutely love the opening credits for the show - the song is addictive.



Check out BloodCopy for a recently turned vampire's account of how humans and vampires can "learn to coexist". It's chock full of fun goodies for True Blood fans, with written posts about recent events in Bon Temps plus videos of everything vampire-related. I enjoyed watching episodes of "The Perspective", a vampire news show.

And there's the American Vampire League headed by Nan Flanagan, that blonde lady that's always in the news fighting for vampire rights.

On the flip side, check out the Fellowship of the Sun's Reflections of Light show for their anti-vampire propaganda.

Learn about the city of Bon Temps at their website here.

And finally, a sneak peek at what's to come for Season 2.



P.S. Has anyone tried LoveBitten? HBO has taken some really unique approaches toward promoting the show...

Addicted to Looklet

If you love to play dress-up, Looklet is a new website that allows you to create your own outfits using pieces from their online fashion closet. The entire outfitting process is very user-friendly, allowing you to easily mix and match, layer, tuck in or out, and button or unbutton pieces. You can save your outfits to share with friends or enter them into their styling contests to win prizes. Think of it as paper dolls for grown-ups, it's quite addictive.

Boys Over Flowers

This my not be your cup of tea, but I've recently been sucked into the blackhole that is called "Hallyu" for the second or third or bazillionth time. For those of you who are unfamiliar with "Hallyu", it's best you not know until you're well prepared for the consequences. You'll be cooped up in your room, rotting away for days at your computer chair. You may question your taste in television entertainment but not be able to look away. You may witness unspeakable acts of cuteness. You may feel an irrestible impulse to buy a plane ticket to Korea so that you can find yourself a hot man.

For days on end, I have watched episode after episode of "Boys Over Flowers," a Korean drama series based on the popular Japanese manga, obsessing over the love triangle that is Goo Joon Pyo loves Geum Jan Di loves Yoon Ji Hoo. It's kind of like Gossip Girl because it's set in an academy where all the rich kids go, but there's a lot more physical violence (in addition to the expected social cruelty) plus tons of cliche moments/tv tropes/guilty pleasures like makeover transformations (which I personally thought were for the worse), social class differences, Austenian pride vs. prejudice, costume at a non-costume party, that scene from Sandlot where the kid fakes drowning so he can kiss the hot lifeguard. All the good stuff.


And best of all, hot men. Better than that, hot, WELL-DRESSED men. The fashion for men in this show can be kind of out there, but I wish more men would dress like these guys in real life.


So if you have your life a weekend to spare, here's a high-quality, English-subbed video for the first ten minutes of episode 1 (it gets better later in the episode):



Don't say I didn't warn you when you find yourself days later sucked into this series which resembles The Hills with a nine-member girl group, while simultaneously catching up with old episodes of Full House and My Girl.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

I went to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 yesterday with two of my closest friends, and I have to say... it wasn't as good as the first one. The sequel seemed to jump around, with each girl's storyline so disconnected. And so much was happening, it veered into sappy soap opera territory. To enjoy the movie, you had to forget about reality and just enjoy the scenery - because really, that's the real reason most of us will go see this movie for, to see these four successful starlets come together on the big screen (and to drool over Michael Rady's Kostos, and now newcomer Jesse Williams).

I have to say I was inspired by the girls' wardrobe, especially Lena's grecian-inspired white dresses with matching espadrilles and Bridget's "Indiana Jones"-esque vests and work boots.

I loved how Kostos and Lena only wore white in the boat scene.



Lena (Alexis Bledel) pairs her white dresses with espadrilles. Rekindling my longing for a pair of espadrilles, I set off to find out where her shoes are from. Acccording to Premiere Props, she wears Michael Kors' Stinson Espadrille in navy stripe fabric and Anne Klein's Judine espadrille in white.
