I hate the "Vikings", come at me internet + nowistyle top

Taking on the advice of the blogging community and THE internet, we decided to try the new show "Vikings" (and by "we" I mean my imaginary friend and my two cats).

Apart from the fact that Rollo is extremely HOT, there is nothing more to say about this drag. I can't seem to identify the protagonists in this show. All of the characters are blunt, egotistical and boring. 

If Ragnar and his annoying wife are the protagonists, the writers messed up big time building those characters.

I "liked" the fact that a lot of innocent red shirts got killed because of Ragnar's selfish adventures, and even so, his annoying happy family is still alive. How come?

Ragnar's wife (I don' even remember her fucking name) is the most annoying for me. She has this constant constipated look on her face, which I suppose has to embodies a feisty spirit, but obviously fails at it.

The story itself is nicely written, they could have done a lot more with it and actually make a great tv series. But nooooooo, instead they focused on the self absorbed assholes of a characters.

I guess my frustration comes from the fact that there is no one in this show to root for. And people need someone to root for, someone who you would want to live, to be happy, to be successful. Even if that character is not a good natured cliche, even if he's a pain in the ass moron, there still has to be qualities in him that the viewer considers worthy of rooting for. The only one I can think of right now is Floki.

Sorry for bringing up "Boardwalk Empire" again, but this show is probably one of the best in tv history (alonside with Stargate SG1, Buffy, Rome and Firefly).

The one I'm rooting for there, is Richard. Man, that's the kind of guy I would give all my money, my car, my laptop, my virginity, my two cats, my apartment, my questionable cooking abilities just so he can be happy. And he' s not good, he's not bad either, he just is. And I can't help but connect with him and feel for him. That's what I need, but what I get are a bunch of people who I desperately want to die off like the pesky flies they are!

Fashiony part:  I stole this skirt form my mom's wardrobe. I guess skinny runs in the family. Top- nowistyle, skirt- mom's, wedge sneakers- River Island, bag-vintage.

Floral Granny

To be honest, my granny has a lot of dresses which look just like this particular top. That's why I consider black garments with flowers to be very granny-like, and even so, I can't stay away from them. I think the open back compensates and gives it a sexy vibe..I hope.

Boyfriend hates this top, which gives me the more reason to wear it, muahahaha! (evil laugh)

Fashiony part: Top- second hand, skirt- nowistyle, belt- Mango, bracelets- nowistyle, clutch-second hand (Bianco Gear)

Silver Linings wtf IMDB?

I am highly disappointed with IMDB. It used to be the only decent informative website about a movie's quality. A score higher than 6 is the equivalent of "meh..", 7 means nacho cheese marathon, higher than 7.8 meant- wow, this has to be the best movie ever!

Well, it wasn't. With a score of 7.9 "Silver Linings Playbook" scored in my book a 3. And I gave it a 3, because Bradley Cooper...



The stereotypes in this movie gave me an aneurysm. Our main protagonist Pat is bipolar, which obviously means behaving like a total douche 100% of the time.

At the first 10 minutes of the movie, I already wanted him to die..And that's a huge understatement..
"Boardwalk Empire" Gyp Rosetti is a psycho too, he scares the shit out of everyone, but he's still 10 times more likeable than Pat.




Tiffany on the other side, was even more annoying. Her character is supposed to be deep, layered by pain and desperation, instead, she was just as bad and crazy as Pat. 

Creating a fucked up female character is hard, but Tiffany is the product of a person who hasn't got the slightest idea of basic human behavior. She's a spoiled, winy, egotistical, hysterical brat and I really didn't feel anything for her.

Take Erika from "Detachment" for example (btw, why does this movie have such a lower score?). Go watch it now!
She's a prostitute, most people would say she's a mess, garbage, a whore, and yet, she's so likable. You want to see more and more of her, of how she reacts to the world, of how she grows, of what she is. Tiffany was the one dimensional splinter in my eye.

I really don't get movie's pretentiousness these days. Everybody are trying so hard to win an Oscar, they forgot how to  think.

Fashiony part: It's been very cold these days and I think it's because of all the concerts (We had Depeche Mode and  Bon Jovi here). Everytime there's a concert, few days earlier the weather decides to screw it up. I think it knows...how creepy is that? This is an outfit from few days ago, back when it was rainy and windy. I have a lot of ugly jeans that immediately transform into something cool with a little bit of tear, don't you think? Or do you think this is a look a hobo would fancy?
