You mistake me. I was aware that the term "Thug Life" originated with Tupac, but I was not aware that it was an acronym for anything. The fact that you are 40 years old actually speaks volumes as you likely listened to Tupac's music when he was still alive. I'm saying as a 30 year old woman who did not listen to…

But Cinderella in marketing always wears BLUE! Which is probably why Aurora is in pink to differentiate the two. EXCEPT CINDERELLA'S DRESS IS REALLY SILVER!!!

You know what always gets me? At the end of Sleeping Beauty, Aurora is CLEARLY seen wearing the blue version of her dress. After all the bickering between Flora and Merryweather, when Aurora sees the dress and actually puts it on, it is Blue. At the very end they go back and forth changing colors, but again, it is…

OMG you guys if she goes with Sophia, just THINK of the marketing opportunities!!

My 2 year old daughter LOVES dipping. She asks for carrots and hummus for snack CONSTANTLY. We had this problem, though, where she would just dip the same carrot in the hummus again and again without actually eating the carrot and just licking it off. We came up with this idea of "eating like a shark" (aka biting)…

Definitely! A newer one with similar elements is Celia Rees' "Pirates." Also great female characters, though subplot that is heavily YA. It's a shame Hollywood shies away from films set on the ocean not featuring Johnny Depp.

My daughter has the Fisher Price Princess Castle and my absolute favorite doll that goes with it is Tiana. Not that big a fan of Princess and the Frog, but while all the other princesses are going on about balls and whatnot Tiana says, verbatim, "If you make a wish on the evening star, make sure you work real hard to…

And she rocks the Puppy Purse! http://omgthatdress.tumblr.com/post/40442704498/quvenzhane-wallis-puppy-purses-can-this

Thanks for the tips. I have REALLY liked some of the genderbent costume designs, especially that Han Solo.

I am always so impressed with the amount of time and attention to detail that goes into these cosplay designs. I am SO intimidated as I can't sew and the thought of the cost to buy something custom made is just overwhelming. Every time I go to Comic Con I always think "ok, this year I'm going to make/ wear something…

ooo. I likes! Very dapper. And a new option for cosplayers :-D

I actually liked the cover. The cover was one of the reasons (other than the good reviews it had been getting) that made me pick it up. Look! An actual person of color! On the cover of a book! A fantasy book! And she's not wearing a tight low cut blouse or leather urban fantasy pants! ::gasps::

I quite enjoyed the episode. I thought Jenna Louise Colman did a splendid job. Agree about the plot holes/ villain issues. The plot did definitely appear to be secondary to the character development, though I liked the humorous touches. Will 11 keep the outfit he wore in this ep? I really digged it. He got the…

I've shown my 2 year old Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Toy Story, and Wall-E. Yeah AUTO bites it at the end of Wall-E and it does take place in a post apocalyptic wasteland, but robots or toys breaking is just somehow so much more understandable than all the death etc. I mean, I love disney and I will totally show…

I enjoyed Map of Time (though that was a 2011 release). I get what you mean by the lack of clear plot, but I thought by the end that it all came together. I don't really have any desire to read the "sequel" though. I think it sort of ended as completely as I could have wanted it to. Yes, to your comment about…

Um... The Rook, anyone? Did it come out too early in the year that you forgot about it!! That book is just amazing. Jason Bourne + Harry Potter. I loved the crap out of it. There are several more fantasy titles I would add on here, particularly Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone, The Diviners by Libba Bray, The…

If he liked Wimpy Kid, there are a TON of Wimpy Kid knockoffs/ similar books that he might enjoy as well: Big Nate, Dear Dumb Diary, Milo: sticky notes and brain freeze, Dork Diaries, Middle School the worst years of my life, Origami Yoda, Adventures of Beanboy. If he is interested in history, but has trouble reading…

That is exactly what I saw too

I think the problem with the film was one of tone, which goes along somewhat with what has been said. I just finished rereading the book in prep for the movie so a lot of things were really fresh in my mind going in. This movie is SUPPOSED to be lighthearted. The dwarves are supposed to sing, the Goblin King is…
