I want to have a Geordie makeover & Day 17

Geordie Shore was everything I wanted it to be. Dirty and nutty, filthy and slutty. These kids are crazy.



I thought I wouldn't like Vicki, but I just might... if she keeps up the levelheadedstreetness she exhibited in the first episode. And yet, Charlotte-Letitia will most likely stay my fave.

I care nothing for the gym bunnies, ahem...boys. The old guy is cool(ish) though.

After watching Geordie Shore last night, I've decided I need another go at a night out with the lads in Newcastle. We attempted it, sort of, with the Christmas Curry Dinner...but because we hadn't completely shed our Sensible Ladies' persona, it was a bit tame.

I think, that if I were to go full out using fake eyelashes, hair extensions and some spray tan along with a short dress and high heels, then I can get a "native" experience. I'm thinking of calling it "Midsummer's Night Out"... whatchoo think? Missy, you up for it?

Day 17- Book turned movie and completely desecrated.

I mentioned it earlier this week... but Michael Ende's The NeverEnding Story ain't what you see on celluloid, kids.

FOR INSTANCE, raise your hand if you know the Child-like Empress' name? Ah...just a couple of you. Well, the movie ends basically a scene or two after the Empress gets a new name and Bastian goes nuts with Falkor.

But in the book, it's only the middle. The story's just getting started... remember? The NeverEnding Story?

Here's a nice list of the differences:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_NeverEnding_Story_(film)#Differences_from_the_novel  because I can't be bothered to elucidate, as I feel it'd be akin to plagiarism

Apparently, there's a new adaptation in the works, thanks to Leonardo diCaprio. He's such a child of the 80s.  Probably why. Look for it in 2014!

  1. I always feel like such a failure as I have never read the Neverending Story. I don't think I've seen the film either?!

    Hahah!! That night sounds pretty cool! I need to shatter some illusions- I verty rarely fake tan, I don't frequent the hotspots the shore go to and I can't drink half as much as them - well unless it's just vodka!! I do know a few things about geordie dress code. Back in the day I wuold rock mini skirts, tiny top, stiletto heels and no coat. Even in snow. I still have this in me... I'm just getting old haha!!! If you're up in town for a night out we should definitly catch up for a drink..or two!

Thanks for leaving a comment if what I wrote struck you as something to laugh, think, or argue about. If you think I'm champion enough to give an award to, thanks, but I respectfully decline the blog herpes. Please burn it in the fiery pit of Mordor. Thanks!
