"I only have 2 words to say to you: Jimmy Angelov..."
My favorite scene in Practical Magic is where Gillian meets Jimmy Angelov (Goran Višnjić)
This is how I discovered the song, "Is This Real" by Lisahall
Swapping Howdies decided to post SECRETS at her party! I LOVE her brain
This is my SECRET☟ though it's not that much of a secret ﺕ
Since it's such a short scene in the movie and I really want you to hear the whole song, I'll give you some different eye candy that I know you will still appreciate.
I know I do
This is the song "Is This Real" set to scenes from Blood Ties. Henry Fitzroy is defintely easy to look at and he's a Vampire. He's played by actor Kyle Schmid.
Sadly the show was cancelled in 2008.
Your Welcome!
I have the complete series on DVD ☻
Now, back to Practical Magic
I haven't read the book, I've only seen the movie.
If you'd like to read the book, this is what it looks like:
In The Movie:
The women in the Owens family are cursed with having their true loves die tragically. This is what happened to Sally and Gillian's parents. That is how they ended up living with their aunts. Gillian, the flirty, charming sister played by Nicole Kidman, wants desperately to fall in love. Sally, the more responsible and gifted sister, played by Sandra Bullock, decides that after all the heartbreak she's witnessed, she never wants to fall in love. So, she decides to cast an impossible spell to find her true love, knowing it can never be fulfilled.
"He will hear my call a mile away. He will whistle my favorite song. He can ride a pony backwards." "He can flip pancakes in the air. He'll be marvelously kind. And his favorite shape will be a star. And he'll have one green eye and one blue."
"The guy I dreamed of doesn't exist. And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart. And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart."
Those were my absolute favorite two scenes from the movie, but the entire movie is great. If you have not seen it already, then check it out.
I've got 3 more days til all the "LiKES" are tallied up and we find out who wins.
"Soul Gathering Contest" - The person who sends the most people to Night Terror Gloves. com FB page wins a replica Freddy glove made by Mike Ramirez. There is also a Night Terror Gloves website where you can purchase the gloves for yourselves.
There were a lot of people at the start of the competition. Now, there are only 3 of us who can possibly win. I really want that Freddy glove. 1 month is a really long time for this kind of contest. I AM WORN OUT! But, I am trying so hard to get as many people to the site as I can. So, help me out or my friend Freddy might visit you...
I will definitely be posting pictures if I win a glove.
There will be a Book 6 in the Apocalypse Babes series as well.
Setting: Montana, 1980 (United States)
The Z Word (Apocalypse Babes Book 1)
Published June 5th 2011 by CreateSpace
Synopsis from Goodreads
The Z Word follows Seffy Carter and her longtime friends Gareth, Addison and Lani. The four besties share a past dysfunctional and dark enough to keep them bound together under do-over identities. But rends develop in their relationships from the flesh-eating pressures of ending up in 1980, in a Montana desert, surrounded by zombies wearing dated disco duds.
Synopsis from Goodreads The X Factor finds the Apocalypse Babes friends, along with a few other lost L.A. stragglers, ensconced in a compound that may or may not be
run by evil Soviet scientists. Whether it's due to Bolshevik beliefs or
a manipulating girlfriend, nightmares are on the loose and they want what's
left of Seffy after the zombie attack. To make matters worse, one of the stragglers develops an unwanted attraction for Sef, and insists it's more
than just UST à la Mulder and Scully.
Seffy makes it back to 2006 West Hollywood on a retrieval mission only to find herself in a tangent universe where Arnold is still governor. She goes on the run from robotic-like killers who want her dead, and realizes that if she dies, the chance of her and her friends getting back home will forever be terminated.
When a mysterious faction at the Fugere compound resorts to extreme measures for crowd control, problems intensify, threatening not only life and limb, but the already fragile estate between the Apocalypse Babes and the Others--especially as things heat up between Seffy and Trent.
So, I overheard some ladies talking so animatedly one day about "crack" nail polish. The name was so interesting that I stopped to listen. I love nail polish, so I really couldn't help myself. I was curious, but kept my distance... The next day, as I was walking in Target, pretty colors in the distance caught my eye. I walked towards the eye candy and to my delight, I saw what appeared to be "crack" polish. The brand I saw was called "texture coat" from Nicole by OPI.
There are many different names (Krakl, Shatter, Crackle, Texture...) for this type of polish and there are several different brands. I purchased a few of them. So far, Nicole by OPI "texture coat" brand is the best. It's thick and comes out exactly like this picture. The other brands I have purchased advertise to look like this picture but when applied, look nothing like it. I'm going to keep looking for other great "crack" polishes.
I bought: 1st place -Nicole by OPI - the absolute BEST! 2nd place - Pure Ice "Crackle" - the cheapest 3rd place -Absolute!- NO, don't you dare!
I FOUND my "crack":
Nicole by OPI @ Target
Pure Ice @ Walgreens
Absolute @ Beauty Supply store
These are my nails after I applied BLACK crack polish over ORANGE nail color...
I used Nicole by OPI brand
How to apply:
✴Put two coats of any polish, let nails dry
✴Apply ONE coat of crack polish, let dry - it's like MAGIC, disappearing
✴Apply clear top coat to dry nails
With Nicole by OPI, one regular coat is perfect
With any other "crack" brand, you need to lay that ONE coat thick to get same result
