Books I Don’t Want to be Her Big Sister. Written by Duana I was a Brenda Walsh fan. I wanted to be her. She was sassy, stand-up-to-parents-y, super hair and didn’t take crap.

Gorgessity Carey grows her hair out At the Never Let Me Go presser yesterday. I had hair like this in 1997 and should have loved it more at that time. How was that 13 years ago?!?!

Harry Potter Great Skin & Gay YA As you know, I am all about reading YA. As I’ve noted, too many times, YA is way underrated.

Style Saoirse in green and as Katniss? Acclaimed young actress Saoirse Ronan attended the Irish premiere of Shrek yesterday in a pair of steezy pink chucks with a blazer, topped off with light green Ray-Bans which obviously I love because I have them too.
