BTD Music Video

So the Back to December video premiered January 13th (get it 13, because that's her lucky number?), anyway, to be completely honest, I was expecting a lot more.
The same person who shot Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" video did Taylor's and, maybe it's just me, but I was kind of.. well, bored alot throughout the video. I kept waiting for something to happen, the best lyrics in the song would about to play, and I'd be on the edge of my seat waiting for what was going to happen.
Nothing.
On a positive note, the snow in the house was really amazing and symbolized how she felt. Really that was the only thing I really liked in the video.

Sorry Taylor:(


Ashley out!

Nail News!

So we all know that I love nail polish. Particularly OPI Nail Lacquer..
Are you ready for this?
I think I posted something about this maybe months ago, but then again I could have typed it as a draft and not posted it..
KATY PERRY AND JUSTIN BIEBER HAVE THEIR OWN NAIL POLISHES FROM OPI!
Oh. MY. Gawd!

Of course I am super excited and totally waiting for the lovely shiny bottles to arrive to Ulta so I can go and buy them ALL.

Okay I know what you all were thinking when you finished the all caps sentence..
Justin Bieber nail polish?
Yeahhhh, I know what you're thinking, but wait! He wasn't the one who came up with the idea.
He totally didn't think it was something he could go through with but then his people along with the Nicole OPI peeps had to really sell it to him. I mean what girl with BiebFev, which is like a 1:3 ratio (I seriously just made that up, but I have a gut feeling I'm awfully statistically correct) wouldn't want to have something cute (the nail polish) that connects her even more to a celeb crush? Especially something she'll look at through the day and think of JB.
C'mon..
Plus, one of the reasons he went through with it is because he got to have a donation of all the sales to go to a charity that the name of escapes me.. Something with Pencils in it..
Anyway, I'm so gonna buy them and they all are very cute colors/glitters.
Names include: One Less Lonely Glitter (purpley glitter), Prized Possession Purple (purple), Give Me The First Dance (silver), Me + Blue (..blue), CMB! (red), Step 2 The Beat of My <3 (glittery hearts), and also My Lifesaver which is a cool muted green not pictured.

 Katy's collection blew my mind like, forizzle.
Last Friday Night, Not Like the Movies, The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream and Black Shatter.
The Black Shatter lacquer is especially amazing, because when it dries it leaves a cracked up pattern like is top.
So. Excited.




Ashley Out!!

P.S. all these glittery nail polishes are coming out, but I would just like to say:
I had them first! Ask anyone. Well.. maybe not anyone.

I'm Sorry.

I haven't posted since last year.
I've been spending all my time on tumblr, and there isn't a blogger app!
I checked.
Buuuuuuuuut!

One of my New Year's resoultions is to update my blog more.
I feel kind of bad because I've written sooooooooo many drafts it's unreal, and I haven't posted them because I'm frickin' lazy and well. Now all of them are kind of old news.
So I'm starting over today:D


Ashley Out!

P.S. I would check out tumblr if I were you

Bieb Confessions.

Okay people. Here it is.

..I think I officially have BieberFever.

It only took three years of him being out, and bellowing his-at first little boy voice, and now-what sounds pure, mature, and did someone say hawt?

Oh right, I did.



Now, I’m not the “OHMUHGAWD x 128497 Justin is SOooOOooOO hooottttttt!!!” type. I just really like the way his voice sounds. Even when it was little kiddish, I knew it was something special. A lot of people downed him because of his “kid look” okay, I’m just saying that, that kid is now one of the most searched, listened to, and bought artist right now.

I’d tell you you could take it to the bank, but he did that for you.



Reading his Memoir, (I know right? He’s one sixteen and has a freaking Memoir?! His life hasn’t even started yet! ..That’s what I thought. I was offfff.) I really have a newfound respect for him. He honestly cares about his fans, and not just because they’re (mostly) a bunch of hormone enraged teenage girls, but they are the ones who started him. Who made him.

And lets face the facts.. What teenage boy doesn’t have girls on his mind, all the time.

Yeah, so it’s not really all that crazy and he’s not girl obsessed, think about how his girl fans would feel if he just ran past them not bothering to look them in the eyes or reach out to touch their hands.

Mhm, not good.

In his book he talks about how when he was younger girls never looked at him because he was short and skinny, but he always knew when and what to talk about with girls and when to not say anything. He talks about how his mom taught him to appreciate girls, and he talks about how sometimes when he’s flirting he tries not to sound cocky, but sometimes it just comes out that way but it’s sooo not what he means.

This dudes not a jerk. Let me tell you.



I don’t think anyone really doesn’t like him.

I mean, if all that’s holding you back from listening to his music is him being a skinny short Canadian, or a sixteen year old who only sings about girls, he seems cocky, all he does is talk about girls,

You’re missing out because:

a) He might not be the buffest guy, but he is cute. I think he kind of has a baby face, and it’s not like he’s Ashton Kutcher, but the dude is attractive.

b) He doesn’t only sing about girls. This dude has soul, but the songs that are about girls are so sweet I don’t understand how any female could resist.

c) like I said, he doesn’t mean to sound cocky, but what do you expect from a dude that’s overwhelmed by having thousands of girls wanting his number? And more..

d) I guess this kind of goes along with ‘b’ but if you stop hating and take the time to listen to his music, you will find songs like “Down to Earth” or “Pray” and many (but not many many cos this dude just started out c’mon) songs about life and it’s complications, and everything there is to life.

If you’re opinion is coming from only the songs you’ve heard on the radio, or his interviews on access Hollywood, I’m not saying your sources suck but, your sources suck.

It takes more than listening to the songs on the radio to decide if you don’t like the dude. OF course if you’re not into the whole “teenage love” thing, you’re not gonna like the songs on the radio.

Sex sells, duh.

And interviews, two words: sex sells.

Obviously the reporter isn’t going to ask about how he wrote the song “Pray” and where his inspiration came from. All they want to know is if he’s dating, and what kind of crazy things have girls threw at him.



So that’s basically everything.

Not.



You know how Katy Perry cannot sing live? Like, I love her and all, but she just can’t.

Neither can a whole, scratch that, neither can the rest of the people in the music industry minus a handful.

Justin is included in that handful.

His voice is going through changes just like every other teenage boy’s. People dog him so much because of it and I’m just like, ”You went through the same thing! I’m sorry you weren’t in the spotlight to let the whole world join in on the ride with you.”

Stop hating!
