I personally have had a fun and cute Christmas and have spent the past 12 hours getting framiliar with a new magenta Kindle Fire (word). I know it sort of comes off as the thing your parents buy you because you asked for an iPad for Christmas but they don't love you enough so they bought you a Kindle Fire, but I actually asked for one because I find iPads cumbersome and easily broken. I left my old Paperwhite Kindle in London on accident the day we left at a friends house, and it never made it back to the states because I think my friend just took it. Anyway, I totally recommend it to anyone who's looking for a really portable and adorbs tablet. It's perf for all the traveling I'm supposed to be doing soon, because it pre-loads your shows you watch on Amazon Instant before you even watch them so there's no buffering. Whaaaaat? Literal genius. Thats why these guys are rich. Also, you can download anything available on Amazon Instant onto it for long car trips or what have you free of charge. Which is, if you ask me, the best idea since free healthcare. It's just good. I'd recommend to a friend. Amazon should pay me for this. Anyway, moving on from this infomercial...
I thought it was ironic how James Franco played the older, attractive coach who preys on the younger girls on his soccer team after that scandal with him messaging underage girls in real life via Instagram, especially since he was probably in the process of making this movie during that time. I can't be sure though, just something I noticed.
Since I really wanted to break it in, I thought I'd check out what Amazon Prime Instant had on their repertoire, and I stumbled across Palo Alto and remembered how I've been meaning to watch it. I really loved the whole aesthetic of the film and how it touched on teen culture today.
I thought Emma Roberts did a great job in playing her part as a conflicted and very real teenage girl.

| love the poster art. |

| I thought the screencaps from the movie were really honest and reflective |
 |
| I love the dreamy look of scenes like this one. |

I thought the movie itself was pretty good, it was a little difficult to follow at points, and a lot of inferencing is involved with watching this. I was sort of confused with which teenagers liked each other at certain points, but maybe that was intentional. It was a very artistic and meaningful experience. Great movie for older teens and young adults.
On the theme of the art of moving picture, here's some television loves from the past month:
- Faking It (MTV)
- Girls (HBO) (Finished all 3 seasons in, like, a week) (obvi)
- Inside Amy Schumer
- All my usuals, The Mindy Project has been great so far, Brooklyn 99 has been okay, Bobs Burgers.
I'm so excited for the last season of Parks & Recreation, which comes out just a day before my birthday. I will cry every episode because it means we are closer to the end.
Anyway, another great holiday discovery I've made for myself is...
individual false eyelashes.
Straight up, they give me the confidence I need to be the best person I can be. No lie.
They've always been hard to come by where I live, but I always knew they were for me. The next town over's drug store finally started selling them (or maybe I just couldn't find them), and I picked up some individuals in medium and short and a strip lash set, and some Kiss eyelash glue that was pretty cheap and surprisingly pretty great! I've been using these babies right here
They are super easy to apply and just adding two or three on the outer corner/middle of your lashes makes a HUGE difference. Long, luscious lashes make me so happy, these jammers literally give me enough confidence to jump on a table in some 6 inch stilettos and sing every song from Rent to an entire unsuspecting restaurant. And I don't know any songs from Rent.
Here's me sporting the "short" lashes (which are not very short) (pro).

| They still look incredibly natural but with just enough oomf to make people afraid of me and what I can do |
As for fashion, I've really been experimenting more with my thrifted clothes and been increasingly interested in finding up-to-the-minute fashions at the local Goodwill's. (i.e. baller Hawaiian shirt that nobody appreciates besides me and like, two other ballers). Thrifting is another fav that isn't exactly specific to December, but I've been doing it a lot more recently.
The last of my loves of December is dark-ass lipstick. Berry tones are YES! They make me feel so fierce and evil in like the hottest way. It's a killer combo with a little over-drawing and cat eyeliner. Word.

| Moriticia Addams is obviously my role model here. And everywhere. |
I just ordered battery's for my other film camera that will hopefully produce less grainy film shots, so I'll be excited to shoot some film soon and share them with you once I eventually someday get them developed.
XOXO bye hunnies
