Tomorrow I will have a fantastic post for you guys. TODAY I am
blogging about what I call cotton candy. It has no real value, has no
nutritional value, it doesn't keep you full but MAN is it good.
I, like every
other woman started reading Fifty Shades of Grey.
I read the book in 2 days, and was hungry for more! While I was reading I
realized the main characters reminded me of two other very famous
characters--Edward and Bella. Fifty Shades of Grey started out as Twilight fan
fiction, which I figured out after some internet trolling. The popularity of
Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey really says something about us as females.
The male characters like to control their women--but not just that they like to
take care of them physically and financially. It is interesting in
this day and age of independent women, non-traditional gender roles etc-- most
women (not all) still like to, (or at least like the idea of) be taken care of
by a man--above all being protected by him. If that wasn't true then these
books wouldn't be so popular. Innately we want a man to be our savior
and protector even still in 2012. Just something I find interesting.
That is not what
this post is about! This post is about who I would cast in the Fifty Shades of
Grey movie! I have really strong feelings about this.
In my head I
picture Christian Grey looking a lot like Alex Pettyfer. Dirty blonde hair and light eyes--not tan skin, but
not pale either. E.L. James describes Mr. Grey as having copper
hair--which I hope they ignore when making the movie--copper is in the
neighborhood of red. Christian Grey is no ginger.
