Why #50 Shades? Why not #Sempre?

Ms M and I were having a discussion about why some of our other favorite fanfics couldn't be turned into movies. We love, love, love Emancipation Proclamation aka Sempre! Personally, I would love to see EP as a movie! Peter Facinelli as Cullen mafia dad would be super yummy- The story has a great plot and character development. It also touches your heart and does more than just get your panties wet. 


I was hoping with the publicity of  50 Shades that it would bring to light the other published fanfiction. I guess we will wait and see. Maybe we should all tweet to eonline and EW to make our point known. God knows Khar deserves a movie deal too! 


Who would we cast in EP/Sempre? Ugh! I'm sure young Hollywood could supply 2 good actors to be E and B. And for us older ladies-- some great scenes with Peter and other 'mafia' members. Dare I say, Ian Somerhalder :-) Channing Tatum... I wonder if Khar has anyone in mind who could play the parts. 


The thing is EP/Sempre would draw in both men/women with the drama of the mafia and then the loving relationship of E and B. 


Damn if, as news outlets are reporting, KStew is looking into starring in the part of Ana in 50 Shades, maybe she could do EP/Sempre also. Her and RPattz could just keep making fanfics... 


Other fan fics that we wouldn't mind seeing turned into movies include: The Office (Ian Somerhalder = Beautiful Bastard); The Submissive trilogy (which I actually could get into a lot more than MOTU/50 Shades); Hockeyward (This could be a great romantic comedy) 


Ladies, please get your screenplays ready! 

Ms M, A Little Henry to Cheer You Up

So now Ms M has reentered the work world this week and unfortunately she is secluded from all of the outside communications. Seriously-- no cell phone access, no internet, and her phone is monitored. You would think she worked for the Secret Service. I'm home today because the kiddo is sick-- so I'm taking the time to watch Green Lantern. Not really watching it for content- just for almost nude moments of Ryan Reynolds. But to my disappoint there has only been one of those so far. 


But I digress- I'm actually wanted to discuss the hot topic of who will play Christian and Ana in the movie version of 50 Shades. 


The gross comments (from my opinion anyway) are Dakota Fanning or Selena Gomez as Ana. Eww! Great suggestions for Christian included: Henry Cavill. Yes, Yes, Yes! Um, you've seen his ads for Dunhill Black, right? Extra Yummy! I would be submissive to that! But do I want him flogging Selena or Dakota! NO! I'm not sure who would fit the girl role. Dare I say myself or Ms M? LOL! Yes, we are too old, but a girl can dream! 


And to seal my nomination for Henry Cavill as Christian Grey--- here is a video that I will Ms M could watch at work to cheer her up-

Popular Culture? Yes Please!

After trolling some other blogs in our "age" group we began to wonder-when did it become taboo to enjoy the things that were popular or considered fads?

It seems as though in an attempt to be cool you can't like anything that "is" cool at the moment.

I guess that makes us extremely nerdy around these parts of the woods because we LOVE popular culture!! And when I say we LOVE it...I mean we FUCKING LOVE it!!

As for music: We love listening to the top 40 stations. Ms J knows every word to the Jay-Z song he wrote for Blue Ivy (Glory) and when I hear an Adele song I can't help myself but to turn it up. Are we rocking out to some Fun "We Are Young"? YES we are!!

As for TV: Where do we start? Do we love The Vampire Diaries? DUH! How about the Secret Circle..yup! Revenge? Yes Yes! American Horror Story, Walking Dead, The Voice, American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, The Soup, House, True Blood, Supernatural, The Soup, Flipping Out, Interior Therapy, Hoarders, Storage Wars (YUUUP!), Storage Wars Texas (Bring It!!), My Crazy Obsession, My 600 lb life, Celebrity Rehab, along with every fucking talk show there is...Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yeeeeeeeeessssssss!

We live for it all!!

Don't get us started on Movies...we love those too! Redbox is our BFF! and Tuesdays are the best day of the week!

I think it all started when we were kids. My grandma and Ms J's mom were both Soap Opera JUNKIES and instead of getting to watch Sesame Street or Kaleidoscope like all the other kids our age we were watching Bo and Hope get it on and Sami Brady whip up her newest scheme with Lucas to break up Carrie and Austin. We will still turn on DOOL every now and then just to get a glimpse of EJ naked...YUM!

Along with being Soap Junkies, our "parents" were also Celebrity Gossip Whores...We had access to every magazine available: The National Enquirer, People, Star...oh sure we knew most of the shit in there was....well...shit, but we ate that "shit" up! We knew by the 3rd time they said Janet Jackson was going to have alien baby twins and she didn't - that the stuff was BS-but it was still fun. Still today when waiting in the doctors office if I am given the choice between National Geographic and People....I choose PEOPLE! Every FUCKING time!

As for fashion: We enjoy pretty shoes and things that make us feel like girls. Just because Bella Swan pulled off looking like a thrift store lesbian in Twilight and still got "the guy" doesn't mean it works in real life.

What we really don't understand about all these sites taking a "stand" against Pop Culture is just by having a "Twilight" Blog...you have already succumb to it...you can't have it both ways. Especially considering Twilight has been one of the biggest Pop Culture phenomenons in the last 10 years.

We are not saying you can't have your own style...perhaps ya'll don't feel comfortable shopping in the juniors department, perhaps dresses and heals aren't your thing. Each his/her own!! Our point here is why make others feel bad for liking the "Popular" stuff.

Now I gotta go--I have a DVR that is 87% Full....

Thanks, Entertainment Weekly, NOT!

So a few weeks ago, Dr. Drew and the Today show found out about 50 Shades...but my husband was already at work that day and doesn't have time in the mornings to really watch-- but the crew over at Entertainment Weekly had to publish a review, a full fuckin' page review, and detail how it was related Twilight fanfiction.

Here's the problem- I don't know if your husband or significant other knows your naughty little (or in some cases not so little) lemony reading habit. Mine does not, neither does Ms M's. Which leads them to wonder why Ms M's fantasy football team is the "Lemonheads" :-)

My husband knows that people write other stories using Twilight characters called fanfiction. Ms M's husband thinks she reads 'free stories' online.

Bottom line: We don't want them to put this all together that us reading 'fanfiction' or 'free stories' equals us reading lots of lemony bits of Edward and Bella.

Why you ask do we not want them to know? Maybe they would think, "Eww that's gross!" or "Great! What's in that story we can try?" or last but not least, "So reading about Edward make you horny?"

Over here at the Lemon Society, we would like to ask you: does your SO or DH know? Does he approve?

Hypnotizing Thursday

Just in case you needed a little somethin'-somethin' to get you through the rest of your work week:



Or perhaps you just need to be "Entertained"



Aaaannnnd you are welcome!

51 Shades

The other day we noticed a link on Twitter with a parody to 50 Shades of Grey called 51 Shades and we had to read it. Holy Poopsicle sticks ladies, this is some funny shit! It is a WIP with the following statement:

"New episodes posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, until a publisher hands me a fat stack of Benjamins and offers to publish it. Then I'll take it down, change the characters' names to "Edward" and "Bella," and hide from my fans in my new McMansion in a gated community in Beverly Hills."

If ya'll have AAANNNYYY sense of humor at all...you have G.O.T. to read this. We were crying we were laughing so hard.

Here is the Link: 51 Shades

Hello Sweethearts...

Some days I get worried that I will forever leave an imprint of my ass on the couch... and this is totally one of those days. I seriously haven't moved all fucking day (except to take a shower this morning). It's a wonder I don't weigh 500 pounds and have my own reality show.

Anyway....you might ask what I have been doing all day... reading fanfic or being an active member of the "Book Club" as JME and I call it.

Today I was consumed with this little gem: Time of Your Life by MidnightLove87. It's a work in progress but the author sometimes updates several times a day. The chapters are short and sweet and the story moves really fast....oh and there are L.E.M.O.N.S.! Always a favorite around here.

So, if you are running short on new things to read, or just in between updates on your other favorite stories...give it a try! You will be squirming on your sofa just like me!

Monday Blues? We Have The Cure!

Is Monday sucking the life out of you? Are you wanting to stab a co-worker in the head with a rusty railroad tie?

Well, we might have something to cheer you up for about 3 minutes and 52 seconds...and maybe even more if you put this on REPEAT!





By the way...Could March 15th just hurry up and get here?

Dr. Drew ... 50 Shades ... Opinions ... Oh My!!

Well, the fandom was in an uproar today wasn't it? And what would the world have come to if we didn't have an opinion on the matter?

Soooooooooooooo...here goes........

We are sort of torn... First off, one of us loved the story the first time she read it-then she read it again and couldn't get over the fact that the author used the phrase "and that was my undoing" describing Edwards smell about fifty million times. If only my husband could sent me into a multiple orgasmic epileptic episode by just smelling good....but digress.

Second, another one of us couldn't get into the story because of all the British slang. The story was suppose to be set in Washington or Oregon or some shit like that, but yet there was a shit ton of European words to describe things. Makes. No. Sense.

Third, all of us here had already read Tara Sue Me's epic fanfic The Submissive (and The Dominant, and The Training) which were all very well written and researched. It even made us consider the idea of getting flogged (just saying! I mean ya'll can keep the nipple clamps, but the little whip with the tassels on the end...with Edward holding it...hmmmm....). And I am sorry but MOTU just didn't stand up to The Submissive when it came to well written BDSM.

Now it may seem like we are just on a Fifty Bash-We assure you we are not. I even think The Good Doctor could learn a trick or two from Fan Fiction (trust me Dr. Drew-your wife would LOVE it...go ahead...rip her panties off!!).

We just feel sort of ripped off that out of ALL the fanfictions out there...THIS was the one to make headlines. Not The Office with all its panty ripping glory, not EP with his message about slavery and sacrifice, not Tattward, or Hockeyward, or Footballward, or Professorward (x2), or Nerdward, or Daddyward, or Doctorward...(ya'll know we could go on..right?) ...

Or perhaps we don't want our secrets out there...What would Dr. Drew say if he knew that MOTU...err I mean 50 Shades is mild compared to some of the stuff we read.

xoxo

Ms M

PS-Just so everyone understands - we are in no way trying to BASH any author here. It isn't like we could have written anything that was even 1/4 as good as some of the stuff that is out there!
