Super Powers Anyone?




Ben and I went and saw Dark Knight over the weekend. I hoped the movie would be good but didn't have high expectations, mostly I just wanted to be entertained for a few hours. I was very entertained. And scared. Just a side note here, this movie is only rated PG-13 but in my opinion is not for kids. Heather Ledger is a genius as the joker and also terrifying. I was so scared I almost peed my pants. As my nephew Akeke would say, "too scary dada, too scary".


Anyway, this post was not meant to be a movie review but more about the fact that since seeing the movie I have been daydreaming about being a superhero. Not Batman exactly but definitely tight black leather is involved. I'm not even sure what my super powers would be, they don't figure into my daydreams as much as the outfits do. It's definitley more about the outfits. Tight black vinyl pants and Christian Louboutin spike heels. Heaven. The superhero Erin would definitely wear Christian Lou's. (Super Erin would also weight 115 pounds so as to be able to pull off black vinyl pants and spike heels). I would also be able to run as fast as the speed of light in them.

I think Batman would go for a girl in spike black heels and I would definitely be after Batman, I heart Christian Bale. A lot.

I wonder why the obsession with superheroes. I remember my youngest brother Sean and the obsession he had with Batman for about 2 years. The Batman sheets and the Batman cape that he wore everywhere, even to bed.

Ben once jumped off a picnic table in his superman underoos, sure they gave him the power to fly. He cracked his head open. This was of course when he was a kid, way before I knew him, obviously.

Myself, I was kind of a Pink Power Ranger kind of girl.

Just curious what super power do you wish you had?

It's that time again.



Considering my obsession last weekend I'm not sure how I managed to miss that this week was the Project Runway Season 5 premier. I apparently have been living in a vortex. It took a phone call from MFBD's to clue me in. Now I am anxiously awaiting Thursday so that I can watch both the 1st and 2nd episodes. I will have to avoid my favorite blog, Project Rungay, so that I'm not swayed by their opinions before seeing the first episode for myself.
I'm hoping for an awesome season but I'm not sure if you can top the drama from last season caused by the queen of ruffles and puffy sleeves. We shall see...opinions and pictures of amazing clothes to come soon.

The Wedding

My obsession with the wedding grows daily. I've finally got the wedding blog I promised many of you up and running. Check it out at my wedding blog .
