Dear Clarissa…

Dear Clarissa,

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I know there are some days that are hard. But other days will be and are enjoyable.

Sometimes you question yourself on what to do in life and what is your purpose. But that never gets answered in a day. It takes a whole lifetime to try out new things to see what makes sense for you and what does not.

It will be a lifetime effort of trial and error but it should never seem like a contest. Just do the best you can. And when you think you are alone just stop and remember all the family and friends that love you.

The most important thing you yourself can do is love yourself. Share kindness and show encouragement to others. Remember that the world is sometimes cruel and cold but by no means you have to be.

~ ladycultblog ~ 2 Comments

Hello! The criterion Collection is once again offering 50% off all of the current CC’s for the next 24 hours! So if you are unsure of what to put in your cart or am looking for some different from your regular normal purchases. Here is my quick guide to my top five picks!  Please note I am try not to do repeating titles from past articles I have posted~! Here is my top five must grabs during the sale:

 

  1. 6_BD_box_348x490_original  Beauty and the Beast directed by Jean Cocteau (1946)- I know there is countless variations of this fairy tale classic but I enjoy this version a bit more due to this darker undertones.
  2. 29_DF_box_348x490_original  Picnic at Hanging Rock directed by Peter Weir (1975)-this is the kind of movie kind lingers in your movie. A true mix of mystery, drama that centers around a group of girls that go out on a field trip on Valentine’s  day and never ever made it back.
  3. 396_DF_box_348x490_original Ace in the Hold directed by Billy Wilder (1951)- Kirk Douglas is a conniving newspaper reporter that has done and will continue to do anything humanly possible to get his story. But has he gone to far this time?
  4. 421_pierre_original Pierrot le Fou directed by Jean-Luc Godard (1965) this movie is a mixture of themes. A bit of drama, comedy and mystery rolled into a six year road trip starring one of my favorite actors Jean-Paul Belmondo and also starring Anna Karina.
  5. 838_BD_box_348x490_original Pan’s Labyrinth directed by Guillermo del Toro (2006)- this was the first movie I saw by Guillermo Del Toro in the theaters. It was such a magical moment to see such a dark fairy tale unfold on screen. This movie also taught me that even adults should never ever loose their childhood imagination.

 

Happy shopping! Comment below and let me know what everyone ended up getting from the sale!

Until next time!

Man of the moment: OSCAR THE GROUCH!

~ ladycultblog ~ 4 Comments

OSCAR THE GROUCH :You are this week’s man of the moment!

One of his favorite things in the world is trash. He adores it so much that he made a song called “I love Trash.”

Oscar has a cool pet named Slimey that he considers his best friend. Plus Slimey is a worm! How many people can say that their best friend is a worm?! They met one day while Oscar was walking through the park while it was raining and past some worms playing in a mud puddle and noticed one worm playing alone.The worm saw Oscar and wiggled himself on his shoulder and fell asleep . Even the meanest of grouches still have a heart deep down somewhere and Oscar took him back to the trash can abode and named the worm Slimey. Thus cementing the cutest and oddest of friendships on Sesame Street!

Oscar the grouch went through a bunch of color changes first they wanted him to be purple

Then on the show he went on as an orange grouch

But then Oscar took a vacation to a place that was super muddy and grimy and had so much fun that he never took a bath or shower since then! So he quickly became the green color we all came to recognized!

Oscar the grouch has many great reasons why. His owns a car called “Sloppy Jalopy”.

Bruno the Trashman carries him around Sesame Street instead of walking.

He has a fashionable girlfriend named Grundgetta.

He stands his ground and defends his trashcan and tells everyone to to scram! Even though most of the time it his friends

These reasons and more make Oscar the grouch this week’s MAN OF THE MOMENT!!!!

Until next time!!

Hello everyone! I love to read that is one of my many passions in life. So I thought why not start a book club? Then I thought what would be a fun easy read to do?… so I came up with a Fear Street book club!

Here are a couple of rules:

-the book club will be 10-15 people. Possibly 20 max!)

– A new read will be every 30-40 Days so it gives everyone enough time for everyone to read the selected book and form thoughts and comments on the select title.

-a possible time frame for book discussion meetings will be agreed at a later time frame once the book group is formed.

-the book club member is in charge of getting there own book.

-serious inquires only.

– this club is open to everyone on the globe.

-You must have a gmail account because our book discussion are held usually the first Thursday of the month in the evening time (EST)

After reading all of the above info and you think hey this is pretty cool! Please dm me at my IG lady.cult and we will go from there! I will provide you with more information!

I went ahead and posted the picture above of the titles the first book club can choose one book from there.
