Starting Over

So I first started this blog after watching Julie and Julia, thinking that I'd really focus on an aspect of my life and report to the world how I'm doing (I type with sarcasm).

I've decided to skip the Disney thing and focus on other aspects of my bustling life.

So first things first,

My Name is Megan.

I'm 20 years old and I love to read and sketch, sing, act, sew, etc. Sounds artsy and girly, right?
While, I have to admit that I do very girly things, I don't feel girly all the time. I have a very large problem with balance, I sometimes have issues walking on a flat surface with my bare feet- I will, undoubtedly, trip over something. Gravity and I are at odds with each other because he insists on making me meet the ground from time to time, even though I've expressed my outrage with him interfering in my business. ;)

I'm currently a junior in college and I'm going to school for Musical Theatre and I'm loving every minute of it. It's terribly hard and demanding most of the time but I relish in the toughness of it. It's tougher than most people realize. But I won't go into that now.

I'm from a large integrated family, I have many half- and step-siblings and family members, which causes a lot of tension and hilarity within the different households.

Life in crazy and frantic right now, but I love the fast paced nuttiness that hits me and my family at times like this.

That's all for now. I'm not sure how to go about the next post or what people would actually want to read but I'll come up with something.

Til then,

Toodles :)

A dream is a wish your heart makes...

Hello there!

I have decided, after deliberations, to just talk about the Disney Princesses... unfortunately there are so many movies and I really just want to focus on the Disney Prince (the ones having Men or a male character as the focal point, such as the Lion King) and Disney Princesses (hopefully you know who they are...) 

So there you are! Never the less I will continue to talk about these films! 
Therefore, the next film on the docket is the classic...Cinderella

Again I'm going to do this in a point format so that it's easier to follow...

1. Released in 1950

2. Based on a fairy tale called Cendrillon by Charles Perrault 

3. Was the first 'full-bodied' production since Bambi, meaning that Disney hired live models to help create the characters and their mannerisms. 

4. Cinderella was 'played' by two people...Helene Stanley (Cinderella's live-action model) and Ilene Woods (Cinderella's voice actor)...both provided ample characterizations for the animated princess.

5. Prince Charming (that's his legit character name...) originally had a larger role and more character development in the first draft but his scenes were cut because they were too long....

6. There were a couple of scene's cut from this movie as well as a musical number where Cinderella was supposed to imagine she was an army of maids so that she could get the chores done before the ball. Unfortunately, they were cut due to time constraints and Disney, himself, was concerned for the audience's sympathy for the scullery maid.  

7. This movie was the second in the Princess Legacy and if you were a little girl you knew that you had a fairy Godmother and she'd help you get to the ball and you'd find Prince Charming!

8. Disney has made 2 sequels called Cinderella  II : Dreams Come True and Cinderella III : A Twist in Time.

I love this movie because it shows that you can change your life and find happiness, all the while thwarting those ugly step sisters and that wicked step mother...

There have been many other versions made of this story also

1. Julie Andrews played the original Cinderella in the 1st live action film 

2. Brandy played a more recent version- in the multicultural version, along with Whoopi Goldberg,Whitney Huston, Jason Alexander, Victor Garber, and Bernadette Peters.

3. Ever After was also based on the fairy tale and hosted Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Houston.  

Well that's it for Cinderella...This movie is timeless...

 The next Disney Princess is...Sleeping Beauty!!

 

Someday my prince will come...

Like I said in my last post, I shall be talking about interesting/fun facts about Disney's theatrical released movies! (I have to say theatrically released or there would be too many movies to talk about)

This week I'm going to be talking about Snow White!! I'll be doing this in a point format so that there is some sort of order....

1. This was Disney's first ever feature length film, along with being America's first animated feature film, the first to be produced in color, and the first in Disney's Animated Classics canon..
        - lets just say that this movie had a lot of firsts! It's cool to think that Disney was the first to produce a film in color...the first ever in America!!

2. It's based on the Brothers Grimm German fairytale (which, as most Grimm Brothers tales are, is a lot darker than the Disney version...)

3. It was released in 1937

4. If you look at the cast list you will find it extremely short...there are only the bare essential voices for the necessary characters...If you watch the movie the animals don't have voices or make sounds, they merely have music to show their actions and feelings...

5. Introduced young girls to the concept of 'love at first sight'

6. Was the first Disney princess 

There isn't much to this movie, aside from the slightly creepy scenes with the evil Queen, it's a cute movie...true love prevails the end! Oh, one final note, this is the first movie that the prince rode off into the sunset with his beloved by his side with the 'and they lived happily ever after' concept!!

An Enchanted Moment

Inspiration struck me in the wee hours of the morning today when I realized, "I know what I'm going to blog about!!!" I was so very excited that I had to jump on here and write it all out for you...

My blog is going to be Disney oriented (At least for a while)

Now I know what you might be thinking- "Why the hell would I want to know things about Disney, what could she possibly tell me that I don't know already."-or something along similar lines...

But!! I want to assure you that there will be a least 1-2 things that you will learn about that you didn't already know... Now if you happen to be a uber Disney expert and I can't impress you with anything, please be my guest and fill me in on that and we can have a glorious discussion on all things Disney! 

Or if you want to just read about the cool little hidden meanings or things of the nature, along with interesting information belonging to the particular Disney movie, then I'm pleased to be something interesting to read! 

So without further ado, I will be starting with Disney's first!! Snow White!!


(Let me preface this by saying that I will be talking about the theatrical released movies made by Disney, because if I wrote about every single one that ever came out of the Disney warehouse then this would be forever long... :) )

New Direction

Hi! So I'm trying to figure out what my blog should be about...

As you can see I don't really have a definitive point to any of my point...sad really...

But I've been trying to see what I could talk about...so the next few posts will be trying to figure out what this blog should be about!

Until then, adieu!

So many things...

Hello there!!

So! First things first, the Harry Potter premiere was awesome!! The costumes looked great and as soon as I can I will upload pics of the finished results!

On to other things...

Don't you love it when you try so hard to make sure that someone you love doesn't do anything stupid? Or you want them to get over themselves and just be normal and not try so hard to be older than they are???

...If these don't apply to you then I commend you for having the perfect life! Sorry, I don't wish to offend.

I happen to have a problem with some of the people in my life...I'm not going to name names but I worry immensely for these people... I just want them to be safe and not get into trouble or have to worry about anything...

Am I trying too hard? Am I fighting a battle against an immovable object?? It certainly feels like it...

But unfortunately, I will continue to sit up late every night, waiting until I know that they are ok...

Costume Party

I'm in the process of making costumes for the premiere of the final Harry Potter movie ('Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2). If it's not obvious I'm in love with the Potter series then I've not been clear enough. I LOVE IT!!!! Any way...I've made two wands (Draco's and Hermione's) and one full costume (Bellatrix) and I can't wait to finish the rest...

I'm in the process of finishing the Bellatrix wand and putting together a Hogwarts robe.

My only problem with this process is that I'm doing this on an extremely limited budget... I'm reusing everything and trying really hard to make everything look like it does in the movies.

Why does everything have to be so expensive?? I just want to make a costume!

But I digress...I'll keep going with what's left of my resources and try to make this premiere an amazing one!
