{Tunes} on Tuesday: Featuring Nancy Sinatra

I'm completely obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance this season and every time I watch it I get a little bit depressed that I am not a dancer and that I don't have complete control of my body (and let's not even mention that amazing flexibility!)  I was really excited when this song started playing, I love its simple drama. I love Nancy Sinatra. And I especially love when she's paired with such a cool dance. Excuse me while I go practice my splits...

{For Fashion's Sake} Saturday: Cinnamon Lips & Candy Kisses

So You Think You Can Dance has sucked me in to another season. 

I haven't watched since the second season, but one day i got bored, watched one, and now i'm HOOKED!

Everytime i see that show i start hating myself for not being a dancer. they really, really do blow my mind. 

There's a blonde girl who made it to the top 20 that i think is probably the most gorgeous blonde i've ever seen in my life.

i'm kind of obsessed with her. mostly her hair. its crazy, big, natural (i assume) curls and i almost want to scalp her and stick it on my head. that, or get a perm.

obviously one of those is a way better idea than the other. i'm just trying to figure out which...

but seriously, am i crazy for wanting a perm?

i know, i know, but have you seen the girl i'm talking about? 

can you blame me!?

i need that hair!

until i get brave enough i guess i'll just have to rely on my hana salon flat irons.

I've finally figured out how to do the flat ironscurl and i've found it lasts a lot longer than my curling iron curls. So until i get a perm, this will do.

do you have any perm horror stories you feel obligated to tell me?

specifically perms + bleached hair?

{Tunes} on Tuesday Featuring: Waiting for Guffman

While watching an edited Waiting for Guffman this weekend a scene came on where they were eating Chinese food. It was almost 10 o'clock at night and Marcus and I turned to each other suddenly ravenous with hunger. We immediately called Kwan's Sampan and they said they's stay open late so we would have time to pick up some food! Haha clearly we have no self-control. Thanks Lauren for introducing us to the goodness of Kwan's.
How are you effected by the visuals of food?

Here is our favorite scene from the movie, which also qualifies as my {tunes} on tuesday for today:


 here's a link to a better quality version, but it won't let me embed it here.I die a thousand deaths when i watch this.****Current giveaway winner announced over HERE!

bucket lists.

While in Ireland I made a list of 'Life Goals'. Most rather extreme, but life is for living, so why not make it count?One was dancing the Tango in Buenos Aires.As soon as I got back I found an Argentine Tango class at ASU and I fell in love.It's a dance with so much emotion and since I'm a closet actress, I love to do anything that allows for character development. 

Dancing at ASU with my favorite friend from Germany

I danced it for 2 years before moving to Idaho and saying goodbye to my favorite hobby. Before I agreed to marry Marcus, I told him he'd either have to learn the tango, or be okay with the fact that I was, at some point, going to go to Argentina and dance with some man that was not him. And I was going to like it very much.He didn't so much like the second idea, so he agreed to the first.Ahhh, that's my boy...Finally the time has come, we found a class taught by my ASU teacher, but it's at a community college in the area so we don't have to pay university tuition. We start at the end of this month and I'm completely ecstatic!I've attached a few videos for your viewing pleasure. The first one's rather passionate, just so you know.The second is a couple that I took a three day workshop from, they're really amazing and super nice, and the last one is my beautiful and talented teacher.
What's on your bucket list?

{Tunes} on Tuesday Featuring: Dirty Dancing

It's officially Summertime and now that I'm married, this is all I want to do.

All. Summer. Long.
(because married people are allowed to do this sort of thing:))

and if I have to drink a few more of these, I guess i wouldn't mind too much...


What Are You Looking Forward to About Summer?

{Tunes} on Tuesday (500) Days of Summer [Bank Dance]

the only way i could possibly feel happier about this is if it actually happened...to me. 

enjoy.

Also, what were your feelings on this movie? I heard a lot of mixed feelings, and although I can understand why, I totally and completely related with it, and LOVED it with all my heart. Please, share your thoughts.

{Top Five} Friday

Happy April!
{Top Five} things I'm so happy about right now:

1. You all know, I love me some color.

2. She is breathtaking and this is the epitome of perfection.

3. This little girl is such a gem. I want one.

4. This App is kicking my butt. and i like it.

5. Him. No foolin'

Did you see my new buttons? Over there >>>>. Maybe you should grab one, or maybe you should go eat some pie. Both of those things sound really great right about now.
What's Making You Happy Right Now?

{Tunes} on Tuesday Featuring: Ingrid Michaelson and Choreographer, Bret Easterling

If I were going to devote my life to dance, Contemporary Modern might be my dance of choice. It makes me so happy.

When I saw this on Brunette Bombshell's blog I had a flashback to the good ol' days when I was addicted to 'So You Think You Can Dance?' I would watch it at night, before I would go run the Westwood track. Then, with my iPod blasting, rather than run, I would modern/interpretive dance around in the dark.

Mind you have no idea how to dance like that, but it made me happy to pretend, so that's the way it was--Crazy Ashley dancing the track every night, happy as a lark.

I wonder if one day I'll develop a sense of shame or embarrassment? Oh, how bored I would become...

What type of dance would you choose?
