Me and Ben on the Red Carpet
For those you that don't know I am a big "Movie Buff." I don't ever really watch T.V.. Occasionally I will watch Dancing with the Stars or So you think you can dance and I have never had cable until I moved into my house two years ago and that is just because it is included with the HOA Fees. But talk about movies and I am there. I love just sitting down and curling up to a good movie. I love crying my eyes out to a great movie, Notebook, Titanic, Pay it Forward, Message in a Bottle, Finding Neverland, Cinderella Man, Gladiator, and Braveheart...those are some that get me everytime. I love laughing to movies...Some of my favorites are; Happy Gilmore, Dumb and Dumber, Rush Hour, and Tommy Boy. Some that I just love cuddling up to are Count of Monte Cristo, Serendipity, Sweet Home Alabama, Spanglish, and Dan in Real Life.
My Mom started doing Oscar Parties for me and my friends when I was in highschool and we would vote on the ballots on who would win and I remember my friend Hayley got first prize and she was so excited and it tickled my mom that we all loved it so much. We just started the tradition and kept it going year after year and I would even come home from college to attend the party and bring some friends along. We dress up every year and you can dress up as a favorite actress or actor or just come in your formal and have great treats and company and vote on who you want to win. Ever since I came home from college I have started my own and have done them with friends and have had such a blast doing it. It's a chance to wear all my old prom dresses, at least the ones I can still fit in! This year was really fun and a great turn out. I was really excited about the movies this year too and it was a tough competition. I loved Blind Side, Up, Princess and the Frog, and Avatar were all of my favorites this last year and screamed whenever they won! It amazes me the talent and the work that goes into movies and how more and more get released and its a night to feel like a star!!! Thanks Mom for such a fun tradition!
