Old School Blogging – Pop Culture

Okay peeps, this month we want to know about what you like(d) out in the world of Pop Culture.  You know, shows, movies, actors/actresses, etc.

And please welcome my new co-hostess this month, Loukia from Loulou’s Views!  We have been bloggy friends for a while years and she has an affinity for Old School Blogging just like me so she’s a great fit!

Here we go!  Answer these questions, link up and spread the word via twitter (with hashtag #OSBlog) and Facebook!

1.  What was one of your favorite shows as a kid?  Why?

I really liked The Facts of Life.  That was the first one that popped into my head but there were SO Many others (Happy Days, The Love Boat {yes, really!}, Different Strokes, Full House, Growing Pains, etc. etc.).  I think I liked it so much because it was about a bunch of girls and I was stuck in the house with a bunch of boys (I have three older brothers, if you didn’t already know.)  Plus Blair’s hair was SO awesome and Natalie was hilarious.  And the episode where Jo got all made up and put her hair down and looked SO nice…  Now THAT is quality television, people!

2. Which actress(es) do you see on the red carpet and kinda wish you could be for a day (or three)?

Charlize Theron.  And and maybe Sofia Vergara.  Damn she’s hot.

3.  Which actor do you wish you could, um… hang out with? 😉

At the moment, Chris Pine.  Yummy.

(and  yes, I did just go to that link and spend 5 or 20 minutes looking at pictures of him, so what?!?)

p.s. wouldn’t those two above make some good lookin’ kids? BAM!

4. What is one (or two or some) of your favorite movies that you have seen in the last few years?

I really liked Silver Linings Playbook (very recent) and speaking of Jennifer Lawrence, I also liked the first installment of The Hunger Games a lot.  Plus, the latest Mission Impossible, Tin Tin (kids movie) and Inception.  Although my husband would probably laugh at that last one.  It was a really cool movie.  I need to watch it again.  Oh and The Hangover.  Stupid but really, REALLY funny.  Argo was really good too.

5. Who is one celebrity out there now that you could totally do without? That you wish would just disappear?

Kim Kardashian and that WHOLE crew.  Enough said.

6. Have you ever met a celebrity? If so, who? What did you say/do when you met them?

Not really… besides the ones I have met at blog conferences! Ha! I was in a movie theater once with the guy from Terminator 2… Robert Patrick.  And ended up talking about him to my friend in the ladies room while his wife was in there with us and we didn’t know it.  That was interesting… And I saw Shirley MacLaine in Crate & Barrel in Manhattan while I was there in the ’90’s for a college trip.  She was running the sales girl around like a maniac. Oh wait! I did meet some of the folks from The Carol Burnett Show at one of hubby’s work conventions several years ago… they were there performing.  It was Harvey Corman and Tim Conway.

And for the last one….

7.  Which shows do you look forward to watching every week?

I am an American Idol hold out and still watch that every season.  I also ADORE Modern Family (see girl crush picture above), my guilty pleasure is Revenge and during the summer I love So You Think You Can Dance. Oh an I still try to catch an episode of House Hunters here and there but otherwise, I’m kind of a t.v. slacker.
