Lucky 13

Poor number 13. Everyone loves to talk about how unlucky the number is but I disagree!  In honor of my 13th trip to Vegas this weekend I thought I'd share why my friend Taylor Swift loves the number 13 too! 

Not only is it the day Taylor was born on in December 1989, but over the years it has become so much more.

 "I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. My first #1 song had a 13-second intro," she said. "Every time I've won an award I've been seated in either the 13th seat, the 13th row, the 13th section or row M, which is the 13th letter."

Happy Weekend! 

Genius Marketing- "Devil Baby Attack" Scares NYC

Let's be real- if you heard a baby crying in an unattended stroller you'd be sure to check it out- right? Well, that's exactly what the people in video below did.  Boy- were they surprised at what they found!  It's worth a watch...

The guys over at Thinkmodo are infamous for their viral marketing and they really knocked it out of the park this time. 

They constructed a remote-controlled stroller with a devil child inside.  Why in the world would they do such a thing?  To promote a movie of course :) 

"Devil Baby Attack" is to promote the horror film, "Devil's Due," which opens this weekend.

Sweet Dreams.

Secrets of The Bachelor

Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes on 
The Bachelor? Yep- me too.  


I always wonder how they pack for such an uncertain amount of time or undisclosed destinations.  How much they get to sleep? What do they do all day without TV or Internet access?  Well, I have uncovered some of those secrets! 




Here are 10 behind the scenes secretes of "The Bachelor":

1. "The Bachelor" is told what order to call out rose recipients at the rose ceremonies.
2. Chris Harrison used to write the date cards, but thought his handwriting was too sloppy. He admits he writes them occasionally.
3. Women start getting ready at 9:00 a.m. on the first day of "The Bachelor." They don't arrive until 9:00 p.m. when it's dark and don't have the rose ceremony until 4:00 a.m..  They get to bed at 8:00 a.m. the next day.
4. The women don't have TV or Internet access while they're in the house.
5. "The Bachelor" contestants bring their own clothes and dresses, however they may share or switch items.
6. Makeup artists offer their services for the first few rose ceremonies, but most of the women apply their own makeup. They also have the option of getting their hair done by "The Bachelor" staff.
7. A couple men on the crew wet down the mansion's driveway with hoses to make the contestants' arrivals look super good.
8. A psychologist is available for the rejected "Bachelor" contestants. The eliminated cast normally takes advantage of that.
9. The final two have a selection of dresses to choose from prior to filming the finale episode.
10. On the exotic location dates, the women get to spend at least two days with "The Bachelor."

Friday Funnies

These videos have been floating around the blog and facebook world recently and I just can't get enough of them!  I think every girl has either said all of these things or at least has a friend that said them. Every time I watch them I  think about all the ridiculous things I say to Michael everyday.

(Lord/Mom forgive me for putting a 4-letter word on my blog)

Enjoy!  Happy Friday!

Tuesday's Thought

Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen.

 Focus on what you do want to happen.  Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story.  If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.

The 12 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Home Alone!

• The 12 Things You Probably Didn't Know

   About Home Alone! 

  VIA 

  
  

  1. The picture Kevin finds of Buzz's girlfriend was actually a picture of a boy

   made up to look like a girl because the director thought it would be too cruel 

  to make fun of a girl like that.

  

• 2. The role of Uncle Frank was written for Kelsey Grammer.

  

• 3. There is a legend that Elvis Presley (who died in 1977) made a 

  cameo in the movie. Many of those who believe that Elvis is still alive 

  maintain that, the heavily bearded man standing in the background 

  of the scene where Mrs. MacCallister is shouting at the desk clerk 

  (just before she meets John Candy) is Elvis.

  

• 4. The issue of Playboy that Kevin finds in Buzz's room is from July 1989 

  with Erika Eleniak as Miss July.

  

• 5. The “evil furnace” in the basement was done by two guys with

   fishing line and flashlights.

  

• 6. Robert De Niro turned down the role of Harry.

  

• 7. Angels with Filthy Souls is a fictional gangster film and was made 

  specifically for the film. There is also a sequel to the film, 

  Angels with Even Filthier Souls, in the sequel.

  

• 8. The Talkboy was originally conceived as a non-working prop for Home Alone, 

  used by Macaulay Culkin's character. In 1993 it was made into a retail version, 

  brought on by a massive letter-writing campaign by young fans of the film.

  

• 9. John Candy filmed his part in only 1 day, albeit an extremely long 

  23-hour day. The story about having once forgotten his son at a

   funeral home was entirely improvised. His part is obviously inspired 

  by the character he played in Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

  

• 10. In the scene where Harry bites Kevin's finger, Joe Pesci 

  actually bit Macaulay Culkin, leaving a scar on his finger.

  

• 11. The concept for the movie originated during the filming of a scene

   in Uncle Buck when Macaulay Culkin interrogated a would-be-babysitter

   through a letterbox.

  

• 12. Daniel Stern agreed to have the tarantula put on his face for 

  exactly one take. He had to mime screaming because the noise 

  would have scared the spider, and the scream was dubbed in later.
