Scream Queens


A new TV show has just aired called Scream Queens. Now I know that you are thinking this sounds like a stupid TV series. Well, I am here to tell you that it is a great TV show. To start off I thought that it sounded dumb and I honestly didn't care to see any of the episodes. I went over to my friend Anna's one day and she asked me if we could watch the first episode of Scream Queens that she had recorded. I said that it was fine. After about the first ten minutes of the show I was hooked. To describe the show I would have to say it almost makes fun of Pretty Little Liars in a way. The show starts off in 1925, with a girl with bloody hands at a frat party. She gets her sorority sisters to follow her to where another sorority sister just had a baby in a bathtub. The leaders don't care and tell the girl that they want to dance to one more song and will be back in a minute. When they get back, the girl in the bathtub is dead and the other girl is holding the baby. Fast forward twenty years to 2015. A girl, whose mom died when she was two, is joining the sorority group when all of the sudden there is a serial killer killing everyone. The serial killer is called the Red Devil. I usually hate scary shows and I can only watch this one during the day, but it is really good.
The actors in the show are also amazing. Emma Roberts plays the mean head sorority girl, Chanel. Emma Roberts plays Nancy Drew in another movie too. Skyler Samuels plays Grace the new girl. She is also in the TV show called The Nine Lives of Chloe King. Arianda Grande is playing Chanel number two, because remembering their names is too much work for Chanel. Lea Michele plays a weird girl who obsesses over the dead named Hester. Lea is also Rachel in Glee. Glen Powell plays Chad the dumb jock. His best friend Boone is played by famous singer and song writer Nick Jonas. Diego Boneta is Pete, the stalker crazy boyfriend who likes Grace. Pete wants to be an undercover reporter when he grows up and as his first break though story he want to uncover what is going on in the girl's sorority house and about the killer. Another famous actor is Jamie Lee Curtis. She plays Dean Munsch who hates the sorority house and will do anything to take it down.
One of my favorite parts in the whole show is when Chanel number two dies. You have to watch it.
So where I left off at the end of the first episode I thought that the baby whose mom died is the Red Devil. I think that the mom who died when Grace was two, had helped the baby and that is why the Red Devil has a fascination over Grace. I also think that the Red Devil wants to give something back to Grace in return for what her mother gave to him/her. Comment on what you think is happening with the Red Devil or what you think is going to happen with the Red Devil and Grace. I did not get to see the last thirty minutes of the first episode either, so if anyone could write me a summary with a lot of detail that would be great. I left off at the part when Chanel is telling Grace about the mother who died in the bathtub and how Dean Munsch covered it up. Also if anyone wants to give a stab at why the Dean would cover something like that up too, because in the beginning of the show she wants to take down the sorority house, go ahead. What is so different from then and now. Let me know what you think of the show. Thanks, Emily.

Starbuck's New Fall Flavors


Starbucks has officially come out with their new fall flavors of the year. My all-time favorite is their Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino. The real question is who doesn't like pumpkin spice in October?! This past week my sister Anna and I went to Starbucks and each got the new flavor Toasted Graham. We both ordered the non-fat with whip, but they forgot the whip-cream. Thought that the drink tasted amazing. It was like a honey graham cracker, but not as dry. Other Halloween flavors this year are the Cinnamon Roll, which sounds really good. I have yet to hear one person who has tried it though. There is also Cotton Candy and let me tell you, this was the worst Starbucks drink I had ever gotten. One of my sister’s friends told me that it was her favorite kind so I tried it. BIG mistake. It is the vanilla bean with raspberry flavoring in it. The color of the drink was a bright pink. Let’s just say I haven't ever gotten that kind again. They also have Red Velvet Cake and Cupcake cream. I haven't tried these flavors yet, but I hope to soon. When I get a drink form Starbuck, I usually get it with coffee (unless it is their Mango Black Tea Lemonade which is to die for), but they also have the choice of no coffee (cream), which is what my brother gets.
Let me know what you think of these new and exciting fall flavors and if you want to tell me about your favorite comment below. Thanks, Emily.

The Weekend

The band The Weekend is an interesting group. I didn't even know about the group until my little sister Ella, told my mom and I that she was watching a music video and the main soloist looked like he had an octopus on his head that had a crab underneath it. I thought that it was really interesting for a ten year old to be describing a guys hair-do that way. This was so tempting that I had to look it up for myself and interestingly enough she was right.
Another interesting thing about the group is their choice in music. I was listening to one of their songs on Z102.9 when they were rating songs. The song The Hill and I didn't think it was that good. Many people who called in to rate it didn't rate the song that well. I honestly thought that the song was just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. You couldn't make out most of their words and what you could make out didn't really fit together.
Their song I Can't Feel My Face is one of the worst songs that I have ever heard. It makes no sense to me and I have to hear one person who can explain to me what the song is trying to get across. The line "I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it" is not logical. I feel like the song writer was not in his right mind when they were righting the song.
I haven't heard any of their other songs yet, but I have yet to be impressed with one of their songs. Let me know what you thought of their songs and if you can explain the song I can't Feel My Face to me, please do. Thanks, Emily.

The Immortal Instruments


I am in the middle of one of the best book series I have ever read. I will probably say this a lot in the posts coming up, but I have to say that this is the best series I have read so far. The first book is called The City of Bones and is about a girl named Clary who finds out that her world that she lived in was a huge lie. She has to go through many obstacles dealing with her family, friends, romance, and everything that she believes in. Clary goes into a world of demons, vampires, werewolves, and more. There are six books in the entire series. There is also a movie that goes along with the first book. The movie is action packed and thrilling throughout the whole movie. Although, I would recommend to read the books first and then watch the movie, but that is up to you. If you decide to read the books or watch the movie let me know how you felt about it. Thanks, Emily.

The New Vogue Fall Collection

Vogues new fall collection consists of 12 new trends. The first one is all about bringing your home with you, by taking couch or rug fabric designs and using them to make cloths like coats. The second trend is long coats. You can dress these fashionable coats up with tall heels. The third trend is adding fur to your coats or dresses. A few types of fur would be fox, mink, and lamb. The fourth is a high neck fluffy collar or a black lace collar. This is bringing back a 19th century type of look. The fifth trend is a 'slip' dress. You can wear this dress over jeans and is made to look wintery when layered. The 80's is coming back with the sixth trend. Bright colors and mutton sleeves are making their way down the runway. The seventh trend is a simple white blouse. Designers are dressing them up with bow-ties and ruffles, while also layering them under jackets. The 70's are also making a come back with patchwork. Using bright colors to design the cloths for the eighth trend. The ninth trend is the pantsuit. Women are working this design back into the 21st century. Dragons, lace, and gold are all apart of the next design. Chinese designs where making their way down the runway for the tenth trend. Velvet is coming back. With loose wide-length pants, skirts, coats and jumpsuits, trend number eleven has never felt better. For trend number twelve you are head to toe shiny. Shiny pants to shiny shirts.
               Out of all of these trends I like the twelfth trend the best because you can pair anything up with a shiny shirt and who doesn't want to be shiny. Let me know what you think about the new fall trends and why you made that decision. Thanks, Emily.

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt


Every now and then I will recommend a show or movie that is on Netflix and in this post it will be a TV show called The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. This is one of the most hilarious shows I have ever watched. It is about four girls who have been kidnapped by a reverend. He put them underground and formed a cult. Years later they are rescued and set free. One of the girls, Kimmy Schmidt, goes to New York to start over. The rest of the season is about how she survives in New York without money and a place to stay. Kimmy is very optimistic and funny. Another reason why I like this show is because of the theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIdFa1qLgNQ The theme song is very catchy and hard to stop listening to. There is only one season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I would recommend you watch this is you want a short season to pass the time with. Thanks, Emily.

Zoey 101

Everyone remembers watching an episode of Zoey 101 at some point or another and recently a video was posted. https://twitter.com/search?q=Zoey%20101&src=tyah&lang=en On twitter a ten year reunion was posted of Zoey 101. In the video Chase finally finds out what Zoey thought of him on the video she made ten years ago. To clear it up for the readers who have no idea what I am talking about I will explain. When Chase and Zoey where in school together Zoey am a video about Chase and Chase found out. He did some stupid things and Zoey punished him by letting him watch the video in 20 years. In the video you find out how she lessens his punishment and what happens when he watches the video. I would also recommend to watch this TV series. It is amazing for people of all ages. Comment on what you think about it and what you think will happen next. Thanks, Emily.

TV shows that are coming this fall


Everyone has their TV shows that they love to watch every year and this fall there are great new shows out there. One of my favorite TV shows is Vampire Diaries. I can't wait to see what is going to happen this season. There are more like Bones, Scandal, Criminal Minds, and more. Another great TV show is that is premiering on September 22 is Dancing with the Stars. This season they have Tamar Braxton, Gary Busey, Nick Carter, Paula Deen, Victor Espinoza, Any Grammer, Hayes Greir, Bindi Irwin, Alexa Penavega, Chaka Khan, Carlos Penavega, Alek Skarlatos, and Kim Zolciak Biermann as the guest stars. Another show that I can’t wait to watch is Greys Anatomy. I have just recently started to watch Greys Anatomy from the beginning a few weeks ago on Netflix and I haven’t been able to stop watching it. I am not even close to done and on September 24th the season premiere will be on at 8:00 p.m. on ABC. I heard that the producers had brought new people in the end of the last season (season 11) and can’t to see what happens next. So for all the Greys Anatomy watchers out there be prepared for another great season. Another show that is showing is The Middle. My whole family loves this show. Everyone in my family can relate to someone in the show. My mom and dad are exactly like Frankie and Mike. My mom tells me that I remind her of a mix between Brick and Sue. My littlest sister is like Sue, my other sister is a mix between Axl and Sue, and my brother is like Axl. My favorite character is Axl because he has a dry sense of humor. I think at any family could relate to this family because the Heck family is always running around trying to get from place to place, trying to get things done, family outtings, trying to get the house cleanfor when family comes over, etc. It makes my family laugh when we watch it cause we are so alike them. The last TV show that I will mention is The Walking Dead. I am a little iffy on this show because I hate scary movies, but The Walking Dead is an addicting show. I have marathons with my mom before every season to remember what just happened. I can only watch them during the day also because I get so scared. I hope everyone who reads this likes my first blog. Thanks, Emily.
