Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Anna Torv

May 2nd, 2012 | Posted in Geekery, Hump Day, TV by Meli

The hubs and I have been Fringe addicts since day one. But I do clearly remember our friends complaining at first that they didn’t dig the main character, Olivia Dunham. They would say that her acting was weak and they didn’t like her cadence. I also clearly remember correcting all of them as quickly as possible: she’s Australian! I guess I instantly had a girl crush on Ms. Torv. I attribute it to her strong, bad ass persona. This only escalated when I had a run in with her at Comic Con. Please ask me where. Only the worst place for a celebrity run in: the women’s bathroom. These things only happen to me.

Happy Hump Day: William Levy

April 18th, 2012 | Posted in Hump Day, Local, TV by Meli

William Levy is so hot right now. He’s kind of like Hansel. Only I don’t know if this phenomenon is sweeping the country. Is it? I know he is super popular down in South Florida because of his Cuban-American roots, which instantly makes him a fan favorite. He was also featured on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Miami, where he was posing for Alexia’s magazine, Venue. But now I hear he is on a little show called Dancing with the Stars, am I right? Well, apparently he has cha-cha’ed his way into everyone’s heart because he was a reader suggestion for this week’s hump day. And I always aim to please. ;)

ps; this dude’s got some SERIOUSLY questionable photos up on the Tumblrs. Doesn’t take long to scroll through and find one. You’ll know exactly which I am referring to. Yikes.

Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Zooey Deschanel

April 4th, 2012 | Posted in Hump Day, TV by Meli

So a very long time ago, all you lovely people suggested that I feature some of my favorite girls. I always had this idea on the back burner, but just never got around to it – mainly not knowing how to incorporate it into posts. Now I know. Every month, I’ll play a little role reversal on Hump Days, giving the girls a chance to shine as well.

And let’s face it. All us ladies have a few good girl crushes, right?
I had to start it with the absolutely lovely, Zooey Deschanel. She was the inspiration for my most recent haircut, and one of my most favorite style icons. I think she’s all sorts of wonderful (we even share a gluten intolerance – aw). And how amazing is her show, New Girl? It’s the highlight of my week, seriously. Plus, check out her adorable blog, Hello Giggles. Heart: bursting. Even more when she comes paired with the gorgeous Joseph Gordon Levitt. God, I love them so.
