Giveaway | While Meli’s Away, Elissa Will Play

For the first day of my Melificent.com takeover, I’d like to first say hello to all of Meli’s friendlies and hope that you all dont hiss and scowl as you read my posts. So to really loosen things up, I’m doing a giveaway. (Who says money can’t buy readers?)

A giveaway for what you ask? A giveaway for a fantastic movie. As some, if not all of you may not know, I’m a freakazoid for all things animated, and tomorrow DreamWorks: How To Train Your Dragon will be released on DVD and Blu-ray.

Watch The How To Train Your Dragon Trailer

So here it goes… Please comment on this blog post and tell me what your favorite animated movie is and we will choose a winner by random on Monday morning. The winner will receive the wonderful movie in either the DVD or Blu-ray version (whichever one they decide).

Good luck everyone, and make sure to check out the Lovable Friday post tomorrow.

ROCK-ation Part Deux

Thanks for the reminder, Ticketmaster!

Tomorrow morning I’ll be hitting the road with a few girlfriends on my next ROCK-ation – this time, we will be Tampa-bound to see Bush headline their own show at The Ritz Ybor. Although I was present for Bush’s first show back together a couple of weeks ago (I’m getting so spoiled), I am even more excited to see them headline in an intimate setting rather than in a festival-style setting. I am super curious as to what their set list may entail (although G leaked that Alien was played in rehearsals yesterday – ::sigh::), but know they are going to put on a great show (as always).

I’ll be in Tampa for the remainder of the week so I will be leaving the blog in the hands of another guest blogger. This time around, the baton is being passed to one of my best friends, Elissa! So make sure she feels comfortable and welcome around these parts, ya’ hear?

Also, feel free to follow my travels via Twitter!
I’ll make sure to update the blog on Monday with a full review complete with photos and videos!

…Till then!

A Melificent Mixtape: Fall 2010

It had been some time since I had compiled together a mixtape and what better time than for my favorite time of the year, Fall! This collection of songs is comprised of both old and new songs that have been on heavy rotation on my iTunes recently. They either make me want to put on my dancing shoes (or rock out Risky Business style) or mean something to me lyrically.

I already have a copy in my car, which is really helping my long days on the road. I hope it can do the same for you because, in the wise words of Empire Record’s Eddie, this music is the glue of the world.

Happy Hump Day: Matt Bomer

Although I have yet to watch one episode of White Collar, I know that Matt Bomer, who plays con-man turned FBI consultant, Neal Caffrey, is quite the looker. The Texas native had one hell of a social circle growing up. He went to high school with fellow hottie, Lee Pace, and then college at Carnegie Mellon with bestie, Zachary Quinto. He began his acting career on soaps before landing bigger roles on Chuck and finally, White Collar. He’s also big into sports, but has most recently been backhanding rumors rather than tennis balls that mainly revolve around his sexual orientation. Honestly, does it even matter with a face like that? You tell me after feasting your eyes on the picspam below. 😉

Bush is Back!

Unless you just stumbled on this blog by chance or live on the planet Mars, you know that I traveled to Los Angeles to see Bush’s first show together in 8 years at the Epicenter Festival. I won a pair of tickets on Twitter and the rest is history. What you may not know, however, is that I was able to watch the entire set from on the stage!

Left to right: Melificent, Christine & Stephanie

The story is one you hear of in fairy tales, most definitely not in real, day-to-day life and I still can’t believe how all the pieces fell perfectly into place. But they did. And it all began with one of my many silly fangirl dreams. I was at Bush’s first show with my Twitter buddy, Christine, and Gavin decided to have us watch it from the stage! There were a lot of other ridiculous dream-like details such as having to run backstage and change into “stage outfits,” but I left those out when I decided to post about the dream on Twitter and address it to Gavin himself. I went about my business as usual, when I randomly checked Twitter during a work meeting. I was almost knocked off my chair when I saw that Gavin had replied to my tweet with a simple, “duly noted.” Shortly after, he announced a contest and the grand prize was watching their set at Epicenter from…wait for it…ONSTAGE.
