LAURA BELL BUNDY POST BELOW! Look! It's beautiful and pink!

So, in between this post and the one I just posted- take a look... I gush over Laura Bell Bundy and have some great videos [located conveniently right below this post] AS I WAS SAYING for a blog that had nothing to talk about, I certainly have gone blonde-- legally.

SPOILERS!

So getting to my favorite show on television; Legally Blonde; the search for Elle Woods.
I really do like all the girls that are left in the house, although I think the biggest surprise of the season so far is that the girls are surprisingly convivial towards one another. One of my favorite moments of the season was 2 (?) weeks ago when the girls got the survey about "who is the worst actress, singer, etc" Autumn was the one that stepped up to the plate and said "This is not positive, it's not Elle Woods, it's not what we're going to do." She then changed the questions to "most improved" and "most growth". It was so precious and sweet, it brought tears to my eyes.... *Story Coming up* I know you're thinking "what a wuss.. cries at reality TV?" BUT the background of that is... earlier this year I had the lead in a play and in that play I was in that required me to cry- cry? No. Wallow in guilt and sadness and tears and depression. It was intense. But I had this problem. I was not a crier. I just wasn't. If I got a sad feeling I would say "Aww. Too bad" and move on. But I had to find ways to prevent myself from doing this in the play, or else while I'm supposed to be breaking down in depression, I'd be shrugging and saying "Hmm, sucks." and walk off. Obviously, not acceptable (I'm very method). I had to start crying, if I can't manage crying in real life how can I manage it on stage? So what to do to prevent this? Instead of moving on and not thinking sad thoughts, I would just let them touch me. I would let it dwell in my mind until I felt it. I could feel the sadness. I'm not sure if my brain just liked that and let it stick after the play was done or if I just got good at it. But now, at any act of sweetness or sadness, I transform into a sympathetic weeping willow. SO THAT is why I cried at reality TV *Story Complete* I'm not sure if I captured her sweetness.. here is what MTV said:
"That night, a surprise call sheet arrives at the Legally Blonde loft. Included is a difficult questionnaire, asking the girls a host of loaded questions like: "who is the weakest dancer?" and "who should have already been sent home?" All of the girls are upset, especially Lauren, who thinks the questions are directed at her.

With tension and tears at an all-time high, Autumn steps up and declares that if they're going to play this game, they're going to play it the Elle Woods way. She suggests that they rephrase the questions in a positive light. For example, instead of choosing the worst singer, they'll name someone the "most improved singer." The other girls quickly get into the spirit, giving snaps and compliments to everyone."

All of these photos are the "made over" Elles!Lovely Autumn. Plus her Legally Blonde (ballad) performance was KICK ASS! Watch it! http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1590530&vid=255364
I don't think she looks half bad as a blonde... but is she Elle? I don't know, but I certainly like her. And her acting, and her singing. So... does this Blonde measure up for you

Sweet Bailey! She has been a favorite of mine from the beginning. I really love everything she's been doing lately, I just wish that she'd show a little more growth. I get it. You're good. Why don't you get better? And I believe she is very very Elle.

I really love Lauren, her performance of "Serious" won me over. (watch here http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1589673&vid=251355 ) I know.. I know.. at first I said she was "little girlish" or something like that, but now I'm a big time Lauren fan... I can really see her playing the part. And as for her "little girlish" looks... I've just come to accept that she has great hair and a bubbly face- that's all. Although, I still feel like there's something missing... maybe it is a little bit of maturity? And despite all this love... her voice drives me up the wall. She keeps scooping into her notes or something, like she can't just deliver a note you get this throaty belt then a nasally follow up.

Oh Natalie.. I hate to say it, but I don't think you're a loss. I thought you showed great efforts in your dance performance ( http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1590088&vid=253193 ) and you were a great person in the house, but I just don't see it. Your face shape just doesn't seem right for Elle... and I wouldn't say that you should consider keeping the blonde hair. Maybe I'm just being too cruel, but I didn't like you to begin with and I don't like you now that you're gone either. Rhiannon. I just. I don't know. I see it, then I don't. You seem like maybe Elle's best friend. There-- but not there. Like just in this picture I get a sense of "What's going on?" And there's still that gawkiness I haven't quite gotten over. I hate to say it but I think you'll be next on the chopping block, although I hate to let you leave when I'm still this unsure about you.

That's my Legally Blonde input for now! SNAPS AND LOVE!
