Is This Tight?: List #1, Girly Shit

Here's the thing, I love football, beer, and a rare steak, but I cannot deny the love I have for a bunch of girly shit that makes my world go round. In no particular order.

1. Jane Austen Film Adaptations
















They could make a new one every five minutes and I'd watch every single one of them. It's about a bunch of trivial junk while also alluding to the important things in life. Such as dandy fellows in ascots. "My dear Elizabeth, a woman is the foundation of brevity and prosperity, blahblahblahyack..."LOVE IT. I dream of my own Mr. Darcy but would also make fun of any dude that resembled him in any way.

Mark Twain has two amazing quotes about Jane Austen:

"Jane Austen? Why I go so far as to say that any library is a good library that does not contain a volume by Jane Austen. Even if it contains no other book."

"I haven't any right to criticise books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Everytime I read 'Pride and Prejudice' I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone."

What a badass. Twain had major 'tude. LOL @ the shin-bone comment. If you ask me, sounds like Twainy had a schoolyard crush on Jane. Sittin' in a tree.

2. Custom Wedding Ring Sites

What girl hasn't thought about her dream ring, even if she has no immediate desire for marriage? Design it with the biggest diamond, best clarity, DREAM BIG.

3. Cosmopolitan Magazine















Because we need articles about how to please our men by only using an ice cube and two Tic Tacs. Also, how to get those "dream abs" by only doing two sit ups every 22 minutes.

4. Comopolitan












These are beyond girly, beyond DELICIOUS.

5. Sex & The City














The show that inspired the above drink also inspires me to walk a little taller. Five years ago, I would've scoffed at girls who love this show. Fast forward to today and I own every season on DVD, courtesy of my dad. Once I got past the girly, tampon-talk that I thought was the meat of the show, I realized it's actually good. More than good.

6. Nancy Drew

















I love this bitch. She does it all and manages to make it home in time for dinner with her (presumably) hot bf, Ned Nickerson. Yes, I was bummed to find out that there's no such author as Carolyn Keene, meaning that most Nancy Drew novels were written by dudes. But that doesn't diminish my love for this slut.

7. Makeover Shows














I don't know why, but there's something about watching a haggard, over-worked woman with a bad bleach job, cry her way through a makeover only to turn out looking like a million bucks. I'll watch any of these shows, at any time. My one complaint is with Ten Years Younger. That "stylist" puts every woman in a pair of white capris and a jeweled tank top. Gag.

8. Baby Names





















I bet you have, at one point, been to babynames.com or something equivalent. Don't lie.


9. Bitching About Dudes Who Never Call

















We've all done it, because newsflash for anyone living under a rock: Dudes rarely call when they say they will. And you know what? I love to bitch about this. In fact, I kind of hope that he doesn't call when he says he will, just so I can bitch about it later. A lot. Over box wine and a bag of chips.

Okay I know you guys can add your own to this. Post your own themed list, GET CRAZY, I'M HERE ALL NIGHT. Is this thing on?
