Can it be Magic?

Hunky Vampires, Evil Emperors and Tranny Geishas……

For one night, the hippest street in town had been transformed into a scene from Eastwick (the hit TV series). There was indeed something magical in the air, the princess felt, as she wonders along the street at Halloween night.



A sense of fake surreal beauty yet emotions so real (perhaps emerging through the safety of our guise) just overwhelms the petite princess.

Maybe, inside every one of us, there is a desire to play make-believe and act out our deepest fantasy.

Perhaps, sometimes, in each of us, there is a part that want to believe that there is something special inside us (be it good or bad); just waiting to be unleashed when the time is right.



Standing there, in full awe, the princess channels my inner magical power to unleash a frantic group of naked hunks clamouring all over me.

Not so Glee

Sometimes, the ever effervescent princess does feel that i actually came from one of the character from Glee; ever ready to burst into a song & believing that the world is full of bubble gum sweetness.


However, there is a certain sense of unbearable lightness when the princess becomes too glee for her own good. It is a strange feeling, at work, when you are feeling good about nothing while people around you are brooding over everything.

The princess wonders to herself: “Am I missing something here?”

There are times when the princess wishes she was more of an Angelina Jolie than Jennifer Aniston. Or Britney Spears than Scarlett Johansson; unless if Scarlett is with her husband Ryan Reynolds; or taking up a role where she plays a sultry vixen flirting with a married man.

But, that is beside the point.

The truth of the matter – people often perceive brooding people having substance (as if there are contemplating hard into life’s worries) while happy people being shallow and taking the world too lightly.

In a world full of reality TV, drama has become an over-rated asset and being happy all the time is the fastest way to become a C-lister in a corporate jungle.

Maybe, like the series Glee, life is always about that delicate balance of being who you are and who you think you might want to be.

And perhaps like Glee, Being a Loser or a Winner could just be a matter of your own perception.

Deadline for love - The Ex List

The princess watched "the Ex list" yesterday and found myself nodding my head as if connecting with the show's theme and plot. Totally.

And the similarity? Here goes:
1) Setting deadline for love (Checked)
2) Sussing out for potential boyfriends from past and future 24/7 (Been there)
3) Fortune telling in search for love (Done that)
4) Take any hint of love as a sign from powers above (Who else can single gal trust these days?)


Worse still... there are more:
5) Going out with Gorgeous hunks only to realise that sometimes even the best packages are flawed within.
6) Friends who thinks that you are 1) Bimbotic 2) Delusional &/or 3) Sad when you tell them your grand scheme of getting attached by the end of the year.

Sad as it may sound, but the princess, is as sure as the sun will rise, that my life, in alignment with the land of TV sitcoms, despite the numerous twists and turns, will eventually have a happy ending at the end of the day.

Welcome to the upper east side

The endless flow of champagne, ice-cream and eye candies.

Life is definitely a paradise if you happened to be on the right side of town.

This weekend, the princess finally got a glimpse of the life in the fast lane. So, all those fabulous party, frivolous chat in Gossip Girl wasnt all TV but, ironically, reality.

Right there. In a Box. The princess immerses herself in the lifestyle of Serena and Queen B; rubbing shoulders with the whos-whos in town.


Absolutely fabulous.

Being along side with the Serenas and Blairs of the upper east-side have definitely made the princess see much more clearer now.


If life is ever so transient and impermanent, one should really live in style and glamour.

With that thought in mind, the princess left the gala event all purposeful and determined.


Love,
Plastic P

SunShine Paradise

The princess slathers on her suntan lotion on a hot summer day (away from work) with the sunglass perched firmly on my head.

The sun was perfect. The water from the pool reflects the sun's rays onto the princess' glowing face.

Lady "V", who was beside the princess, took extra precautions to hide away from the sun beneath the canopy of the blue and white sun brolly.

"These are cancer rays." Lady "V" cautions the princess.

The good-looking men come and go as they finished their baking in the sun while the princess & Lady "V" lay nonchalantly on our decks discussing about retaining our youth, re-igniting our passion and most importantly, our hopes for our future boyfriends.

Just exactly like our counterparts in the real housewives of New York City; life should be like this everyday.

Sexy Men of Step It Up and Dance

Blue and sad on a working morning after a long holidays, the princess refused to believe that the holidays are finally over.

Being a creature of habit, she turns to the very "thing" that will perk her up - sexy hunky beautiful dancing men.

Sometimes, the princess wished she could be as talented and as passionate as them. Other times, i just wished they could just be my boyfriend; lifting me up (physically and figuratively) when i am down.

Welcoming everyone to the men (Delicious) of Step it up and dance

Michael


Nick


Cody



Just ogling at them makes the princess' day..... Not to mention, there are nude pics of Michael floating around....... OMG!!!! Apparently, he was moonlighting while dancing......

The princess is already overwhelmed by too much information.

I want to step it up and dance now too....

Step it Up, Step it Up!!! and dance.

The princess is so loving the new dance reality show - Step it up and dance (Sony Entertainment TV - Mio TV).

And who can forget Elizabeth Berkley of ShowGirl Fame. She, with her signature move, hosts this reality dance show.

Unlike its other counterpart, So you think you can dance?, "Step It Up and Dance" is just so bitchy and full of personality and drama mama.

Truly doing what the show preaches, dancing is not only about techniques but also passion and personality.

The princess always have a great time watching Janelle, the youngest contestant, not for her dancing but her often funny remarks.


In an episode where the contestants are supposed to perform an act with Stomp (dance act of dustbin and broom fame), Janelle who had problems mastering her broom act, casually dismissed it and remarked: "I use a vacuum cleaner at home"

The princess just admires the feisty attitude of these youngsters nowadays..... "When life throws you a curve ball, BITCH it!!!"

And so will the princess from now on.

Cheers,
Princess P.

Welcome to the Dollhouse

Finally, a thriller series that interest the princess, US TV Series, Dollhouse.

Maybe, its because of its girly title or perhaps that, the main character, Echo, is aptly referred to as a doll. Quite a smart pun, the princess thinks - someone pretty, whose existence is for a specific purpose, helpless and controlled.


And because her memory gets erased every time she completes her assignment, each episode is like a whole new pilot run. The moment she is uploaded with new "imprints", she becomes a totally different person - Outdoor girl, Sexy negotiator, motorbike chick... etc...


Echo - getting ready for her "treatment"

But what really attracts the princess to this series is its underlying theme . Beneath the glamour, fight scenes and fabulous plots lies the basic question of the trade-off of free-will and life's unique imperfections for our desire of a perfect life (think: matrix).

If you have a chance, would you want to sell your soul to the devil for a glamorous, high living life or choose live out the drudgery of everyday mundane life that is seemingly pointless.

That is the question the princess asks herself every Monday morning as she readies herself to work.

New adventures of an Old Princess

Julia, Julia, Julia.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus of the Seinfield fame (playing Elaine). The character everyone hates to love. She is everyone's (including the princess) anti-princess (Crude, bitchy yet so lovably real at the same time)

The princess had never realised she misses Julia so much until i stumbled upon her new (not so new) hit TV series: New Adventures of Old Christine. In just 3 episodes, the princess is truly back in television sitcom heaven.



Now, playing a divorced mother of one (yes, keeping up with times), She is still basically Elaine; just as funny, witty and scarastic, in her own goofy kinda way. The princess had not heard herself laughed so loudly since a long time.

And that grin of Julia's.... As if it was just yesterday. As if the old Elaine had never left.

Really a pleasant surprise and such an inspiration.

The princess finds herself wondering: "In an everchanging world of short attention span, new surprises and flashing faces, how do we constantly remind ourselves that, perhaps, the new excitement that we so looking for, can come from the people whom had always been by our side?"

Closer than you think

Call the princess conservative and conventional, but i must admit it seems alittle weird seeing a woman leading a team of homicide detectives in solving crimes in Closer, US Crimes Series.

Where is the explosion? hunky men? sizzling chemistry between the leading men and the foxy lady he saved?

What Kyra Sedgwick, leading lady in this crime series, brings to the series is a touch of sensitivity, vunerability and some closer to home issues (which is made believable because of her). Not to mention some brillant twists to the story plot.


A case of Judge Judy-meets-CSI??

A leading lady in a Crime department who is full of steel determination, resolve and yet with a touch of feminine instincts; using her mind and not resorting to her feminine wiles to get what she wants.

Is it really alittle too far-fetched? Or maybe it might just be closer to home than what the princess think.

Perhaps, its time the princess realises what being a real-life strong woman is about.

Someone's gonna hurt - Cougar Again :)

As the princess sips coffee with Mdm Nicole at the latest shopping destination in town, i told Nicole with great admiration and respect:"I finally understand the fears that you are going thru dating younger men"

After chasing the full season 1 of Cougar, especially the last episode, the princess finally realises, reality show or not, dating younger men is a whole lot of responsibility & fear.

Like the Cougar says: "someone's gonna hurt."

How do you date a younger man, in the midst of so many conventional objections? and tell yourself that you are not taking them away from the prime of their life? (AKA Travis).

Like what Travis' mum said to Cougar, Stacey - You have made your life but Travis is just beginning to make his.

And when you let them go, can you truly convinced yourself that you have not misled them (AKA Colt - Stacey (cougar) telling him that she is falling in love with him in one episode only to tell him that she has fallen for another man at the heartwrenching finale).


But, most importantly, like what all Cougars fear, at such late age of their life, how much assurance is there that a younger man can go the distance when it comes to love and stability.

No matter, the princess was totally glad that Stacey had chosen Jimmy - the best looking guy with great bod and charisma and totally a family-oriented boy.

Deep in my heart, the princess wishes Mdm Nicole and her (and maybe Lady V) finds our "Jimmy"

Love,
Princess

Old Habits Die Hard - The Cougar Princess

Fresh out from a long blogging hiatus, the princess wonders if she can ever write again. Would it be another one of those girly, lovely stuff or could it be a darker and more updated piece this time round in an attempt to connect with the darker, intense male readers out there somewhere.

Surfing the TV for inspiration, the princess found herself bypassing the highly recommended MIO US TV CRIME pack boasting of hit series such as The Mentalist and Criminal Minds (I mean, good stuff but not for now, dearie) and back into familiar territory - The Cougar.

Instantly, the princess was captivated. 20 gorgeous young hunks trying to win the affection of an older, beautiful, hot babe. This is really a case of ART imitating the princess' life. The princess cringed uncontrollably at their best efforts to impress the cougar which came across somewhat awkward and amateurish.

One of the princess' top fav easily -colt :)

The princess is loving the show already.

AND the Cougar really gives the phrase "to turn the other cheek" a new twist. At the end of each episode, the boys will be asked to kiss her. If she gives him her lips, it means "You're In!" in reality TV terms. If she turns her cheek, then "You're out!!"

Totally Classy and Cruel.

The princess cant wait to use it this weekend in the clubs where numerous young men will be enclamouring for the beautiful princess (as usual). (NB. Ms Cherie and Ms Nicole (the official Cougars), this trick is mine!)

Goes to show, while old habits die hard, there is always something new to learn in even the most tried and tested formula.


Lurve,
The princess P.
