Reviewed: Lindsay Lohan Poses as Marilyn

Not only do I own the Mean Girls DVD, but I also saw it in the theater twice. I initially saw it because I am a fan of Tina Fey and enjoyed her work on Saturday Night Live almost as much as I now enjoy Andy Samburg (Hot Rod shoutout). The second time I saw it I took my high school age sister thinking she would pick up on its feel good themes. By the end of the movie, I was wondering if my sister could teach me to dress like Lindsay. Before she dyed her hair blond and got scary skinny she was a beautiful, talented actress.

I'm not going to make any comparisons between her and Marilyn Monroe because, quite frankly, I don't think there are many to be made. However, remembering her acting skills of past, I thought she might do an adequate job recreating the Monroe photos. I was sadly mistaken.

I should mention, the amount of time I spend watching America's Next Top Model has allowed me to become a premier photo critique.

Her hands looked dead in most photos, limp and solid not indicating any fluid movement. Her eyes in many shots lacked emotion. She needed to dig deeper with the scarves, seduce the camera in the ways she certainly knows how (see above photo.) Had these pictures been for the pure amusement of my boyfriend --who commented on his appreciation of her big boobs-- I would understand the lack of feeling. However, these pictures were for New York magazine by a noted photographer. If only Nigel would have shot them.

35 stars: I do appreciate her freckles weren't airbrushed over.

Reviewed: iPod earbuds

Small-eared people unite! The iPod earbuds don't fit properly in my ears. They precariously dangle, always on the verge of falling out, causing me to spasmodically keep tapping my ear making sure they stay put. I would buy another set of headphones but if I am going to go out of my way to select and buy a pair, I want a pair of the huge noise-canceling DJ kind. However, that would just be ridiculous. Not only would they be 10 times the size of my nano, but I wouldn't be able to shove them in my pocket. Not to mention, it's not like I listen to the latest underground dance beats, more like NPR podcasts and tips from Grammar Girl.

35 stars. I have to pretend like I like them because I am too lazy to buy another set of headphones.
