Ladies, I'll Never Judge You By The Company You Keep

Monday Maidens


I had never heard of Anna Kendrick before I saw Up In The Air, (why would I have? I don't did on sparkling vampires), but that performance certainly caused me to take notice. Not only because she's a cutie, although that was the initial reason, but she's actually a damn good actress too. Her delivery was nearly perfect, and I felt she carried the portion of the film she was in. Up In The Air only worked because all of the actors brought that layer of authenticity to their performances, and Anna's was one of the most important in the whole movie. Sure, she was in Twilight and that means she must be hated upon, but she's so damn innocent and adorable. I suggest we get her a pass just this once.

The other maiden today is none other than Isla Fisher, AKA Mrs. Borat. Quite the hilarious woman in her own right, a lot of people give her bonus points for being married to Sasha Baron Cohen. In some ways I suppose that's true, but I'm almost tempted to hold that against her. Sure, it's a sign that she has a good sense of humor, but that's already obvious from her comedic performances. Yes, he might be the world's most famous troll, but she is one awesome babe. If this is what trolls are taking home, I need to start hanging out under more bridges. PS: Watch Hot Rod. She's really not in it that much, but the movie is an underrated masterpiece.

The Lovely Ladies of Gervais Comedy

Monday Maidens

Only recently did I start watching The Office (US), and I'm disappointed in myself for denying myself laughs for this long. Not only is it funny, but it's incredibly well made and everyone involved really hits it out of the park. The other selling point is miss Jenna Fischer, who makes me feel like I'm climbing the rope in gym class...


The Office reminds me of everything I really loved about Extras, including Ashley Jensen, who plays the most delightfully charming, innocent, moron you've ever encountered. It takes an amazing balance for that character to be anything but enraging, but it was totally nailed in terms of acting and writing. But she's pretty cute, which makes the recurring joke about her less-than-appealing looks all the more hilarious.


It takes special comedic talent to nail characters created by Gervais, and these women are no exception. They might not be able to compete with my dream gal Lucille Ball, but they're much more appealing than some empty-headed plastic skank. Unless of course she has a dream house and hot-pink limousine. Under those conditions, bimbos are totally allowed.

The Octagon Ladies Know All The Angles

To those of you unfamiliar with the beautiful game, mixed martial arts matches of the UFC variety take place in an eight-sided squared-circle known as "The Octagon". Within, grown men beat each other to bloody pulps, or play complicated versions of grab-ass if the fight goes to the ground.

In an effort to confirm that the sport is manly at not at all homoerotic, the UFC employs beautiful women to hold up signs reminding the audience what round it is. These ladies move on to bigger and better things pretty quickly, so without further ado I give you the current crop of Octagon Gals:

NOTE: I would give you more information about them, but they're basically just shapely sign-posts.

What Do You Know? I Guess I Have A Thing For Redheads

On this edition of Monday Maidens, I decided to kick things up a notch and stay true to the 's' at the end of the title (this means I will discuss two ladies, not just one). The other reason I decided to talk about these two specifically is because I only found out about the one by assuming she was the other.

The first maiden today is none other than Ginnifer Goodwin. Known for her roles on TV's Big Love and the movie She's Just Not That Into You, she manages to come off as a genuine sweetheart that's incredibly cute too.


I recently watched a little movie called Idiocracy and I noticed what I thought was Ginnifer Goodwin with an uncharacteristic amount of cleavage. It turned out that this was none other than Sara Rue, who used to be the star of Less Than Perfect and also happened to be on Will and Grace and The Big Bang Theory for a couple episodes. Since then it appears that she has lost a little bit of weight, but still maintains quite the curvy figure, which I'm certainly not complaining about. Any actress with an ample bosom is good in my books, mostly because I have stock in bra companies.... mostly.

Maiden Mondays: Amanda Bynes

Well, I realized that it is time for yet another format change. Firstly, having a Monday Rant and a Wednesday Pop Culture diatribe doesn't make much sense, since most of my Monday Rants are likely to be pop culture related anyway. So from here on out, Wednesdays will now be Pop Culture Rants, and Mondays will be...

That's the dilemma isn't it. I decided to solve the problem how I solve most of my problems, by Googling the phrase "words that start with m" (I like alliteration). This brought me to the idea of Macho Monday (although that would basically just parallel Things of Awesome Day).

In the end I settled on Maiden Monday, where I will pick a celebrity crush of sorts and write a little profile on her. She can be a character or actress, and if you don't agree that's great since that's less competition for me. So without further ado, the first entry for Maiden Monday: Amanda Bynes.



Amanda Bynes is one of those rare women that skillfully combines hilariousness with cuteness, and still ended up a total babe. I've been a fan since the early days of The Amanda Show and What I Like About You, and with the exception of Lovewrecked thought her movies were lul-inducing.

Rumors abound about her lately from her involvement with rapper Drake, to her questionably lengthly absence from television and movie screens. She got a nice push after being a back-to-back cover girl on Cosmo and then Maxim, and it's only a matter of time before she's back in she spotlight.

That or she's totally fallen into obscurity, which would rule since it would make it easier for me to pick her up broken and desperate.

PS: Tuesdays will also now be Trailer Tuesdays, where new movie Trailers will be discussed. I told you, I like alliteration.
