50 Shades...

Wow... it's been quite a while since I've last blogged...however, I haven't stopped reading and have quite a lot to share with you all!


Before I post about the past year, I want to update you all on the book, or shall I say books, I am currently reading. Can you guess what it is?? Everyone is talking about it now! Yes! You guessed it! 50 Shades of Grey.






I'm sure most of you have heard about this Erotic fictional story about, well, ....how should I put this....a very wealthy and handsome, yet depressed and emotionally damaged man, who is CONSTANTLY horny and wants to dominate/take full control of a beautiful virgin by making her his submissive applying sexual tastes involving bondage, domination and sadism. 
Yes, you read that right! ...To quote my father "A desperate sexual idiot. I don't get the point of this ft-up story." haha! But, nevertheless, this ft-up story is such a hit and EVERYONE is reading it. I hear about it EVERYWHERE! The radio, TV, through friends, the net, ... you name it! I must say, I personally don't think it's such an incredible read.. however, I am quite entertained and am looking forward to seeing how it will end. 


QUESTION: Who else here thinks that the amount of sex Christian and Ana are having is just a tad unrealistic? I mean they're having sex on every single page! It's a little too much... thoughts?


I am however looking forward to the movie and I can't wait to see who they will pick to play the main characters. Here are my personal choices for Christian Grey (I know they're a little older than what Christian is.. but one can wish, right?)... what are yours?:


Bradley Cooper
Gabriel Macht
Christian Bale





And here are my choices for Ana Steele...thoughts?:
Mila Kunis
Nina Dobrev
Emmy Rosum
