Sunshine Daydream Winslow
Sunshine Daydream Winslow.
She's one of my heroes/idols/those people who you look up to.
She's one of the main characters from my favourite book series of all time, California Diaries. I love reading them.
I read them a lot still.
Sunny's 13. A product of two ex-hippies and in CD, her mom has lung cancer. Sunny has these overwhelming feelings of anger, hurt and she starts to rebel against her life. She gets her belly-button pierced in the first book, to the shock horror of her friends. I find this funny because when I was 13 and I got my belly-button pierced, everyone else wanted it done and none was "shocked" when you got it done. She also later that day, gets so wasted that she vomits and then passes out and that's just too much for straight-laced Jill. Jill stops being their friend, thank god, because she really annoyed me. And they becomes friends with Amalia, the new girl at school and older, quirky boy, Ducky (Aka Christopher). In later books, Sunny runs away for a boy, returns home but ends up at her best friend's house, almost burns down that said house after helping Carol when she needs it the most and writes of the most emotion ridden books I've ever read. Seriously, CD#11 is just captures everything I think that the series is about. When I think of Sunny, I don't think of her as a girl who has nice, strawberry-blonde hair and wears nice OC-inspired preppy clothes. I think of early 90's grunge, dark hair, messy clothes with rips and stains. But yeah you know, that's just probably me.

"The Thing About Atonement is..."
Atonement was a good movie. I'll probably watch it before I go to sleep tonight just because I'm in that mood to watch Keira and cry. Keira Knightely is a beautiful woman and a great actress. The movie makes me cry everytime I watch it. I also hate that girl with the red curly hair and Keira's younger sister in the movie. Seriously. STUPID, STUPID YOUNG GIRLS BREAKING UP AN EPIC LOVE! Ugh, it frustrates me. It also frustrates me how skinny Keira is. So, so jealous. The story it's self is good. I want to read the book, which is on the list I've written of books that I want to read, which is probably not even half completed because I've only got three Stephen King books and barely any of the "classics" that I want to read and celebrity bio's. "Atonement" shows up in a lot of books, TV shows and movies. Angel's atonement was for all the bad things he did as Angelus, everyone he helps and saves after he's gotten his soul is helping him towards that. Pretty much, that show showed me what Atonement meant.
Models. I love models. Seriously do.
I'm jealous of the 5'9'' +, 100lb beautiful women that grace most of my fashion magazines, internet pages and books of fashion that I like to buy. One of my favourite models is Freja Beha Erichsen. She has this grungy, un-made up look about her that makes me look at her. I love her tattoos. They're pretty cool. Victoria Secret Fashion Show was on the other day. I don't even know when it will be on Australian TV, or if it has already. Damn...! I remember the first ever Victoria Secret Fashion Show I ever watched was back in 2006. Justin Timberlake opened the show with Sexy Back and Gisele walked out in gold. It was Miranda Kerr's first show ever and she was the first ever Australian model to walk for VS.
Makes me wanna go buy some VS, ha.
