I know that this may come as a shock to you but yes, I participate in online dating. Really, I just have a online dating account. My extent of online dating is to have random guys tell me that I'm pretty. Shallow? Yes. Do I care? No! Sometimes a girl needs a pick me up. And since the last time a guy told me I was pretty in real life I was in highschool, this seemed like a good option. I really have no desire to date any of the guy on the dating website because A) because I've seen too many E! shows that begin with online dating and end with someone dead and B) there is NO ONE worth dating on these sites. That is was brings us to this post. In my 8 months of having a online dating account, I have noticed that the men that cyberly approach me can be categorized in 9 categories. What do I do with this knowledge, share it with you of course! 

The 9 Guys You Meet Online Dating:

1. The "Hey girl" guys.That's all they write in any message to you- "hey girl." Of course, there are variations to this message that can range from "hi" to "hey" to my personal favorite "heyy gurl". Like, what are you a fierce drag queen? And what's with the two Ys on the hey? Do you think that the the presence of the extra y is going to get you a date with me?  Like I'm sitting at home on my computer going "mhmm he doubled the y, I got to get me some of that!" Um, that would be a nope. You want to know how to get any RESPECTABLE girl- learn how to spell. It's not that hard, most computer have this little thing called auto correct so use it and don't abuse it- the English language that is. 

2. The visual lovers. These are they guys they only go as far as your profile picture before sending a message. They never read anything about you, such as your interest or likes or that you don't drink, but invite you out for one anyway. You wonder, even if it's for a minute, if they are illiterate due to their lack of interest in my interest. I understand that physical appearance DOES factor into dating and that anyone that says otherwise it lying to themselves and others, but it's only a part of dating.Dating is like a book- the cover might draw you in but the writing is what keeps you there! Well it should...unless it's a picture book. So, David, what do we think about these guys?  

 3. The body shot guys. Nothing say romance like a gym selfie of you delts. It might be a little unfair but I automatically put all of these guys into a category labelled "Don't Go There Ever Ever Ever." I mean, maybe I would date you if I wanted to spend a whole date talking about the pros and cons of whey protein after lifting and whether or not your pecs are defined enough or if I wanted to watch you flex in front of every reflective surface you come in contact with. Yep, that's the way to get a girl.Now, disclaimer, these are not the guys that go to the gym. I like going to the gym as well as guys that go to the gym. These are the guys are usually so self absorbed because they have a hot body and aware that they are "hot" which eventually drives all women that come in contact with them away from them...far away. (Which is probably why they have ended up on a online dating website) So I raise my Bojangles cup to you body guy shot. I hope that the hours of developing your body and ignoring your drowning personality will gain you a girl some day. 

4. The Hugh Hefners. Any and all dating websites you sign up on will always ask you your age. Wanna know why? Because people usually date other people around there age. And yet, for some reason, some guy old enough to be your dad will message you. I mean, old guys need love too but so do old women. Have you not seen the commercials for It's Our Time (.com)? There is a dating website for you and your contemporaries where y'all can talk about the moon landing and the Flower Power movement. So, please go stalk them instead of messaging me 6 times. That way, when you are on you date talking about when the Beatles toured America, you can talk to someone who was also alive during that time. 

This could be you!

5. The Super Creeps.The super creeps are a mysterious breed of online daters- like the Trojan horses of men. They seem like harmless, genuine guys but mark my words- these are the guys that make a skin suit of your flesh. You may thing that I'm joking but I'm not. I have only come in contact with this type of guy a few times, with one being most prevalent. This guy told me wrote a page and a half about how I was an angel who fell from heaven to grace the mere mortals with my heavenly face- pretty much everything short of confessing his undying love to me. At first it seemed sweet but after sharing it was my girlfriends it was clear that this guy wasn't romantic- he was a psycho. Seriously, if I had gone on a date with him, I probably would have been found in a ditch missing my lips and hair. Side note- I did see him at school once and though there were witnesses around, I hid my face. I like my lips and hair too much. 

6. The Basement Dwellers. These guys may or may not live in their mother's basement and may or may not have a form of employment. But one this is for sure- they understand any geeky reference you could whip out. They spend most of their time reading Battlestar Galatica fanfiction and Dungeons and Dragons forums and can name all of the Houses of Westeros. Are these bad attributes? No necessarily. In fact, I personally love geeky guys- see Henry Cavill and World of Warcraft. But these guys are typically the kind that rather live their life on the web and not in the presence where we live.That's why online dating probably appeals to them- they can do it online. They just need to surface from their Fortress' of Geeky Solitude once in a while to meet the sun. Please.Oh and eat and apple or something. 

 

7. The Deceivers.The unfortunate truth about the internet is that everyone can be who they want- and it's twice so for online dating. The first thing you see about anyone on a dating website is their picture. So, you obviously want you profile pic to look good. Unfortunately, some guys (and girls) have taken that to a whole new level. They post these unbelievable attractive pictures of them self that makes you click on them, only to reveal the truth-that they look NOTHING like that. Imagine seeing a trailer with Channing Tatum and then going to the movie and Channing Tatum is not in it, but Adam Sandler is. You see my disappointment. I know that looks aren't everything but don't post a photoshopped, filtered picture of you in high school as you profile pic. Not cool. Then there are the ultimate deceivers who must think that every girl on said dating website is an idiot and post a picture of a male celebrity as his profile pic. I came in contact once with a guy who have Chris Hemsworth picture as his profile pic- with Just Jared watermark and all. Being the girl that I am, I called him out. #TrueStory

Profile Pic vs. Reality

8. The Genuine Guys. Yes, they do exist in online dating but are like the proverbial needle in a haystack. To get to these guys you have to sort through men upon men, like a sale bin in Victoria's Secret. These guys have well thought out profiles which include certain unseen dating profile luxuries such as punctuation and capitalization. When they contact you, they focus more on your personality and likes and ask you real questions. These guys do not start by asking for you number or for you to go hangout because they want to get to know you and a person before meeting up in real life. They want to get to know you as you are. Good job guys. 

Dylan O'Brien- because I can

9. The Pervs.These guys are the underbellies of online dating society. They scurry around like cyber rats looking for their next victim to scar. The online dating life is usually very short because they are report so often to the website that they are kicked off. Sometimes these guys will just annoy you and ask things like "Heyy gurl, you wanna hook up later" but sometimes they take this one step further and send an explicit picture of themselves that makes you want to hurl and afraid to close you eyes. Avoid these guys like a plague and be wary opening any messages- a little tip from me to you.

Poor bunny- some things can not be unseen

As you can see, there are all sorts of guys on online dating sites. Some want to bench press you, some want to strip you of your skin and then there are some who want to flash you. Just be careful and safe and it you can find someone worth dating, hold onto them like a dress at a Barney's sample sale. 

XX -but not in a creepy, psycho way

Tutorial Tuesday: I made a skirt

This is not a tutorial per se in the classic sense, more of a tutorial review. As part of my year of empowerment and self discovery- also known as my unexpected year off- I decided that I want to learn how to sew. I wish I could say that the desires stem for want to make things for others (like Tabitha in the Bible) but I really just like clothes (Like the adorable vintage looking clothes on Mod Cloth.com) but have a limited budget to spend on them. The solution? Learn how to make them myself so I can expand my wardrobe and save money.

I decided that my first project would be to make a skirt. Skirts looked like simple items to make for a beginner like me and I can always use a new one. So, I took to the Pinterest to find a tutorial and I came across this one from This Big Oak Tree. It was a simple, high waisted skirt with a bow- perfect for what I wanted.

So, on this past rainy Friday, I attempted to make my first skirt. I say “attempted” because, though I have a finished project, it is far from perfect and actually unwearable. Whoops. My stray sewing skills (I do like alliterations) were not reflective on her blog tutorial, but the fact that I can't draw or cut a straight line (though I blame the first on my yard stick- I’m 99% sure it’s not straight).

I decided to tweak her original skirt by making it sit on my hips instead of my waist. I also decided not to make a bow, but that had more to do with running out of fabric.

My first problem was probably my fabric choice. Cute as it is/was, it was probably too thick for the type of skirt I was trying to make by following the tutorial exactly. When worn, it bunches up on my hips in a very unflattering way and makes them look bigger. Not really what my self-esteem needs. I tried to work the skirt up onto my waist instead, but it was too big and still bulky.

My second problem came in the zipper. I do not have a zipper foot- pause for the outrage- my old machine did, but it has since gone to the great sewing shop in the sky. I've put on zippers with a regular ole normal, comes with every sewing machine foot before, so I tried to do it again this time. Well, that probably wasn’t the smartest this seeing that the fabric was already thick and then folded over with a zipper behind it. I actually broke a needle and got it caught in the fabrib, as well as totally un-aligning the back of the skirt. And the zipper still isn’t even complete attached, there are holes where the needled didn’t get through it and the fabric. I will be purchasing a zipper foot on my next trip to a craft/fabric store.

So, what to do know that I have a wonky skirt? A) I’m going to try again with thinner fabric and actually make it a waist skirt- with bow- this time and B) If I succeed at attempt two, I’m going to try to rework my existing disaster. My thinking it that if I rework it to a waist skirt and remove some fabric to make it less bulky as well as fix the disastrous zipper, I might, might, be able to make it into a respectable skirt. I really hope I can because it would be SUPER cute.

The moral to this story is that her tutorial was GREAT- she was very easy to follow (minus one of the first steps where her wording was confusing) and included picture for every step to help you on your way. For any beginner-like me- who’s looking to make a skirt like this, it is DEFINIETLY the tutorial for you. Unfortunately, my skirt didn't turn out as a wanted it but that is not because of the tutorial- I’m just a lousy seamstress.

Until my next adventure-

Stunning Sunday: Theo James

Happy Mother's Day!!!

To all mothers everywhere, I hope you all have a wonderful days full of love and laughter. I am not a mother, but I can’t wait to join the ranks.

So, what to write about on this cloudy hot Sunday? How about the hottest craze sweeping the nation- Theo James.

Can't you see him in this? 

I’ll admit it, I really had no interest in seeing Divergent. Another movie based on a book post-apocalyptic America where people are grouped and forced to live due to strict guidelines then another group gains power and tries to wipe out a certain group and there’s a rebellion led by an unlikeable female, blah blah blah…. Yeah, I know I’m in the minority but I grew up on Harry Potter, Narnia and Tamora Pierce, I’m kinda a book snob. But I went with my friends to see it because they really wanted to and I was pleasantly surprise. No, not by the plot (though it wasn’t bad) but by the HOT male eye candy. Hellllooooo sailor! In fact, that should be his next role! He should be a sailor or marine or navy seal or army pilot, basically anything that has his dressed like Josh Hartnett in Pearl Harbor. (Don’t judge my indescribable attraction to men in 1940’s military outfits)

See it? 

Of course, Theo James’ face was plaster in every theater and the trailer played before every movie and in every commercial break, but it was nothing compared to seeing him in tatted up action for approximately 2 and a half hours. I think that every comment made during that movie, beside the few made about the Macklemore looking jerk and that her brother is going to be her boyfriend in "The Fault In Our Stars",  was about how F.I.N.E. he is. Even my friend Aim, the most reserved of my comrades, had some feisty, uncharacteristic comments.

That little minx.

So what makes the desirable Theo James desirable? Well, Auntie Catherine is here to break it down for you.

Let’s start with the face, shall we. He has one, a nice one. And it’s the perfect mix between rugged manly man and pretty boy.

Jawline? Manly

Cheekbones that might be the offspring of Benedict Cumberbatch’s? Pretty boy

Every present, five o’clock scruff? Manly

The most perfect set of teeth and lips which creates the most beautiful smile? Pretty boy

The hair? A mixture of both- a perfect combination of thick brunette style so effortlessly perfect

Combine these gorgeous attributes with a pairs of smoldering brown eye and a perfect nose and you get this:

This boy…man…has is ALL!

Now, the voice. If you think that a man’s voice in no way contributes to his overall attractiveness, then obviously you’ve never heard Hugh Jackman speak (or sing) or (again I have to mention) Benedict Cumberbatch.

Theo had such manly voice (see link below) and, though not present in Divergent, he is British which means that he also has an accent. (again see link below) 

He could sell a car to an Amish elder.

 Can I get an Amen?

The body. I feel like I’m just wasting my breath discussing his body. Yep, it’s perfect; rock hard abs, biceps as big as my head, suspected muscular thighs. But he isn’t ginormous like the Rock or perfectly leaned and tone like Andrew Garfield. He’s, as the old tale goes, just right. Here a gif of him shirtless- because I’m a giving soul.

I feel like I have to mention his tattoos from Divergent here too. I am not opposed to dating a man with a tattoo or two. I've never dated a man with one, but that’s because the majority of my boyfriends happened in high-school and they weren’t old enough to get one. But the thing about tattoos in regards to attractiveness is that they have not be stupid or obnoxious (like that)  and well placed. They nailed (or needled) it on the head with is. Though there were a lot, they were simple, black and placed on his back. Good job Divergent. (I do know that they design, placement and color were probably indicated in the book and only followed by the producers of the movie, so well done Divergent author as well)

I know nothing of his personality. Is he the complete gentlemen that Tom Hiddleston and bring tea and soup to waiting reporter? Don’t know, though his English upbringing might be an indication that he is. Is he a closet nerd like Henry Cavil who almost missed his role for Superman because he was playing World of Warcraft (I do love a hot nerd) or Andrew Garfield who’s always wanted to be Spiderman. Does he spend his time surfing like Liam Hemsworth? Or playing with his dog like Kellan? Is he a big flirt like Chace Crawford or Leonardo Dicaprio? (Theo and Leo do rhyme)  Can he sing like mi amor, Ben Barnes.  Or does he just take naked selfies like James Franco and hit on underage girls. (Seriously, James, we need to have an intervention) I don’t know, but I’m sure we are going to be seeing a lot more of this British hunk in the upcoming years- at least until they finish Allegiant II. Right Theo? 

Of course I will, Theo. 

So, happy Sunday everyone. Enjoy living life and looking at hot guys!

Love you bunches and see you on Tuesday!

Book Review:

Before the trailer came out, I new NOTHING about this book. I remember scrolling through the new trailers on my IMDB app, a favorite before bed activity, and it caught my eye. Knowing nothing that the book-or that there even was a book- I watch the trailer. (see below)

The Fault In Our Stars Trailer

"That looks sad, but good" was the only description I could muster after watching the live manifest of a book. I stupidly decide to look it up through Wikipedia, found out that it was written by John Green-who I knew from YouTube- and read the plot summary. Did you catch the stupid? I stupidly read the plot summary, not the synopsis, and stupidly found out every major detail of the book. Yep, I'm an idiot. I went away thinking that it was like "The Notebook", but with cancer. 

Boy was I wrong. 

I decide to read the book- even though I thought I knew every think about it already- this past Sunday in the land on Target. I was looking for a book to read and since everyone was so hyped up about this movie coming out (I mean, seriously Twitter) I would try to figure out what was so important about the sad book about the sad teenagers who have cancer. I case you know nothing about it, the book in a boy meets girl story about two teenagers who met at a cancer support group, Hazel and her Augustus. There are laughs and tears and anger and joy wrapped up in roughly 250 pages of printed paper. 

I finished last night around midnight.

Imagine "Starry Night" by van Gogh. Every stroke was place in the precise position, at the precise time to form an eternal masterpiece. That's how I feel about this book. It's a masterpiece. Now, it not my favorite novel of all time, I've read it once and I'm sure I'll read it again some day, but I don't have the overwhelming feeling to reread it now. I placed it on the shelf with all of the other books I've read, all of the other worlds I've live in and lives I've lived. 

But John Green's worlds are important. Each sentence is like a stroke of a paintbrush to this masterpiece. And I have to admit, I've never felt more stupid reading a book. He didn't use the simple, run of the mill words that we use daily to describe our lives. He's writing and his use of words reminded me of that scene from Dead Poet's Society where Robin Williams is standing on a desk teaching his class how to write. He tells them to use solid, all encompassing words rather that adjectives/adverbs to describe something.  

John Green might as well been that speckled guy in the front, for that's exactly was he did. The descriptions and emotions he arrayed through mere pen on paper is extraordinary. 

Now, I will say this, these characters are supposed to be highschoolers. The language in which the spoke, the fluidity of words and the emotional self awareness they felt is not something have ever encountered, in high school or college. Perhaps the thought that death was near forced them to enter this greater state of self awareness, but it sometimes felt out of character for a teenager. Maturity as an individual does come with realization that they are staring down death. Teenager usually feel invincible- Hazel and Augustus knew that they weren't.  Maybe that's what make is so beautiful, choosing to live when you know that you are going to die. So many would just give up, not in their personal well being, sure they would do what the doctor said, but put off their live until they were "done" with whatever plagued them. Hazel and Augustus lived their life in spite of cancer. 

Now the love story. Their love story is going to be one of modern day literature legend, right up there with Allie and Noah, Big and Carrie and even Bella and Edward. These are the romances that we wish we could live but know that they will never be ours. No one will ever write me 365 letters or build me a house or bring me into a life of eternal darkness with a bit. (I'm okay about the last one, being alive forever would be exhausting- and, as Peter Pan said "To die will be an awfully big adventure") But that's why we have books- to enter words that are not obtainable in ordinary life. 

In short, I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone looking for something wholehearted to read. This book is a literary rollercoaster of emotions that leaves you feeling whole. Now, be forewarned, there's language and non-graphic sexual content in the book, so read at your own risk- but it is worth the read. 

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” 
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

I do, John. I do. 

Read. Love. Live.

Tutorial Tuesday: Leia Inspired Hairstyle

In case you unfortunately missed in, Sunday was Star Wars Day! A nerdy holiday celebrated throughout the world with Star Wars food, shirts and, of course, viewing of the movies. It was also a Sunday and, though my mother wouldn’t let me wear my Star Wars t-shirt to church, I decided to wear a Star Wars inspired hairstyle. No, it’s not Leia’s legendary buns or the ridiculously awesome braided up-do that I absolutely LOVE (pictures of both below) but a mixture of both. And this hairstyle can be wore not only on a nerdy holiday, but for anything from special occasions to sweaty, summer days outside. It keeps you both cool and cute while keeping your hair out of your eyes- useful when you are fighting against the empire.

Supplies Needed:

The little helix pins are Simple Styles Spin Pins made by Goodys. I got them around 4 years ago and I LOVE them. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants/needs pins for buns and other up-dos.

The How-To (with pictures)

Step 1: Brush the ever loving crap out of your hair. If you have a thin or silky straight hair (I am totally jealous of you then!) spray some texturing spray. Braids hold better when you have some sort of texture. Today I’m working with second day hair that hasn’t been styled because I’ve only been cleaning and running errands, so it’s either been up or in a braid. Please don’t judge it.

Ugly hair! Oh what to do!

Step 2: Part your hair as normal and tie off the side with less hair (the side closest to your part).  Run a brush through your free hair a few more times, then part it with your fingers for braiding. Start French braiding close to your scalp, grabbing small sections and working them through your hair. Braid behind you ear, stopping at the base of your next and pinning it off with bobby pins. You could try to tie the braid off with a ponytail holder/ hair tie, but I find bobby pins to be the easiest.

Step 3: Repeat on the other side. Start high up on your scalp and braid using tiny sections. Braid the hair at an angle towards your opposite shoulder. When you meet up with the other braid, hold the current braid with one hand and try slip the pins out of your hair. Try to not let the completed braid get too undone, but start incorporating the remaining hair into your bigger braid.  Once you meet the other braid, you can start using larger sections until you have a completed braid over your shoulder on the side of your part and tie it off.

Step 4: You are almost done! Yay you!!! Fluff out you braid a little bit by gentle (gentle being to key word) pulling the plait from either side. Then roll the braid up counterclockwise, wrapping the end over the braid and towards your head. Wrap it up to the side of your head and secure it with bobby pins or spin pins.

Now, you’re DONE! See, wasn’t that easy. I get so many complements on this hairstyle. It’s quick, easy and looks quite impressive when finished. Now, you are ready to attend a dance, day at the pool or fight some stormtroopers, whichever you chose.

If you do this, I would to see pic to tweet me or post them below.

XOXO,

Catherine

Today is May the fourth, otherwise known as Star Wars Day! In case you don’t already know, I am a HUGE Star Wars fan! Like Jabba that Hutt huge. (For all of you non-Star Warsy peeps, that’s the huge slug thing most often seen accompanied by Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini) So, due to the celebratory nature of the day, I feel compelled to write a Star Wars theme post and since I am me, it can only be centered around one thing:

                The Hotties of Star Wars.

Yes, this franchise contains some very physically and characteristically appealing characters. So, here is my countdown of the hottest characters of Star Wars (Episodes 1-6 only, of course)

5. Young Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ewan McGregor. The singing poet from Moulin Rouge is number five on the sexy list. For all of you who don’t know, Ewan plays young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the later made Episodes 1-3. And boy does he. The young Jedi knight trains Anakin Skywalker like he trains our hearts. And, though sometime Obi can be Obibearing (haha get it? Like overbearing but with Obi) we all know it was in hopes of keeping Anakin on the side of the light. Of course, it could probably be argued that this nature is what drove Anakin to the dark side,  but that is neither here nor there in account to his looks. In any case, the gorgeous Ewan made many a girl swoon and hope for private Jedi lessons with this master. Or only misfortune? That he wasn't the singing Jedi master. 

4. Lando Calrissian: Billy Dee Williams. He made be a bit of a scum bag, but we still love him. Lando Calrissian is the Baron Administrator (think like governor/mayor) of Cloud City and first introduced in Empire Strikes Back. His charming nature and powder blue suit charmed many a moviegoer back in the 80s. In fact, four years ago when I attend Star Wars Weekend at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, my own mother yelled “Looking good Billy Dee” to him as he rode passed us in a parade. I nearly died of embarrassment but I can’t deny, in the words of Kingsley Shacklebolt, Billy Dee’s “got style”.  Lando is one of those characters that we all love, then hate, then love again (like Captain Jack Sparrow) but at the end of the rebellion, we know he’s fighting for the light. So Lando, if you are ever in need, I’m sure I can find a few girls who will live with you among the clouds.

Dashing in a cape. Looking good Billy Dee.

3. Anakin Skywalker- Hayden Christenson. Many Star Wars fans have mixed feelings about George Lucas’ choice for the young future sith lord. But there’s one this that you can’t deny- he’s hot. From those gorgeous blue eyes to that seductive smirk, we all knew that we wanted to be his Padmè. Don’t deny it, you know you wanted it too. Even with the unattractive mullet haircut and padawan braid, flocks of teenage girls flocked to the theater to watch the little cutie. Of course, Anakin did turn out to have a bit of an anger problem, but many of us in love with him just wrote it off that he was passionate and fell more in love. Unfortunately, at the end of his time in the Star Wars universe, he was leg less, arm less, hair less and hope less and his women followers mourned for our fallen hottie. But never fear, he (in his entirety) makes his final appearance in the recently update Return of the Jedi where his smiles with alongside Obi and Yoda as one of the light.  Anakin says that a Jedi is encouraged to love and with a face like his, I’m encouraged to love too.

He warned you not to underestimate his power, and don’t underestimate his hotness either.

That SMILE! 

2. Luke Skywalker- Mark Hamill. He’s a Jedi, just like his father before him and a hottie also. The pivot character in the whole Star Wars franchise is, of course, on this list. Those charming good looks, feathered out blonde hair and moisture framer charm charms the ladies from here to Hoth. No wonder his sister kissed him. Luke Skywalker was my first ever character crush. I had it so bad for him that I scratched out Leia’s face on the back of our Empire Strikes Back VHS (yes, I said VHS) with a pen because I was insanely jealous that she got to kiss him and not me. Unfortunately, between the filming of A New Hope and Empire Strike Back, he was in a car accident that affected his innocent, boyish looks and made him actually look darker. But, despite the accident, he was still quite a babe in the final two installments of the original triology- especially when he was being trained by Yoda- hellloooo Dagoba.

And the number one Star Wars hottie is…..

1. Han Solo- Harrison Ford. Have you seen Harrison Ford? Have you seen him in Star Wars? Thought I was originally not attracted to him that much in my young years, with age came my mature appreciate in men and can I just say, he is a FOX! That smirk, those eyes, that chocolate brown hair, those smooth moves and, last but not least, the outfit with the vest and blaster holster- he’s hotter that Alderaan when it gets blown up. (Too soon?) Yes, he’s a cocky scoundrel, but you want him to be your cocky scoundrel. For real. He’s the only guy who could ever reply to a declaration of love with “I know” and totally get away with it. Most guys would probably get slapped, he makes you swoon. He’s the quintessential bad guy turn good guy that all girls want. AND he’s played by the sexy Harrison Ford who also portrays the history loving hottie, Indiana Jones. We might all happen to like nice me, buts it’s Han that we all want.

Now I can’t write a post on the hotties of Star Wars without mentioning the beautiful women of the legendary franchise.

First up, there’s Natalie Portman who plays Padmè Amidala. Though she was often seen with odd makeup and hair, there is no denying that she was a true beauty. Don’t believe me, just watch the wedding seen from Attack of the Clones. I just hope I look that beautiful on my wedding day.

The true woman winner has to be Carrie Fisher as the awesomely amazing Princess Leia. Her white dress and side buns might be iconic, but that is not all that the princess has to offer. She also rocks some amazing braided hairstyles and empire fighting outfits that put many to shame. Strong, stubborn and in love with a scoundrel, she’s one of my favorite princesses (second only to Princess Aurora). She’s not afraid of fighting for a cause and can rock a metal bikini like no other- Princess Leia, I tip my metaphorical hat off to you.

Princess with a blaster gun- that's the type of Princess I want to be!

Now there are some cuties of Star Wars that have to be mentioned as well.

C3PO- the proper droid who could have been a butler in a pass life. He’s always worried, but no matter, we love him anyway.

Chewbacca- Chewy!!! Where would we be without Chewy? Dead…we would be dead.

R2D2- the little droid who could. Even his beeping form of communication is ADORABLE. And he saves their butts more times than you realize.

Yoda- The little green alien who’s older, wiser and more deadly with a lightsaber that any other character but who you kinda want to hug, just once.

The Ewoks- If you don’t love the Ewoks, you are wrong.

So, that wraps up the Hotties of Star Wars tour. Happy Star Wars Day and May the Fourth be with you…always.
