Red dresses rock !

Prom Junk

This article literally is just about how prom dresses that are red are very nice. I completely concur, because a particularly classy red prom dress made me a very happy lass. However, I do disagree that red was the hot color of the year. I chose red because I look good in red ( I think so, at least ) and it's my boyfriend's favorite color. If I'm going to drag him, I might as well try to work any advantage I've got. This year, the hot colors were ironically the cooler colors - purples and blues, in various patterns. Red doesn't traditionally fall into the category of cool colors. Oh, well, promgirl.net can't be too reliable anyway - it was somehow hosted by yahoo.net.
And now, here are the pictures that Miss Mo said to post:

...Okay due to technical difficulties, no pictures are available at this time. However, I shall fix that very soon.

Dolphin Killers

Pink dolphins along the rivers of the Amazon rain forest are being killed and used for bait. Pink dolphins,who were known once magical creatures that could turn into men and impregnate women, are protected by law, but yet fisherman all over the Amazon are killing them because they go after the same fish that we as humans eat. One fisherman, Ronan Benico Rego, believes that these killings are justified as he "wanted to make money." He also harpoons the dolphins "just to be mean." A Portuguese researcher, Miguel Migueis, believes that the killings are ruining the culture and the Amazon. He thinks that if the law does not come in and help the dolphins out, pink dolphins could be no more.
It is tough to not feel bad for the dolphins in this case. Imagine if we were just living our life and aliens come down and start killing us because we both share the same love for cheeseburgers. I am pretty sure we would not enjoy that.

World's Tallest Teen; Taller than LeBron!


Malee Duangdee, from Thailand, is 6 foot 10 inches and is only 19 years old. She ranks in as the world's tallest teen. She is even taller than LeBron James! Duangdee remembers having a tough childhood and having to leave school because the kids were so nasty.

"I used to feel like a freak, school children used to bully me and call me names," she said, according to The Telegraph.

If I was Malee I would definitely feel like an outsider. The constant hovering over my family and friends would be a little uncomfortable. Overtime, I suppose I would be used to it. However, having the title "World's Tallest Teen" would be pretty cool!

Nicholas Cage Bailed Out of Jail in New Orleans

http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/04/16/louisiana.nicolas.cage.arrest/index.html

Personally, I am not as shocked that Nicholas Cage was charged for domestic violence, as I am shocked that Dog the Bounty Hunter bailed him out of jail. Dog called himself "a truly dedicated fan of Mr. Cage,". Mr. Cage was on a drunken rampage that involved his wife. It is hard to tell how serious of an offense this really is. When the police arrived, Cage was yelling at them. Therefore he was arrested. He was released this past Saturday. Even though I am not a fan of his work, I did not expect Nicholas Cage had this side to his personality. I just hope he doesn't get off too easy for this...

Today is our last full day in New Orleans. We're going to grab breakfast (cafe au lait and beninets at Cafe du Monde) and eat it sitting by the Mississippi River.

Also, I found a Kane grave near the voodoo queen. Does that make me a voodoo princess?

I saw the grave of a voodoo queen in this cemetery. Then I saw Trent Reznor's house. New Orleans is fascinating!
