Music Monday: Beatdown.

This song is such a Hype tune, Iggy Azalea came through with her swift tongue over a siccckkk Steve Aoki &Angger Dimas beat. Not to mention I just love Iggy, she's beautiful.

ITS A PARTY ON YA FACE AND I'M BOUT TO DANCE ON IT.

Weekend Wrap-up: Django Unchained Review

So if you know me, you know my favorite movies are Kill Bill Vol.1 and 2. It's only right that I made my way out to see another Tarantino classic, Django Unchained. In my opinion, that movie is pretty epic. It's a little long, however definitely worth it. I am soooo annoyed by everyone who says it is making light of slavery and uses the N-word too much. First off, all of the slavery scenes were pretty unbearable--much like what slavery actually was. Yes they say the n-word a lot. In the South back in 1850, black people got called nigger a lot. It happened. Oh, and the other big argument was how Tarantino "Predicted the rise of the KKK too early." In the movie they were called the "Regulators" and rode with pillow cases with holes cut out for their eyes. It was one of the more comical parts of the movie, but it's just that.... A MOVIE. Its a Tarantino spaghetti western, no one expects historical accuracies. This isn't a period film. RELAX.
Bold, yes. Bloody, yes yes. The cast was perfect, I wouldn't replace any of the characters. Samuel L. Jackson's character Steven was giving me Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks. I couldn't even deal.  Fun fact, Django Unchained was the first Tarantino film not to be edited by Sally Menke (who died in 2010.) Editing duties were instead handled by Fred Raskin, who had worked as an assistant editor in Tarantino's previous film. PLUS, the budget for the film was between $83-100million. CRAY. I love you Quentin Tarantino.

If you're interested in other Tarantino films (because trust me they're all great) Kill Bill vol 1 and 2, Reservoir Dogs, Inglorious Bastards and Pulp Fiction are where its at. Not to mention his RZA collab, Man with the Iron fists.

Bonus points for this awesome John Legend song that was in the movie.

HAVE YOU SEEN IT?

Friday Inspiration: Carrieisms.

SO as much as I pretended to hate the show Sex and the City growing up I must say in my adult life it has re-purposed itself into a hilariously amazing microcosm for every females life. Well, maybe not every female... but in essence it's highly relate-able. Relate-able in a way that is " Hey, I can relate to that," or "Wow that sucks that's never happened to me so my life doesn't suck so bad." I'm just going to put myself out there and say in a nutshell I want awesome clothes and to fall in love. Find my Mr.Big. I too sit in front of my computer spilling inner consciousness. I must say Carrieisms are great, examples to follow:

Carrie and I both share great core values.

We're both Mildly anti-social.

Both have great life questions.

Oh, and have great luck. 

But at the end of the day, usually when writing... we find ourselves stable minded.

Current Crave: Neon beanies

How many seasons in a row have I been in love with pops of neon in the winter? It just won't die but that is perfectly fine with me. Now that I have gotten a keratin treatment (an intend to get it redone this month) my head is open to all kinds of extra accessories; as if I didn't have a huge headband collection in high school/ college that might have rivaled Blair Waldorf.Not to mention the weather in Houston has been mildly frightful. And by mildly frightful I mean 40s and 50s.It is only right that all parts of me receive extra warmth while looking obnoxiously awesome. What better than a neon beanie to spice up a dreary sky and a winter color palate?

 

WOULD YOU ROCK IT?

Hello 2013!

So as the year 2012 brings to a close it is only stereotypical and routine that I reflect on this year as a whole. I've seen tremendous growth through this blog and I want to shout THANK YOU to everyone who has been supporting me. This blog started in a dorm at Sam Houston, Belvin Buchannan: room 215. Its been 4 years, I graduated in May of this year, and life has been nothing like I would ever have imagined. So here I am, working in the corporate world, attending random fashion events, losing love, getting a new car. And of course lame stuff too like bills,being overworked and underpaid, lack of sleep.
So many new faces have come in to my life and I have always lived by the rule that everything happens the way it's supposed to. I can say that I am learning to be happy. I don't do the whole new years resolution thing, but I do hope to be a lot happier next year. I'm just going to keep going with the flow, I need to just keep working hard.
With that being said, my blog hiatus is OFFICIALLY OVER. I am rebuilding MalibuMara from the ground up. Think of it as a sexy phoenix rising from some ashes or something. 2013 for me will be about new things. I've been going with the flow lately and as unpredictable as it is, I think it's heading in the right direction. I just have to trust this universe.... I mean,  
DO YOU BELIEVE IN DESTINY?
