Elle Woods
 The Nines (Special Edition) $14.94 And the point is? The people in the movie seem to have completely lost it. Sometimes I think that may apply to our whole culture, but this kind of fluffy drugged out dream cloud of a movie just isn't helping anyone think more clearly about our realities? Straight jackets all around and padded cells for the writer and producer. For a film like this the acting was pretty good.  Elle Woods #1: Blonde at Heart (Legally Elle Woods) $6.99 I stumbled upon this book and the idea of it made me smile, so I picked it up. I love the Legally Blonde movies and reading about Elle as a teen seemed fun. Really though, when they do books like this, they should say "loosely based" not "based" on another story. Taking it from that perspective, I enjoyed it. Silly, cute, and over-the-top kind of fun that made for an entertaining, light-hearted read. This version of Elle is a frumpy sixteen year old. Braces. Glasses that are too big for her face. Mousy hair. Chewed nails. Baggy clothes too. If they were going to start Elle out like this, they should have made her younger than sixteen. It might have fit better then. Might. Also, they gave her a puppy that's not Bruiser. Unless something tragic happened, this dog would have still be around in her college days. Just saying... What I did like about this book was Elle's directness in deciding what she wanted and going full on with a path to get it. Nothing is impossible for her if she puts her mind to it and takes help from what might at first seem like unlikely sources. She also has a good heart, not to mention a love for pretty things. And all that right there is why I love the character Elle Woods so very much! |
