The Resolute Kiss & Coco Chanel

 At the end of every movie, television show, music video, etc, the hero and heroin, who have built upon all that sexual tension and chemistry through the entire film or series, finally get together.

Now, that can end with them getting married, getting engaged, or even sleeping together (and in a certain television series, the heroin getting pregnant with the hero's love child out of wedlock, when we as the audience didn't even know that they FINALLY Did It), but more often than not, the show ends on a kiss. The kiss that ties everything up in a perfect little
bow, leaving us all with a feeling of closure.


So, as you can clearly see with all the screenshots I have here, one of the topics today is...well, yeah. You get the point.

The main reason I have all these screenshots is to become more comfortable with the idea of kissing. To an intimacy-phobe like myself, it can get a little...too intimate for my taste. So, I thought by Prnt Scrn-ing all these, Pic Nik-ing them, and setting them as my background on my laptop, I would eventually get used to it.

And hows that going for me?

Not too well.

I'm still not all that comfortable with it, but hey, progress is progress.

Moving on.

As of yesterday, we started cleaning out our pool. And it was green. Frogs were everywhere (I HATE frogs), and the smell...ew. But on the bright side, I did FINALLY get a tan. So now I no longer closely resemble Helena Bonham Carter a la Sweeney Todd.

I really fail to see the obsession with tanning. I mean, who would really want to look like an overgrown Oompa Loompa? Really??


With that being said, my I also add to the fact that tanning wasn't even popular until the 1940's, when Coco Chanel cam back from the South of France with a tan. Until this happened, it was considered a sign of importance and wealth to be pale. If you were tan back then, it meant that you we out doing some sort of physical activity, and that you had to do it because you were too poor to pay someone else to do it for you. Southern Belles were NEVER tan. That's why they carried those little parasols. But, after Coco came back with a tan, it was a fashion MUST to have a tan. Thus skin cancer and melanoma was born.
