The Sisterhood Exists In Real Life

Hands down – this had to be one of the sweetest things I’ve read all week. Growing up, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was one of my favorite series. I couldn’t always exactly relate to all of the situations that happened in the books or even felt like I resonated with one character, but there were a series of moments that I maybe identified with spread out between the four characters. After the series was turned into a movie and then a sequel, I was ecstatic. The actresses selected were such a good fit, but sometimes that’s all it is – just acting, right? It’s sometimes rare for people that are cast in a movie to stay friends afterwards, but not these 4.

It was revealed this week that Blake Lively made Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, and America Ferrera the godmothers of her newborn baby. Awwww!

Edit: 4/12 oh this is disappointing that it isn’t true after all… [E!]

3rd “Sisterhood” Film Announced

I nearly squealed like a young pre-teen when I found out today that there would be a third “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” film. These books were my youth. I remember flying through these books in a matter of days and even though I had never gone through any of the experiences that the four friends went through, I somehow felt I could relate. I cried, laughed, and nodded in agreement to just about every situation as I read them and when I watched the two films that were created based off of the books, I did the same thing.

“Sisterhood Everlasting” was the last book in the series to be written and it fast forwards to 10 years later where we learn what the young women have been up to. The third film will capture that bringing the four actresses and real-life friends back together again.

Sisterhood Everlasting

Every summer, I try to make it my goal to finish one book. Previous summer reading books have included Blink! The Tipping Point, and The Time Traveler’s Wife. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to finish any of these books. Now, I don’t want you to get the idea that I’m not capable of finishing things I start, but with books it’s just tough. I get distracted, things come up, trips get planned, etc etc. I think the main issue is that I’m used to reading blogs everyday and since the length is much smaller in comparison to a book, I can’t seem to stay hooked.

When I learned last night that Ann Brashares had released a fifth book to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, I contemplated whether or not I would buy the book. Would it be worth $25 if I bought the book only to leave it lying around on my coffee table with only one chapter being read? Would I actually man-up and finish it? Maybe this time would be different. It did used to be one of my favorite series. I decided to take that chance and break that book curse. I WILL learn how to read BOTH blogs and books. So I walked myself down to Elliott Bay and bought the hardback, but surprised to find that the cover did not feature the pair of pants that the rest of the series had.

Wish me luck!

Pretty Little Liars Throwback

The summer premiere begins at 8PM and I cannot wait! And to prepare myself, I am holed up in one place watching the marathon until then. To celebrate the premiere, this post is dedicated to the lovely Pretty Little Liars and what they all were doing before they were cast in the hit show.

First off, today is Lucy Hale’s 22nd birthday! Before she was cast as the hip and artsy Aria, Lucy was dating Wizards of Waverly Place star David Henrie. She was also in the canceled show Privileged, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and performed as a young pre-teen on American Juniors.

Troian didn’t have too many notable roles before Pretty Little Liars, but she was in Billboard Dad with the Olsen twins!

Before Pretty Little Liars, I used to get Ashley Benson mixed up with Taylor Momsen – these days that won’t be a problem. Ashley played a mean girl in Lifetime’s Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal and a nice girl in one of the Bring It On movies, but I prefer her as the HBIC.

Shay Mitchell first breakout role was being cast as Emily Fields on Pretty Little Liars. There aren’t too many pictures of her from back in the day, but she has had a complete transformation since her first days on the set and is now a spokesperson for a line by Pantene.

Alexis Bledel really hasn’t done anything since Gilmore Girls. And her character in The Sisterhood movies were always kind of blah but this excites me to see her being someone completely different. Plus… I really like her love interest but anyways this looks cute.
