Emma Watson on the Cover of T Magazine

Emma Watson recently graced the cover of The New York Times Style Magazine or T Magazine. I walked into my office at Forbes and did my happy dance when I saw it. Y'all know how I feel about Emma.

Watson was her usual humble and grounded self. I was excited to learn that she will be working on some type of Beauty and the Beast remake in the future. It confirmed her roles in both "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "The Bling Ring." It did not address the rumors about Watson in the film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey"... darn.

However, once I completely read the article, I was not a happy camper. I can't imagine Ms. Watson is either. Apparently, T Magazine assigned the most aloof writer on staff to write this piece. Mr. Will Self seems to be bored by Ms. Watson and her career, certainly not interested.

Confused much? There wasn't a writer on staff who actually wanted to talk to Emma?

The one sentence that caught me the most off gaurd was, "Watson did talk to me a little about her roles , but I simply can't hear actors when they speak about their work -- the world around me often grows misty and I swoon away altogether."  Uh... maybe I'm confused but... wasn't the whole point for Mr. Self to learn about Watson and her work? Maybe that is just his writing style, not sure. The article just left me very confused.

T Magazine has posted the article online and it is available here. Maybe its just me.

The End of an Era

I went to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 today before work. Best. Movie. Ever. 

It was so hard knowing that this was the end. There are no more books and no more movies. Daniel, Emma, and Rupert did amazing as their last moments as Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I cried several times.

David Yates did a fantastic job translating Rowling's book to the screen. Naturally, some parts had to be left out but the best parts all made it. The was a wonderful way to say goodbye to my childhood. The next step for me is to go visit the Wizarding World of Hary Potter, the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando. My whole family is going in August as my graduation trip. Y'all do you I graduate on May 12, 2011... anyway, I digress. It was a great film. Check it out if you get a chance.

My 3D glasses from the show. They look like Harry's!

She's Back: Ms. Watson on the cover of Vogue

So you all know how I feel about Emma Watson... She's on the cover of the July 2011 issue of Vogue (the US one this time). It's bittersweet if you ask me. Every cover she does just reminds me of how near we are to the end of the Harry Potter era; there are 21 days left until the last movie is released.

Watson is working on several new projects and doing her best to move away from being, "Hermoine Granger." As a fan, its so hard for me to leave it in the past but I am really excited to see all her new work, like her new clothing line. Also, she is now the new face of Lacôme.

Anyway, I went to go pick up the magazine today and I almost died because I thought they were sold out, but they were just at the front of the store. I love it; the hair is growing on me very very very slowly.
I hope to enjoy actually reading the magazine though. I'll let you know.

Thumbing Through: Marie Claire Magazine

So as a journalism major, I am often encouraged by my professors to read and read often. Because of who I am, often, a lean for the glossy, shiny pages of a magazine. I first came across Marie Claire in December when Emma Watson was their cover girl.



Now, I'm not sure if you know how I feel about Emma Watson so let me explain. Miss Watson plays the infamous Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, which by the way, will conclude with The Deathly Hallows Part 2 this July. Anyway, so I've been watching Emma in movies for about a decade. I love her! So, any magazine with her on the cover is good with me.

Once I actually read the magazine, I realized it was really good. There's a great staple called Big Girl in a Skinny World which is written by Ashley Falcon. She gives excellent fashion advice for those of us who lean on the "plus size" side. They always have amazing fashion and makeup spreads. I do not care for their Love/Sex section but that may just be because I'm a prude.

This month there are four different covers dedicated to the ladies of the TV phenomenon, Glee. The girls look great in their blue dresses, each sharing their story of how they became a cast member on Glee.
