Chrissy Teigen, Not the Hero We Wanted, But the Hero We Deserve

Are you surprised that I'm not writing about something music related? Though Chrissy Teigen is married to one of my favorite artists, John Legend.

Today, I'm casual screaming about Chrissy Teigen, who is both a hero and a celebrity crush of mine. I have her on Tweet and Instagram post notification. I bought her first cookbook when I started cooking for my family after moving back home from college.
Chrissy came to my attention in 2013, when I saw her in John Legend's video for his song "All Of Me" and then I found out that she is his actual wife. I have been a John Legend fan for so long and I really appreciate that he includes his family in his music videos.

I didn't really follow her after learning about her initially, but she was on my radar more. Every time I saw her in anything I was interested just because she was in it. I remember watching her episode of Ridiculousness on MTV and that is why I really started following her more.

I was still just a casual fan, but if someone mentioned her I was always like "I love her". I didn't become a diehard fan until recently.
I watched NBC's Jesus Christ Live and was so excited because I knew John was going to do an amazing job. What should have been a month-long obsession with John Legend, became me selling my soul to Chrissy.

I followed the John Legend tag on Tumblr and found some Tweets of Chrissy trolling him and that was when I became a diehard fan.

But you may be asking who is Chrissy and why do I love her so much. And I'll explain.

She is not John Legend's wife. I mean she is, but don't refer to her as just his wife. She has her own career and is her own person.
She is mostly known for her modeling career. Which is understandable because she is gorgeous. She also has two cookbooks out - and trust me from the recipes I've tried SHE IS GOOD. She is also the co-host of Lip Sync Battle which is one of the few reasons I'm upset I don't have cable, but I love watching clips on YouTube.

I love her Tweets so much. That is a big reason I am such a fan. I love how she jokingly and lovingly drags her husband often. Keeps him humble. I love that she doesn't care what people think. Maybe she does, but that's not what she puts out. She will troll President Trump. And even though I try not to get political on this blog, but I love that. BY THE WAY, THIS IS GOING LIVE ON NOV. 6! IF YOU ARE ABLE TO, GO VOTE!!!

I just love everything about what she puts out. Obviously, I don't know her personally and maybe she's a different person in her personal life, but her public persona is what I'm a fan of. Honestly, she is one of few celebrities that I am a fan of that I can say has not disappointed me. I don't think she's ever done anything that I've disagreed with.

I live for her Tweets and Instagram Story updates.
I can confidently say that she is one of my favorite celebrities. Up there with John Tartaglia and Paul McCartney. If you know me, you know that she ranks high.

She is one of my heroes. She is someone I look up to. She is someone who motivates me. I am looking forward to being able to get her second cookbook as soon as I can afford it. She really has been inspiring me to cook more for my family, because I never really learned how to cook in my upbringing. My mom always said, "you're only concern is school". And that has screwed me up now as an adult.

So now I'm learning to cook and I have used her first cookbook, Cravings, a few times. I am a recipe person. You can't just tell me what to do. I need to have it written out. So she's saved me a few times with the book.

Chrissy Teigen is much more than the model everyone knows her as. She is much more than John Legend's wife. She is an intelligent, funny, talented woman. And she deserves more credit than people give her.
Wasn't going to end the post without a photo of her and John being cute.

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
