How Buffy the Vampire Slayer Rocked My World

April 22, 2012 by MsCheevious

No, I’m sorry.  This is not about the dark and try-as-it may-to-be sinister television series. It’s about the film from 1992. It was suppose to usher in the dawn of the feminist horror queen heroines. No scream queens in this film.  But instead it was campy and hilarious, and was reviewed poorly… written off by film reviewers.

Then a little thing like a cult following made a television network like the CW stand up and take notice. They repurposed the storyline for a six year run on primetime television. Only, the television version didn’t come close to what fans of the film had fallen in love with:  the hot, somewhat ditzy valley girl (Kristy Swanson) meets somewhat hot and quirky love interest (Luke Perry), two very likable, ill-intending, yet clumsy vampires (Rutger Hauer & Paul Reubens aka Peewee Herman), and a wise old Vampire-Slayer guide (Donald Sutherland).

Since one of those “other” blog sites (Hello Giggles) out there posted “Five Ways Buffy the Vampire Slayer Ruined My Life” about the television show, I decided someone had to talk about how this film impacted modern-day pathos…certainly my own.

The MOVIE “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” rocked my world, because it came at a time when I was a young mother who was newly married. My life had become very proper, and tame. I was introduced to these SNARKY, HILARIOUS, COOL phrases that made up most of the film, and I was in awe. I had always been one of the girls in my circle who wise-cracked and made silly-as-hell jokes about everything, but now, just as Buffy was always ready and always witty, so too I would always be ready with a quick-witted response. I knew that my wit could some day change the world – and definitely save my life.  I was right, of course. Here are just a few of the ways the film and it’s awesome lines ROCKED my world:

  • When something is TOTALLY out of style: What I use to say when something was out of date or unfashionable (oh ten or more years ago) was, like Buffy’s friends in the movie, “That’s SOOOO Five Minutes ago.”  But because the quick wit of the film made such an impression, I’ve become very adept at updating my quips to relate to current culture.  So now I may say, “That’s SOOO five megahertz ago.” OR if I’m REALLY on my game, I’d say (pay attention now, this is GOOD): “That is SO 3G.“
  • How I ALWAYS look on the bright side: David Arquette’s character, Benny was best friends with Luke Perry’s character Pike, but he got turned into a vampire early in the movie.  BUMMER.  Later in the movie he says “Come on, Pike! Join me! Live forever! We can start a band!”  That is SO me.  I’d totally be turning life as a member of the undead into something cool. I’d be the lead singer.
  • When I want to use hormones as an excuse: Buffy learned that as the “chosen one”, the “slayer”, the way she would know that vampires were nearby is she would get cramps, similar to the kind she got during her period.  Her response? “Great. My secret weapon is PMS.”  So, basically, whenever she got cramps, it was time to KICK SOME ASS. HELLO?  Can you say IRON CLAD EXCUSE for going Bat Shit CRAZY on people? Hormones People!  PMS, Periods, Menopause, Whatever!  Voila!  See why it rocked my world?  Now, before you clue me into the fact that Buffy’s cramps were not her actual period and therefore were no excuse for any behavior (one could argue that actually), let me remind you of something.  This is about how it rocked MY world. You can read all the lines on your own (a link to many of them is below) and draw your own conclusions, but no one ever promised objective or even REAL reporting here in Ms. Cheevious-land.  So for me, the cramps bit was a great way for me to excuse MY ASS KICKING behavior when I’m hormonal, unkay?

Heyyyy… maybe I’m not only “like” Buffy. Maybe I AM a Slayer after all.

But really, the list of comedic retorts and phrases goes on and on!  There are so many great lines in that movie.  It definitely ROCKED my world.

That’s it for now my lovelies!  I’m off to beddy-by, where I can dream about slaying the world with my cool-ass wit.

But before I go… one of the readers of my post “10 Things Guys Secretly Wish About Women” asked me to do a similar post about what Women Secretly Wish About Men. I’m toying with the idea.  But in the meantime, for your reading enjoyment, you can find many of the funny lines from the “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” film here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_(film).

See you next time everyone!

Love you people!!!! Mmmmpphhuuhhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Media Mogul Ms.

January 23, 2012 by MsCheevious

**My apologies to my subscribers for the email you may have received while my crack-team (no.  not my team on crack) of site programmers work out the bugs on a new email format! Now onto today’s post!**

Okay Rupert Murdoch: hopefully you’re not in jail for phone hacking, because I may need your help.

There’s a new media upstart in town and she’s… of all things… using her REAL NAME (cue scare chord, as they say in music/film).

I confess.  She happens to be the creator of this website, the Ms. Cheevious book, the YouTube channel, Twitter, Facebook page and well — ME.  But STILL!  Will she stop at nothing?

I suppose not, because here, this is MY blog, and I’m spreading the word like a pawn in her sinister game of chess.  The goal?  World domination, no doubt.  And, I can’t — re–zist— tell–ing… (grunt) you– about — (moan) — the  —  #%!/  — new — YouTube channel!!!  Whew!!! (Exhausted).

So here it is – her first video on her (read with sarcasm) NEW Channel! Neener neener neener & La-Di-friggin-Dah:

If you can’t see the video box above, click here or copy/paste this link into a browser window: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIuADlcACk4&context=C3528ddeADOEgsToPDskLFoyPePK7v5_9f6ffoEYv3

Go there NOW, would you?  No one can predict what she’ll do to me (or any of us) if you don’t!

I’m told this is a Vlog site – so no shows or comedy.  But if you ask me she’s a real crack pot – I mean – crack up all on her own.

Lemme know what you think you gorgeous men and women!

Love you people!!!!! Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Yep. I’m a Crazy Woman.

June 15, 2011 by MsCheevious

But at least I’m still smilin’! HA! I am fast approaching trip number three of FOUR – count ’em – FOUR trips I have planned in the span of six weeks.

On top of this I’m in the midst of financial reorganization (taxes and all that entails), ramping up my blog and related social media platforms (watch for it! Coming soon!) in anticipation of the long awaited publication of my award-winning book “Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood – Confessions of a Hot Mamma” (the alternate title “MILF This! Confessions of a Hollywood Mamma” warrants a vote among you, my readers), as well as the production of more videos and the goal of turning those (at my YouTube Channel www.YouTube.com/IamMsCheevious) into better quality shows, with opening and closing music and more. Then there are the hot mommy products to enhance and support book sales, and oh, the time and work involved.

Let’s not forget, I am the mother of two boys (one who’s grown and the other who lives with dad out of state – whom I am traveling to visit this week), and the girlfriend of M.C. Nugget (for you newbies, I change the names of everyone close to me in my world, unless of course they don’t want me to), who is a busy, working actor and writer, and I am – don’t forget my bread and butter! – the solopreneur of a growing Marketing and PR firm, serving as marketing and branding specialist and publicist to actors, performers, notables and businesses to boot!

Now, in case you were already thinking I was crazy, with no further convincing necessary, let me provide a peak into my infrastructure to add a little steroid to my situation: I recently switched all operations from PC to Macintosh and from Blackberry to iPhone. This is not the seamless transition lauded by the great folks at my neighborhood Apple store, let me assure you!

I’ve cursed in ways even a sailor didn’t know was possible, and certainly I’ve never done, not even in my most rebellious teenage years. I’ve been the reason people have left the field of customer service for the asylum. Forget my funny “Customer Service Hell” video I recently produced (see blog stream on home page)!! I probably should produce an episode entitled “Customer Hell” as I could be the poster child for horrible customers, based on my roller coaster emotions and behavior over recent months!

Am I Crazy? You bet! But despite it all people, I am truly Enjoying Every Moment!

Oh and I wrote this entire post from my new iPhone app!

I can’t provide you all the links I normally do here, to post comments and reply messages from this App, so my lovelies, you will have to find me and post them on your own! (I’m speaking to email subscribers here, of course)!!

Have a fabulously CRAZY weekend you gorgeous boys and girls!

Love you people!!!!

Mmmmmpppphhhuuuhhhh!

XOXO,
Ms. Cheevious

Some R Winnin’

June 9, 2011 by MsCheevious

Get it? Some R, and Summer?  Ha ha.  Well this time I have TWO winners everyone!

One lucky person gets the great makeup from the Hollywood / Award Show gifting suite gift bags. And the other very lucky person gets a consolation prize.  I’ll explain why in a sec.

The winner for commenting and subscribing on “Hiking Colorado Extreme II” is:

For comments made on the video below, and for subscribing!

And for her work, above and beyond expectations (winning some additional swag from the gifting suite bags) the consolation prize goes to:

Not only did this old friend of mine join Youtube to get in on the contest, but even though she is not very computer or Youtube savvy, and could not pick up on how to post a comment on the actual video once she’d subscribed – she posted a comment on my channel’s wall!  So YAY for her!  And she won a cool gift too!

I’m off to Mammoth mountain tomorrow for a weekend of SUMMER SKIING.

Yep.

SUMMER.

SKIING.

Apparently the drought in California is OVER.  They got 10 inches of snow three weeks ago, and it’s been snowing and in the 30’s there at night ever since!  OY!  Here we go again!

Have a fantabulous weekend my lovelies, and when I am back – you will be treated to a new video.  I promise.  This one will have some more guest stars, with a latin flair (COSTA RICA perhaps?) so you don’t want to miss it!

Love you people!  Mmmmmphhhhuuuuhhhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

I Heart Vegas… Mostly

May 14, 2011 by MsCheevious

Don’t be Shy!  Leave a Reply!

Yo yo yo, my little darlings! It’s been far too long!

I have missed you lovely boys and girls SO MUCH!

But, ahhhhhh,  I am very refreshed.  Vegas did me good!!!!  Doesn’t it do everyone good? (She asks, doe-eyed and demurely… heh heh)….

Though I planned, plotted, schemed and organized until I was about to drop dead from the exhaustion (including my time IN Vegas),  I am quite satisfied that Nuggie’s birthday weekend was an incredible success!  (PS: If you are new here, “Nuggie” is the alias for my man.  I only divulge the names of friends and family who agree, or want to make an appearance in my blog/vlogs. Otherwise I have changed their names to protect their identities.  Because – HEY! What happens in Ms. Cheevious-land, STAYS in Ms. Cheevious-land!! Mwaaa-haaa-ha-haaaaa!  But you can see a complete list of the characters who make their appearances in one of my blog “about” pages here – http://www.mscheevious.com/about-2/).

So, without further adieu I am diving right in to the play-by-play of the weekend. Stick around, because near the end I give some reviews on restaurants/bars (i heart nine.nine.nine.nine.nine. hint! hint!), AND I have created a “Highlights Video” just for you! xo

Here is the LOVELY AGENDA I put together.

Emcee Nugget's Birthday Agenda - Day 1

Emcee Nugget's Birthday Agenda - Day 2

Emcee Nugget's Birthday Agenda - Day 3 and 4

There it is people!  Everything went off without a hitch…

WELL…ALMOST.

We experienced a couple of snafu’s which required some fancy footwork at times, but here is the low-down for you.  Be sure to make MENTAL NOTES of who to patronize the next time you are in Vegas.  Listen up people:

MIX RESTAURANT / BAR REVIEW

Food: Spectacular. PASS!

Wait & Restaurant Staff: Superb & Professional, yet exceptionally SLOW.  Pass – but with disappointment.

Management Service & Bedside Manner:

FAIL

WHY?  Well, I’ll tell you:

  1. We had 22+ people spending money on fine wines, expensive dinners and cocktails.  We were assured entrance (ahead of time, I might add, because I wanted to be SURE every detail was covered for my guests in advance) into MIX’s lounge/nightclub after dinner.
  2. BUT, because one of our guests (over 50) did not have her ID with her, they would not allow her in.
  3. We’d spent upwards of $3,000 in our party (at the VERY least), and yet they could not make that concession for ONE person in our group of 22+ people!
  4. Their excuse?  Because it was Las Vegas law that after 10:00 PM everyone must show ID.

That did not bode well at ALL with Ms. Cheevious, publicist to the stars (with some of those very people in attendance)!  Okay.  So I get the law thing, and one could argue my guest should have carried her ID with her in Vegas.

BUT – I contended that the management, KNOWING FULL WELL I was the event planner of this evening, having agreed to allow us into the club, should have informed me ahead of time of that law, so I could inform my guests.

Additionally,  I told the General Manager of the restaurant that we’d visited several clubs all around Vegas the night prior, INCLUDING clubs within their SAME property, and yet we had not run into this problem (the guest didn’t carry her ID that night either).  I also explained very nicely, how I didn’t see why they could not make an exception for one person who was obviously over 21 years of age.  He refused.

FAIL

*****************************

COSMOPOLITAN HOTEL & RESORT REVIEW

I’ll cut to the chase on this one:  They screwed up on our dinner reservation, which meant NO ROOFTOP COCKTAILS, NO DINNER AT STK. NOTHING.

FAIL

They had us down for FRIDAY night, when all along (and I had the email stream to prove it) we wanted Saturday night.  It was a mere typo of mine in a very early email, where I’d referred to our reservation as Saturday May 6th (it was the 7th – and from there on out, was never referred to again), that they took the DATE rather than the NIGHT and went with it – without checking with me.

So, all day Friday by the pool, fingers blazing a trail on my iPhone – lighting it up on fire, with the help of one FANTASTIC set of individuals named BRONSON, PASQUALE & JESSE, made arrangements for 12+ people  for dinner and party time on Saturday night – event though Vegas was crazy that night with a major FIGHT, as well as it being night after Kentucky Derby! OY.

*****************************

Who wins the prize for ABSOLUTE BEST of VEGAS though?

Drum roll… (I love drum rolls… ha)

THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF VEGAS PRIZE GOES TO:

NINE STEAKHOUSE

&

THE PALMS CASINO & RESORT!


The management team (specifically within the Nine Group, Las Vegas) was STELLAR – and INCOMPARABLE to anyone else in Las Vegas. They’d already put me in touch with someone to contact (prior to the “Great Cosmopolitan Screw Up”) so that our party of 15+ people would be admitted into any club we wanted at the hotel, but once they got wind of what happened with Cosmopolitan, they just FIXED it.  SUPERB.  UTTERLY FANTASTIC.

Here is the review of NINE STEAKHOUSE:

FOOD:

PHENOMINAL.  EVERY BITE WAS SUPERB. EVERYONE AT OUR TABLE AGREED.

STK WHO???

Wait & Restaurant Staff:

EXCEPTIONAL.  HEAD AND SHOULDERS WAYYYYY ABOVE THE REST. HANDS DOWN.  DO NOT TRUST ANYONE ELSE!

Management Service & Bedside Manner:

INCREDIBLE – FAR SURPASSING ALL EXPECTATIONS & NOW, OFFICIALLY MY HEROES.

Please be sure to BOOK A RESERVATION AT NINE STEAKHOUSE the next time you are in Vegas!  http://www.n9negroup.com/#/n9ne/main/

From there, we went to GHOST BAR (SUPER FUN, GREAT VIEWS OF THE CITY) & danced, played, had a blast.  Then we moved on to the Playboy Club and danced the night away.

To book a stay at the Palms Casino, click here.

*****************************

Here is a video of the highlights of our trip!  It’s mostly the highlights according to Ms. Cheevious – but hey – this is MY blog! HA HA HA HA!!!

If you were wondering – the other clients in attendance were Bogey & Bacall.  You’ll have to check my 2nd About Page to get a clue though!


If you can’t see this in your email (for you subscribers), here is the youtube link. It’s FUN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ezXDVyGrJA

There you have it! Stay tuned for more fun, videos, life and… ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT.

Love you people!!!!  Mmmmmmphhhuuuhhhhhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
