J'Adore: That Lovin' Feeeeeling

There was NOTHING on tv last night. And I mean nothing (two irish ladies in puffy dresses singing Celtic folk songs anyone?). We don't have cable so our tv watching is relegated to reruns and baaaad tv. And last night I was desperate for something to watch.  For a moment I did considered suffering through those two ladies in their puffy dresses. That was before I stumbled upon one of my favorite movies, TOP GUN!

Yes this movie is all cheese. And I love every minute of it. Raging electric guitar, 80's wash jeans, frizzy hair and awesome lines like "I feel the need, the need for speed!" It's what great movies are made of;)  Even my nickname is Top Gun related. Goosie, aka Goose, given to my by my best friend, because after all I am her wingman, er woman.

So if you need a few minutes of electric guitar, men in uniform and a very young Tom Cruise to help you get through this dreary day, click below. You don't want to miss that lovin' feeling!

J'Adore: So You Think You Can Dance

Wednesday nights during the summer are a sacred time in the Parker household. Why? Well because it's So You Think You Can Dance night!! Every summer since this show aired I've been a dedicated fan, loving every minute of each choreographed hour. Perhaps it's the fact that I danced until I was 13 or the fact that music has been such a huge part of my life since I was born. Either way, this show, just speaks to me.

Dance speaks to my soul. I find pure expression through movement set to music, there is just something so special about these two things put together.

So it's not surprise that I just love So You Think You Can Dance, my weekly summer escape. Here's my all time favorite routine from the show's 8 seasons. Enjoy and take some time today to just let go and dance. (Like no one is watching of course:))
