I've decided to name this weekly cakes, cupcakes & other goodies feature 'Let Them Eat Cake'. Which works perfectly because Marie Antoinette is one of my favorite movies. I love that saying, even though she didn't actually say it. It sounds like something I would say. "Oh, there's no bread? Well, let's have cake, then!"
I originally intended this week's post to be Marie Antoinette inspired cakes and cupcakes. But then I found all these gorgeous screen shots of all the pastries and delicious things from the Marie Antoinette movie. It's one of my favorite movies visually. The clothes, the cakes, the colors. Just look at all this deliciousness.
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp;
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;

7. Cuts of Meat Dress
Find it here on Etsy.
She also has it in two other dress styles. I am so tempted, but I think over $50 for a jersey dress is too much. Even though it is amazing.
8. Drunk History
These are hilarious! Really, really drunk people tell the story of an historical event and famous actors dress up in really bad historical costumes and re-enact the story, lip-syncing to the drunk person's words, hiccups and all.
I want to start doing similar videos, but instead of historical stories (Because who actually knows or cares about history? No one I know!) I was thinking of having them tell stories of movies, fairy tales, books, or other stories. I'm not sure I would do the re-enactments with the lip-syncing like they do, but maybe I could use the movie clips if it's a movie. Well, we'll see if I can get some drunk people to tell me stories first.
9. Cooking Mama
I played Cooking Mama a few years ago on a friend's Nintendo DS and loved it. The other day I downloaded it for my iPhone. It's just a really simple game; you chop, peel, mix, etc. to make a recipe. I was playing it and had to rip of a shrimp's head and take off it's skin (or is it a shell?) and I tweeted "I want a vegan Cooking Mama game. I feel bad ripping off the heads of virtual shrimp." My lovely vegan friend, Monica, saw that on my Facebook and gave me the link to this:
It's horrific and amazing at the same time. You have to rip the feathers off the turkey then kill it. And it makes sad painful sounds while you do. Try it out, and think about what animals go through before they're killed the next time you eat an animal.
