Now if you can't tell from now- this blog is based around E.
L. James Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades
Freed- I am going to start with “Grey" and move forward. If you haven't
read the book yet… you might not want to read and come back later. I will be
taking excerpts from the books, posting songs from the books, and my own
thoughts and photos about things to come. Now if you have no interest in the books and
you just want to know about me…follow me… and my brain- well that is very “stalker”
like of you and flattering at the same time.
I am making this open to speak your mind and to answer my questions- so
let’s begin…
Chapter one- I didn’t know what to expect when I first
opened the cover of this book. I have heard rumors of it being controversial-the
SNL skit http://www.celebritypop.com/2012/05/06/video-watch-the-snl-fifty-shades-of-grey-skit/
(hysterical if you didn’t see it). How young adults shouldn’t be reading this “porn”
and immediately I formed my opinion and couldn’t wait to jump right in. They
start off explaining the character of Anastasia Steele- shy awkward innocent
young girl- who doesn’t know she is beautiful. Graduating collage and embarking on the world-
the description the writer uses in great detail. “Ana” is mad that her roommate Katherine Kavanagh,
she is sick and is making her cover her scoop to interview billionaire
Christian Grey for the last article for the collage newspaper. She doesn’t even
work for the paper- but she is helping out her friend. Katherine is described as
the opposite of Ana- very dedicated , super aggressive , gorgeous and always
knowing how to get what she wants( my kind of gal)-
I don’t know about
anyone else but from the minute I read the first paragraph I thought Ana as “whiny” ? Thoughts….
I scowl with
frustration at myself in the mirror. Damn my hair – it just won’t behave, and
damn Katherine Kavanagh for being ill and subjecting me to this ordeal. I
should be studying for my final exams, which are next week, yet here I am
trying to brush my hair into submission. I must not sleep with it wet. I must
not sleep with it wet. Reciting this mantra several times, I attempt, once
more, to bring it under control with the brush.
Enough with the hair… we all have bad hair days- I can see
her basically ripping out her hair with each wisp of the brush- OK.. Sooo I’ve
been there before not wanting to do something for a friend even though I do anyway! Moving on…As she whines a little more she is
leaving to drive into Seattle to interview Christine Grey – CEO @ Grey Enterprises
Holdings/ Self-made billionaire . Now Ana doesn’t really know too much about
him – and he is nothing what she expected upon meeting. Young,
handsome, intelligent, business-savvy, and charming, he at first glance appears
to be a suave but upon talking to him he is a dick actually.
“Business is all about
people, Miss Steele, and I’m very good at judging people. I know how they tick,
what makes them flourish, what doesn’t, what inspires them, and how to
incentivize them. I employ an exceptional team, and I reward them well.” He
pauses and fixes me with his gray stare.
Just seems a bit much upon arrival. And I will say the
clumsy girl fall into the office was a little much for me. A little “Bella Swan” like if I may. I almost
stopped reading that this point- I was expecting SEX thrown in my face! My opinions
formed remember- reading the boring interview portion I was trying not to...But
my eyes skipping a few lines down waiting to read how he swept her up and had
her right there on the desk!! As we know, that didn’t happen. Ana’s roommate Kate a list of questions that
I thought a little inappropriate- HELLO!? He is this huge donor to your school…and
you ask if he is Gay? The writer makes you feel Ana’s embarrassment – but at
the same token – she isn’t Ron Burgundy who has to read everything off the teleprompter! Just saying…The tension or electrical spark
between them is awesome. Described annoyingly to the point as you read your
jealous- or make you think back to when you have ever experienced that before or currently-
Christine with his blazing eyes…Ana
biting her lip-
Why does he have such
an unnerving effect on me? His overwhelming good-looks maybe? The way his eyes
blaze at me? The way he strokes his index finger against his lower lip? I wish
he’d stop doing that.
Let’s stop and discuss a few moments here- have you ever met
somewhere that was just too pretty to describe? You just melt at the slightest
smile? I’ve had a few of these moments myself.
I was on a beach – 12 maybe… and this guy was running. He was a lot
older than me but just his thick strong legs flexing… chest so sleek ..sweat dripping ...and
strong..my heavens ...his face and body of a Greek God!!! And
even though the smile he gave me was kind – at the time I thought I was in love…ha-ha! That was possibly the first time how much I
realized I was going to be quite the “curious” teenager. Yes “ Curious”( good word - for now) we will stop there…
