Inspiring: Selma Blair

White After Labor Day
Selma Blair

Catching Selma Blair out and about and all smiles at the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles made me feel inspired, not to mention I smiled along with her.

Selma who starred in two of my favorite movies Cruel Intentions & The Sweetest Thing as you may or may not know has Multiple Sclerosis. While I am not in as a tough predicament as Selma I have been basically out of commission for two months and it is coming to an end, soon.

One of the things that always inspired me when I was feeling a little down was checking out Selma's posts on her Instagram page. "Yes" I follow her on there and you should too.

No matter what kind of a day she is having Ms. Blair always manages to find the humor, hope & love in every situation that is thrown at her by this terrible affliction. Her daily posts really put things in perspective. Not only is she an inspiration to others with MS, she is an inspiration to all of us to live our best lives.

Selma has set that bar really high, thus your mission today is to grab life by the ______ the blank is yours to fill in, and not let go!!!

Cruel Tuesday

Cruel Intention
Sarah Michelle Gellar

Kathryn Merteuil: Unfortunately, our Don Juan is moving with the speed of a Special Olympics hurdler.

One of my favorite movies of the 90's is Cruel Intentions. It is based on Les Liaisons dangereuses. It captured mean teens unlike anything around at the time and it became a hit and an enduring classic.

Whilst hitting the WWW this ayem I came across a piece featuring factoids about the movie, ya know, behind the scenes stuff.

Today's Cruel Tuesday fact is about the film's star Sarah Michelle Gellar - source E!Online.

DYE JOB

One of Hollywood's hottest blondes thanks to her star-making turn as Buffy Summers on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gellar wanted to separate herself from the popular WB series when it came to the seductive and devious Kathryn. 

"That was Sarah's thing: 'I don't want to look like Buffy'" Kumble recalled. 

But it was more than just the hair change that helped Gellar, who grew up on the Upper East Side herself, deliver such a stellar performance, as she really was able to embrace the debauchery of the character without wanting to make her sympathetic. 

"We had long talks about her history. Roger used to always say, ‘Don't you think that she was abused?'" she told Premiere magazine in 1999. "And I'd say, 'No, I think she had a perfect upbringing. I think her mother adored her and her father sent her amazing gifts. She just wanted more."

Looking back on the experience, Gellar revealed to The Huffington Post that Cruel Intentions was one of her two "best film experiences," explaining, "We just knew we were making something that was so different and we were all so passionate and so excited. And we were all friends! It was just such a great time making that and letting it go as far as it did."

There was one aspect of playing the "Marcia f--king Brady of the Upper East Side" that Gellar did not love: "Although, the ground-up chamomile, the substitute I used for coke was not fun. I have allergies and since chamomile is kind of pollen-like, my nose and throat had it rough for a while."

"I'm The F#cking Marcia Brady Of The Upper East Side"

Blonde, Brown, Buffy, Kathryn !
Sarah Michelle Gellar 

"And sometimes I want to kill myself" - Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kathryn Merteuil, Cruel Intentions 1999

Do you remember the movie Cruel Intentions? Well I sure do! This will always remain one of my favorites! I've seen it like 10 + fucking times! Hey, who has never felt like that about this classic? If your answer is no, you lie!

So, in case you haven't heard SMG is back as KM = Sarah Michelle Gellar is back as Kathryn Merteuil in the TV series based on the iconic film. The Title? Duh, Cruel Intentions. 

Hey, who else was going to do it?! Ryan Phillippe's character be dead. Reese Witherspoon, well you know she ain't got time for that noise! However if they want to bring back Selma Blair for some more girl on girl tongue action...

Yeah, I bet you are all like myself, down with that!

"Brown Hair, don't care" 

Sarah Michelle rulz!

Now if she would only revisit the character of Buffy from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jackpot!

Buffy & Willow 2015

A Buffy Reunion: Alyson Hannigan & Sarah Michelle Gellar

T.G.I.F Peeps!

Recently photos of Sarah Michelle Gellar & Alyson Hannigan reuniting in 2015 went viral.

As a Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan I was all a Twitter, ahem, so to speak.

In what appears to be a children's party or just a fun hang the twosome captured the moment and shared it with fans of the show.

Although I have loved them in other things, notably Gellar in Cruel Intentions and Hannigan in American Pie. Nothing will ever top Buffy.

Thanks for being such givers Sarah & Alyson.

Have a terrific weekend everyone...!

Sarah Michelle Gellar Has "Cruel Intentions"

One of my favorite movies ever is 1999's cult classic Cruel Intentions. Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Phillippe.

Based on the novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" by Choderlos de Laclos, written and directed by Roger Kumble.

It was the set where Ryan met Reese and they eventually married and got divorced, and Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair had one of the hottest girl on girl lip locks ever.

Cut to this past Friday, April 10th 2015 where: 

Cruel Intentions: The Completely Unauthorized Musical parody opened at Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles, CA.

Oh, guess who was front row and center?

Sarah Michelle Gallar herself who was joined by the film's original writer/director Roger Kumble and costar Sean Patrick Thomas. The group laughed, cheered and took photos from their seats, and after, Gellar rushed backstage to meet and praise her counterpart. 

                           
Oh, BTW that famous kiss scene with Selma Blair? In case you had any doubt ... it's part of the show (and they're even singing "Kiss Me" by The Cardigans as they do it). 

"It's so crazy. It was such a flood of memories. I don't necessarily think of it as me," Gellar stated. "But then they started talking, and I could feel the words coming out of my mouth!"
