You're Going Places, Baby! Award and Love The Way You Lie Music Video

Happy Sunday, my dear friends! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. :D

I will be giving away the "You're going places, Baby" award! Special thanks to Cafe Bellini for giving me this award. I hope you have a wonderful time in the south of France! :)

Rules:

Thank the person who gave you this award. Get the award icon. Share with us where you see yourself in ten years. Pass on the award.

In ten years, I will be 30 years old. I hope that by that time I will be established in my chosen career, be happily married, have a healthy and cute baby (or two), and live in a beautiful home - starting out with a new chapter in my life. But, of course, before that, I plan to enjoy my twenties - travel, work, explore, have fun, do everything that I want to do - so that by that time, I will be completely ready to be a wife and mom. :D

I pass this award on to these lovely ladies:


I am sure all of us are going places, so really, this award is for everyone. Tell us where you see yourself in ten years. :D

In another note, have you seen the official music video of Eminem and Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie? Here it is:

Many are not too happy about the message of this video. I can understand that sentiment. As a whole, I thought the video is creative and well-made - it feels like I'm watching a movie or a TV show (because Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan are in it, haha), BUT I really wish Megan Fox's character left at the end of the video to show that women (and men, too) should stand up and find the courage to leave an abusive relationship. And I also agree that the video is too violent for younger teens. What do you think?

  1. I just watched the video and I must say, I really thought it was good! It is definitely inappropriate for younger viewers, but then again I think most of Eminem's music is. Overall, great song though! Rihanna and Eminem mesh well together.

  4. I like the video! Pretty violent though, I feel like it is very autobiographical for Rihanna. And that may be the very first time where I have ever considered Dominic Monaghan to be hot!

  8. A bit too much violence for me but if it gets the message across to women in abusive relationships, it'll be worth it

  10. I saw the video, if it's getting the point across about how disturbing and awful domestic violence is then it's worth it, IMO.

  14. Congratulations on the award, my love - so well-deserved!

    Personally, I am in love with that Eminem song. The video, I feel, is simply a true portrayal of an abusive relationship. Some may consider it too violent for younger teens; however, I don't feel that it is any more violent than so many of the shows on TV nowadays. While it would have been nice to see Megan leave in the end; in abusive relationships, it sometimes takes years for the woman to leave - if ever; therefore, I think it was accurate. If not a bit disturbing. :/

  20. Congratulations with the award! I actually really like this video. Just because i think it's really powerful although I do agree that it's pretty violent for younger viewers. And in a weird way, I really think Megan Fox looks pretty in the video. hahaha.

  23. It has been so long since I've watched a video and I have to say, I liked it a lot. They were both pretty abusive and dysfunctional, but it went well with the song. I like videos where it seems like a movie.
