Michelle Trachtenberg

So this might seem like a bit of a dumb thing to be blogging about but bare with me haha.... (this isn't a film review lol)
So when I was in year 4 of junior school, 1999, around 9 t0 10 years old I became obsessed with a film called Harriet the Spy. Everybody watched it? no? oh well lol 

This was first of many obsessions of mine lol, im known for being obsessed with films, actors, musicians. So a lot of my friends and family look back at my Harriet the Spy obsession and laugh because it was quite extreme for a 10 year old to be so taken in by a character.
I named my pet hamster harriet lol, i used to spy out of my letterbox! (seriously!) and once at school we had world book day...  we dress up as a book character for charity, so i bought Harriet the spy the book and dressed in a cool yellow coat and a belt full of gadgets lol, I looked like a complete idiot because no one new who I was supposed to be, but i didnt care at all... i always remember that day because I was finally able to be like Harriet the Spy without anyone caring because it was world book day lol!!

Me and my dad was shopping in Morrisons (supermarket)... and next to the till line there is always a basket full of old DVDs for like £2, i always look through there because sometimes I buy one, i found Donnie Darko in there last month =] and suddenly i found Harriet the Spy! I couldn't believe they had actually made it into a DVD! I showed my dad and he was like 'Oh my gooddd!' and bought it me for a keep sake and a memory of me as a kid (my dads like that lol) 

I only go to college twice a week... sometimes three times because a lot of my work is done at home so i have a lot of free time to watch different films whilst doing my work... so I put Harriet the Spy on when I was bored... and surprisingly enough I still enjoyed it! I thought I was gonna laugh the whole way through at how perfetic it was, but it wasn't. I decided to blog about it because I actually seriously think this film made me who I am today... or maybe thats not true maybe I loved it so much because when I was 10 years old deep down I always had this love for the media; for photography, films, and magazines. 

Harriet's notebook was 100% personal and she wrote what ever she wanted in there... when I first decided to start this blog thats exactly what I had in mind... I know its not 100% personal because all you guys are reading but I have honestly never told anyone I know about my blog (maybe just my lil cousin lol) because I wanted it to be totally me... without having to worry about who's reading.

'I want to see the whole world, and I want to write down everything'
'I want to remember everything. And I want to know everything.'

I 100% relate to these two quotes from Harriet in the movie... I do want to see the whole world... i do want to write down everything... i do want to remember everything... and i do want to know everything. Even though at the time I first watched this movie, I hadn't realised this yet.

So anyway... the interesting part lol! Michelle Trachrenberg is the actress who played Harriet in the movie, and coincidently she's becoming quite successful recently... especially with her new role in Gossip Girl and her new movie with Zac Efron!
I quite like her style as it is... but i'm 100% sure shes going to get noticed more for fashion now shes part of Gossip Girl.. i truly think shes amazingly beautiful so here are some pics =]
Photobucket
Your all going to think i'm mad lol! Even Stevens & Harriet the Spy! haha
PS - MILO VENTIMIGLIA IS IN ENGLAND! omg! I couldnt believe it when he showed up at the BAFTAS! I love him so much! I would have gone to london to find him if i had known! (seriously i met Zac Efron twice haha)

I loved Even Stevens--I was upset when it was nixed from the air.

Harriet The Spy is one of my favorite movies too!! I have the original DVD with the Rugrats movie preview on it and everything... I think I'm going to take the movie with me to school.

Seeker said...

Thank you for your words in my blog :)

I think writing is a good way of making us feel better, so we must keep it on real.

Never saw Harriet the Spy and also Gossip Girl doesn't show here :(
So I'm out of that.

K said...

that tea dress you linked me to is gorgeous! perfect for a wedding, because it is summery and not too over the top or showy. good choice! i've had to limit my internet shopping time because it just depresses me as i can't afford to buy anything new!

Secret Agent said...

I remember that movie. I watched that movie when I was younger too. It was a pretty good kid movie. I also used to watch Michelle on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It was funny because she was still so young and awkward. She's now...gorgeous. Her pale, creamy skin. Her height (she looks tall to me) and her style makes her one of my ideal ladies (as of now).

Jill said...

I never watched the movie, but I loved the book as a kid. I think Michelle T. is really pretty, love her shoes in the first picture.

Lola said...

i love all of her outfits!
especially the one with the gray ankle boots

hannah said...

Rebecca, A Clothes Horse said...

sparrowhawk said...

Lotem said...

I remember she was in a Disney Channel movie called Ice Princess. I hated it. But she was cute.
still, that picture of her skating around on the ice would always stay in my mind :)

I've added you to my blog roll :)

J.M. Powell said...

Carolina Lange said...

Linda said...

At first, I was iffy about Michelle on GG, but then I saw the previews, and she seems like she fits for the part. I'm very excited about tomorrow night's episode!

Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sneakers[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt sandals[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]mbt sneakers[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] closer look at these special shoes.

The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt sneakers[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]MBT[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt sandals[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]mbt shoes review[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes clearance[/URL][/B] work for some people.

More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]mbt sneakers[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]MBT shoes[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]MBT[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] on your lower joints.


Overall owners of the MBT shoe really like the results. [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] It is typical that if you walk for three or four miles at a time for several times [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] per week you will experience some weight loss. Some people are using them for every day [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] use and find that this helps to keep their legs toned and looking nice. These are just walking [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] shoes you really do not want to use them for running. It is recommended that you go to a store and try them on, as you [B]MBT[/B] want to make sure the heel is snug and fits correctly. If the shoes fit correctly they should feel snug and it should [B]buy mbt shoes[/B] feel as though you are walking on stilts when you walk in [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] them.

When we buy something, we are always [B][URL=http://www.pandoraforyou.com]pandora jewellery[/URL][/B] thinking that it had better never become devaluated. The one piece that never loses [U][B]tiffany earrings[/U][/B] its value is always what people want most. Sometimes, the one [B]pandora[/B] piece would raise its price [U][B]tiffany co[/U][/B] with the rise of money. Here is recommended the pieces that [B]pandora necklaces[/B] would always be treasured - Tiffany. The watches, bags, bracelets, necklaces. There will always be a classical piece in all the categories [U]pandora bracelet[/U] of Tiffany.

First comes to the tank watches which [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany[/URL][/B] are the favorite of a lot of people around the world. Of course, just like other [B]tiffany rings[/B] kinds of watches, Tiffany watches have both man and woman [U][B]pandora bracelets[/U][/B] style. No matter what kind of style [U]tiffany rings[/U] or color it is, the tank watch always has its classical features. The tank watch is called one [U][B]pandora necklaces[/U][/B] of the very important objects in the world.

The watches have the [B]pandora jewelry[/B] unique shape and "favored by all" watch bands. The mixture shape of geometry [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany[/URL][/B] and art gives the tank watch its lasting value. Women with the [U]tiffany bracelets[/U] watches look more professional and modern [U]tiffany co[/U] while men with the watch seem more [U]pandora bracelet[/U] approachable.


Besides the Tiffany bracelets and bags, something [U]pandora jewellery[/U] else from Tiffany is also among the piece to be treasured, from rings to bracelets, from necklaces to [B]tiffany bracelets[/B] brooches. Some of them might be relatively cheap while some [U][B]pandora beads[/U][/B] of them might be expensive. However, all of them are worth treasuring since [U][B]tiffany[/U][/B] they would never devaluate as a classical [B]pandora[/B] piece.
