Clark's Magic Steps: update

Two lovely bloggers have pointed me in the right direction to find the advert for Clark's Magic Steps…

Next step: finding a pair on eBay.

Heartwarmer: US soldier asks Mila Kunis for a date on YouTube - she says yes

Mila Kunis, one of the sexiest actresses in the world, is going on a date with a soldier serving in Afghanistan – after he asked her out via YouTube.

She'll accompany US Marine Sgt. Scotty Moore to a military ball in North Carolina in November when he gets back from Afghanistan.

In the video, the marine says, "Hey Mila, this is Sergeant Moore, but you can call me Scott. I just want to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps Ball on November 18 in Greenville, N.C., with yours truly."

Surely this is what YouTube was invented for; the low-level badgering of celebs. If I was cynical I would say, yes, go Mila, you've just netted yourself money-can't buy promotion of you latest rather mediocre film, but as she's made this guy's dream come true (especially if he gets to tit her up in the taxi home), I'll let it lie.

Anyway, it's ex-boyfriend Macauly Culkin I feel sorry for; though he is used to sitting Home Alone

Clarks Magic Steps

My last post has brought back memories of the immensely epic shoes known as Clarks Magic Steps.

Unfortunately, they seem to have vanished off the face of the internet, and I can only find the following pictures, but alas, no advert for them on YouTube.

The shoes came in a whimsical box, along with a 'magic key' which doubled up as a brooch. the key, in later models, was used to turn a lock at the bottom of the shoe, revealing hidden pictures under a plexiglass covering.

So precious was my key that I kept it hidden in the garden under a strip of turf, guarded fiercely by my pet snail 'Cheeky'.

This next one was a real find, for you can see the key hole detail in the sole of the shoe…

My mum would never let me get a white (or pink, dare I say it came in pink?) pair because I'd 'only scuff them'. Which actually brings me on to another point; how exactly does one scuff their shoes? I haven't done so for years. Apart from when I drunkenly fell off a pavement, but I can't imagine I did much of that at seven-years-old.

From what I remember of the advert, an ordinary girl becomes a princess upon purchasing a pair of Clarks Magic Steps and has to save some pixies/rabbits/elves/whatever from an evil witch. The advert involves a lot of running through a forest and tinkly music.

She possibly fell through a mirror, or used the key to unlock a door. I could be getting this confused with an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark.

The highlight of the advert was the bemused girl exclaiming "Magic Shoooooooez?" right at the start.

If anyone can find the Clarks Magic Steps advert online I shall bestow upon them their weight in Wagon Wheels, Orange Clubs and Umbungo juice drinks.

Ferris Bueller, as edited by Sofia Coppola

Youtube user Joesephsbrett recut Ferris Bueller as though it was a coming of age Indie flick.

I always thought that Ferris was a massive douche in this film. But then again, I always thought that this film starred Jennifer Aniston and the kid from the Wonder years, so what do I know.

"It's ballet - I'm gay and I don't even care!"

The Black Swan could have been oh so different had Nina been in possession of a Sassy Gay Friend. At least, according to mildly hilarious the Brian Gallivan aka YouTube's Sassy Gay Friend.




Other gems from his tiara…

"Ophelia, he stabbed your dad through a curtain…"



"My friend from New York City got left at the alter. She went to Mexico her three best girlfriends. She didn't wear the wear the ugly headpiece with the weird blue feather for the rest of her life…"



"Othello thinks that your fingers have been all over Cassio's keyboard, so we gotta go…"



"This is a set up. You don't realise this because your brain is made out of rib…"



Thinking of all the things I could have avoided had I happened to have a Sassy Gay Friend. Like carrot pants. And cutting my own fringe.
