all hail the british

The Royal Baby is finally here! I’ve been anxiously awaiting the birth of the future ruler of England along with the rest of the world. I'm obsessed with William and Kate and have been tracking their relationship since they first started dating in 2003 (yes, I know I was extremely young, but what can I say?) The LifeTime movie based on their relationship is my go-to movie and I could watch it over and over without getting even slightly bored.

I’ve followed every step of Kate's pregnancy from her maternity clothes to which hospital the newborn was going to be delivered at. So no surprise that I was jumping with joy when I found out that their baby boy had been born. There’s not much to report on the baby except for that he’s healthy and adorable and royal, of course, so I’ve decided to dedicate this post to England in general. Although I’ve never been to England, I plan to go sometime in the future and I am a huge fan of all that the country has to offer. The list of my favorite people from England could go on for pages, but I’m going to keep it relatively short for your sake!

David & Victoria Beckham

Not only are they probably the hottest couple to ever live, they both are extremely talented. David Beckham is internationally renowned football (or soccer) player. Even though he's recently retired, his career was outstanding and he was the first English player to win league titles in four different countries. His wife, Victoria Beckham, or formally known as Posh Spice is an international legend without the help of her husband. Not only was she one of the Spice Girls, which as a 90's child myself is the coolest girl group in the world, but she's a fashion & style icon as well. On top of all of this, the Beckham's have the world's best-looking  children with the coolest names (Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz & Harper).

Cara Delevigne

Cara Delevigne is my dream best friend. Not only is she stunningly beautiful (she's my woman crush), but she's hilarious as well. Cara is a huge social media junkie and isn't afraid to show her fans and the world just how quirky she is. She posted a photo on Instagram not to long ago with bird poop on her face after a pigeon pooped on her. Videos of her on YouTube have her joking around with friends and making funny faces. She's made being a supermodel into something cool and fun rather than scary and intimidating. The fact that she's 20 and hasn't let the fame and fortune get to her is something admirable. She's best friends with Rihanna, which is brownie points for her as well! 

Cara being silly :P

   One Direction

I don't care if you think it's embarrassing that I love One Direction because I do. Not only do I think they're adorable, but they're really talented. I know that Niall is from Ireland, but 4/5 of them are from England so whatever. These boys don't pretend to be something they're not, which I really like about them. They party, swear and say inappropriate things just like normal teens. A lot of teen stars in America get slack for not being perfect role models, but One Direction definitely embraces the fact that they're young and famous and they just have fun with it! Not to mention the fact that they're all extremely cute and I would date any one of them!!

Alexander McQueen

Must I say anymore than the name itself? Alexander McQueen is the founder of the fantastically fabulous brand by the same name. Although I doubt I could even afford an inch of one of his pieces, they're still iconic and I get a thrill out of every season's latest pieces.

Elton John 
Elton John is one of my favorite artists out there. I rented a "Best of Elton John" CD from the library when I was younger and downloaded it onto my computer and ever since then I've been hooked. His voice, lyrics and musical compositions are beautiful and catchy all in one. His songs are the only "oldies" that I willingly allow my mom to play in the car when we are driving together. Oh, and he's also a Sir which just makes him ten times cooler.

twerk it out

If you don't know what twerking is... oh boy are you in for a treat. Twerking is a type of dance. There's not an easy way to describe the dance move because it involves in extremely fast thrusting of the hips and shaking of the butt in every direction. I'm not sure who started the twerking trend or how it boomed into popularity, but now that it's here, it's here to stay! 

I knew about twerking because most people under the age of 25 know what twerking is. But by no means could I actually twerk. I tried to learn one night at a party with my friends, but looked like I was humping the air so I decided to call it quits. That is until I was on Vine the other night. 

My nightly ritual before I go to bed is to go on Vine (it's an app that allows users to create short, multi-scene videos). I always end up stumbling upon really funny users and stalking all of their previous videos. Two nights ago I came across the Vine user Terrell Cabral. He's a teenage boy who has a phenomenal talent for twerking. Him and his best friend Carlos Andrade (also a Vine user) have amazing videos of them dancing and twerking their asses off. I was seriously amazed by them! So I wrote #twerk in the Vine search engine and watched about an hours worth of short clips of being twerking. I was insanely jealous. Why can't my butt move and shake like that!? 

So tonight I enlisted my dad to help me learn how to twerk. Of course he kept pronouncing twerk incorrectly (saying torque instead) and thought I was going to break a bone attempting to wiggle like that. But since he can never say no to me (mwahahah), he agreed to watch YouTube videos to help teach me how to learn. We watched 3 videos and then it was time to  practice for real. He had decided to join in on the fun since he was intrigued with the whole thing. I think I improved minimally from my last attempt, but they say practice makes perfect, right?! I'm going to keep practicing the rest of the summer so hopefully by the time school starts, I can whip out my ass-jiggling new dance move at a frat party :)
