So we all have a movie or musician or book or SOMETHING out there that we wouldn’t want many people to know that we love. And today I’d love it if you fess up. I’ll tell you mine

Here it is. I effing love the movie Robin Hood. What people call the ‘cheesy ass’ version with Kevin Costner from 1991. Maybe it was because I was in middle school when it came out, and it was my first ‘historical’ experience, but I was hooked. I think it began my fascination with England and that time period. And I’ve gotta say, I’m a little skeptical of this NEW Robin Hood coming out this summer with Russell Crowe. Seriously, can’t people make a new movie instead of redoing ones that have already been done? And they’re redoing Romancing the Stone–another classic. Anyway, that’s a whole different rant/topic!

So not only that, but I also loved the cheesy ass song that went along with 1991 Robin Hood: Everything I do, I do it for you by Bryan Adams.

And if you’d like to relive this song (and the terribly fabulous 90’s clothes the band is wearing) and see scenes from the movie, click here. I would’ve pasted the video in, but embedding has been disabled

All right. Now you spill! What’s your guilty pleasure movie/band/song/book/etc.

Hi, all! Glad to be back blogging (and I very much suck for missing my day a couple weeks ago!) To make it up to you, I’ll give away a copy of my latest release Four Play (oops, did I mention you need to like it hot?) to one randomly drawn commenter. Winner will be drawn Sunday morning.

Okay, I’m a writer, and so that means I tend to favor comfy pants when I’m writing. Yoga pants, sweat pants, even pajamas. I’m a big advocate of comfort. Comfortable shoes. Comfortable clothes. I’m also a fan of the Snuggie. You get the picture. So when I saw a friend post on Facebook a link to the below video, I watched in fascination. Like OMFG where have they BEEN all my life fascination? Could I do it? Actually wear them and actually take myself seriously?

Or better yet, could you? (they have plus sizes too!!!)

It’s the most wonderful time…to drink beer. Yes, I sometimes sing beer instead of year, but the kid is picking up on it. So I gotta be careful!

Hi, again! I’m Shelli Stevens, and I’m back blogging at the Bradford Bunch. Only this time I’m a new addition here! Yay! What a fun blog to be a part of.

It’s the holidays and you’re either loving every minute of it or counting the days until it’s over. Or I suppose you could be in that middle ground. Can you guess which side I fall on? I’m all about the holidays.

I start the holiday music playing mid-November. In fact, I don’t allow anything except holiday music or movies in my house until after the holidays (yes, I’m a wee bit obsessive!). I even have a holiday playlist that I workout to on the elliptical for an hour–finding an hour’s worth of high energy holiday music was a challenge!

Now I’m going to talk about holiday movies. What’s a must and what’s a miss on your list?

Now, I know many out there would probably rattle off It’s a Wonderful Life as their fave. Me? Not so much. I mean it’s fabulous and all, but once I’ve seen it, why go through the tears again?

Though sometimes I don’t mind the tears. And one of my favorite holiday movies (though it’s not totally holiday) is Love Actually. And, really, this is my favorite movie of all time. It makes me cry and laugh and hope… it’s just fabulous, showing all sides of love, not just the obvious one. If you haven’t seen it, definitely put it on your list.

But my other staple, because I just love to laugh, is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

Share with me your favorite holiday movie. And since I’m officially new here I’ll throw an impromptu contest. Out of the commenters I’ll draw a name tomorrow and the winner can have any of my ebooks off my backlist (I’d say print, but I’m not going ANYWHERE near the post office right now! )
