Tag: Camila Mendes

Here is Camila Mendes because Riverdale and yadda yadda yadda.  I had more to say and could get into a lot of stuff but the day has slipped away and to be frank there is something more important going on right now. So I am just going to note that I think she is ridiculously pretty and I really like her a lot. Today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.

In fairness I knew there was a really good chance I’d be making a post about a Riverdale cast member this weekend because I knew the CW shows were getting panels at Comic Con and I knew it would mean the rare instance of the stars of the shows having pictures surface online.  And well, here is Camila Mendes because she is remarkably beautiful.  Obviously everyone has their preference, I mean Betty or Veronica has been a debate since before I was born, but I think she is just gorgeous and the person on the show I am most attracted to.  And so here she is.  It’s pretty simple.  I hope the second season is good.  Today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.

I haven’t even watched last night’s Riverdale yet cause my DVR failed like a stupid jerk.  But, I am posting Camila Mendes cause a new photoshoot of her came out yesterday and holy fuck she is so hot.  Like, she is just smoking hot guys.  So it’s that simple, I am posting her because she’s hot.  Sorry I don’t have a more interesting discourse but just look at her.  Today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.

Riverdale was back again last night and that means that today I am once again searching around for some pictures of Camila Mendes I haven’t posted before. You know, this show seems to be a hit from what I can tell, maybe it’s time to start inviting all the people on it to events so that my life is a little easier Hollywood.  I feel like I should have thoughts and feelings about the show but I am really tired so instead I will just point out how ridiculously pretty Camila Mendes is and call it a day.  She is ridiculously pretty.  Today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.

Two things stood out last night watching Riverdale.  First, as I was watching Riverdale last night it struck me again that the reason I like this show so much is that while it hems to the “OH SHIT!” style of story telling that CW loves where crazy, batshit plot twists happen all the time, it is at it’s core mainly about good people.  Especially good kids.  Their motivations are pure.  They generally want to help their friends and family and just do the right thing.  Which shouldn’t be notable but is rare in shows.  I have often said that one of the reasons teen dramas work but cease to work when the kids get out of high school is there is a level of histrionics and shitty behavior we accept in teenagers that we don’t in adults.  I remember being 16 and feeling like everything that happened was the most important thing ever and would probably be ruin my life if it went wrong.  I remember being kind of a shithead because I was so desperate for acceptance and driven by things deep in my body I didn’t understand and wasn’t comfortable with.  When a 26 year old portrays the same behaviors you don’t understand it because that person is a monster.  Grow the fuck up.  So, you know, our teen dramas are often over the top but the thing about Riverdale is while the plot is indeed over the top (and some of the adults are monsters) the kids are alright.  They are reasonable and good.  The moment that really stood out to me was when Archie shows up at Polly’s baby shower ready to get into a huge fight with Jughead and Veronica just comes over and tells him to shut up, this is Polly’s day.  Go away right now, deal with it somewhere else.  And she doesn’t do this in a big scene, she says it quietly, just to them.  And then they say she’s right and agree.  Also then later they just rationally talk to each other and apologize about their part in their little falling out.  This is notable because this is how actual rational human beings act.  And you may no someone who doesn’t, who would make a giant scene there, be it someone in Veronica’s place or Archie’s place.  But you might know that person.  Get the fuck away from that person.  If you are young enough to still have those people in your life the best advice I can give you is to get the fuck away.  This person is a drama queen and they will paint themselves as a victim.  If you get away from themselves they will claim you are a monster for abandoning them.  This is because you are not a person to them.  No one is.  People exist only as object in the little drama that is their life.  You exist as either a facilitator or obstacle to their happiness and glory.  But you do not exist as a person whose thoughts, feelings, or opinions matter in any way other than how they make this drama queen’s life more epic for them to share with everyone and soak in that attention they crave.  I bring this up because it is what I think really has me repeatedly coming back to Riverdale.  A lot of our perceptions on reality are painted by the media we consume, which is pretty fucking stupid because my opinion on teenagers shouldn’t be impacted by what scheme Chuck Bass is involved in or what shitty thing Pacey did.  And you know, I try to be reasonable but we absorb stuff.  And as I get older I find there are just many, many people my age who rail against the kids because people become the same assholes every previous generation was as they mourn for their lost youth by lashing out at those who still have it.  So I guess what I am saying is I really appreciate some balance.  I honestly like any show that reveals you can have a show about decent people and it can still be exciting.  Not everyone needs to be a selfish egoist for a show to be good.  It was a big part of why I liked Friday Night Lights.  People are interesting, it’s ok to show us good people and just study them.  So… yeah, I like my little batshit show that also manages to not make the characters monsters.  Anyway, that was the first thing that caught my attention. The second thing that stood out as I was watching was that holy crap, Camila Mendes is so hot.  She is just so good looking.  Now, for the first point you’ll have to watch the show but I have conveniently provided proof to the second point here in this post.  You’re welcome.  Today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.

So today we will get a preemptive Riverdale post because… look, I probably will be way into Camila Mendes in the episode and I’ll probably love how totally nuts and awesome the show is.  So why not get it in now, ahead of time?  I used to do this all the time, excitement for a show airing already putting someone in my head but it has happened a lot less recently.  Part of that has to be my TV viewing habits.  It’s so strange to think that so many of us used to sort of schedule our lives around TV.  I don’t remember blowing people off to watch Seinfeld and Friends on Thursday nights in High School, because you know, it was High School, you aren’t really going out Thursday nights.  But I also just kind of knew in the back of my head my night would involve me getting home from practice, doing homework and then heading downstairs to watch TV.  It’s almost nice to be excited enough about a show to at least at the moment plan to watch it when it airs.  Or right after.  My DVR is a butthead sometimes and doesn’t cooperate when I am recording stuff and watching it.  I can’t imagine any of you care.  My point is Camila Mendes is beautiful and so today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.

It’s the weekend, which of course means I am caught up with Riverdale and this week on Riverdale we learned that Betty’s parents are the greatest monsters in human history.  Seriously, it’s the Coopers, Hitler, Pol Pot, and those people who are in line and somehow don’t even think to look at the menu board until it’s their turn to order and then seem to think that everyone is there to wait on them instead of doing the polite thing and stepping aside to let others order until they have decided.  Betty’s parents are horrible and I hope the show doesn’t soften them much not because I want poor Betty to be miserable but because I think the show did some solid subtle work on the abusive nature of the Archie-Grundy thing and it’s important to point out sometimes parents are bad parents.  And they aren’t doing it because they love you so much or because they’d do anything for you, they’re doing it because they are shitty people who should not be allowed to raise children.  You know, it would be good if media meant for younger people (and people with severe cases of arrested development like me) had that message once in a while.  Anyway, that was probably the biggest reveal of the week but the second biggest for me was Veronica wearing cat ears.  This was a thing.  It turns out that as good as Camila Mendes looks in pearls and pencil skirts it turns out she looks even better in cat ears.  And I’ll be honest, deep down I’ve  secretly holding out for the classic Josie and the Pussy Cats costumes from the reruns of my youth (also, I can’t be the only one who would love to hear a rendition of the old theme song by the current incarnation of the band, right).  I can’t be the only one who thought Melody was hot in the cartoon when I was 5.  Right?  Anyone? I mean, long tails and ears for hats? Whatever. Look, what I didn’t ever imagine was Veronica Lodge in one of the Pussycats’ outfits.  Turns out it was what I wanted all along.  So thumbs up, CW, as long as you are fulfilling wishes maybe more publicity shots of your stars so I have more to choose some (or anything for your stars of color, they are like not on the Internet at all). Anyway, Camila Mendes looked great.  She is just stupid hot.  Today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.

I should probably be posting something from one of the various awards going on this weekend but I am not.  In part cause I slept all morning and was awake at various parts of the night and man, I am a mess.  Just a mess.  Anyway, I caught up on Riverdale and I was pretty critical of the show after the pilot and still have my issues but am warming up to it.  I didn’t really want a dark re-imagining of the Archie universe because one of the best things about Archie is that it is a bunch of light, funny comics about a bunch of teenagers that has run for 70 plus years and has never taken a negative view of the youth of America.  They are largely good kids.  I didn’t want to see a take about the kids getting their sick and twisted kicks and it sure looked like we were in for that (the pilot pulls out the hoariest of hoary cliches by having a male student fuck his teacher.  This never leads to interesting stories and somehow it is never addressed that this makes the teacher a rapist and shouldn’t that scare us all?) But at this point I am warming up and in part because it seems like they are all decent kids.  Too many secrets that make me roll my eyes but these aren’t terrible people thus far.  Which is nice because I have always been team Veronica but you don’t really need a team.  Betty and Veronica have been rivals at points but always friends.  Which is, in my opinion, a relief and something that isn’t addressed often enough as a fantastic thing about the comics.  So why am I team Veronica?  Because Betty would probably be a better girlfriend in every way, is a wholly decent and good person but uh… Veronica is vaguely dismissive and too good for everyone and that’s kind of hot.  Basically because I am an idiot.  Anyway, Camila Mendes plays Veronica on the new show and among the issues I had with the pilot was the lines they shoved in her mouth that no human being could say convincingly.  It lead to what felt like a bad Blair Waldorf impression.  But that has goes away already and I am back to adoring Veronica.  And I am liking Camila Mendes take so far.  And is anyone still reading?  Who cares this much about Archie besides me?  No one.  Well, one guy.  I worked with one guy who was full on obsessed and used to buy those digests at the grocery store all the time and read him during break when we were in high school.  So some dude named Eric cares.  And I care.  Today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.
