In celebration of the ekindle book version release of Talli Rolland’s ‘Watching Willow Watts’, today I’m taking part in her websplash costume party! Deal is we all need to come as the person we’d always ‘admired, longed to impersonate, or just plain envied’.
Okay, so today I’m coming to her party as... (don’t laugh)...
Emmaline from the Blue Lagoon!
Hey! Keep yer hands off my coconut bikini:)
Okay, so why Emmaline? Well, let me think:
1. She’s tan, tall, gorgeous and perpetually 16.
2. She’s trapped on an island paradise.
3. With a major hottie who is madly in love with her.
4. And spends her days lying on the beach, making tropical flower wreathes, and eating seafood. ( *sigh* I love shellfish dammit!) She hasn’t the slightest care in the world.
What else could you want? Tell me, who would you be for a day if you could be anyone you want? And make sure to check out Talli's blog and find out more about her new release!
I chose several people... because I'm an absolute cheater but now I'm thinking about adding yours to the list as well!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Shallow but meets the basic necessities of life. Shallow is good sometimes. :) Just add a Kindle stocked with books and I'd be good to go.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I forgot about that one. Nice.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! You know, Blue Lagoon was the first "r" rated movie I ever saw. Love your choice. You made me smile!
ReplyDeleteWell I see you like Jane Austen so she's my choice for the day. Did you see the version of Blue Lagoon with Brooke Shields in it? Wondrous.
ReplyDeleteDenise
I can't believe I've never seen that movie! And look how young Brooke looks in that picture - wow! Great choice - I wouldn't mind eating shellfish and lying on the beach all day. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome choice! I think Blue Lagoon was my first R-rated movie as well! lol An endless supply of shellfish does sound tempting!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to be Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind. I was obsessed with Vivien Leigh... and the big, poofy dresses and the giant Southern plantations with the elaborate staircases, and of course, Rhett Butler.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you put it like that... :)
ReplyDeleteEating shrimp all the time would be awesome, but I would probably pass on the hot dude. Unless he did all the fishing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting choice! I haven't thought about the Blue Lagoon in a long time!!
ReplyDeleteHappy shrimp eating! :)
Great choice and reasons! Although I don't know if I would want to perpetually be 16. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this movie, putting it on my list to watch right now! What a dreamy existence that would be...
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! I remember me and my friends feeling most grown up going to the cinema all by ourselves to watch this cos it was meant to be taboo and very saucy!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteLove your choice!! Brilliant!! Take care

This is the third blog this morning participating and I still haven't come up an answer. I'd want to be a mix of several different people.
ReplyDeleteWow - interesting and unusual choice with great merit. Although, I'm thinking the coconut bikini might itch a bit!?
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Katie!
Trapped in paradise with a hottie and tons of seafood? It's good enough for me! Great choice, Katie!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous person to be and a great life.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it would be like making tropical flower wreaths all day long? Fun choice! He is a hotty.
ReplyDeleteNever saw that movie.
ReplyDeleteSo many choices. But for one day, I'd like to be Thursday Next from the series by Jasper Fforde. I'd love to meet all the characters of the great books "off page."
Sounds good - looks better;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL, what a great choice. I do the whole trapped on an island paradise with a major hottie thing too...
ReplyDeleteOh yes she was very pretty. And look who she got to kiss... Wow.
ReplyDeleteBlue Lagoon! Holy cow, I nearly forgot all about this movie. But yes, you made a most excellent choice. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to promote Talli's book, I'm enjoying the blog costume party going on :)
ReplyDeleteI like the bit where they get chased around the island by a giant crab. Hang on, that might be a different film.
ReplyDeleteGood choices! And thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI really loved the Blue Lagoon. Great choice! I was devastated in Return to the Blue Lagoon though when they began it by changing the ending of the first film. Still! Beautiful film.
ReplyDeleteMorning! thank's for stopping by my place.
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I read your bio - love it :-D
And I adore Talli -- hmmm, who would I want to be ... lawd! George Clooney's girlfriend? Aw, that's so cliched. Dang. Maybe someone who is patient and not self-indulgent like me. Oh! Or maybe a guy so I can sneak around in his brain and find out what is reaaaalllly going on in there! :-D
Great choice! I wish I could sit on the beach all day eating shellfish too. So unfair. ;)
ReplyDeleteI could definitely go for spending my days on the beach.
ReplyDeleteman!you mean we could use fictional character as well? I am so Scarlet O'Hara then. I would get bored on a beach with only one man no matter how hot he is!
ReplyDeleteFictional person for only one day.....that's tough. Carrie Bradshaw maybe!!
ReplyDeleteFun choice! I like the way you think!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Matt. The local and food is great, but I'll pass on the dude.
ReplyDeleteBut she DIES! (erm... sorry, was that a spoiler?) I can definitely see the appeal... if you added birth control anyway... seems a pretty nice life...
ReplyDeleteYou know when you list all the reasons, that's a pretty fantastic choice! You'll have to stop by to see what mine is! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about Talli's book.
ReplyDeleteI thought Brooke Shields was so pretty in this movie when I was a kid. Only downside... the surprise pregnancy, birth, and figuring out to nurse. Oh, and the cannibals.
AWESOME choice!!! I wanted to be her when I was a teenager, hahaha. I can't remember that boy's name except I think it's something like YUM!
ReplyDeleteI chose Mulan because she's kickass! Saves her father? Check. Saves her battalion? Check. Banished because she's a woman dressed as a man in the army in order to do all that saving? Check. Doesn't give a darn and saves the entire country anyway? Check!
Haha, quite the life! Great choice.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind being her. I've chosen someone very unexciting, looks-wise!
ReplyDeleteGood choice. I'd want to be her just so I could have run around naked most of my life. No underwear = bliss.
ReplyDeleteFun choice!! (But would you beleive I never saw Blue Lagoon)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Awesome! It's like she's on the never-ending honeymoon! Lucky lass!
ReplyDeleteAwesome choice. I'd love to lie around all day in the sun :)
ReplyDeleteHello???
ReplyDeleteSookie Stackhouse.
Oh yeah, I said it.
LOL, this cracked me up! Great choice! :D
ReplyDeleteYay for Talli!! Hehe.. I loved your choice ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great choice!!! She's gorgeous and I do think I'd like the fringe benefits too :)
ReplyDeleteOMG You hottie gal. All that sea water and sand and the hunk. I wasn't able to do Talli's party but I would like to be little Orphan Annie. No dummy she. She got Daddy Warbucks, didn't she?
ReplyDeleteManzanita@Wannabuyaduck
well, you made a good choice there...perfect tan and natural highlights...and hunky lover boy. What more could you want!?
ReplyDeleteI would choose one of my characters from my own books! :D
ReplyDelete♥.•*¨Elizabeth¨*•.♥
Can Alex save Winter from the darkness that hunts her?
YA Paranormal Romance, Darkspell coming fall of 2011!

Sand, sea and seafood! What more could a girl want.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I think you've sold me on Emmaline. Can there be two of them? :)
ReplyDeleteNow she's one I haven't seen today... You have a valid point for wanting to be her.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing so hard right now. Brooke Shields??? OMG, the scene where she gets her period!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great choice! Not sure about being 16 forever though... *shudder* But I do love the thought of scoffing all the shellfish!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for taking part! I really appreciate it. :) And I'm sorry I'm just making it over here now. I flaked out early last night! xx
Hi Katie - Very nice to meet you, and thanks for following my blog! Don't you absolutely hate the query process? It's worse than looking for a job!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Blue Lagoon - wonderful choice!
Amy
Perfect. That would be just perfect...
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to be said about being trapped on an island paradise with the necessities available. I wouldn't want to be perpetually 16, but I love the idea of your reasoning, Katie.
ReplyDeleteMy Captain America has a better chest--just another reason I wouldn't want a perpetual *16*, lololol! Thanks for stopping by my blog Katie!
Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE
Great choice.
ReplyDelete@ Matthew McNish - I'll take the hot boy and hope he does all the fishing anyway :-)
And know that the award from my blog is well deserved. I love your posts.

Thank you for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pick! I wouldn't have thought of her. She does have it all.
Lol! I remember watching that without my mother's approval. It was all good until Emmaline stepped on an ugly fish (which I'm afraid of doing to this day) and then part where - you know - she didn't get an epidural. :)
ReplyDeleteyou're not going to believe this... I've never seen the Blue Lagoon!!!
ReplyDeleteI know!
But you're right. Brooke Shields was a gorgeous girl. Still is. And I can't think of anything greater than lying around on the beach all day eating seafood. LOL! :D
Interesting choice. I haven't seen Blue Lagoon in years. I chose Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, because it is one of my favorite movies.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen "The Blue Lagoon", but a nice warm island paradise and not a care in the world is certainly tempting :).
ReplyDeleteYes, but what about HIS needs?
ReplyDeleteKidding! He only has one.
Fun choice.
Heck, the way you describe it, who *wouldn't* want to be her?? I just hope the island has a library...
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me! And I love that name :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I could settle on just one! I love your choice tho!!
ReplyDeleteAngela @ The Bookshelf Muse
That's a great choice. Living in the sun without a care in the world - just think of all the writing that would get done! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that movie in forever! Thanks for reminding me of it. Excellent choice...:)
