I have blue eyes, a medium skin tone, and dark dark brown hair that basically looks like black. I usually wear a light purple eyeshadow with a plum eyeliner and black mascara. Also, a pink lipgloss. Also, I know you shouldn't match your eyeshadow to your clothes, but I don't think just any shadow would look good with a honey shirt with a brown hollister logo. It's a really nice shirt too, I just don't know what would go.
What is the best color eyeshadow, eyeliner, and lipgloss for blue eyes?
eyeshadow- go for smokey eyes, they'd look fabulous with a honey shirt.
eyeliner- brown or black.
lipgloss- simple clear with a pink glow
Reply:also a midnight blue looks good with blue eyes Report It
Reply:My eyes are green with a blue rim. When I wear purple or plum it makes my eyes look more green. If I want them to look more blue I use black or gray with a neutral color base, or shades of blue with a hint of brown or black liner. Also the lighter your lips the more your eyes stand out. Since you have beautiful blue eyes, I would stay neutral on the lip.
Reply:Yes I would wear a light icy purple eyeshadow maybe even baby blue would be nice. light black mascera, peachy lip gloss. and a good foundation. Good Luck
Reply:You have described my coloring to a tee, and what i do is at wal-mart go to the ALMAY and they have a chart for whatever color ur eyes are. They are so right the browns and beiges that i use really bri g out hte color. They have a set for bringing out color and for playing up color
Reply:i think you sould wear a brown/golden color of eye shadow. your eyeliner should be a dark brown and for mascara wear a color that matches your hair. lip gloss should be a darker shade of your natrual lip color.
Reply:Okay try a warm brown eyeshadow with black eyeliner and mascara with a plum pink and brown lip gloss.

Any suggestions to decorate a blank wall without using a painting?
I have a blank wall in family. The room is painted flat plum. I have a rather large behind loveseat that is blank. I need something funky to put on this wall to brighten it up. Don't want painting or mirror or clock...any suggestions?
Any suggestions to decorate a blank wall without using a painting?
Here is a great idea. (I'll tell you right off the bat, I'm no decorating guru). Go tour some new construction homes and get ideas from there. The home builders pay good money to the professional decorators to come in and decorate their model homes. Or if "funky" is what you are looking for. I have seen (in a commercial) a sculpture (if you want to call it that) of a fish , using music cd's of different colors slightly overlapping each other on the wall which made the fish look like it had scales. Doesn't have to be a fish, but you get the idea. Maybe there are some other items that can be recycled and painted or used in a different fashion to make your wall hanging an "original handmade work of art"! Good Luck!!!
Reply:Use a decorative wall paper according to your own preference. It can definitely beautify a plain wall in an instant! It brings out a creative style that could reflect a funky lifestyle...
Reply:How about a macrame wall hanging, a dream catcher, some wire sculpture (leaves and vines, music notes?), a shelf or two with candles, some decorative plates ?
Reply:Wallpaper is great stuff
Reply:Purple in a house? Is this a whorehouse?
Reply:tie dye it or paint your kids pics on it
Reply:- wall sculpture. You can either make one yourself or buy one. They're sculptures, only (almost) flat and intended to hang on walls.
- cloth. You can either hang a panel of cloth from the cieling down, or just a square of cloth you can frame in a nice frame. Tere are awesome textures o0ut there, I'm sure you will find one you like.
- you're own piece of art. You can take some baboo reeds and tie them up in a funky shape, you can make your own painting.
- a piece of old wood. Go to a junkyard and you will find old boards, some have a lot of character.
Reply:a pretty tapestry or cloth wall hanging would be nice.
Reply:How about those Wall Waterfalls? that be great huh?!
Reply:Hang a blanket or pretty rug, string a picture wire across and clip family photos, favorite art, post cards whatever, use different sizes and colors for variety. You could also consider a mosaic or other tile art as well as just randomly painting squares or stripes. Have a party and create a "Fame Wall" have everyone put hand prints on the wall and sign it. You could really go wild and have a local street artist graffiti it or line the wall with old record albums. There are so many options just decide on the look you want and go for it!
Reply:hang a small rug on the wall, or a curtain with a fun pattern
Reply:My friend cut pretty flowers out of shiny (single color) rapping paper. The color is a little darker than the wall.
She stuck them with tape and they looked amazing!!

Why do they put stickers on fruit?
Does anyone know why they put brand stickers on fruit? It ruins teh skin and then you wind up eating the stickum. Does anyone look for a specic brand of plum or nectarine?
Why do they put stickers on fruit?
depending on the supermarket you use, fruits and veggies may be pre-packed for you or loose, in which case you pick out your own and bag it. there are usually several varieties of the same fruit or veggie, and their prices vary. the stickers are on them, and if you notice, there are different codes on the particular varieties. some people would have no problem taking the higher price produce and telling the cashier it was the lower price. the cashier just has to look at the little annoying sticker and know what price to charge per pound.
Reply:some people loves orange but they prefer Sunkist brand instead of brand A so may b the company produce better oranges so, tat wat people want . it is jus like buying shoes u will prefer billabong to quiksilver(example)
Reply:to tell u what brand it is and when a cashier rings u up it tells the produce number incase they do not recognize the fruit
Reply:It's to let you know that someone inspected it and it is safe for consumption once leaving their site.
Reply:to let u know its fresh or not
Reply:I think people do
Reply:because the supermarket has a code system. the number on the sticker is the code for the cashier. sometimes, the sticker is to let the consumer know what company the fruit is from. example- sunkist will put a "sunkist" sticker on its oranges.
Reply:To show you where they came from....the grade; and yes, some people have favorite brands. The glue is harmless and washes right off.
Reply:Also to provide the scale price coding for the supermarket checkout person.
Reply:For the shippers and the graders, most people know SFA about the food they eat and the little numbered sticker tell them if it is an apple or an orange
sorry, check out clerkiettes and other minimum wage peoples, No Offence intended.
Reply:Well I work in a supermarket and I find the stickers very useful, because they help identify the spcific type of fruit (eg red delicious or jonagold apple) very quickly, and also they usually give the code of the fruit so I know what to put in the register, because they don't have barcodes.
An easy way to avoid eating part of the sticker is to remove it first, then give your fruit a quick rinse under cold water and then rub dry the skin with a tea towel. I find the ones with ridges work well to remove any bad stuff on the skin.
Hope this throws a little light!
Reply:I don't Know maybe because they ship a certain amount
and that's why there are numbers on the stickers. and that might be the reason there are stickers on fruit
Reply:Nobody really needs the peel anyway. So yea.. it's mostly of the brand..
Now.. I said nobody really needs the peel anyway.. but people eat it by apples.
Get a knife and scrape the blade against the peel of the apple.
You'll see white stuff on the blade. It's wax.. so the apple is shiny..
The peel won't really be affected cuz of the sticker since there's wax.. but yea..

Which is the best kind of stir-fry sauce to use with king prawns?
satay goes well with chicken and black bean goes well with beef, but which kind goes well with king prawns and/or other seafood like calamari? please dont say plum sauce, tis the only one I dislike!
Which is the best kind of stir-fry sauce to use with king prawns?
I think that kung pao goes really well with shrimp, and also you might want to perhaps try lobster sauce with shrimp or even try a garlic stir-fry with shrimp something infused with thai!! you can try calamari in a mango curry sauce or even red curry also...
hopefully that helped you..

What do three asterisks mean on a book page?
I've been reading the "Stephanie Plum" novels my Janet Evanovich. She puts random sets of three asterisks at the top or bottom of each page. What's that mean?
What do three asterisks mean on a book page?
I love stephanie plum books! they are great. The *** means she is jumping from one scene to another, like when she is at her apartment, then it takes her to her parent's house. Kinda like they do in movies. I'm in book 5 right now, my mom has all the books until 12, shes waiting until it comes out in softback, I'm gonna keep reading until then.
Reply:Some authors use *** to signify jumps from one place or thought in a chapter to another, such as in the first part of the chapter they hero is talking to his sidekick in the forest and then after a couple of paragraphs the chapter jumps to the heroine battling the villian on top of the mountain. They use the *** instead of starting a new chapter and also because they don't know where on the page this split is going to happen when it is printed by the publisher so the *** helps to make the split easier to see for the reader.
Reply:I have never read Evanovich so I can't say in her case but often footnotes will be symbolized by an asterisk. A footnote with 3 of them might signify that it's the third footnote of that particular page.
Reply:If the story changes in the middle of the page, there is a space so you can tell that a transition is happening in the story. The asterisks are put in if the transition occurs at the end of a page, so you don't read on and think that you are reading about the last character, for example, and become confused.

Im trying to identify a tree i saw recently?
i am in wisconsin and the leaves of this tree are now a rich red. overall it looks to me like a plum or pear tree, but i dont remember seeing any fruit on it. the leaves are heartshaped, hearty and glossy. several of them are planted in this quite new neighborhood so obviously its a tree that landscapers like to use. do you know what it could be?
Im trying to identify a tree i saw recently?
Sounds like a Bradford Pear. Very coomon landscaping tree. They're one of the first trees to get their leaves and they have pretty flowers in the spring. They have very little to no fruit.
However, they do require maintainence. They tend to be brittle, and the wide, full, leafy branches hold a lot of snow and catch a lot of wind. The branches tend to break near the trunk, so expect to lose a lot of big branches. This won't be a problem if you have them professionally trimmed every few years.
Reply:Maybe a Maple

Reply:Alot of landscapers now use American Basswood aka american linden. The tree has beautiful white flowers in the spring and the leaves are heartshaped as you describe. Oaks and maples do not have heart shaped leaves. There is also an ornamental pear that many landscapers are now using. You might go to Greenwoodnursery.com for a description and picture of a bradford pear and an american linden.

Would a sheet set for a day bed work for a regular twin size bed? If not please explain why!?
The only sheets I can find in this particular color is for a day bed. So what's your input on this? Any Help you can give me is appreciated. The color is Plum Purple.
Would a sheet set for a day bed work for a regular twin size bed? If not please explain why!?
As far as length and width, yes ... the dimensions are the same for both a daybed and a regular twin bed ... both use the same-size mattress. Daybeds are designed to hold a standard twin mattress.
However ... height might be a problem. Mattresses come in different heights ... some are extra-deep. Some sheets are sold as "extra-deep" as well. If you already have the twin mattress, measure the height of it to see if it's "standard" (9") or higher. Some mattresses are several inches taller ... also, a "pillowtop" layer will effect height.
I imagine (this is just a guess, though) that daybed sheets would be sized for a mattress that is standard depth.
Reply:Hi Check the size of your daybed mattress as they do come in different sizes. A standard twin size is 39"wide x 75" long and is usually around 9" depth.The twin mattress size requires a fitted sheet that is 39”x 75”, a flat sheet that is 66” x 96” and a pillow sheet that is 20” x 26”. Hope this helps.

What color should I paint my walls to minimize my purple carpet?
I have a dusty purple plum carpet and I'm trying to sell my house, I was going to replace the carpet but it's in excellent condition so I was wondering what color I should use to paint the walls to minimize the purple. The walls are currently painted an off white with a touch of pink, and I want to keep them off white, but is there a color I can use to dull the purple and make it seem less... purpley?
I appreciate any help with this. Thanks so much. :D
What color should I paint my walls to minimize my purple carpet?
You should play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:
http://sherlink.sherwin.com/swapp/color_...
Based on your situation, I suggest a color called "Windsor Greige."
Reply:A beige or a light light sandy brown color. It'll make it seem more light. If you're selling your home also I suggest playing light relaxing music when people come to look at it, keep it in tip top cleaning shape, turn on a fireplace if you have one, and put away all clutter.
Reply:If your seriously trying to sell your house, then the purple carpet has to go. Keep rooms %26amp; carpets neutral colors. Beige/tans for carpets or if you have decent wood floors underneath, place throw rugs down. Keep walls light. The idea is for potential buyers to see how they would like to decorate it which is easier with light colors, as it makes it more bright, airy %26amp; appear bigger.
Put clutter, knicknacks, etc. away, as these things can ve distracting. You want to basically give them a clean canvas to which they can envision how they want there belongings to appear.
Bring your purple carpet with you to your new home. Good Luck!
Reply:Purple is a cool colour. It is complementary to yellow. Using anything yellowish will accent the purple. Using a cool colour will make the purple seem less obvious. I would go with a light grey colour, towards the blue side. That combination will look spacious and calming. I had light grey on my walls for years and found it very easy to live with. If you really must use an off-white, make it a cool off-white.
Reply:make sure you use a color with no green in it, that will enhance the purple. I would use

but try a tester first to make sure. you can get it at MPC
Reply:Not sure what shade of purple, but since you feel it's a bit overpowering, a creamy beige wall would be a nice offset and tone it down a bit. You may want to consider some area rugs (that you can later take with you) which will coordinate well with purple and cover some of the area. Not sure which room the carpet is in, but If it's throughout the home, then just changing the wall color to a beige should help.
Good Luck!
Reply:You can do beige, but if your feeling daring, you could do yellow!

What is a good accent wall color for a pale yellow living room/hallway in a house?
I am currently in the process of priming my house. I have decided to go with a pale yellow color for the living room/hallway areas. The kitchen is next to the living room but has some walls to separate the two rooms making it not a completely open floor plan. I have decided to use a sage green color in the kitchen. There is one wall in the living room where the fireplace sits with wall space on both sides of the fireplace. I am thinking of making this an accent wall. The floors are all hardwood and the cabinets in kitchen are medium oak colored. I want the kitchen and living room colors to fit together and I think that the yellow and green work well with each other. The house does not let in that much sunlight b/c there are big trees in the front and back so there is shade. What color do you think I should use for my accent wall? I was thinking maybe a medium/dark red, plum, orange, or taupe.
What is a good accent wall color for a pale yellow living room/hallway in a house?
navy... plum.... maroon....browns... soothing or traditional colors... more pop... then red/burnt oranges..
if u'r making the wall next to the fireplace.. make sure these colors will also go W/ the fireplace %26amp; don't clash. U can always paint u'r fireplace if u don't like OR spice it up w a glaze over the brick.
Reply:I like burgundy, but I'm not sure how that would look with the sage green. I like yellow - gold walls with hardwood floors, and Oriental rugs (in the tan and burgundy shades) with dark tan furniture, and Burgundy accents with stuff like old world globe accents, and an antique chess set on my coffee table. Bookcases with lots of books. I'm into the earth tones.
Reply:as you probly already know, it's a superb idea to paint on large practice boards first. "secluded beach" is a nice orange that won't compete with the yellow. it will also go good with the green. the maker is benjamin moore. "gobi desert" is a nice taupe with a hint of plum. "homespun charm" is a very earthy plum and not garish. as for red, my personal thing is to opt for large red artwork or red things instead of red paint but that's just me

How do I go from fading red hair to my natural colour?
I have spent years dyeing my (naturally mousey blond) hair quite dark shades of red (mahogany, and plum). I decided some months ago that enough was enough and got the red hair covered with a medium brown, plus some highlights to help blend my lighter natural hair as it grew at the root. My regrowth is a couple of inches long now, and I still have some traces of auburn-ish hair throughout, especially at the ends of my hair.
Is it possible to cover up this haircolour once and for all with a natural shade? Will it take the colour, or would I have to lighten all over first?
How do I go from fading red hair to my natural colour?
Wait until your hair grows out enough to get all those ends cut off and still be able to style it to your liking.
In the meantime you should try temporary rinses that will match the ENDS of your hair. The darker ends will NOT accept a light temporary color.
That way your hair will be a bit more uniform in color, until you get a haircut.
Reply:there is a product the will strip your hair of all colour you can get it at a hairdressing wholesalers.
then you can start again and put what ever colour you like in
Reply:You can go to 5 different salons and get 5 different answers. your best bet is to trim off the ends to minimalize the red as much as possible. Or you can just keep highlighting the red little by little until it is gone. I go to Sally's beauty supplies, they have products that washout after about 6 shappoos, this way you don't have a permanant commitment. I love it.

In eastern Tenn. will fruit & nut orchard trees (apple, pear,plum) grow well inelevations over 3,500 ft?
I'd like to know if there is a place in Tenn. that lends its self to growing fruit and nuts?
In eastern Tenn. will fruit %26amp; nut orchard trees (apple, pear,plum) grow well inelevations over 3,500 ft?
I really doubt it, I think the weather would be a bit harsh in the mountains, especially in the winter, the soil is probably too thin and poor, and it's overly drained, especially at that elevation. Most fruit and nut trees require good drainage, but not mountainside drainage, mild winters, and good soil. But check with a local nursery, they might be able to find something that would work where you're at.

How long do you have to wait to go swimming after dying your hair?
I just used "Color Pulse" to dye my hair in Funky Cherry and Chilled Plum. How long do I have to wait before I can go swimming and let my hair get wet? I really don't want the colors to bleed.
How long do you have to wait to go swimming after dying your hair?
i don't know but may i give you a tip on something else....before you go swimming put some conditioner on it...leave in, rinse out, it dosn't matter but if you get clorine buildup in your hair it eats at it and makes it messy and matts a lot....(i used to have a lot of problems with that cause i'm a lifeguard) so condition it before you swim :-)
Reply:Forgot to mention, my color *didn't* fade or bleed or anything. It lasted great and it's still vibrant. Report It

What can I use in place of reccurrant jelly?
I have a recipie that needs some redcurrent jelly and I can not get any where I live, any suggestions what I could use instead - maybe a mixture of cranberrie sauce and plum jam?
Thanks in advance.
What can I use in place of reccurrant jelly?
Do you have a safeway/woolworths local to you? I know they sell redcurrant jelly at most of their stores. It will be with the imported/specialty jams. If not try using blackcurrant jelly/jam. Very similar flavour and a fine substitute as long as you don't need it to be red. If you need red you could always strain some raspberry jam to remove any seeds and pulpy bits.
Reply:blackcurrant jam is the closest
Try buyin frozen red currants,
Defrost them,
Put into pot with sugar,
Bring to the boil then allow to reduce till thick.
Beautiful jelly/jam
Hope that helps
Reply:I would think the cranberry sauce would work better than the plum.
Reply:the red current jelly isnt so much for the taste, but for the texture. see if you can find apple jelly, consistency is the same and the taste will not be effected

How long do I have to wait to dye my hair after bleaching?
My hairdresser has bleached my hair a horrible gingery-blonde colour from brown. She bleached it so I could dye over it a plum colour. Now she says I have to wait 2 weeks but I can't go out with my hair this colour I HATE IT. I know someone who works in Toni %26amp; Guy and constanly bleaches and dyes her hair so how long minimum do I have to wait. I've waited ages to dye my hair and want to do it asap.
How long do I have to wait to dye my hair after bleaching?
hey if you just want dye it a plum colour if you buy a semi you can do it now thats not a problem as long as it is a semi, coz a semi is just like a toner and has hardly any peroxide in plus they more conditioning and shiny. It will just fade quicker thats all so just buy two and then re do it in a couple of weeks
Reply:do it whenever just make sure yiu use a deep conditioner. the only bad thing is that bleach and dye strip oils from your hair. just use aussie 3 min miracle after you wash the dye out. try a med hue shade not a dark plum b/c it will come out real bright due to the bleach color in your hair already.
Reply:right as its gone tht lovely orange colour - it needs an ash toner on it to neutrilise the orange.
or try using a shampoo like matrix so silver - cos its purple in colour, when u use it, it puts ash tones bk into the hair to help get rid of any orangeness in the hair and helps enhance blonde or grey hair.
trick with having bleach on the hair is to keep doing conditioning treatments..use a reconstructing 1 it helps repair any hair damage.
also after shampooing and conditioning hair - usea leave in conditioner, helps add moisture and detangle hair.
and get ur hair cut every 4-6 weeks..
and last thing...where possible dont use hairdryer or straighteners on ur hair and if u do make sure u use a thermal protection spray.
Reply:You should wait at least two months because that's mixing chemicals and I know you don't want your hair to fall out. You should try cellophane. It"s okay to put cellophane in your hair because that's nothing but conditioner.
Reply:I have dark brown hair and have had my hair bleached several times in order to dye it another color. My stylist always dyed the hair right after bleaching, so I assume it's fine to just go ahead and do so. Just don't bleach your hair too often or else it will get brittle and lose shine.

Can you get a stain out once it is set in a fabric?
Is there any way to remove a stain once it has been set in the fabric?
I got plum juice on one of my good shirts and I thought that cold water was only used on blood stains so I got a sponge with hot water and made matters even worse. Is there anyway to get the stain out since I have already set it in the fabric?
Can you get a stain out once it is set in a fabric?
well if its a white shirt you can use bleach if its anything else use oxy clean i use it always and it alwys works
Reply:The dry cleaners. You may try hair spray..
Reply:* Any fruit stain can be easily removed by using a dilute solution of chlorine bleach (~1/2 to 1%).
Note:- use Oxygen bleach instead of chlorine for colored garment.
* Spotting stains out:-
- On a shirt try dabbing bleach soln on, then soak up using a dry towel.
- Repeat until stain completely disappears.
- Wash as normal then rinse with warm water.
Good Luck!!
Reply:Plum Juice is a vegetable colour,if it is cotton it gets set,if it is any man made fiber fabric it will go. Give it to your washing shop or garment cleaners they will remove any stain.
Reply:I would try a a red stain remover made for carpet. Rug Dr. has a good one. If that doesn't work try a Biz boil.Use a large pot on the stove with about 3/4 cup of Biz in it. Bring water to a boil add shirt and boil for about 45 min to an hour. Let water cool then launder shirt. This will get out even set in ink.
Reply:Anything with oxy in the name. I got this stain removal spray for my carpet from Woolite and I used it on a couple of shirts and it works like magic.
I sprayed it on the scrubbed on both sides in a circular motion with a hard brissled toothbrush..rinsed with what ever temperature the garment advises to wash it in and the stains disappeared in seconds...best $3.99 I've ever spent in my life. Which reminds me I'm almost out!
Reply:Bleach, Oxy-Clean
Reply:TRY SHOUT ADVANCED OR EVEN OXY CLEAN
MY SON WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LAUNDRY SAID TRY LEMON JUICE MIXXED WITH OXY CLEAN COLD
Reply:My last resort is to use a laundry soap bar. it looks like a big bar of soap. but you get it buy the laundry soap. i use a nail brush %26amp; softly rub the stain W/the soap. It works for me. good luck
Reply:Whenever heat is applied to the fabric there is really no way of removing the stain.

What types of food would you put with speciality sausages?
Our local farmers market butchers have some wonderful homemade speciality sausages but I'm at a loss what kind of vegs or type of foods to put with them as they are too good to just put with chips.
I've bought the following
Lamb and mint
Chicken, lemon and herb
Pork, cider and apple
Duck and plum.
Any ideas would be great, thanks
What types of food would you put with speciality sausages?
With lamb and mint I'd have cous cous.
With chicken, lemon and herb I'd have Crushed New potatos, shredded savoy cabbage and glazed carrots.
With pork, cider and apple, mash, roasted onions and peppers.
With duck and plum a bit of a stir fry with 5 spices powder.
Reply:The pork/cider and apple I would do sauerkraut and a spatzle
Lamb and mint I would do baby peas and little red potatoes.
Chicken/lemon,herb I would do a lemon rice and asparagus
Duck and plum I would do a stuffing (with cranberries added to counteract the sweetness of the plum) and roasted butternut squash or roasted sweet potatoes
Reply:You can`t go wrong with plain mash potatoes with any sausage, really tasty sausage don`t need special veg to give the meal more flavour.
Reply:Those are the sausages that I love to BBQ ... Sometimes I'll grill veggies (zucchini or red/green bell peppers) to go with them...rice dishes or couscous or tabboleuh... a green salad ... and always a fruit salad or cut up fruit...

maybe some brocolli and/or garden peas on the side and some crusty bread%26amp;butter..
Reply:Mash potato's as they won't over power the sausages. And any veg as long as it dosn't have a strong taste, I some times do yorkshire puddings with sausages.
Reply:make anice mucshroom rice, or even a simple pasta with a sauce thats not to overpowering, and you cant go wrong with some specialty cheeses and some plain crackers

Janet evanovich writes stephanie plum books. does anyone know if film made?
after reading these stories one back cover suggested her first book had been made into a film.would love to see it but no luck so far.
Janet evanovich writes stephanie plum books. does anyone know if film made?
This is directly from the Evanovich website.
What's going on with the One For the Money movie?
Last we heard, nothing. They've been working on a script for several years now. Reese Witherspoon is attached to the project to play Stephanie. No other casting has been done. If anything exciting ever happens we'll be sure to post it on the site right away.
Who would Janet like to see cast in the movie?
Janet saw Miss Congeniality and loved Sandra Bullock. Thought she would make a great Stephanie. She also would like John Travolta to be in the movie. Not necessarily because he's right for a specific part, but she would really like to dance with him at the premiere party.
Reply:I don’t know
Reply:havent seen any, but have read one of hers, she is very comical.
Reply:no.

Last we heard, nothing. They've been working on a script for several years now. Reese Witherspoon is attached to the project to play Stephanie. No other casting has been done. If anything exciting ever happens we'll be sure to post it on the site right away.
Who would Janet like to see cast in the movie?
Janet saw Miss Congeniality and loved Sandra Bullock. Thought she would make a great Stephanie. She also would like John Travolta to be in the movie. Not necessarily because he's right for a specific part, but she would really like to dance with him at the premiere party.

Reply:no.
How do you feel about book adaptation to film?
I think it would be cool if some of my favorite book series were made into a tv series or a movie. So which book or book series do you think would make a good tv series/movie. My first choice would have to be the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.
How do you feel about book adaptation to film?
I think some of them suck(Ella Enchanted) beacuse they leave out a lot of info and change the storyline, making them less accurate. I think the Anybodies by N.E. Bode, Dear Dumb Diary series by Jim Benton, the Cronus Chronicles, and the Sisters Grimm series would make great films/TV series. Hmm, maybe I should read the Stephanie Plum series too....
Reply:i'm a real sucker because i really don't like it when books are made into films because i feel like they always get it wrong! but i love to see what other people thought about the book and the imagination i couldn't comprehend unless i watched the movie %26gt;%26lt; i'd love to see...The Named series become movies! or Stravaganza or Tithe by Holly Black :)
Reply:books into films are never really good, in my opinion. the facts aways get messed up, and it never stays true to the book.
Reply:books rarely survive being turned in to film. example:
Ella Enchanted great book that was massacred in the film adaptation. they added in characters that shouldn't have been in there and changed the apperance of some characters. it was horrible. that's why i like Masterpiece theater and some BBC specials because when they take on books the specials remain true the book.

Reply:As a writer (who does not have that particular talent), it's like magic when it works. Some books would transfer better or easier than others, but I think it takes a special gift to do it well. Personally, I'd like to see Nora Roberts' (writing as Robb) futuristic detective novels on film. It would make a great TV series, too.
Reply:It really depends on how well they do it. As stated before, they totally changed Ella Enchanted (even the lovely Hugh Dancy couldn't save it) to an awful farce. But the A%26amp;E version of Pride %26amp; Prejudice (with Colin Firth) was quite true to the book, and the actors managed to convey feelings that were described in long passages by mere expressions and glances.
I'd like to see Thomas Hardy's Mayor of Casterbridge turned into a movie. I felt really bad for Henchard!
Reply:The Vampire Chronicles would be a great TV series. The movie for Interview With the Vampire was great, but a show would be even better, with the viewers following the Lestat's steps as he tries his best to be human in his eternal damned life, while meeting lovers, friends, and allies, along with enemies.
The Iliad, Greek Version, was a series of books, and making it into a TV series would be pretty cool. Unlike Troy, where it was just an inspiration; but a show where the everyone of the main characters can make an appearance; like the Greek gods and Priam's many children.
Reply:I don't mind it I mean I always always read the book first sometimes just because its becoming a movie but that way you can see the book on screen and just have fun and laugh about wat they mess up then explain it to the non reading friends and all.
