I don’t have your typical taste in things.
Now that I’ve said that, hopefully you won’t be surprised by my list of favourite things in 2011!
BEST MOVIE: The Muppets
I was so excited for this movie and it didn’t let me down in a single way. It completely renewed my undying love for the Muppets.
RUNNER-UPS: I really enjoyed Bridesmaids (though I found it a bit long) and I thought Scream 4 was pure horror joy for fans of the series (including myself) or horror movie lovers in general.
*Note: You will not find these movies listed on most respectable people’s list of favourite movies – however, they describe me to a tee!
BEST SONG: Trip To Your Heart – Britney Spears
RUNNER-UPS: Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” is fun in an epic end-of-year way and of course Lady Gaga’s “Edge Of Glory” was a sound I hoped would lend itself to her whole album (which sadly was not the case).
BEST ALBUM: Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor – Caro Emerald
* Technically not released this year, but this was the year I discovered her.
RUNNER-UPS: Robin Thicke’s “Love After War” album is a perfect, relaxing blend of many genres I’m a fan of.
BEST BOOK: The Help
RUNNER-UPS: “The Night Circus” was captivating the whole way through but the ending felt like a bit of a let-down.
BEST PLAY: The Arrangement
RUNNER-UPS: I also really enjoyed “Into The Woods”, particularly the first half. ![]()
* Of course, Being Earnest & Here’s To Love! were out of the running because I was in them though I must say Being Earnest will forever hold a place in my heart.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION: Amsterdam
RUNNER-UPS: Can I say everywhere else? The concierge at Disney’s Polynesian Resort? NEW ORLEANS (I loved it there so much!) Disneyland Paris Resort? I feel so lucky to have had the chance to visit these places!!!
