the cast of cool runnings: where are they now?

It's been 19 years since Cool Runnings came out. NINETEEN! That's pretty crazy to me. It also means it's been 18 years since their amazing coach John Candy died. Hmph.

Buzzfeed posted an update on the fine fellas of the movie, but I've gone and found a few more recent pics...

And this video that "Yul" posted of Junior in August. He looks the exact same!



If you wanna know more deets about their lives and such, head on over to my BFF Buzzfeed.

love,

PS: 19 YEARS!!!! We're old.

real world portland: meet anastasia miller

Well well well... It's time to meet another roommate now filming in Portland!

Say hello to Anastasia Miller:

• Age unverified. Anywhere from 21-25, depending on which profile you look at.
• From the Detroit area
• Describes herself as: Very outgoing, extremely intelligent and talented! Is a people-friendly person looking to boost her career in entertaining. Has been singing entire life as well as some amaeture modeling. 

I was waiting to post about her because of the lack of definite information, but I couldn't wait any longer! Hopefully her singing is better than 80% of other Real World singers. She's totally gorgeous, and her non-modeling pictures make her seem like a blast. There's also this picture from Portland:

Well, maybe she looks mostly a little scary there... but I enjoy someone who will dance on a table, bar, whatever with me.

When I get more info on her, I'll totally update ya! And if you have any, feel free to leave it below anonymously!

ALSO, rumor has it someone has already moved out, maybe even weeks ago. All that's really known is that someone new has shown up-

And here's another picture of them filming, from @bstasia.

Ahh, I'm loving following this season during filming, but I hate not being able to get ALL the deets on some of these people! It's like a blue ball tease.

As always, I'm gathering information from Twitter, Vevmo, and the awesome Real World Portland spy... in case you wanna keep up with ALL of it too!

love,

real world portland cast update: meet jordan wiseley and johnny reilly

Lookie here! We've got our first two GUYS identified in the Portland house! And BOTH of them have videos showing us exactly who they are. Hello CONVENIENCE, it's nice to meet you!

And nice to meet you, Jordan Wiseley!

• 22
• From Mustang, OK
• Oklahoma State University, Business major
• Wakeboarder
• Missing at least four fingers on his left hand:
  

He seems like a pretty awesome guy, and he looks nice, too! Plays all sorts of sports, likes country AND rap music, and is basically my future husband. Or.. something.

And there's Johnny Reilly.

• 21
• From West Bridgewater [AKA Boston], MA
• Wrestled in high school, now is a chef

His audition tape isn't the most exciting thing in the world, but remember what I and all the roommates have always told us in podcasts: It's not about being obnoxious or having "the craziest, most dramatic, party life in the world." It's about being able to tell a story [and probably have something hidden in your past]. All Boston guys are good for the show, let's be honest.

That's all for now! No big stories besides being out at the bars and mingling with people from their balcony. Sounds so... familiar. 

love,

real world portland: meet jessica mccain

I'm still so giddy about Real World: Portland and all the stalking going on! It's a beautiful thing, and so is knowing that one of the roommates already got arrested! Bravo!

And people are, of course, complaining about them being rowdy:

Careful with them. In the two bars I was at and they showed up, they started two fist-fights, and one got arrested for the night. They're kind of a rowdy group. I don't know how much trouble they can get in during a Yoga class, but...I wouldn't put it past them, either.

Wah, wah... get over it! :)

Now, let's meet Miss Jessica McCain:

• Classy [insert my new "teehee" face that I wish I could put into words here]
• 21
• from Fayetteville, NC
• Ballroom dance instructor and model
• Sorority sister- Zeta Tau Alpha
• Apparently wanted to be an Army nurse, and was in ROTC

If I were to read that bio and have to match it to someone's pictures, I'd never be able to get it right. I feel like I'm having an identity crisis just trying to comprehend all of this! [Not saying she is! Don't get it twisted!] I really don't even know what kind of first impression I can/should have about her besides "lady in the streets and a freak in the bed" maybe.

Your thoughts?

love,

elizabethany
