Guilty Pleasures
I've read the entire Shopaholic series.

I'm a nonfiction geek. I love nonfiction books (about science, the environment, dead bodies, war, Animals, and on and on). P.S. at the current moment I'm also addicted to Pinterest and pinning most stuff related to Benedict Cumberbatch.
I would have to say the Sherlock and Avengers fandoms. And Tumblr. And maybe Marble Hornets but I'm not so guilty about that.
The BBC show Sherlock? If so, I'm right with you there! It's a fantastic show!
I love Pretty Little Liars, Twilight, and YA contemporary romance.

My guilty pleasure is reading romances. Its nice to take a break from life and just read something with a happy ending for a change.
I'm also a big Star Wars geek. And Lord of the Rings. And I can't wait to see the next Hobbit movie. Dragons!!!!

Patiently awaiting? LOL ~ i wish it was here already. Oh I'm so in love with SH on BBC. Such a great show. I'm also a Star Trek nerd. I love the original series.
I like pixar movies (and no I don't have any kids)
I always cry at Pixar movies. Really. Its embarrassing. Up? I cried from beginning to end. No kidding. Great movie. At least with Finding Nemo I'm laughing and crying. And, no, I don't have kids either.
I loved Up :-DI just seen it for the first time last week. That movie was amazing. I cried as well. Pixar is very good at messing with my emotions. I hate them for that. They ruined my tough big sister reputation.
Grease 2 is probably my biggest guilty pleasure. I have it on VHS, LaserDisc, DVD, & Blu Ray. The music is so putrid and the dialog so inane that I can't get enough of it! The opening "Back to School" number is really good and doesn't belong in the movie, but fortunately, the movie goes quickly down hill after that and stays there. It also has a young Michelle Pfeiffer in tight black jeans rubbling her self against a step ladder like a cat in heat (but since she has zero chemistry with co-star Maxwell Caufield, it comes off as just trying to scratch an itch) as she sings. Offkey!On top of thet, it has Adrian Zmed in it! I think that name translates as "Bad Movie."
What's not to love? G2 is my all time favorite bad movie.

I am now singing Back to School in my head... thank you very much... Lol. What about the bizarre song in the bomb shelter? Bad movie. Bad, bad movie. :)

umm..i watch reality t.v my latest one is amish mafia..lol.. I also love super heroes and watch the avengers cartoons..lol
omg..k.. in pensylvania ..no going to outsiders..so have a certain group that take 10percent of all profits from the businesses and take care of any problems including violence.. love it..so bad though..lol
Wow...that's really unexpected lol I can see how that would be really interesting to watch.
I wanna be a cooo-ooo-oool rider!
If He's Cool enough...he can burn me thru and thru....
Marc-Antoine wrote: "I wanna be a cooo-ooo-oool rider!"That's my primary memory of that movie.
Here's another guilty pleasure, I like to drink coolers and other fruity concoctions. Such as piña coladas, bikini martini's and the like!
Having a duvet day, staying in my jammies all day parked on the couch, stuffing my face and watching movies. Haven't done that in a long time.

I don't know if I should be embarrassed nor not, but I do love musicals: Evita, Moulin Rouge, Phantom of the Opera (even the sequel).I used to be into So You Think You Can Dance, but not so much anymore.
I love musicals! Do you watch the old stuff too? The Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies are some of my favorites. I guess that's another guilty pleasure but I'm not embarrassed by it at all. I love old black and white movies. Even though I was born in the 70's. I hate it when people tell me they haven't seen (any old movie) because they weren't born yet. Like I was? Dang I must look good for my age. Lol.
I never stopped listening to Wham!, my favorite group in junior high. I also watched the entire series of The Secret Life of the American Teenager on Netflix recently. I kinda think MmmBop is a good song.
@Kate - Book 3 comes out in October I believe. It's called Mad About the Boy@William - I LOVE MUSICALS!!!
So, I have another guilty pleasure! I'm pretty sure I spend more money on makeup from Sephora than I do anything else...
Star Trek, Harry Potter, Marvel Comics movies, Die Hard, basically any super nerdy movie or anything with nonstop action. I basically have the movie tastes of a 16 year old boy. My husband and I never have to fight over the remote though!
My quilty pleasure is watching Naked and Afraid on the Discovery channel. Has anybody else seen the show?
Ha- I had to google that to find out what it's about-- Note to self: Don't google "Naked and Afraid" on a work computer.

no, I'm not into the old stuff, but I did go through a phase a few years back where I watched the Sound of Music like three times in three days.
Sad? Yes. Macho? Not so much.
But it makes me happy.

SNB this is my second year..I had such a good time last year.
The hills are alive....Makes me happy too, William. I tend to sing the do re mi song spontaneously all the time! My kids love it, coworkers...not so much!
I grew up doing musical theater! Actually, I played Gretel in a local production of the Sound of Music when I was in the second grade. It was a great experience.
which jon.. reality t.v and super heroes or musicals..lol
SNB wrote: "Ha- I had to google that to find out what it's about-- Note to self: Don't google "Naked and Afraid" on a work computer."LOL, sorry about that.
My guilty pleasures are exceptional cheese and the cheese that makes fun of it with me, like MST3K.That, and watching people texting walk into things.
Jason wrote: "That, and watching people texting walk into things..."Seeing things like that makes my heart lighter and laugh and laugh and laugh
My guilty pleasure: I can't wait for tonight's mid-season finale of Pretty Little Liars, and I can't wait for the third Bridget Jones novel to come out!
