Legally Blonde, Diamonds and the Mistletoe Syndrome.

Wednesday, 29 December 2010


Reece Witherspoon has got engaged. Reece rocketed into super stardom following her portrayal of Elle Woods, a ditsy blonde who makes it to Harvard - in the hit movie Legally Blonde. Elle Woods finally caught her man and Reece Witherspoon's faith in happily ever afters is still intact despite her first divorce.

Must be the season to be engaged girls. Natalie Portman announced her engagement yesterday and Reece Witherspoon sports her accessory hunk today. Nice to see Reece ecstatic. Perhaps it will go viral and men worldwide will spend their last pennies on that elusive engagement ring for the girl they love. MTV sports a fascinating piece on the recent rush of engagements. They describe it as the "Mistletoe Syndrome"

"So why the sudden flurry of committed coupling? According to relationship expert and professional matchmaker Amy Laurent, we can chalk it all up to the phenomenon known as "mistletoe syndrome."
"Around the holidays people get more in the mood, more romantic," Laurent explained to MTV News of the term coined by her friend, artist Annika Connor. "Those are the times when people start re-evaluating their relationships. [It occurs] in November, December, January, and we see a lot of marriages, a lot of engagements," she said. "And then there is withdrawal after the syndrome wears off, come Valentine's Day, February, March."
Gone are the days of Richard Burton's gigantic diamond ring purchased for the love of his life Elizabeth Taylor. Now that is something to aim for boys :).





Diamonds Are Forever.
