Here's Mandy Moore looking like she just stole a baby in a Lifetime movie and pulled over for refreshments. Seriously, she managed to grab the baby, the diaper bag, and maybe one toy to occupy the kid with before she got it away from Valerie Bertinelli and Bruce Boxleitner. It's to replace the baby she lost in the fire!
OK, sorry. Anyway, Mandy Moore appeared on some new website to talk about how she empowers herself as a woman. One of those ways is to vacation alone, which previously terrified her. I probably couldn't do it. I mean, yeah it's good for when you want to go and meet strangers for anonymous sex on a moonlit beach but you need someone to have Mimosas with the next morning. You don't want to look like a loser at the resort bar!
Mandy says "The thought really scared me, but I wanted to push past that bruise and do it anyway." She had an awesome time, and liked how she didn't have to deal with anyone else's opinions. She has a point. "No, let's go on Space Mountain next! F*ck you!" As you can see, I go on some mature-ass vacations filled with exploration and wonder.

Wow, I wouldn't be scared to go on vacation alone (unless it was to somewhere dangerous), but I just think it would be pretty boring.

I think she's a cool lady...normal even.
...a vacation alone...oooohhh that sounds dreamy...
justifymylove says:
oh that sounds sad. she doesn't look like she's enjoying herself or the crappy fast food either.
i like her though.
still, unless it's really a CHOICE it's ok with me.
dana says:
I give her credit. But it seems she actually had the paps to keep her company. ;-)

I think it's a great idea. I took a trip up the East Coast by myself after graduation and loved it. I was visiting relatives in PA and didn't want to expose any of my friends to them :-). Plus I was sick of my roommates--a year living with three girls is a lot. So it was a welcome change, even though I could have brought someone. I just preferred to have some time alone (about five days; with family about half the time).

Lola, I couldn't have said it better!
Valerie Bertinelli references are the best. :)
Love you, J.!
kaye says:
is she vacationing in LA's Griffith Park? because that's where these photos were taken. Weird, apparently I hike on the same trails as Mandy Moore, and have never see paps hiding in the bushes- guess I better look harder.

She's in Griffith Park. I don't think she's taking a vacation, just picking up something to eat. http://www.thetrailslosfeliz.com/new_page_3.htm
