Birthday heels!


Reese Witherspoon wore these AMAZING pieces of heaven (Balenciaga, A Line Platform Pump) to a premiere for her new movie on her birthday! Such beauties should be worn on such occassions!


(And at the low price of $1,045, these babies cost less than my car accident! When I woke up last Tuesday I should have ordered these rather than going out and wrecking my car. Next time I'll keep that in mind.)

There ain't no ass to kiss when you're livin' life on the D-List

Oh, Kathie, Kathie, Kathie - you bad girl! She has definitely become my favorite tranny.

I like boys who like boys

This post is here for 2 reasons: to show my appreciation for some of my favorite people, and to get excited for Kathie Griffin tomorrow night!

I have my main gay. He's my favorite and if I never get married, I'd choose him to be my emergency contact person. He'll come over and take care of my cats when I go on my Spinster vacays. Actually, scratch that, we'll probably take Spinster vacays together (however, not to Vegas). We've even shared a man (seperately), which I think is just fagulous!

Anyway, there's another sassafrass that's trying to get on my hag radar. This started about a year ago. Everytime we're out together he totally hollers at me, not in the I-want-you way; in the I-want-you-to-go-shopping-with-me way. He's even invited me to Happy Hour tonight. Watch out Lovah!

Kidding. My Lovah will forever be my main gay-squeeze.

But I do love the boys that love the boys. Maybe it's their pure honesty and bitchiness. Not many people can match me on the 'tude I can give to a complete dousche out at a bar, but the gays totally can.

I love you Gchat!


As of late, my workload has been extremely low. Gone are the days that I had multiple client projects to work on, assignments to juggle and daily deadlines. I can't even remember the last time I had to manage my time on projects so that I could be sure to get it all done by the 5:00 hour.

Thanks to the economy, my company has been slow-goin's for quite some time now, and being at the bottom of the totem pole, that means I get the short end of the stick. My days are now kept busy with finding whatever I can do to keep myself busy, or keep myself looking busy at least.

But alas, there is one thing that has kept me sane during the dragging days. Google Chat! Thanks to Gchat, I can talk to my co-worker that sits in the back. I can gossip with my friend while she's at work on the other side of town. And, luckily, I can keep in touch with my Roomie who is miiiles and miiiles away!

It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to do any work. I'm all for staying busy and being productive in the workplace. There is just none to be done at the present time.

So, thank you Gchat inventors. You've totally become a lifesaver for my days of trolling the internet and being lonely. Now I'm surrounded by my friends on even the quietest days at work!

St. Patrick's Day -- No luck o' the Irish here

Isn't this day supposed to be lucky? Full of four leaf clovers, green beer and Irish cheer? Not mine.

Mine started with waking up sick and calling into work. I had a doctor appointment already scheduled for 8:45 a.m. so I was planning on coming home from that and watching Sex & the City DVDs all day. Well, apparently the St. Patrick's Day Gods had a different plan for me.

I was on my way home and decided NOT to stop at Dunkin Donuts for my usual after-doctor-donut (it's a ritual I have for myself; a chocolate frosted donut after every doctor appointment). I decided going home and eating a banana would be healthier -- mistake numero uno. Then I was hit with the dilemma of taking either a right or a left to go home; either way would take me about the same time. I decided to take a right -- mistake numero dos.

The next thing I know, I'm plowing into an SUV of a mean old man and watching the hood of my beautiful baby Mustang crumple up and start smoking. The mean old man that I hit got out of his car and came up to mine and said, "Well THANK YOU." Yes sir, your welcome. You're totally right to think that the one thing that I wanted to do today was wreck my car and spend half the day that I had off of work and didn't feel well by messing with car insurance, Ford and Enterprise. So yeah, you're totally welcome.

This all happened at approximately 9:45 a.m. and after the cops, dealership and rental car stops, I got home a little after 1:00 p.m., too shaken up to just lay in bed and watch my Sex & the City DVDs like I'd planned.

I finally had my post-car-accident breakdown when I was home alone. I was, however, very proud of myself for not doing it in front of the mean old man and police officers and firemen (that had to come because the mean old man's old lady sister cried and cried about her neck and it seemed completely fake).

Worst St. Patrick's Day, EVER! I could use plenty of green beer right about now.

Wise words

"The most important relationship you have in your life is the relationship you have with yourself, because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself." -Diane Von Furstenberg, via: The City

Intervention

Dear Lindsay Lohan,

Please quit that fug mess you call your girlfriend and go back to the days of jumping in bed with men. You were much prettier then.

Sincerely,

Your biggest fan

Cocktails & Shopping - not a good mix

So on Saturday my roommate and I decided to go to Tijuana Flats for dinner and drinks. We got dinner and had frozen sangria, delish. I was finished with my meal and drink and she was still only half done with her beverage so I decided a second one was necessary for me. I still sucked that one down before she was done with round one.

We then decided it'd be a brilliant idea to head over to the mall just to 'take a quick look around.' Right.

As we walked to her car I started feeling a pretty strong buzz, probably from inhaling my second drink like my life depended on it.

When we got to the mall we went straight to Forever 21 and I tried on everything in sight and decided that I HAD to have a few items.

Moral of the story: do NOT drink and shop. 3 new dresses and 1 new top later, I'm back to being broke when I had orginally planned on really doing some saving with this paycheck. And no, I cannot return my drunken purchases because I bought them from the one place that does not allow you to return merchandise.

Simply sweet

I really enjoy finding new makeup, but I don't normally spend too much on it, except for the basics which must consist of MAC Studio Fix, Nars Laguna bronzer and Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara.

However, I do love love love eye shadows. I don't usually get to wear anything too exciting on my eyes at work, but when I go out I like to dress them up.

I came across the new line for MAC that is coming out March 19. It's called Sugarsweet and it looks so fun. Lots of candy colors and great shades for the Spring and Summer! The new eyeshadow shades sound really exciting and I think I'll have to invest in one or two of them. The Seasonal Peach nail color also sounds like something I'll have to try out.

Love affair

It's Britney, bitch

(While the above phrase is completely played out, it's hard not to use it when you're talking about the Queen!)

It all started at the age of 13. I remember in my YM magazine there was an ad for a CD by this girl who spelled Britney differently than I'd ever seen it before. I wondered in my head who she was and figured it was pretty lame that she had an ad in a magazine to promote her CD. (Seriously, I remember thinking all of this.) But it wasn't long until I heard "...Baby, One More Time" and it infected me. I needed more of this Britney Spears girl and I quickly bought the CD. Of course I could relate to every song, imagining my crush at the time while belting out "Born to Make You Happy" and "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart." So dramatic. I couldn't help but grooooove to "Soda Pop." I don't think you can call yourself a true fan until you've heard "E-mail My Heart" and still play the CD. I also loved all her videos. To this day, "Crazy" is one of my all time favorite videos; I always wanted that green top she wore in it.

Next came "Oops!..." and I was hooked. Britney Spears was on top of the world and that included my world. From her movie debut and all of her music, she was IT for me, because at the mature age of sixteen I related to her, as I, too, was "Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman."

The Dream Within a Dream tour was my first concert - one I'll never forget. The dancing, the outfits, the effects were all amazing.

Then came "In the Zone." My least favorite from the Britser. What was this "Touch of My Hand" and "Breathe On Me" nonsense? I loved the bubblegum, pigtail, pop music girl (as a sophomore in college I probably should have been over that phase) and she was becoming a Woman! I didn't like this. After that was the cancelled Onyx Hotel tour and the marraige to some bum and two kids popped out. Downward spiral, here we go. But, I still followed her, I still supported her - I never gave up.

Divorce came. I cheered! I knew she was totally going to be back to the days of a toned belly, catchy pop songs and brilliant dance moves. Those things didn't come though. Instead it was partying with Paris, showing off her Little Britney and clubbing the nights away. I remember when I first saw the photos of her shaved head - I panicked. Her meltdown wasn't in her comeback plans, in my mind.

Even throughout rehab, wigs, Osama Lutfi and Adnan, the crazy British accent, the fugg boots and stained clothing and the "Gimme More" MTV performance, I still supported her. I couldn't give up on my favorite female singer of all time.

Thankfully she slowly got her act together (Thank you Mr. Jamie Spears), and then came Circus. Ohhh myyyy gooooosh, what was this present to my ears? Every song, amazing. I could picture the dance moves and outfits for the videos. This was it, back on top!!!!

After weeks of reveling in the amazement of Circus, I was doing my daily celebrity stalking on Perez one morning and saw she was definitely going on tour. And coming HERE! Needless to say, tickets were bought ASAP. It seemed like the concert would never come and I was terrified that it'd be cancelled. But on March 8, she brought it hardcore and she was back. The show was Amazing. Life changing, one might say.

There are few people I have met that have the same passion for BritBrit like I do, and only they can understand it. Some sort of phenomenon I suppose. An infection that you can't get rid of.

I can't wait to see more from Britney and I know she'll be around forever, like Madonna but a million times better.

More words of wisdom

If you have a full time job and know you will be at work all day, do not have online purchases sent to your home. Send them to work. UPS is annoying and won't deliver on weekends so you will have to wait 3 business days to finally get a pick-up notice and then not be able to pick it up until the following weekend. All the while, you've been tracking this package online for DAYSSS, anxiously awaiting it's arrival so that you can try on your new treasures. It's heartbreaking.

A bit of advice


When your friend that you haven't seen in a year is in town for the weekend and you go to happy hour and drink as much beer as you possibly can before all-you-can-drink ends, do not then walk up to the bar with said friend and decide it's a great idea to take a very large tequila shot and then give the bartender $10 each.

More on this later.
