I was just checking
out instyle.com to see their Look of the Day, which was this:Now, I can take or leave Christina Milian (though sometimes I lean more towards leave), and I don't generally condone satin as a dress fabric, nor am I fan of puffed sleeves, but I think that this is a cute dress. Granted, the ruching across the boobs is weird, but it's got a nice structure to it, flattering cut, fun color, etc. Which is why I clicked on the link next to it which said "Get the dress" and was linked to anthropologie.com.I like Anthropologie -- I've gotten a WICKED cute cocktail dress from them before, which I dearly love despite it needing crazy amounts of alterations because their size chart is whack. So I don't blame them for the below. But who at InStyle thought that this dress was a close match to the above?! This dress is made out of CORDUROY! When did corduroy become a close cousin to satin? And where's the structure, the detailing? Basically, the only thing I se Read more:Conspiracy

I know I've been sporadic
(at best) with the postings lately, but that's because as of the 26th, I will no longer be living in London. *tear* So I've been trying to get my ish together and be ready to move when the time comes. Which leaves me busy at work and busy at home. When I get back to the States, however, I'll be unemployed so I'm sure there'll be time aplenty for posts!

Aaaaand...I'm back! It's been entirely too long since I updated this blog, I know, and I'm quite sure that my already limited readership has dwindled to approximately nil by now, but I thought it was time to start posting again.I'm back in the States now, and have an entirely new job. All the changes in my life, plus a few which are looming on the horizon, are making me think I will change URL and title of this blog. Because, to be perfectly honest, while I still yearn for the life of a lady of leisure, I simply don't have the time nor the inclination nor the energy to hunt down and capture a rich husband, thus ensuring my future as a trophy wife. So I'm open to suggestions for new names. Get creative, get insulting, but don't get vulgar. This here is a classy blog!

I just read Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster (shut up, I know I'm behind.). I highly recommend it. It has some hysterical scenes and it's well written so you really feel for the author (it's a memoir about her life after she was laid off).Read it. Love it. Visit her website. Read more:Bitter

With This Boy?Maurice
Clarett was arrested (again) on Wednesday morning. Police used a stun gun to try and subdue him but because he was wearing a bullet proof vest they ended having to Mace him!"Officers used Mace to subdue Clarett after a stun gun was ineffective because the former Fiesta Bowl star was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, Sgt. Michael Woods said. 'It took several officers to get him handcuffed,' Woods said...Even after he was placed in the paddy wagon, he was still kicking at the doors and being a problem for the officers.'...After Clarett was placed in a police van, officers discovered a loaded rifle and three loaded handguns in the front of the vehicle, Woods said."I have two words for you: Crack. Baby.No, wait, I have five words for you: Is. Whitney. Houston. His. Mom?Haha, yes, much funnier!

Preferably a Simpson. Working Girl is one of my all-time most favorite movies ever and not just because Joan Cusak is hilarious and Harrison Ford is a gorgeous, charming man. But also because Melanie Griffith actually does a really good job and the move is super cute and IF YOU HONESTLY DO A REMAKE OF THIS MOVIE, AND HAVE IT STARRING JESSICA F-ING SIMPSON, THIS WILL BE PROOF POSITIVE THAT AMERICAN CULTURE AND SOCIETY HAVE NEITHER TASTE NOR SENSE!If this "movie" is made, and if it's starring Jessica Simpson, and if you go see it, I'll hunt you down and brand you with a scarlet D for DUMBASS!

C'mon Sadie!
I'm not ashamed to admit it: I freak... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 C'mon Sadie!I'm not ashamed to admit
it: I freakin' LOVE The Bachelor! There's something so pop culture-ly delicious about watching a group of women who are old enough to know better compete for air time and the attention of some random guy. I love seeing them make total asses out of themselves. And they deserve every snarky, hateful comment that comes out of my mouth when I watch that show because a) They're willingly themselves in the situation and therefore deserving mocking merely because of that, b) They all obviously have daddy issues and if there's one thing that the American Psychological Association has taught us, it's that mocking girls who throw themselves into demeaning situations in the desperate attempt to gain the fickle love of a random man will cure them, and c) They're dumbasses!That said, my favorite girl, thus far, is Sadie. I hope she wins. She's so cute, all "I'm saving myself for marriage" (meanwhile you just know that there's some boy from her ne
My Political Soapbox Rant
I've taken a second job... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 My Political Soapbox
RantI've taken a second job doing data entry because I'm truly horrible with money and I love love love spending it so I need to make some more of it. I've only been there for about two weeks now, and I can't stand it because it's a sweatshop, but it's given me a lot of insights into human behavior and the evil of politics.I'm not sure if the company (whose name I can never remember because it's just a bunch of initials and I'm not sure it actually stands for anything) is actually owned by the RNC, but since I've started all the data that's been entered has been campaign donations. Various Republican party members, and sometimes the party itself, have sent out these massive mailings to people across America requesting more money to help fight the Democrats.My major in college was International Relations, which was chosen because, as an interdisciplinary major, I had to take classes in Econ, Poli Sci and History, thereby eliminating the need to choose j

won Project Runway last night. What bullshit! I don't give a crap about "innovative" designs inspired by "Japanese ghost stories." I want clothes that are flattering and beautiful, not deconstructed and make a statement. I'm so pissed.I'd wanted Michael to win, but I have to admit, I wasn't that impressed with his designs. Entirely too many hot pants. But he's young and talented and popular. I'm sure he'll be successful.I liked Laura's designs the best. Her final dress was GORGEOUS and I wish I could find something similar.

And since we all know that your mom had the foresight to force you to sign a pre-nup before you were married, you should be able to escape that little debacle you call a marriage fairly unscathed. Granted, it took her two years and two kids, but she's finally wising up! Good for her!

my absence
, but I've been locked in the sweatshop of my second job and haven't had a moment to myself; when I manage to get out of traffic and make it into my house all I want to do is eat some Reese's mini peanut butter cups and either zone out in front of the TV or collapse in my bed.Speaking of TV, Monday's Bachelor was a funny episode. Why the hell did Desiree keep calling Tequila "tequilia?" Idiot. And it didn't help her either; she got axed! My girl Sadie's made it through one more round, which I'm happy to see, but so did Evil Lisa and I'm not pleased about that. Why are men so blind? That's my question. Why are men so blind and actually fall for the shit we put out there? All women can see through one another's acts immediately and yet they don't have a clue. But moving on...Agnese also made it though, which I find ridiculous. Why, eh, do you, eh, want to, eh, es-speak with someone who no, eh, es-speak you language FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?! My God,

I love this movie! It's got great costumes and it hilarious. But the best part? Millie is determined to marry her boss and live happily ever after. That's exactly what I should be doing! I need to get a job somewhere, have a rich handsome boss and marry him. Obviously you can't just find these guys at the bar. So thank you, Millie, for pointing me in the right direction!

Okay, so I am totally
empathetic to Anna Nicole Smith's situation. It's so sad that her son passed away and she has my deepest sympathies. Seriously.That said, I find this whole situation with her baby daddy -- whoever it actually is -- to be hilarious. At any other time I would speculate as to what kind of crazy-ass weirdo actually wants to lay claim to fathering her child. I'd also mention how unsurprised I am that Howard "K." Stern has claimed he's the daddy and managed to get Anna Nicole to participate in a commitment ceremony (it wasn't a wedding ceremony -- it wasn't legally binding) because, as anyone who ever saw her show knows, that man was obviously jonesing for her hard-core. Why else would he be with her constantly? He apparently had no other clients, that's for sure. And most disconcerting of it all? That man looks CRAZY!

Left!I'm sad to say, next Wednesday will be the last episode of Project Runway. I'm rooting for Michael!And speaking of Michael, did someone get a new tattoo on their neck?? I couldn't really see what it said, but I don't remember seeing it before. And Laura's apparently married to some really crazy old dude who I would have thought was gay had I seen him on the street with his leather mini backpack and oxford shirt unbuttoned low enough to allow his grey chest hair to spring forth. That said, they are obviously loaded because their apartment is huge and her engagement ring is ginormous! Seriously. I don't really even like emerald cuts but I envy her that ring. P.S. I bet Jeffrey DID get outside help! Stupid man with no chin and a dumb neck tattoo.P.P.S. I'm still rooting for Michael to win, but I'm most excited to see Laura's collection. It looks gorgeous and just up my alley. Which is slightly disconcerting, considering how I've been accused of h

Sunday night saw the season finale of Flavor of Love and then Monday was another episode of The Bachelor. It was like a one-two punch of "reality" TV goodness!Let's start with Flavor of Love: Enough has really already been said about it that I don't need to go into detail (plus I'm a little behind because, to be perfectly honest, I can't stay up that late to watch TV and still get up and go to work the next morning so I actually watched the final episode on Monday afternoon) but I just want to put it out there -- I'm glad Deelishis won. I don't think anyone will disagree with me. New York is a bad-weave-wearin', drama-inducin' PSYCHO. Luckily, we haven't seen the last of her and apparently she's gotten her own show. On which men compete. For her hand. HAH! I admit it right now, I am MOST CERTAINLY tuning in to that program!The Bachelor had a lame-o Read more:Pop Culture

?I just got the J.Crew catalog
last night; I hadn't shopped there in years since I thought their clothes were getting uglier (embroidered lobsters on your pants? Gross. And if you thought they were cute you should be shot. SHOT!) and it's all overpriced anyways. But then I had to get some work pants back in September, so I stopped by and found a cute pair. And then I was flipping through the aforementioned catalog and I saw this:Am I crazy for thinking that this is a really cute jacket? There's something about it...I think it's the ruffles. And I might even like that little 80's-librarian-neck-ribbon thing it has. Or I might cut it off. I haven't decided yet. But I'm leaning towards putting this little puppy on my credit card.I'm also really liking this kicky little velvet wrap dress. Comfortable enough to wear around, but the velvet adds a festive touch. It's like something you could wear to your neighbor's Christmas party.And coming back to the crazy, I'm going t

In the past four months I have:1. Found myself an internship in sports marketing, thus taking that baby step towards getting myself a full-time job in that field.2. Moved back home.3. Found a place so I can move out again! (Yay! Out I go come January!)And a few more things here and there, but as far as I'm concerned those are the best things. Read more:Update

I hate this for various reasons, including (a) I hate having to play receptionist, (b) there's no one else seated around me so it's pretty lonely, (c) everyone can see my computer screen, thus limiting my surfing time, and (d) I have a direct line of sight to the men's room across the hall. Seeing every man as he goes in and out of the restroom has led to entirely too much knowledge of their bowel and bladder workings and leads to much awkward brief eye contact. As I've watching the comings and goings (hah, get it? Goings? I'm so punny! HAH! I did it again!), I noticed a man I took to calling the Office Cutie. I knew he worked somewhere on the building floor and he appeared to be my type -- dark hair, bright blue eyes, broad shoulders, stocky build...and best of all, every time he walked past the door he made eye contact with me and we exchanged brief smiles.I live

to 2007. Thus far into the year I have accomplished the following:1) I managed to get through three days of my internship without doing--no joke--a lick of work. 2) I have somehow managed to lose about $100 in my checking account. How? I have no idea. I regularly balance my checkbook, I don't carry cash, and yet the balance on the website and the balance in my check register don't match. 3) I've moved! I've rented a room in a single family home already occupied by 4 other women. Moving in consisted of me going over with boxes and my parents freaking out over the room's cleanliness (it was fine, they're just freaks) so they spent the next few hours vacuuming the carpet and repainting the walls. 4) I've joined a gym and, in the three days which I've been a member, managed to work myself into excruciating pain BUT I also managed to make it through an entire Abs Express class!5) I coerced my dad into buying me a new laptop. It's so pretty.6) Made a N

, Some Things are Turning Out RightI think it's safe to say that this world is going to pot. Countries are fighting wars, poverty abounds, there's still no cure for cancer, AIDS, even the freakin' flu. And this being a typical hump day, I didn't get out of the house on time, got to work late and had nothing to wear. So my work week hasn't gotten off to the greatest start and it's proceeding per usual. Plus the Pats lost on Sunday and I'm still depressed about that. (WTF?! I mean, we had the game for 58 minutes. In the last minute, one of the worst defenses in the league finally steps up and makes a play? Christ! Where's the justice?!)That's why I was so pleasantly surprised this morning to come across the following two articles. The first article is regarding AirTran's decision to remove a couple and their crying toddler from a flight. The three year-old wouldn't stay in her seat for take-off and was misbehaving to the point of delaying the flight for 15
