Early Christmas!!!

Play dress up with Orlando Bloom? I'm in! C'Ya!

The King of Sack Crack, B-Baby!

What do Jill Monroe and Jennifer Aniston have in common? They both find the following incredibly hysterical. (Warning: Not suitable for children, sweet old ladies, puppies, or Brad Pitt fans)

Guilty Pleasures...

Okay, I admit that on some level my YA book research is merely an excuse to validate my guilty pleasures- such as watching teen dramady's... so, as Hillary Duff sings, "I'm coming clean."

First off, I do like her and especially this song (mainly because it is the opening music to one of my other guilty pleasures) but I also like to make fun of her. I don't know why that is, maybe she just asks for it. I feel the same way about Brittney- I mean I like her, and I love to make fun of her. Is that so wrong?

So some of my other compulsions of late:

Veronica Mars- Wow- love this show, love Veronica, love her hair.

Laguna Beach- Yep I get the fake reality TV show and the teen dramady all in one show! And a Hillary Duff song- who could resist? Oh, and that Stephen guy whose only line appears to be "we'll see" reminds me of a Rick Springfield in his prime (and now my age is showing like a thong in a pair of cheap low riders, but I don't care. He was hot, I was there, and it's true.)

Rock Star INXS- Oh man, love it. I love music, all kinds- Barry Manilow to Marilyn Manson. You heard me, Barry Manilow- hey, Mandy rocks and I don't care who you are, if you disagree, you're just lying. She came and she gave without taking, what do you want-people- her soul? But I really, really love good re-mixes and RS is proving to have a few of those- Like JD's California Dreamin' and Marty's Mr. Brighteyes (Can I just say, I loved the sarcastic way he sang the first refrain- classic!!). I even grooved on whatsherfaces "Losing my Religion". But most of all, I'm crushing on Dave Navarro. Can the guy be any nicer? Carmen is a lucky lady is all I'm saying.

Juicy Couture- Just bought a purse that I'm way too old to have, but damn it, I love it. It's got a tie dye scarf. What can I say? I love the little bizillion dollar tricks Prada has even though they are a rip off. Heck, I'm just one of those people who bought the Louis Vuitton purse because it had a little brass padlock on it. "It's cute" I think was my justification and I stand by it. Now Cloe has one with a big padlock that's a dime and five, ouch.

Orlando Bloom- Okay, so I'm a total Cougar for lusting after him, but if loving him is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Coldstone Cake Batter Ice Cream- (with sprinkles) I think after a certain age, you are expected to have the patience to wait until something is cooked before eating it. Oprah even claimed that if you eat batter than you have something wrong with you, but then again she promotes books where the people eat dirt, so ??

So, there you have it. That's how I roll.

"Cuz the boyz in the hood are always hard
You come talkin' that trash we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life but to be legit'
Don't quote me boy, cuz i ain't said shit..."

About Last Night...

Okay, it was Saturday night, and apparently what happens in Reno does not stay in Reno.

And the award for bad taste goes to RWA... Celebrating 25 years... yes, I think a 25 years in review was a cute idea, even liked the eighties fashion show (the first limo). Would have been better if the Frankie Says Relax t-shirt wasn't worn by the 1990 presenter, but hey, I'm picky- it was my fave shirt in seventh grade (which would have been '84 ish if you're wondering). I thought the romantic Princess Di wedding stuff was about as icky as showing John Jr. waving from his plane (no, they didn't do that, I'm just making a point). Celebrating women- hmm, let's see- we had Monica Lewinsky, Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding... but no Amy Fisher??!! And what about that lady who drowned her kids, where was she? Yes, it was that depressing- but if we just slap on a Bobby McFerrin song, no one will notice, right? If I didn't know better, I might have thought this was done on purpose- a really, bad attempt at an indy Michael Moore-esq comedy noir attempt. But this will never play at Sundance, and yes should not have played at Reno. But, even as icky as it all was, I was more irritated by my feet throbbing after the two mile hike in three inch heels through the casino we were forced to go on.

Am I naïve in giving these people the benefit of the doubt? I mean, really, after the last scandal- the two people in love question- or the one before that- the graphical standards thing, or before that… I don’t know, I just joined, but it seems like a lot of stupidity for such a short time.

For more entertaining Reno moments: Stoney the cop and the Sombrero... can be seen here. Shortly after/during a sweet little soccer Mom showed up with Sex on the Beach shots and things got crazy.
