I’m a trip. I bite my nails, am slave to an unhealthy burrito addiction, always appreciate a decent pub crawl, enjoy dancing ridiculously off-beat, & hope you enjoy my blogs peaches :)

New Years, No Plans, What Now.

We’ve almost hit the twenty four hour mark on the countdown to 2008 and you’re still standing there scratching your head.
What the HELL will you do to celebrate?
No enticing invitations, no parties planned in the small town suburb you’re forced to revisit for an entire month.
Sure it’s home and of course it’s nice to be […]

Preggers: Piece of Cake?

Finding ourselves restless and deliriously ADD by Christmas night, my sister and I escaped our minimum security prison (i.e. home) for a movie date to see Juno, that new film with uber-talented Ellen Page, so-endearing-you-want-to-bite-him Michael Cera, and Jennifer Garner.
Anyway, halfway through the movie I realized how strange it is how much pregnancy has been […]

False, Fake, or Fendi?

Everyone knows you really, reaally, reeeeeally want that big black Chanel bag.
Your mother knows. Your boyfriend knows. Your best friend knows. Hell, your fourth grade piano teacher knows. And yes you’ve been nice (enough), Santa knows.
The holiday season is the best time to scratch our heads and think reeeeal hard about which designer bag we […]

Hot For Hermione

I don’t think Emma Watson has ever had an awkward day in her life. A measly eleven years old when the first Harry Potter movie was released, our beloved Hermione looked like a mini model.
Porcelain skin, little button nose, and even all tangled and teased her hair looked like it had been styled by Frederic […]

Happy Birthday Booby Trap!

Do your boobs hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?
Thanks to a little piece of wire, some lace straps, and cups (not the porcelain kind) this hasn’t been an issue for a century now.
Happy 100th birthday bra!
Vogue first wrote about bras in 1907, when they were simply around for function and comfort. Nowadays, even […]

When Did Prude Turn Into Pills?

In a college whirlwind of saucy stories, sexcapades, and scandals I guess I’m just a little confused. Women’s viagra??? Is there actual demand for that?
Alright so I understand that after thirty years of marriage things might uh, burn out… especially if your once abs of steel husband has steadily grown to resemble the Pillsbury Doughboy. […]

Crooked Monkey Junkie

Everyone loves a graphic tee. Inevitably hungover on a Sunday morning, it’s the perfect statement to make when you’re not so much in the mood (or physical condition) to make one aloud.
Remember during your awkward phase in middle school when you’d sport those Claire’s or Afterthought’s smart-a*s buttons or keychains on your backpack? The one’s […]

What to Do When Facebook Stalking Gets Old (…It Happens)

So you’ve just clicked through all 462 of your ex-boyfriend’s sister’s co-worker’s chiropractor’s daughter’s Facebook pictures. Besides your urgent need to get a life, next on the list is finding something better to do with your high-speed connection. You’re on CC, so at least you’re doing something right, but look no further than this blog, […]

Avoiding the No-No Neighbor

I don’t know how many times I’ve griped about the girls down the hall who pump heinous music at the most inconvenient times of the day, but we’ve all had a go of annoying neighbor syndrome.
So much so in fact, that one particularly skeeved neighbor decided to start a website about it.
Rottenneighbor.com is a site […]

Wanna Lose the Booze? Canned Wine!

Recently I attended a faaaabulous champagne party.
Sure, the champagne was five bucks a bottle (Andre!) and most everyone was either making out or hugging the toilet, but I still felt quite classy in my white dress and uh, red Solo cup of champagne.
It got me to thinking about the wide world outside of beer. Which […]
