seriously? wtf?!?

weirdest thing i have ever heard in my life: billy corgan from the smashing pumpkins is now dating reality "star" tila tequila - from a shot at love with tila tequila. vomiticious. is it a publicity stunt? i'm just reallllllly confused. this guy is a rock god (basically)....he dated courtney love for pete's sake! and she is a trashy asian bi-sexual who whored herself out on mtv. mismatch much??

weekend!

happy saturday blog universe! hope you like my new look. it is temporary but it feels better than the christmas. i love christmas but it was getting to be a bit ridiculous that my blog was still chrismafied in almost march. hopefully i will have a new pretty blog design soon (hint hint sissy).

anyhoo....there are some things in life that are seriously unacceptable: colored leopard print, sharon stone dressing like a 19 year old, mullets and mom jeans. there is just no excuse. the other day i saw a woman in mom jeans and yesterday i saw a guy with a mullet. not ok.




took this the other day

pre-oscar fun

so this weekend - prior to the oscars i had some serious fun. first, my friend j and i went down to marina del rey and had lunch and took some pictures on the pier. i love how some of them turned out so check out below to see them.








in addition to the cool things we saw some not-so-cool things. first i saw this guy that i will call purple douche. look at his shorts, his t-shirt and his hat. he just screams douchebaggery.


while out picking up coffee the other day i saw this wonderful man. now, he was over 6 feet tall and he was essentially wearing purple booty shorts. totally inappropriate but obviously hilarious.


saturday night my two friends and i went out to a bar at a hotel. this hotel happened to be where the weinstein pre-oscar party was. it was amazing. there were people everywhere and it was a beautiful hotel. the party was upstairs and obviously guarded but we happened to have the best seat in the house. our table was in the corner facing the hotel driveway so we saw every person get out of their car and get back into their car. it made for some great moments. but the best part came when we were coming back from the bathroom and mickey rourke was leaving. he was kind enough to stop and take a picture so my friend and i both got one. i told him how much i enjoyed the wrestler so he 'choked' me in my photo. it's pretty great. and little did i know that shortly before the photo mickey had won the independent spirit award for best actor. if only he had won an oscar too.

bank of crazies

i was running errands with a friend recently and among the errands was the bank. well we are at the bank and what do i see......some wonderfully heinous clothing. it was a two-for-one special and it was glorious.
first we have the bank teller. i am loving the rat's nest on her head. it's beautiful. i wish i could do that to my hair. sadly, you are not receiving the full effect of her top. it sparkled. i have a feeling it was not costume day so my assumption is that these decisions are made on a regular basis.

then there was this lady. first of all, hair clips. oh god. second, her white patent leather booties. i love booties and i love patent leather but white is just not right. it's totally wrong actually. the entire outfit just doesn't work and reminds me of an eight year old girl dressing herself for school.

why would people do this?

my little sister s spotted this girl the other day. granted she is in middle school, but she went to school dressed this way. one, it was about eighty degrees outside and two, no one else was dressed up.

sometimes i just don't understand little kids. their idea is of funny is so different than mine. i would definitely not put on penguin printed flannel footie pajamas to make people laugh. i would probably bust this out....

i miss college.

oooh my little sister s also has these skills, in addition to hunting down those who are poorly dressed....

pretty cool......or not.

today my friends and i went to a fabulous exhibit at the los angeles county museum of art (lacma). it was the vanity fair portraits exhibit. it was several rooms of memorable vanity fair photographs and it was incredible. the exhibit started with huge black and whites of margaret thatcher and princess diana. there were also portraits of h.g. wells, george clooney, picasso and more. it was a beautiful exhibit.

here's some sexy for your day. enjoy...

so yummy

and this is what i get......

today a talked me into going to ross with her. i had never been before. i love tj maxx but ross is a bit too much for me. but she did find some cute stuff. i, on the other hand, found nothing.....well nothing, save for this mother/daughter combo in matching dresses. just kill me now okay??

why? why????

busy...busy...........dizzy

what a day! my bff a and i spent all day out and about. today was the day that she was going to get a car and she did! and she's very happy, so it was a great day. in addition to her finding a car i found a woman dressed in quite the get up. enjoy!

brown corduroy pants that were too short, black socks and brown leather clog things that had a tiny contrast trim and a brown leather jacket. too bad you couldn't see her sweater - it was black with pink flowers. so i must ask......why??

as you all know from many many posts i do not have a job. while being jobless i have thought constantly about what i want to do. i over think things a lot, especially things like this and i generally take it out on my jaw.....which i clench endlessly. the things i truly love and would kill to do i don't seem to be able - i.e. something in fashion or entertainment. it is impossible to get a break. i don't want to act or model or anything but i would love to style or do p.r. or advertising. i feel like i have so many ideas and they just sit in my head. i need a big revelation and i am hoping that getting my cset scores in a few weeks will help. whether or not i passed or didn't pass any sections will help me figure some things out. i really just want to do something that makes me happy. i am hoping that the planets will soon align.

i find myself talking about my blog a lot. i wish more people would read it. or if there are more of you out there please let me know you're out there! i love visitors! also, once i find that people read my wonderful blog i might do fun things as incentives. so, i find myself talking about my blot a lot....a told me that today and i laughed. i just really love it. and i think it's entertaining. i am trying to find ways to spice it up and make it fun. i also wish that i did more things so that i could write about more things. sometimes my life is pretty boring....sorry.

i am so excited....hopefully by friday i will have my new glasses! they are absolutely gorgeous and i love them. it will also be nice to have the proper prescription.


got some great random jewelry the other day. some necklaces and a ring. it was a good day. this is what i got........



i wear the black one as a bracelet. it's a great filler.

and this is what i want.........



fringe is huge for spring but i hate it generally. this necklace makes the trend wearable. and i love the colors. i love the ring. i have tons a couple black and gold rings but no white and gold. it's a great combo for warmer weather. the last necklace almost looks like an acorn and i think that's why i like it. it's pretty and the green is such a great color. i love a great necklace!

oooh by the way, baja fresh is the greatest thing ever. if you have one and have never been then you must go. if not i am very sorry. go find one.



question of the day: what is your favorite lunch meat (if you eat lunch meat)?
my answer: i personally have a serious fear of lunch meat.

lovely day

what a day! i spent today playing stylist to my best friend a. she just moved here and got a job and has to dress fabulously and she needed help. for some reason she trusts me implicitly with her fashion choices. i am obviously flattered and did my best to make her look amazing. i wish i could be a stylist for profit. any takers???
well, while she was trying clothes on i was waiting outside her dressing room and there was a mother who was doing the same. i glance over in her direction after a few minutes and see her practicing her ballet positions in the large dressing room mirror. obviously i snuck a picture to show you all.

she was doing some serious ballet - pliees included. why oh why?

i just found this video. so wrong. apparently she is promoting a scientology event and goes around calling people using the voice. interesting how there is no actual mention of scientology...


it is becoming blindingly clear to me that a job is just not on the horizon. i want it to be. and i try and try and try and nothing. i am told to call people about jobs and then get told by the people i am calling that there isn't actually anything available. i go in on interviews and get feedback that i am great and they love me but they aren't hiring. well, why do they bring me in on an interview?????? how does that make any sense? it makes me want to scream and rip my hair out. ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need to find a job soon or i am just going to completely fly off the handle.

ok, i'm calm now. here is some hotness.

look at those arms! oh em gee!! he has gotten hunkalicious. scar-jo is one lucky biotch.

sag awards sunday

right now i am sitting on my bed watching the screen actors guild awards. i love love love awards season! it's such a great time of year and the sags are especially fun because it's actors voting for actors. let's talk about the carpet first. red carpets are probably the thing i love most. i love seeing what (and who) everyone is wearing.

let's just start with the terrible and work our way up shall we....

what the heck was nicolette sheridan thinking?? that looks like a full length ice skater's costume. i'm dying.


2 things about amy adams' dress....1, is she hiding something with that cascade of ruffles? that looks like a bump. and not just a "i had a stack a pancakes, two bagels and all the rest of the carbs on the menu" bump, that looks like a particular bump that gets bigger and bigger as the weeks go by. and 2, i don't like said dress. it's ugly.


i hate angie's a little less. i like the color and the style is very "her," but she could have picked something a little more special and flattering. granted, i love her and she is beautiful and could wear a potato sack. hopefully she'll bring it for the oscars.


kate winslet looks incredible, that is a given. she is absolutely gorgeous and an amazing actress but i want to cut this dress off where the train thing begins. it is such a gorgeous color and she looks absolutely beautiful but the bottom makes me want to scream. also whoever has been styling her has been putting her in the exact same types of dresses....

not that she doesn't look hot in each dress but they are all similar, especially the grey and blue. i still love her but someone needs to be slightly more inventive.


anne hathaway gets five gold stars for the evening. she looks absolutely amazing and is by far the best dressed at the sag awards. she can do no wrong. praise the lord.

and now for the winners. i am shocked and pleased at the two big awards for the night, best actor and best actress. shocked because meryl streep won for doubt....i wanted to see kate win (again) but sean penn won for milk. that movie was phenomenal and sean penn was amazing in it. he became harvey milk. i would love to see him win and oscar but i just can't decide if he will or not. he hates the academy and the academy hates him. i can't wait to see what happens. i love the oscars.

i was out and about today and in my travels i and ran into some rather heinous stuff. particularly this girl. baby pink uggs, abercrombie skirt (circa 2000) and a bright pink super tight (and short) long sleeved shirt. i just don't get it. yes there are people that like this look but i personally don't understand the appeal. i mean, i love uggs. they are great. if it's below 65 you can basically guarantee i am wearing mine, but i don't wear pink (or any other 'colored') ugg. chestnut, sand and chocolate brown.....that's it. i used to have black ones but grew out of them and haven't bought a pair of them since.

her boyfriend also happened to be wearing pants that look like christmas pajamas. do people not look in the mirror before leaving the house? why??

i went to my favorite flea market today and i got super lucky. i have begun collecting records (and am asking for a turntable for my birthday) and got 3 today! i picked up: the beatles rubber soul and let it be and christmas with bing crosby. you know i can't resist a christmas record. i am so excited! and they are all in incredible condition.


amazing! such a great sunday!!

oh and here's a little hotness....love it!

helping keep the planet green, making amazing films and still looking hot.

fabulous friday

watch this!


also this (it's just so beautiful)

the two of them just had the most wonderful and intense chemistry. it's great to see a president who is so deeply in love with his wife. beyonce also did a great job and she didn't look hideous (which she usually does). so good job. but seriously, how hot are they together? i tear up every time.

sometimes i do not understand people. i see people wearing certain things and i just cannot stop myself from internally questioning some choices. that happened to me today. i saw a woman (probably in her mid twenties) and she had on a $1700 chanel bag (it was real), a horrible outfit and then these shoes. there is no excuse in the world for these shoes. they looked like they came from the mid-90s. they are an eyesore and need to be burned.

why?

then i am driving home (it's raining) and i look to my right and see a group of tourists taking a tour....in the rain. they have a guide and everything. one of the people was wearing shorts and flip flops. i get that you want to take a tour but is this necessary?? obviously i had to take a picture. while i was taking it one of them saw me. i was sitting in my car with my camera phone and laughing. it was so enjoyable.


this past monday ellen finally caught george clooney. during 2008 she had george watch 08 where she attempted several times to catch him and get him on her show. on monday she finally did it. that has inspired the hotness for the day. so here it is. it has also been made official that george will be getting back into his scrubs for the final episode of er. hotness. george doesn't need to be topless either. that's the beauty of being george - he is totally sexy with all of his clothes on.


the oscar nominations were announced yesterday. i don't think there were any surprises that were too huge but there were some interesting picks. i am first going to comment on the fact that kate winslet got nominated for the reader and not revolutionary road. also at the golden globes her reader nomination was in the supporting category and at the oscars it's in the best actress category....very interesting. also, robert downey jr was nominated for best supporting actor for his work in tropic thunder. seriously?? at least it wasn't tom cruise. that would have pissed me off. heath ledger was nominated for his brilliant portrayal of the joker in the dark knight. i truly think he will win. actually, that has inspired me to list my picks for a golden statue. so here it goes (only in the major categories):

best actor:
richard jenkins (the visitor)
frank langella (frost/nixon) - win
sean penn (milk)
brad pitt (the curious case of benjamin button)
mickey rourke (the wrestler) - 2nd choice win

supporting actor:
josh brolin (milk)
robert downey jr (tropic thunder)
phillip seymour hoffman (doubt)
heath ledger (the dark knight) - win
michael shannon (revolutionary road)

best actress:
anne hathaway (rachel getting married)
angelina jolie (changeling)
melissa leo (frozen river)
meryl streep (doubt)
kate winslet (the reader) - win

supporting actress:
amy adams (doubt)
penelope cruz (vicky christina barcelona)
viola davis (doubt)
taraji p. henson (the curious case of benjamin button)
marisa tomei (the wrestler) - win

best director:
the curious case of benjamin button
frost/nixon
milk
the reader
slumdog millionaire - win

best picture:
the curious case of benjamin button
frost/nixon
milk
the reader
slumdog millionaire - win

that is what i think. what do you think? i think that most picks are pretty solid except for best actor and best picture. best actor is going to be a tough category. frank langella and mickey rourke are the biggest contenders in my mind. i would love to see sean penn but he won't. he didn't show up when he won the best actor oscar for mystic river and the academy doesn't like that. no #2 for sean.

i hope everyone is excited for the weekend! i know i am! tomorrow i am going thrifting with my friend, he needs a bedside table and then tomorrow night i think i am going to a bar. should be fun and random. i know like 1 person, but hopefully my friend a will come with me so i don't have to be awkward and alone. that would suck.

historic

today was a historic day. we have officially sworn in our first african american president. our country has come a very long way in a rather short amount of time. hopefully as a country we can continue to make such great progress in all areas of life.

i was at the gas station today and i saw this woman wearing an interesting sweater. it was very intriguing, as the sweater looked like a 5 year old child has created it.

interesting right?? what are your thoughts?

here is some hotness for your day. the always sexy andy roddick practicing for the australian open shirtless. very nice.


so who watches the bachelor? i am loving it this season. there is so much drama! my favorites are melissa from dallas, jillian from new jersey and stephanie from alabama. stephanie's face scares me a little but she seems so genuine and sweet and her little girl is adorable. when her daughter came running up behind her on the beach i cried hysterically. that was without question one of my favorite bachelor moments. the two of them and their kids would be adorable. the one i hate the most is meagan. she is bitchy and seems fake. i would like for her to go home.
the united states of tara premiered on sunday and i absolutely loved it. toni colette is hilarious and the show started off very well. i am excited to see the final personality (alice) to come out, we didn't get to meet her on sunday.
i will say this once and that is it, i hate american idol. repeat hate. i don't understand why it is still on the air. the only good idols are kelly clarkson (obsessed with her new single, my life would suck without you! get it on itunes immediately) and carrie underwood. both are fabulous but every other idol has been basically unsuccessful. i love clay aiken but he didn't win. he has an amazing holiday cd.

here is something fun that jill did on her blog. i'm bored so i'm going to do it too. enjoy!
~open the book closest to you; turn to page 56.
~find the 5th sentence.
~post the text of the next 2 to 5 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
~don't dig for your favorite book, a cool book, or an intellectual book! Pick the closest.

here is my closest book:

and here is what page 56 has to say:
"what a disaster. the sex was okay, but for some reason i lost interest....or consciousness. whichever. i awoke to a blinding sunlight burning into the room at around seven a.m. this guy didn't even have blinds on his windows. this place was turning into some sort of torture chamber."

i haven't actually started reading the book but i plan on it tomorrow. i love reading and chelsea handler is hysterical so my guess is that i will seriously enjoy the book.

congrats!

so the globes are over and i must say i am pleased and shocked. pleased that one of my ultime favorite actresses won 2 (count them 1 and 2) awards last night. kate winslet won the first award for the evening for best supporting actress in a motion picture for her work in the reader and then later on in the evening kate won the best actress in a motion picture drama globe for her role in revolutionary road (which she was brilliant in). i love her. she looked beautiful. and i love how shocked and awed she was that she was up there twice. she deserved it. and her speeches! oh my goodness. she is so cute and i love how she thanked the two most important men in her life...leo then her hubby (sam mendes who directed rev. road). she is quite the talented lady. now, i was shocked by best actor in a motion picture drama. i haven't seen the wrestler but i heard mickey rourke was amazing but i didn't think he had a real shot at winning. i was sure it was going to be sean penn (for milk), frank langella (for frost/nixon) or brad pitt. i didn't think mickey rourke was going to get it. i equate this left field win with little miss sunshine's best motion picture win at the oscars two years ago.....totally out of left field. but either way, congrats to mickey and of course to kate and all the other incredible actors and actresses.



the sag (screen actors guild) awards are in two weeks and i am very excited for those. it is so interesting to see which peers actors think should win. it's nice that they get a say.

the other day i was out and about in my crazy city and my friends and i were in the car and all of a sudden we pull up next to a yellow (bright yellow) range rover. who would buy a yellow range rover? or would have a range rover painted yellow? i flipped and thought it would be prefect for the blog. we were then in a parking lot and saw another bright yellow car. apparently it was bright yellow car day.

why???


here are some cute pictures of my pup. she's a scruffy little thing and i love her. i also (clearly) enjoy dressing her up in entertaining costumes. this is my first foray but it is pretty funny.

lumberjack rups

christmas rups (those are minnie mouse christmas ears)

how amazing was gossip girl last night? the show doesn't stop. it gets better and better. how can you not love it?

jen and ben named their daughter seraphina rose elizabeth. i like rose and elizabeth...seraphina not so much. granted it is significantly better than some of the other hollywood baby names out there. congrats.

a has officially landed in la la land! i cannot believe she is finally here. and it's not just for a visit it's for real! hooray!!
