has the princess reclaimed her throne?

the original princess of pop, miss britney jean spears is back and i must say that i have missed her!

last night, after/during/before the jersey shore shittiest piece of crap on tv , her new video for hold it against me premiered. i just caught it this morning and i am both impressed and left wanting. brit looks hot, no doubt about that. the close-ups of her face are gorgeous and her extensions look flawless (thank g-d!). but when it comes to the dancing, her moves aren't tight. she is no longer the britney from baby one more time - which we get flashes of in the video. she looks good, don't get me wrong, but the dancing didn't seem on par with the britney of yesteryear.

you can check out the video here

i do, however, LOVE the homage to rocky horror with the bright red lips on black. and the video in general. jonas akerlund, the director, did a phenomenal job.

what do you think? is it britney's best?


peace & love

i'm a gleek and i'm proud

i have always been fascinated by those with great talent, and the cast of glee is no exception. not only are they all incredibly talented but the show is insanely addictive. it is a fantastic melding of amazing music and social commentary. they have some pretty amazing ways of dealing with homosexuality, bullying and general high school drama.

my favorite characters have to be brittany and santana. the two of them are brilliant. on this week's episode, santana came out with this gem after she comes to school dressed like rachel in a pleated skirt, sweater with a carousel horse on it and knee highs, "i look hot and smart. i feel like michelle obama." she said the following to one of the guys on the show, "i'm giving you full visitation rights to the twins that reside on my rib cage."

now, brittany's golden nuggets of brilliance are completely ridiculous and amazing. such as, ''did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?...yeah.'' fantastic. and my all-time favorite, "you're pretty much the only guy in this school I haven't made out with because I thought you were capital g gay. but now that i know you're not, having a perfect record would mean a lot to me. let me know if you wanna tap this."

thank you santana and brittany, for your continued brilliance and witty anecdotes.



yep.....i'm a gleek.
are you??

chicks dig sports too...

that's right! we do. well, at least i do.

sports have been known to cause me great anxiety, heart-burn, aggrevation and so much more. no matter how many times i have seen my teams fail i will never stop believing in them or loving them.

with this love also comes great hatred.....for my rivals, that is. there is nothing like a university of arizona game day where our opponant is the arizona state sun devils (aka scum devils). my younger sister is a sun devil and we have started an amazing family rivalry. it is definitely one for the ages.

with these rivalries comes a fair amount of smack-talking, one of my favorite pastimes. i do, however, take issue with those who dish it but can't take it. as well as those who don't talk smack until after they win the big game. i would like to call that un-unsportsmanlike conduct. you can't have it both ways. i recently had this discussion with my little sister prior to our big rivalry football game. i was playing with her all week, talking up my team, and she never said a word. then game day came and her team beat my team by a single point (a bad field goal kick) and she would not shut up. she called me 8 times in a row and texted several times as well. not cool.

it definitely makes for interesting conversation
are you a house divided?


peace & love

completely and totally....

shameless!

who watches it? it is unquestionably my favorite new show and adds some serious fun to sunday nights. between the constant drama on housewives and the constant drama on big love, shameless is the delicious bit of fun my sunday needs.

the show centers around a dysfunctional and highly likable family living in present-day chicago. there are 6 kids total, ranging from not even 2 years to just over 21. fiona, the eldest, is the family's rock. their father, frank, is an alcoholic who moved out of his house and into his son's girlfriend's house because he is currently in a relationship with her mother. the mother, joan cusack (!) is brilliant. she is agoraphobic and anyone that enters the house must immediately remove their shoes and put them in a plastic bag. she is also a sexual sadist.....which just adds a little spice.

such fun! are you shameless?

on a side note, this is my 100th blog post!! kind of exciting. is anyone out there to share it with me? if you are, hello! welcome to my blog. kick back. relax. take your shoes off. enjoy yourself! that's why i'm here.

peace & love

obsession

my newest obsession are these amazing sally hansen salon effects nail polish strips. you can get them are most drug stores in the nail/makeup section.

they come in a variety of colors and designs (i am obsessed all of the funky different designs - butterflies!) and go on with little trouble. it can be slightly difficult at first, because like anyone who appreciates a good manicure, i want them to be perfect....but once you get the hang of it you're done in a few minutes. and the final product is totally worth the work.

i currently have the fishnet looking ones on my nails

completely and totally obsessed. and going on day 5 and they are still perfect.

which one is your favorite?

peace & love

well hello there.....

happy valentines day singles awareness day february 14th, all.

wow! it has been a-while. have you missed me? didn't think so.

i would like to thank my sissyface for the new (and totally fabulous) blog design. simple. streamlined. chic.

so there is only one topic that is truly appropriate as my first post after such a long break.
three words: born. this. way.

via

have you heard it yet? yes? good! if not, immediately go and download it via the method illegal website of your choice. it is truly epic.

only lady gaga has the ability to make a song that is both socially relevant and a booty-shaker. it really makes you want to get up and dance.

and now for my favorite lyrics:

"whether life's disabilities
left you outcast, bullied or teased
rejoice and love yourself today
'cause baby you were born this way."

i was born to be brave!
peace & love

i wanna do bad things

anyone out there a true blood fan? i am! i always look forward to it and am never ever disappointed.

i particularly enjoyed the season premiere when eric was having sex with the new stripper and they showed the beautiful vampire fully naked from behind....very nice. twas rather enjoyable. apparently we'll get a little more of it later on this season...

i also loved when sookie walked into fangtasia and pam (my favsies) hits on sookie and goes "how did you know lavender was my favorite color?" pam is one feisty bitch. i am definitely a fan of hers. i love her one-liners.

in last night's episode we finally meet alcide the werewolf played by hottie mchotness joe manganiello

yumm

this show just keeps getting better and better....

best. week. ever.

well, good evening. do you come here often? i used to, but it's been awhile. however, i feel like once again becoming a regular.

this week has been rather epically wonderful. i got a promotion, an iphone 4 and the new season of entourage all in the same week. it's kind of incredible. the question is, which one is the best.

obviously the promotion is good. no sense in questioning that. kind of excited.

entourage is also pretty fabulous. i really only watch it for ari and lloyd. their relationship is the best thing since jack and karen on will and grace. one of my favorite moments between ari and lloyd occurs earlier in the show: lloyd walks into ari's office in a rather flamboyant and hilarious outfit. ari looks him up and down. lloyd then goes, "do you like my outfit" and wiggles him hands showing off the printed sleeves of his sweater. ari then proclaims, " you look like michelle kwan in drag." and of course the moment when ari declares that lloyd is his "gaysian" and that he "fills two quotas".

i think i am going to have to say that the iphone is probably the highlight of my week. keep in mind i went from a first generation iphone (not even 3g) to an iphone 4, so i am especially thrilled. not only does steve (my iphone, named after mr. steve jobs....brilliant son of a bitch) go very very fast, but his camera zooms, his video shoots hd and i can video chat with other iphone 4 users....amongst other wonderful features. steve is also very sleek and handsome. i love him.

i'm sure my sissy face will be very happy that i am blogging once again. she has been asking when i was going to start again...and i decided that now's the time.

that's all for now, friends. come back soon.

it's the most wonderful time of the year

merry christmas and (hippy) happy holidays, friends.

by now, with my severe lack of postage, i doubt there are any readers but i am going to post anyways.

i recently resigned from my job because i found a new one and timing had it that i ended up with two wonderful (and much needed) weeks off. my two weeks basically started yesterday and i have decided that i am going to craft the time away.

my first project, candy to go with my holiday cards, failed. the molds i used for the candies smelled like silicone and the scent, no matter how long i soaked or how hard i scrubbed them, would not go away. i was so bummed. they were adorable.




my next project went significantly better. i made my own wreath! i am completely obsessed with it and it is now hanging on my door.
it was a lot easier to make than i thought it would be. i just bought a plain wreath at michael's (as well as all my decorative accents) and used floral wire to tie everything down.
i wanted something a bit more simple and with a vintage feel. they had a bunch of random bouquets of twigs, and other things so i found ones i liked and ended up cutting them apart and using each piece of the bouquet separately.
i also bought a bunch of spiral twigs, cut and attached them and then put dabs of glue and sprinkled silver glitter on them to give them a little sparkle.

it was definitely a fun project.










now i'm doing a puzzle. i haven't done one in forever and i am very excited. so far, so good.


i also plan to organize my room, download lots of music and blog.

will keep you all posted on the progress

tacky tuesday is back

tacky tuesday is back. it's been gone, but it's back and it is back with a vengeance (that word is hard to spell).

this photo is from either 1989 or 1990. either way it is frightening. and i mean scarrrrrry.....enjoy.


and thank god i was not old enough in the late 80s and 90s to wear this crap - granted i got stuck in plenty of awkward matching "sister" outfits - but this is scary. it is like an ice skater's costume mixed with a wedding dress in vegas mixed with an opera gown. not a good combo. i don't even think we need to comment on the hair. let's just say it's sexy and be done. ha.

hope everyone has a tacky tuesday.

sissy day!

happy birthday to my sissy!!!



happy birthday to you!
happy birthday to you!
happy birthday dear sissy!
happy birthday to you!

if i could, i would get you

i hope you have an amazing birthday sissy and that all your wishes come true. i love you soooooooooooo much!!




xoxo (lil) sissy
