best advice ever
Orchestrate a situation (without making it seem like an orchestration) where you guys are all together at a time you think you will all get drunk. Like, drunk drunk. It'll work itself out from there. If they don't drink, then I can't imagine them being fun to hang out with, so you should just fuck the roommate and then peace on them both. If you don't drink, then maybe you should, if you're having problems like this. Happy holidays!

things i wish i had said to clinton from what not to wear but didn't because i acted too cool for school
-adam goldberg. at my coffee cart. every day.
-anna sui at film forum. october 30.
-clinton kelly from what not to wear. today.
so i have an unspoken agreement with myself that whenever i see celebs or ["celebs" ex. anyone from a reality show, anyone in a band] i completely ignore them.
[case in point: bjork, uncle karl lagerfeld himself]
today when i saw clinton from what not to wear i walked on by but now im kicking myself...mainly because i have some prevailing unanswered questions that i believe mr. argyle sweater would be able to sort out for me. mainly:
1. what is clinton and stacy's collective opinion on vintage/secondhand? they always seem to show disgust towards anything that isn't a total 'classic' wardrobe staple. going by their theories, none of us would be considered 'stylish' even though our demographic is what provides inspiration for many designers these days [the proper term is 'trickle up fashion']. so theoretically, if stacy and clinton were to come to bedford avenue on a saturday, they would be appalled, right?
also, it is a proven fact that these two despise 'mom jeans.' what would they say when they explore popular fashion trends of the moment and discover that high waisted jeans are all the rage?? this is important. i need to know.
2. ok this doesn't directly relate to clinton, but why does nick arrojo [the haircutter guy] always give the worst soccer mom coifs?
3. what happens after the first round when the makeover subject goes shopping on her own and inevitably buys all the wrong shit [ie miniskirts when they're supposed to be looking for a-line knee length ones]? they only have a limit of $5,000 so if they spend $3,000 on the first day, and only half of the clothes are good, do they have to return the rest? help!
4. this one is for megan:
what brand is that weird airbrush on make up that carmindy uses? and where can we buy it?
ok clinton, im after you now.
you must live near here, right?
help me solve these mysteries!

I'm kind of annoyed i didnt think of this first
Punk House features anarchist warehouses, feminist collectives, tree houses, workshops, artists’ studios, self-sufficient farms, hobo squats, community centers, basement bike shops, speakeasies, and all varieties of communal living spaces. In over 300 images of fifty houses in twenty-five cities in the US, photographer Abby Banks finds the already weathered face of a seventeen-year-old runaway; the soft hands of a vinyl junkie (record collector); the mohawked show-goer; the dirty dishes in the sink; silk screened posters on the wall; and many other revealing glimpses of these anarchist interiors.

douchiest celeb quote of the day 2
“It’s a funny misconception with her. People always think she’s really angry and she’s really mad and she really hates everyone, and doesn’t care about anything, when the thing she cares about most is her fans and her music.”
- Avril Lavigne’s husband, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, tells the Edmonton Sun.

marc jacobs shop employees- they're just like us!!
i was in the marc jacobs shop on bleecker the other day having a browse at ovepriced, overhyped clothing, totally in a daze..when all of a sudden i heard something familiar coming from the overhead speakers...
i looked up to witness the 3 manorexic, holier than thou store employees FINGER POINTING and singing along to kid dynamite!
i started singing along to myself.. [i can't believe i remember the words after all this time! i have to go search secondhand bins at record shops for the cd since mine is in a basement on long island somewhere]..anyway where was i? oh yeah..at what point do you think these guys decided to trade in their texas is the reason tshirts for mj sports coats?
anyway it was fun watching the rich old ladies look confused and crinkle their noses at the 'racket' that ensued. it really helped clear the snobbery from the place..more high end designers should look into hiring ex punk kids to work for them!

unfunny 'comic'/talking head: "he bought richard dreyfuss' old house!! he has a million jobs and is on tv and the radio 24/7. he's going to be in hollywood forever!!"
me: "holy fuck he totally is!..haha richard dreyfuss!?"
so this man is literally the new dick clark, or, if you prefer, the dick clark of our generation. he'll really be here forever. like, when we're 47 he'll be hosting new years eve times square no doubt. so then i, obviously, became really interested in him. did i mention i was high? anyway, i was like.. hm, it's pretty weird that he's everywhere on tv and shit and i don't know anything about him "personally" except for those really fucking unfortunate pictures where he was kissing teri hatcher and those were fucking gross. so i wiki him and begin to read.
Ryan John Seacrest (born December 24, 1974) is an American radio, television personality, and anchorman. Seacrest is also a former children's game show host, who gained prominence as the host of the reality television talent-search series American Idol. In 2004, he joined Casey Kasem the host of American Top 40, and he has co-hosted Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Dick Clark since 2005.
omg boring!! can you even read that??? i can't! nah, just kidding.. i mean, i read like three more paragraphs but totally couldn't read anymore cause i remembered that i didn't give one little shit about this dude. i'll let him host my e! shows and say witty things to simon and interview boring celebs while standing on red carpets but i mean, i guess that's as far as our relationship is gunna go. either way, ewwww:

empire waisted tales of woe, part 2
BABY BLUES
THE HIDEOUS TREND THAT MUST BE STOPPED
By FARRAH WEINSTEIN
June 19, 2007 -- I am not pregnant.
Will everyone please stop asking me?
It’s been enough to give me a complex, the whispers, the questions. At first, I thought I must be putting on pounds. Or because I recently married. Then, catching myself in the mirror one day, I realized the truth:
It’s these damn baby-doll dresses.
For the past season, the fashion industry has foisted poofy, flouncy dresses on the female population, and for the most part, we’ve bitten. I bought a pink baby-doll at Ooh La La in Long Beach, L.I., that was cotton with an adorable eyelet pattern on top. It was cute, comfortable, reasonably priced, but most of all - forgiving.
I kept eating. And eating. And eating. No jean zipper to worry about. No stomach to stick out. No problem. Wearing this dress, I ate about 2,000 calories more than I normally would. That’s the joy of a babydoll - it can hide a lot of flaws.
It also creates one major flaw: Every woman, no matter how in shape, looks like she’s smuggling pillows.
At the MuchMusic Awards over the weekend, Hilary Duff wore a beautiful billowy dress that made the waifish singer look like Tyler Perry in disguise. If a wee pop idol can’t look good in one of these, what chance do I have? I’m convinced the whole Nicole Richie “pregnancy” buzz is simply gusts of wind.
But it’s the fashion industry, dazzling us with cool colors, snazzy prints and get-out-of-here graphics, that is really pulling the silk over your eyes.
I beg of you, ladies. Don’t feed into it. It’s unflattering. And men don’t like it.
“It’s 100 percent a girl thing,” said Alison Brod, a 37-year-old pr firm owner, who is expecting her second child.
“I’ve been pregnant twice in 12 months. They’ve been in style both seasons. It’s all I wear. What’s funny is I used to yell at the girls in my office to dress up more. Now, I have 50 girls running around in baby-doll dresses. It’s so easy for them to throw on that they all wear them every day now.”
Her husband, on the other hand, is not a fan.
“Most girls look fatter in them,” he said. “Guys do not like baby doll dresses.”
Michaelangelo L’Acqua, a doorman at Dune nightclub in South Hampton, says the baby-doll trend is “huge” right now but if a girl wants to get in the door, she’s got to have the right body to wear it.
“It all depends how a woman carries herself,” he said. “If they’re short and squatty, it usually doesn’t work for them. But when a girl is around 5-foot-9, it’s a very sexy look. When you look all the way up the legs, it is hot.”
Michaelangelo also misses checking out all proportions of a woman’s frame.
“I like ass,” he says. “I like all types of asses and a pair of jeans that really contours to it. I’m not going to hate on baby-dolls, but nothing beats a good ass.”
The trend is not dying, either. Designers like Nanette Lepore, Cynthia Rowley, Tibi and Juicy Couture all carry the baby-doll dress. Shoshanna, Jill Stuart and Alice & Olivia are already working on babydolls for next season.
“Everybody wants the baby-doll,” says Jeff Goldstein, owner of Blue & Cream boutique in South Hampton. “I think it’s sort of an expression of the tone in the air. It’s not as serious, sexy and sultry. You can dress it up, or wear it with wedges or high heels. People in the Hamptons are totally embracing that freedom.”
Still, he would rather see women want something “revealing.”
“But girls are immature, and they wear these things because people tell them to do.”
Alright, then. I’ll tell you what to do - hang up the poofy and buy some shorts. Get a belt. Anything to stop New York from looking like a walking collection of Peeps.
As an example, I returned one of my baby-doll dresses to Zara, refusing to be conned by the fashion industry and knowing I would never wear it, even though it was adorable. At the register, a woman next to me asked if she could buy it because there were none left on the floor.
Sure, I smiled and handed her the dress to look at.
She was pregnant. It seemed only fair.

empire waisted tales of woe
I was wearing a totally comfortable, non clingy, brightly colored, fancy free, not a care in the world, i'm going frolicking in the park type of summer dress...I went to hand over my two bulging at the seams laundry bags and the woman who owns the place [who has seen my dirty underwear on several occasions now] looks down at my midriff and the following conversation takes place.
laundry lady with no tact: 'you are pregnant?'
me: uhhh..no.
llwnt: (leaning down and staring at my belly) REALLY?
me: NO. it's probably just the dress.
llwnt: (still looking down): oh...(totally convinced that i am lying)
Seeing as I was almost in tears, I fought the urge to say something to the effect of "that's really rude" and swallowed my pride, walked out of the shop, bewildered, and went home to stare at my mid-section in the mirror at every possible angle.
Ok, so I do have a bit of a belly, as I do enjoy eating sweets..but pregnant? That's a bit extreme.
From now on I vow to:
1. do at least 100 situps a day
2. wear the safe from pregnancy rumors, but not quite as comfortable as empire waisted, shift dress
3. burn all of the tented, shapeless offenders before the urge to wear them again strikes
exhibit a: the offender
look! it's gisele! she could wear anything, literally, and it would look good on her, and this is kind of unflattering, no?
exhibit b: the safe choice.
there will be no mistaking me for preggers in this one.

to cut, or not to cut?
i like the length. and i want to keep my side part/bangs of course.
this may be a bit shorter than i'm thinking, but i like this a lot. this girl is really cute, her name is agyness deyn and i guess she's a model.
i'm really embarrassed to be referrencing posh's style, but take away the way too dramatic front razor-edge bangs, i'm into her shorter hair. not into her fashion choices.
basically, i just want to look like this girl. she's from sweden, of course.
here is a recent picture of me with my hair up so you can get an idea of how i would look. notice the neck. it sounds way dramatic, but seriously, it's a huge scary decision for me.
i need all of your detailed input.

spotted: perfect bathing suit
bloomingdales. $158.00
i can't imagine this not looking good! and it's really cute and classy and hides a good amount of what needs to be hid but because of the strapless top it's not like, too much, you know? and i love that it's white, although within five minutes on me it will most def be stained with coffee. is it worth $158.00?? i have no idea. this is the scary thing about having money and not having to pay rent/food/utilities (thanks dad).. i totally could afford this, but should i?
here are some other options, also mad loot.
option 2: Our Exclusive Gottex Skirted Bandeau
bloomingdales. $89.98
i like the shape but i'm not totally amazed by the colors/print. it looks like outer space but in a weird, off-setting way. like outer space on a bad acid trip. or outer space drunk for the first time, wobbling around making the other universes uncomfortable.
option 3: DKNY Draped Swimsuit Dress
bloomingdales. $112.00
eh, decent. i like how the bottom looks but that's about it. and it's so plain and basic that if you took like $100 bucks off of the price, i'd maybe be like "hm, maybe." donna karan has some balls.
option 4: Juicy Couture Metallic Stripe Ruffled Maillot
bloomingdales. $168.00
kind of cheesy but also kind of cute. it looks fun to wear you know? like i imagine myself playing frisbee in it but somehow in my dream i can actually throw and catch the frisbee, not drop it / miss it each time and have to slug my lazy ass all around the field picking the fucking thing up.
option 5: Juicy Couture Beach Skirted Bikini Bottoms
nordstroms. $65.00 (bottoms only)
if i actually continue to "work out" (term used very loosely) like i have been, maybe i'd go for a two piece. and if i were to go for a two piece, i'd maybe go for this one. my problems with two pieces are usually the bottoms. i always feel like i have to wear shorts you know? and i don't want to anymore because it's just not the ideal beach day when you have soggy, wet cotton falling off of your ass and stretching out and smelling weird. anyway, i like these. they are a good alternative to the boy shorts bottoms. the one piece is cute too:
but i'd want the draping to hide a little more vag.
HAPPY SUMMER!

thoughts on desperate housewives...
so, i have watched seasons one through three of desperate housewives consecutively over the past few months. some issues i had with the portrayal of characters on season two were more than accurately written about by none other than, jennifer l. pozner on her blog in 2006. you can read her article here: http://www.wimnonline.org/WIMNsVoicesBlog/?p=162 i am now seven episodes away from completing the third season and want to share some of my new found concerns. if you're not a dh fan, i apoligize in advance. anyway, in season two when andrew is all OOC or whatev, his conserv parents are primarily not down with the fact that he's gay. well, when he comes back from living on the streets and PROSTITUTING, bree is totally cool with him and all like, "OH ANDREW, YOU'RE SUCH AN ANGEL" (even though he fucking tried to blackmail her and destroy her life). but in order to regain his place in the family, he totally compromises his sexuality! like after he comes back, they NEVER talk about him being gay and his boyfriend is totally out of the picture, even though that dude was actually really good. this show plays into so many reagan family values/basic instinct kinda shit. like for example, nora, tom's baby mama is a threat to the perfect, idealistic scavo family and what happens to her?? SHE DIES! andrew can be gay, and give blow jobs for money but if he just becomes asexual and forgets about his attraction to men, justice will be restored on wisteria lane. although, i'm not sure what's gonna happen on the last several episodes, i do know that danielle is now the slut. can't wait to find out what happens to the illegitimate baby!! ps - there's a book called "reading desperate housewives: beyond the white picket fence" and i bet there's a chapter discussing this exact same thing. most likely written by pozner (fucking monopolizer) amazon customer review: "I bought this book as a fan of Desperate Housewives. It is, however, inappropriate for most fans. It is a collection of 17 essays on DH, primarily feminist writings. I slogged through three essays and gave up. They seem to be well-written, but they were just too academic and dry for me. The chapters are (1) Culture, (2) Sexual Politics, (3) Genre, Gender, and Cultural Myths, (4) Narrative, Confssion and Intimacy. All of these topics are of interest to me, but I still couldn't handle the writing style and content---just too dry and frankly, boring. If you are looking for very serious, academic writing, and are a DH fan, you could potentially enjoy this book." hahha is it bad that that review sounds really appealing to me? UPDATE: literally a few hours after writing this, andrew casually told lynette that he was "doing the soda delivery guy" for the pizza place her and her husband own. there goes my theory |

ebay dismay
Thursday, May 31, 2007
this is the best ebay auction i've ever seen
Vintage early 80s Tankini - the first one ever made!
I saw this 3 piece Tankini in Bloomingdales Juniors dept in 1984 so I bought it for my trip to Fiji - way before "Survivor"! I think I paid $24.00 for it. It was rather 'Punk" for the time, and I was in my Punk phase with two-toned hair that I usually spiked, but not sightseeing Fiji. This wonderful Tankini attracted the attention of three awesome dudes, one from Canada, One from New Zealand and the short one my favorite - from France -oh-la-la. Check out those short shorts! Back then there were no real bridges over rivers, the last photo shows the car we rented going over a so called "bridge" of planks. Real Survivor living before it became popular!
The Tankini has lasted in very nice condition - at least the 2 top pieces. The bottom is stretched out and cannot be worn. It is a cotton knit - hot pink stripes with heather grey. Size 5/6 but will also fit a small built medium - has some stretch. This is a very Unique bathing suit from the Punk Rock 80s.
Smells clean $5.00 Shipping requested ..

apparently this bible verse is:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
i have no idea what that means because i'm pretty sure nothing in the bible means anything but WHAT THE FUCK!! WHY? i think it might mean that if i don't believe in jesus, i'm going to hell (big surprise) or something, right? like, correct me if i'm wrong but WHAT??!
i did some google searching and apparently in-n-out burger has been using this subtle form of evangelizing for years. this is so completely creepy and disgusting to me.
pic (s) of the day
ok paranoia... i worry about the fact that there's no water in the pool, but you don't think any of them are actually going to jump, right? i mean it's kind of cruel if you think about it, it's obviously hot out and they are so close to the pool, they're even wearing BATHING SUITS but they can't go in? they all look amazing though, i want the stripey swimsuit on the far right.
oh HELLO random 1960's babes without a care in the world. can i trade lives with you?
ok if proof ever existed that i need to start a fashion line, this is it. i would call these overalls 'spirit fingers'.
imagine if uncle karl and andre leon talley were the president and vice president, respectively?
it's too brilliant an idea to even toy with.
this is in honor of the fact that i got picked up by sailors this past weekend. i totally wanted to do the jitterbug with them.
this sassy mama was the star of some 1970's tv show. LOVE the glasses, hair, and thermal shirt.
these guys are totally my idols. imagine if our crew rolled with a dog like this? FIERCE.

business ideas
2. paparazzi for tourists: people walk in and pay like some ridiculous amount of money to feel like a celebrity via paparazzi styled photo shoots. there's this huge wall with automatic cameras aiming at a red carpet for them to stand on. or we could change the background to be of them sitting at the ivy or walking down the street if they want the shots to look like they are candid. we could green screen this shit and go buckwild!! each camera (maybe there's like 15 of them?) would take about 20+ pictures each in about 2 minutes so they'll be able to see the crazy wall of flashes the celebs must see.. there could be cardboard cut outs of celebs to pose with or people could just pose with their friends. maybe there's fancy dresses people can put on too! then they pick their fav pics and get their own "in touch" cover made with whatever headlines they want. COME ON!! we could even airbrush them! i think this could be huge in new york/la in the touristy areas. fuck it, it could be huge in oklahoma. i'm kind of dead serious about this one.
more to come...
