A real peach of a show

So The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is a show that I have up until now successfully manage to avoid. Picture a show comprised of mostly women who spend money on designer clothes too tight for their bosoms. But the the latest two episodes "Kim-tervention and Unbeweevable" have been absolutely magical. I watch and I'm distracted by the tight clothes and entertained by the Jerry Springer-esque antics.

Some great quotes "I felt the need to tug on her wig, I didn't want tp pull it off, I just wanted to shift it a little"

If you were to only watch a couples of episodes these would be it!

Hilary Duffs Thats so gay! PSA

Thanks Hilary!

My Mom is a Fob

I have one of my own to share!
Today my mom asked me to take her shopping at ____. All I could decipher was something that sounded like "rejoice" I finally figured it out and when we got closer to a large sign, my mom says "oh thats the name of the store, Trendy Joys"
It was Trader Joes.
Pretty close, I guess to some it could be considered a trendy and joyful place.

Hello! Update! My mom again asked if could take her grocery shopping. This time she asked to go to Tracey Jones!

Coming to America is on tv!

Twice in a row, nonetheless! There are too many great quotes to mention here. All I have to say is this movie is ridiculous! Checkout this dress! Funny stuff. Definitely one, that if on tv I will not change the channel!

Prince Akeem: I am Akeem.
Lisa McDowell: It's nice to meet you, Akeem.
Prince Akeem: I have recently been placed in charge of garbage. Do you have any that requires disposal?
Lisa McDowell: No. It's totally empty.
Prince Akeem: When it fills up, call me. I will take it out most urgently.
Lisa McDowell: That's good to know.
Prince Akeem: When you think of garbage, think of Akeem.

Fascinating! Eric Hanson’s A Book of Ages

Here's a snippet, more on flavorpill:

“When I was in my late 20s I wondered if you could draw a roadmap from the accumulated events of people’s lives,” explains Eric Hanson

"His picks for some of the most interesting ages in cultural history:

AGE 3

Sigmund Freud sees his mother naked, 1859.

AGE 4

Mick Jagger meets Keith Richards, 1947.

AGE 9

Hank Williams learns to drink liquor while living for a year with his cousins’ family in Fountain, Alabama, 1933.

AGE 11

In 1934 Charles Schulz’s family gets a new black and white dog. His name isn’t Snoopy."

Whoa! I'm intrigued with these patterned nail films

The psychedelic happy daisy print is very reminiscent of Murikami

A goody! Straight from Nitrolicious's beauty report:
Designs are unlimited with Minx, it is made of film and not polish so they can be customized with metallics, personalized graphics, and photo-quality designs in flexible nontoxic film form. Minx is applied with heat so there’s no fuss with drying and smudging but the catch is it doesn’t last very long and rips off easily.

Its a bird, a plane?! Nope. A Black Star - and its falling

From Nitrolicious:
Or grasping? Who am I to say, that this fragrance is crap? :)

All the colors of the rainbow!

Rosenow Floral Design - has a great approach to giving the customer control over colors.

Some press from Daily Candy:
Select the I Like Color category and pick a monochromatic theme of pink peonies in a vintage milk glass, a lacquered rectangle filled with lavender pansies, or orange ranunculus mixed with yellow Billy Balls in a vintage wine bottle. Indecisive ones can take the Surprise Me option without shaking in their boots.

Its BIG in Japan

From the NY Times:
The paper bags actually constitute a market, and have been auctioned on the Internet for as much as ¥2,000 for a large-size Louis Vuitton paper bag. A Cecil McBee shopping bag, whose eye-catching logo is often emblazoned in gold — sells for as much as ¥800.

Some girls iron their bags! What?
“This is the bag I save for weekend dates with my boyfriend,” Ayaka says, adding that after each outing she irons the bag — after turning it inside out to avoid burning the logo. And then she folds it away."
