I had originally started to this post as a wish list of items I wanted for Christmas, but after this crazy, long ass 4 days which felt more like weeks, I think what I really want/need is some rest.  This coming from the person who took a 5 hour “nap” today. Still, I needed to regroup my strength because after today. No days off for the rest of this week. Got my orientation on @ Buffalo today. Seems like its gonna be a pretty chill place, excited for the new environment. I officially start tomorrow. Hope I am not a complete spaz out there. 

The following was supposed to be posted on Thanksgiving. Pardon the delay…

Why is it after you eat after a night of drinking, your body freaks out? I thought eating was supposed to be a good idea. Haha, I guess this is what my youth is for, to have nights of tipsy stupor, getting my temper worked up, and dancing better than when I am sober. haha.
…moving on…

Happy Thanksgiving!

I give thanks everyday, but since to day is THE day to give thanks, I must say I am thankful for everything in my life, the good, the bad, the struggle, and the success, the tears, and the laughter. I am thankful for all the wonderful people and animals in my life.

So I was watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and it seems to me that, at least for that event, Thanksgiving is more about Christmas, or rather the prequel to Christmas, cause most of the floats were Christmas themed, and the parade ends with the arrival of Santa Claus. So basically what they are doing is telling you to put a move on it and get to shopping. So in that spirit, I will try to inspire you to spend your money. While giving the boyfriend gift ideas

Sorry to vent but, if you know I am with someone for almost 3 years, why are you still all up on them??!?!?! and if you don’t know, why you steady talking shit????!?!?! ughhhh… I need  some nicki minaj for this one

“these bitches so cranky, give them a hanky…”

This year’s Pirelli Calendar, shot by the infamous Terry Richardson, featuring a slew of topless/nude models. Innuendos galore.

Men, should really thank Terry Richardson. Without his work, I do not think this type of photography would be deemed acceptable in society. I am sure there were other risque photographers that pioneered this style but for my generation, its Terry.

Bad Bitches.

 Freja never dissapoints

Oh excitement, I love when new publications come out. Especially when this one is co-founded by one of the masterminds behind Lula mag, A favorite of mine. Definitely wayyyy different from Lula but just the fact that they have my ultimate girl crush Freja in it is enough for me. 

I have not fulfilled my magazine addiction lately due to lack of funds for those “un-necessities” unfortunately the shitty economy is finally hitting home. But on the bright side I still have a job and I am about to get a second one. Fun eh? I hope so. I think almost everyone is going to be getting baked goods and Lottery tickets this Christmas hahaha, But at least I will give it with love. That’s what it’s really all about anyway right? Well, that is what I will be telling myself. So to fulfill my lack of pretty visual stimulation I have been looking online. Gotta love the web and it’s abilities to bring you free entertainment. Diorette Scans is a great site for editorials from French Vogue. Here is a recent one from the November 2009 “Fur Play” editorial feat. model Raquel Zimmermann

Here is the controversial Demi Moore cover photo for W magazine. Everyone is making a big deal about the photoshop alleging that part of her hip was “cut off” in an attempt to make her look thinner. I think it is just the way she is standing but whatever. I will not argue however, with the fact that her face was definitely photoshopped. But what I was really looking at when I saw this was the styling. I love.

Oh how I love metallic fringe shoulders. Oh Balmain, how I love thee.

and this image, I just remembered I had pulled a long time ago. Not sure where it came from. Google maybe?

Heavy Hitters; Kate and Naomi

Going to get my haircut on friday and hopefully walk out of there with my hair looking like Kate’s. Which brings me to my next point; my hair is growing in curly all of a sudden. Not that this is a bad thing, I just don’t want to look like a crazy with half curly half straight hair. Whatever, this is not a big deal, there are babies starving in the world somewhere. Anyway. Oh yeah, let me share with you a fabulous quote from Ms. Moss, ” Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” I keep trying to tell myself that Kate, however food really wins most of the time, lol. 

…You have a big ass. Must you remind us in every video??

Not gonna lie, I kind of like this song. The video kind of left me confused, I am not 100% sure what the concept was supposed to be other than Beyonce playing dress up and shaking her ass all over the place. My favorite look is the chola pin up girl steez she had with the alien(?) shirt. Also, can I please re-enact that dance sequence she does with Lady Gaga? So dope.

Can’t say I hated the video and can’t say I loved it, definitely wasn’t bored by it.

Enjoy all the booty.

p.s I  cannot wait for FameMonster to be released. 

This was so hilarious to me.

I have these amazing vintage loafers by some brand called “Nickels” I love them, they look like old lady/old man shoes but in the classiest way possible. However, I have been yearning for a pair of Stubbs & Wooton loafers but they can be quite pricey, I just discovered the “bespoke” option on their website and here are a few of the design combinations I came up with

For the emo boy/girl inside all of us...I love how the colors look together

Favorite

The Monogram, but imagine it with LB or LMB… I will probably daydream about these for the rest of the day
