Hot Pink Stitches: August 2008

Friday

Splish, splash.

How freakin' cute are these?! In honor of the impending storms that keep heading my way, I will be splashing around in style. Notice the little wedge in the back--that's right, Wellies with an edge! And it's all thanks to Target.
And a shout out to my best lady, Jill, for telling me all about them. :)

Thursday

Plastic.

Um, yeah. Have some MORE surgery. And get more extensions while you're at it.

Daydreaming.

Brad/George: "Oh Elena, you're so funny!"
Me: "Aw thanks guys. You're a lot of fun, too."
Brad: "So, um, we were just heading back to George's villa...by any chance would you like to join us?"
Me: "That sounds great! Thanks."
My boss: "WAKE UP!"

Wednesday

Hmm, is something missing here?

Alright Corn Flakes, I get it. You're a family cereal. But did you have to airbrush the water over his nips? We all know they're there. You're not fooling us.

Are my lips pouty enough? No?

Maybe I'm not as shallow and vain as one would need to be to understand this, but what was wrong with what Heidi looked like before? She was pretty and looked like herself. Now she just looks like Malibu Bimbo Barbie, complete with matching "Kreepy Ken" Spencer. Soon she'll look like my fave plastic surgery addict, Sarah Burge. Ah, Hollywood.

Tuesday

Only two things to say.

1. Hmm, who really wears all that gold better? Mr. T certainly has the attitude, but I think Michael Phelps wins this one.

2. Why is Michael Phelps wearing a slinky red halter top? :)

shhhhh......

My secret is out. The perfect, most moist lemon cake is achieved by just using a regular 'ol box of Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme cake...just follow the secret recipe on the side of the box. It's way better than the regular recipe on the back. I guess my only secret now is that I drizzle it with lemon flavored powdered sugar icing.....dammit! There I go telling you my secrets again. Oh well. Munch munch, and enjoy!

Am I the only one?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks Katy Perry and Emily Blunt look a lot alike? When I first saw Katy Perry, I seriously thought the Devil Wears Prada meanie had turned to singing. Judge for yourself:

Monday

Boing.

So let me get this straight. You're telling me that had I applied myself while bouncing around in Lauren's backyard on her trampoline, I could be an Olympian right now? Sonofabitch.

P.S. Yes, this is actually a sport. Oh, and yes, softball is getting kicked out of the Olympics for having a dominating US team. Go get 'em, girls!

Not just jibber jabber.

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military courtfor a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.If you have a problem - if no one else can help - and if you can find them - maybe you can hire: The A-Team. ***bam bam bam bam bam bam bam*** ba pa da pa, ba pa paaaaa, ba dadadadada, paaaa dadadadaaaaaaaaaaaa (<---yeah, ok, that's me singing the music part. so what?)

We are, evidently, able to indulge in this childhood guilty pleasure (my favorite was Face. seriously, I was 5 and he was rico suave) on NBC. Thank you, peacock. Thank you.

Surprise, surprise

So, I'm really excited about this Rachel Zoe Project. I watched the preview episode the other day and was pleasantly surprised. She actually doesn't seem that bad and I really liked the looks she pulled together. I think that this whole time I've just been swayed by Perez into thinking "Raisin-face" was this horrible person. The dysfunction of her two assistants is hilarious and will prove to be worth watching. Plus, I've at least got to tune in and find out how long I can put up with catchphrases like "shutting it down" and "killing it."

Truth be told: I'm more than a little jealous of the clothes pictured behind her. *swoon*
