Hottest Ladies at the Olympics

July 31, 2012 3 Comments

Morning!

For your Tuesday thinspiration I’m going to show you the hottest chicks at the Olympics right now.

Let’s get real, we already know who the hot dudes are ALL OF THEM.  Jesus,  one of them even looks like Paul Newman, but how about the ladies? I think so often Olympians get a bad rep for being too muscular and mannish, but I wouldn’t mind having any of the following bods for my own!

Leryn Franco of Paraguay; Track and Field.
Antonika Misura  of Croatia;  Basketball

slukova marketa – Czech Republic Volleyball

Heather Mitts of US; Soccer

Marta Menegetti of Italy;  Volleyball

 

 
Now if you will please excuse me, I am going to go purge.
xoxo,

Girlfriend, the importance of eyebrows!

July 30, 2012 3 Comments

I did a post last week about how dudes love girls with tans, they just don’t know it.  But you know what makes ladies prettier than pretty? Great brows, and even if you don’t have them, you can fake them– it’s easy! But first, I have to prove my point, duh!

I hate Gwyneth Paltrow, but I have to use her as an example below because she goes from granola munchin’, vanilla meh meh to smoke show, all with the power of a filled in brow.

(OMG I won’t even really talk about those pinstriped wide legs, but HAHAHAHAH, I can’t with those!)

Anyway, I can’t deny, the lady is pretty– she has nice face, pretty hair, but she isn’t like boom, in your face hot here, even though she has a little bit of a golden glow, because her brows are almost non-existent!

Ok, now check her out here:

Victoria Secret hot in that one.  Still don’t believe it’s just the brows? Check this:

K STEW, reg brows, cat/smokey eye:

BAM BROWS, almost the same makeup!

So now what?

You need some brows!

The best way to do this, I’ve found, is with a brow pencil. I really recommend finding a girl at Ulta or Sephora who looks the least like a street hooker clown, and ask them to help you find one or at least the right shade.

I really like my NYX pencil that I wear in Light Brown because nothing is worse then filling in your brows to be a lot darker then they really are.  You have to use a color your shade, or even a little bit lighter, otherwise you can look like a total lunatic.

If you look at Gwyneth, even hers are light brown, just filled in, so they don’t look over the top at all. K stew has black eyebrows anyway, so hers filled in that color is fine.

I have very light eyebrow hair, so I go with Light Brown from NYX even though I am pretty dark featured, my brows are light!  My hair is pretty dark, and I have darker brownish/green eyes, and yet this is the right color for me.  I tried going darker and I looked scary.

You can get NYX at Ulta and I love it.

The reason this pencil is so great is because it has this brush at the back so you can comb through the color and you won’t look insanity.

So what I do, is literally trace a little on the bottom line of my eyebrow, and then brush the color up through my brows.

If you look in the mirror and you look crazy, you can just run a qtip through it to get that extra color out.

I pretty much do what Elle does in this video here, only instead of using powder, I use a pencil.

Also, if you think your eyebrows are too thin, they probably are! Just grow them out for a couple weeks, and then get them threaded or waxed just for the shape, specifying that you don’t want them too thin.  I finally achieved the eyebrows I’ve wanted my entire life, and learned how to do it myself– and it took about 17 years of practice, so be patient!

2012 Election: Do You Know What’s Going On?

July 30, 2012 2 Comments

I know politics are usually a touchy subject, and I generally don’t like talking about them because I never have all the facts or do enough research to be completely accurate.  I don’t like going into an argument that I can’t win, I have to be armed with the knowledge.  You want to talk about the Johnstown Flood and YSL tribute pumps during cocktail hour, bring it, you want to talk about American Politics, I’ll be by the bacon wrapped scallops and cheese tray stuffing my face and avoiding that convo all day.

With all that being said, I have to bring to your attention the 2012 election really quickly because I am in shock how many women don’t know what’s going on, and what could happen in 2013.

I am generally pretty conservative with my political stance, but that’s because I also think that social issues should have nothing to do with the government.  A women’s right and gay marriage should not have anything to do with sueded votes, we have men at war dying every day, the unemployment rate (me included) is out of control– there are just a lot more things we need to worry about over wether or not two men want to get married.  But unfortunately, that’s what the hot buttons are coming down to, and Mitt Romney is pulling out all the stops.

So woman, you need to read this.

If you elect Mitt Romney as president, he will take away abortion, INCLUDING the morning after pill which he has dubbed “abortive pills” maybe even in cases of rape and incense. He also wants to get rid of insurance companies having to pay for monthly birth control, which means your pills will cost you full amount, upwards of $100 a month.

So if you vote for Mitt Romney, you are voting to have the morning after pill no longer available, Planned Parenthoods to be shut down across the country which are affordable women’s doctors offices, not just a place to get an abortion, but also a place where you can check to see if you have breast, or ovarian cancers for free or little cost, your birth control to reach up to $1200 a year and he will make all abortions illegal, perhaps even in cases of rape.

Also, if you look at this timeline since being a political figure, he has flipped back and forth about abortion since 1994, some years for it, some years against it, so he clearly does not give a shit about women, just the vote.

Please just keep that in mind if not anything else.

I hope Lochte has a great salad dressing recipe

Dude looks exactly like Paul Newman and he better have a back up plan because looks like relays aren’t really his THING.

 

But being a smoke show is.

His team mate looks familiar too….

Won’t chip nail polish: Sinfull Color

July 30, 2012 1 Comment

Morning!

I survived Avalon this past weekend, barely, and had such a great time with my friends.  We took the boat out on the ocean on Saturday and saw a ton of dolphins, then drove it to Sea Isle to watch a little bit of a rugby tournament.  We got really tan, and then lost our minds at the white brier happy hour which was just as fun as I remember it, actually, the music was the best it’s ever been thanks to a new DJ that was blowing it up.  And I laid out every day around 8 am in the sand, played with crabs that washed up on the shore and even managed to get an open container fine by some of the rent a cops on bikes near the P, and yet, my NAIL POLISH DIDN’T CHIP!

Normally I am a snob for manicures.  I hate not having my nails done, bare nails are just not ok, but I also hate when my nails are chipped.  This leaves me with two options in the suburbs, get a $12 manicure once a week– umm, I’m on an unemploymentand page view salary at the moment, so that doesn’t seem like a good idea, or do it myself every day because it chips every day.  Lately, I have just been sucking it up and doing it every other day or so or putting on those Sally Hansen sticker things in regular colors, I think patterned nails are 2000 and late at this point, and it’s been hell.  It literally chips that night usually when I am doing the dishes and then I have to take it all off and start over again.

Until, I came across this brand called Sinfull Color.  I painted my nails with this jazz on Friday afternoon at my friends’ house, and after playing in sand, getting pulled over by the cops (really irrelevant, but I am trying to sound bad ass, but it was really because I littered a red solo cup in the bushes of the Princeton…) doing a couple dishes AND going out on a boat all afternoon, I didn’t even have a single chip until today!

I also made sure to do a top coat, and that I used OPI, so that probably helped, but still.  That is pretty amazing.

You can get it at walgreens for $1.99 and I highly recommend it.  I also highly recommend investing in a high end top coat like Essie or OPI or even the Revlon color last top coats are really good to insure longevity.

More to come, and stay strong through this horrific Monday!

Thank you readers and the Friday Round Up!

July 27, 2012 Leave a comment

It’s a good Phriday this weekend as I can take a deep breath and tell you all I’m participating in one of the best things to do in this country of America and that is I’m going to the the Jersey Shore, bbbbbitch. -Snooki before she became a fame whoring pig that I’m slowly starting to hate.

So I’m heading to Avalon after the work day is done, for all of those who have conventional work days (and that’s probably why you have a car and I do not) to embark on a weekend of debauchery that I haven’t been privileged enough to entertain since I too had a lovely shore house back in 2010. THE BONE YARD LIVES ON INSIDE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. (also, Lize, tell Kev that I sold my surfboard.  Wait, Kev reads my blog, hiiiii and swimming starts tonight, so excited!, and I sold my surfboard. one single tear.)

I stocked up on BLK for the recovery process and have already had 3 cups of coffee, so look out.

Also, tonight is the start of the olympics, so prepare to watch me wear an American Flag headband from now until closing ceremonies, because I am in the art field now, officially, and can dress however I want according to the following freaks, also in the art field that I will use as inspiration:

ANDRE LEON TALLEY, a monstrosity of the finer things, his outfits scream WERK! But not werk out, because if he did, he probably wouldn’t have to wear Kaftan’s because he might fit into something a little more form fitting. I love this hot mess:

Wait…that might actually be a Weeton Throw Rug being used as a scarf.

Donatella

And my personal fav. resident artist of crazytown: Isabella Rosellini

But anyway, it’s official, I’ve started representing some local artists in Philly and am trying to make it into a career.

I bet you can’t wait to see what I am going to start wearing when I own my own gallery.

I will probably look something like this:

But probably something more like this:

Point is, making things happen today, people!

Also, shout out and THANK YOU to my friends and readers who suggested the It’s a 10! hair leave in condtioner, I’ve used it once and my hair already feels longer.  And for recommending “Gone Girl,” so excited to read it!

yes this is my guest room, sorry NY, but suburbs are not THAT bad. Now who is coming to visit?

To all the other suggestions, they are on my waiting list on amazon.com and can’t wait to read them as well!

I’m about to walk to the train station to head to Philly, but before I go.  Lohan got into ANOTHER CAR ACCIDENT?

Will someone PLEASE get her on a plane to South America, get her a nice little 1,500 square foot house, lots of snacks– view of the ocean– some wine, vodka sodis, whatever she wants– TONS of Lanvin loungy dresses, dare I say Kaftans, twice in one blog post.  Flip flops and the really good cable package, with like ALL the channels, not just STARZ, on demand, DVR but all the good ones.  And just let her hang out there for a couple years.  Let her face float back to normal, let her dui’s expunge, let her live, then she can come back and say in interviews “HA! I know, what was I thinking?? I WAS A LUNATIC! Thank God for that year and a half in BELIZE!” and THEN give her movie roles so we can love her and be jealous of her again.

Because right now, she does look like a lunatic, and is in dyer need of a vacation in Belize.

Ok, I’m off!

And if I see you at the Princeton tonight, my dear friends, please feel free to say hello.  We both know you read my blog, and I’m ok with it.  That’s what I am here for.  I make MONEY off you reading it.  So click the ads, say hi, and thank you for reading, I wouldn’t be anywhere without y’all!

What are your plans for the weekend! Tell me in the comments!

Kisses!

Girls Dress to Impress Girls; They Tan To Get Guys

July 23, 2012 1 Comment

It’s no surprise girls dress to impress other girls.  Let’s get real, does your boyfriend really give a shit if your purse is a black leather, gold chain Rebecca Minkoff or a knockoff bag you got at Banana Republic? No– he might MAYBE say its cute if you are fishing for a compliment hard enough, but they don’t know the difference, or really care.  In fact, they probably like the cheaper one better.  They just want you to look cute, but they don’t really care what you had to do to get there.  Tanning, however, is a different story.

I’m not talking about tan mom or Snooki tans, those obsessions are on another level of crazy, and guys really do think that is disgusting, and to be honest, it really is.  I recently gave up tanning beds forever and I’m really happy about my decision– trying to achieve that with your skin is unreal.  Don’t get me wrong, I still love having a natural glow, and I’m going to prove that girls are hotter with a tan, and we tan for guys, not just ourselves.

This past weekend when I was hanging out with some friends, a Lady Gaga music video came on, and all the boys were talking about how disgusting she looked.  They hated her short hair, they thought she was too skinny, they thought her face was bad and pretty much on a whole looked gross.

So in a fit of protest, I told them all, if she was tan, they wouldn’t have thought that.  All of them disagreed saying how much they hate when girls fake bake, they hate when girls look orange and just think fake tanning on a whole looks gross and unnatural.  When one of them told me that I had a natural tan, I laughed because I had spray tanned myself every day that week and that morning put on bronzer.  The point is, they like the look of it they just didn’t even know it until I proved my point.

The video in question was Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro:”

 

So when I was able to find this picture with the exact same hair and also wearing in a bra– just with tan, they couldn’t believe how hot she looked:

They actually admitted that she never looked better than she did in this picture.

In fact, when you google image “Lady Gaga Hot” every single image that comes up on the first page, she has a tan.

 

I know guys don’t love short, hair, but in the instance, the hair was exactly the same, so that argument was shot down.  The number one difference was that in the one picture she was pale, and the other, she was tan.

Check her out here in a men’s magazine, Maxim.

 

What’s the first thing those guys did to her? Air brushed her down! And what designer makes that pleather mono suspender monstrosity of an outfit? Who cares!

Check her out here wearing couture in Vogue.

Could you imagine if you wore your makeup like this to my next happy hour with my boyfriend? He would  probably be like, let’s switch this to 9 PM, when no one will be able to see you.

I have a friend that spray tans a couple times a month, and she is always talking about how much more she gets hit on the day after she gets it done.  I was skeptical until after I got my first one and was so surprised with how many more cat calls I got in my neighborhood just walking to the subway.

So the point is, sure I will get called orange sometimes, or get made fun of for some tan spots on my wrist, but I know that deep down a little tan never hurts anyone, in fact, when it comes to guys, it actually helps.

Best Conditioner for $2.99

July 23, 2012 1 Comment

I’ve recently swapped my happy hours for coupon clipping, and my yoga classes for running at a high school track and for all those who think they could never leave New York, you can, and it’s not half bad.

In my recent week day activities, I have rediscovered a discount grocery store I was always too much of a snob to go in.  When one of my uncles told me one of his products was sold there, however, I was like, why the hell am I being such an elitist? That same week, while I was getting my daily dose of forbes.com, I saw Aldi on the billionare’s list and thought if this family is this rich off of one store, it can’t be that bad.  So I googled the closest one and dragged my boyfriend there who was also apprehensive.

So for the most part, it’s all dry goods and frozen stuff, and they have lean cuisine comparable meals that are good and only 1.99 for hardly any calories, and their flavored seltzer are so good and only 59 cents as opposed to a dollar at all the grocery stores.  That’s all fine and dandy but then I remembered one time my mom tried this conditioner when I was in high school from there and it blew my socks off.  Considering I don’t have access to my discount beauty store in NYC where I used to get my Nexxus hair products for 75% off, I thought why not.

It’s called Lume– on the back it says comparable to Biolage. And let me tell you.  It smells exactly like Biolage.  I mean, 100 percent, if you just close those eyes and breathe in, it’s Biolage.  And it leaves your hair so soft it’s insanity.  Actually, I used it for the first time on Wednesday of last week, and all of my friends noticed how different my hair looked when I went out.  I dye my hair, use a brush on it all the time, and it never really grows past my shoulders and it’s already so much shinier.  I know there is an Aldi in Queens for all your New Yorkers, you could make a day out of it– going there and the mall and then Chinatown or something.  Just trust me, it’s incredible and worth it.

My other hair tip for shiny hair when curling it is to brush it with a thin bristle brush, or round brush a few times before you use the iron on it, instead of a comb.  It will make the curl so much shinier, no idea why. Never was good at science.

 

Have a good Monday!

This weeks edition, least I’m not THAT crazy

Remember when I showed you all Martha Taking her dog Gangis Khan out for a Waldorf salad?

Now she’s seen here open mouth kissing her new kitten.

So just when you think your life is a little outta sorts, remember that Martha Stewart owns a multi million dollar company and is still a lot crazier than you.
