Monday (yeah, I know it’s Tuesday) Mashup: Foreshadowing the Future

By Kirsten|November 30th, 2010|Monday Mashup|

Strange things happen when I peruse the internet looking at Google images… I start out looking for one thing and then I land on some type of gold mine. For instance, today I was still feeling ultra slothy and was Googling images of these cute little mammals. Then I tried to decide what celeb looked like a sloth. Mischa Barton, obvs.

As I scrolled through pics of Mishca, thinking how pretty she used to be when she was just Marissa on the OC, I realized she had a striking resemblance to someone other than a sloth:

Tell me I’m wrong. I dare you. Mischa looks so startlingly similar to Kirstie Alley in this photo that I feel like I’m slightly psychic. Is this what it feels like? Weird. Anyway, Mischa and Kirstie share more than just similar faces. Both have battled with fluctuating weight and both love to swap between blonde and brown locks. I’m gonna go ahead and let you guys vote… though I already know the outcome (I told you I’m psychic):

Btw, it is complete and utter coincidence that I’m currently watching Cheers (the Rebecca era).

I’m on Vacation… Except Not Really

By Kirsten|November 30th, 2010|Uncategorized|

So, as you may have noticed, WhyDid has just reached a landmark of both 500 posts along with a second birthday. While it may appear that I partied too hard in celebration of such momentous events and didn’t bother posting today due to the hangover from said partying… you’d be wrong. I just decided to take a miniature mental vacation. After spending the past five days in Monterey visiting family and spending quality Thanksgiving family time, my head hurts. I also think I’m getting sick. Hey, it’s cold up there!

Couple that with trying to pick a wedding date/venue, arrange a trip to NY to capture my dream dress/move out of my apartment there, juggle family Christmas time, and plan a festive New Year’s Ever. My brain is fried. Do you know how mentally strenuous trying to arrange friends and estranged family members into a cohesive seating chart is? Wedding planning is hard work, folks!

So, while I lay in bed today, eating pasta, collecting bed sores, and discussing how thin Marisa Miller is, I decided that I did not, in fact, feel like writing a blog post let alone, actually getting out of bed today other than to retrieve Sour Patch Kids and cranberry juice. It also became abundantly clear, that if I were to be an animal, it would most likely be a three toed sloth. I’ve been told I “lack a sense of urgency” so that sounds about right.

Anyway, this week is just going to have to be a day behind. I’m moving at a sloth’s pace and it feels great. So, sit tight, and we’ll be back to the regularly scheduled program shortly. In the meantime, do not forget to vote for WhyDid’s favorite outfit winner:

500 Posts and Two Years Later. Thank You.

By Kirsten|November 28th, 2010|Uncategorized|

When I wrote my first post two years ago, I had very little knowledge of blogging, but had quite a bit to say. I started writing as a creative outlet as a disgruntled employee crunching numbers on excel sheets and placing re-orders on Hanky Panky thongs. Originally, I had wanted this blog to be completely anonymous so that I could simply talk about tragic wardrobe malfunctions without suffering any backlash. In reality, I had no idea (and doubted) if anyone was even reading. Writing was just something I really enjoyed and had forgotten how much so. Then something funny happened. People would tell me they really liked something I wrote. They started suggesting I write more. People were reading and paying attention to what I wrote.

About a year ago, I wrote a few posts that were much more personal. They were about me. When I did this, people responded. They were the most viewed posts written up to that point. I realized that I had more to offer than just making fun of ugly outfits and bad hair do’s. WhyDid has grown into something more than I ever could have imagined and I am so thankful to have people reading what I write and actively participating in what I do. Whether you are a loyal fan, friend, stumbled upon the site after Googling cameltoe, or just someone who hates WhyDid and reads it to poke fun, I want to thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you.

That said, I asked you guys to send in photos of your in your favorite outfits. I received some awesome photos, but have narrowed it down to the top five (with a special bonus entry). Now, it’s up to you to vote on your very favorite! The winner will be announced next week.

1. Paulette from New Zealand

2. Lauren from Santa Monica, California

3. Katie from Orlando, Florida

4. Elizabeth (and dapper gentleman friend) from New York, New York

5. Sonja from Los Angeles, California

And a little something extra for you, ladies….

6. Andrew from Toronto, Canada

Why Did You Wear That: Natalie Portman

By Kirsten|November 26th, 2010|Celebrity Style|

Explain to me why a girl who is so young and so pretty insists on dressing like an out of work librarian? I get it. She’s not one of those Hollywood party girls. She’s smart- and I respect that, but that’s no reason to look double, or even triple her age. Recently, photos of her wearing only a thong were leaked on the internet. I have to say, it was the best I’ve ever seen her look.

Exhibits A, B, and C:

Friday Frocks: Yipes Stripes!

By Kirsten|November 26th, 2010|Friday Frocks|

Yeah, I know you just chowed down on mass quantities of food and pie so the last thing you feel like doing is sliding into a striped frock. However, I’m totally digging these linear looking dresses. I’m thinking that some of the crazy pieced together striped frocks will totally hide the second helping of mashed potatoes. Try one of these out for your after Thanksgiving celebrations:
