WhyDid’s Gift Guide: Quick Fix

By |December 24th, 2010|Gift Guide|

Um, whoops. Forgot your sister? Maybe your cousin who you haven’t seen in a while? How the hell did you let that slip your mind? You really suck at this whole “Christmas” thing, huh? Luckily, I’m here (again) to save the day. Here’s a few last minute/quick fixes for your holiday mishaps.

Scratch off lottery tickets. Everyone’s a winner as far as I’m concerned. Just remind Uncle Tom that you did buy him that ticket if he just so happens to strike it rich.

A memory. Find a photo of a special moment in time. Print it at the nearest Kinko’s and place it in a frame. Don’t have any photos off hand? Steal a great one from Facebook. I knew it would come in handy for something other than stalking at some point!

Cheers! You can probably still pop into a liquor store and pick up a delightful spirit. Pick something special that you wouldn’t use for Wednesday night “pre-gaming.”

Just relax. Everything’s going to be fine… as soon as you hit up the closest drugstore and pick up all the essentials for a luxurious at home spa pedicure.

Half baked. Okay, this may not be the most original idea on the planet, but desperate times call for desperate measures… and by measures, I mean, get out your measuring cup. Try my all time favorite recipe.

Get crafty. If you have some smidgeon of artistic ability, making something is a great option. Try these cinnamon bird ornaments from Martha Stewart.

and you’re welcome.

Friday Frocks: Dress the Part

By |December 24th, 2010|Friday Frocks|

If there’s one theme we should all be able to get behind, it’s gotta be the beautiful holly berry red of Christmas.  You can totally pull it off without looking absolutely ridiculous and it’s a hell of a lot better than those wretched “ugly Christmas sweater” parties. (Who thinks- better yet participates- in such things?) Anyway, why not get into the holiday spirit by slipping into something that would make even Santa smile? Besides, you’ve gotta find something to put on with those cherry red lips.

Munchin Monday: Stripped Down

By |December 20th, 2010|Why Did You Eat That?|

As many of you know, I hate Vegas. I’ve now been there twice. The first time I fell asleep at the hot spot du jour both nights. Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed. The second time I went was actually last week for the grand opening of The Cosmopolitan.

To say this place is sexy would be an understatement. I may be completely and utterly biased due to the fact that the entire place is decked out in chandeliers. They even have a bar called Chandelier Bar.

As far as dining goes before hitting the slots or the nightlife, New Yorkers and Angelenos alike will feel right at home with Scarpetta, STK, Blue Ribbon Sushi and Comme Ca (to name a few) all under one roof. So, basically, whatever you’re craving, they’ve got it. Isn’t that what Vegas is all about?

So how does one get decked out for Sin City? Many would immediately suggest sequins, but there’s enough sparkles in Vegas. Why not pick a shocking saturated color to really stand out? Save the shimmer for your accessories.

Naven Heartthrob Dress, $285 (one of the colors is even called “Vegas Blue”)

Kenneth Jay Lane Gold Clustered Crystal Bracelet, $74.88

Diane von Furstenberg Envy Strappy Platform Sandal, $350

Deux Lux Large Studded Clutch, $60

Let it ride.

Monday Mashup: Taylor’s Got Options

By |December 20th, 2010|Monday Mashup|

Speaking of twins…

Some people are a little skeptical of Swyllenhall/TayJay/Gyllenswift’s new budding romance and I can see why. Experienced Hollywood actor courting sweet, sweet American girl?  Has her next country platinum single written all over it. Well, luckily for Tay Tay, she has options. After seeing Love and Other Drugs a few weeks ago, we started trying to figure out what other movies Jake had been in. Was it Spiderman? Brokeback Mountain? Win a Date with Tad Hamilton? Wait… are there three guys playing the same roles?

So basically, my point is this… if Jake doesn’t work out, looks like there are two other gentleman who I’m sure would be willing to fill in. Is that what it’s like to be a Hollywood agent?
