Why Did Wisdom: I Don’t Need This

By Kirsten|August 21st, 2010|WhyDid Wisdom|

DermaTend_TV

We are constantly bombarded with things we don’t need. People are making millions and millions of dollars inventing items that we never knew we wanted until they put together an informercial and we were awake way too late one night. Now we have a closet full of As Seen On TV products.

Well, here are few more that you’re definitely going to want. Enjoy.

There is something concerning about the fact that this item seems to be targeted solely at big breasted women and children. How is it that you plan on explaining to your child what exactly is meant by “Tiddy”? Let me know how that conversation goes. And really, who is driving that aggressively that their seatbelt is causing such severe pain? Perhaps enrolling in driving school would be more helpful?

I mean, I don’t even know what to say about this. I felt uncomfortable even watching. This makes the Shake Weight seem tame. Please, if you DO buy this, send me the footage of your co-workers’ reactions as you girate beneath your desk. Thank you.

I think my favorite part of this one is when they go ahead and call in the 800lb grizzly bear. (They also make a note not to “try this at home.” Right… cause we all have access to grizzly bears). I mean, I know there are some sneaky people in offices who steal your food even after you’ve bedazzled your tupperware with your initials, but COME ON.

Happy Saturday.

The List Volume XVI

By Kirsten|August 20th, 2010|The List|

And the lists just keep on coming…

Apartments with windows looking directly into other people’s windows. No sir, I do not want to see your naked bod.
Overpaid frauds. Wait, what? How did you get this job?
Announcing you’re location via Facebook. If you have to tell us you’re “at Soho House” I’m likely to believe you don’t get to go there often. This is Facebook, not Foursquare.
The city of Vernon, CA.
Oversharing. Don’t forget, “Less is more.”
Tattletales.
Shoes that are too big. You look like a little girl dressing up in mom’s clothes.
Glamour’s 20 Sexiest Men. Um, who are these people in the top 5?
Rachel Zoe.
Time differences.

Would You Wednesday: Julia Roberts Edition

By Kirsten|August 18th, 2010|Celebrity Style, Why Did or Why Don't?, Why Did You Wear That?|

God, I love Julia Roberts. I really, really do… but this outfit. I mean, come on. Here she is promoting Eat, Pray, Love in Tokyo wearing Dries Van Noten. I don’ t know (nor do I want to) who her shoes are by. All I do know is they don’t match. Jules, next time, you’d be better off sticking with your Pretty Woman wardrobe.

Why Did You Date Him: Let’s Just Be Friends

By Kirsten|August 17th, 2010|Somethin for the fellas, Why Did You Date Him?|

1jPCk

Oh dating. Aren’t you fun? I mean, as bad as you suck for us ladies… you must really suck for guys. Hey fellas, how many times have you heard, “I really like you… as a friend“? What the *#%#?

After countless dinners, flowers, opening doors, and sweet nothings… you get just that: Nothing. So, what is it that takes a guy from “just a friend” to “my future baby’s daddy”?

Sad as it is, we love bad boys. I discussed this with our fantastic interns today. They are seniors at USC and still lovin’ those boys you wouldn’t take home to mama. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be a gentleman, but there’s a fine line between gentile and doormat. Tread lightly.
Just like girls can be overzealous and clingy, guys can be too. You know how much you like that cat and mouse game of playing hard to get? We like it too. Don’t blow up my inbox and don’t keep calling til I answer.
“Going Dutch.” (Also know as being a cheap @**hole). If you split the bill, she’s gonna split. Period. Done. Goodbye.
If you share a bed and there is no type of contact, she now thinks of you like her gay bff. As far as she’s concerned… you’re gay (and there’s NO coming back from that). We get you’re trying to be polite, but at least attempt to cop a feel.
Talking about “your feelings.” That’s our job. Stop trying to steal the show. Shut up and crush a beer can on your head.
Wearing more makeup or hair products than we do. Um, yeah… We don’t like to share our mascara (it’s unsanitary).
Do not under any circumstances, high five me, chest bump me, or “pound fists” with me.

By avoiding all of the above, you may actually have a shot in hell with the lady of your dreams. Check, please!

Why Did You Eat That: When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip

By Kirsten|August 16th, 2010|Los Angeles, Why Did You Eat That?|

One of the only things I hate as much as leggings worn as pants is moving and apartment hunting. Luckily for me, I spent the entire weekend searching for a new home for me and the pooch. It was a daunting task for sure and I would have much rather spent my time poolside (cocktail in hand. obv), but I suppose this is one of life’s necessary evils.

But alas, it was not a complete and utter loss. One amazing thing that came out of this weekend’s hunt was stumbling upon Cole’s French Dip. After receiving a history lesson from one of the building’s leasing agents, I headed over to check out this so called “originator of the French Dip.” Apparently, Cole’s is Los Angeles’s oldest public houses (dating back to 1908). It was recently renovated to reflect its heritage including the original bar.

The menu is pretty straightforward as you can imagine. You obviously should go ahead and order the French dip. You can get beef, turkey, or pastrami and can add several different cheeses to jazz it up. This is all well and good, but you better save room for dessert. The chocolate pie is hands down the BEST thing I have ever put in my mouth. I would have eaten an entire pie MYSELF.
