Oh, Hey There…

You’ve probably been wondering where the eff I disappeared off to last week. Yeah, me too. I wish I could tell you that I was sunning in Santorini with the man of my dreams after eloping on a whim, but alas, my reasoning is not nearly that sexy. This past week has been a bit of a rough go.  I had my heart broken, I got hired, I got fired, made up my mind, changed it, lost my way, found it again – not to mention my ongoing love/hate relationship with the city in which I reside.

That being said… I’m baaaaack. I’ve discussed a few times that I seem to be suffering from what they like to call a “quarter life crisis” and I’m hoping and praying this will be the last bout with it. (Um, besides, I’m kinda heading more into the mid life crisis range at this point). I’ve gone back to my old standby – making a lot of lists and checking things off. Unfortunately, organization is not my strong suit and I’m willing to bet I have adult ADD.  It’s so easy to get distracted by the constant “noise” going on all around us- especially living in NYC. My dad often tells me to go somewhere quiet and just listen.

Sometimes I feel like I’m supposed to have it all figured out and when I look around at some of my peers who seem to have a handle on things, I get completely and utterly flustered. At times, I just shut down because I’m so overwhelmed (hence I just could not manage to type a sentence, crack a joke, or make a video last week).

I don’t want to spend time complaining about my life, because quite honestly, I have it pretty good. What I would like to do is let you guys know that it’s okay to be confused. It’s okay to get lost. It’s okay to make mistakes. There’s no need to compare yourself to others and as long as you stay focused and hold onto your dreams (and sanity), you’ll find your way.

So I do apologize for my absence and lack of crazy antics, but believe it or not, at times I do run out of things to say. I know, hard to believe. Lucky for you, I’ve had a week to stew and am raring to go.

Bring Your Bra-llet

I have recently become obsessed with running/biking/skating at Hudson River Park. I’m lucky enough to live a hop, skip, and jump away and have been taking full advantage (and my butt thanks me for it).

Not that I need to bring a full purse worth of items with me on my athletic endeavors, but it sure would be nice to have somewhere else to shove my keys besides inside my sports bra. I mean, there really is nothing sexier than pulling out a sweaty clump of dollar bills when trying to pay for a post run smoothie. Ask the girls at Scores.

Enter the RackTrap.

The RackTrap is a safe haven for all items necessary when leaving your abode (ID, cash, keys). It fits comfortably in any size or style of bra and is totally washable and “undetectable” (until you have to reach down your shirt to pull it out). They also now have a special one just for us active ladies (which is allegedly sweatproof).

Well, thank goodness!  Now I can run in peace!

You may or may not have noticed there’s been some changes here and there at WhyDid. We’ve been testing things out, seeing what fits. Kind of like in the dressing room of Intermix. Some things look amaze, while others were like a silk charmeuse dress during period week. Basically, we’re giving WhyDid a serious makeover and who the hell doesn’t love a good makeover? Nobody.

After some feedback from our much loved readers and friends, we’ve obv taken your thoughts and needs into consideration and are planning on making WhyDid way more fun and easy to navigate (we’d make totally awesome gf’s, right?).

Hold onto your pantaloons though, we’ve just begun with our revamping and like all good things, this does take some time. So keep on reading daily and get ready for the big relaunch. Consider this like foreplay.

In the meantime, be sure to follow us on Twitter:

and absolutely become a fan on Facebook, duh!

We’re really excited…. like, really, really. Hope you are too!

Put it in Reverse

By |March 30th, 2010|Uncategorized|

Well, folks, I’ve seen a lot of things, but this may take the cake.

rear gear

In case you’re sick of your pet’s “brown eye” you can now purchase a little something called Rear Gear to cover up that unsightly hole. Heaven knows you don’t want Fido to be ostracized at the puppy park because his hind quarters aren’t up to snuff (or sniff).

rear gear2

Coming in many different styles, you’re pal can be the cat’s meow while wearing his Rear Gear with pride. This takes buttjazzling to the next level.

rear gear3

Haven’t these people ever heard of giving your K9 a bath? Or perhaps something called a Wet Wipe? I was not aware people were so offended by their furry companions anus.

rear gear4

Don’t worry, Smitty. Mom isn’t going to buy into this one. Just pajamas and polos for you, my friend.

Word to Your Prom.

By |March 26th, 2010|Uncategorized|

I wish this was a joke… unfortunately, this is legit.

As I lay in bed with my dog and my Mac (threesome) watching re-runs of 90210 (the Brenda Walsh era), I was startled to see a commercial for this:

home_01Oh…. really? Who in the world would want to go to this?  They suggest that it’s great for bachelorette parties. Right. Now, I’m not even in the realm of possibility of marriage (see above sleeping arrangement), but I would disown my friends if this is where they took me on my last night as a free woman. Sure, while Bill is taking tequila shots and getting a lap dance from Candi (i not y), I’m singing along to horrible 80’s music with a scrunchie in my hair. Great plan, gals! Unless someone’s pants come off, I’m not sold.

And in case you need more proof that I’m not making this up… photographic evidence!

prom3_jpgOh- I’m sorry, wasn’t aware Justin Timberlake and Betty White had teamed up for a collabo.  Maybe I’m misguided, but I thought the 80’s and your prom were things we are all trying to forget. What/who on Earth is still trying to hold on? Seems to me like there could be some deeper issues at hand (and I do NOT have time to even begin). If for some reason, you’d like to participate in the Awesome 80’s Prom, you can go ahead and call them toll free at 1-877-RAD-PROM. I’m not making that up either.
