The List XVII

By Kirsten|August 27th, 2010|The List|

I mean, I’m about to start listing people by first name… But alas, I will save you the embarrassment.

Turtlenecks in summer. I don’t care if it doesn’t have sleeves or is a dress.
Girls with shitty hair who insist on growing it out. Know your role.
While on the subject, not everyone is meant to be blonde. (This goes double for those of you not genetically predisposed).
“Sunday Funday.” This couldn’t be more overused. It’s Sunday… guess what that means… Tomorrow’s Monday and everyone knows that’s not very fun.
Shit talkers. How’s your breath? No, seriously. How is it?
Guys who think the waitress wants to F&*#. She just wants a tip… and not the tip of your …
Waitresses who whore themselves out to guys drinking beer. They are not big spenders and I need a refill. Thanks.
Co-workers who throw out your lunch. Looks like I need my own Fridge Locker.
People who re-Tweet celebrities, verified accounts, horoscopes, and quotes. We get it, they said EXACTLY what you were thinking. Chances are we’re all following them too, so we don’t need you to re-Tweet their shit. Thanks.
YOU.

WhyDid Wisdom: Penny Pincher

By Kirsten|August 26th, 2010|WhyDid Wisdom|

Empty Wallet

Oh it sure is hard to budget those bills as a fashionista. Sometimes our desire for the latest trend outweighs the urgency of paying that pesky electric bill. Sigh… Life’s hard.

So our interns were discussing that they had signed up for a site called Mint.com and were receiving emails scolding them for going over their budgets. This sounded incredibly intriguing so I went ahead and took my pretty little fingers and typed in the URL. Here is where I landed:

With the click of a few buttons, Mint walks you through adding in your different bank accounts and credit cards. After all of that is entered, Mint takes a moment to go ahead and organize your numbers. A few calculations and TA-DA!! You can now see your debt versus your assets (Yikes!). With tools to help you save, set budgets, and meet goals, Mint will have your finances back on track in no time. You will get reminders when your account gets low or you have gone over your budget. There’s no lying to Mint.

To say this site is eye opening is an understatement. My net worth? Sad. Sad, sad net worth.

The days of balancing checkbooks are long gone, but that’s no reason to be going into debt. All savvy girls should have a handle on their finances. Because overdrafts, bounced checks and ,snipped credit cards are never in style.

Let’s have a closer look… Good word. I mean, I’m not sure I even know what to say about this one. Nevermind, yes I do. Beyonce (BeyBey), Jay is NEVER supposed to look better than you. How is that even possible? You’re supposed to be the pretty one!

beyonce-jay-z-french-fans-friendly-03 Ugh… I can’t look at this anymore. What do you guys think?

What Are You Hiding?

By Kirsten|August 25th, 2010|Why Did You Date Him?|

Yesterday on the drive to work, we tuned into the Ryan Seacrest show. The topic for this particular morning was a woman who had been dating a man for over a year and had yet to ever see his home. Um? He told her that he was fixing it up and remodeling it but did not want her to see it until it was totally perfect. Um?

They tried to trick him by calling and telling him he’d won free flowers and they could send the flowers to anyone he’d like. He requested to have them sent to the girl who called in with her concerns. Hm… So what was going on?

I mean, Ryan almost lost his %^&$ on this guy and I was right there with him. It just doesn’t make any sense as to why his “girlfriend” would not be permitted to see his home. It’s been over a YEAR. The gentleman insisted that he is just a very “private” person. Why this young lady was tolerating the situation is so far beyond me. Not only would I have not been okay with this, my antennas would have gone up. Does she have no access to a computer? A little internet stalking sure would do her some good. A couple swipes through Google, Twitter, and Facebook and she would have cracked the case by now. If all else failed, why would she not have just followed him “home” one day?

After a bit, Ryan opened up the phone lines to take some calls from listeners. One guy called in and said that obviously the man is cheating. Another woman called to say she had been through something very similar and lo and behold, the man was married. Finally, another woman called in and said she was in the SAME situation and that it was totally okay. What? %*^$!!??

This got me to wondering WHY on earth women tolerate such things? How desperate must you be to accept such crappy excuses? What do you guys think?

My vote? He’s a sociopath who lives in a meth lab with his mother and wife (which is obviously totally normal).
