Why Did You Wear That: Pants Off, Dance Off

By |October 21st, 2012|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

erin heatherton bergdorfWelp, I guess we’re not wearing pants anymore.  Here’s the lovely Erin Heatherton at Bergdorf’s 111th Anniversary party… wearing (or not wearing) a Jason Wu creation (he’s pictured here with her).

Earlier this week, I posted this photo of Lea Michele on WhyDid’s Facebook page.  Also not wearing pants.  And earlier this year, the beautiful Beyonce was also seen wearing a pantless wonder at the Met Gala.  So, is this a thing now?  If so, I’ll dust off my leotards right now.  I’ve been looking for a good reason for a bikini wax.  You think Lady Gaga is laughing somewhere?  I mean, she started it.

Keep your pants on.

Smart Is the New Pretty: Back to Reality

We all get a little busy from time to time, whether it be with our jobs, or personal lives, or episodes of Real Housewives (there’s like three on at once!), but that’s no excuse for being completely oblivious to the what’s going on out in the “real world” (no, not the reality show).  Here are a few headlines from the news to keep you in the know.

Now go spend some money and stimulate the economy.

The List Volume LXXV

By |May 25th, 2012|The List|

what goes upFor every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

  1. Airlines deciding to just “cancel” your flight.  Can they do that?  Wait.  I know the answer.
  2. Unsubscribing from emails only to receive another email to confirm that you’ve unsubscribed.
  3. Facebook’s new “star” feature where you can be updated of your favorite people’s activity… because once I was through “starring” people and only had TEN marked, I realized that I shouldn’t really have Facebook at all.
  4. Angry drunk dials.  Let’s be serious, all drunk dials are bad, but angry ones are the worst.
  5. Gaining five pounds being home with mom.

  1. Having to feign sadness when a friend cancels plans… cause you’re already in PJ’s and half a carton into Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey.
  2. Receiving an email so good that you are left laughing like a lunatic.  Alone.
  3. Having ten people in my life that I care enough about to want to know every move they make, every second of every day.
  4. Drunk showers.
  5. Being home with mom and realizing that your relationship has gone from simply mother/daughter to mother/daughter/best of friends.

That concludes today’s lesson.

Smart Is the New Pretty: Until Then

By |May 2nd, 2012|Smart Is the New Pretty|

taking a napSo sorry.  Took a little nap yesterday.  Okay, maybe just a drive down south to Boca.  Either way, it did inhibit my blogging capabilities.  The iPhone can do a lot of things, but posting on WordPress via my phone, is a bit tricky.  Luckily, I’m here to catch you up on the latest and greatest in what’s happening in the world outside of your cubicle.

Until next time.

The List Volume LXX

By |April 20th, 2012|The List|

instagram photosRemember how I said that one of the first things I do in the morning after opening my eyes is look at my phone?  Well, after checking any emails, texts, etc. (can’t stand any little red numbers), the next thing I do is head on over to good ol’ Instagram.  And I know I’m not alone (there’s a reason Facebook plunked down a cool $1B for the photo sharing app).  I love a stream of pictures (they are worth a thousand words, right?) as opposed to the banal status updates of Facebook and Twitter.  However, something bad has happened.  People are starting to abuse the right to post.  Just as some people talk only to hear their own voices, it seems some people post just to post.  When I speak, it’s because I have something to say.  When I post a photo, it’s because I think it’s actually worth seeing.  I think it’s high time we set up some Instagram sharing guidelines.  What say ye?

  1. Photos that you did not actually take.  That’s what Pinterest is for.
  2. Oh, your photo is kinda blurry?  Try taking another one.  If you can’t tell what it is, I most certainly can’t either.
  3. Let me preface this by saying, I like a good outfit post.  I like to see what you’re wearing (obviously) and understand that sometimes self photography is the only way.  The picture you took of yourself in the mirror with the flash on.  A). I can’t see your face, B). your mirror is dirty.  Flash off, friends.
  4. Your blue steel/duck lips face.  Just stop.
  5. Your vodka tonic.  Are there flames or smoke coming out?  No?  Don’t post it.
  6. I know that Some E-Cards are pretty funny, but are we done yet?  Can we relegate those to Facebook?
  7. I’m a sucker for animals and even post photos of my own pup, but 19 photos in a row of Wiggles is excessive (and obsessive).
  8. The same goes for babies.  I love your sweet little nugget, but at least put him/her in a silly hat or something.
  9. Your breakfast.  Unless it’s wild rhino on a spit, no one cares.
  10. Every single picture from your night out.  It’s called editing.  Pick a good one (two max) to share.

Oh, and if you are as obsessed with Instagram as the rest of us and you think your photos are stellar enough to make a case for your phone, you MUST check out Casetagram.  Welcome.
