Why Did or Why Don’t: Let It Burn

By Kirsten|March 20th, 2013|Why Did or Why Don't?|

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy and girl break up. Girl proceeds to ruin boy’s life. They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… and I happen to know there’s a bit of truth to that. Not that I’ve ever gone all Carrie Underwood on anyone… well, except that one time, but in this day and age, breakups and their pretty personal details have become quite public.

For instance, the adorable Selena Gomez stopped by David Letterman this week where she was promoting Spring Breakers and dropping bombs on Justin Bieber. During the interview, Gomez points out something she and Letterman happen to have in common and it’s a real zinger. She delivers the line so subtly and sweetly that it’s hard not to want to give her daps, but is dissing your ex publicly awesome or just kind of immature?

Now, I’m no Wizard of Waverly Place, but clearly, I have a very public vehicle for the purpose of spot blowing. Fortunately for the past loves of my life, I have an almost incomprehensible amount of restraint when it comes to dishing out the deets of what exactly went down during our time together. (You’re all very welcome). However, there are certainly times I have most definitely wanted to lay the story perfectly straight for my love life spectators and perhaps help a sister out in the process. As a matter of fact, my ex’s ex (we following that?) is the producer for a very popular morning radio show. While she and her cohorts did make some commentary regarding her breakup (at which point I received some pretty unpleasant Tweets from their fans), the references were somewhat vague. Looking back, I wish she’d just been blunt about the level of douchedom that went down or that I had just gone ahead and called into the show myself. Sure would have saved me some time.

So what do we think? Acceptable to ruin someone’s day publicly? Or totally tacky?

It’s not me, it’s you.

Why Did You Wear That: Stopping Short

By Kirsten|April 3rd, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

This past weekend, three of Tinsletown’s loveliest ladies were all seen sporting a little bit of bare midriff while walking the red (err… orange?) carpet. This bit of belly is different from the crop tops of a couple summers past. It’s not so much belly button as it is rib cage. It’s the teeniest little peek-a-boo of skin that is both sexy and playful. It’s less Christina Aguilera Genie in a Bottle and a bit more Gidget Goes Hawaiian. And for anyone who was ever a bit self conscious about showing some torso, don’t worry. This is much more wearable and will keep that fearsome FUPA under wraps.

1. Missoni Elsa Cropped Crochet Knit Top, $530, 2. FP New Romantics Woven Bustier, $78, 3. Material Girl Bustier, $29, 4. Dolce & Gabbana Chili Pepper Print Cotton Bustier, $1000, 5. MinkPink Support Group Bustier, $35, 6. Mara Hoffman Embroidered Bustier Top, $207, 7. Topshop Petite Cutout Swan Bralet, $52, 8. Smith Denim Bustier, $80, 9. Free People Kiki Top, $78, 10. SO Dot Convertible Mini Bustier, $14.99

While some are referring to these as “bralettes” that’s not quite the right term. (Did I not already school you in bralettes?). I would consider these to be cropped bustier tops. You’ll have much more luck when searching using those terms. The trick to this look is pairing your teeny top with a high waisted skirt or slacks. That way your outfit will read “le petite coquette” rather than “big dirty whore.”

Weekend Playlist: Love You Like a Love Song

By Kirsten|February 11th, 2012|Weekend Playlist|

If you aren’t a part of the “I Hate Love” Club, it’s quite possible that you love a good love song. Cheesy, yes, but these saccharin sweet ditties will have you bouncing in your seat in no time.

Much love.

Monday Mashup: All That Glitters…

By Kirsten|November 21st, 2011|Monday Mashup, Red Carpet Recap, Why Did You Wear That?|

Hey Nicki? Johnny 5 called… he wants his look back. I should have figured the opening performance would set the tone for this year’s American Music Awards. The tone being one big hot shiny mess. I should have changed the channel… I should have looked away, but alas, I could not. I’ve had about enough of Nicki’s wacky get ups. I’m on team Johnny 5. What about you?

The AMA’s weren’t all bad though. Here are five lovely ladies sporting what was most certainly the trend of the evening- metallics. Sadly, this is about where the “good” ends and the eye gouging begins.

Watching the AMA’s only confirmed the fact that I might need to relocate to a tropical island– or at least place where it takes a lot more talent and several fewer sparkly bra tops to get ahead.

Exhibits A, B, and B 1/2. It pains me to see Christina Aguilera look like… well, that. What happened to that little Genie in a Bottle of yore? It also pains me to see the mother of two wearing a sequin covered costume that may or may not have belonged to Britney Spears circa 1999. Those jewel encrusted bra cups have got to be a breast feeding safety hazard. Am I right? Let’s not even get into the incestuousness of Pitbull’s pelvic grinding performance with J. Lo followed up by another performance with her ex-hubby Marc Anthony and sequin braziered fly girls. Ew. And as for Adam Lambert, well, I really just wanted to throw him in so I could coin his new nickname, “Glambert.” You’re welcome.

Let’s get it together, America. We’re better than this. All that glitters is not gold.

P.S. Ending the show with Hasselhoff in his manties? Classy touch.

Weekend Playlist: I Like to Move It Move It

By Kirsten|October 15th, 2011|Weekend Playlist|

The winds have turned and brought that chilly air that signals “So long, summer” and it’s now dark outside before 7pm. It’d be pretty easy to channel your inner groundhog (do you know that they just beef up and sleep all winter?) and just give up on yourself. I mean, afterall, it’s so cold you probably won’t be wearing any short shorts or minis (let alone shaving your legs) for the next five or so months. Might as well just pack on the pounds and use your new blubber for insulation, right? No. Just stop it. There’s no time like now to kick your workout into full gear and one of the easiest ways to stay on track is by updating your workout playlist. Here’s one that I’ve been using for mine and will hopefully keep your body moving as well.

A good rule of thumb? Always be ready to be in a bikini at a moment’s notice. You never know when you might need a mid-winter escape to the Caribbean.
