Get it

If I don't come back as a Kardasian, Lady Gaga or Chelsea Handler in my next life, I'm definitely coming back as Willow Smith.  How stinking cute is she?


 
Whip yo hair gurl!

NARS girl

I'm officially off Mac cosmetics.  It was fun while it lasted.  After loyally buying and wearing Mac, I've switch teams and am now a faithful NARS girl.  If you aren't familiar with NARS, check it out.  Francois Nars, the French makeup artist, photographer and creative-genius behind NARS, is a visionary and his products have become modern cult classics.  Nars even still shoots the advertising campaigns for the company.  How cool is that?!

You can find NARS in Dallas at Nordstrom, but only at the Galleria location.  Ask for Gabe- he's the counter manager and last time I was in I got a hell of a makeover.  He even turned me on to liquid foundation after wearing powder for years.  I'm so pretty now!  :)

Here are a few favs:

I use this as my eyeliner- fab trick from Gabe


A little of this on your cheeks, forehead and chin before your foundation

My girl, Kim K's fav.  This is coming in my stocking this year!

White Girl Problems

Do you all Twitter?  I tweet occasionally, I use Twitter more for breaking news, weather and celebrity meltdown/hookup/breakup news.  I was obviously the first to tell my office about the big break between the sexiest man alive, Ryan Reynolds and that one girl, ScarJo.

Take of that ring and call me sir!

Back to Twitter, I follow a great feed called White Girl Problems.  This gal is hysterical.  She tweets about everything from shoes, to men to eating only on days that begin with T.  Check her out @whitegrlproblem  


She doesn't look like she has that many problems!
Here are some of her best recent tweets:

Why me?
I'm so jealous that my kids will get to be younger than me.
I went to fashion school.  I'm not an idiot.
I thought I would be married by now.
Just because you're a cop, doesn't mean I'm drunk.
How do I get my legs to look like they did when I was 9?
Some people shouldn't be allowed to talk to me, look at me, call me, text me, email me or touch me.
I'm not really thankful for anything.

...and, she's just done her first interview with blogger Ryan O'Connell... check out the link below for more white girl problems!

Mouse ears

I got super sick over Thanxgiving and spent some time recouping out in Plano with Rableman and Pattymac.  Last Friday night, Pattymac and I got out that old photo albums and relived the glory days in California.

Check out my sweet mouse ears.  I plan on scanning in some more old pics when I get myself a nice little scanner (anyone know of some good ones?) to hook up to the Mac.  There are actually lots of pics of me in these ears... playing dress up, watering the yard, they were basically a staple from ages 2-4.

Aww ya, who's jealous of my Katie ears?

Bad cat

Ya sure, she can wake me up at all hours of the night, but wake her up during a nice little afternoon nap...

yikes

Did you all hear this... my man ex-Mr. President, Bill Clinton was in Bangkok this past weekend filming a guest spot as himself for The Hangover 2!?  Forget Jessica Simpson's ruby engagement ring, this is some real entertainment news.  I'm totally pumped.  I love me some Clinton!

Pop sensation

Do you all watch Chelsea Lately?  Chelsea Handler is so stinkin funny.  I watch/record her every night on E!  She's just hilarious.  On Monday night, her guest was Keenan Cahill, a 15-year-old YouTube sensation who lip syncs pop songs.  On Monday he debuted his newest jam Down On Me featuring Chelsea's maybe-boyfriend, 50 Cent.

This kid is awesome... wait for 50 to come in...

More ways to behave yourself, or not

I just came across this interesting article while I was eating my salad from the Headline Diner (thanx TDMN!) on msnbc entitled Sobriety Test attempts to curb drunk Facebooking.  See part of article below:


As it is, Sobriety Test works for Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr and MySpace. (If you're still posting on MySpace, drinking is the least of your problems.) Much like Mail Goggles, the drunk-protecting Gmail tool, users set Sobriety Test for the hours they expect to be under the influence. Any attempt to access the chosen social network during danger time is met with a simple test, such as typing the alphabet backwards (thus protecting social networks from dyslexics as well).


Fail, and not only does Sobriety Test block access to the social network you're trying to get on, it thoughtfully posts this status for you: "(Your name) is too intoxicated to post." Because, you know, that's not embarrassing.

So, now the whole world knows that you also can't spell.  What's better is that this app isn't available on mobile devices.  Well this isn't helping any of us who have our phones permanently glued to our palms on a Saturday night in any fine local drinking establishment. 

Didn't these people who created this app see The Social Network-  this is how this whole fine mess of relentless social networking began.  Be responsible people, at least monitor yourselves.

Coffee Talk

As an Uptown girl, I've made a habit the past 4+ years to grocery shop, lunch and brunch at Eatzi's on Oak Lawn.  It's a Dallas staple and I've recently discovered a new simple pleasure at the local market, Eatzi's coffee.  I was in this past Sunday morning, bright and early, curing my hangover, I mean, getting my day started and I hit the grill for an egg scrambler and then ordered a cafe mocha at the espresso bar.  I have no idea what kind of voodoo this girl put in my mocha, but about 3 minutes later, my piping hot cup of yumminess arrived and I was delighted.


Truth be told, I'm not a good coffee drinker.  I don't know the fancy terms, I don't branch out and I usually have to get half-caf or I get the shakes.  This coffee was not heavy on the sugar or syrup like Starbucks and I wasn't trembling or crashing an hour later like I usually do.  It was fab.  But then again, after a night on the town, anything would have tasted pretty damn good that morning.

Check out Eatzi's coffee, cheers!

Lofty aspirations

I had a dream last night that Big Bird, yes that big yellow bird, came into my office and laid off a bunch of people.  So I got to thinking about possibly one day investing in a little business venture, below are my disjointed thoughts:

A bar
location location location

A clothing boutique
fortunately we all have to wear clothes

A pizza shop
 i've been to italy
A mask shop
add a little mystery to this town

A tango club
spicy latin dancing never hurt anyone



DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU:
