Okay, my lovelies. Yes, I think it’s okay to start talking like Cat Deeley if I’m discussing this show. Don’t like? Well, then that’s just bollocks! No? Okay, anyway, here we are at another elimination. It’s getting really hard, right? These kids are really starting to grow on us. Sure, we have our annoyances, but they all really want to be on the show so very much!
Let’s see who’s taking a bow tonight.
Freedom! That’s what this weekend is about right? Or is it drinking, grilling, and fireworks? I can never keep it straight. Continue reading
Carmen Dell’Orefice turned 80 on June 3, 2011. However, she isn’t just your run of the mill American octogenarian. Granted, I do know quite a few people over the age of 80 that still go play tennis regularly and go to the casino with their great-grandchildren but I don’t know many who are still working. Dell’Orefice is not just working. She is making money in one of the most fickle fields possible.
Dell’Orefice started modeling at a young age and was featured on the cover of Vogue at the age of 15. Most recently she walked in the Alberta Ferretti show in Italy on January 11, 2011 and in the Vittadini Mercedes-Benz Fall 2011 show in New York on February 16, 2011. Continue reading
I’m out of town and a little bird told me that an emergency Photo Phriday was needed, so here I am! As you know, PP with AW is like one big game of Scattergories. Last time I asked you show me something that starts with the letter C. Well, today, I ask you show me something that starts with the letter G! Here’s a G Train Service Train sign to getcha started. Gee, this is gonna be fun! Continue reading
Google+ is a new social networking site. Yes, new social networking sites come out every other week. Yes, no-one cares. Yes, Google has tried to get into the social networking field before, and failed. This might be different. Most social networking sites are intended to be additional to whatever social networks you already use. Hell, many even have buttons to share stuff from them to Facebook or Twitter.
Google+ is different. The message of Google+ is that it does everything Facebook does, and more, but also lets you control your privacy and sharing better than Facebook. The goal of Google+ is nothing short of consigning Facebook to the dustbin of history, alongside MySpace. Continue reading
I was wondering what would annoy me enough to rouse me out of my summer funk. And lo and behold, Karen Spears Zacharia, writing for CNN, managed to do it with by whining about the farcical parenting book Go The Fuck to Sleep. She, and some of the commenters at CNN, find no humor whatsoever in a book that makes light of a daily battle for parents of small children. Continue reading
Cherry blossom joy
I dream of Spring’s bright scent
Who took my stapler?
Today’s QOTD: Do you Haiku?
I would divide my body weight into three life sections:
Years 0 – 4: Typical skin and bones Indian girl
Years 4 – 18: Oh look, I found sugar. Sad owner of Lane Bryant catalogs.
Years 18 – present: Healthy alterations between very fit, fit, and “eh.”
For the past eight years, I have been an avid gym buff. My workouts are both thorough and well calculated, and I easily spend 10 hours a week, every week, burning the sugary calories I so happily consume. I am no stranger to cardio equipment, stretch mats, swimming pools, and yes, the weight room. Yet in my time at the five gyms to which I’ve belonged, I’ve found that as a woman, it takes a stoic attitude to command the respect from men that any patron (let alone a regular one) ought to automatically be given. In the gym, I have heard more than my fair share of sexist comments from men about women, despite the fact that mindless brutes of Any Gym, USA prove to be the most pathetic example of possible patrons.
