It's getting hottt in here...

It feels like 110 in DC today.  And I am no where near a beach or a pool.  There is something wrong with this picture. However, I am near a bar and will be drinking away the heat and the heartbreak that is my life later tonight, if anyone wants to join my pity party.

I'm back having the writers block...I seriously need a guest writer or two.  Start submitting applications STAT.  And I'll start working on my hazing.

So here are just some things I've been thinking about lately:

*What seemed like a good idea at the time (famous last words), I worked out on Sunday.  Yes, it is the lord's day and I should have been at home watching Jake Ryan movies, but no...I decided to go into an empty gym, show off to only myself, push myself more than I should, and do these sit ups I found in some magazine.  I guess the sit ups worked, but every laugh, every turn, every deep breath in feels like someone is sitting on my stomach. If it wasn't so damn painful, I would have done them again this morning.  But I couldn't. I just couldn't.

*Did anyone happen to watch Jersey Housewives this past Sunday?  Am I the only one who is over this show? I just can't stand the ridiculousness of their lives.  And Melissa's singing makes me want to vomit, but I kind of dig that song.  The gem was the after show on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen...except this week it was Jay Mohr hosting.  Holy bananas yall. It was the funniest 30 minutes I've watched in a long time.  If you didn't see it, find it and watch immediately.  His guest were Kathy and her Jeff Goldblum husband, Rich.  Honestly, it made me die and Bravo needs to hook Jay up with his own show ASAP.

*I ended up watching Mermaids this weekend.  I had forgotten about 80% of the movie and really only cared about Michael Schoeffling's part (see! I do know Jake Ryan's real name), but it was a cute movie.  I forgot how adorable Christina Ricci was at 8 years old and I forgot that Jake Ryan and Winona Ryder hooked up in the bell tower....it was a hot 3 minutes. Oooh lord.  Anyhow - it's not necessarily rent worthy, but if its on HBO definitely watch.

*Thoughts on the Beckham baby name? Harper Seven.  I actually like it. Sue me.  If I had a baby girl, I would name her Georgiana or Carolina (pronounced like Herrera - Carooleeena).  I like interesting names...and let's be honest, no one is calling her Seven.  Can you imagine what this baby will be dressed like?  If Posh was smart, she would start a maternity and baby line in addition to her amazing clothing line. Just saying.

*I'm lost without tennis on.  When is the next match? And why the hell doesn't the tennis channel come with comcast?

Wish I was somewhere else, jamming out to this:

Stay cool yall.  And if that means hiring a hot pool boy to spritz you with evian spray then do it.  And now I'm taking applications for that pool boy...

80's flashback

Running some quick errands last night, I came across a store that's been in this shopping center for ages, but I've never ventured in. It's call "reunions" and its an antiquey-furniture store.  Some of their stuff is really cute - overpriced - but cute.  As I ventured out of the store, this guy was walking across the parking lot and I had to do a double take. Because I swear to the lord baby jesus, I had just been transported back to the 80s...not because of the clothes this guy was wearing, but because he was a dead on ringer for one Mr. Jake Ryan.

If you don't know who Jake Ryan is, then kill yourself. No seriously. Because if you have never watched Sixteen Candles, then I don't know how we can be friends. It's on my top 10 favorite movies and a movie that I quote frequently.  Any John Hughes movie is quotable, but other than Home Alone, this is my favorite movie of his.

So, back to the dreamyness of Jake Ryan.  I'm not actually sure how long I stood on the sidewalk looking at my Jake look-a-like, but I might have whispered a "goddddamnnn" and shook my head to wake from my dream.  He was wearing jeans, a flannel (yes, uh it was 95 degrees yesterday) and some wallabees.  He got into an Acura, which is a far cry from Jake's red Porsche which I desperately wished would show up to my house and whisk me away.
I smiled all the way home, and when I turned on the DVR to see what I had recorded over the past week...not only was Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead, starring a delicious and young Josh Charles, BUT Mermaids...staring Cher, Winona Ryder, and JAKE RYAN.  I swear no one knows his real name...and frankly who cares. In Mermaids, he plays the shy school bus driver who lives with the nuns.  Don't ask why, just go with it.  I'm going to have to re watch the movie this weekend and report back, but last night I was too busy with Josh (not Joshua, Lady Lala) and his handsome yellow and red bow tie in DTMtheBD.  Seriously, it's such a great movie and a hidden treasure. I found an article in the NYTimes Magazine from last month where they ran into JC at a Shakespeare in the park event, and he had to say this about his movies: ""I don’t usually watch things I do. Maybe sometimes, but very rare." That’s the sort of beauty of theater, it’s an evolving, living thing, whereas television or film, you lock it into a specific period of time ... and you’re constantly thinking about what could have been." Uh...okay Josh.  But someone please tell me what's happened to our poor boy. He looks a little coked out here:

And he is looking too skinny. But whatever, I still love him. And in the words of Willy Shakespeare, "Adieu, adieu. Parting is such sweet sorrow."

Later bitches,

Sidenote: It must be said that I didn't first watch this movie until way in the 90's, and not the original 1984 release date as I was merely a babe at that time.

let's play a game...

It's like Win, Lose, or Draw but better.  Let's play...which starlet will wear the following Valentino dresses?

I'm thinking Gwyenth Paltrow...Jennifer Anniston if it showed more skin

This one screams Anne Hathaway...maybe Emma Watson



Maybe this is Anniston?



No clue, but I bet Rachel Zoe died when this came down the runway.

Elle Fanning.

look...it's pretttttty

To the 4 straight men who read this blog, I'm sorry, but I'm doing another post about dresses (and another one after that). Sorry I'm not sorry.  This time it's the Giamballista Valli show and if you are a girl who wears classic clothes, then this show is for you.  I texted someone last night with the link to this show and said "kill yourself, because this show will make you commit suicide because you are poor and can't afford these clothes."  And it's true. Every single one of the outfits is near perfection and had I been at this show, I might have openly wept. I'm also pretty stoked that I bought a shirt this weekend with little petals all over it like the coat on the last row....and that capes are back in.

Feast your eyes ladies:

Go ahead and drool.

I always would rather be in Paris than here...but especially this week, because it's Paris Haute Couture week. Late last night, Uncle Karl lit up the Grand Palais. Literally and figuratively.  Having his showing at 10pm, he recreated Place Vendome at night inside the Palais, complete with light up shoes. His inspiration was Coco in the 20's...and it's beautiful.

So all the models look a bit like Ke$ha, no? But I die over the black boucle dress with white and black lapel and the midnight blue with red /white trim dress.  I need that blue dress now to wear on boat parties...not that I have boat parties to attend, but if I was wearing that dress with the fingerless elbow gloves, I would just hang out down by the harbor and beg people to let me stow away.

Ahhh...one can dream,

XO

I'm so tired. So, so tired.

Hello punkins! I hope everyone had a lovely and safe July 4th and that you all got some view of a firework or two. I don't know about ya'll, but I am exhausted. Laying by the pool, getting burned really takes it out of you.

It was a very busy 3 day weekend. Wills and Kate are flitting all around Canada, being utterly adorable. The way they look at each other just makes my black heart melt. And Kate with the clothes! Damn this girl. 1. everything she wears is amazing and 2. she is so skinny it makes me jealous. Seriously...look at these two outfits...

Alexander McQueen sweater dress; Erdem dress



Another royal wedding happened this weekend...Prince Albert of Monaco got married. Ya'll know Prince Albert, right...The son of Princess Grace...the one who can't keep it in his pants to save his life...the one who has illegitimate kids all over Europe? The one that has a pierced penis named after him? Yeah. Him. Well he found this poor girl, Charlene, who is beautiful but seems quite sad. And with the name of Charlene, who wouldn’t be sad? It reminds me of the character off Designing Women. Anyhow...apparently poor Charlene is not what Monaco thought of for a new princess. She's been kept hidden in the castle for months and has been ridiculed that she doesn't speak french. Now, there are new allegations that she tried to run away 3 times in the past 6 months...the last time just days before the wedding when royal officials tracked her down and took her passport. She kept referring to the marriage as an "arranged marriage" and apparently has to produce a male heir and stand by PA no matter how much he screws around. And she cried through the whole wedding. How freaking sad. Part of me smirks at her lifestyle and the fact that she is trying to run away, but most of me feels bad for the poor girl. She is now princess to a country that dislikes her, her husband is a ugly fuck who will sleep with anything, and she is trapped far from home. But she does have a ton of money...and if she were smart she would use that money to intoxicate herself and to buy really hot pool boys.

Celebrities at their wedding: KARL LAGERFELD (sigh), Naomi Campbell with her Russian hottie boyfriend billionaire Vladislav Doronin, President Sarkozy, Roger Moore and Karolina Kurkova.

Not there...Kate Moss.  And do you know why?  It's because she was spending a MILLION dollars...cause she was getting married too! And in the worst dress I've ever seen, though it was created by ex-Dior designer, John Galliano. Apparently, Kate being the sweet thing she is, moved up her wedding a day so to accomodate her friends attending both weddings.  How nice.

Naomi was also at her wedding (this jet setter here...), Sadie Frost, Jude Law, Stella McCartney, John Galliano, and Daphne Guiness.  Oh and the Vogues were there...Anna Wintour, Emmanuelle Alt, and Carine Roitfeld. Kate definately wins for the best guests.  Imagine that party.












Ok...well I think I caught up with all the fashion and fireworks I can stand for a day. But I will leave you with a picture of PA's and Charlene's cake. Please refrain from oooo-ing and ahhhh-ing, because it's tres tacky.

Planning my royal wedding...to Harry....

The number ones

Annnnnd I'm burned. Happy birthday America. Tomorrow I can only wear blue and white because I've got the red covered. Well I guess I can be a little happy that my first burn of the season didn't occur until July 3rd...or maybe it's just plain sad.

I've missed you guys, so I'm posting via iPhone. I hope this works.

So first thing first... Rafa. Ouch, what a loss. From the very first serve (which I watched at 9am thankyouverymuch), he just didn't seem to be in it. I thought Djokovic played well but I didn't think he played god-like. There were a lot of unforced errors on both sides, however Rafa's were just out of control. I thought maybe it was his foot, but it didn't seem to hurt during the match against murray. I love both players so this was a treat for me, but I kept rooting for poor nadal.

So going into this match, Nadal was listed at #1, but come Tuesday whether he won or lost, the #1 slot belonged to Djokovic. Do you think that's why Rafa was so down? I keep waiting for a FB update, but I bet it will be a day or two before anything is posted.
I hope everyone has a great 4th! See you Tuesday!
