you remember that christmas list I started?

Uncle Peter get the smelling salts because I'm about to pass out. 

Karl Lagerfeld's line for Macy's, Karl Lagerfeld Impulse, is being revealed today. The line will be comprised of  "some high-collared pieces as well as edgier, rock-'n'-roll looks". Please lord, let them all be in black and white, and please lord let DC be one of the 230 stores that gets the collection.  A couple of years ago, Karl did a line for H&M.  It sold out in 16 minutes. Seriously.

I'm interested to see what the price line for this collection will be. But it might be that everyone gets a KL starch white collar for christmas!

Happy Holidays,
XO

post hoc ergo propter hoc

I am exhausted with the celebrity sightings in DC.  In the past 10 days, I have seen Dennis Leary, Martin Sheen, the girl from the West Wing who played CJ's assistant - Carol, and Matthew Perry.

I didn't zoom in because I didn't want to get caught taking a picture, because I'm above that...unless its Tucker Carlson. So here's how it went down...New Girl, Fancy Nancy and I went down to the office bar, which is a lot like Cheers but without a Sam, or Norm.  Now, a word about the office bar. It's pretty fancy...in fact its one of the best places in DC. However, we have gotten spoiled by just going down for a quick drink that most of us consider it a dump. An expensive dump, but a dump. So we were sitting around, doing a recap of the day, when this guy walks into the vestibule and he looks familiar...short...but familiar.  All of a sudden it clicks on who he is and I say to the group "holy shitballs, President Bartlett is about to walk in."  Mostly that sentence made the other two say "WHOOOO" because both of them suck at watching TV, but as you all know, watching tv is like, my life.  For those who didn't watch The West Wing, go rent it immediately. Republican, Democrat, Independent...it doesn't matter. If you have any interest in politics or DC this is a great show. Well, until season 6 - then the shit is down hill from there.  So, where was I...POTUS Bartlett had just walked in the door, flanked by a bodyguard and Carol, the girl who played CJ's assistant in the show. For the nerds out there, did you know that "Carol" ran for Congress from PA?  She lost.  But that's not the story...anyhow, she walked in the door wearing an adorable turquoise and white summer dress.  However, it was not adorable on her.  It was really out of place, and her shoes were a.w.f.u.l. She seemed really nice and took pictures with people in the restaurant/bar.  So did Marty Sheen. So while we were dazed and confused watching these two "celebrities", I happen to look outside to the patio to see what idiots were sitting outside in 100 degree heat...and it was Matthew Perry.  Yep - Chandler Bing from Friends, just puffing away on his cig.  So MP was looking a little rough. As someone said, he looked like a walking PSA for sunscreen and say no to drugs.  But I thought he looked good. Homeboy needed a haircut, but still cute.  He ordered a diet coke, and New Girl reminded me that he had a slight problem with pain killers...yeah...who hasn't...but he wasn't drinking.  That's okay, because the 3 of us were knocking them back.  He seemed overly fascinated in our table, like he wanted to sit down and talk, which would have been fine. I can talk to anyone. True story.  The 3 of them were in town for a "drug court", which is a court that would deal only with drug convictions.  I don't know why that is something that they would petition for, but whatever floats your boat. None of us got pictures with them, mostly because, as they told me this morning, I was very adamant about no pictures and playing it cool.  Sorry guys.

I only wish that Bradley Whitford, who played Josh Lymon on the West Wing, would have been there. I would have freaked out. And it would have been amazing.

Also in the bar, were Sen. Coons (who called Marty Sheen "Mr. President), and Sen. Whitehouse, who talked about a private plane and going on vacation. Why isn't he republican?

Another day...another dollar.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty low key and I tried to sleep as much as possible to get rid of this cold that's about to start.  I hate summer colds. They are the worst.

I saw Harry Potter this weekend and what can I say other than EPIC? It was so good. I cried, I laughed, I then cried some more. I paid the extra money and saw it in 3D...and it was totally worth it. I know the cheese stands alone here, but Snape is my favorite character.  I love his story line, I love the tragedy of it, I love the pain, and I love the actor. Just thinking about it now, makes me want to go back to the theatre and cry some more.

Tough loss for the USA women's soccer team.  I don't really follow soccer or know what the hell they do other than run around, but I watched the last 2 games and enjoyed it.  This is not to say I will watch more, but I enjoyed what I watched.  PS - Did the goalie for Japan look like a Monchichi to anyone else?

I'm not being mean...just stating a fact.

Speaking of being mean, I've decided that I have been to hard on the girl that we call "White Bread".  She really has done nothing to me, other than dress like a 80 year old and wear white shoes, but I have this irrational dislike of her.  You see, I can create stories in my head...like, intricate, delicately woven stories.  Most of which are in no way factual.  Kind of like my story of White Bread seducing Baby Boy that I have created. I won't go into the details...nor will I discuss the Boy because its too painful, but I am going to try and stop hating her.  This means no more stare downs at the bar and actually responding to emails when she sends them.  I'll keep you informed on how this all works out. It's going to be like a full time job NOT to hate her.

I'll talk about True Blood tomorrow...got to space out these posts. But I'll leave you with some music:

XOXO,
Bunny

Happy Bastille Day bitches!

Joyeux Anniversaire France!

 I think we, too, should celebrate France's birthday with a big bottle of wine, a baguette, and a beret. All while listening to this:

I like the Louis version...sue me.

In other news --
Emmy nominations were announced this morning...and guess who is on the list...wait for it...wait....Josh motherfucking Charles. I obviously think that he got the shot out because of this blog and maybe a little bit of his acting.  Let's go through the list shall we and pick the winners?

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Johnny Galecki, The Big Bang Theory
Matt LeBlanc, Episodes
Louis C.K., Louie
Steve Carell, The Office
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock

This is a hard one because obviously its Alec, but with Steve Carell's last season in the Office maybe he deserves it.  I personally love Louis CK and would die to see him win because his acceptance speech would be amazing.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire
Michael C. Hall, Dexter
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
Hugh Laurie, House
Timothy Olyphant, Justified
Jon Hamm, Mad Men

Jon Hamm. I say this without a doubt because of a couple things...1. Boardwalk Empire stunk like New Jersey garbage.  The first 4 episodes were interesting, then just fell flat. 2. I don't feel that Dexter did anything special this season to win an award.  and 3. why is House still on this list?  That show needs to be canceled.  Its the same story every week.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries of Movie
Edgar Ramirez, Carlos
Greg Kinnear, The Kennedys
Barry Pepper, The Kennedys
Idris Elba, Luther
Laurence Fishburne, Thurgood
William Hurt, Too Big to Fail
Well you all know what a big nerd I am and how much I loved Too Big to Fail, so I'm going with Billy Hurt.


Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Laura Linney, The Big C
Melissa McCarthy, Mike & Molly
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Amy Poehler, Parks and Recreation
Martha Plimpton, Raising Hope
Tina Fey, Liz Lemon
I'm going out on a limb here and say Melissa McCarthy.  I've actually never watched Mike and Molly, but I thought she was hysterical on Bridesmaids.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Kathy Bates, Harry's Law
Mireille Enos, The Killing
Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men

If fucking Mireille Enos wins, I swear to the lord baby jesus, I will go carnival freak show on someone.  I swear I will scratch someone's eyes out. I'm calling Julie Margulies on this one. After I found out Elisabeth Moss was a scientologist, I just can't seem to like her.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie
Diane Lane, Cinema Verite
Elizabeth McGovern, Downton Abbey
Kate Winslet, Mildred Pierce
Taraji P. Henson, Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story
Jean Marsh, Upstairs Downstairs

I love Diane and I thought Cinema Verite was interesting, but I loved Downton Abbey and Upstairs Downstairs.  Mildred Pierce was a piece of crap and I wish I'd never watched it.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Chris Colfer, Glee
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Modern Family
Ed O'Neill, Modern Family
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
Ty Burrell, Modern Family
Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men

I'll be happy with any of the Modern Family guys.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
Josh Charles, The Good Wife
Alan Cumming, The Good Wife
Walton Goggins, Justified
John Slattery, Mad Men
Andre Braugher, Men of a Certain Age

I was so excited to hear Josh had been nominated, but then I saw the rest of the men in his category. Holy shitballs...this is a good group of men. Game of Thrones is only good because of Peter Dinklage.  Alan Cummings is amazing and John Slattery is the perfect drunk, cheater of the 1960s.  Ugh...poor Josh.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie
Tom Wilkinson, The Kennedys
Guy Pearce, Mildred Pierce
Brian F. O'Byrne, Mildred Pierce
Paul Giamatti, Too Big to Fail
James Woods, Too Big to Fail

Nerd rage again...but I'm going James Woods here.  His character was a dick and he played him so perfectly. Paul was also excellent as Bernake, but I call it for Woods.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Jane Lynch, Glee
Betty White, Hot in Cleveland
Julie Bowen, Modern Family
Sofia Vergara, Modern Family
Kristen Wiig, Saturday Night Live
Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock

I am a huge Golden Girls fan. HUGE. My GG trivia knows no bounds. But stop. I'm sick of your old-adorableness. Jane Lynch will win, but I kind of hope Sophia Vergara gets it...I love her.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire
Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife
Christine Baranski, The Good Wife
Margo Marindale, Justified
Michelle Forbes, The Killing
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men

Congratulations on your nom Michelle Forbes. You'll probably win for your misery in your miserable show.  Calling it for Christine Baranski.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie
Maggie Smith, Downton Abbey
Evan Rachel Wood, Mildred Pierce
Meilssa Leo, Mildred Pierce
Mare Winningham, Mildred Pierce
Eileen Atkins, Upstairs Downstairs

I don't understand what the rage of Mildred Pierce was.  It was a boring book, with a sub-par movie, and an dumb recreation. Yes, I get that it was racy in the 50s, but that's just standard today.  I guess I would pick ERW because her performance as Vita made me want to jump thru the tv and strangle her.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Which means, for the love of god, comment on this post. I'm sick of writing crap, sending it out, and then no one comments. So please...for my sanity, tell me I'm doing something worthwile.

The End of Harry Potter

I don't know if I can bring myself to watch the final movie, because then it will finally be over.  Yes, I read the books and I know what happens, so basically I know that it is over. But it's just so sad. I mean, we've watched these babies grow up into real people...and whoa what a ride. Holler at your girl, Malfoy!

Let's do some then and nows shall we?

Harry Potter:

 

Wow. Just look how adorable that kid was...and now, he takes his clothes off on Broadway and gets it on with a horse. Sure. Okay.
Ron Weasley:

 

No matter how many times I see him, he is always disheveled and looks to be a bit of a stoner. But I do love his red head.

Hermione Granger:

Ya'll Hermione is not a girl, not yet a woman. But I love her 'fuck-you' hair.

Draco Malfoy:

 

LORD.  I was reading an article in WSJ today about how excited Tom (Draco) is that he will be able to go into the sun and not have to dye his hair.  Ohhhh Tom. Trust me when I say, the dye will get the girls every time.  I also like his brief cameo in Get Him To The Greek.

Neville Longbottom:

GODDDAMNNNN Neville. Guess all that time in Herbology did a body good. Give me a call sometime.

XO,

Bunny

PS - A big shout out to the "new girl at work" who helped me drink my blues away late into the evening. After she told me that she thought I hated her the first 3 weeks she worked her, I think she may have to be spared from the Burn Book this week. But just this week. Why do people think I am so mean?? I feel that I'm the nicest damn person in the world. Yes, I have been called "the meanest mean girl of all the mean girls"...a title I wear with some honor, but seriously yall.  The restraint I showed alone last night not telling this White Bread girl that she needed to cut the string on her suit coat, was award winning. Seriously, I should have won an oscar. I'm just saying.
