How old were you when you learned to tie your shoes?
I want to say three or four. One of my uncles got me a “life-size” (aka toddler size) Mickey Mouse doll that had shoes with laces. I practiced on his shoes and mastered my own shortly there after.
Have you ever snooped in somebody else’s medicine cabinet?
Not too much. Maybe just a couple people I know pretty well. I am not in to violating other people’s personal spaces/lives.
Some of my favorite and least favorite looks from the “Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Let me just say…finding even a few looks I actually liked was quite a chore.
Rachel Bilson looked great in a green silk dress by Bally creative director Brian Atwood.
Eva Mendes looked chic in a Calvin Klein Collection gown and Fred Leighton jewels.
Blake Lively looked gorgeous in a daring Versace gown.
Gisele and Tom always look great. This blue Versace minidress really suits her.
Ok…now for the worst.
What is Leighton Meester wearing…or thinking? Is this Louis Vuitton getup even real? Eek.
LOL
Katy Perry wore Tommy Hilfiger and liked it….I, on the other hand, did not.
I don’t even know why Kirsten Dunst is famous anymore, but this Chanel Haute Couture gown isn’t helping.
Eva Longoria Parker really wants us to notice her in this Diane von Furstenberg gown.
?
Rihanna…I usually adore your style…you’re never one to shy away from taking a chance and totally owning it. This Dolce & Gabbana menswear inspired suit just isn’t it. I adore your hair, though.
President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden went on a burger run in Virginia today. They stopped by Ray’s Hell Burger and ordered a couple of burgers for themselves and some to go. The President was offered his lunch on the house, but he graciously turned down the offer paying for all the burgers and trying to treat other people at the restaurant, even leaving a tip in the jar before sitting down for lunch.
Vacuuming…it’s just so much trouble. I would much rather dust.
What’s the best museum you’ve ever visited?
One I really enjoy is the Titanic museum in Branson, MO. I have yet to visit the Louvre, though
It’s Star Wars Day today. I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars movies. What “common” movies haven’t you seen?
May the 4th be with you! Hehe. I love the Star Wars movies, I was raised on them. One “common” movie I haven’t seen is “ET”, everyone think it’s blasphemy that I haven’t seen it!
I finally got to the KFC’s new chicken offering..Kentucky Grilled Chicken. I am not a huge fan of greasy, fried foods so this came as a welcome change to me. It was very juicy, well-seasoned and tender. I found it to be just as satisfyingly tasty and the regular Original Recipe fried chicken then KFC is famous for. I hope this really catches on because it’s a much healthier option for all us chicken lovers that retains the excellent taste of its heart-clogging counterpart. So, if you’re in the mood for some delicious chicken, give the new grilled chicken from KFC a try! It’s definitely worth it.
Manic Monday…in addition to worrying about the economic downturn we can now add swine flu to the list! Check out these resources to learn more about what’s really going on with the swine flu.
Ok, that’s enough for now. Let’s all wash our hands, be careful if we’re sick and try to get through this without panicking.
What’s the best summer job you ever had?
I’ve never really had a summer job. I had a part-time job in high school working at a dog kennel. I hated it, but I was very thin from all the physical work.
Tell me about the worst date you ever went on.
Ugh…in high school I went out with this guy I thought I’d really click with. He was smart, funny and a deep thinker. It was actually just awkward and seemed forced. When he asked if he could kiss me I knew there was no chance of another date.
Do you think the age for a driver’s license should be raised (currently 16 here in the U.S.)?
I was actually just discussing this yesterday because some punk-ass teen driver cut me off on the road. I do think it should be raised to eighteen-twenty.
When I watched the above video of 47-year old Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent…I was blown away by her amazing performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables. Not once did it cross my mind that she wasn’t a size zero blonde who has been splashed across the tabloids drunkenly falling out of her SUV. It didn’t cross my mind that I didn’t know the multitude of men she has slept with and publicly (and embarrassingly) broken up with. It didn’t cross my mind that she didn’t have perfectly waxed eyebrows or designer clothes. All I could think about was what a great performance she put on. Since when did talent have to come in a skinny, “sexy” package with no morals? Are you kidding me? I’d rather watch Susan Boyle sing beautiful songs than look at Paris Hilton play tonsil hockey with her newest manwhore. Why do we celebrate moral wrecks like Lindsay Lohan because they are deathly skinny and “attractive” when they don’t contribute anything to society? Why do we mock someone like Susan Boyle for wanting to show the world the talent she possesses even if she isn’t a cookie cutter Hollywood starlet? Go Susan! I for one and rooting for you and don’t give a damn if you’ve ever been kissed or if you live with your cat. Cats are awesome. They are much better friends than cocaine addicts and alcoholics who can’t even keep custody of their children. True beauty is on the inside and I for one am offended by this ridiculous public outcry of “shock” that someone so “unattractive” could be this talented.
