Sigh, I know....

Sometimes women are just not rational when it comes to men (cough...boys), that's why we need our friends.
Is there ever an hour of the day that an episode of Friends is NOT airing somewhere in the world??

I'm Pregnant & I Don't Know It???



Taurus Apr 20 | May 20 
"Rachael Yanetta, a young English woman, got a bellyache while working her regular job at the local pub. Despite the pain, she toughed it out until her shift was over, then went home. Her distress increased, though, and at 3 am she checked into the hospital. A little over an hour later, to her shock, she gave birth to her first child, having been unaware she was pregnant until the very end of her nine-month term. I predict a comparable sequence for you in the coming days, Taurus."

I certainly hope NOT!!! I have put on a few pounds, but that's winter weight - I swear!! Lazy and lethargic, yes, but I'm just a little prone to seasonal depression. This is obviously a metaphor for something else. Right??? This is why I don't like checking my horoscope. The stars are for gazing at, not for offering insight. Again, the stars are bullshit.

*some of the above qualities may be true. :(

My Mother and I Like The Same Music - Part 2

My mother recently shared this video with me. (She's so web savvy!) Alain Clark sings with his father Dane. A nice message and dad has a great voice. Save it, wrap it up and give it to your pops for father's day.

Remember...Remember

Road Trippin'

Despite the fact that winter seems to have returned this week, I'm thinking forward to the Summer. Sun, vanilla soft serve ice cream, road trips, these are just a few of my favorite things. If you don't like road trips, I'm sorry, I don't think we can be friends.  My grandfather used to use say to me - "Just like the white lines, you are always on the road!"

Road trips = road mixes.

A few new(ish) & old journey faves...no not "Journey"...you know those songs that even in the dead of winter bring make you all nostalgic for those warm summer days and nights venturing towards your destination. In no particular order.





Caravan - VAN MORRISON








one last one, for that special nostalgic/cheese factor.
It's a surprise.

Bon Voyage!

MINI Fashion Bloggers Frighten Me.

When I was 12, my mother took me shopping for an outfit for a friend’s Bat Mitzvah. I bought a yellow plastic jumper dress (think raincoat material) and black thigh-highs. It made a swishing noise when I walked and my pudgy legs spilled over my tights, despite that, I thought I looked pretty fuckin cool. I made my mother take pictures, lots of pictures. Now, I would pay my mother to burn those pictures!! She won’t, she loves them. Of course, this was all in the days before the interwebs and blogging. Thank goodness.

Times have changed, now wearing what you think is a super cool ensemble to a p'tay is no longer the way of showing off your style. Tweens are taking their passion for fashion to the Internet, writing and starring in their own blogs for the whole world to see.

Tavi Gevinson is only a 12-years-old, but she's getting tons of attention from NY fashion editors. Editors say this kid knows couture. On her blog, Style Rookie, Tavi posts photos of herself, posing in her favorite designer/designer inspired creations.
She was recently interviewed for the August edition of New York Times T Style. Stay tuned.
Watch the video on her blog. I’m amazed//disturbed by her sense of style and use of language. She says things like "when I was a child", and refers to herself as a "hag". This kid seems original, self-aware, a real old soul. I give her props, but at the same time I find her frighteningly precocious. If you read some of the hype, she’s going to be an editor at Vogue before she graduates high school! Anna Wintour’s blessing pending, of course.

Tavi, is not the only mini-blogger getting buzz and racking up (pun intended) fashion credibility points.
Teen Vogue recently featured a whole spread on young online fashion phenoms. 
I have questions:
1) Where are these kids getting the cash to buy loads of D&G designer duds?
2) Aren’t their parents worried about pictures possible predators can see online?
3) Is blogging replacing Barbie? (soon you will see “Blogging Barbie”- she comes with mini Mac and webcam!!)

USA Today also did a piece on the trend. Clearly it has some parents concerned.


Final thought - It's a scary world (or should I say world wide web) we live in, where cute kids are growing up just so darn fast.
