Irony


The other night I watched an airplane get pulled out of the bottom of the Hudson River from my friend's living room window for hours on end. It was probably one of the stranger things I have ever seen.
Today I booked a flight to Miami for President's Day Weekend. This is a weird world.

I need a perfect white eyelet dress, lots of neon, cute wedges and mermaid hair (this one might be a bit more difficult).

Oh, do yourself some favors:

Gallopin' Gertie


In class my professor showed us this INSANE video of the Tacoma Bridge collapsing in 1940. It is really scary to watch because the entire bridge is literally twisting around until it inevitably snaps and collapses. AND on top of that, in the video you can see the craziest person alive TRY TO DRIVE ACROSS THE BRIDGE. Thank godddd for advances in engineering because all of this was caused simply from wind not being taken into consideration during the design phase. Makes me a leeetle more scared to drive in bad weather!

Dr. Fish


The things people will do for the sake of beauty... The new "up and coming" pedicure is a fish pedicure, where little carp (toothless fish) nibble away at the dead skin on your feet in a communal tub for about 15-30 minutes, after which you'll get a regular pedicure MINUS the razors. The razors are the part that they were trying to eliminate by creating this crazy pedicure, due to problems at a spa in Virginia (Yvonne Salon) with state regulations regarding razors used during pedicures.
While I love my regular pedicures and I am definitely open to new sorts of beauty treatments, I think it'll be a loooong time before I work up the courage to have a fish pedicure.
