It's that time again...

Off to Sin City tomorrow. Couldn't come at a better time except I have approximately one thousand things to do before my flight tomorrow/I am going to be on the plane during the delayed continuance of the Phillies game (gah!). Friends, family, Criss Angel (lolz), gambling, shopping, spas, excessive amounts of drinking, the Grand Canyon?, oh and how could I forget...

HALLLLOWEEEEEINERRRR in Vegas V2.0! Can't wait to see a million Palin and Joker costumes (still mad there will be no Lauren Pilla as Heath Ledger as the Joker, but whatever).
Everyone be saaafe, have fun, don't have a lame cat costume, and most of all, eat as many of these as humanly possible.


And because I crack myself up oh so very much, you all should be aware that Greg Dobbs IS the new black:


Cole 'the Kitten' Hamels, Bane Victorino/Meerkat Victorino, Teddy Bear Howard, Jason 'Dragon' Werth and Pat Burrell as Ron Jeremy coming soon... LETS GO PHILLIES!

I know that the Obama 'HOPE' poster has been replicated everyyywhere, but I stole this one -- THE BEST ONE -- from my friend, Amanda:


And while we're on the subject of the most perfect and polite man in the entire world, somebody REALLY needs to get me this (for my birthday?!):

The Tim Gunn bobblehead would look so lovely next to my Sigmund 'Siggy' Freud action figure. And he EVEN says 'make it work' and 'carry on'! So it is extra easy for someone to gift this to me, you can buy it at the Official Bravo TV Store for only $24.95! Plleeeeeease?!

Nuggets of Wisdom

I looove Chelsea Handler. She is the only present day female comedian I do not want to punch in the stomach each and every time they open their mouth (any guess who I am referring to?). Oh, wait, I obviously love Ellen too... Anyway, Chuy is pretty incredible in this PSA as well:


OH and I couldn't find this video on YouTube but if you want to see Emile Hirsch doing what he does best (which is being incredibly attractive)/telling you to vote, then go here.

Commercial Success?

I like Cat Power. I have for a long time now. But is it strange that I like her cover songs in commercials maybe more than her actual albums?


This one is OBVIOUSLY great because 'Space Oddity' has always been one of my favorite David Bowie songs, and we all know about my feelings for Bowie...


I also love Cat Stevens and this is one of the many commercials that makes me tear up every time (I am a sap).

Oh and this reminds me! I still really wish I had the D&G Ziggy Stardust shirt:

Come on... D&G + my Halloween costume last year = Meant to beeee.

I Should've Played the Lottery Yesterday

Last night was SERIOUSLY more amazing than I ever could have hoped. While seeming very stressful in the beginning -- having to switch between the Project Runway finale and the PHILLIES against the Dodgers when the series was 3-1, come on! But anyway, it ended up AMAZING and everything went precisely how I wanted so, YAY.


The INCREDIBLE Philadelphia Phillies are GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES. Boo on you, Manny and Joe Torre! I will DIE if I get to got to a World Series game. Perhaps I will take this awesome offer into serious consideration. Uhh, lolz? But seriously, FUCK TAMPA LET'S GO PHILLIES!!! I, along with the rest of Philadelphia, are not going to be normal humans until this series is over... I apologize ahead of time.

And then there was Project Runway. Now, after falling in love with (the dreaded) Kenley's wedding dress, I began to worry that I might fall in love with her collection. However, those fears were quickly cast aside when I saw it and everything either a) sucked (Betsey Johnson clearance rack anyone?), b) ripped off of Balenciaga (you and I are on the exact same page, Nina), or c) ripped off of Alexander McQueen. Oh, yes Kenley, we know, you don't "look" at other designers. First of all, that is a blatant lie because I highly doubt it was just coincidence that you put out rip-offs of two of the most important designers in the world right now less than a year after they did it. But, if you really do not... YOU NEED TO. Throughout history, every important artist/designer/writer has not only looked at but learned from and collaborated with other important artists of their time. Tim was right when he said she needs a fashion history course. However, there was one non-rip-off that I LOVED:


Next was Korto who absolutely SHOCKED me in such a good way. Her line was so fun and original yet totally wearable. Seriously, give me these now:



I almost got torn between wanting her and Leanne to win because I LOVED her collection so much... however Leanne had been a consistent favorite of mine throughout the entire season and her collection was absolutely bringing fashion to a new level. It wasn't just "original" but her collection has seriously NEVER been seen before and I loved it!



Love you, you fabulous little bunny!

The TV Talks the Fear Right Out of You

Two albums I had been pretty excited about came out today...

Keane - Perfect Symmetry
This album, in typical Keane fashion, sounds a lot like The Killers. However, the songs are really fun/good and the album is definitely worth trying out. I have only listened to it completely through one time so far so I have to listen to it again a few times before I form a real opinion on it, but what I DO know is that listening to it that one time through is that it has made me even more excited for The Killers' new album, Day & Age, to come out on November 25 (or to leak before that). The first single, 'Human', is REALLY good... a little different sounding without sounding like a completely different band. And, from what I remember when I saw them in August, the other new songs sounded amazing as well. Now if they would only release a video for 'Human' so I could get my Brandon Flowers fill.


Copeland - You Are My Sunshine
They are one of those bands that I have loved forever (hi my screenname is from their first split EP that came out in high school) and although they never do anything revolutionary, they always come out with a good album with great lyrics sang by an incredible voice. And that is pretty much what this album is like. So if you like sappy ~love~ songs (that have gotten a bit more optimistic with this album) then you would really like the album. My personal ABSOLUTEFAVORITESONGTHATIAMOBSESSEDWITH is 'On the Safest Ledge'. Here is the (really bad) video for the first single, 'The Grey Man'...


Somebody send me more new music please? I have fallen behind!

More Reasons to Love Philadelphia

Everyone's faaaavorite ~hockey mom~ getting intensely booed while dropping the first puck at the Flyers game.
(Uhh, who agreed that she could do this anyway?)

Phillies are 2-0 in the NLCS over the Dodgers.
#1. Fuck Manny Ramirez.
#2. Moyer, pleeeeeease do not fuck it up tonight.
#3. Cole Hamels, I am glad you exist...


I can't really pay attention to hockey (although I am super excited for it) or football (even though the Eagles actually won today!) until baseball is over... and with the Sillies getting closer and closer to the World Series, it gets more and more exciting/nerve wracking by the day! I cannot even IMAGINE what this city will be like if they make it... I really hope I get to find out!
