true blood

I have an addictive personality when it comes to TV shows. Last year I watched all six seasons of Sex and the City within 2 weeks, and then after that I watched all 6 seasons of Weeds within a month too! So unhealthy, its such an issue. Right now I'm absolutely HOOKED on True Blood. Why the shit didn't I watch this before?! Vampires, werewolves, rednecks, blah blah blah... All I see is hot hot hot men, sexy southern accents, and a pretty decent story line too. But seriously, the show is all about these hunks...

Vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) is very much the pained, romantic vamp Edward Cullen was... but 100x better (sorry Rob Pattinson). He's got a sexy, smoldering look that can seriously melt a girl, and he's a southern gentleman. Mmmm mmm! I'll take some of that southern hospitality!

My personal favorite, Alcide (Joe Manganiello). Let's just take a second to admire that body........... Done? Pretty damn delicious. He's a werewolf in True Blood, and just like in Twilight, sexy werewolves like Jacob Black and Alcide tend to run a little hot. And you wonder why.. 

Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten) is just nice to look at. On the show he's got the bad boy / heartthrob / sex machine down, but if his southern drawl drives you crazy - in a good way of course - you should hear his accent in real life. He's a sexy Aussie man, who, I'm sure isn't that far from Jason Stackhouse. Yum yum!

Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) is basically the most badass, sassiest muthafuckaa around. He's basically the gay best friend I dream about. With all of the testosterone floating around, someone has to keep everyone in check. Lafayette is the original sassafras! Love him. 

This fine Nordic specimen (Alex Skarsgard) is another bloodthirsty vamp who is definitely a libido raiser. All I can say is, you can suck my blood anytime Eric Northman.

As the True Blood theme song says, 

"I wanna do bad things with you".

charlotte olympia fall 2011

Move over Red Sole faithfuls (AKA you Loubobutin fanatics)! Charlotte Olympia's golden spider web soled shoes are the sexiest, funnest, and funkiest collection this fall - in my book at least. The tootsies of Blake Lively, Katy Perry, Keira Knightly, and my idol SJP tend to favor Miss Charlotte Olympia's fashions. Check out my favorites!

Such an innocent name for such a sexy shoe! Leopard print and blush pink are way too cute together. This platform pump is just too amazing to not comment on. Love.

Talk about cute! So obsessed with these I have no words. Except, meeeeeoowww! 

Beautiful collection, yes?

books

Harry Potter?- Wouldn't exist. Twilight?- Edward who? The classics? Out the door. What would our world be without books?! Honestly. Sit. And. Think. About. It.

Give it some good thought? Our world would seriously suck without books. Let's be literal for a second here: Books tell stories. Great ones, amazing ones. Now let's be cliche: Books inspire imagination. Let's be real: Books are fucking amazing. I'm not talking about Nooks, Kindles, etc. I'm talking about a physical book that you go check out from a library, or buy from a store. So old school right? That's the way it ought to be. Books deserve a cover, a spine, pages to flip. They lose their character when you rewrite them to format them for a screen. I'm thankful for printed books.

what are you thankful for?

sassy, classy betch

"Everyone thinks they know so goddmamned much about everything, and no one knows fuck all about anything!" -Carrie Bradshaw

Miss Carrie Bradshaw. Albeit, she is a fictional character, but she is one sassy and classy betch. For all you SATC (Sex and the City) novices - shame on you, might I add - Carrie Bradshaw/Preston, is the classiest New Yorker there is. The OG of fashionistas, and a sex columnist, Carrie lives the life any girl dreams about. She's sexy, sassy, savvy, smart, and silly. This betch has it all. Oh and BTW, she has a hunky, dreamy, Wall Street savvy Mr. Big. Um where can I get one, please? So basically betches and bitches want to be her, and its not only because of her amazing closet, (the shoe collection resembling everything you've ever seen in Vogue is only part of it!) its basically because she's a crazy sassy and classy betch.

classy vs. unclassy

-Will and Kate in matching outfits! Kate can definitely pull of this boyish style.... even when she's shopping for groceries! (Sidenote: Why the f*** is everyone so damn fascinated every time Kate goes grocery shopping? I don't get it. Now clothes shopping, that's another story) Basically anything this couple does is ridiculously #CLASSY

-On the boyish style topic: Lady Gaga released her new album cover for 'You and I' (umlauts over the u - of course!) single and simultaneously introduced her male alter ego who eerily resembles Prince. Anyone else think so? Anyways, Mother Monster has a photo book in the making by the notorious Terry Richardson (read: creep, porny, gross). Gaga's note on Richardson? "he'd film me, like, peeing in a cup, and, like ridiculous things". We can't wait to see that in the book, now can we Little Monsters? Hm methinks there are things that should stay behind closed doors. #UNCLASSY

-The cast of Glee at the 'Glee 3D Concert' premiere. Super stylish and super #CLASSY. My favorite was Dianna Agron! Absolutely gorgeous! I love her hair, makeup, and her dress! I love her!

-Speaking of concerts...Oh RiRi. In her concert in Barbados, Rihanna brought up a 60 year old fan(? maybe innocent bystander), to grind on top of during one of her songs. Hey, I have no backstory here so I'm not quite sure what was going on, but SO many things! Number one, what is this guy doing at a Rihanna concert? Was a Grateful Dead coverband opening? Number two, most Rihanna (male- and some female) fans would be ecstatic to be brought on stage and grinded on (I guess?), but this guy?! This guy looks miserable - as if he's just been given a death sentence. Maybe he's just not into a little S&M ? #UNCLASSY.

sunshine

It makes my days brighter and warmer! How can you not be thankful for sunshine? Dreary days are so passe. Everything is just better with the sunshine. Go to your itunes and type in "sun" and see how many songs pop up. Yeah. Shit's popular. Everyone loves sunshine. Shouldn't it be a proven fact that sunshine automatically yields happiness? Yeah it should.

I am SO exhausted. I'm so done with work. My summer job has legitimately dominated my whole summer. For the 4th year, I'm working again as a lifeguard and swim instructor at my local pool. Cool that I'm making bank? Um hell yeah. Cool that I have no life? F*** no. Whatever, at least I have a pretty decent tan! Don't get me wrong, I have some pretty amazing perks to my job. I get to hang out and essentially do nothing all day with my best friend (pictured above with me). The people I work with are the chillest, most amazing people ever. Basically, I do what I want. Downside? I don't really like kids. No wait. I don't like kids. And considering 80% of my job is teaching kids and pretending to like them, it just gets absolutely exhausting after 7 weeks. I also have a really shitty patience and tolerance level with most kids. I'm making money, and I'm getting tan. That's what I keep telling myself. Besides, I need the extra $$ for New York!

Speaking of which, I'm moving to NYC (later Villanova, helloooo NYU!) in less than a month! It's ridiculous, right? I'm pretty damn excited to be in the Village. What else is there to say? I'm about to become a NewYorker, bitches.
