how to prevent dress stealing/childish antics.

First of all, I apologize in advanced for the couple of posts to come in the future about prom. This year for prom, one of my classmates came up with an ingenious idea to start a facebook group to ensure that no one at our all girls school, would wear the same dress. I happen to think it's an amazing idea! As soon as a girl has bought the dress / is strongly considering buying it then they post a picture on the groups wall to officially "claim" the dress. I love the idea, because in all honesty, who wants to spend such a special night, comparing yourself to a girl who has the exact same dress as you. Trust me, if that happened to me, I would spend the night making absolute sure I was at opposite ends of the room from the other girl. Oh boy. While I think this is a fabulous idea, lately it's been having many adverse consequences. Lots of drama, but then again, what else is new at an all girls school, right? Save the drama for your mama ladies! But however, I also love seeing everyone's dresses too, beforehand!! It seems the trend this year is long, bright prints. When I went shopping at this Ambiance store on Haight, notorious for their evening dress selection, they told me the contrary, the trend this year was short, dresses. Hmmm, since when have short prom dresses been the trend? What do you think??

Besides the fact, it's starting to hit me that April is going to be a crazy fun month. Spring break/my New York trip is next week, I have to be in a fashion show, mid April, where I'll be in two segments, the prom segment (I will definitely be getting my money's worth from my prom dress, and I'm hoping I can milk free tailoring?? I think yes.), and a party clothes segment. It should be quite exciting.

Hmmm, and to conclude my completely random post about essentially nothing important, I would like to add a final thought on the recent healthcare reform. Let's be honest here, of course this is going to be a HUGE burden to many Americans, in the form of taxes, but I personally think that extending healthcare to millions, is the responsible, and the right thing to do. I must add that I am completely entertained by the GOP's childish antics in the House lately. It's fantastic right? Even if you are a Republican, you have to find some humor in the immaturity of your party. Why can't we all just get along? Thoughts? Perspectives? Ideas? Opinions? Please do share if you feel so inclined to!

Stay classy Mr. Bill. Someone needs to teach the two Houses how to have some class.

its madness!

I am so glad I did not personally enter my March Madness bracket into a pool competition. Although I did believe St. Mary's would upset Villanova... yay! Gotta root for the local underdog. Tomorrow I'll be rooting for Cal in their game against Duke, yeah, I'm not sure how good that'll turn out. Anyways, today was quite a crappy day, heard some not good news, had a 2 hour session with my trainer, but after dinner I had a Kara's Velvet Chocolate Cupcake, so my day got like 100% better! The amazing things cupcakes can do (there goes the burnt calories I thought I lost at the gym this morning). Today I also bought two potential prom dresses. They were from Bloomingdales, and I figure I can return them if I ever find something else, so I stress the word, potential.

potential dress option 1, minus the accessories, the dress consists of the beaded neckline.

potential dress option 2, except I bought in in royal blue.

Both dresses, with the empire waistline, risk making me look big, but then again hide parts that don't need emphasizing. I tried the second dress on, and it fit beautifully, so it's definitely a contender. I have yet to try on the black one, as I'm getting it shipped in. Hmmm, this shall be interesting. Any thoughts on these two dresses? Let me hear it! Tomorrow, I think, I am going to shop at Ambiance, on Haight I haven't shopped there before, but a friend suggested I check it out, as they're notorious for their selection of dresses. But as a boutique in the Haight-Ashbury district, this can either be a super cheap dress place, or extremely, over the top, high end boutique. We will see! Either way, it looks super cute!

Last night I had the privilege (?) to explore the perverted, hilarious, creepy, crazy world of Chatroulette. There is no way I would do such a thing alone, so I embarked on this adventure with a couple of friends... and what an adventure it was!After seeing crazy funny screen shots like these, we decided we would wear masks/costumes. So I pulled out my Mexican wrestling mask with attached cape and transformed into a Luchador, while my friends consisted of a Shamrock mask, and a crazy Persian kid with hat. So imagine the reactions of people when they encountered us. I've decided most people on Chatroulette either 1) are aimlessly masturbating, 2) drunk and bored with nothing else to do, 3) are part of the like 1% that actually are looking for meaningful conversation with random strangers. Weird huh? Luckily we didn't encounter TOO many aimless wankers, but did come across old men, 12 year olds (okay, those two listed consecutively like that is a key point as to why chatroulette can be a scary place), stuffed animals, dance parties, parties, a brother and sister, and lots and lots and lots of creeps who only had boobs on their minds. Freaks. The "normal" people we did come across loved our costumes... can I tell you how rewarding it was to put smiles on strangers faces? Very rewarding. It's a funny place, this Chatroulette... and until we meet again, I will be looking for a catsuit (like the one pictured above), or any other cool masks.

boots and things!

Hello! How are you this beautiful Saturday?! Today was possibly the prettiest, sunniest, Saturday morning I've seen in awhile! And I hope you all did something fabulous with your Saturdays! Anyways, after a week of shopping I figured I should post some pictures of my new finds!
These would be my pair of boots I found at Wasteland on Haight. Bargain babies!

New rainboots from good old Target! Yes! Target!!

My new bracelet and 2 finger fleur-de-lis ring. Favesies!

I would post pictures of all of my acquired goods, however the shirts, and other things are much too boring. Let's just say I went a bit overboard. But we're all entitled to go a bit overboard once in awhile right??




Today I saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D! I absolutely loved it! Wasn't it just fabulous?! My favorite part? The dresses! Dresses! Dresses! Dresses! Oh, it was love! Although I must say, there were a huge amount of little children in the theater. Granted, it is a children's story and its rating was (only) PG (!?!?!), but I didn't think it was so child appropriate! Either way I really loved the movie! If I ruled the world/was a movie theater mogul I would make the 3D glasses super cute/decorated, and offer tea during the movie! But that's just me. Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!
