SATC 2

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristen Davis, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon attend Sex And The City 2 premiere

have you seen this yet? i, of course, saw it on opening nite. the only reason i wasn't sorely disappointed was because i dialed my expectations way down a while ago. listen, by most standards of decency this movie stinks. i won't even bother trying to describe the hideosity and just leave it to the critics:
"Thanks to writer-director Michael Patrick King, I now have a fair idea how it might feel to be stoned to death with scented candles." -The Chicago Reader

"Remember the old, boundary-breaking, taboo-toppling Sex and the City? Forget it. Neither sex nor the city plays any role in this film." -Newsweek

"The ugly smell of unexamined privilege hangs over this film like the smoke from cheap incense." -The New York Times

"An enervated, crass and gruesomely caricatured trip to nowhere [that] seems conceived primarily to find new and more cynical ways to abuse the loyalty of its audience." -The Washington Post


that being said, it doesn't matter. this movie is amazing and you must see it! the fashion will blow your mind. it is unparalleled. not to mention the gorgeous apartments, hotels, planes, and oh ya, the 4 white maybachs. and of course, where else would you get to hear the line "Lawrence of my Labia"???

No More Backpacks.


for the love of all things decent, i am asking you to stop carrying a backpack. i know you're gonna try to tell me that its convenient and fits a lot of stuff and is better for your back, but i think you're full of shit. i think that if you're no longer in grade 6, then you have no business carrying a backpack.

backpacks are hideously unstylish. i know that sometimes, people opt for function over style (though honestly, i still don't get it), but this is not one of those cases. the damn things make me cringe. i beg of you, get yourself a nice leather shoulder bag, carry your papers, lunch or running shoes in a tree-friendly canvas bag, or you can even carry a messenger bag for heaven's sake. but please, burn your backpack. or alternatively, you can give it to your 10-year-old niece.

Dreamboat du Jour: Sean Paul with a mohawk!!


seriously? why am i 5 minutes behind on everything? sean paul has done away with his braids and is now sporting this sexy new mohawk. i'm dying.

Moroccan Oil??


just so y'all know, i rarely go looking for new products. my house is overflowing with lotions, potions, and every magical beauty solution around...i don't need anything more. but alas, it seems as though products are trying to find me, because despite my best efforts, i am constantly acquiring new stuff.

Well, apparently Moroccan Oil has my number, because everywhere i look lately, there it is; in magazines, salons, and even on random acquaintances' bathroom counters. this stuff claims to be the miracle hair solution and through a few different incarnations (oil, styling cream, mask, shampoo, etc.) it promises to hydrate, restore, add shine, and blah blah blah. so fine, you win moroccan oil! i am going out this afternoon to buy you (as long as work doesn't call me in) and give you a whirl. results in soon...

UPDATE: after a few uses, i can confirm to you that this stuff is pretty damn special. my hair is noticeably softer with just a little bit of oil applied to freshly washed wet hair. i have yet to try the styling cream, but will, of course, keep y'all in the loop.

The Heifer with an attitude at the grocery store


disclaimer: i really try to be as nice as i can, and for a recovering hater, this can sometimes take a concerted effort. nonetheless, i do my best to put as much love out there as possible. some days, however, people cross the line and all my best efforts go out the window. today was one of those days.

this evening i ran into an old friend at the grocery store. lets just say its been a real long time and things didn't end well. in any case, i glanced up and saw her walking towards me, so i decided to smile, you know, cause why not just be nice, right? well i guess she missed the memo, cause all i got was a snarl. well i'm sorry, but damn honey, that attitude didn't look good on you back in the day and it sure don't look any better now that you've put on 20 pounds...just sayin'
