BEST CHRISTMAS CARD EVER

Genius


HMMMM

So Kesha likes to eat toilet paper. So when she has a BM does that mean she doesn't have to wipe? I'm just saying. I know you had that thought too. Don't judge me or Kesha.

I still can't believe that this happened. I walk with my head down in shame. We lost the game and I hope we lose that coach for the year. Dirt bag hall of fame.

BLAME BARACK?

MLB millionaire Luke Scott decided to give his take on the status of America. Another crackpot that think President Obama was not born in the U.S. He also talks about accountability with Obama but I did not here a peep about the former President Bush who was KING at passing the buck. I'm so sick and tired of these obscure RANDOM ding dongs just going off.

Know your role son! You work for a man that donated to your current President's campaign. Let's see you talk shhh about the individuals who own your team and essentially own YOU.

Here is the full interview below.

ME

So, today December 1st is the day I was born 33 years ago. That makes me 33 years young. The reason I say that is because I feel young and possibly act too young. I am doing things I never thought i would ever do and there are many things I still want to accomplish. Today is my real THANKSGIVING. I would like to give thanks to all the people that challenge me mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally. I am thankful for my beautiful parents who have always been there for me and always will be. I am thankful that I get such a great opportunity to LIVE IN THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD. I am thankful for my friends and Family. There are so many to name so I'm just going to say everyone from A-Z. OK here goes not in any order....Adam, Ayanna, Barrie, Dawn, Eric S., Dre, Cwade, Lila, Julie, Jenny, Gia, Nomad, Jenay, Manushka, Retha, LaShawn, Judith, Jus Cool, Sandra, Nick, Simon, Chad, Alison, Mary, Lindsy, Sherry, Chelsea, Shawna, MO MO, Eric Liu Style, Marchingy, Rachel, Iris, Elina, Gleana, Sabrina, Roody, Steve, Danny, Ouzama, Glenn, Jamison, Jennifer, and Samara. THANK YOU.

There are countless more but it's late and I'm sleepy.

I am thankful for my family. There are not a lot of us but i am glad we are able to be as close as we are. I grew up in a house of four people. We are the strongest four people that I know. I am thankful for my brother who is obviously the core four. As much as we.....you will always be my brother and there is nothing more to say about that. I am thankful for my new sister Michele. She is the sweetest SOUTHERN Belle you will ever meet. And the fact that she likes football too? WINNER!

And i save the last paragraph to the woman that i turn over and wake up to each and every morning. My beautiful GIRLFRIEND. She is going to be so annoyed that I am writing this but I LOVE YOU will all my heart. I love you unconditionally. You are the reason I want to do better and the reason I will succeed in anything that I do. You make life better I LOVE YOU.

To another 33 x 2. That will make me 99. I think that would be fresh to pass away @ 99. Anyway, keep on moving. I'm ready for anything.

POOR CHARLIE

This is unfortunate. I understand that he did take advantage of his power but isn't that what all politicians do? Furthermore, I think he is being made an example to show "you can't get away with this". All politicians are on notice!

If you are happy with your look, own it and walk out of the house and do it. No pulling or tugging just go. DO IT!

Unfortunately, they are subject to this unwanted propaganda. Leave them ALONE. I smell a lawsuit. Vote for me and I'll get you a raise? c'mon!

SCARF STYLE




POLO RUGBY helping me solve my scarf Quandy. Enjoy!



1. Before it gets too cold to leave home without a jacket, use a tweedy scarf as a transitional piece for a look that’ll provide subtle autumn edge to your workday wardrobe. To achieve: This one's easy. Loop the scarf loosely around your neck, with both ends hanging casually down front.



2. As it gets slightly chillier, add a sweater and turn that same scarf into a neck wrap. This option is an elegant solution if you don’t feel like rocking a turtleneck; it’ll still keep you toasty and on-trend. To achieve: Wrap the scarf twice around your neck, fairly tightly, and then tuck both ends in for the cool, chunky look of an infinity scarf.



3. When it comes time to add a coat, an ascot knot that’s a tad askew pairs well with a casual jacket, like the military bomber above, to add warmth while maintaining a lean silhouette. To achieve: Drape both ends of the scarf over your shoulders, then cross them, pulling the left side through the loop you’ve created. Tighten the knot slightly, so it’s slightly askew, and keep the lengths of the tails asymmetrical. Remember, this works best when your coat is worn open, as tassels hanging out from beneath your zipped jacket is never a good look.






4. For an incredibly easy way to bring a trench coat out of Inspector Gadget territory, don’t forget that a scarf, after all, is an accessory. And sometimes that’s all you need. To achieve: Simply drape it over your shoulders to add texture and pattern to an otherwise monochromatic look as you don outerwear for crisp or stormy weather.



5. And on that theme, as you move into dressier fall looks (herringbone blazers, for instance), the scarf’s purpose can switch from warming your neck to adding texture to your outfit. A houndstooth scarf mixed with a herringbone jacket will add a dapper twist to preppy tweeds.To achieve: Loop around your neck and throw one tail nonchalantly over your shoulder. Keep the front one longer, as it should hit about hip level.



6. Finally, for truly cold weather, go Italian with the appropriately named Euro knot. To achieve: Fold the scarf in half so that the ends meet, drape around your neck and pull the ends through the loop. This style looks best tucked into a military coat with an open neck or a toggle coat fastened halfway. The elevated knot will add dimension and fills out the open space under the coat’s collar.

BANANAS (RACHEL ZOE VOICE)

Holy Crap,

Via Freshness Mag

As many of you know that I am a sneaker aficionado. Well a little less than obsessed but extremely close to it. Anyway, these beauties are up for auction. Nike is rumored to be releasing these bad boys sometime in the future. Hey all you lovely people in Oregon please grant the wish of 1,000,000 of us who are drying to lace up (well not really lace up because they are self lacing) a pair of these jawns. Man I am really excited about this auction. I can't afford it but one can dream. SWOOSH! JUST DO IT!!

SALES TAX BACK 4.375%

Via Racked.com

Clothing and shoes under $110 will cost you 4.375% more today than they did yesterday thanks to New York State, which just brought back the tax four years after the last time it was rescinded. The increase should last through next April, at which point it disappears, but only for everything under $55. Of that 4.375%, by the way, only the four percent goes to the state—the other .375 goes to the MTA.

MTA? Really? More money goes to them and yet our metro cards increase and the service continues to be cut. BULL DUNKY.

TOO SEXY FOR A YOUNG BOY

When I was a kid there were all these sexy videos that I was not allowed to watch but if you stayed up late enough you were indulged with the sexiness. It wasn't really the in your face visual images. It was more the in your face lyrics. Enjoy!

FWINTER

Allison sent me this WSJ ARTICLE about LL BEAN being the driving force of the fashion runway. I agree. This FWINTER (FALL/WINTER) it will all be back to basics with a little flair. I am all about the back to basics. Brands like Barbour Filson and the venerable LL BEAN are on everyone's radar.

Below are some pieces I hope to add to the FWINTER wardrobe.

90210 PARTY AT M1-5 LOUNGE
You might think that today's just an ordinary Thursday in early September. Well, you'd be wrong. Today, 09/02/10, happens to be 90210 Day, and to celebrate, the folks at MI-5 Lounge are throwing a full-on bash inspired by the beloved teen soap. Head down to the Peach Pit After Dark (aka M1-5) in a Bongo sundress and some Sam & Libby flats, and rock out to early '90s tunes all night long. Who knows, maybe you'll meet your future Dylan (or Brandon... or Steve... or... David... or even Mr. Walsh -- he was kind of hot!).

HOMOPHOBIA

I was reading Nick's Football blog post when I came across this interesting article about homophobia in soccer. It brings up an interesting point that I am sure is not ever going to be resolved. Being gay in sports where men are "touching" one another to a straight man seems "not cool". Look I'm straight and the last thing i am going to be thinking about if someone is gay that is chasing, tackling, tripping, jumping on, etc. I guess it is me being tolerant and open minded? Or maybe it's the fact I could care less?

This is such a hot button issue that my computer keys are burning. Gotta go!!

Dueces!!

Cee-Lo Green aka Mr Goodie Mob aka Smoothest Voice in the South. Remember he used to be a rapper. Oh yeah and that little group called Gnarls Barkley just came out with a song that i swear has been in about 80% of the population's head. F U is amazing. Love ya Mr. Green.

Back when he was a rapper I was introduced to his voice with this gem:

TUM TA TUM TUM TUM

I just came from the Deli downstairs of my office building and I was just there getting a little bagel. As always when I go down there are tourists all over the joint ordering various eggs, breads, yogurts, etc. I try not to listen to what people order because I don't want to judge but this morning I was forced into the land of no return. After I ordered my bagel with scallion cream cheese (thanks Mrs. Shulman and Mrs. Gardos) I overheard this woman order two eggs with sliced turkey on a roll (not so terrible) but the next three words will have me scarred for life. She asked for it with VEGETABLE CREAM CHEESE!! The guy behind the counter asked her to repeat her order and she repeated it and he replied "all on the same sandwich" She said "YES" like it was a strange request.

I immediately looked down at her stomach to see if she had a baby bump and there was not one visible. I could not wrap my brain around what the hell this woman was thinking. I wanted to cancel my order because I was so confused, slightly disgusted, and just shocked. I then began to imagine what that would taste like in my mouth and I began to gag. I took my bagel and ran the hell out of there thinking to myself. Lady you just ruined my breakfast. Does anyone else eat anything weird or extra gluttonous?

I did once have a bacon and cream cheese on a bagel. Don't judge me. So, I guess maybe I shouldn't judge her. It is really hard not to.

BRILLIANT

LEBRON

My thoughts on Lebron going to Miami to play for the Miami Heat:

I still don’t understand how this is the easy way out. All of these athletes are there to put on a show. There is no loyalty. It is a job. If you were offered another job with an opportunity for growth and possibly making your life happier you would not take it? Of course you would. Get off the guy's back and watch the “SHOW”
So sick of people thinking that LeBron owed anyone anything. You pay MONEY to watch him perform. I am glad he is free to fight another fight in a city he knows nothing about. Break those shackles Lebron! Good Luck in Miami and with your future. Remember these athletes are slaves to these contracts. Good Luck Lebron. You do not owe anyone...ANYTHING! He could be the best scorer of all time and never win a championship and they would still talk Shit about him. That was always the knock with Wilt Chamberlin......He was not a winner. Well Lebron wants to win!
