I Love me some Vintage Clothing!!!

Lovelies,  I have recently gotten hooked on AMC's fabulous show "Mad Men"!  And let me tell you - I am more twitterpatied about that show than I can tell you!

I love the story line, I love the characters, I love the cinematography and I LOVE THE CLOTHES!!!!!

I wish I could dress like Joan everyday - all those form fitting garments that say to the world "I'm a Woman - check out my awesome curves!"  Here's some deliciousness for you to feast your eyes on!

And don't we all just love how sweet Peggy looks on the show??  I'm pretty sure they make her more sassy in the second season (don't spoil it for me, lovelies -  I'm only on Episode 5 in the first season!) 

And let's be honest here: Everyone who wants to be Don Draper's mistress Raise Your Hand!!!  (My hand is up so far I think it's going to go through the ceiling!!!)  Hooray for 1960's drama -- now only if they would have some freakin' nudity!  (C'mon if HBO can do it, AMC must be able to pull strings to do it, right?)

Suck it up! (and Get the Gimmies)

Lovlies,  I totally thought Wednesday night's musical theatre class was going to go well!  I had on my hot-to-trot outfit, I was feeling great about my two new songs that I picked to work on, and then I got up there - sang fine - and was told that I need to stop staring at one point on the back wall & "be a Human" when I sing.  

This shouldn't be a problem - I'm a professional, right?  I have loads of training under my belt and I'm a smart girl!  So I tried my best to "be a human" but when I sang my second song the casting director stopped me half way through and said "You're doing it again!!".  I just wish I knew how to stop - I guess what I consider to be "focus" he thinks is just staring for the sake of staring.  Uugh.  I can't win....  But next week we have a lovely lady casting director from Telsey coming to see our auditions!  

Onto other things -I got a FANTASTIC shirt yesterday at Arden B. (which was totally out of my budget, but hey -I'm only young once and I won't be able to pull this type of shirt off in another 15 years -so I best be enjoying it now!)  So I wore it to my Wicked Chorus call audition this morning and it got a TON of compliments!  Hooray!  I love a cute shirt!  :)  ... And I feel really sexy & powerful in it!  (Now if only a boy would ask me out so I could be fierce & wear it on a date!)

Speaking of boys - I'm still totally smitten by the boy in my Musical Theatre Class...  Dreamy Kindness Boy...  He's so hot.  And nice...  Lovelies, if he makes a move I'm done for!  :)

Now onto a few Gimmie items - these are things that I want, that I think I need, which I probably don't really need all that much...

First is this lovely little number  - I  LOVE the color!  (oh and these are all from NY & Co., so it's not mucho expensive - but still a little expensive!)

This next one is GREAT - I like it without the belt - but it's SO pretty when you try it on.  Plus I can bleach it if it gets dirty!  (and it's kinda short with out being whore-y...  Mmeeoww!)

Finally - this super cute pair of shorts....  SO cute, no?  And not tacky short - made for girls with normal thighs!  Love it!

I'm still working on getting myself out of debt, so these might have to be put on hold.  Unless my fairy god mother is out there in Cyber land & wants to purchase for me??  (Hey -it's worth the ask!)

These Are a Few of My FAVORITE THINGS!!

Lovelies,

Oprah has her favorite things.

Maria in "The Sound of Music" does, too - so I thought I'd share a few of mine! 

Let's start with the BEAUTY part:

The Body Cream at Bath & Body Works in Black Raspberry Vanilla (the boys love it!)  Plus, it's cream which means it won't dry out as fast as lotion will!

Moisture Surge Relief from Clinique.  LOVE this product!  (didn't realize the pic would be so gi-normous!) Makes my skin feel great!  And for a girl who is prone to dry skin - this lets my thristy skin take a tall drink.

Bumble & Bumble Hair Tonic.  This stuff will re-hydrate my over-dyed blonde tresses any time I want!  It's lightweight, makes it easy for you to comb hair when wet AND smells yummy! Plus, saying the name is rather fun...  (Side story - I dated a guy who worked at L'Oreal hair care development and we argued about this product all the time!  Aren't you all proud of me that I stood my ground and didn't change my opinion just for a guy??!!  Now he's gone & my hair still looks fabulous!)

Bare Escentuals.  This make up has CHANGED MY LIFE!!!  I love it!  Love the coverage!  Love the blend-a-bility, love the SPF 15, love it all!  If you don't have the starter kit yet - do yourself a favor and go to Sephora & buy it!!  

Now onto the CLOTHING Part:

Calypso "Julia" style Dresses.  This wrap dress rocks my world!  Plus they just had a deal where you could buy two for $135.  And it can wrap four different ways!!  What a great thing!

Gap Long & Lean Jeans.  They need to make these things forever.

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Bras.  Seriously.  It's the only type of bra

 I own.  Makes the boosoms nice & round (not pointy - I hate pointy boobies!)  

And Finally - the FOOD! (Hooray for non-anorexia!)

Papa Johns Pizza.   Lovelies, I could die happy knowing that this was my last meal!

The Chocolate Covered Mammoth Strawberries at Godiva.  I try to have at least one a month.  (They're so freakin' expensive, but worth every penny!)

Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Lattes.  'Nuff said.

Peanut Thai Curry with Coconut rice at Wave Thai in New York OR Pha Rom Long Song at Raum Mit in St. Paul.  Both are to die for.  Me gusta Thai food.  

Finally, the perfectly lovely, always wonderful Diet Snapple Raspberry Iced Tea.  

Would love to hear some of my readers favorites!  

... so I Simply Remember my Favorite Things and then I don't FEEL, SO UN-CAST-ABLE!
