Does your regional bimbo believe in climate change?

Apparently meteorologists are collectively starting to debunk the theory of global warming. Really? Meteorologists, I don't know about you but my family's weatherman is a bimbo with big tits who use to be on telemundo. She wants to start a debate with Andrew Weaver?  9 out of 10 climatologists are shitting their pants but the local former spanish soft porn actress who stands in front of a green screen playing the guessig game for a living who got an M. A. from communtiy college thinks it's all bullshit. My father's adoration of Consulela's ass is strong, but he like every other Homo Sapien with a fully functioning brain is going to take the word of the Nobel Prize winning climatologist everytime. Mostly because his beloved overly made up bimbo keeps telling him it's going to snow tommorow ( in greater los angeles none the less)    

School is like tough n' stuff

College is not all it's cracked up to be, it fact College is just High School with more expensive books College Is Worse (I have the mascara tear stains to prove it)

1. Your Prof. just assigned you this book and you are suppose to have read it, and written a 4000 word essay on it my 8:00a.m. tommorow morning (that is on top of all the other homework you have)

2. You just realized that half of this bloody book is written in Latin

3. SERIOUSLY?! this stupid book isn't on SparkNotes, there are no matches for it on Google, and you called some of your classmates and they are just as fucking confused and terrified as you are.



[Top: Micheal Micheal Kors, Jeans: Almost Famous, Ankle Boots: Liz Clairbourne]

I'm living in the future so the present is my past, my presence is a present kiss my ass

I realize that the new Spring 2011 looks are very Mad Men inspired (to which I do not object. With all this Jersey Shore nonsense about I think it's about time we brought classy back). Yet I feel my style for fall leaning slightly bohemian (my general style tends to be verious interpratations on preppy casual - conservative) While I still adore the likes of Marni and Prada, and my heart leaps up when I behold anything and everything Marc Jacobs (I almost fainted when I saw his latest for Louis Vuitton. BEAUTIFUL! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! But for me impractical. You can't me accident prone and wear a $900 cashmere sweater set and stillettos,You just can't. I'm also happen to be a student) I think the lines that really spoke to me this season would be Ralph Lauren, and Michael Kors.

RALPH - The white wash of the collections this season put me, a notorious spiller, slightly off but this outfit with it's clean simple mix of a classic button down with the tasselled skirt. Chic yet fuctional. I'll probably trade the strappy sandles for some sturdy ankle boots (like the Alexander McQueen ones below) Much more practical if one need to be running around campus all day.

MICHAEL KORS - Bullocks! You're about to be late for class! What to do? What to wear? You're not about to show up to Economics in your pajamas, your hair a disaster, especially since there are so many hansome potential bankers, stockbrokers, and lawyers sitting around you (one of which you heard could possibly be a Rockefeller). Here is what you do you grab this Kors dress, the below Christian Louboutin flats ( they're just as comfy as your bunny slippers, but much chicer and they're less likely to start questions about your state of mental health), throw that hair up in a high ponytail, brush your damn teeth (you're independent now, not an animal even if you do party like one). And you know what, a little mascara wouldn't kill you either. What? You didn't get home until 3 a.m. Party with frat boys all you want, but don't expect to look fresh faced and the 21st Century's Jacqueline Bouvier the next morning.



MULBERRY - New Favourite. everything sent down the runway was so gorgeous, and totally fuctional AND all the models were sent down the runway wearing fabulous red wigs (which I think is about time knowing one noteable doll of a redhead, whom I'm fortunate enough to call my best friend) I personally am not great with

mono-chromatics. so instead of the powder blue ankle boots I'd go for the  

Cole Haan Suede Wedges (left)



DOLCE & GABBANA -

Just like Ralph Lauren, Dolce was  a sea of white but a

breezy leopard print, lace trimmed maxi-dress that I'll

 be wearing with simple Marc Jacobs flats came sailing down the runway and I was taken. Viva Romance.

DSQUARED2 - As a girl on the go I loved Dsquared2's cheeky menswear inspired line. Unlike a lot of its peers this line is exactly what is suppose to be, Ready to wear. The stand out for me was this brown crocodile print jacket. Throw it over a plain white tee, dark wash jeans and these ruby red Tod's flats, grab your Macbook and get your ass to class.

MENS WEAR:

Three Words: Band of Outsiders.

That name right there IS modern menswear.

Statement made out of personal bias and

prefference to preppy men? Maybe. But I think

ZZ Top said it best,

"every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination

The clear blue skies have put me in a good mood, so I put together a playlist of songs to listen to while sailing

6. "Let Go" by Frou Frou
7. "Heart Skipped A Beat" by The XX
8. "Can You Tell" by Ra Ra Riots
9. "Lua" by Bright Eyes
10. "The Cave" by Mumford & Sons
11. "Youth" by Beach Fossils
12. "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend

Can't Buy Me Love

So, the following people are the inspiration for my ever changing hair

So earlier this year (January?) I was channeling Catherine Zeta-Jones in The Terminal

Febuary: I chopped my shoulder length hair into a pixie styled after actress Carey Muligan

March-April - May: Enjoying my lightweight style I went to keep my style fresh handing my hairdresser a shot of Alice in Wonderland's Mia Wosikowska

Oh dear, oh dear, June. Having lived through the stress of Prom, I was feeling a little too daring and shaved the sides and back of my head (yeah, I shaved it with a pair of electric shears. Stupid) I put the full blame on this picture of Rihanna.







Still June: Having remembered that I still had a graduation ceremony I had to attend I fixed up my hack job best I could with a pair of scissors and a picture of Jean Seberg

The below picture being the end result

Late July: THANK GOD my hair grows fast but by this time
 my hair was getting poufy so I took in a couple of picture (thanks to a little convincing from ELLE's annual best hair feature) to my hair dresser. a clip of Halle Berry and my long hero, Natalie Portman

August was great having a pixie as

my city of residence was struck by a unbearable heat wave.

but my the end of the month my hair started

getting a little bit longer and I got to rock a look that I've long admired: 

The Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) Italian Haircut.

NOW September: So now my hair is really starting to grow out, and well, I'm looking quite like the early beatles based on the below picture I look at the moment, like Paul.

Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die

Home State Home

Because I love California from the highways to the beaches, from Santa Monica Pier to Universal Studios.

ENJOY THE END OF SUMMER <3

We Are The Music Makers, And We Are The Dreamers of Dreams

my top 10 celebrity crushes. just because.

10. JONAH HILL

Yeah, yeah, i know, shut up. I get so much shit for this but he's really funny.

9. JASON SEGEL

In the words of Marshall Ericson himself "I'M CUDDLY BITCH" and someones gotta show the muppet lovin' freak some love (speaking of freaks, how great was Freaks & Geeks, right?) but, seriously, seriously everyones so in love with Ted.






8. QUENTIN TARANTINO

One of the coolest dudes on the face of the planet! REALLY! Name a bad Tarantino movie? Yeah exactly, there isn't one.

7. JAMES FRANCO

I didn't start diggin' on him until seeing him on 30 Rock really. Well, I liked him on Freaks & Geeks. Point is he is getting weirder with age, which is effective in seperating him from the hoards of dull, uninteresting pretty boys (Just check out Dicknose in Paris). Also starring in a biopic of Allen Ginsberg.


6. JAY BARUCHEL

He's Canadian, he has a stutter, and sounds just like Christian Slater. He's also super funny.
















5. JASON SCHWARTZMAN

I love his acting SO MUCH! I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan and he's kinda become one of Wes' regular players. he was a perfectly dark outlandish villian in Scott Pilgrim, also I love Phantom Planet, and Coconut Records.

4. ANDY SAMBERG

"The chronic - what? cles of Narnia"

He's cute, he's funny, and dude can dress (seeing a pattern here?)

3. JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT

He can contort his face just as well as Jim Carrey (only when JGL does it, it's actually cute and funny) he can be serious actor, but "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Fuck You Whore!" is better.

2. PHARELL WILLIAMS

No one in music right now is as fresh, fine or super smooth as Pharrell. He produces the sickest beats, he's super sartorial, and his french McDonalds video is pretty freakin' funny. I was really torn about who #1 would be but it's....

1. SETH MACFARLANE

He's the creator of Family Guy, he provides the voices of Peter, Stewie (which he based on Rex Harrison in 'My Fair Lady'), Brian the Dog (for which he uses his own deep baritone voice), and Quagmire. He's adorable, intellegent, an atheist, a democrat, and he has my three Ds of Comedy down in spades:

Dark, Dirty, and Deadpan. Cheers to him.

iTunes Not A Celebrity Playlist

1. "My Boo" by Usher ft. Alicia Keys - I can't help but love this song, it's so sweet. Usher's Confessions album was just insane. Brings back memories.



2. "VCR" by the XX - I'm such a huge XX fan. This whole album is so brilliant. So hard to pick just one song.


3. "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye - One of the sexiest voices to ever bless the music buisness. It's one of those songs that everyone knows and can't help but sing along to.


4. "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" by Vampire Weekend - I'm kind of a VW groupie. So in love with these guys, they have sound that's purely their own. If I ever decided to become a singer I'd want Rostam Batmanglij as my producer.


5. "Osaka Loop Line" by Discovery - Furthur proof of Rostam Batmanglij's genius, he and Ra Ra Riot frontman Wes Miles bring the sickest beats.


6. "Meiple" by Robin Thicke ft. Jay-Z - I can't recall a smoother duo, Such a bangin' track. Using Brigitte Bardot's "Moi Je Joue" as a hook, genius.


7. "Whatever You Like" by Anya Marina - It's rare for a cover to be better that the original, but I love this easy flowing, super svelte, sexy Anya Marina version of the T.I. song.


8. "Just You and Me" by Zee Avi - My best friend sent me this song a little while ago and I adored the calm, beachy vibe of Zee Avi's album


9. "The Book of Love" by The Magnetic Fields - The deep voice of the lead singer, and the slow melody puts me at ease.


10. "First Day of My Life" by Bright Eyes - Beautiful Song, not unlike every other song by the poetic Conor Oberst.


11. "Black Sheep" by Metric - I love this song I've seen Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World twice now and Envy Adams singing black sheep which is sung by Emily Haines whom Envy is based on. Just love it.


12. "I Am Not A Robot" by Marina & The Diamonds - For an indie artist this song is pretty kitchy and pop driven, at least I think so. I like it.


13. "The Summer" by Coconut Records - I'm totally smitten with Jason Schwartzman, I think he's such a great actor, and I was pretty big Phantom Planet fan back in the day too. Coconut Records is playlist constant for me.


14. "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley - Probably my favourite Elvis Presley song. Can't argue with The King.


15. "Rill Rill" by Sleigh Bells - I consider this a roadtrip song. It's got a steady beat and it's incredibly catchy.


16. "Thieves" by She & Him - A beautiful song, these two can do no wrong in my eyes.

17. "There Goes the Fear" by Doves - A sweet song. Recalls 500 Days of Summer with Tom and Summer running through Ikea.


18. "Heartbreaker" by MSRTKRFT ft. John Legend - I had this song on repeat for the longest time. And a rare case of the video being perfectly matched. Great beat.

19. "Halo" by Beyonce - I'm generally a total ass about disregarding anything on Top 40 radio but the odd one creeps on my radar. This so is beautiful and the beat has so much going on, it helps convey this epic love story.


20. "The End" by Best Coast - I can't get enough of Best Coast right now. Not to mention the strong personal connnection to this song


21. "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" by LCD Soundsystem - No matter where I am, what mood I'm in this song always brings a smile to my face.

I'm Blue da-ba-dee, da-ba-di

For years now I've been mocking my stepfather for wearing a denim shirt over his Levis

("this isn't the '80s Troy"), and it looks as if now i might have to apologize *deep mournful sigh* because after seeing the above shot of Alexa Chung (seen with Pixie Geldof at the House of Holland show in London) I now truly believe the likes of NYLON and TeenVogue.com that the Denim on Denim trend is back and maybe, just maybe, bigger than ever. Now which drawer does he hide that shirt in? 

Swing Tree

If I was a boy at sea
I would be swinging from a broken tree
I would be down on my back looking up at stars at night
and if I could get back to reach to reach the saltiest of evergreens
You know that I would turn back just to fight the whites of iron eyes

When I hear that wind and I think of Spring
Underneath an open window a carved out sign and
often I would fight with my mind

Saltwater brine where you hung your crown
When you washed your eyes in last night's tea
I thought you might come out from the dream to find that

Underneath the pine grew a patch of thyme
that I burned for six days in the sun
'til I heard the distant sound of drums

Oh the queen had come and the King had died
and my forehead burned but I closed my eyes
and my forehead burned but I closed my eyes

Before I go I've got to run, down the street
to the market cove where I could
find six seeds to bring back to the yard
and plant underneath the birch tree
No white skies or red sunlight
In the saltwater brine
My forehead burned but I closed my eyes

Whoa. Now you've got to go.

If I was a boy...

La-di-da La-di-da
