New Trend Alert!

I'm flattered that you turn to me for the latest fashion advice and the hottest new trends.  Well, my friend, brace yourself for Bagelheads, as blogged about on The Frisky.  It's true!  You, too, could get a saline drip directed to your noggin that creates a large, moldable, dyeable swelling on your forehead.  Men, this is how you get the ladies.  Especially ladies like me that love bagels and other doughy, carbohydratey, cream cheese slathered treats.  Sadly, like real bagels, they only last for one day, but they are perfect for special events like debutante balls, weddings, and bachelor parties.  Enjoy!

The Curious Case of the Ass-less Pants Pig

We took my mother to a lovely French restaurant called Rive Gauche for her birthday this weekend. However, I was a disturbed by the greeter, a suspicious looking pig who was wearing a server's outfit and holding a chalkboard. 

When viewed from behind, we were startled by the ass-less pants the pig was sporting.  I'm awkward. 

A bit inappropriate, no?

A Preview of My Future?

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Considering my recent rediscovery of the fascination of Alice in Wonderland, I was ecstatic when I heard that Time Burton was recreating the classic as a sequel to the original Disney version, according to ComingSoon.net.  It stars Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen of Hearts (below), and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen.  I'm almost as excited as I was when I went to the Cupcake Convention earlier this year.  How will I ever wait until next March!?

RIP King of Pop

We have lost a major pop icon of our generation.  Michael Jackson died this afternoon at the UCLA Medical Center from cardiac arrest, just prior to embarking on a 50 city "comeback" tour.  He was 50 years old.

Hawaii Update

Suzy and I just wanted to say hi from the gorgeous beach! We are having a great time so far.
My boyfriend hunt is not progressing as I had hoped, but not to worry because Suzy has promised to be my wing woman. But who needs a man when we have parasailing, snorkeling, and a hike through a rain forest to look forward to?!

Wish you were here!

Greetings from hawaii!!

Hello friends. I'm sure most of you have noticed a new void in your life - a lack of blog updates from yours truly. But not to worry!! I am thoroughly enjoying my unemployment in Maui. We just got into our room at the lovely Westin Resort and were promptly kissed by a heavily moustached fellow and seranaded by 4 college freshman. Jealous?

Well we are off to the beach to drink to mai tais and piña coladas. I will keep you posted on our Hawaiian adventures!

Xoxo

This is what happens when you belive in God.

And this. My new life's mission is to find and date this guy.

I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so...scared

I know some of you may be wondering, "Stacie, why were you watching the Jimmy Fallon show? Isn't Jimmy Fallon that idiot that would always laugh at his own jokes on weekend update?" Well my friends, sweet ass Zack Morris was on and I couldn't resist! Again some of you may say, "Why he was just a character on the 90s shows Good Morning Miss Bliss, Saved by the Bell and Saved by the Bell: The College Years...his real name is Mark-Paul Gosselaar, duh." If you really belive that, perhaps you should just watch the clip...

I will give $20, one (1) authentic Marc Jacobs coat, and my eternal gratitude...

To whomever can get me tickets and airfare to this: http://www.monolithfestival.com/


Straight cash.


Plus something similar to this, except probably even a little bit cuter. Missing one button.


This seemed like the best choice from the 'eternal gratitude' google image search.

Yes, all of the above can be yours. Concert tickets and plane tickets are all I'm looking for in exchange. You may even accompany me if you wish.

National Donut Day Itinerary

In celebration of NDD, I have requested my last day of work off. In lieu of Data Entry, Matt and I will be partaking in Donut Entry (entry into my belly, that is) by touring some of the finest donut establishments in Los Angeles. So much for losing weight prior to Hawaii! More important things have come up.

On our list of places to go in order of importance (highest to lowest): Randy's Donuts, Fritelli Doughnuts and Coffee, Stan's Donuts, and Krispy Kreme. I hope four locations is enough to satisfy our donut cravings.

Thank you for taking all of our needs into consideration.

NATIONAL DONUT DAY

I am not making this up, folks. There is a day where the entire nation is intended to celebrate this doughy ring of goodness. And it actually has a legitimate history too, originating as a way to raise money for the Salvation Army in1938. It is this Friday, June 5th, and many donut shops are expected to be giving out free donuts in exchange for a donation to the Salvation Army. Holler.

A Farewell Letter

Dear My Job,

I am leaving you on Friday. After a 6 month run, I have grown bored with you. I was never interested in pursuing a long term commitment with you, after all. Your monotony and inability to stimulate me leave much to be desired, and I'm pretty sure you gave me CTS. How could somebody like me possibly stay with someone like you? You expect me to drive 33 miles every day for you, and what do you give me in return? A weak paycheck and an occasional donut in the morning. You want the same thing from me every day, and out of boredom I've been forced to sneak around behind your back, goofing off with the Internet when I'm supposed to be focusing on you.

I did learn some things while I was with you. I learned the most effective way to stave off boredom. I learned that maintaining a blog is both fun and easy. I learned the best and worst dining establishments in the LAX area. Most importantly, I learned that the majority of the people in this world suffer from laziness and incompetence, which actually made me feel pretty good about myself.

But that's just not enough for me.

So goodbye, My Job. I know this will be harder for you than it is for me, seeing as I am off to Hawaii to try my best to forget my time with you, while you are stuck in a rut here in Westchester.

I'll wish you good luck just to be polite, but don't expect me to ever come back to you.


No longer yours,

Roxy

I Sure Hope You Like Squirt.

Not a fan of Squirt? You know, that citrusy, caffeine free (booooooo) soda that was first made in 1938 by Herb Bishop? (Thanks, Wikipedia!) Well you better be, because guess what - my future husband Greg Gillis is back in town to perform a free show!

Did I say free? Sorry, I meant to say that in exchange for 36 empty cans of Squirt, you can score a ticket to see Girl Talk at the Grove of Anaheim. That, my friend, is a lot of citrusy soda to drink in 18 days. Worth it? Yes. Will I be there, rushing the stage again for a chance to proclaim my undying love of him? No. Sadly, Hawaii calls louder than the deafening bass that will be pulsating from those giant speakers. So when you go, please send my love and regards to my boo.
