Howdy, partner. What’s that cha got there on yer holster? Is that…tequila?

Yes! Yes it is.

Thanks to Yumsugar, I found my new best party pal. The Booze Belt. It’s a belt that holds two bottles of liquor and six shot glasses (glasses, not liquor, included).

With this accessory strapped to your waist, you’ll be the hit of the party – not to mention, the most in-demand bartender of the night.

It’s 90 bucks, but if you wanna make your money back, just throw on a cowboy hat, a pair of boots, give yourself a cowgirl name and charge people $2 each for one of Booze Belt Bessie’s straight-up shots.

Quite a ridiculous, yet hilarious invention that only a college student could pull off…and on!

Life is dangerous. There are hidden calories lurking around every corner.

Okay, I’m only getting so worked up about calorie counting because I’m on the Body by Glamour Plan, which has promised to help me tone up and slim down in time for swimsuit season. I heart Glamour. It’s like Cosmopolitan, only it doesn’t suck. Fancy that.

Anyway, the folks at Glamour recommend about 1,500 calories a day, so I’m keeping a food log to track just what goes in my mouth. It’s genius really. The log of pain single-handedly prevented me from inhaling a handful of Chips Ahoy earlier today.

But to get to the point…Today I was perusing the online menu for Au Bon Pain to decide what I wanted to get for lunch today and I discovered something shocking, something which filled me with fear and loathing….in my dorm.

Those seemingly healthy sandwiches, the really good ones with all the fresh looking ingredients, a plethora of cheese choices, and that delicious crusty bread….they are like death. Well, I don’t know about death, but if you’re looking to spend about…400-500 calories on your lunch, most of these sandwiches are out of your price range, plus they are filled with fat! Read More »

Guster: “Satellite”

From the album Ganging Up on the Sun. Buy it here.

It makes perfect sense that the Sexiest Body in the World wants to be the next big singer.

Actress turned wannabe vocalist, Scarlett Johansson, has been recording her own album, “Scarlett Sings Tom Waits” for the past year with Rhino Records.

The thing is, she’s actually pretty good! MUCH better than most of the other actresses-turned-singers we’ve seen in recent years. Although I must admit, I am one of the only people who liked Jennifer Love Hewitt circa “How Do I Deal?“

Nonetheless, Scarlett’s deep, rhaspy speaking voice works really well for her vocal stylings, and she already has the image to back it up.

Catch a snippet of her singing “Summertime” here, and check out her opening SNL last week making fun of Sanjaya, played by the hilarious Andy Sandberg here. She’s joking around, of course, but you can still hear her pipes.

This weekend, Scarlett made an appearance at Coachella, singing back up for Jim Reid of the band The Jesus and Mary Chain. Read More »

If you haven’t noticed, I was completely obsessed with the Chanel Spring Ready-To-Wear collection. I couldn’t get enough of it. The cream of the crop had to be these infamous sequined “boyshorts”, if that’s the correct term, as you can oogle above. I want them so badly…. Very pin-up 60s glamour, plus who isn’t a complete whore for anything that sparkles these days.

It’s a bold move to rock boyshorts in public let alone sequined ones. I decided to go for the romper look instead. I know it’s a longshot. I mean, how do you get from shiny booty-shorts to rompers, but I feel they are a good settling point. Plus it’s not even summer and I’m already tired of shorts. Read More »

Dirty Dancing

It’s true. I hate it.

I’ve hated that stupid film since the first time I saw it on a TV, stuck in my weird babysitter’s mother’s house for a reason I can’t remember now, sitting in a living room that smelled like old couch and cigarettes, desperately trying to find something to whittle away the time. At first, I thought I had hit the jackpot. It looked totally indecent, something my mom would have never let me watch, and there was a cool soundtrack (I was 10 years old…what did I know about music?). Thirty minutes into the thing, however, my young brain knew I was watching something absolutely sucktastic. Even then, I could tell the dialogue was phony and forced. Even then, I could tell Jennifer Grey would never make another movie because she was totally annoying. And even then, even as a child, I knew Patrick Swayze was weird looking.

As I’ve grown older, my hatred for this movie has only increased, and every time another cool person declares their love for it, I feel a tiny pang of anger in the pit of my stomach and force them to list the reasons why. Strangely enough, most people can’t define why they like it so much. I think it has something to do with that lake scene; wet nipples, romantic music, ‘try try again’ mentality…a little something for everyone. Other than that, I have no idea why this movie ever made it anywhere.

The Matrix

Please. I fell asleep after the first ten minutes and woke up just in time to see people wearing sunglasses and barking half-worn Bible verses at each other. Snorefest. My brother and his friends tell me I’m just too stupid to understand it. Maybe. Or maybe they’re the stupid ones for unwittingly sitting through high octane Sunday School.

Any Monty Python Film

I have sat in a roomful of people watching one of these and been the only one not laughing. I just don’t get it. I couldn’t find it funny if I tried. Maybe if I played Risk and had an online boyfriend, I’d find it more hilarious. Read More »

According to CNN.com, Richard Gere was issued an arrest warrant by a judge in the northwestern city of Jaipur, India last week because of a kiss (on the cheek!!) that was allegedly “highly sexually erotic”.

Trying to drum up support at a charitable event hosted by Heroes Project, a charity Gere developed to help fight AIDS in India, the aging actor attempted to do a swoop kiss with famed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. The harmless gesture didn’t seem so harmless to certain conservative Hindu groups, who demonstrated against the public display of affection (something that’s still considered taboo by many in the country) so strongly that a judge called for action. If convicted, both Gere and Shetty could face “three months in prison, a fine, or both”.

Gere’s camp, as well as a few spokespeople in India, claim the judicial gesture is preposterous and was only issued to gain publicity.

While my American brain agrees that certain people in that country need to simmer down, I’m even more outraged that Shetty is being dragged through the same mud as Gere. The courts claim that because she didn’t “resist” the gesture, she’s just as much to blame as the American Gigilo, a declaration I call patriarchal bullshit.

What do you think, lovelies? Should Shetty be called out? Is this just another case of patriarchal stupidity?

Just because Paris didn’t die in her criminally underpublicized drunk driving incident doesn’t mean that the world can’t dream. Yep, the wonderful, genius artists over at Capla Kesting Fine Art are using it as fodder for a Public Service Announcement encouraging teenagers to not drink and drive.

Indeed, they’ve killed Paris Hilton and you can play with her corpse! Woohoo!

The nude Hilton cadaver (with removable organs and innards!) wears her tiara, grips her cell phone and even comes with her most famous canine castoff Tinkerbell. Her body is laid out on a coroner’s table, twisted with an opened abdominal cavity.

“The Paris Hilton Autopsy” is part of the Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth. The ‘unglamorous’ display which includes support materials from anti-drunk driving organizations counters “the disturbingly glamorized trend of Hollywood’s ‘girls gone wild’,” according to gallery director, David Kesting.”

Need a little entertainment while waiting for class to start? Well, Redken has partnered up with Vogue magazine to create weekly podcasts featuring the top Spring 2007 hair trends straight off the runway.

Each week a new podcast will go live on redken.com featuring one new hair style. The podcasts include quotes from the infamous Vogue Beauty Director Sarah Brown, backstage segments with Redken’s creative consultant, Guido Palau, and in-salon segments with steps to create the looks you see with Redken artist and salon owner, Rodney Cutler. Log on now to take a look at the first hair trend – “Bejewled.”

So now I have another reason to put off studying for finals …

I don’t know what it is these days with celebrities flashing their naughty parts. It’s definitely become a trend, being as acceptable as it is, and it’s not attractive at all.

I know I may sound old fashioned, but for the love of God, pick your straps back up and put on some underwear. The only people you’re actually impressing are creepy guys who sit in their rooms playing with themselves while they stare at your crotch as you “unknowlingly” reveal your flower when getting out of your Beemer. HAHA – flower!

Let’s use Britney as an example. Britney has recently been caught bearing her nips, and she’s also trying to bring her sexy back. I say she starts a new, nipple-free trend, but one that is still fashionable, yet controversial and revealing. Read More »
