Caution: This Picture Is So Cute You Might Throw Up

Jess - NYU — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:41:11 +0000

A big thanks to Buzzfeed for this picture. Upon first viewing, I literally melted into a puddle on my chair. Suddenly, everything is all right with the world.

America’s Got Talent: 9-Year-Old Boy Continues Quest For World Domination/Reality Show Fame

CC Staff — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:30:52 +0000

David Militello is adorable…so adorable that the earth may implode under the weight of his toothy grin and little kid high-notes. Little David auditioned for America’s Got Talent awhile back and made it through to Las Vegas, the AGT equivalent of Hollywood Week.

Before he left, The Hoff made this prediction/menacing threat:

“He is going to steal the hearts of every American watching the show.”

That prophecy came to fruition during last night’s two-hour Vegas episode. The judges whittled the 113 acts down to 60, and on Thursday they’ll cut 20 more before the pool of contestants is set for the live episodes.

David upped his game and with two minor additions that made it impossible for the judges to send him packing; a little tuxedo, and an alliance with the youngest contestant in the competition, Kaitlyn Maher. Separate they are just two cute little kids, but put them together (holding hands no less!) and the viewing public is powerless. The two little ones beat out individuals three times their age (in their own age bracket no less) and both moved on to the semi-final round. But were we surprised? Voting them off would be like putting Milo & Otis to sleep.

So David is safe for another day. My guess is that his next performance will be a duet with a basket of yellow-lab puppies or newborn babies. Can he be stopped?

Plaid: Love Of My Life

Sara - NYU — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:30:15 +0000

I. Love. Plaid.

I don’t know what it is about that winsome pattern, but I can’t get enough.

I suspect it has something to do with the years I spent looking at fashion magazines with my mother. Every September, from the time I was 11 until I was 17, my mom would come home with a copy of the Seventeen: Back To School issue. And we devoured that sh*t.

And for some reason, every September without fail, that magazine would be busting at the seams with plaid. Plaid dresses, plaid shirts, plaid fricking socks–is plaid in every fall? The answer, my friends, is yes.

I don’t read Seventeen’s Back to School issue anymore (although my mother still does), but plaid don’t fade and neither do my love.

So here, for your viewing pleasure, is the creme of the crop of this season’s fall plaids. Pair with otherwise simple pieces, a smile, and a nostalgia that time will never defeat. Ahhhh. Plaid.

See? Plaid can be totally sexy.

The blue-and-black thing is totally in right now (after years of a ridiculous taboo) and the cut is so flattering. Plus the play on 90s grunge is just plain fun. Mmmm delicious little jacket.

An adorable tee-shirt play on plaid. Love it. Nice and casual and still on trend.

A nice subtle plaid in a wide-leg pant is perfect for work, internship, interview, or wherever else you need to look sophisticated and chic. Plus, gray is SO in this year. Pair these with pumps and a black top and you’re set for fall.

It’s kind of like Barbie requested a high-heeled plaid sneaker and they made it and it was PERFECTION. This cute little plaid shoe is comfortable and cheap. And fricking sweet. What else could you ask in a shoe?

…Unless, of course, you’re looking for a hotass plaid pump.

Oh my god, this shoe is so sexy I might have to change teams (to shoe) for it. DROOL. Hotttt.

Hot umbrella for cool autumn showers. Fuchia and black plaid are unflappable. I mean, look, you need an umbrella. Why not get a cute one?

This drapey dress can go cocktail party or it can go third date. Either way, it’s soft, comfortable, and simultaneously trendy and classic. This is the kind of dress you can wear for years for multiple special occasions. So freaking cute.

Plaid, anyone?

Huggies Gets Me to Love Commercials with Baby Pee Spree

Jess - NYU — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:00:11 +0000

There’s really nothing I need more in my life than an adorable baby. When you combine an adorable baby with a hilarious scenario, you get an equation that looks something like this: Me + This Huggies Commercial = Constant Happiness.

[Note, this video is extra funny if you've ever experienced a baby pee spree yourself]



Introducing Your Newest Crush(es) of 2008
ccandyjessne — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:30:04 +0000

Yes, we all know the supposed heart-throbs of our generation: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, blah blah blah blah. But aren’t there girls out there who yearn for a pair of boys with adorable accents, mad guitar skills, and who are also downright hilarious? If you answered no to that question, you need a wake up call, and here it is.
These two rather adorable boys are called Flight of the Conchords, and last Sunday they won a Grammy for best comedy album for their debut effort, The Distant Future.
They are, in their own words, “New Zealand’s 4th most popular folk/comedy duo“, and their songs are wonderfully quirky and insanely funny. In addition, they star in probably what is the most original show on television, called, you guessed it: Flight of the Conchords.
They star as slightly fictionalized versions of themselves, a folk duo from New Zealand trying to make it big in New York City. What makes this show unique, however, is the duo’s tendency to randomly burst out into song…about completely random topics.
If you need to be further convinced, please take a moment to watch this clip from their HBO show. A little backstory for you-the duo are about to be mugged by some street thugs in New York City, and they decide to be completely intimidating (and adorable) by beginning a rap battle.
The Hiphopopotamus and The Rhymenoceros
So get yourself ready to see a lot more of the Conchords in 2008: their first full-length CD is coming out in April, and their show on HBO got renewed for a second season. To get caught up, check out the first season of their show on DVD. I promise you, you won’t regret it.
(Editor’s note: For an additional burst of hilarity, check out this oldie but goodie FOTC clip, “Most Beautiful Girl in the Room“.  I like the part about “kababs”.  Mostly because their accents allow them to rhyme “cab” with “kabob“)

         


Thursday Cuteness: “Charlie Bit My Finger!”
Jess - NYU — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:00:49 +0000
I have a weakness.  A weakness for adorable English boys and giant babies with big heads.  I also have a weakness for giant babies with big heads biting things.  Like the fingers of adorable English boys.

Leave it to the Japanese to find incredible / adorable video.  This Bruce Lee Baby is the cutest thing I have seen all year. (So what if this year is only 3 days old).


         


Erin Fetherston for Target!
CC Staff — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:53:34 +0000

I don’t know if any of you saw The Hills this week, but if you did manage to catch it, did you notice something unusual?
There was an entire commercial break dedicated to Erin Fetherston’s new line debuting at Target on November 18th! Talk about creating a buzz and “targeting” (sorry, I had to) your demographic!
That said, I may or may not be leaving the city and heading to my parents house in Pennsylvania this weekend. I may or may not be doing so to do a little pre-Black Friday shopping.
This may or may not involve a trip to a (huge) Target store in Delaware in order to land a few pieces from the new line.
Don’t call me pathetic! First of all, it’s smart so don’t hate. Two, if you know anything about New York City you know that Targets do exist (in the Bronx and Queens…no thanks) but like many urban superstores, they are so picked through that there’s no way I’d find anything. Especially in my size.
Why am I making this seemingly useless trip? Well, have you seen the line? It’s absolutely adorable. But not in a little girl way. It’s really just effortless and playful…exactly my style.
And it’s affordable! To top it off, I guess I sort of luck out my having a twin sister. I plan on buying a few things and giving them as “gifts” to her. By the time New Year’s rolls around they’ll magically be in my closet! Sneaky, I know. But whatever, we’re sisters.
There’s a few things Fetherston’s made that I will not leave the store without. For example, there’s a long wool winter coat in cream for $89.99 that I adore. There’s a grey cardigan (with heart buttons!) for $34.99 that is perfect for layering. And the satin skirt (also $34.99) is perfect for the holidays!
To me, making the trek home to score some adorable threads is worth it. And if all else fails, well, hey, I’m in Target! They have everything.
Happy shopping!

         


Lunchtime Links: Brooklyn Sucks

• Authorities in Park Slope say that a little girl who draws on the sidewalk is to be fined for graffiti. Well, good! I needed just one more reason to think that Brooklyn is totally, totally lame. (Brooklyn Press)
• Pirates vs Zombies! Apparently, they couldn’t wait two more weeks. (Pioneer Press)
• Best/worst quote of the week: “[She was] Just holding the baby out of the window and I was like ‘Oh no … no … no.’” (Baynews9.com)
• Kinda like the story above, except reverse! I can’t help but think the little guy is adorable (and a better driver than me!). (Yahoo!)
• Parents who sign their kids up for pole dancing lessons are f*cking idiots…but, like, if you’re 9 years old and dancing on a pole while your other friends are playing T-Ball…wouldn’t you kinda know something isn’t quite right? (COED Magazine)
