Unless you’re a terribly unfortunate soul, I suspect at some point in the next three months you’ll find yourself enjoying the great outdoors, perhaps lounging on the beach in your new bikini, hitting a few balls at the driving range, or having a romantic picnic with your summer boy-toy.

Unlike far sweeter countries like Germany we can’t drink outdoors here, which is a crying shame if you ask me. While I wish I could spend my summer drinking beers on the subway in Berlin (only the best way to pre-game ever), I’m stuck in the USA, for better or worse, until I can raise some much needed capital to get me out of here and canoodling with manly Deutsch men and their oh so alluring accents.

So in the meantime, I thought I’d share a few good ways to still get buzzed while working on your tan. No brown bags either—looking like a hobo has never been in style, unless you count the grungy 90s I suppose… Read More »

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!

Okay, I have to get this out…I have a large bone to pick with the Miss USA contest. While doing my regular perusing of the people.com website, I came across the article about the new Miss USA being crowned. Congratulations to her, hopefully she will have a less rocky reign than media darling, Tara Connor.

Now, when the reports first came out about Connor’s partying controversy, I was sympathetic with her. I mean, you can’t stick a country girl from Kentucky with all the freedom in the world, plus a sick apartment in Trump Tower, and expect her not to dabble in the nightlife.

But, one quote on the people website rubbed me the wrong way. Connor sums up her year saying, “The reign of Tara was miraculous. Literally, because I got sober during it, and that’s the most important thing.”

So, basically, all the time and money spent on her was for personal rehab time? Her year in total consisted of half ridiculous partying and half rehab.

Last I checked, Miss USA was supposed to be traveling the world promoting her cause and inspiring young women. What happened to that part? Hopefully the next Miss USA will do a better job of laying off the booze and focusing more on her actual job…
