“The Blow Fish VS The Mean Girl” — ROL 2: THE FINALE!

02.jpgLet’s just get right into this. I’m calling Daisy the Blow Fish/Skank Spice/Stripper with the Plastic Face for the win.

The show starts with the elimination that we saw from the previous episode, with Bret telling Ambre and Daisy to pack it up for Cancun. Bret’s excited because VH1 planned some great stuff at the Me by Melia Cancun.

Once they arrive and get setteld, the three go to dinner. Bret has questions for the ladies – but Daisy pulls out a list of questions of her own and Ambre and I are suprised at her reading and writing abilities. Blow Fish asks Bret about how he’s always referring to their physical attraction and Bret says that it’s because Daisy is still a “mystery” to him. There’s no mystery in Hep C, Bret.

Ambre tells Daisy that she leads with her sexuality and I don’t think that Daisy understands what that means.

Bret moves on to tell Ambre that her “win at all costs” attitude throws him off – and then she throws me off by kissing Bret. Was that to shut him up? Is Ambre all about her TV hosting career?

Anyway, Ambre and her two-toned hair have a date the next day, Daisy the day after.

So the next day as Ambre’s about to go on her Bret date, Daisy tells Ambre that it hurt her feelings when Ambre said that she leads with her sexuality. “I’m not afraid to be sexy.” It turns into Daisy telling Ambre that Ambre’s feeling inadequate and then Daisy tries to imitate Ambre’s walk. Ambre walks like a hunchback? Oh, Daisy, Ambre and the rest of the female population wish that they could be like you. Read More »


Give Back: Volunteer Vacations

volunteerIt’s never too early to start thinking abut Spring Break.

In fact, you might want to start now, considering you’ll probably need to save up some cash, get a group of pals together, and figure out which sunny, tropical, alcohol drenched resort you want to take over for a week or so.

But, if I’m not mistaken (and I don’t think I am), there’s quite a few of us out there that don’t necessarily consider Cancun to be the epitome of all things “vacation”. So, imagine how interested I was when I read about what so many college students are taking part in come March.

Volunteer vacations!

Perhaps you’re thinking “working” while you’re (finally) away from campus defeats the purpose a bit. Well, it’s simply not true. However, it’s really important to fully research your ultimate destination before you head out.

According to Xola Consulting’s Christina Heyniger, who’s studied voluntourism for the past two years, “well-meaning tour operators or NGOs have initiated poorly designed and researched programs that ultimately do a disservice to the communities they seek to support.

So, you’re interested and you want to go somewhere organized…and somewhere you’ll actually help? Read More »
