The Kentucky Derby: It’s All About the Crazy Ass Hats

So not only does this weekend mark Mother’s Day (you’re welcome for the reminder – now go order yo mama some flowers!), but it’s also the Kentucky Derby. Not gonna lie, a very deep part of my soul wants to experience the Kentucky Derby in all its bluegrass, Mint Julep, and sweet horse sweat glory.

And, of course, I really want to wear a big ass hat.

I have this theory about Derby hats.  I mean, have you ever had a mint julep?  It’s like the old man’s version of a Long Island.  With that kind of sauce slipping down through your veins, you pretty much have to find a giant hat to cover your booze blush and wiggly buzzed eyes. And with that in mind, how many cocktails do you think these ridonkulous peeps tossed back? (On second thought, they might have had a few Juleps before they made the purchase….)

The Derby Hat: Kentucky’s Greatest Contribution to Society (Aside From Johnny Depp)

derbyhats3.jpgA few weeks ago I was on the treadmill at the gym watching the preliminary festivities for the Kentucky Derby, when I realized what my life is missing.

Giant. Ornate. Hats.

For realzies; Derby-style hats are the sh*t, for multiple reasons. For one, like all hats, they immediately cover a bad hair day. But, Derby hats are so huge and ostentatious, they can also distract from a host of other problems, such as a bad face day (don’t lie to yourself, you know you’ve had one).

That said, in addition to helping to conceal appearance issues, Derby hats are also good for drawing attention in a crowd, because, let’s face it, how often are people wearing hats with two foot brims covered in netting and ribbons and feathers and roses? They’re perfect for meeting friends in a crowded area or helping a blind date pick you out at a bar.

Also, Derby hats = insta-glamour. Whether paired with a frothy tulle ball gown or jeans and a tank top, Derby hats make a lady instantly look fabulously feminine and alluring. Don’t believe me? Watch an Audrey Hepburn movie and then try to tell me megahats aren’t the sh*t. Read More »

Why We Love the Month of May

kentuckyderbyYay for May!

The April showers are (or should be) over, and it’s time for summer kick in. I can’t WAIT to be done with my exams (only one more… and 10 Red Bulls to go) and on the plane ride home.

The month of May is chock full of great things, and I am more than excited to get this party going. While we’re all winding down and getting ready to finish up the school year, don’t forget to enjoy all the fun things to do and celebrate this month:

1) It’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! (Yeah, I know, try saying that 10 times fast.) As an ABC (American-Born-Chinese), this celebration is near and dear to my heart. Even if you’re not Asian, you can still join us in celebrating this awesome holiday by making some scrumptious Chinese food, and I don’t mean the kind by General Tso. Laugh it up with my fellow Asian Russell Peters, probably the funniest guy alive, and watch this PSA too, brought to you by Dat Phan, another hilarious Asian comedian and stereotypical crazy cab driver.

2) At only 50 calories a cup, who doesn’t love those lovely red heart-shaped fruits we call strawberries? It’s National Strawberry Month, believe it or not (yes, even fruits get to have parties in their honor). It’s also National Salad Month! Throw a garden party and combine the two to make this Chinois Strawberry and Goat Cheese Salad, or this Arugula and Strawberry Salad. Speaking of strawberries, has anyone ever heard of strawberry meth? Sounds….tasty?
