So for those of you who are not truly familiar with the King (or Queen) of all handbags. It's definitely Hermes. And to be even specific, it's the Hermes Birkin. These bags START at $3,000 and have a wait list for the average person of around 6 years. Of course, if you're a celebrity, it's easy to get around that. And just to prove my point, take a look at the fabulous Mrs. Victoria Beckham. It's rumored that she has just over 100 Hermes bags. More than half of them are Birkins (FYI, the black ones are all DIFFERENT black bags!!!!)
Damn I'd love to spend a day in this woman's purse closet! You know she must have one!!
So we all know there's another SATC ("Sex and the City" for those of you NOT in the know) coming out. I do plan to see it, however, it's more out of habit than anything else. The fashion has gotten beyond crazy. I mean, yes the women obviously spend alot of money on clothes. But what are the odds that Carey (who was once famously told that she "lives for fashion") would have three friends who spend equal amounts of money on fabulous clothing, even if it is in NYC.
I guess I'm just kind of getting sick of all of the drama. According to the newest trailer, Carrie has been married to Big for two years, and now she's complaining that their marriage is getting stale. So then she runs into Aidan and TADA (as my baby nephew would say) she's itchin to get into bed with the dude. Charlotte on the other hand is pissing and moaning that she can't handle her two little girls. NEWSFLASH! You moaned and groaned that you wanted a baby for YEARS and now that you have two (and no job and tons of money) you're complaining that it's "too much". This is what you wanted sister! So deal with it.
Anyway, it seems Samantha is up to her old tricks, which is getting old. I can't name a single 50 something that acts like that. No matter how much they wish they did. Also, I've never liked Miranda. She's much to negative for my tastes. Ok, I'm off my soapbox. Like I said, I will definitely see the movie. But begrudgingly.
I never really understood why people enjoyed karaoke. That is until I tried it on a recent cruise I was on. I was always too shy to sing in front of a crowd, but then I thought, "what the heck? I'll never see these people again, and most of them are even too drunk to recognize if I see them tomorrow". So I gave it a try, and LOVED IT! My poor husband has had to put up with this new fascination of mine because guess what... there are like a million and one karaoke videos on youtube. So I can do it for free all of the time now!
Here are my favorites, where I actually sound kind of decent:
Jewel - Foolish Games Aretha Franklin - Natural Woman Roxette - It must have been Love Sophie B. Hawkins - Damn, I wish I was your Lover
Here are some songs that I sing for fun, even though they're nearly impossible:
Flo Rida - Low Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be Soulja Boy - Crank Dat 50 Cent - In Da Club (Brian said with this one, I sounded more like 20 cent)
Here are the songs I sing when Brian has to drag me to bed because it's 2am, and I'm on my 6th glass of wine:
Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle Daniel Bedingfeld - If You're not the One Whitney Houston - I will always Love You The Cranberries - Zombie
You should give it a try if you're home bored one night. It's actually pretty entertaining!
Ok, so there really is NO contest in terms of the Deschanel sisters. I don't get why people think Zooey is talented. Emily, on the other hand, actually is a great actress.
Even though Emily's most famous for her starring role on "Bones", I think she's does a great job on that show. I don't know how many of you have actually watched it. I, myself, only have watched it on occasion, but her incredibly smart, yet clueless character really has a lot of wit and is entertaining. She's like a likable "House".
However, her sister... is another story. Have you seen that cotton commercial??
Oh it's painful to listen to her sing! How did she get a chance to perform at Coachella? I mean, they must be willing to book anybody I suppose. Plus, her acting is TERRIBLE! Have you ever seen the movie "The Happening"? Yes, it was an awful movie, yes Mark Whalberg is just as bad of an actor, but she was almost laughable in her role. (And don't even get me started on M. Night Shyamalan.... WTF man?!?) Anyway, I just had to put my two cents out there.
10. BEST Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal Original Artist: Michael Jackson It's almost impossible to remake a Michael Jackson song successfully. I imagine part of the reason why Michael allowed it was because this was when it was beginning to be broke. But I'm so glad he did! This band did an awesome job! Also, the video is HILARIOUS!
9. BEST No Doubt - It's my Life Original Artist: Talk Talk Something about Gwen's sincere voice just seems to fit the lyrics almost better than the original.
8. WORST Emma Bunton - Life in Mono Original Artist: Mono Why?! Emma, you have such a sweet voice... why oh why would you attempt this post modern theme? It just doesn't work.
7. BEST Mariah Carey - I wanna know what love is Original Artist: Foreigner This work was just released by Mariah and I have to admit, I love it just as much as the original. She truly is a musical genius from this generation.
6. WORST Britney Spears - My Prerogative Original Artist: Bobby Brown This song wasn't played on the radio too much, and it's a good thing. I think this was the beginning of Britney's rebellious stage and this song was just a poor choice. No one can sing this song with Bobby's attitude.
5. BEST Mary J. Blige - Natural Woman Original Artist: Aretha Franklin No one can compare to Aretha's original, but Mary comes close. It sounds so effortless, and there are just enough changes at the end of the song to modernize it without changing the tone too much.
4. WORST Celine Dion and Anastacia - You Shook me All night Long Original Artist: AC/DC Again... WHY!?! This video is actually pretty funny to watch. Check out Celine's moves around 0:25sec
3. BEST George Benson - On Broadway Original Artist: The Drifters I could jam to this all every night. I LOVE it... and it's perfect for singing along.
2. WORST Mel B. - Word up Original Artist: Cameo This is just weird.
1. BEST The Cast of Rent with Stevie Wonder - Seasons of Love Original Artist: The Cast of Rent So much better than the original version. Stevie just adds some of the best vocals and harmonizing.
Honorable Mention BEST - Dixie Chicks - Let Him Fly (Original Artist: Patty Griffin), Huey Lewis & Gwyneth Paltrow - Cruisin (Original Artist: Smokey Robinson) Worst - Puff Daddy, Mase, Fatih Evans, etc - I'll be Missing You (Original Artist: The Police) , Kelly Osbourne - Papa Don't Preach (Original Artist: Madonna)
So I sold two bags to Bag, Borrow, or Steal.com. The first was a Burberry Manor tote I paid $450 last summer. They offered me $300 for it. I was like "woohoo!" The second was an old Kate Spade that I paid $200 years ago. They offered me $71. Then I was like "SUCKERS!"

Do you judge someone based on their drink of preference? I definitely don't, but I find alot of people do, which I think is just strange. Why is it considered more sophisticated to like non-sweet drinks? I (personally) LOVE sweet drinks, including:
coffee with 4 splendas Bailey's on the Rocks SWEET white wine pina coladas diet soda
Now I ask, what's so unsophisticated about that? Also, what's wrong with pink drinks (at bars)? I don't like cosmos (not sweet enough) but I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at a girl (or a guy for that matter) drinking a pink drink. Alot of them taste good! And for the record, I've tried drinking beer, black coffee, and red wine. But it's gross!!!
I'm sure you've heard people talking about songs that bring them back to a specific place and time in their life. Last night during pillow talk, Brian and I were discussing songs that bring us back and here's the list I cam up with:
Freak Me - Silk: This isn't really my type of song, however when I was 11 years old and in sixth grade, this song was a hit! The lyrics are somewhat graphic (at least for 1992) and I can remember singing it in the locker room while getting dressed for gym class. All the girls would chime in and we would sing it in harmony... how sweet huh?
Jennifer Paige - Crush: When I was 15, I was really into the show "Sabrina the Teeange Witch". That shouldn't come as a surprise based on my unabashed admiration of the wicca beliefs. Anyway, this song was featured on the show, and I fell in love with it! I would go around singing it all of the time, and I even bought the CD single. In fact, I still have it
Jimmy Ray - Are you Jimmy Ray?: This is the first one that I find kind of embarrassing. My sister probably remembers me walking around the house yelling at the top of my lungs "WHO WANTS TO KNOW... WHO WANTS TO KNOW?!?" In my defense, the song was a hit, so I must not have been the only one who liked it.
