My next job...Cookie Butler
Here in California after the big dot.com bust of 2000 a lot of people quit their jobs, took their earnings and started their own companies. A bunch of them were cupcake baking companies. I know, you're thinking how many cupcake shops can one City need? Well apparently, a lot of them. So, when I heard recently that Mrs. Fields has filed for bankruptcy, I started thinking this might be my moment. You see I just love baking cookies, and I'm good at it. So I thought why not start a business where clients e-mail me throughout the day with their cookie requests. I get to bake to my hearts content and they get to come home to fresh baked cookies. Imagine you're having an awful day, your bus was late, the boss yelled at you, someone ate your lunch. What do you do? E-mail an order for cranberry oatmeal cookies, ginger snaps, snickerdoodles or just good old fashioned chocolate chip. They appear on your doorstep in no time and voila! You're having a better day. It's like the perfect job!
Not afraid to be photoshopped
Have you seen the new US Weekly cover with Jennifer Love Hewitt on it? The headline screams that she's lost 18 lbs! It's like all of her curves have been erased. She's tall and lean, yes and she wants you to know it. I find this so disappointing. I was so proud when she lambasted the paparazzi last year after those hideous bikini pictures surfaced. (Note to self: black boy shorts, never a good call...just saying). She basically said she loved her body, so back off. Then she went and lost 18 lbs. (like she has it to lose?!) and became an Olsen twin. Yuck. Girl, get your bootie back, and work it like you love it. Hollywood may reward you for your stick figure, but the rest of us won't. Where are all of the fun, fierce women who love their bodies?
A new lipstick can change your life
I truly believe this. And no one does it like Chanel. Their ads are sleek and glossy, the lone lipstick silhouetted against a plain background almost ready to be worshipped. Phallic to be sure, but true to form it made me lust for it. My pick for Summer is Portofino. Named after the famed Italian vacation paradise, it's a bright, cheery pink that will give you lips to die for!
Very interesting...
Happy Friday everyone. I woke up this morning to find this gorg Report Kait bootie in my e-mail. Don't you just love it? Piperlime's got it online for just $115. Seems really reasonable to me. Now, when is Fall going to finally be here so we can wear all of these fabulous fashion finds? I'm so ready!
What do you think?
80's prom queen or just plain fabulous? I can't decide. I picked this up over at Saks Fifth Avenues site in their new designers feature. I have to say, I like what I've seen from Richard Chai. That's his work your looking at. What do you think? Love it? Hate it?
Fire engine red
I know you all must be starting to think that I work for Banana Republic or something. I assure you it isn't so. It's just that they are having such a great season. I seem to want to buy something new from them every week. Just yesterday I came across this gorgeous red wool trench which I'm dying to try it on. This ad just screams "sexy stewardess" to me. Okay, maybe I've been watching too much Swingtown, but it's cute, right?
