Sequins and Faux Fur

For those looking for a fabulous lifestyle...

29 July 2010

Finally, two new seasons will hit the airwaves tonight.  GTL and PR are back people.  So now I can actually watch the shows I really like, instead of having to watch repeats of Law and Order (which I still love... but once I get half way through an episode, I remember that I have seen it before and then automatically know the ending).  So...without further ado... the two shows I will be watching at 9 and 10 tonight are:

Project Runway.  Make it work.  Can't wait to see Heidi and Tim pick a new fashion designer in one of the best cities in the world. 

And then, a guilty pleasure - Jersey Shore.  While I don't endorse some of their crazy behaviors, I am still in awe week after week that Snooki is a real person.  Thanks goodness I was born in the south.

Peace, Love, and Dancing - GAGA

Now, it is time for the promised guest blog... Lady Gaga coverage from Miss Alicia Dean.  I am so jeal that she was able to experience Gaga in person.  This post def makes me want to go to an upcoming show... she is coming to Atlanta in April, who wants to come with?

"Hello MMR Viewers!  I'm back again to report my exciting travels of the lifestyles of the not so rich and famous.  I am fortunate enough to be able to tell you about my one-time-only experience at the Monster Ball.  Yes, I attended Lady Gaga's out of this world show a couple of weeks ago.

Back in April when tickets first went on sale, the closest place she was performing near me was St. Louis.  My thought process was, "Well, St. Louis is fun, only about 4 hours away, and who knows if I will ever get this opportunity again...so why not?"  So I convinced four of my friends to come and we have more fun than ever expected.  

I was a little shocked to find tons of protesters outside of the area hours before her show began.  Gaga even tweeted her thoughts, and though that was an interesting start to the evening, she wasn't going to let anyone bring her down.  The fabulous Gaga opened with "Just Dance", which was a perfect way to get the crowd going.  I don't think I stopped dancing the entire concert.  And as her reputation follows her, she had multiple costume changes that were more than impressive.  My favorite costume was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.  It looked like the ice queen meets Gaga in her own, quirky way.  At one point, before she sang "Telephone", she sat down on a barstool in the middle of the stage and started talking about her fans and how she needed to connect with them... then you hear a phone dialing...she had called an audience member's cell phone and talked to her while on stage!  Obvi, this was planned out because there was a microphone connected to the girl in the audience, but still a very cool and unique way to open the appropriate song.  She of course brought out all of her favorites, including "Speechless", "Monster", and "Teeth" and performed "Bad Romance" as her encore.

My friend Rebekah and I wore the same dress, covered in multi-colored sequins, which we felt was completely appropriate for the Monster Ball.  I can only imagine where I will be allowed to wear this dress again.  I will say that atmosphere of the show was something I've never experienced before.  No one was judging you and everyone was on the same page; everyone just wanted to have a good time and dance like no one was watching.

That is what Lady Gag brings to the world: Peace, Love and Dancing."

Wow!  Thanks Miss Dean, what a show.  And I will make a note that I own the same sequined dress, and I think you can rock that thing whenever you want... just think, Gaga would.

Just bought this gorgeous Tibi dress... as you can see, one of my favorite labels.  Wish I could afford the entire line.  Found on saks.com.

Loving this dress from Tibi, found on shopbop.com



Help!  I need someone to help me design a look that is "unique" to my blog... so I don't have to keep using the google templates... any ideas anyone?  I am still playing around with my looks.  Make comments on what you like and what you don't like.

I also think that I am going to post smaller blogs, more frequently - what do you think?  I am copying a few blogs that I frequently visit on the world wide web - because I love their format.

And a preview of what is to come... Miss Alicia Dean, guest blogger on Vegas is in the works writing a great piece about her experience at a Lady Gaga concert.  Hold your breath in anticipation, this will be a good one.

And, please notice the bottom of each post - you can now gmail, blog, tweet, facebook my posts.  So, now everyone can hear about how fab you are for reading this fab blog!

An Italian Villa and a Twinkie Cake



Brangelina just made a little purchase of an Italian villa... and by little I mean a $40 million house that includes 7 bathrooms, a home cinema and a private gym.  Oh the life... I just dream of the day when they will invite me to come and have drinks by the pool while Shiloh and Maddox run around and have a cannon ball contest.  They.are.so.fab.

I am so over the fact that Lindsay Lohan is in jail.  Duh, we know already.  But I am so in love with the fact that you can send her a care package filled with delectable goodies such as KitKats, Ramen Noodles and the necessary phone card... too bad she can't tweet while she is in that cell.  To see if this was a true posting, I proceeded on to the website where you can send these pacakages, and let me tell you, it is legit.  I don't have the pricing though, because you have to sign up for a free account, and I just did not want my e-mail on the Inmate Package Program's Listserve.



After my last post about my new sunless tanner find, a great friend named Lauren, who also has Cullen-esque fair skin like myself, sent me an e-mail about an even better product.  Neutrogena Microclear 3 shades Darker tanning mist (not 2 shades, must get 3!) - after one spray, it looks like you have been to Mexico for a week.  This is a shoutout to Miss Busby for the great tip!


And to end the week on a fun note - what if I had this cake made entirely out of Twinkies at my wedding?  OMG - Loving the use of a great snack, but not loving the fact that I would probably be considered the "twinkie" cake girl the rest of my life, and that would just be terrible.

Goodbye to The Hills and Something the Cullen's Won't Like

Last night an era ended.  The last episode of The Hills aired on MTV. 

Though I will admit I really have not watched this scripted show since LC left, I did enjoy catching up on all my favorite memories this past weekend with MTV chose to show each and every episode.  I remember when Laguna Beach aired, LC, Lo, Stephen all graduated high school the same year as me, so basically I knew exactly what they were going through and just knew that we would be friends if our paths ever crossed.  So last night I was a little let down as the seemingly boring finale aired.  That was until the last few minutes - and the last shot that you thought was taking place outside actually cut to a studio.  GASP!  It was all fake!  I knew it was scripted, but thought the drama was real.  So my mind got to thinking, are Heidi and LC friends?  Does Lo like being in Kristin's presence?  So many unanswered questions!  I am going to have to journey to The Hills, find Audrina, and get the scoop.  Once this happens I will immediatley report it to you my little monsters.

If you missed the last few minutes - check it out on Perez Hilton.



As my loyal followers know, I am of the pale skin race.  So, when I heard about spray tans back in high school, I thought these were the next best thing since Diet Coke.  I started getting them a few times in high school, just to give me a natural glow and a little color.  One day when I am super rich and still fabulous, I am going to hire someone to come to my house once a week and spray me.  Since I am just fabulous now, I have to find creative ways to get my tan on during the summer.  I just discovered Jergen's Natural Glow Moisturizing Foam.  (No, not the lotion, I was never a fan and believe me I have tried almost every sunless tanning product on the market, from Sephora to Lindsay Lohan's spray.)  The foam is so easy to use, has a light scent and dries so fast.  I put some on this morning and am enjoying a nice glow.  So, run, don't walk, to the nearest Target and pick some up.  Though I will have to say, the Cullen's won't like that I am using this product.  But let's face the truth: Even when I use the foam or get spray tanned, I am still paler than about 97% of the US population.

Around the World in 90 Days

My little monsters... I am channeling my inner Lady Gaga today after her Today Show performance.  Can't get her new song out of my head.  Now back to the beginning, My little monsters... I have been out and about and have not been able to write.  But I do love all of my followers and promise to be better about updating.

You wonder - what have I been up to?  Everything fabulous of course...

1. Went to Forks to visit the hometown of Bella, Edward and Jacob.  If you don't know what I am talking about skip to number 2.  The Eclipse movie has been my favorite so far, and I am still waiting to be asked to join the Cullen clan.  I also have a new obsession with Taylor Lautner... he is 18, right?

2. Being Pink Lady Mollie.  If you must know, I am entering into holy matrimony very soon.  Gifts are apperciated, contact my assistant for a delivery address.  And let me tell you...wedding planning is a blast but also includes a lot of hair pulling.  Somedays I wish we were eloping on a Greek Island, but then everyone knows I love being the center of attention, so how can I turn down a day when it is truly all about me?

3. Getting totally fit with my personal trainer.  Actually that is a little bit of an exaggeration.  Yes, I have a trainer, but no I am not totally fit.  During my analysis, she quickly told me that I have no upper arm strength and that is the main thing to work on.  She came to this conclusion after I could only do 2 real push-ups.  It was so great to learn after my first session that I had to pay someone to really work me out. (that should be in sarcasm font)  Guess that my 25 minutes on the elliptical is not a true cardio blaster.

4. Stalking Justin Bieber.  I.can't.get.enough.  LOVE this video.



I am also working on a new layout to the blog, so let me know what you like and what you don't.  I also am working on a new angle... of course  I love telling everyone about my fab life and celeb obsessions, but I may add some new things to the blog recipe.
