Random Thoughts...

Kim Kardashian is engaged and I am already sick of hearing about it. Seriously, how many articles can People mag do about them? This family is disgusting.... Yes, she got a $2 million ring. Are you surprised? E! is probably paying for it so they can film it... I am just so grossed out about it.

Rocco

Last night while watching Bravo,  I saw a snippet of the preview for the new Rocco Dispirito show and I am kind of excited. I think he is adorable and have liked him since he did that first show, I think it was called 'The Restaurant'. He came off as a complete DB on the first show, but it didn't take away from his hotness.
I think this will be an entertaining concept and interesting to watch... Thoughts? 

About the show:
Join celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito Wednesday, June 15 at 11pm ET/PT for a taste of his exclusive New York City parties on “Rocco’s Dinner Party.” This self-contained competition series gives three highly skilled chefs a shot at crafting the perfect evening for DiSpirito and his handpicked celebrity guests including Liza Minnelli, Padma Lakshmi, Raven Symone, Sandra Bernhard, and Bryan Batt, to name a few. Each week, three new chefs have one shot at impressing DiSpirito by cooking their signature dish. The two strongest will advance to the next round, where they are challenged to develop a full menu in competing dinner parties. Yet food is only half the battle. Allowed one consultation with Jes Gordan, celebrity event producer, the chefs must also design a unique party concept, as décor and ambiance will be judged alongside their food. Each episode will have a theme for which the chefs must base their meal and dining experience around. Which party will be a scrumptious soiree and which a flavorless fiasco? DiSpirito will decide. On June 22, the series will move to Wednesdays at 10 pm ET/PT for the remainder of the season.

Ick

I am so seriously in ick with someone right now and I am trying to not let it get to me. They are just beyond annoying and it isn't cute. I am trying to determine if I am pmsy, but I think a lot of frustration is building. I need to get away on a little tropical vacation with nothing but mags and pool/beach time. Doing nothing. With just me (ok maybe some friends too), but I almost just want to go away alone and do what I want to do and think what I want to think. Pool time and room service. Has anyone ever done that before? Would that make me to much of a recluse?

Today is rainy & cold. Summer is taking its sweet time to get here...
Last night I went to the Sox game which was rained out. Lucky for us, we had a box w/ food and drinks, so we were able to at least enjoy an hour of it shoving all the food and drinks your body could handle in a short period of time. It was like being 6 again and sent to the state fair with a $50 and no parental discretion.
I need to get some new Sox watching & beer drinking duds for this season. I had boat load of Trot Nixon shirts, but since he has been gone gone gone, for awhile, I have retired those to bed only.

I started it off with these Navy Chuck Taylors. This is a baseball going wearing staple. You can't really wear flips to the game until it is July and even then it is a bad idea... Drunk people and bare toes = bad idea in my opinion.


 

Victoria's Secret has some really cute MLB apparel, but I am not a big fan of having the word pink scrawled out around my back side. I will save that for the JR High girls.

Comfy sweats for home wearing (and weather appropriate now, unfortunately)

Lucky Undies?
Super cute tee's, but again with the "Pink"... Wonder if you can peel it off?

I read somewhere recently that Adele's ex-boyfriend was suing her (or going to) because he was the inspiration (read: bad ex, gives you a lot to talk about, ask Taylor Swift) for her album "19".
It made me recall something funny/odd (to me) from many years ago, I was about 19ish. I was dating this senior guy from MIT while I was a freshman at Fisher. We were together for about six months at the time, so after his graduation we decided to move up to his home state of NH, so that we could both work for the summer and save money. Well, one thing lead to another and after our second summer up there we broke up because I met another a guy who was a guest at the hotel I was working at. 
It was love at first sight. He spent the weekend up there with his friends for bike weekend and then after a few weeks he came up again and I moved back to Massachusetts with him. That fast (I ended up being with him for years). It was so crazy, but fun. It obviously was very hurtful to the other guy, but things were quite volatile with us anyway and we were so young --it wasn't going anywhere.
Anyway, after a few weeks of the ex calling me and saying how horrible I was, he gave up and let his mother take over. Yes, his mother. In fact, his mother called the new man's mother (guy was 27ish) and demanded that the ex be refunded for every date, trip, dinner, coffee, Rite-Aid visit - you name it - because the relationship didn't work out and that new guy owed it to old guy. He wanted to be refunded for the bad relationship.Can you imagine asking to be reimbursed? I could see if I lived with him and didn't pay a bill or took a loan, but neither of those things were issues.

People Who are Cooler Than Me....

I always love to look at certain columns in Vogue or Shopbop or any other kind of fashion site about people who get followed around and have ridiculously cool style. I wish I could pull this off on a day to day to basis, but unfortunately I don't have the balls to be this fashion forward or have the money to wear Celine, Chanel, Prada and Miu Miu each day... Here are some of my favorites.

Actually, featured today in Vogue:




Totally obsessed with this lady's style.





Is this the same Emily from The City?

In My Head Today...

Tim he was a good friend


Yea was a brother of mine

We were imaginary comic book superheroes

Kids wasting time

We were prisoners of our youth

We were growing up strong

’til the day he was taken away

For something he did wrong



Tim came ’round just the other day

And boy he had some stories to tell

His mama kept him locked up in a rehab

Although the doctors said he was well

He said yeah I been through the anger

And the hatred towards my mom

And I put all that behind me

Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom



He said thank you mom for fixing

My clouded broken mind

But excuse me if I seem a little rude

While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude



Well growing up these days just ain’t easy

And the kids they’re doing the best that they can

So mama you better think twice

Before you lock your kid up and throw away the key

’cause soon your little boy is gonna be a man



He said thank you mom for fixing

My clouded broken mind

But excuse me if I seem a little rude

While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude



Tim left town yesterday

He left me with these words

He said yeah I know this life’s got a lot to give

But my childhood is gone

And I’m not afraid of dying

I’m gonna grab the world by the horns and learn how to live



He said thank you mom for fixing

My clouded broken mind

But excuse me if I seem a little rude

While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude

Prep World

I am not a real fan of Tommy Hilfiger (although, I used to love that show on MTV with his daughter Ali), but like any other New Englander, I haven't met a penny loafer or boat shoe I didn't like.

                                    Tommy has a new PrepWorld line and here are some of my favs...

MET -- My favorites...

I always love seeing what people wore the day after, but this year it was boring! A lot of bad bad bad and a lot of mediocre. I wonder why?
