Destined to be Together- Isaac Mizrahi and Me

Recession... blah, blah, blah....we all know it's really here. Gas prices, while declining are still high. We are eating out less. We are all looking for ways to cut corners whether it's using the new grocery store's amazing coupons ($20 off $50 or more!!! OH MY!) or cutting back on our latte runs, most of us are feeling the pinch. We do what we can with what we have and make do without, right?And I'm going to speak for most of us, we all L-O-V-E a bargain. I am a bargain shopper myself. Nothing excites me more than delving into real sales racks and finding that golden ticket of a find. That time I scored a full Ralph Lauren bed set for $69.99 at the actual outlet? Back when outlets were still the real deal? Spectacular! I still have the comforter over 10 years later locked in a closet … [Read more...]

Part of the Bush Abstinence Program?

There I was listening to my Saturday Snark, a.k.a. "Wait, wait, don't tell me..." on NPR when I hear them discussing Kmart's latest foray into fashion- Chastity Pants.Immediately I had to go and look these puppies up. Was this some sort of joke? Nope. They are not and here is the proof- and bonus! They are already marked down!While the whole needing a key to pry off some sort of metal belt is not an option (this is the millennium after all) I couldn't help but wonder what the sam hell the slogan was doing being splashed across the butt. I mean seriously! Is that really the way to proclaim your stance these days? It doesn't count unless it splayed across your tookas? Is it any better than a shirt like this? … [Read more...]

*Pop!*

Yup. You heard it too?That is the sound of me expanding. I've popped. In one day.From Saturday to Sunday this weekend I seem to now be showing. You would think with all the walking and ab work I did it would have made a difference, but bean number two or Dash Two as I'm referring to this kid until some personality shows, has decided to makes it presence known.Maternity clothes are in effect and I'm diggin' the rubber band look for my pants. While not quite ready for most maternity shirts my regular fitted ones no longer fit. I'm in a clothing dilemma. This is where I need some kind-hearted designer or maternity clothing company to send me some of those in-between clothes. AHEM!Also, today is the last day to enter my SanDisk Mother's Day contest. It's 8GB people! Jump on board before it's … [Read more...]

WTF Thursday!

Seriously? Why?!? This is the uber-cool, must-have for Spring? Are you kidding me? I can really see myself traipsing about town in my Hoodlet.
