Progress!

According to NY Mag (a girls gotta get her news somewhere, don't judge), a new health care provision was enacted that requires private insurers to offer your b.c. and other lady services without charging a copay or out of pocket fees!  Finally, someone has realized that b.c. is cheaper than babies. 

... the only caveat is that religious institutions have the right to refuse to cover b.c.  So probably don't work for them if you want free b.c.

The jury is out...

When I first saw this dress, it made me crinkle my eyebrows in wtf-ness.  I had to click on it to get a better look.  The longer I stared at it the more interesting I found it... like some cuckoo project runway outfit that's half awesome half flaming disaster.  I feel like this looks a little bit like it's made out of Fraulein Maria's window curtains from the abbey (a step down from the fancy pants curtains she found at the Von Trapp Estate).  And the bows are a little twee and the hiked up part in the front reminds me of some lady who got her dress tucked in her pantyhose at church when I was a wee young lass (sidenote: can we all praise the lord that pantyhose are essentially extinct).  But something about it just speaks to me.  Maybe I have finally lost it.

Thoughts?

Pop Music as Spoken Word Poetry: Last Friday Night

Oh Katy...

I used to think that this song was just absolutely terrible.  But the more I listened to it, the more the stupid thing grew on me, and reminded me fondly of my alcohol soaked twenties in NYC... (sorry mom... p.s. these pics are not me).  Also the video is a little hilarious (bonus points for a shout out to Miss Friday herself, Rebecca Black).

There's a stranger in my bed,
There's a pounding my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbie's on the barbeque
There's a hickie or a bruise

Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a black top blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Last Friday night



Yeah we danced on tabletops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
 
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trois
Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Whoa-oh-oah

This Friday night
Do it all again
This Friday night
Do it all again

Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell my boss
Think the city towed my car
Chandelier is on the floor
With my favorite party dress
Warrants out for my arrest
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail

Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled

Versace for H&M

Versace (in my head I am pronouncing this "Ver-sayce" like Nomi Malone from Showgirls) will launch a line for H&M November 17, 2011 in 300 stores as well as online.

Rumor has it the collection will include this dress

<--------------

which I find to be pretty fabulous. Worst case scenario, it will be a tacky pile of studded polyester "leatherette". If nothing else, it will at least be interesting.

Happy Tuesday

There is something so entertaining to me about Kim Jong Il Looking at Things.  I'm not sure what it is.  His distinguished air.  His entourage.  His discerning eyes masked by ladies sunglasses.  It's almost as if his full time job is to just go around looking at things.  Which sounds like a job I am pretty qualified for.  I might have to look into this. 

Look at this wine.
