It's A Man, Baby!!

Here's a link so y'all can call NBC and ask them why the hell they're promoting this son of a bitch's new book.

Some Stuff I Watched Over The Holiday

Oh, the awful memories this documentary brought back. This follows several high school seniors in Warsaw, Iowa. The popular, and the not so. It's a great reminder of why I don't miss high school one bit. It also made me cringe because my oldest child starts ninth grade in August. Yikes.
A film worth watching, for sure.

This movie is soooooooooo good. I have a thing for films about the Vietnam war. This is based on a true story which makes it even more fascinating. Christian Bale was incredible.

I Hope You All Have a Great Christmas

Some cute and odd stuffed creatures from Areaware.

There's something about Rufus Wainwright's voice that just gets me. Beautiful song. Beautiful version.
I still haven't seen I'm Your Man, but it's on my short list.

My husband and I watched this last night. I had seen it before, he hadn't. He liked it and I was amazed how good this film is even the second time. It has a few contrived-feeling moments, but these moments still succeed because they're part of such a great whole.
I felt like squirming in my seat during certain scenes because I was reminded of those moments in my life when I have had a racist thought or judgment. It's nothing I'm proud of; I just think this film is so important for that reason......It really makes one aware of mistakes some of us have made. Let's hope a lot of the racist prejudices and stereotypes portrayed in Crash will someday soon be a thing of the past.

I am in love with these Camper boots. They are kind of odd and spat-like. So cute.

If You Thought Joe The Plumber Was An Idiot........

OMG. Why did I even read this article from the Huffington Post? Some losers shouldn't even be given the time of day once.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! I'm having campaign flashbacks!

I read this book to my two youngest kids last night. It's a sweet, hilarious love story about an unlikely pair.
Pete, the pig loves his simple, organized life. When Pickles , the elephant enters the picture, she complicates his life in ways he never imagined........but he ends up loving her nonetheless.
Sounds like a lot of real love stories out there!

Who doesn't love Zooey? Her voice is so retro and cool.
My kids and I watch this movie every year around this time.

Does anyone else who's read this book think Robert Pattinson is a strange choice for the film? Isn't Edward supposed to be beautiful?? Pattinson is verging on ugly, I think. Sorry........

Someone Get Me These Boots........Quick!!!!!!!!

This photo is from Lucky. Great boots. Kinda look a little like cockroaches, but I love them.

Chelsea Handler Says What I Think

I just finished reading Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. Not the most challenging read, but the woman does tend to crack me up.

Fluevog Fetish

I've loved John Fluevog shoes as long as I can remember. Years and years ago I used to get the catalogs in the mail and I would drool over all the cool shoes and boots.
Their collection has changed a bit over the years. They still have that funky splayed out heel and uniquely shaped toe boxes, but maybe it's just me.......there's not as much variety anymore. Still some very cool looks though.
