This Halloween, me and my boyfriend (of over 4 years!) struggled as we usually do for a couples theme costume wondering what to wear for Halloween. We desided to go back to an older costume since we only show cases it at a party in Brooklyn but not for the masses. By the picture I'm sure you can quess what we were... Makeup test bunnys! A very creative, yet simple as you want costume that doesn't envolve a long process... As long as your sure what you want! I'll add more to this blog, post more picture's and explain at length how to not only to make your bunnys more scary but also do it on the cheap! Stay tuned!
Monday night after a trip to the city for Yoga I desided to go to one of my favorite spots to eat sushi called "Yummy Village". I was a little worried because the recession hasn't been kind to those who work in the customer service industry and money has been "tight" as they say. I ordered a Kani salad which is mainly crab meat with caviar in a light white mayo sauce for my appitizer. For my dinner I ordered a volcano roll, a califonia roll topped with crab meat, scallops, and shrimp in a light spicy sauce. Accompanied by a glass of water. Not only did my meal come out to the cheap price of sixteen dollars but the chef was in a genorus mood, gave away two appitizer specials (fried asperagus and two fried spicy tuna rolls) and the service was amazing! I love places that make me like a star and "Yummy Village" has never failed me. Oh yeah... They also have a happy hour two for one plum wine special! Check out this hot spot near Mcdougal and Blecker!
So when the new Melrose Place first aired I wasn't to hopeful of anything coming from the show other then the comedy that is Ashley Simpson's Bad acting who plays the now crazy scandalous Character Violet. But after watching the first five episode's it's clear to me that this show's revamp and new cast are a force to be reckoned with! The development of each character, the plots, and the wonderful snippets of Sidney's past have taken all the viewers for a spin. One such character is Lauren played by Stephanie Jacobsen! (Who has also been in Battlestar Galactica: Razor and Terminator The John Conner Chronicles)
For those that don't know Lauren is a aspiring doctor in college. As the series open's Lauren's parents break the sad new that they can no longer help her foot the bill for school and is a paycheck away from being kick out completely! As the season continues, she finds herself in the company of men willing to pay for arm candy, sex, or even just a sexy lady who makes one hell of a rent-a-date. Now, I know this is just a plot on a television show but the sad part is how close to real life this is for a lot of people right now. I've seen to many news article's about Young adults that move to big cities hoping there dream's will come true as long as they push hard enough, having to pack up and go back home because the economy is pushing back harder then it ever has before! It seems like nowadays having two job's isn't enough. And what's worse is most people are just stuck with no hope of reaching upward even if you have a degree. I to have been getting myself together to go back to school hoping that a ray of light will help guide me to greener pastures, and by that i mean More Money! Lauren isn't the only character who is having issues paying the bill's. On the show, most of the Melrose Place residents are working for people who have ego's and attitudes the size of Noah's ark, stealing, scrapping for cash in unsavory ways or just hoping someone will call them with a paying Gig. What's the message that Melrose Place is trying to get across? Maybe that by the time the people with money, the politician's, governments, and banks are ready to get off there butt's and help out with this struggling economy, they'll have a lot of people in there late twenties to late thirties who will be in desperate need of some Psychotherapy... or just a lot of upper's! Thanks for reading and don't forget to check out Melrose place on the CW every Thuesday at nine ET!
Since MTV's commercial's started airing for there show "The Hills" everyone has awaited the arrival of new cast member Kristen and after the first two episodes of the new season I can see why! Hooking up with Audrina's unofficial ex-boyfriend Justin-Bobby, making friends with Heidi's enemy from last season (who I love!) Staci, and causing Jade's ugly side to show even more due to Brody and Kristen's past relastionship. Can't wait to see what's gonna happen next! But besides all the obvious drama Goodies that this show has offer there are actual friend ships being formed between Audrina and... Wait for it... Stephanie? When did these two become such good BFF? Hopefully this new found bond won't break Stephanie into a fourth girl to focus on because the world isn't ready for The Hills to be filled with the sound of Pratts!
I Love this Trailer!!!!! I know there are so many things I could be writing about but I'm so Excited about the New season of "The Hills"! It's actually what got me excited about staying home during the beginning of the week. I would make a great meal, Get out a bottle of wine and have a me night starting with "The Hills" Then ending with "Bad Girl's Club" Which I found the perfect mix of Drama. After watching both I'd always feel thankful for my life being so drama free but would also feel secretly scandalous like someone just told me a secret and were the only two who know! I Am sad about Lauren Conrad not being on this season but I'm Curious to see what Kristin Cavallari will bring! Plus Bartender Staci is joining the cast as well as the rest of the usual suspects.
So truth be told I haven't been inspired to write much... This summer has been so crazy. I have meet some amazing people due to my videos and blogs but I needed something new... And I found it. Every other Sunday at work, me and a friend would sit for an hour or more and talk. Others started to join in our discussions and then it came to me.... Why not turn this into a show? With that I started working very hard gathering topics, outreaching to anyone who was interested, and taking pictures all over nyc of the show mascot. After the new YouTube show called "Conversations With Melinda and Chris" was birthed! Love, sex, and relationships are just some of the things that we talk about and we really get into it! You can check us out at http://www.YouTube.com/convoswmandc and tell us what you think. I'll also be continuing to post things on my page and make more videos... And if there is anything you'd like me to blog about let me know! Thanks for your continued support!
Oh yeah... This my first blog posting I've made on the iphone app bloggerlite! What do you think?
After mondays Twitter Battle Chris Crocker made a video about an un-named person saying that he hate's people who have online names starting with "The in them" and proceeded to go on a rant about how they suck. Later that night I found this Video helping me to understand a bit more what happened and why.
When I was first contacted about reading this book I was very nervous because I had never done a review of a book on my blog before. I didn't know what the Book was about and once it arrived I was extra nervous just by reading the Title "Good Says No" since I Have my own Idea's on religion and my sexuality but was raised Catholic. Anytime i see Religion and sexuality together in a story i am always afraid of what might come up such as... Treatments to turn a person back to Straight (Or to God as some would say). I Composed myself after a couple of days and then got right into reading. Written By James Hannaham, its the story of a young black southern male named Gary (Or Gary gary) and his struggle to come out of the closet to himself, friends and family, and most important to him God, set in the 1980's. Hannaham has a way of describing the scene so that you feel like your there and participating in the what's going on! You really understand each and every single character and what there feeling right down to the people in the Choir. There's lots of laughter, tears and hope within the pages of this book. I don't want to ruin anything but If i were you I would go pick up this book today! As a young gay black male Its great to read this struggle and feel like I'm not the only one who has had not just struggle's with family but with religion, and read about a positive outcome. I just want to also thank Workhouse Publicity for giving me the chance to read such an uplifting book!
