Mad As A Hatter

Some people are a little too into Alice in Wonderland, if you ask me...

Wild Animal Hair

We've all had days where our hair doesn't look exactly perfect.  More like a lion's mane than anything else.  Well, these photos of some hair take that to the extreme.

Walrus hair

I kind of remember seeing these photos in passing quite a while ago.  But I just came across these tonight and thought I would post them.

Just a thought...

Dancing the night away

Julianne Hough workout

So I've been looking for some new workout videos lately, and I have a few in mind I want to check out.  I was at Best Buy today, and randomly saw Dance With Julianne Hough: Cardio Ballroom.  Now, I'm no professional dancer, though I did take some dance classes when I was younger.  I've always enjoyed it, and wanted to maybe find a class around here.  Anyway, I took a chance (and $10), and purchased it.  I'm a little uncoordinated at times, and still working on getting the moves down, but I think I'm really going to enjoy this video.  It's a good cardio workout, but doesn't feel quite like a regular workout since it's dance.  I'd recommend it to anyone looking to try something new.

Wish I had some yummy cupcakes to snack on.

QotD: Olympic Games

Have you been watching the Olympics? What's your favorite event to watch?

My favorite event for the Winter Olympics is probably figure skating.  This year I got drawn into it, and kind of fell in love with Johnny Weir and his crazy/fabulous costumes.  I've seen him described as the Lady Gaga of figure skating, and I can totally see that.

QotD: Most Trusted Celebrity

Forbes magazine recently released a list of the 10 Most Trusted Celebrities (according to Americans). Which celebrity would you add to the list? Anyone on there you think shouldn't be?

I'm mostly just surprised that there is only ONE woman on this list.  Really?  I realize it may not be half and half, but I'm surprised at such an uneven idea.  And of all people, it's Sally Fields.  You'd think you would find Oprah on the list.  People always listen to Oprah.

Pucci Fall 2010 RTW

After seeing that last photo on Twitter, I decided to head over to Style.com and take a look at the whole collection.

First, the dress that started it.  You can see a lot more detail.  Love it.

Pucci004

Another black dress to wear out.  Not quite as fancy as the above, so you could get a lot more use out of it.  At least considering the part of California I live in.

Pucci003

I could totally see wearing this one just out shopping or out to eat with friends.  Of course, I'd need it a tad bit longer.  Though, given how tall this model is, it'd actually probably fit me fine.

Lastly, something I could see wearing to work during the cold weather.

Perfect LBD

Love this dress by Pucci.  It looks like the perfect dress to wear out to a fabulous cocktail party, or maybe NYE.  I know I'm not likely to be able to afford anything like this any time in the near future.  But maybe at least find something similar.  I love the long sleeve/mini look.
