Dating Fall Television

It used to be that I only had to have a round of first dates with new tv series every fall, but somehow shows come out all year round nowadays. Fall still has the most releases and I make a point of dating each new show of interest at least once. I'm constantly looking in the newspaper in early august for the guide that talks about all the new shows. This fall i've started with The Good Wife, Mercy, Melrose Place, and The Beautiful Life (TBL). Sadly TBL has been cut already, and oddly I found it worth watching.

Another show i've found and am now obsessed with is Sons of Anarchy! Amazingly written show about a biker club in California. Believe it or not, makes me want to maybe meet a biker for a new experience!

when 3 inches is considered huge!

Don't believe people who say size doesn't matter, it does! And in this case 3 inches was HUGE! Friday night baby g, my infamous silver tabby was running around my room like a maniac talking away. Well she'd found something and it was a 3 inch palmetto bug! HUGE! FREAKIN HUGE! Now, at least this cat is smarter than my first cat Lipstick. Lipstick once saw a bug and ran under the bed. This time I got a cat who could find and chase the bug but failed to get it!!!!!! I started to sweat, scooped up the cat and armed myself with scrubbing bubbles and a broom. i have no idea what i thought the scrubbing bubbles would accomplish but I had it. Then I called security, not sure what I thought they would do! So here's how it played out. Security showed up and the nice gentleman looked more scared than me. He couldn't find it, he suggested roach spray, a real genius! What i can't figure out is how that damn bug ended up on the 9th floor of a high rise building. I slept on the couch friday night, better than i'd slept in a week I might add. Saturday included a trip to TARGET for roach traps and roach spray. My room is now booby trapped for that damn palmetto bug, traps in every corner, spray along all the baseboards!

Hopefully i'll be back to sleeping in my bed soon. Because i'm dreaming about bugs, which is not a good thing! I wonder how long the palmetto can last inside. I googled the bug, which turned out to be worse than googling an illness because then i feared that the palmetto was pregnant and laying eggs!

ARGHHHHHHH!

Some days everything doesn't come up roses and daffidols!

It's the Jewish Holidays. Time to start a new, repent, ask for forgiveness and the time to determine who shall be inscribed in the book of life. In the last two weeks I've been directed to the blogs of 2 friends of friends who have recently been diagnosed with and are fighting cancer. It makes me sad, no one deserves to get sick or have bad things happen to them. When I read their stories i am so inspired by the strength they personfiy when faced with the reality of literally fighting for their lives. I have them in my thoughts and prayers, and now on my favorite websites so i can follow their journey and root them on each step of the way! I'm a firm believer in paying it forward and every little bit counts!

So while in Gypsy everything was coming up roses and daffidols, not so much today!

Here's to a sweet new year for everyone I know!

Happy to Report i looked good and I have a super new item for all of you!

NY was a success, my clothes were appropriate and even garnered a few compliments from the garmento's! Found some great stuff and wanted to show you the newest bracelets that will be arriving shortly they are INCREDIBLE and sold at Fred Segal, Bendels and Shop Bop!

My fear of looking like a farmer!

It's that time of year again, actually that time of year happens twice a year for me. May and September. I go to New York and I dread the thought of what to pack, what to wear and sticking out like a farmer from Kansas. I like to think i'm pretty fashionable, but here in Miami it's 88 degrees on a cool day in September. It's not that it's cold in NY right now, but they are ready for fall, labor day is over and they are in transitional clothing and the women all look SO RIGHT! I fret about do i wear short sleeves and stick out, will I be hot in long sleeves, do i layer or is layering so 2008? Do i stick with basic black and white or do i go for fall color? Are they wearing fall color yet in NY? Do i focus on the accessories so that the clothes aren't the focus?

It never fails, i have the same problem in May, long sleeves, shortsleeves, light colors, what fabrics?

Here's the truth, NO ONE IS LOOKING AT ME, and this is all in my own mind, but it's stressful nonetheless.

Off to pack!

Ahhhh, this show brings me back to college!

So tonight was the big one, the one i've actually been waiting for since my days of sorority formals, rush songs and off-campus apartments! Melrose Place 2009! Let me just say, it was good and i'm certain that many a ladies in their 20's 30's and 40's either watched or tivo'd! I'm not afraid to admit it! We went back because we have so many great memories of watching the mindless show with our friends, talking about it the next day and to be young and carefree again!

Most of you won't believe this, but the last episode of the original Melrose Place aired on May 24th, 1999. 10 Years! Sydney and Michael didn't look much older! That must mean neither do we! Ohhhhhhhhhh, the thrill of being transported back! So go ahead, kick off your shoes, curl up on the couch, invite your girls over for a glass of proseca and indulge! This time we are legal!

See you next tuesday!

Raised Brows!

To me eyebrows are like toes, kinda ugly but ultimately require attention. Of course there are different levels of attention. You can do your own pedicure or opt for a Korean quickie or a luxurious spa pedicure. Eyebrows are the same, you can pluck in your mirror, go to the local wax-o-rama in your city, be hip and get threaded.

The eyebrows have always been a chore for me, but I have a solution for all and am telling you i am now a TRUE BELIEVER. Anastasia of Beverly Hills has outposts in Nordstrom. Besides selling all of her products, from simple brow pens to stencil kits (that is a bit much!) they do waxing right there on site with a registered aestitican. First they start by measuring your eyebrows, (they show you these drawings on your eyebrows, but don't be scared!) but within 20 minutes your eyebrows look great! they also wax anything above the neck, they tell me!

This is a must and really professional so I really suggest you check it out!
