just some things.

hiiii. so i'm 24 today. i knowwww i'm so old, i'm like 85. i'm feeling pretty good about 24 though. i think it's going to be a good year for me. but now that i've been alive for 8,760 days (thank you blackberry calculator), there are certain things in life that i've just decided to accept i will never understand. and these things are temperature and geography.

geography. i went to school in missouri. "ohhh, where is that?" I HAVE NO IDEA. seriously. none. i just say "umm, it's not too far from chicago" and that's accepted. but where's chicago? not the faintest idea. i did my part in third grade when we had the test to fill in all the states on the empty map of the united states and since then, i made the decision to let that information go. and today, i am standing by that decision.

temperature. honestly, why is that i obsessively check weather.com yet when i am dressed for a snowstorm, the rest of new york is outside throwing frisbees and flying kites in jean shorts? and when i throw on a little dress and booties, i walk outside my apartment and people are in ski clothes!!! like having snowball fights and carrying hot chocolate. seriouslyyyy. i have decided to accept that 63 degrees means nothing to me. neither does 71. or 54. or 47. they just mean i will be inappropriately dressed and cold. or hot.

but it's ok because i'm 24 and i bought out the entire party city yesterday and life is gooddddd.

so let me show you my new purchases below. and also a glimpse into my messy room.

bunny ears awwww awwww awwww. these are from an earlier party city trip but whatever i'm including it because look how great they are with my polka dot bow! how cute and sweet? i tried working them into my halloween costume in some way but gene simmons isn't cute and sweet, he's cool and a little bit scary and also like why would i be normal and wear bunny ears on halloween when i could be weird and wear them on any other day of the year? you knowww what i'm sayin?

minniee ears. again, aww aww awww. i have like 80 pairs of mickeys but the minnie are just a-dorableeee. very good quality too, nice material and very sturdy. i must say. props to party city for really delivering with their props. hahah badumCHHH.

wish i could say the same about the quality of this little cat mask. it is literally made out of a paper plate. with floss as the whiskers. and the most stretched out elastic band. terrible. terrible quality. but it's cute so i bought it. god, i have problems.

pretty pretty princess. remember that game? well, now i will every day with my beautiful little princess tiara.

tiny little leopard ears awwww!! and they're a little bit furry and also the inside of the ear is made out of leather so they are very expensive and couture.

ok yeah whatever the gloves are completely random but like i couldn't just buy all little ears... that would be weird. and they are white and lacey which i find just darlingggg.

a queen hat!! for when i feel like a queen. ok fine, whatever i'll say it. i went completely psychotic and overboard. i couldn't handle the pressure of the magic of party city so i took it all home with me. DONT JUDGE ME. this is good stuff.

stickers stickers stickers. 350 stickers. stars and smileys and hearts! for when i'm grading papers if i'm ever a teacher. or just like to stick on things around my apartment. probably more likely the second but you never know.

HIPPIE TATTOOS!!! i am soooo excited for these. how cuteeeee are they? i have developed a sort of obsession with fake tattoos over the past year. normally, i go for the motorcycle ones because you know, i'm tough and grungy and stuff. but sometimes i go for princess ones. and last week we found ones that glittered and sparkled. but hippie? this is new and original and i LOVE it.

ok and lastly, this isn't from party city but while i'm already in photoshoot mode, i wanted to show you my new christmas sweatshirt. oh, just minnie and mickey kissing by their tree. but also to keep it extra gross and tacky, there are floating gingerbread men, reindeer, christmas cupcakes, and peppermint sticks. peppermint sticks? is that what they're called? i feel like that's not the right name. whateverrrr i don't even celebrate christmas but HOW CUTE IS THE SWEATSHIRT!!?

sooo that's it. just like a really mature 24 year old post about stickers and tiaras and minnie ears. oh ALSOOOO. i've been trying on all lady gaga's clothes for tour. no biggie really, JUST KIDDING IM FREAKING OUT. shelby assists the designer which somehow resulted in taking my measurements which resulted in me being the fit model. i don't really know. the point is i am getting paid to be fitted in lady gaga's clothes and i am well, dying. happy birthday to me :)

UPDATE UPDATEEE: November 12th. they are called candy canes. peppermint sticks? what was i thinking?? byeeee.

trick or treat.

hi guys, it's me gene. here i am halloween-ing it up last night. and i'm not trying to brag and stuff.. no actually i am. my costume was AMAZING. i really did it up this year. now i will display in pictures me doing it up.

so there it is. gene simmons was a great success. i would like to thank beverlyheels.com for supplying me with the best tranny shoes a girl could ever ask for, morgan schweitzer for the amazing artistic-ness he covered my face with and mac makeup wipes for being able to take it all off. and also, all of my fans. because for real, last night i had so many.

famous.

ok, i'm sure you all already know about this because you've most likely already picked up your 2010 toy and miniature poodle calendar BUT on the rare chance that you haven't, let me share the big exciting news with you.

it seems a member of my very own family is miss january! that's right. please direct your eyes to the top left corner of the second picture below which i have conveniently circled for you in neon green to see little scooby and max, my granma's dog, putting on their fiercest america's next top model faces.

i'm very proud of the little cuties but to be honest, they're looking a litttttleee bit stiff. you're miss january, boys!! loosen up!! roll around a little! and that cover girl?? she's looking a bit proper to have made the front spot, don't you think? that blue collar is totally washing her out! give the girl some bling!! this is the COVER for toy & miniature poodles 2010.

really, i'm only criticizing because i'm jealous. i wanted to be little miss poodle 2010. BUT. this isn't about me. this is about scooby. so congratulations, babe. don't let all this newfound fame go to your fluffy little head.

the saddest story ever told.

sooo last night i was planning on going out but i decided to take a quick little power nap around 8:30 so i would be really energized and awake for a night on the town. flash forward to 3:04 AM when i am still tucked soundly into my comfy bed (seriously, STILL?? did somebody drug me??) when i was awoken by a text from my friend maxx. "lady gaga was at sway. she sang a song."

first of all. friends don't text friends about a secret surprise appearance and song by lady gaga AFTER the fact. friends CALL friends the second gaga enters the room so that the friend who is "napping" and OBSESSED with gaga can jump out of bed and into a cab. after she applies a little eyeliner. obviously.

it took me until 6:02 to even return to a peaceful sleep because i had to lay in bed tormented for three hours by the fact that ummm why was i SLEEPING when gaga was just like ohhh hey ok i'll go to the bar oh yeah i guess i'll sing. la la la paparazziiiii. well really, that's not entirely true. for about an hour, i stressed about the fact that i missed the gaga sing-a-long. for two hours, i stressed about the fact that some of my friends could have been at the bar to enjoy the gaga sing-a-long!! and i knowww that sound's really selfish and stuff but i guess i AM really selfish and stuff. and if i missed gaga, i don't want my friends to be with gaga having fun. i want everyone to be at home and miserable that they missed out on the party too.

and that is all. a quicker text message next time puh-leaseeee. long live lady gaga.

blah blah.

i'm SOOOO excited for halloweeennnn. i think i'm going to have a really good costume this year. i've been planning it since last year when i was a real idiot too cool for school loser who decided not to do halloween. i know, i know, it's really lame. i had this weird thing where i was like "ewww i don't NEED to dress up for halloween. i dress up every day of the year so tonight i am NOT" really, that's what i said. it was even in a bratty tone of voice like it sounds and i am SO sorry for that temporary little slip of judgment. basically, i sulked in sequins while everyone else dressed like bananas and power rangers and kittens and stuff like normal fun halloween respecting people. anywayssss this year i'm going with a better attitude AND i am going to be gene simmons. ta-dah.

alsoooo jen gave me a new baby octopus ring. i don't really know if it's a baby but that makes it sound extra cuteee. (awwwww) see below in the smallest tiniest worst picture to show off my new blingaring. (omg was that kind of a really good new word!?? webster, where are you? i have good material here!!) anyways, ladies and gentlemen, my ring.

ANDDD i wore my bikini t-shirt in real life and not just like on a photo-shoot for my blog. (ooo that sound's uncool) anyways, it was a hit.

and for the grand finale, here's pictures of me and lea doing photobooth on my mac. i know i should be over it by now but i'm not. 4 pictures in 4 seconds?? that's so cool!!!

k bye goodnight.

it's a party in the usaaaaa.

narcissism.

i just discovered that i can do that fun little four pictures in five seconds thing on my computer. i always thought it was a fancy setting that people with special new macs that haven't been dropped on the floor 18 times have, but apparently i have it too. cool!

i have some little stories and things to tell but right now on the tyra show, people are talking about home plastic surgeries gone wrong and OH MY GOD this is quality, quality television. 2 girls had an unlicensed doctor inject 20 shots of who knowsss what into their butts to make them look like j.lo but instead they went to the hospital and now they can't sit down for the rest of their lives. no wonder this show won an emmy. 

also, i think i'm going to try to wear polka dots everyday starting now. goodnight moon.
