Merde I Love Them Jimmy Choo


Let's just start off with how fabulous the summer collections have been so far! I am at a point where I would die if I saw one more piece that I almost fainted over. (Yes......the fashion is really that good right now!)

The spring/summer 2010 collections are really bring the pretty back. The florals, the bows, the bustiers, the ruffles, the sheer fabrics, and all of the gorgeous gorgeous draping. For me, the major designers who I think absolutely owned it this season were: 3.1 Philip Lim(every season with him is to die! Invest girls!), Lanvin, Givanchy, Christian Dior, Nina Ricci, Alberta Ferretti, and Balmain. And that is just a short list. The glorified sequin trend is still here but is getting a lot lighter. The mini dresses are mini and the maxi dresses are even more daring with their high splits. I think you'll see a lot of femme fatale inspiration. Below will be a quick list of contemporary designers that I love and are great choices if you are just starting to add a little upscale pieces to your collection.

Elizabeth & James (After 3 years, this line continues to always be my favorite to shop. Feminine, grungy, sexy, and all around fabulous is the only way I can describe E&J)
Rebecca Taylor
McGinn (try on a size larger then usual. Very tiny line but it's adorable.)
Leifsdottir (just gorge)
Velvet (It's comfortable chic and at a good price point and you can even find the line at anthropologie)
Alice & Olivia (I used to adore this line and then I think they had a couple bad seasons but as of right now I am all about them again!)
James Perse (best t's ever)
3.1 Philip Lim (back when he was affordable. His line is always HOT!)
TIBI (I either love or hate their collections. Usually a tailored look. I do have a ruffled dress from them I love though. But I do recommend it)
D&G (obvi)
Robert Rodriguez (hot)
Loeffler Randall (love)
Vince (best sweaters ever. Pricey but well worth it)

All these lines should be available to you at your local Sak's, Bloomie's, Nordstroms, and also at your local higher end boutiques. Most pieces are shipped in with each piece in every size. It's okay though because the store will look up a sister store and if they have it in your size there they will ship it right to you or to the store if you chose. Sizes in these lines usually run small or just right. NEVER try on a 0 when you know it's not getting over that ass. I grab 0's all the time and come right back out to get 2's or 4's. If you do not have anything near you that you can go look at these collections, you can always shop online. Net-A-Porter, ShopBop, Singer22, and more will definitely have what your looking for. Happy Summer shopping. *I forgot to add.....the lingerie look is very in so just be careful to do this correctly. You don't want to look like it's halloween. Ohh and P.S. Juicy has the HOTTEST black leather short shorts. Amazing

Baby Come On Control Me


WHOA....so I am going to totally half ass this because I know that most of you, including myself, love to hear and watch this shit for 20 minutes a week and then don't want to hear about it for another week. That being said, yep you guessed it, were going to do a quick run through of The Hills season 9,000. Starring Kristin, Brody, Audrina, Ryan Cabrara(seriously Audrina? I mean really now), Steph, Holly, my arch nemesis Lo(sorry but I just cannot stand the girl. She is boring. Very boring), Brody's bff(And who is he again?), and the lovely Mr. and Mrs. Spencer and Heidi Pratt. The last two characters/maybe real life people/lets just hope they are characters cause they scare the shit out of me; are those we will concentrate on this evening. Now please everyone gather and bring your Crystals because were going into the "war zone."

I'm really good at psychology and can usually diagnosis someone within a 2 minute rate. Spencer was a pretty normal nornal guy like the rest of guys in their 20's should be but I believe it was around when Lauren actually started to stand up for herself I saw a change in his behavior. Now for expertise on all of this we would have to bring in my best friend Tera, who is a self admitted Hills addict, to decipher if I am correct but she is unable to help out on this at the moment so let's just take my word. Then I took a hiatus from The Hills because Lauren began to get very boring on me then she brought that really boring Lo on and they were mean to the only cool one on the show, Audrina, so I got sick of all the rich bitch drama. Last year I think I watched it but all I can remember is that they were all mean to Kristen and Brody was dating that transvestite looking girl who I wish I could remember her name. She just didn't seem like a nice person at all. And Justin Bobby was riding around on his motorcycle being a true pimp like always. (Love that kid!)

So now on Final Season, we are truly getting into the deeper and true meaning of what we all call The Hills. It stared months back when we would be in Target looking at the tabloids while in line and seeing Heidi. I immediately jumped to "Why Heidi Why!" I am NOT trying to be mean or disrespectful to anyone who likes Heidi or knows Heidi personally(which I don't think any of my readers do but you never know), but I feel (2 min psyc eval) she has a serious case of body dysmorphia, depersonalization disorder, and let's add 3 dash's of pure crazy. So in the previous season or maybe even the season before that she got her nose and boobs done. I can't judge that with her living in Hollywood and being young with money. BUT at a later date in 2010 she had somehow concluded that if she got a whole new face and body she'd be a very happy person. Having your ears pinned back, new nose job, lipo on her inner thighs(ouch), lipo other places, a big butt implant, eyebrow lift, cheek injections, her chin was shaved down, huge lip injections, and her brand new I don't know how she walks, breasts; could never bring true happiness. I think I got it all but if I don't feel free to add in. The poor girl looks like a whole other girl. Like a porn star-bad facelift-and boobs made for clowns. I really did think she was pretty on the 1st season too. But don't worry she still wants to upgrade those EEE boobs. "I really want them to be like H's for Heidi"

Now onto where the true crazy lies......Spencer Pratt. He began this season with his crystal collection which apparently protects him from almost everything evil the world could bring but in exchange I think Spencer sold his soul because I have NEVER met or seen a person with his type of behaviors. I'll try to do my (2 min psych eval) but I don't even think I can unlock the true madness inside the mind of Spencer Pratt. Let's list a good amount to make sure we get them all........Delusional Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, OCD, Depersonalization Disorder, and a large dash of just plain good old psychosis. Okay some of these I cheated on and went under psych disorders and found. The Narcissistic Personality Disorder is great! It's soo Patrick Bateman. Now let's hope Mr. Pratt doesn't turn into a real life Bateman but at this point he's acting soo scary I wouldn't even want to be in the same room. The past few episodes have shown Spencers withdrawal from the social world. He said 2 weeks ago "I don't have a sister. Who said I have a sister. That was in my past life." Then Holly visits The Pratt residence and he begins to "scream at her calling her and Heidi's mother just a vagina that Heidi came out of and that she is nothing to him."

So we know they own $400,000 worth of "magic crystals". "This one is for geniuses. It opens your mind to everything...and helps you to really think when you're in a war zone." Okay what? Please describe what your translation of a War Zone is. The as Heidi sits there with her permanent happy-dumb face, nodding, Spencer tells the gang that "Heidi is allowed no television, no internet, no phones, all shes allowed to do is read and write poetry, pet puppys, and pray."
MUST WATCH

Great Quotes from the Pratts


Spencer Pratt: "I'm trying to live a more positive, holy life, but it takes work. It's hard not sinning, you know?"
Spencer Pratt: "Jesus and I are making the connection."
Heidi Mintage: "Spencer didn't change me. I changed myself"
Spencer Pratt: "Honestly, Brody, I'm worried about you. You're the one showing up to all these events wasted. Maybe you need crystal therapy to sober up. Connect with nature and not the bottle, you drunk."
Spencer Pratt: "I line the windows with crystals, keep bad spirits out but keep Heidi locked in."
Spencer Pratt: “It’s true, I have a Marine in the house. He’s helping me write a script. And yes, we’ve been out of the house only three times this month, but that’s because I’m busy working on several business ventures.”

Alright I'm out....enough talk of this mess.

Peace & Love,
S

Fly Away From Here


*Something personal I feel the need to address

I've been writing a lot, which I love don't get me wrong, but I'm using it as a distraction mechanism so I can try to get my mind off of my father for a few hours a day. 17 days ago my dad was in a horrible motorcycle accident. He is alive and he will(with all hope and faith in God) fully recover. He was hit and ran over by an SUV who wasn't paying attention. He woke up laying underneath this car. If he had not had his helmet on he wouldn't have lasted more then a couple hours or just died instantly. I, ever since he got a motorcycle, which I believe was around 13-14 years ago, have been against it. I cried and cried but my dad loved it and promised me he would always be safe. And well here we are.

He is very traumatized by from the experience and was left in very poor condition. The biggest issue right lung which was punctured by one of his 8 broken ribs causing it to collapse. He finally got his chest tube out last week that was draining all of the blood in and around the lung but within a couple days he was back in surgery. He grew a high fever and they thought just the wound that the tube was in was infected but they had found much more than that. His entire right lung was covered on the outside with blood blots and the lung itself has so much fluid in it they had to put not one, but 3 chest tubes back in. Now I can't even huge my dad goodnight when I leave. His left leg was broken, chipped, and shattered and is not put together by pins and screws. If he were to put weight on it in the next 3 months, it will shatter again. The left leg is in a cast so it will not clot. He is unable to move that leg as well.

Now coming from a brighter perspective I will just say that my Dad must have had his best of best guardian angel team beside him that day. I haven't really heard of many accidents that involve motorcycles leaving the cyclist still living. What happened to my dad, even though it is horribly painful and is leaving him out of commission for the summer, he is going to make it. Most aren't that lucky. He is growing sadder by the day so I try to keep him uplifted. It is very hard though when I think all the morphine is really draining him out. No one likes to stay in the hospital. And after a while, you automatically start to shut down. I remember on my 3rd week in the hospital is when I really began to feel trapped and I still had 5 more weeks to go. It's normal to break down and want to give up and that is what he is going through right now.

This is to all of you who have Motorcycles, are thinking of getting Motorcycles, and all of those who ride on the back of Motorcycles; Please think again before you get on your bike. There's a lot to lose and you must not be selfish and really think about your loved ones. How and what would your family and friends do if you were killed? Now there are many things in life that are risky just in everyday so I am just wishing that everyone would listen and to not add another risk to your day. All of my fathers friends sold their motorcycles the week of his accident. My dad is done. And if you read this, I really wish for you to reconsider. My dad has been given a spared life. A second chance. No one knows why some are spared others are not but I am soo blessed to still have him with me.
**And to a friend who I know we are at a rough patch right now but please listen to me. You have already been given your spare life. You have to remember that God has already saved you once. Please do not buy a motorcycle. Especially telling me this after I told you about my father. You have an amazing family and amazing friends who would die to see you hurt again.
God Bless all of those who have lost a family member or friend to a Motorcycle accident. Bless your hearts.
Sarah


En Su Bolsillo


Although I always tend to be a pricey little shop-a-holic, we all know that I am a huge sucker for the guest designers creations every couple of months at Target. I think I did a run through of my closet, which nevermind I taped that and never put it up so I need to get my video blogging going, but anyways there is a good amount of the Target Guest Designer lines running around. The only concern that I have about these pieces is that they are done in junior sizing form. You always my be going up and down so you must try on. I usually go up a size or two if that is any indication. Sizing runs from 1-13 and XS-XL.

This early spring, Zac Posen graced us with his beautiful and now pieces as he did his line for Target. I give this line a 7 out of 10. I adore it but I can see how other may not. It's very fashion forward so if you don't usually shop for that kind of style you may not find it too appealing. I, for instance, love the line. It's amazing in your face designs are things you are not going to find elsewhere and for the price, I mean there are no words. The 1st things I would like to start with is the navy pant suit with the black detailing. This suit is very fierce and leaves you thinking of a very powerful woman. Perfect for the office and great to wear anytime. Take the regular cut pants for instance. Just throw on a black or white dressy tank and a solid colored high pump, and you are good to go. Same with the jacket. Fabulous to buy on it's own as well and you can use this both summer and winter pairing it with jeans, black dress pants, or even a great pencil or a-line skirt.

The Snap dress is the dress that I will feature out of this line. I grabbed this dress right away. *NOTE-must go up a size. The dress is in navy again with black and silver detailing. The cute is a major reason of why I loved the dress. It's very tight and gives a gorgeous fit, especially around the waist, cap sleeves, and a full skirt. I believe this would look amazing on everybody. The chest section in done in a low V with 3 or 4 pieces going across. That may be the only problem. I have a small chest so is did not cause any pulling or such but girls with bigger breasts may want to skip this one.

There is one skirt in the collection that is just to die. When you pass it on the hanger you look and say to yourself "what in the hell is that". What it is is the sexiest, ruched, pencil skirt with a gunmetal silver exposed zipper all the way down the skirt in the front. YOU MUST TRY ON. This was my favorite buy out of the collection along with a tie dye one piece swimsuit that is very sexy and has a great bottom on it.......well actually a no bottom on it. It's bazillion cut to the slimmest. Since this blog is so late I am sorry if some of the things are gone completely in your store. Great job Zac Posen........now if I could only afford your real work! Hope you guys all find something you love!

Peace & Love

Hot Like Mexico, Rejoice


*to those who are lucky enough to have never fallen into the facebook black hole and do not have a facebook account, this blog can be skipped over by you. For you are the lucky ones that don't have to look at half assed crap that they create and change to put in our faces everyday on facebook. Thank you.


Dear FB,

We've been friends since 2004 so when I said to my best friend today that I was really about to delete my account, she said "whoa whoa whoa, let's not get crazy here. you can't delete your facebook!" With that said, no I really feel like I do have a super strong connection to you that could not be fulfilled by any other mega queer social networking site, but if you keep pulling these crappy changes on me I just might have to(don't worry guys....I'd keep the fan page up for AWAYA of course.)

Now in 2004 facebook was so simple and delightful. You signed on to your page and you could only join groups that were from your university and to sign up you had to go through your college email to do so. It was very safe and cool. You know no randoms were going to get to you. As we moved forward facebook progressed but still went to your page when you signed on and now you could add friends from different schools and you could be in groups from all over the world. But slowly facebook went downhill. 1st bad move on their part......they invited high school kids to be able to join. Very stupid. And they developed a horrible opening page which they called the "News Feed." Basically what this so called news feed was was basically a stalkers paradise. All your crushes, bf, and ex bf's status's on one page. Totally not cool. This is when people started to fall into the "fb black hole". With all this news feed info bouncing around in your brain you found it completely necessary to click on everyones page and look at wall posts, groups, and photos until you could see straight anymore. When you called your friends they were obviously on facebook. If they weren't on facebook they were obviously talking about gossip that they saw on the news feed. Or, the worst of worst, they were crying because there crush had just changed his status to "In A Relationship". Yes these are all true stories and I KNOW you all know what I am talking about!
My other HUGEEEEE issue is the facebook suggesting friends and pages to you. That was bad but I took it. Now it suggests that you look at your friends old photo albums! Like why in the hell would I was to look at a random friends album from 3 years ago!!!!! I don't think so. Or the best is is that FB tries to make you write messages or write on the walls of the friends that you barely speak to. They like to call it "reconnecting", I like to call it garbage. The whole system going on over on the top right side on the home page is garbage! I don't care is I have 58 friends in common with a person. I still prob don't know them. I went to a school with 26,000 other kids! Moving on.

Now, like last week I think, they thought it would be cool to just make us "Like"(btw WTF is "like" all about" everything and anything we had written in our profile. Now that was just NOT COOL fb, NOT COOL. Then I don't know where in the hell the cool groups I used to belong to went. Ohh wait I found them. They are on my homepage, not even in my profile anymore for anyone to see. Then to make everything even worse is a total F'd up move they did a few months ago. Now we can't even use the privacy to say what we want going up on our wall or not. So everytime you "add a friend", "comment on a photo", "write on someones wall", or breath!!!!! it is recorded to your wall.

I think it's time this all stops. There are NO age limits, No college email limits, and the worst is that even Parents are now talking about and joining Facebook. Just not cool, not cool at all. Everyone should just do Twitter. I actually prefer it. You tweet quotes to yourself or write FML 20 times a day, tweet to celebs, and Post pictures of car doors or whatever. And NO ONE EVER BOTHERS YOU!!!! Because they can't because no one can write on your page! It's amazing. follow my sweet ass @sarahhollock and you'll see how joyous this is. If anyone reads this that is a part of the FB team I just want to let you know that you have created a MONSTER. Thanks!

Love To Make The People Stare


Somethings been bugging me. Something has been bugging me for a long time. It's something that I see a whole lot of people carry and think it is okay when in all reality they are making a huge fashion don't. The Coach Bag. I believe this bag became popular with all of it's glorious C's on canvas around the early 2000's. I know it was a time when we were all still in college. See being 2003 and being 21, sometimes you don't have the best judgement on bags and purchase what you see to be popular. I mean I didn't even start my fixation on bags until I graduated college and had my own money to throw around on overpriced but worth every penny big label handbags. I can proudly say I have NEVER owned a Coach bag but I don't want to be a total bitch here so let's just go over what made you buy that Coach bag, why in the world do you still wear it, and most importantly..........the on Gods earth to you think it's appropriate to add a Coach scarf or key chain or whatever awful accessories I see hanging off of these bags. Please know I am not trying to be mean, I am just trying to help. And please ALWAYS remember "Always chose LV's over C's". Learn it, Love it, Own it.

There are a couple of exceptions to this rule......chicks in HS that don't have any fashion knowledge yet, and women over 50. Fine whatever I mean this is still a huge fashion disaster but we'll cut these people a break. Let me tell you though, my mother is 62 and would never be caught dead with the "C" going on. I kinda taught her that though. You can also help your elders! So last night I was craving a philly cheese steak from the mall food court. While I eating a small piece of heaven and drinking my coke I began to Coach bags coming at me left and right. It was like a horrible nightmare but I was wide awake. I didn't even know people carried these yucky things anymore. Why are these bags still around I thought to myself? Now I know there are Coach stores everywhere now a days but I thought people would eventually come to their senses and know that overpriced canvas bags with C's all over them along with horrid decorations are not going to make them a fashionista. What I would like to do is just throw out there that it is soo easy for some people to get used to certain styles and just stick with them. Huge no no. So what I am going to do is try to introduce you guys to other styles and designers. And believe me just post your used Coach Bag on craigslist or ebay and it should sell very easily. Get rid of them.

Let's just start off with a huge NO on my end in the higher end category. Burberry Nova Check bags. With a great price point varying from around $400-$600 you might this these PVC made in china bags are a steal. No, they suck! Even when I was with the company myself and my coworkers just really pitied these bags and how fast they flew out of the store. I totally never got it. It's just a NO! Another line that is at a sensible price but if almost 99% horrid are bags from Juicy. I mean hello did you ever notice that they are ALWAYS on the sale table at Sak's. And just to top it all off basically ANY bad that states what brand it is all over the bag can take a hike! Girls.....these bags are supposed to be a longterm deal. A classic that you will always wear. Do not go and throw your money away on a small bag that has G's all over it for Guggi. Gucci had GORGEOUS bags. Why pay less and get a shitty one. Save up and get a limited edition one or one of the huge leathers with the classic Gucci clasp. Same exact thing goes for the Diors. I know those little saddlebags with the "CD"'s all over it they have are cute but believe me in 5 years you won't want to see that thing ever again. Not worth it! And lastly.......TRENDY LV small pvc bags. I love my Louis don't get me wrong but do you ever still see Jessica still wearing her huge white Louis she wanted so bad and wore endlessly on Newlyweds? Yeah, I didn't think so either.

Bags that are fabulous and around the same price as the Coach bag that you just sold! Kooba bags. I love this line. Amazing leather and classic styles. If you want a logo on you this is not for you. Bag's range from like ehh $300-$600. It may not have a name all over it but believe me these bags look more expensive and beautiful on then those "C" bags ever will. Coach bags have cheap written all over them. Marc by Marc Jacob. Not my pick by any means but this is a good line. Some have the label all over it and some do not. Good for the girl in her 20's. Price range around the same as Kooba. Tory Burch. I think these are a great choice. I just saw one that I adored for $425 in just a great washed leather. Hobo International. I once was drooling over this bag when I think I was working and I asked her what it was and she said Hobo International so of course I went home and googled but could not find this exact bag but believe me they have awesome bags. Henri Bendel. love love love love. Best bags. Best price points. I just saw a new one that I am going to get when I have some extra money after wedding season! btw just for knowledge....Henri Bendel and Coco Chanel did accessories together. If you look at both lines you can see many similarities.
Now I'm just going to list some lines that I love and are to die:
Chanel
Balenciaga(I think everyone already knows about that obsession)
Miu Miu
Marc Jacobs(I still have dreams about getting a Stam bag)
Prada
Jimmy Choo
Ferragmo
And always remember "LV's over C's"

Peace and Love

You Should Be Honored By My Lateness


I do a humongous amount of dorky things. It's pretty bad and the worst part of it is that I don't care. I have never cared. I love my nerdiness so much that I am just about to tell you all the incredibly dorky things I do and enjoy. (P.S. Everyone has an inner dorky weirdo loser inside of them. Don't be afraid. Be proud!) haha

1. Okay there are a few instances where I sing so that's why singing will be #1. In my car there are a pile of CD's. Whenever someone is in the car I usually put on a "May 2010 hit list by S" on. My friend Bekah cannot stand these mixes. I made one especially for our roadtrip to Charleston, SC a couple weeks ago and she moaned as soon as she saw this. Anything that says a month with the year on it means nothing but it's a mix with my fav songs on it. NOTHING from that month or year will have any significance. The last one, Bekah, gave a year roundup of "ehh like '04 '05" to. That's pretty good. And if you know me all mixes contain but are not limited to-Spears, Jackson, Timberlake, Dre, Nirvana, Radiohead, Death Cab, Aqualung, Eminem, and a random song from a musical.

Now speaking of musicals.......this is a pretty high up there top secret so I cannot believe I'm telling it but here it goes. In the pile of CD's in the car you will not only find specialty mixes, CD's just bought, but also you will find full musical scores. Who jams to musical showtunes on a roadtrip? I do. When am I most likely to wreck? When listening to musicals. See the problem is is that I get soo into character that I forget I am driving and before you know it my eyes are closed and my arms are up in the air. Musicals currently residing in my vehicle-RENT(I always am Mimi), Chicago, Pippin(random I know), Miss Saigon, Kiss Me Kate(I can't get that "too darn hot" out of my head lately), and of course Wicked.

Now I don't know which would be considered dorkier. My cars Musical Theatre selection or it's Glee collection. I don't know, you tell me. So everyone should know by now that I have a thing for Glee and consider it the best thing since...well ever. I do not do up to the episode weekly mixes so I guess that just made me a lot more cool but from this fall's "Road to Sectionals", I have 3 mixes available in my car(and another 1 in the house). Yes all have the same songs on them but they are of different order. Of course you wouldn't know that because they all being with "Defying Gravity". Another statement that I make on the Glee CD's is the classic use of repeating certain songs. You will find that Defying Gravity, Don't Rain on my Parade, and my fav......the Halo/Walking on Sunshine mashup are on the CD's at least twice. If I like something why should I have to hit the back button to replay it? I've been known to make whole CD's of just one song. If I like something I will want to hear it on repeat please. *That goes out to you Nique! She just loves when I make her CD's with one song. Yep.

Let's take a step out of the car and enter a nightclub. So if you can kind of notice, I'm not really up to date on the music scene. Unless you're one of my favorite artists, I just really don't care. But don't worry I totally know how to jam out without even having heard the song. So we're at a table, everyone's dancing, the champagne is flowing, and the DJ is kicking it. While not in convo, I find it most appropriate to look like you have something totally cool going on; Like rapping. I mean everyone loves a rapper. Especially a SWF rapper. Draws in the guys real nice. When I say "rap" I mean saying "watermelon cantaloupe". Back in 6th grade vocal we learned if you didn't know what the hell was going on and you were live in the chorus to just lip sync watermelon cantaloupe. Those two words are supposed to sound like every word in the english dictionary all mashed into one. You guys might want to write that one down. It's just that cool. Then you scream "hell yeah! I love that new Luda!" Not only do you look cool cause you "knew all the words", and guys are totally gonna think that's hot that you can rap.

Let's bounce. So say you have a wonderful day off, it's dreary outside, and you have not an ounce of work to get done. What's better then spending the next 2-3 hours working on your voice? This is completely normal let me tell you. So I'll pop in my Glee CD and start it off real easy kinda of just getting in the zone. Then it's time for warm ups which are about 20 min. Warm ups are one of my favorite parts! Then you move onto "your songs". For me this includes some great classics all the way up to today's hits. Now I am a mezzo-soprano so I have to be careful nothing I am attempting is too crazy. No Mariah and No Christina. Starting off with Lady Gaga is always a good move. I love to sing Poker Face acapella. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CUYvWTd6oA Now mine doesn't really sound like this but you know I try and that's what matters. Moving right along. Now here's where I get a tad cheesy you could say. I usually sit and sing a nice clean "Everytime" by Brit, Umbrella acapella (Mandy Moore style) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l607rEC8tzM , Violet by Hole(I'm a rocker at heart), and then something happens. My dancing genes go nuts and I take a break from singing and begin to lip sync. Now this section of the day could like last a few hours if I'm real into it. (I totally go into these trances where I forget everything and am just dancing. It's amazing for your spirit and soul cause you're soo high on dancing that nothing can bring you down. Almost as good as you feel when you are performing.) So obviously ya'll know where I'm headed.....the Britney comes on. Slave, Showdown, Circus, Get naked, Toxic, are a few favorite pieces of choreography that I like to do. Now when in heartbreak crisis mode there is a WHOLE different selection of songs but let's just not go there today! Then for the huge finale I always sing..........ta da!!!!!!! The Greatest Love Of All by Whitney!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KjpyHX7X-o Crack is wack! Now don't lie. You know that's your jam too when you sing. It's everyone's classic go all out feel good song to sing!!!


Wow I didn't know I was sooo dorky. I guess this might go on for days. Ohh gosh! More to come tomorrow and if you have any nerdiness that you would like to set free please message or comment and I'll be glad to throw it on in!
..........to be continued.

It's Too Darn Hot!


So it's May 11th(ok technically May 12th but I haven't gotten there yet) and I am just doing Must Haves of May. Sorry for the delay but you know all the drama and business that's been occurring lately. Please excuse. So let's get to it!


10. Nobody's Daughter by Hole. It's classic Courtney. It's not her best work but if you are a longtime Ms. Love fan than it is a must have for your collection. Better yet you want to try to hit up one of Courtney's gigs when she's in your area. Girl is a hell of a performer which I'm sure you all know. Now off to Courtney's nemesis these days; the young and talented rocker.........


9. The Pretty Reckless starring Taylor Momsen. Courtney has been snapping at Ms. Momsen for a while now about her image and her musical influences. I think Courtney needs to take a step back and admire the fact that Momsen is, in her own little way, imitating the successful Ms. Love. Imitation is always the most sincere form of flattery. We all know I love rock and grunge and Taylor is doing an exceptional job. Please go take a look at her website, listen to a few things, and see for yourself. In my eyes I think she is going to do extremely well. But Taylor.....never never say "I really want to be like Kurt" ever again. That's really sweet but he is not living. At least you didn't say "Kurt Cobain is my ideal boyfriend", like that skanky Miley girl did. http://www.theprettyreckless.com/splash/


8. The Brides of May. Best of luck to you all. Be beautiful and bring your own style into your day. This is supposedly the "best day of your life" so make sure you take all of it in and relax. And most importantly......do not drink alcohol! We have all seen what a stirr that causes. To Ms. Bowden, Ms. Patrinos, and Ms. Flamino, I wish I could be with you all on this last weekend of May. I will in my heart and Ms. Bowden we are going to have the time of our lives. Congrats Tera, Lara, and Ash!


7. The One Piece Swimsuit. If you don't feel like showing it all off this summer in a teeny bikini, don't fret....you have options. I actually just purchased one my self! But it was returned because I do not need another swimsuit in my life when I barely go out in the sun(we'll have a whole blog about that!). Here are some great places where I found GREAT one piece suits-Anthropologie, Juicy(so cute), and Target(the Zac Posen for Target line.) Let talk about the Posen line 1st. Amazing but only amazing if you have the hottest bod around! That's the sucky part. Due to this being a high end line for a low end store they still do the same cuts as they usually would. Very skimpy in the behind area. I personally LOVEDDDD it but I kinda felt like I was almost wearing a thong. Moving on. Anthroplogie. One of my girlfriends found 2 gorge one pieces from them. Very covering as well. Juicy. Juicy is a great in between model. If you don't want to cover up too much but you still don't want a bikini then these one pieces may be perfect for you. P.S. Never go swimsuit shopping after a night of eating and drinking. Just don't.


6. Bows. Last year I was wearing huge flowers in my hair at this time and this year I am wearing huge bows. This is a trend. If you do not feel comfortable rocking out a huge bow whether it be on your head or on your shoes, then simply don't attempt it. You have to go into this one with confidence. I adore the bow but I've always adored the bow so putting a headband on me with a floppy bow the size of my head isn't going to bother me. But I know it does bother most. What you can do to still be able to use this but not be self conscious is get a new bag with a bow on it. That is a simple way to express that you know whats gong on in the fashion world but are a simple girl. Pictured above is a lovely Valentino handbag. This is perfect. Or if you've ever seen the huge clutch that is just one gigantic bow that Vanentino does as well, that will work too. have fun with this!


5. Eyelash Extentions. I said it last month and I'll say it again. Eyelash extensions are it. And absolutely perfect for wedding season. Find a salon or spa near you that can fit your needs. And don't ever look at anyone on TV(even all the reality people) and think that their lashes are real. NO one has real lashes or hair right now. Everyone is a fake mess! I approve of lashes and hair but that's where I put an end to the madness out there! Cost=I have no f'ing clue.


4. Nude. It's all about the color nude. Love it. If not you need to learn to love it because it's hot and I said so. 1st-Nude colored Loubitons. These entend the leg in length where boys and girls will be dropping their jaws everytime you walk past. Since some of us cannot afford Loubitons(me), settle for a line such as BCBG MaxAzria. Max Azria has amazing amazing shoes which look very expensive. So instead of paying $795 for Loubs prepare to Spend about $225 for Max Azrias. It's worth it. And to go with those yummy long legs(please look at the photo of Taylor on the fan page) you will need yummy long long fingers! Chanel's spring polish in Django is worth every penny. I drool everytime I apply it I love it so much.


3. Rafael Nadal. It's Clay season as we all better know! And with that let me bring you the king of clay himself.....Mr. Rafael Nadal. Not only is Rafa a hot piece but he is also a world class tennis player and all around guy. BTW Rafa is kicking butt right now and has won everything over in Europe in the ATP tournament. Let's wish him luck this week in Madrid. XO hottie!


2. Attn: all hot boys and hot girls. Hello it's time to get your summer fling on! Do I need say more. P.S. I'm actually single so whoever gets to me 1st gets a kiss. x


1. Best Friends. Obviously


Peace & Love

You scream "someone save me"......


.....but they don't pay no mind, Goodbye.

I appreciate ALL music but I just wanted to give a shout out to someone who is not only helping me but I'm sure helping MILLIONS for the recent music he has put out over the last year and a new album "Recovery" coming out in June. It's funny how I bought this CD but one of my good guy friends who is also in recovery kept talking about it. I didn't think a thing because the kid loves Eminem as much as I love Britney. Truth. But I said F it one day while in Best Buy and picked up a copy. I came home and listened to the entire 20 track album. Ay 1st I found it a bit fucked up. Actually there are still songs I don't listen to. But my friend told me which tracks to focus on so I listened to those over again and again and again and here I am in May still talking about this album like I just bought it when in reality I've had it since early fall.

If you have been through some shit or you haven't this is still an amazing album. If you have been in the dark, blocked in by depression, addiction, and feel like you can't get yourself up again, you will honestly think think some of these tracks or even just pieces of lyrics are for you. I was talking to Allison last night and although she doesn't have "Relapse" she had listened to a couple tracks before and it was frightening how much she could relate. Below are the lyrics to one of my favorite peices. It's track 16, into on 15. It's about slipping up just a little and how quickly it turns into a relapse. I don't think anyone could have put it into words better than Eminem on what it's like. Because this is it. Period. Step by step.


Deja Vu



As I fall deeper into a manic state,
I'm a prime candidate for the gene to receive the drug addict trait.
Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate,
I seem to gravitate to the bottle of NyQuil then I salivate.
Start off with the NyQuil like 'I think I'll just have a taste'.
Couple of sips of that then I gradually graduate,
to a harder prescription drug called Valium like yeah that's great.
I go to take just one and I end up like having eight.
Now I need something in my stomach cuz I haven't ate.
Maybe I'll grab a plate of nachos and I'll have a steak.
And you'd think that with all I have at stake,
Look at my daughters face...
'Mommy somethings is wrong with dad I think!
He's acting weird again, he's really beginning to scare me.
Wont shave his beard again and he pretends he doesn't hear me.
And all he does is eat Doritos and Cheetos,
and he just fell asleep in his car eating three musketeers in the rear seat'.

Sometimes I feel so alone,
I just don't know, feels like I been down this road before.
So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me,
soon as I go home and close the door.
Kinda feels like Deja Vu, I wanna get away from this place I do,
but I can't and I wont say I tried but I know that's a lie cuz I don't,
and why, I just don't know.....

Maybe just a nice cold brew, what's a beer?
That's the devil in my ear I been sober a fuckin' year.
And that fucker still talks to me, he's all I can fuckin hear,
'Marshall come on we'll watch the game it's the Cowboys and Buccaneers'.
And maybe if I just drink half I'll be half buzzed for half of the time.
Who's that mastermind behind that little line?
With that kind of rational man I got half a mind,
to have another half of glass of wine sounds asinine, yeah I know.
But I never had no problem with alcohol.
Ouch look out for the wall aim for the couch I'm about to fall.
I missed the couch and down I go looking like a bouncing ball.
Shit must have knocked me out cuz I didn't feel the ground at all
Wow what the fuck happened last night? Where am I?
Man, fuck am I hungover, and god damn i got a head ache.
Shit half a vicodin why cant I?
'All systems ready for take off please stand by'.

Sometimes I feel so alone,
I just don't know, feels like I been down this road before.
So lonely and cold, It's like something takes over me,
soon as I go home and close the door.
Kinda feels like Deja Vu, I wanna get away from this place I do,
but I cant and I won't say I tried but I know that's a lie, and why, I don't know...

So I take a Vicodin splash it hits my stomach and ahh.
A couple weeks go by it aint even like im getting high.
Now I need it just not to feel sick, yeah im getting by.
Wouldn't even be taking this shit if DeShaun didn't die.
Oh ya there's an excuse you lose Proof so you use.
There's new rules it's cool if it's helping you to get through.
It's twelve noon aint no harm in self inducing a snooze.
What else is new? Fuck it what would Elvis do in your shoes?
Now here I am three months later, full blown relapse,
'Just get high until the kids get home from school holmes, relax'.
And since im convinced that I'm insomniac,
I need these pills to be able to sleep, so I take three naps,
just to be able to function throughout the day let's see
that's an Ambien each nap, how many Valium? Three.
And that will average out to about one good hours sleep.
Ok so now you see the reason how come he
has taken four years just too put out an album B.
See me and you we almost had the same outcome Heath,
cuz that Christmas you know the Pneumonia thing?
It was bologna, was it the Methadone ya think?
Or the Hydrocodone, you hide inside your pornos?
Your VCR tape cases with your Ambien CR, great places to hide ain't it?
So you can lie to Haley, I'm going beddy bye Whitney baby good night Elaina.
Go in the room and shut the bedroom door and wake up in an ambulance
They said they found me on the bathroom floor, damn!


Highlighted Sections-true, true, true, true. Whole track true but this is a line here is a line that plays in my head over and over......."I wanna get away from this place I do, but I cant and I won't say I try but I know that's a lie cuz I don't, and why, I just dont know....."


You go ahead and think about that line there. Sometimes you have to to to see what it would be like if this were you. But if you haven't there is no way to teach it and it's hard for outsiders to understand.


Peace & Love -S

I Used to Be a Junkie


I don't know if you guys know anyone with OCD but whoa do they just put the icing on the cake! Now you know I'm not one to talk about mental disorders(depression, anxiety, adhd, self proclaimed insomniac, addiction)so don't think I'm talking shit here cause I'm totally not. I think in a previous blog I mentioned that my father is in the hospital. Well let me tell you when I go to do my 8 hours of visiting it's like I'm clocking into work! I don't even want to go there with some of the slavery actions I am made to do.....but I will haha!

So he was placed in a regular room late yesterday afternoon. Now you have to remember my dad broke 7 ribs, can't move either leg, and the left leg is horribly broken and shattered so he isn't even aloud to put ANY PRESSURE on that leg for a good 3 months. Lucky me! So all he can do is really lay there. By his bed he has tables on each side. The nurses don't give an f about his OCD(I self diagnosed him with that. I basically could be a psychiatrist with all my knowledge on the mental disorders believe me!) so they just throw things where ever and let half filled drinks sit around, etc. This doesn't go down to smoothly with the dad. Ohh wait 1st lets just get to whats really pissing me off about my father right now. He has 7 broken ribs ok, a shattered leg, cuts and burns all over his body, and a lung that keeps deflating. Well he decides to be a hard ass and tell the doctor he is in NO PAIN! Umm no don't think so. So what do I have to do? I have to call the nurses. I have to tell them hes dying of pain. I have to make sure he calls the nurse every four hours for his double perc dosage. Now see in Trauma Shock ICU he had the morphine drip. Now if I was ever on a drip I would be pressing that button like there was no tomorrow. You are allowed to press the drip of glorious Morphine every 10 minutes. How many times do you think my dad pressed it? Yeah just go ahead and take a guess. 2 times a fucking hour!!! And he sits there and cries and moans. Umm hello! Soo annoying. Then he tells me Oxycontin was boring and didn't do much. Well of course you're not gonna get a party out of it dad! You're in traumatic pain. It's not be like on Intervention(that's exactly what he compared it to.) So okay blah blah he needs someone to sit there with him so he gets meds or he'll "forget or slip his mind".

Back to the OCD. He's a freak. So were in this new room where he could do stuff if he could move but he can't move so that's where I come in. Table set ups are very particular. Only 1 drink on the table. 3 bottles of Perrier and Pelligrino(he tried to order Perrier instead of still water when he was allowed to drink after his surgery and they looked at him like he was nuts so now I have to go get the Perrier and bring it to him), his sandwich and fruit all from whole foods(gosh forbid he take a break from his all organic diet), and his M&M's. Yep I said it....M&M's. 2nd table must have telephone, broken cell phone(just in case it decides to come back to life he said), chap stick, and hand sanitizer. Well when I get there that is not what the tables look like so I must rearrange them and I must do this fast cause I have other chores to attend to. Ohh and I don't know if you realized this yet but he seems to think he is at a 5 star hotel and is demanding like he is in one.

On top of this, due to old age and pain meds, he busts out stuff that he doesn't even know what he's talking about. Crazy man. So I did his nails, shaved his face, moisturized, and gave him a head massage with this dry shampoo cap(which is actually super cool. I'll try to steal one). But the best things he asked me to bring in today was his hand held mirror. Cause you know you got to look hot while not being able to move!!! And believe me he checked himself out a hell of a lot longer then I looked at myself in the mirror today. What a vain dad I have!

Everything MUST MUST MUST be in it's place! He even had the nerve to ask me if my car was clean! Hell no it's not clean. What did I turn into a different person overnight?? So here's the part where he really needs to learn how to suck it up. He's on like night 5 of the hospital. He's burning out real fast. Totally over it and the worst is he doesn't get to come home for like 6 weeks. too many broken ribs and a horribly broken/shattered/pinned and screwed up leg to move, so he's going straight to a rehabilitation facility. I feel absolutely horrible. And I know he is scared........BUT I think he must have forgotten one small factor in my life. UMM HELLO I LIVED IN A HOSPITAL FOR 2 WHOLE FUCKING MONTHS!!!! Which he always tells me "I don't know how you did that. I could have never done that." Well thanks Dad but it seems as though hospital karma is headed your way.

But all in all I love my Dad to itsy bitsy pieces and this is the 1st day I'm kept my calm. Thank you guys soo much for all your prayers. I am soo blessed and soo thankful to have my dad still here with me. Please keep praying. It means the world to us!

Sarah

p.s. PLEASE check out the freaky hospital bed and guy hahaha

My Only Goal Is Just To Be


With all that's going on these days I really didn't believe I could even think about writing but truthfully it's one of the only things I am thinking about so I'm just going to say F it and write! The escape of reality is needed.

Did any one thing change your life? Something you did, something you saw, something you experienced? I have two things that dramatically changed my life.......okay maybe 3.

The 1st being the 1st time I saw a musical. Okay that's a little lie because I did see Camelot when I was 5 or so, and it is a musical that I LOVE till this day and know all the songs off by heart, but at that time I hate to say it but I think I fell asleep. Oops. The second time I went I was around 7, 8 or 9 I believe. I saw The Phantom of the Opera. As soon as the orchestra began and the curtain rose I knew I would never be the same. The musical took over me in a way I can't describe. Those who are suckers for the stage know the feeling. Unexplainable. I was so deeply touched and affected by The Phantom that it became all I could think about. When not at school or an afterschool activity, I was up in my room practicing and portraying the role of Christine. I went on and grew but The Phantom of the Opera will always have a marking on my soul. I knew that's what I HAD to do. I later went on and performed and saw many musicals. They all touch me but there is one more that had a dramatic effect. RENT. I was obsessed with Rent when it 1st debuted in 1996. The kids that I went to school with and I just thought it was the best thing since ever. And it was in a way. I begged my dad to by me the music and it was a double disc CD so I had to do lot of extra chores haha! What I learned from learning that entire score set me up for life, gave me strength, and such ambition. We would always sing and sing and sing all the songs day after day. Finally in Spring of 1999 I was on my way to NYC for my 1st time with my Drama Club and we went to see RENT. It was all and more that I could have ever wished for. I don't know who has not been able to see the musical yet so I will not give away the plot but the life lessons it teaches are astounding. (DO NOT RENT THE MOVIE! YOU MUST SEE IT ON STAGE!)

My second life changing moment was when I began ballet full time after leaving figure skating. I don't know what happened but I LIVED for ballet. It took me somewhere else completely. I felt like nothing could ever be wrong. I became very competitive with myself. I had a purpose and that was to be perfect. I worked my ass off and did very well for myself. I was going to be a ballerina. That was that. And I truly do believe you know what you want to be at a very young age. I had a change of heart at 18. I never had a "real life" and wanted to know what it was all about. I abandon ballet, taking class only a few times a week. I REGRET THAT DECISION TILL THIS DAY. I just don't know how I could leave something that I knew I was born to do. I miss it more than anything. I loved ballet. I still love ballet. It's horrible knowing that you left the thing that you will always love the most.

I'm not going to go into three because I'm sure most of you know what it was and it's not that bright of a topic so we'll just let it be.

All I want to do is dance and I'm going to make sure that happens. I know being a ballerina is no longer in the books for me but I can still dance my little heart out.

So what has changed your life? Maybe a certain CD really hit you and got you thinking, maybe it was a sport you played and you can't get it out of your head? Whatever it may be use it to your advantage. These things don't make permanent markings on us for nothing. Think about it and run with it. You never know where it may lead you. It might lead you right back to where you should have been all along.

Something to think about now isn't it.....

Peace & Love

To Feel Your Pain, You Feel Mine


I deeply apologize for my absence but I have realized that it is going to be very hard for me to really keep up with my posts these couple months. I am traveling a ton and spending time with my wonderful friends which are more like family. I am also going through a terrifying motorcycle accident my dad was in which will leave him in the hospital and rehabilitation for the next 6-8 weeks. Writing is something I love and I think will be a great distraction from the very sad thoughts I am having but as of right now I can only talk to a couple of people and am emotionally and psyically exhausted. I am sorry and hopefully I can be back up and writing a ton very soon. To all my fans suffering from depression, anxiety, loss of a loved one, those that are in pain either emotionally or physically, and my ED girls; Keep your head up and keep pushing on. You are all in my prayers everyday. Please also keep my father and family in your prayers as well.

Peace & Love
S
