a fat cow?

the entire world is talking about jessica simpson weight these days. but is it just me or does she look fine....maybe even healthy. Don't get me wrong i totally hate the bitch, i think she's totally talentless but can't we be making fun of her for that instead of her weight.


Care to read on......Here's the full story at the Daily Mail

Teeny bopper mania

As i was wondering through youtube trying to find the new episode of skins (which i found and it was amazing!) I came across this video......




it's a little sleezy and a little raunchy and I'm dying laughing right now! why is it that every actor out there thinks they can sing?
keep your day job sweetheart.

I feel like shopping...

At Topshop.

With Mari.

But since I'm not near a Topshop and I'm definately not near Mari, I'll have to do my window shopping from afar behind a computer screen....alone.

So let's go!

I love, love, love this dress. From the color to the draping, it's a great dressy, but still kind of casual dress. It reminds me a lot of something that Rami would have done in Season 4 of Project Runway. As sick of him as I got...and as much as I loved Christian, this dress is fierce. The draping thing works. Not to mention 35 pounds really isn't bad for a cute dress like this.

Here's another super cute draped dress. Usually, I hate purple, but this one is close enough to blue, that I honestly like it...and only 38 pounds.

Oh and just to note it...the whole draping thing that is FINALLY catching on in the States was going on way back when Mari and I were studying in London. I bought this super cute top on clearance at Urban Outfitters in London that I still wear to this day. It's black, simple and draped, but super cute.

...Wellies are finally catching on over here too. That took another...oh...two years. And those shirts with the huge letters saying ironic things on them that were a hit last year? Totally a hit in London a year before. (Catching my trend here?)

More draping. I heart everything about this top. From the draping to the detail in the stitching to the chain straps. Cute, cute, cute...and only 28 pounds!

I love, love, love this wrap top. Not only is it only 20 pounds, it's one of my favorite shades of blue. This would be super cute with a skirt to wear to work or out to lunch.

I love the whole trench coat revival. And at 75 pounds, this one is a fresh take on an awesome style of coat. Simple and clean. It doesn't have some obnoxious pattern or disgusting color to off set an entire outfit.

Um. I'm pretty sure that if you could fall in love with a pair of shoes, this would be the pair that I would fall in love with. I love super cute heels. I also love red shoes. At 55 pounds, they'd be a pay day splurge...but totally worth it, rite?

They also have these in white. And they're just as cute...maybe not fall in love cute, but damn close.

So after my online massive window shopping, I've saved myself 251 pounds...which is over 500 dollars. So maybe shopping online like this is a good idea.

Unless I find myself in London editing some glossy celebrity magazine.

Or married to a pretty British boy who looks like Christian Bale...

But until then, I've got my window shopping.

Thank God.

Allow me to introduce you to...

Coupling

Mari's all in the know-how about British television shows and movies...and while my tastes tend to stick to darker American shows ('Nip/Tuck' and 'Dexter' and 'CSI' {RIP GRISSOM}), I am absolutely, positively one hundred percent in love with 'Coupling.'

The show, which has been called a British version of friends can be compared to the hit US comedy...but takes it eight steps further with it's over the top raunchy comedy. A series about sex and six friends, it's amazing.

My favorite character, by far, is Jeff. When he left the show after the 3rd season, it wasn't the same. So instead, I have my favorite clips on YouTube. Like the one below.



I also like the one where he talks about keeping a bucket full of women's ears.

Some more favorite clips. Enjoy...and if you like it, be sure to watch it online!!!...not that anyone really does that...bad kids...

((Okay, so I'm guilty of it too.))

Skins

I would like to introduce you to Skins. This show is simply amazing. It follows the lives of teenagers in Bristol and it covers everything from drugs to parties to sex to exams. Right now the third series is about to start but if you haven't seen the first two series i recommend watching them first.
Need further convincing here's the preview trailer for the first series.

a kick ass introduction from Mari

so my first post on the new blog....wow this is a lot of pressure.

I'm going to start with an introduction......

So this is me. Nice pic right! ha i get way too excited about positively everything. I tell ridiculous stories about the south and I have this weirdly huge crush on Daniel Craig. Who i know is like 40 but damn i will one day kidnap his hot ass. I also have a huge crush on my politics teacher. One day he will leave his wife and I will so be there. I think fruit roll ups are the best invention of all time - screw the light bulb. I grew up in the south.... but i hate living there. I will one day have a permanent residence in Europe - preferably London. So this is the gist. if you decide to keep reading you'll get the idea of who i am.

This is julie. she is one of my most favorite people in the world. I met julie when i was in London and redheaded. the first time i saw her she was crying. I can't make fun... hell i was crying about an hour later. I love her dark sense of humor and her Helen Keller jokes. (I still think the abortion song should be sung and put on YouTube!!!) She's the all time best drinking buddy, even though we usually blackout halfway through the night. She shares my love of Bam and totally understands what Dusan Mandic means. She's the only one I'll share my music list with. She's my Yankee friend and She's the coolest person I know.

This is me and Julie. we tend to make weird faces at cameras.

So for the love of Alfred sit back and relax because you are about tho witness the awesomeness of awesomeness in the blog world. This is going to be Legend...wait for it...ary!
