What a great day. Seriously fabulous! I went shopping this morning with Mia again. I wanted something to wear that would work for the PI party at Atlanta and my editor appointment which is immediately following the lunch. I grabbed about 15 dresses, tried them all on, and found the one. You know what I’m talking about. The dress that makes you look 50% skinnier, big boobs, and just feminine and sexy. So I walk back out to pay, and apparently my dress was the only dress not on 40% off. ACK! So I bent over, grabbed ankles, and, yeah you get the point. But I love it and will wear it to the Seattle conference in October too. Oh! Plus the sales lady said she thought I was 22! Woo whoo! almost 8 years off my age!
I just got back from seeing the movie The Devil Wears Prada. And I swear to God every teenaged girl in that movie (and the place was loaded with them) walked out with an eating disorder. The movie kept reiterating how size 6 was fat. And size 0 was the new size 2, and size 6 was the new 14. And the fact that they tried to pass Ann Hathaway off as a size 6 was just comical. Sorry, not buying it. But the movie was somewhat entertaining, though incredibly predictable. And I found myself almost wishing my fat arse could fit into the couture of fashion. Of course then I’d have to be able to actually afford it. I’d probably give this movie a 3.5 or 4 on a scale of 1-5, 5 being best. More of a renter.
I’ll be gone all day tomorrow! So if I blog it won’t be until later at night. I’m heading to Whidbey Island to hang with family and friends. Fun, fun!
Okay, my picture of the day was too irresistible. I’m sure most of you have already seen it, it was in the news. But here it is along with a blurb.
Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass lightbulb in his anus…. The doctor treating Mohammad said he’d never encountered anything like it before, and doubted the felon’s story that someone had drugged him and inserted the bulb while he was comatose.
ack…I really hate that when movies warp little minds that way. seriously, I remember at 12, most especially 14..I had severe identity issues.
It’s hard to try and fit in and know that sometimes no matter how much you try, your little latina body is not going to look all long and slim like those american california girl types. I had a ass damn it and no matter how much I went to the gym that bastard wasn’t going anywhere. LOL.
Now though I rather like my junk..thank you very much.
I probably see the movie, but like you suggested, I’ll likely wait to get it on dvd.
and cool job on finding your dress! yay, how exciting.
This was supposed to be in your comments yesterday but my internet went down.
I am really trying not to laugh, but my first reaction when I saw the picture was holy crap! Can you imagine? How big of a cosmic f*ck you would that be? Not only do I lose my fricking house in a storm but now I have a fricking shark stalking me?
Atlanta. Are you excited? Oh my lanta! I am sooooooooo excited! I can’t wait to go sight seeing Wednesday! I can’t wait to go to the PI Party! I can’t wait to see all the Divas! Sheesh! This is going to be a vacation to remember. My goal is to get in at least ONE (roflmao) workshop. Yes, I did mean to type one.
Doesn’t Johnny Depp have a gorgeous Pirate’s Booty?
As for the EC sub, what’s the worse they can say? No? We’re writers and not even a bit afraid of that stinkin word! So you go Shelli! You submit your submission and dare them to say no! I am writer hear me roar. (LMAO! I’m sorry. I seriously had too much diet Pepsi today. And Taco Bell.)
Congrats on finding a dress! I have no idea what I am going to wear to the PI party. I haven’t started to panick, yet. I went to like 3 stores today and found nada! Wah! I have a shopping appointment with my oldest sister next Saturday. It’s probably gonna be an all day thing! That girl can shop with the best of them!
I have to stop looking at the pictures before I read your post. I couldnt stop looking at this one. My goodness, the things people will put in their orifices!
Yikes! What a picture.
I’m so sick of all the movies and such that circle around how skinny you must be. Get a grip!
I have yet to see that picture. Holy crap! Love how he tried to pass it off as happening when he was drugged. Yeah right!
Glad you found a dress. Nice she thought you were only 22. Love it when stuff like that happens.
The book The Devil Wears Prada was wonderful. I read that thing fast fast. But the movie? I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed. Though Meryl Streep looks awesome as the wicked editor. I think I’ll wait for the DVD.
I realise why he put it up his ass, but a lightbulb? Good grief!
:o)
Oh LOL on the picture. So glad you got to go to the movie. Good luck on your review next Tuesday.
Man, I’m being wayyyyyy too nice.
