my birthday wish list

I MUST have these Omelle shoes.  They’re half off!  Won’t someone think of me?

And an updated bag, too.  Thank you.  :)

and so it begins

here comes Alice…

Hot Topic launched Alice merchandise in store and on their website right after Thanksgiving, and their assortment is ever-expanding leading up to the film’s release.

OPI nail lacquer developed a line of polishes inspired by the film with whimsical names: Mad as a Hatter (a silvery, sparkly polish), Absolutely Alice (a blue glittery, sparkly polish), Off With Her Red! (a flat red color, orange-toned), Thanks So Muchness (a pretty shimmery red).

Urban Decay has a color palette also with “topsy-turvy” names for their colors.  There’s 16 colors, 2 eyeliners, and a small version of their Primer Potion (I have the Sin version; I think I must be over-applying it because it looks pretty heavy on me).  Comes in a cool box that includes a pop-up scene from the film and mirror (yay for traveling!).

I cannot wait for this movie to come out!

if only i could draft such things

So Conan O’Brien issued a wonderfully drafted letter in response to NBC essentially screwing him over.  Oh, how the mighty have fallen; how long ago was NBC on top with shows like Friends and Seinfeld?  Maybe they should think about bringing over the Real Housewives from Bravo to boost ratings.  Those New Jersey housewives are AWESOME!

Jina at tiny sparkly things gave me a fantastic idea for a recurring post - things that I am not.  I think that’s pretty self explanatory.  So, to kick it off, what spurred the conversation:

“Jina, I am not about fruit snacks.”

ZOMG HILARITY

You gotta read this twitter site: http://twitter.com/shitmydadsays.  It’s freakin’ hilarious.

eccentricity

I love Hello Kitty.  I love Lady Gaga and her eccentricities.  So what do you get when you merge the two?  A fabulous photoshoot with Markus Klinko and Indrani.  Here’s the source for more.

HOLY CRAP

Re-boot re-booted.  I loved this show on Saturday morning ABC!


Yikes

It’s all over WWD and the fashion blogs - not sure what to make of Emanuel Ungaro’s Spring 2010 line, the first from a collaboration between Lindsay Lohan and Estrella Archs (probably the one who actually designed the line).  I find it to be uninspiring, don’t get the paper glitter hearts, and are all their models supposed to look like aliens?  I think it’s funny that Estrella Archs talks about the it’s important that the woman “feels well” in these clothes, but I suppose that would be true if you were a size -2.  *shrug*

The Art of the Disney Princess

Posted by that girl [blue] pearl | nerd alert | Monday 5 October 2009 1:12 am

Disney cast a wide net and asked their artists for their interpretations of the Disney Princesses.  What resulted is an eclectic collection of unique takes on classics.  Check out this article from examiner.com.  Here are some my pix:
     

The book releases on Tuesday, October 6.  You can pre-order and buy from Amazon.
