Bitches get shit done!!!!

Watch this all the way through.

I would like to point out that this is what I have been saying this whole time!!!

I think I am psychic

No really. Everytime I think to myself "Hmm, it's about time that I get a new light bulb" The very next day that light burns out. This is NOT the first time, it is about the 5th. *sigh*

Sex & the City

While my dog Chico recovers from my insanly high pitched scream of joy... I leave you with the new and extended trailer to the movie.

Can't. Freaking. Wait.

FIERCE!

Personally I loath reality shows, I hope this doesn’t sound condescending, but in my own opinion it is utter CRAP. I enjoy plot, witty dialogue, characters, and entertainment that is more than just sticking a camera into the lives of rich housewives in California, or trying to get some poor pathetic woman to hook up with Flavor Flav. Reality shows to me are just the exploitation of the “rubber necking syndrome” people tend to have. You know, when driving past an accident (no matter how minor or gruesome) people slow their cars down and stare. To me this is reality television, it is playing upon people’s tendencies to do this and it’s also a lazy way networks get ratings.

Can I just say hallelujah & amen to the writer’s strike finally being over!!

So with that being said, I was really surprised when Project Runway became a weekly ritual for me in its first season. I mean it is a reality show…however; it’s not really banking on cat fights and drama, as it is the creative genius in young designers. Yes I know the fashion world sniffs down its perfect nose job on this show, but come on! Even the people in the fashion world have taken notice; I mean ROBERTO fucking CAVALLI was on just the other week!! Over the past couple of seasons I have come to love some great and creative designers on that show, but none have made me fall in love the way Christian Siriano has! This man is soooo FIERCE!

No really, he has MADE season 4 for me! He is so talented and innovative with his creations, and at the same time he is like this petite size diva of fierceness!!! I leave you with this youtube video. Watch and see.

FEROSH!

My Review for Lipstick Jungle on NBC

So I watched the much talked about and hyped show "Lipstick Jungle" tonight. I allowed myself to overcome the horrible and clichéd name (really, they can't help it, it was the book title) and sat down to watch the "best thing to hit TV since Carrie and Mr. Big left". Right.

I am a huge Sex and the City fan, it was a smart, witty, and memorable show which kept not only female friendships realistic, but also the secret conversation we tend to have among friends about men, relationships, and sex. I braced myself to watch "Lipstick Jungle" and not compare it to the HBO counterpart. I really, really, really wanted to like the show...

I did not.

It was so boring and unrealistic. I found myself squirming in my chair from the less then clever dialogue and looking at the clock to see when the show was going to end. The characters were not that likeable and not once did I laugh or at least smirk.

Thank God the writer’s strike is said to be ending soon, because seriously, this was absolute crap.

Back to watching my Sex & the City DVD's for when I need a fix of some smart, witty, sexy, likeable female show.

My frustration with Complacency

Ok. So I think it is GREAT that my generation is stepping up and becoming very politically involved in this election. It is about damn time that we say enough is enough! Eight years of an administration that has messed up in astronomical ways seems to have finally gotten the attention of an otherwise indifferent youth.

I guess it took invading the wrong country, the administration giving the finger to the lower income population in times of great need (Katrina) , a trillion dollar war debt we will be paying well into our retirement ages, a bill which otherwise tramples our constitutional rights (Patriot Act), a CIA leak which put the lives of agents in peril because people spoke out against the administration’s blatant bullying tactics regarding Iraq (btw it is NOT pronounced I Rack, it is pronounced E Rock), an immigration policy which is a complete joke, and various other blunders which will be affecting this country in negative ways for years to come.

Ok, so I digress. I think it is great everyone is becoming politically involved, however, when did it become okay to vote for a candidate who will basically lead this country for the next four years because of their gender, skin color, or likeability? Did we not learn from Bush that just because you “want to have a beer with them” does NOT mean they can run this country efficiently?!?!

And as for gender and race, I am SO tired of seeing stupid idiotic comments like “If you’re voting for Hillary you’re really not black” or “If you’re voting for Hillary you’re really not Latino.” Or “If you’re voting for Obama you don’t care about women’s issues.” These narrow minded comments are everywhere and I have been very disappointed seeing them in not only young new voters, but even more experienced voters (and leaders within their respective communities who you would think would be a little more open-minded.) how is it acceptable that a candidate can get your very coveted vote merely because of their race or gender?

I have been very open and passionate about who I support to be the next President, and I want to make it clear that this rant is not an attempt to sway your vote to my preferred candidate, this is my attempt to tell you to research the facts, look at the voting history, and support someone who has fought for the issues you feel are important! I am sick of turning on CNN or MSNBC and hearing about who “gets the ___ vote” (insert Latino, Black, or Women in the blank), why is that acceptable, and why are we allowing the media to not only pigeon hole us but also make this very important presidential election into a race war?

We have to do better than this! Don’t support someone because you feel like you have to, support someone who you know will fight for the issues you feel are important. I am tired of having discussions with people who know absolutely nothing about their candidate but will vote for them because it is “trendy.”

Yes it is important to vote, but what is more important and crucial is to be an educated voter. It really does not take that much effort to look up their voting records, financial contributions or their stances on key issues. It’s called GOOGLE people…and it’s free.

I don’t want to sound annoying but I really want to stress the point that never should a candidate assume that they will get the vote of a whole racial group or gender because of what they are. They get votes for fighting, voting, and believing in issues.

As I jump off my soap box I just want to encourage everyone to have an open mind and be informed.
