It's Okay Sarah


Last night while I was strenuously working out at the gym, CNN (oh, just my favorite channel to watch) came on and was reporting the scandalous story about the Republican National Committee that spent more than $150,000 on her clothes and make up. And then, the other TV had Access Hollywood on with the same story. It is so annoying to hear these dumb, worthless issues broadcast all over TV. There are images of shoes, jackets, suits - I mean look at Hillary Clinton, her suits are an array of every color! People should just really focus on the campaign and less on the BS.

Here is my issue about her clothing...the woman has got to look good! Like seriously, are you going to put the possible VP of the USA in some scrappy clothes? Um, yeah, I don't think so. She is the underdog and taking on something new is challenging, especially for the fact that she is a woman. I am proud that she gave it what she could, even if she came across a little "out there." It is funny that CNN also tried to make her look dumber during an interview this week. Hm. That's just my 2 cents.

This is Getting RIDIC


This cute little sugar pie from Florida was called racist by her 7th grade classmates for wearing a McCain/Palin shirt says Fox News! WHAT!! This poor 12 year-old cutie :( See, this is what makes me a little MAD about OBAMA supporters. I'm scared to put a NOBAMA sticker on my car because I feel like it will get beaten with bats! These people are crazier than the Red Neck Republicans down south! I think that parents need to show their children all sides before just planting them with their own beliefs. So what if this sugar-bee likes McCain and Palin? Another example of this was an inner-city school that displayed Obama advertisements above where the children entered school, and the teachers also passed out Obama buttons. OKAY WAIT - these are young kids, and I understand teachers play a role in shaping their minds, but don't force politics on them! LET THEM SEE BOTH SIDES. GAAAH people these days. I am going to start forcing Britney Spears on everyone and see how they like it. And then repeat Fran Drescher's laugh over and over and over and over.

OHHH MAH, Adult Swim Makes Shoes?

Yah Yah, all you Adult Swim nerds can not only watch and drool over your fav shows, but now you can wear them. Woooooo Hooo!! Aqua Teen Hunger Force time! I actually thought these shoes were dope, so I had to share this with everyone - the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Ignigknot Etnies Shoes. Cool to all you Adult Swim junkies. Live on...ariba. areeba? aryyba?

I just hope they don't come out with a Family Guy shoe - now that would be a little over doing it.

Lyrics that made me Melt


During my morning coffee before I started work, I sat down and read Paste Magazine. Every issue they include sample CDs, so as usual, I popped it in my lap top and listened to every song. I was not totally impressed with the CD until track 16 came on. It came on while I was in the middle of working on a project and I just stopped everything and melted to the lyrics, acoustic feel and incredibly hot, seductive voice of Matt Hires. He is such an incredible artist from Tampa, FL. I HIGHLY suggest listening to this if you love acoustic music. I can totally see this song, "Honey let Me Sing You a Song" appearing in movies and TV shows. Gaaaaah this dudes amazing. Maybe I'll have him play at my wedding...if I ever have one, or ask him to come over....and sing to...me.....
I'm still listening to it. Matt, hey Matt, if you're out there, you're on repeat.

The Raddest Little Thang On Your Wrist



Oh baby look at this nice representation of the 80's - my prime years. I cannot get enough of Freestyle's Shark Cyan watch. For $55 bucks this baby lasts a lifetime. I recently bought one for surfing because not only is this watch hot, but it is waterproof, snow proof, beer proof, you name it and it's proof. I love this thang and it gets more attention than my, well, yeah....

They come in many colors. Check them out at www.freestyleusa.com

The company even sent me 2 free shirts and stickers. Whoa man, nice. Surf's up and leg warmers on.

Palin's Approved


Okay, Sarah Palin did not come out of the woods. If all you avid Vogue readers will recall, they had a Democratic and Republican spread in the Feb. 2008 issue. Here, Palin is revealed. Although people may not take her seriously, I think she is doing a damn good job keeping her cool and being herself, even though many will claim she is inexperienced. However, I admire smart, determined women who can get up on stage and take the heat of pissed off, rude people. Check out the zinger below.

Oh, and one more thing that makes me a little upset and mad at liberals is the fact when I am walking around (giving an example when I was in California recently, which is a VERY liberal state) with a McCain sticker on, people were actually yelling at me. I don't disregard any Obama supporters - I respect their opinions and beliefs. I thought California was a free speech state, yeah man, speak your mind. Guess I was wrong. Palin's got my vote.

California Chronicles: Paul Frank RX


Very hot on the streets of San Francisco, these Paul Frank glasses are called 'Beat Poet Holiday' and are the best things I have ever tried on.

California Chronicles: Wine Country

QUINTESSA ROCKED.
great wine, great service, vip tour from Darin, stunning facility


GRAPES
darin's showing me grapes


MUMM WASN'T SO COOL, BUT PRETTY.
bad service and the chick never really explained the wines and sparkling champagne, then left and we had to get service from another server, who then explained the NEW sparkling red champagne you can only buy at Mumm.


PARADUXX WAS COOL.
awesome descriptions of wines and beautiful facilities.



Duh - Go to Cali and not visit wine country? Please. It was the best ever - especially if you know someone who works in the industry. Winery's will either give you a discount or complimentary industry tours and free wine tasting. We took advantage of this. We found in our travels that the best places were Paraduxx and Quintessa. Mumm's was horrible service, although they have a great new sparking red champagne that was to die for. Tastings can run from $20 to over $100 - depending on what winery you visit.




California Chronicles: Graffiti






Ever going to visit San Francisco? If you do and don't want to look like a tourist, wonder over to Haight Street, where all the ex-hippies and Grateful Dead heads lives (you can even visit their homes - Joplin, Grateful Dead, Hendrix, etc). The area has awesome stores like True, Stussy and other urban street wear for your closet. Just be nice to the bums - one whipped out an iPhone on us.
Oh and avoid the Tenderloin district. Sketcccccchy (Jones St. that is), unless you want to buy crack at 1 in the afternoon from a man in a wheelchair.

Would you rather cook a meal or share your meal?


Cali Chronicles: This Man


Driving through the streets of San Francisco - where UC of Berkley is - we came across this homeless man that totally wins for the most fashionable bum I have ever seen. Like seriously, look at his coat, then look at the impeccable red undershirt that matches his awesome red hat. Must have picked through some nice clothes on his way to work on the streets. Next he needs some dentures.
