Now For The Explanation

April 27th, 2008

I’m sure many of you are wondering what the hell a balloon couture fashion show is. Dan and I went to a party last night filled with pretty people and great techno and expensive drinks. It’s not the type of thing that either of us often has the time, money or energy for, but it was a ton of fun. And, it featured a fashion show where the outfits were made almost entirely out of balloons. I was pretty impressed by some of the things the designer came up with. Here are some of my favorite pictures of the evening (if you’re not sure what any of them are, just hover over the photo for a caption):

You may notice I’m trying to create a bookshelf-type sidebar for this blog. The one currently up seems slow and awkward and it’s not quite working correctly. But I have to get dressed for a balloon couture fashion show (will explain another time) so for the time being let me know what you think, and I will keep searching for a better option.

UPDATE: Okay, I think I’ve found something that will work.  It’s not quite everything I had hoped for, but it’ll do for now.

Who Am I To Argue With Demands?

I bought a new dresser!  Original price: $700.  Clearance price: $400.  Price I paid: $200.

To give you a sense of size, the full-length mirror to the right of the dresser is five feet tall.

I am in love.

WANT

Okay, okay… I know I’m supposed to be saving my money for moving (because it apparently costs approximately 35% of your soul to sign an apartment lease), but how much do I need this chair?

Drooooooool

Right now, envisioning all the exquisitely comfortable hours I could spend reading in this chair is completely occluding the $800 price tag. I’ll give it a few days and see how I feel.

UPDATE: Crap, I just bought the chair.  I don’t think I even made it 24 hours.  But when I saw that it was on sale AND it had free shipping, my willpower was demolished.  I hope it’s as awesome as it looks!

Would you believe me if I told you it was 81 degrees yesterday?

Sorry about crappy cell phone camera quality, but you get the idea.  Colorado weather is so weird.

Bringing You The Best In Horny Girl Porn

April 13th, 2008

In response to Corley’s post on Google analytics:
I think I wrote a year or two ago about how when I chose the internet pseudonym “fille chaude,” I was a second-year French student who was under the impression that it vaguely translated to “hot girl,” and how I found out from a college French teacher that it more accurately translates to “horny girl.” Which is not entirely inaccurate.

But it makes for some very funny search strings. I’d say at least 75% of the random strangers who visit this blog are coming from search strings that translate into the fact that they were looking for some kind of pornography. Here are some of my top search strings:

  • horny girl
  • horny college girls
  • horny babysitter
  • horny girl photos
  • piss girl
  • horny girls from Paris
  • horny party girl

You get the idea. Well, I guess it brings me more traffic!

PS - Corley, I use StatCounter and SiteMeter and am quite happy with them.

Worst. News. Ever.

April 13th, 2008

When your boss’s first words of the day are, “You’re probably going to hate this, but…” you know it’s not going to be the best day of your life.  Well, I suppose if you’re even at work it’s probably not going to be the best day of your life, but those words automatically make the day not as good as it could have been.

I routinely wear four-inch heels to work.  In fact, one of my favorite things about my job is all the super-cute secretary clothes I get to wear.  I’ve always wanted an office job for that exact reason.  Well, apparently my boss thinks heels are not the most appropriate footwear and pencil skirts are not the most appropriate leg-wear in which to teach exercises to the patients.  And she’s right.  But instead of just asking me to wear something more functional during my aide hours, she has announced that I will be required to wear scrubs.  It’s like she took into account my love of fashion and thought to herself, “What would be the least cute and least figure-flattering thing I could make her wear?” and a dim little light bulb went off above her head.

Not to mention the fact that in order to purchase two weeks’ worth of scrubs (which I think is probably an appropriate number), it will cost me over $200.  Not to mention the ugly footwear I will undoubtedly be required to purchase, as well.  My coworkers think the boss should pay for it.  Anyone else been in a situation like this?  Did your boss pay for the uniforms you were required to wear?
