just another day at the office (a la tootsy)

reason #22 why tootsy is the coolest dog ever.

this is her daily routine- BEWARE mailmen of pittsburgh. other than that, she just lays around all day and gets massages and treats from my mom.

without any further ado...

THE TOOTSINATOR.

because today i feel it in the air.

i want to see this movie like no other. mainly because life is perceived through instances of song and dance + i <3 zooey deschanel.



may you come soon july 17th! we are all in need of hope to get us through this endless cold weather.

champagne wishes and california dreams

all these false starts to spring and gloomy weather, all i can think about is 10 sunny days on the west coast.

2 nice thoughts to leave you with.

i heard there was something sexy going on in soho.

guess how much the skirt is and win a date with *~*

after a much delayed opening (hello to the lies of march 2008), topshop's first location in the us was unveiled last week right here in new yawk citay.

i was v excited to experience what i thought would be the britain's fashion mecca in the states. le topshop had so much promise, so much grandeur. i had seen necklaces of birds in cages, fun shoes for all seasons, and unique outfits screaming "envy me." oh my!

but what i felt upon scouting the merchandise and price checking can only be equated to the moment i discovered tiger woods married another woman: pure, utter, traumatizing, and severe disappointment.

as a violently thrifty person (my inner chinese coming out), it shocked me to see $200+ tags on cheaply made dresses designed by a cokehead.

with the urging of a mister s. frommer to visit the men's section for some "eye candy," i was surprised to see their much more appealing than the women's. males of america: there is hope for you!

after analyzing the situation, i came to a few conclusions:

a.) topshop usa is no more than a glorified h&m.
b.) the music selection could be improved.
c.) i am over it.

and with that i trotted over to west broadway and blew far too much money at anthropologie, home of real unattainable fashion.

i spy a full moon tonight.

and with it came
her mighty might.
listening to muzack and quoting songs
that shameless thursday
OH
wrong, wrong, wrong.

101 of 200 sleepless knights.

Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart, changing woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone, when a dancer becomes a dance

It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

oo la la!

and new york, i hate you more than ever!
