You Know You're A Single Girl When...

This is a first ever IHST recipe for the Single Girl. La Marb$ and I are not very kitchen savvy, we are working on this as we get older. One day, we had TV time and decided to make a meal and watch the new episode of Jersey Shore. So here is a step by step recipe to our meal...

Ingredients:

Top Ramen (whatever flavor you're into, we chose Oriental)
Sliced Cheese
Sliced Bread
Butter (or butter alternative)

So I was in charge of the Top Ramen situation, Marb$ and I don't like a lot of water/broth in our Top Ramen, just mainly a noodle situation. Boil the water, stick the noodles in, add the seasoning...you now have soup.
The next is the "grilled cheese sandwich" I use quotes because there was no grilling involved. (Marb$ created this quick sandwich feast). First, you toast some bread and then butter it up, then you take your toasted bread, stick some cheese in it, microwave to a bubbling perfection, and there you go. Lazy sandwich with no black burnt sides (that's what I do).

We sat with our quick single girl meals and had a great time with the Jersey Shore.

So there you go...we are in the works to develop a book deal with the Food Network's sister channel: How Lazy People Make Food on a Budget Network...

It's a Legitimate Question

I love google, I love all the choices it makes for me...especially trying to predict what I'm asking.

HATER JUEVES: Laker Fans

I missed Thursday's hate fest so I must do one early on this Friday morning...



I have such hate for Laker fans. Laker fans are so unoriginal and are digging the obvious. So many of them that actually live in LA or California are, for the most part, transplants that jump on the Hollywood-ness of being a Laker fan. And for those outside of LA, that live in...lets say...Oregon, are all about being Laker fans because they think it's hardcore and it's soooo much cooler to be a fan of a team that is housed in a state full of sunshine and an array of streetware. Well we have ridiculously amazing trees and fresh air.

It's even difficult for me to wear yellow and purple at the same time, which is crazy tough because those are 2 of my favorite colors. I'll root for whatever team is playing against the Lakers.


I'm not being a hater of the Lakers just because I'm a super fan of the Blazers...I like watching the Celtics and the Cavaliers and even the Knicks. I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my Laker fan hate, but that's what I'm here to do. Plus Kobe Bryant is ugly and he buys fat rings for his wife when he is accused of rape...
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

Happy Birthday Marb$!

Marb$ is 24 today!

I know how much you love cupcakes...that's your thing. Here is one I specially baked in order for it to be photographed *LIE*

Hope 24 is waaaaay better than 23 (I know my 24th year is going pretty bomb).

Here is to a new year of awesomeness and amazingness! CHEERS!

Nails of the week!

I've missed a few weeks of adding my nail art to the blog. But I'm back. Forgive the quality, these pictures are from my phone. I got this new blue nail polish. It's a fun vibrant blue, I luuuurve it. Also, just did some silver accents. I tried to do this look again but with different colors.

Life Unexpected

Liz Parker! You're back!

My sister recommended the new CW show Life Unexpected. There were a couple of episodes recorded on the DVR and I took advantage one day and watched them back to back.

The show already has one major plus, it takes place in Portland. It's fun to see city shots incorporated in the show. Even though they film the show in Canada they do a good job making it look like Portland.

The show is about a young 15 year old girl who has been in foster care her whole life and when she decides to take control and become emancipated she needs the signature of her birth parents. Her birth mom (Shiri Appleby...forever Liz Parker) gave her up for adoption when she was a baby (she never was adopted because of health issues), and her birth father was just a guy her mom was with for only a time in high school. In the first episode they reconnect and lives change.
The show is entertaining and isn't super cheesy like a 7th Heaven. I approve, I think it's sweet. Yes, I said sweet.

Distraction of the show? The the girl who plays Lux (the girl in foster care) reminds me so much of Rita from Dexter (or if you're a Roswell nerd like me: Ms. Topolsky).

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2010

Jean Paul Gaultier decided it'd be okay to appropriate Mexican culture for his Spring 2010 Couture Collection. Even Style.com thought Señor Gaultier went a little to far trying to place a theme on his show. Not so much because he was being a conquistador and taking the culture, but because he always tries to do something so big and elaborate. I went through the entire collection and it just felt like it was La India Maria in haute couture form. He had rebozos, "Aztec-inspired" items, and charro-type head pieces. He even had one of his models lip-synch to Carmen Miranda as he came out at the end. Pendejo, she was Brazilian! What does she have to do with mariachi bands and Mexico? It's one thing to be  "inspired" and one thing to take from the culture and not know anything about it. Don't try to interpret something you don't understand, Gaultier! Quit trying to make my people exotic and "othering" them, jerk.

I Want This Bag...

I need a new life bag in my vida. I'm always out and about and need a million things throughout the day therefore I need a nice looking bag rather than a serial killer duffle bag. I saw this and fell in amor. It's from Urban Outfitters. If you buy it for me I'll call you my friend for 24 hours.
