i'm just that into this pantsuit


as someone who has to wear pant suits nearly every day
and someone who loves almost everything jennifer aniston
it's really no shocker that i'm obsessed with her outfit from the
he's just not that into you premiere.
and since its burberry, it would only cost my whole year's salary!

st. elmo's fire



The other night i decided to take a study break and watch st. elmo's fire (by decided, i mean i realized it was already one day overdue, but i really wanted to watch it soo...). the opening scene has ally sheedy, hands down my favorite actress from 80's, wearing what can only be described is one of the most hideous outfits ever. it is the one seen in this picture, (and if you don't know ally sheedy, shame on you. go rent the breakfast club. she's the one that is not molly ringwald. and if you don't know who molly is either, well you might as well just give up...). I can only thank the fashion gods that be that these floppy tie things for women that ally is wearing are no long in vogue...hideous.

but all in all, my review of st. elmo's fire is, catch it on tv if you can. this is not breakfast club/sixteen candles/pretty in pink quality. but a great cast...still fun to watch.

ps. where is ally?

Indiana Jones is My Type of Man

1) I find someecards.com to deliver some of the best entertainment and online e-cards in the entire world. i find them entirely inappropriate, which means of course I find them hilarious. goodness.

2) this someecard did not let me down. hilarious. it also goes along w/ my mood that is excited for the new indiana jones movie to come out. i think harrison ford was probably my third crush in my lifetime, a crush that has never dwindled, after watching these movies. the crush only increased when he was in the fugitive. my first crush was george clooney (and that one hasn't disappeared either) as the loveable neighbor boy from "the facts of life." my second crush will not be named, but i will give you several hints such as a couple of years ago he went on an anti-semitic tirade. further, he recently let ms. britney spears spend some time at his costa rican hideaway. if you can't guess from those clues, well i'm glad you can block those things out.

i think though if you look at that pattern of crushes (and then look at the majority of the men i've had crushes after) i really have a thing for manly men, with a penchant for danger, who are rather cocky individuals. the sensitive types just didn't really do it for me from the age of 5 until 15 and then 22 to now. of course there is a 7 year gap. you can fill those in with crushes of men, such as rider strong, river phoenix, ethan hawke, dave pirner, etc. these are the "in-touch with their emotions" kind of guy who want to read you poetry. yuck. we call those the "lost years." all those manly crushes i missed out on....

and if you're still confused about the type of guy i like, i will put it in sex and the city terms (since i am currently attempting to watch the whole series prior to seeing the movie so i think in sex and the city terms). i'm a "mr. big" type of girl, not an "aiden" type. yum yum!

Mr. Big: You know, I don't live here anymore and the Plaza won't check you in until 1.
Carrie: Oh, you wanna come up?
Mr. Big: Abso-fucking-lutely.
