Don't Call It A Comeback

Unfortunately J.Lo's performance of "Louboutins" at the AMA's was wack and she fell. Call me crazy, but I thought she would wear Louboutins since that's the name of her song. But instead, she wore hightop glitter keds. Well, that's what I'm calling them and I'm being generous and I refuse to post a photo. It appears she decided to save her Bridget Peep Toe Louboutin Boots for rehearsal??? She also rocked the boots for her video "Fresh Out the Oven." What do you think...Yah or Nay. Because I like J. Lo, I'm going to charge a 'yah' to the game!




A few celebs have been seen out and about wearing their Bridget Louboutin Boots...

Key to My Heart

I've found the key to my heart!!! I know it's totally backwards for a female to state this but I'm certain that my heart requires a Tiffany & Co. key.

The Tiffany Keys Collection launched in February 2009 and is inspired by keys from the Tiffany & Co. Archives. These exquisitely crafted vintage keys unlocked jewelry and keepsake boxes, albums, diaries and steamer trunks, as well as a recent addition-my heart! The keys range in price from $225 to $17K.



For a more affordable and antiqued key necklace, the handmade Simple Skeleton Key necklace by Erica Weiner is the way to go. Each key is different and may date back to 1850. While the Tiffany & Co. keys are beautiful luxury items, I think Erica Weiner's keys are more unique and obviously easier on the wallet at $30.

Recently a co-worker asked me for gift ideas. I think it would be a great gift to purchase a keepsake box for a loved one, fill it with memories and make a necklace out of the key.

Louboutins and J.Lo

Jennifer Lopez aka J.Lo, first single has leaked, "Louboutins," from her upcoming album "Love?" She is scheduled to perform the song tonight on the American Music Awards. I love my Louboutins, but this song makes me want to bypass the tan boxes my Louboutins are resting in and pick up some Dr. Scholls off my closet floor!!!! Maybe I will be swayed after seeing her perform the song live tonight. Do you love it.....Yah or Nay?

Relax, Relate, Release...It's Friday

In the words and southern drawl of Whitley Gilbert from A Different World, 'relax, relate, release'- it's Friday! My all time favorite sitcoms were birthed in the 80's-The Cosby Show, A Different World and Golden Girls. As the ol' folks say, 'they just don't make um like they use too.' NBC was the place to be....Thursday night was Cosby at 8 and A Different World at 8:30. Saturday night was Golden Girls.

A Different World was the first and maybe the only sitcom that highlighted student life at a historically black college- Hillman. Remember The Pit?? The show also tackled political and social issues that were rarely discussed on other comedy sitcoms- AIDS, rape, race, social classes, etc. It's so hard to pick a favorite episode because they all were so good. The show was embedded with culture, fashion, history, music and a message!

All 6 seasons of A Different World are now available on DVD. This would make an excellent Christmas gift. What's your favorite 80's sitcom??

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Few words are needed for this post. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show went down last night in NYC. I do need to briefly discuss Heidi Klum....Where in the hell does her baby weight go?


The famous $3 million bra. Undecided about adding it to my Christmas list.

I'm in Love......

I'm in love with a fictional character who happens to be a vampire! I didn't think it could happen to me. I heard stories of women falling victim but I thought I was different, much stronger. If you are a Twilight fan there is no explanation needed. If you aren't, you're missing out.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is in theaters on Friday. I'll probably just skip work tomorrow to see it, wear my vampire teeth and my 'I heart Vampires' bedazzled, puffpaint shirt. Nothing too fancy. I think I'll also bring my New Moon book with my Snuggie light so that I can follow the movie chapter by chapter. Just keeping it chill and classy!

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are on the December issue of Harper's Bazaar and look f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s.
