Gouldylox: Now With More Lox!

I am a sucker for gadgets. I know most of the things sold on infomercials won’t hold up and are one trick ponies. But I am infatuated with the possibilities of all of the wacky shaped curling irons lining the aisle at Target and had to try The Hollywood Styler. You can set the “heat zones” differently, so you’ll get different types of waves. While my hair is still too short to fully take advantage of this, I’m too impatient not to try! The above pic is how my hair turned out with the Hollywood Styler on the Glamour setting. I know it’s gadget-y and probably not the BEST curling iron you can buy, but it totally delivered!

I’ve found it. My dream hair.

I love that the government is finally taking this whole Zombie thing seriously. It’s about time. Especially with the impending rapture. We just don’t know what is coming and we should be prepared for anything. Especially Zombies, which are going to happen at some point. Obviously.

Really? Is this needed?

According to The New York Post:

“In NYC to film “Men in Black III,” Smith had parked a massive, double-decker, 1,150-square foot trailer smack in the middle of the Soho neighborhood. Adding insult to injury for the people inconvenienced by the behemoth, Smith is renting an apartment less than a mile away.

The trailer, nicknamed “The Heat,” as the New York Post reports, “includes a lounge, a movie room with a 100-inch screen, marble floors throughout, offices for his assistants and writing staff, a large bedroom and all-granite bathroom. It measures about 53 feet long, has 22 wheels and weighs in at around 30 tons.”

I would hate for Will to be inconvenienced (ie: away from his jacuzzi and granite bathroom) during working hours. Can you imagine how hard his life would be if he only had to walk on RV CARPETED FLOORS? Lucky for those in the neighborhood, it was towed today.

NYC: 1, Will Smith: 0

Riddle me this. How icky are people these days that it isn’t uncommon for your friends to sell naked pictures of you to the tabloids? If you haven’t heard, Pippa Middleton was on a boat, five years ago, sunbathing amongst friends, revealing her nekkid upper half.

First of all, who even cares?

I suppose I care because I don’t understand when people turned into such greedy, money-gobbling arsey wankers. Presumably, she was among friends, including her sister and the Prince. Which means someone who wasn’t in line for the throne took and sold pictures of her sunbathing. Someone who she thought was a friend, someone she trusted. And that someone held on to the photos for five years, waiting for the right time to make some cash.

Apparently, I am one of the only people left who wouldn’t sell out a friend to make a quick ten thousand (or hundred thousand). A few years ago, I had a debate with a co-worker over pictures that surfaced of Michael Phelps allegedly smoking weed at a party, after returning from the Olympics. She saw nothing wrong with taking photos of someone noteworthy in a compromising position because it was her opportunity to “make some”.  In fact, she thought if a celeb was stupid enough to do that in “public”, then she deserved to make bank off of their bad fortune.

I don’t understand why people can’t “make bank” on their own, instead of capitalizing on other people’s ups, downs and nipples. When did everyone decide they were entitled - not make it on their own, but make it by chance, by throwing away the friendship, trust and respect of someone they know? Why does trust and respect suddenly mean nothing? I get that people in the public eye have to watch their P’s and Q’s, but when they aren’t in public, aren’t they allowed some privacy? And some real friends?

Can people just stop being so assy and be nice again? While we are at it, can we make an effort to bring back common courtesy and manners? And lose the entitled attitude? Am I asking too much?

She does look amazing in this picture. I’m still surprised she went so edgy. I hope I remember this cut for myself when I go with short hair again.

I love a good short haircut more than most people. But for some reason, I just can’t get behind this haircut. She is such a cute, cute chick and this cut is too edgy for her. Maybe I’m wrong. What do you think?

I am a little embarrassed to say that I woke up at 5am to watch the Royal Wedding this morning. I even went to bed early last night, so I would be able to wake up on time. Thank Gods I live on the east coast and didn’t have to wake up at 3am. 

I remember watching Diana get married when I was 8 and while I really don’t like to admit it, Diana’s charity work inspired me quite a bit as a younger woman. I am a totally closeted Diana fan.

I loved that the William invited some of the house staff to the wedding and thought the whole thing was beautiful, as far as weddings go. However, I do hope that Kate can go back to eating now that this is over. That girl needs a sandwich.
