Loves It, Hates It

Lady Gaga making a cameo in Beyoncé music video: "Loves It!"

Lady Gaga makes a sexy cameo and is featured on the remix of Beyoncé's song "Video Phone".

Could it get any better?

Maybe....if there was a throw back to the Lady Marmalade days when four or five fab singers/performers team up together to create one hot single. Perhaps this time around we could see Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. Rihanna would be an amazing add to mix up the dynamics to form the Fab Five (B is obviously starting to get ahead of herself).

Looking at it from a practical standpoint all five of them have a connection with at least one other Fab Five member so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch. Plus there have even been several collaborations already...so let's just push those collaborations a little bit further.

Three words to describe this type of project: Music Executive's Fanatsy.

*Sigh* If only.

Hot Mess or Fashion Success?

So, this past weekend L visited Forever 21. Now, it has been over a year since she has stepped foot in this fine clothier. Partly because it's a clusterfuck, partly because she needs her partner to help her stay calm.

(Last time with Shawnie, said partner in need, Summer 2008, in the Dirtiest State in the Union -- XO MISS YOU!)

Now, a little preface: Before the girls' summer shopping extravaganza, she had purchased a cute black and white pencil skirt (trés work appropriate...and from "back in the day" when the only F21 near her was in Provi!)...only to have it rip up the back slit. She had it reinforced, but it ripped again.

Now, we don't know if it's the Forever 21 craftsmanship (or lack thereof) or if it's L's ever-expanding assets that caused the double rip around the glutes. But, in her defense, she also had a cute leopard print sweater that lost most of it's coloring and became pilly after one wash...so she was a little skeptical.

And, onto the story: But, dear Readers, this time she was with Momma, and Momma has quite the eye!! And so, L had quite the case of the grabby hands this weekend!

She scored a number of cute sweaters (adorned with pearls and bows and beads) for work (that she's hoping and praying they won't get destroyed after one wash) and this:

My Little Black Dress Tank, $14.80

(Oh, it's going to be super cute with a blank tank underneath and black leggings! ::squeals with delight at childish find::)

LOOK AT THAT TUTU!!

(Hey now, let her have this! She stayed out of Abercrombie...even if it took all her willpower!)

But, lets stop for a minute and look at this skirt and ask ourselves a collective,

"What the F--k?"

Belted Glove Skirt, $32.00

It's like the skirt's little grabby hands are trying to grope you! "Ahh, no! My unmentionables!!!"

You stay away, you Michael Jackson belt! (Too soon??)

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't boys suppose to try to get up/in your skirt??

heh heh heh

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Water Cooler

Setting: Mid-November. B is at her desk in the front of the office. B's manager comes out to the front for a quick second. B and her manager start chatting.

Black Friday manages to come up in the convo and B without hesitation tells her manager how much she loves Black Friday and it should be a recognized holiday. B's manager had a little celebration for Black Friday too...her 25th Wedding Anniversary!!

Well after hearing this B was so ecstatic and said: "Oh my! That's wonderful!! What month did you get married in?" (sad part is B was completely serious at the time).

B's manager looks at her confused and simply says: "November".

B's only response: "Duh. You just said Black Friday was your anniversary and it is in November what a silly question...it's been a rough week".

Really B? Really?

Way to make an impression!
