Lovely Nail....Just one.

If you know me well you know that I am obsessed with nail polish! It might even be an unhealthy obsession. If there was an actual job for someone to pick out a color for you, I would be that person. I once was at the grocery store and these two girls were in front of me, one of them told the other "I love your nail polish, what color is it?" and before she could answer I said "Miami beet" They both turned around and said "YAH! how did you know?" and I couldn't even answer them. I just walked away with my head down.

If there was a game show called "Name that polish" I would be undefeated. OPI, ESSIE and summer CHINA GLAZE colors are my favorites. Its so much fun to get your nails done!!! I love getting asked questions like "You have boyfriend?" "You go to party?" or my personal favorite "I like your jean, are those jean number seven?"

You can almost guarantee I will have a new color on my nails every week. I recently went to Europe and saw a new nail trend and decided to try it out with some of my favorite summer colors. I'm all for nail trends, shatter, shellac and minx. Pretty much anything without sparkles! This particular pair of colors are my favorite because they are super trendy casual by day.....




and Party Rocking at night!!!!





Happy Thursday!!!!!

Your Move Toddlers and Tiaras






After reading my last blog my mom informed me that my other favorite great parenting show was recently in the news. This show never cease to impress amaze me. Apparently a mother thought it was ok to have her 3 year old daughter compete in a Pretty Woman costume.





Now correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Julia Roberts was a prostitute in that movie. A prostitute that at one point couldn't even shop on Rodeo Drive. Regardless of the situation she was a hooker. It's a classic movie but I think this woman might have taken things a little too far.

Because of this woman we now have a new word to call inappropriately dressed kids: Prostitots


But Mom, I don't wanna dance!

This past Monday I got stuck watching a marathon of Lifetimes new hit show Dance Moms. Since Lifetime brings me Will and Grace, Reba and lets not forget those amazing Lifetime movies, I thought I would give this show a try.

This show did not let me down what so ever. These moms are a nightmare! Spending 40+ hours at the studio every week. First of all here is the owner and dance instructor Miss Abby Lee


You're joking. 

So this is the woman who take kids from ages 6-10 to the top!??! I questioned her up until I heard the woman talk. She doesn't take crap from anybody and she honestly knows what she is doing even though that might mean taking away a childhood to create a star. It worked out for Britney Spears right? ummmm Never mind.

So here are some of the Little dancing nuggets.

Meet Maddie (8 years old)


She's Abby's Favorite and everyone knows it. She wins 1st place at every competition. Ok, This girl needs to get beat up. She is good and she knows it and can be a huge brat. What makes things even worse is her mom knows she's the best too.


Meet Chloe (9 years old)

Now Chloe is a really great dancer (sometimes better than Maddie) but lives in Maddie's shadow and it's a shame because she is a super sweet girl. Her mother on the other hand is a stage 5 psycho. She once drank a bottle of wine during a dance competition. Normally I would encourage that sort of behavior but since she was drunk and crazy she ended up yelling at all the moms and making the kids cry.
No Bueno.

Now here is my favorite little nugget!!!
Meet Mackenzie (6 years old) This is Maddie's younger sister. Not only is she a good dancer, she's cute as a button. A rhinestone button of course.


Here is one of my favorite quotes from her:


Yeah Mackenzie, You retire. Stay home. Eat those chips!

This show is really shocking sometimes. I forget that these girls are only ages 6-9 and they're already in their prime of their career! I'm not sure about you guys but I think with costumes like these






 I do see a big future for them.



Still dancing Obviously.


Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to Hollywood

I finally got my break into Hollywood, well sort of. This past Saturday I celebrated my friend Sarah's birthday. She invited me to join her at KOFY dance party taping. I didn't know what to expect but naturally I was in. We dressed up in one of our best 80s outfits which sadly came from our closets. Then we made our way over to the KOFY studios in San Fransisco.  There was a line with a bunch of crazy people. It looked like bay to breakers, I immediately got super excited.

After I signed my life away, as if anything bad could happen from dancing. Actually I take that back. I have a friend, I wont name any names but he actually got kicked out of a bar for "Dancing too hard" True story.

So we got in line and stretched. Here is Sarah whippin' her crimped hair back and forth.




Here are some overly friendly people we met in line.


Then they had us in a wait room.

We couldn't be anymore excited and yes that is a fanny pack.
I realized that I want fanny packs to make a comeback now more than ever.
So easy to dance with all of your belongings on you.

Then it was the moment we all waited for...


It was better than I've ever imaged!!!!!!
"Is this real life"

It was honestly so much fun. We danced to 80s music for 2 hours with only 2 breaks. Hollywood is so tough. I won't give away any details about the show but you all can see for yourself September 25th at 8pm on KOFY! You think I'm joking but I'm not. 


Later that night we got ready to take a limo back out to the city. 
So Hollywood.


Happy Wednesday!

Ps. The next taping of Dance party is September 10th. Whose in??

You can't dance as if no one is watching because people are watching.

So Last night I decided to come out of retirement and go back to dance. I haven't danced in over 7 years! I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous. No one likes to be the old person who falls on their ass! I thought i would never dance again but every time I watch Jessica Alba in Honey I get the itch to dance. Then it dawned on me, if I ever wanted to partake in a dance battle and have a chance of winning I needed to go back to dance class.

So there I was in the building that I took my first class ever 22 years ago. Back then you didn't even have to learn a dance routine, you would just stand on the stage, smile and wave to your mom during the song Animal Crackers. The crowd loved it. When I walked into the dance room I suddenly realized all the young kids around me and it was nice that I immediately put things in perspective, the last time I danced on that dance floor NONE of these people were even born yet....including the teacher. Awesome! Hello Dinosaur.

To my surprise it actually went ok. I'm a little rusty but in a couple of months i feel like I will be back! Good news is today I woke up and I can walk. I guess that is a sign that I am ready to drop it like its hot just like Jessica Alba.

Hopefully I will keep up with the dance classes because I hope someday I will be as good as these gems.





Little Creepy but how cute are these ladies? Work it (golden) Girls!! Work that pole nana!


Happy Hump day!

The 3rd of July

Have you ever forgotten what day it was? Celebrated something one day early? I can honestly say I've done that! I decided to have a small BBQ pool party at my house with 3 of my friends and one dog. How crazy could it get? I guess after you shotgun a beer anything is possible. This is how the day started out.


Nice calm summer day on cuddle Island with J Biebe.

Then the creative juices started flowing and when I say juice I mean beer. Here are some classic Pool jump photos.


Bre and Crystal doing the Best Buddy Jump Photo.

I've posted many photos of my friend Crystal showing off some of her amazing jump photo talents but I'm sure we can all agree that this photo by far is the one that takes the cake. I present to you....


The Beer Flip!
Yes she is really drinking a beer.
(Kids do not try this at home...unless you're fun)

I had no idea that my street was having a 4th of July block party. Apparently they celebrated it on the wrong day also. We decided to walk down and join in on the fun. I guess my neighbors decided to rent the coolest water slide for all of the little kids. Obviously we asked if we can go on it, all of the dads said yes. All of the moms were not so thrilled.


That gave us the great idea to make a homemade water slide. So first we tried to use garbage bags.


But that was not dog proof.

Then we decided to use a blue tarp.


That worked but at the time I didn't realize Crystal was right behind me....


coming in hot!!!!!

Major water slide Fail.

I think next year we will pay the $200 for an actual blow up water slide. I blame my mother for all of this because she never bought me the crocodile mile that I've always wanted.

This might have been one of the best days of the summer. Who knew that these four girls could get into so much trouble?


They are such gems.

I can't wait for the next 3rd of July because the 4th is way too overrated.

God bless America.

Post Royal Wedding.

Hey everyone, 4 months later! So I've had about 15-20 people tell me that I really need to keep up on my blogs. To those handful of people, I'm sorry. I will try my best to write interesting stories to get you through your day at work. To be honest I didn't think anyone reads these.

I will be posting stories to catch you up on my 2011 Summer. Expect jump photos, crazy pool parties, planking photos and stories of my European adventure. Get excited.

For now I will pick up where I left off and that would be the royal wedding. Sadly when I went to London William and Kate where not home. I rang the doorbell twice and no one answered. Weird.

I did bring a super hot date to our royal wedding party. He is a LITTLE younger than me.



I thought things were going well with us... that is until i opened up my US weekly magazine and caught him with this chick.




Rude.


It feels good to be back. Happy Monday!

It should have been me.

A few weeks ago I watched a Lifetime movie about William and Kate. This was a bad move because now I am royally OBSESSED with the Royal wedding. I was surprised to find out that William wasn't the best boyfriend to Kate Middleton. She definitely put up with a royal pain in the arse, which proves that boys will be boys.... royal or not. So the past few nights I haven't been able to sleep and now I know the real reason why, I have cold feet. This wedding is giving me so much anxiety! So much to do before the big day. First off, where can I find a hat like this:



Also I need to order my Replica Ring to wear on the big day


Mostly Because it will pair nicely with the heart of the ocean necklace I ordered over 10 years ago.


Finally, a matching set.

Ironically back in the day when I was busy seeing Titanic 20 times in the theater, I used to have a little crush on Prince William but have you seen the guy recently?


ummmmm I'll go ahead and take the ginger on this one.


One day till the day that every girl dreams about. I hope you are all watching at 2 am with a cup of tea. Preferably ones like these.

and oh ya, I almost forgot. Something for all you lovers out there.


A gift fit for a king.


Happy Thursday!!!

The Dewey Decimal System

After 3 seasons of 16 and pregnant and 2 seasons of teen mom I started thinking "hmmm this kid thing doesn't seem so bad, maybe I should get one of my own" "Oh wait you have to read to it??? no thanks" This is until I realized what great children's books there are out there.

A story to teach you where babies come from
or what I like to call
Where Willy went: The incredible journey of Micheal Phelps


A story to teach you how to party like a Rock star.
I remember my first rave.


Oh look, Books about hair.


I'm surprised I didn't write this one.


I'm surprised my mom didn't write this one


This looks like a sad story. Wonder how
it ends.


I think you would find this story in the Non-Fiction
section because this is Real Talk. I wish my mom
read this one to me.


And of course the classic bowel movement books because let's be honest...


No matter how old you are, it's hilarious.


Happy Tuesday!!!

DeTangled.

This Past week I finally saw the movie tangled. It was really cute but I wondered why you didn't get a free deep conditioner when you purchased a $30 blue ray movie. It did inspire me to grow my hair out a lot longer and use it to do things like sneak out of my house or wash my car. I don't want to give away the end of the movie for those of you that still haven't seen it but I will say I had no idea Cher could be so evil.



And as for the hero Flynn Rider. I get that Rapunzel is an attractive 18 year old girl that you were interested in but don't try to Woo her with something you call "The look"




It didn't work and I hate to tell you it's already been done and mastered by someone else.





His name is Lucas Scott and you can find him in Tree Hill!


Happy Monday!!!!!
