What if Lewinsky waited 10 years?



After hitting the Matisjahollogan concert last night (I don't like his entourage so I slaughter his name on purpose), I went to dinner with some of my fave's (JG & Meli, Tiani, and Taylor). We were joined by a girl who I am sure was on acid. She managed to make anyone and everyone feel awkward with her crude comments and trashy persona. Now, I am not someone with a huge filter, so when I say crude it's enough to make Lady Gaga blush. I felt bad for her. She was trying so hard. I wanted to give her a hug and tell her, "It's ok. You don't have to put on this act, you're fine. Enjoy the food, and the great conversations you keep interrupting,". But instead, I avoided eye contact and hid behind Tiani (sorry girl).

It got me thinking of the trash trend. You know; Ashley Dupre', Michelle "I salute Hitler and hooked up w America's sweetheart hubbie" McGhee, Tiger's slew of sluts, and anyone who has appeared on a VH1 reality show. It now pays be trash. Not making enough on the pole? Go after a married celeb. Trying to get your modeling career started? Apply for VH1 Rock of Love IV. Being a celebrity mistress almost guarantees you six figures, along with the ultimate revenge. CLASSY.

That brings me to the title; What if Monica Lewinsky waited 10 years? What if the Clinton/Lewinsky scenario played out in 2010? She certainly wouldn't be hiding in the UK. Her ugly purse line would have taken off (yikes), and should would have been considered smart, not insane, for saving her filthy dress as evidence. It made me feel for Ms. Lewinsky, along with the Acid Tripper. It also made me pray and hope that the trash trend is almost over. It's been played out people. Let's get back to focusing on what people do for a living vs. who they do!

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses.....



As the queen of "excuses", I always appreciate hearing creative get out of jail free lines. A way to soften the blow, if you will. Although I have never actually been stood up on a date, I have had a couple of lame excuses used on me. To be honest, I actually like hearing them. I am shocked I don't get more thrown my way. I never take it personal and find it more comical since I am the 'Excuse Queen' and constantly using them to get out of dates, dinners, and anything that ends in shower. The excuse I heard this week in Denver with my drop dead gorgeous girl Mindy was something blog-worthy.

"Hey darlin, so I just got home from work and my dog has gotten into my fishing gear. It looks like she might have swallowed some fish hooks. I have to take her to the vet for some X-Rays. Probably won't be able to make it out to show you girls around but text me tomorrow".

Men tend to suck at excuses and should stick to straight up lying (there is a difference). For one, anytime a guy sends a text message that is longer than one sentence you should always be suspect. They are either lying or gay. Second, my general rule of thumb for excuses is never using sickness of a family member, friend, or pet as an out. It's just bad karma. This excuse dragged his innocent dog and a hobby into it. Now they are both jinxed (good one dude, good one). And finally, pick and choose when you really need to use an 'excuse'. My girl and I had just asked for a good place to go to brunch as we were from out of town, nothing more. Don't waste good excuses on people unless you are planning on seeing them again. Period, end of story.
