The Real Moncler Dog

Moncler's 2011 winter/fall ads "Dont Steal the Jacket" have premiered in all the fashion magazines. What caught my attention while flipping through Bazaar was an ad featuring a black Pomeranian. This adorable pup looked identical to Dolce and for a second I was honestly confused. See for yourself (I snagged a pic from the Moncler website www.moncler.com and also uploaded one of myself and Dolce).

As a lover of everything Moncler it makes me proud, but at the same time I feel I should receive a complimentary coat from this years winter line. Just sayin....so if you're listening Moncler or Bruce Weber, Don't Steal the Jacket and if you ever need a doggy stunt double I have just the guy, or dog for you.

Salud!

What's your Facebook status really saying?

I tend to make fun of those who always post how blessed they are and thankful and blah blah blah. Is it just me, or are those status updates usually posted by the most unbalanced person you know?

For example, "I am so thankful for my amazing husband (who is the best looking man I know) and my two adorable kids. I am the luckiest woman alive!", TRANSLATION, "I hate my husband and haven't gotten any action in months (he makes me sick) and my kids are annoying the shit out of me".

Or "Having the best day ever, can't wait for tonight", TRANSLATES into, "He hasn't called and I feel fat. I have no plans tonight but need to look cool and pray Mr. No Call is looking at my page".

I think I have a positive outlook on life and have been told this by most of my friends, however I don't feel the need to make people believe I am Ms. Positive Polly Perfection at all times! Especially when life's not. Imperfection is beautiful, let your true self shine. And if that wasn't a positive end to this blog post, well you can just suck it ;)

XOXO

Cheapy McCheapskates

My recent FB status update stated, "I'm just going to say it, cheap people are annoying!". The comments following were clearly from cheap people and those who knew what I was saying. We all have one. The cheap friend. The friend who doesn't ever pick up a round, doesn't pay their way, and makes endless excuses as to why they aren't pitching in.

Now let me clarify, there is nothing wrong with being a recessionista. I love bargain hunting and I love sales. My definition of a "cheap person" is someone who would rather inconvenience family and friends to save a dollar (and in some cases less than that). For example: I recently had a friend, who is more of an acquaintance, ask me to help her move. On a Tuesday. The same day I had thrown my back out. When I told her I had some great movers she should use, she acted insulted and tried to make me feel bad. Another friend of mine (who is probably reading this) is a trust fund baby, on daddy's payroll, and complains if she has to pay a dime more. She even calls herself the "Jewish Princess" and although I love her, it's annoying to the 3x. Being cheap with money that is handed to you is the ultimate form of cheapness!

So with that in mind, don't be that guy. Do you really want to be known as the cheap friend? It's tacky and you're not fooling anyone. Granted your friends love you no matter what, but why not show them some love and leave the deal making and bargain hunting in the bazaar where it belongs!

If it ain't broke...

You would think after Speidi, Octo-mom, Lisa Rina, etc. people would learn........if it ain't broken don't fix it. Which makes me wonder why do so many of my friends, who are all drop dead GORGEOUS, continue with extreme plumping? Everything from their chests, lips, wrinkles, etc. to the point where they almost look bloated???

This just in, we know they're fake! I may pretend to act like I believe you when you say, "No, these are all mine", but I am just too lazy to argue. Fake is not better. Just ask my friend who shoots models all day, everyday. He can spot a lip injection better than I and it's so unoriginal at this point, it's almost tacky.

So unless you are going to Demi Moore's plastic surgeon or completely broken (literally), just leave it and love it. For examples: I hate my stomach (despise it actually), but I love my legs, cheek bones, dark hair, olive skin and so on. For everything you don't like about yourself, I guarantee you like at least five more things. Focus on what you like! I promise, you're perfect the way you are! And for the record, those are my lips and they're all mine.

Love B!

I'm like a box of chocolates.....

I am not someone you would say is consistent in anything I do. Everything from my moods to my text message response time is inconsistent and it drives some people crazy!

I hate commitments and feeling committed. I am not a flake necessarily. When you have my commitment I am fully dedicated, it's just getting me to that point that's the hard part. I think that's why guys chase me and why I am labeled 'mysterious' by so many. Say what you will, but who wants vanilla everyday? I'm like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you're going to get.

Love B!

A Social Life is different than your Social Network

Whenever I run into people they are constantly telling me how they live vicariously through me......through Facebook. And I laugh.

Granted, my 20's were wild, crazy, and spectacular. I thank God everyday that the digital world had not yet hit the masses and social networks were nonexistent. We all have those friends (plural) who's profiles don't really equate to how their life really is. From highly photoshopped profile pics, to professing their undying love on FB all the while confiding their undying misery to you on the phone. In a nut shell it's just Facebook and it's all b.s.

I am not saying ignore what is on someones page, there are definite indicators and red flags not to be ignored. This includes spelling errors, sappy quotes, and writing the same way a 14 year old girl texts her best friend. I personally refuse to post anything related to the weather, emotion/relationships, gyms, and/or how blessed I am. That leaves just one thing. Alcohol. But, it's JUST Facebook. Instead of taking 1300 "MySpace Pose"d pictures (see Urban Dictionary definition below), I would rather make people laugh. It's just my nature.

1.	myspace pose	202 up, 26 down
	buy myspace pose mugs, tshirts and magnets The pose someone does when taking a photograph of themselves with their ]webcam] for their myspace page. Religiously overused by emos,goths and the like. Clearly you will not be accepted as normal without performing the pose. Instructions on how to create the my space pose: 1. Position or hold your webcam above you so that it is pointed down at you from a high angle. 2. Look up at the camera with your eyes without lifting your head, because otherwise you will not be accepted by your peers if you use your neck. 3. Don't smile. This rule MUST be obeyed. Extra points if you look upset or woeful. 4. Take the photo, then make it black and white on your photo editor. 5. Post it and watch your popularity boom.
