Just for fun

My friend sent me a link for a recent concert featuring....well, you'll have to watch the video to see.



LOVE THIS VIDEO.

Grammy Fashion

Grammy Awards 2009 = The Attack of the Blind Stylists.

Where do I even begin?

First up, Carrie Underwood: She looks like an Oompa Loompa's girlfriend. Sweetie, lay off the fake bake lotion now.


















Paula Abdul. Eek. May be the most hideous gown of the night. It is basically the fashion equivalent to William Hung's audition song...yet somehow worse.


















Jennifer Hudson: A dress that looks like it's made from toilet paper AND duct tape. So cool.


















Jordin Sparks: Unless you're preggers or live in Micronesia, you should never -- I repeat, NEVER -- where a muumuu in public.


















Taylor Swift: Her dress looks like a cheap Jessica McClintock prom dress. Ick. Polyester is so yucky.


















Paris Hilton: Technocolored slip = boring, slutty outfit. Yawn.


















Coldplay: Upon realizing what an ass her dad was to name her after a fruit, Apple Martin decided it was payback time. Thus, she dressed her father and his band mates for the Grammy Awards. Looking pretty good, Mr. Martin. Kind of like a box of homeless mismatched crayons.

The web site formerly known as....oh, never mind!

Prince recently launched a new web site. Check it out here. As you would expect from a man who once known as a symbol, it's pretty strange.

The site is not fully functioning yet, but in the coming months fans will be able to access exclusive music, lyrics, photos, videos, and more. Of course, none of this will be free -- you'll have to pay for the privilege to surf Prince's site. After all, Prince is the artist who cried copyright infringement and demanded that his fan sites remove all things related to him, which meant all photos, lyrics, videos, etc. Sort of defeats the purpose of a fan site, huh?

Speaking of new sites, it looks like the British Monarchy will soon be launching a new web site. Per BrandRepublic.com., "the Queen has taken a 'hands on' approach to the site's redesign and wants it to be more user-friendly and accessible." Who knew the Queen was so tech savvy? Maybe she'll soon begin blogging about high tea.

I wish the treadmill was this much fun

I am sick of working out. I'm in a rut, plain and simple.

I told a friend about my lack of motivation and she forwarded me this video. It's an oldy but goody -- and it definitely inspired me to hit the treadmill tomorrow. Do you think the gym would let me perform a similar routine?

Day 2 in Iguazu....

Hola, Day 2 in Iguazu!

And oh, what a CRAZY day!

I woke up very early for vaca – 6:30 AM! – and after showering and such, headed down breakfast. The buffet, which was included with the room, was awesome: all the basic breakfast foods, plus loads of meat, bread and cheese. Being the cheapskate that I am (see previous post about FREE hotel room) I loaded up on all the protein and carbs that I could. And it paid off – with the exception of a little ice cream (of course!), I didn’t need anything to eat until 4 pm!

And then the day started! First stop – Devil’s Throat. Words cannot describe how magnificent it is. It is incredible. I actually had to go 2x (camera battery died the first time, ugh!) so I have photos from both the AM and the afternoon. Some of the images are below, and you need to check out the video here. Wow.

Then, it was off to under the waterfalls – literally! I forked over 75 pesos to take a rafting trip that went under some of the falls. It was awesome – sort of like being doused by a fire hydrant, as my new American friends (two very cool guys from UCLA biz school) said. Speaking of my new friends, I am so stoked -we’re going to be in BA at the same time, so we’re going to try to meet up again. Yay!

So by this point of the day I was totally exhausted, so I ate a couple of empanadas and chilled before a jungle tour. The tour was a blast – think Tarzan without the sexy shirtless dude. Lots of photos below! (Btw, super cool monkey photos to come -- my camera died on me, AGAIN, but a super sweet gal from Missouri is emailing me her photos!) The jungle tour was also a little embarrassing – a lot of my photos included the tour guide (who, btw, was totally adorable, although not nearly as cute, smart, or amazingly perfect as my boyfriend, Christian…love ya babe!) and he thought I was taking photos of him! Um, no.

Tomorrow I head to Mendoza. AKA Argentine wine country. Oh baby, bring it on.

Lots of love and hugs (and kisses for the boyfriend!) from South America!

PS The music playing right now in the Sheraton is "These Dreams." I mean, I love Heart, but come on... Gotta love Argetine music taste. (Speaking of which, funny story -- I was in a super trendy BA store -- think coed BCBG -- and they played Celine Dion not once, not twice, but THREE times. Daddy, you would LOVE it here!)

PPS Just got an email informing me of my ELITE status for Continental! Yay!

PPPS Heard it snowed in Houston. Um, CRAZY! But loved the pics from the real Jenny P.! Thanks girl!

Me, in front of Devil's Throat. It was amazing.

Devil's Throat. Don't go here if you have to pee.

Jungle boogie, get down with the boogie!

My tour guide! He kind of reminded me of Christian, actually -- they have the same facial expressions!

One BIG ASS bug. Ick!

In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle...see, the Argentine's music taste is wearing off on me! Help me Pandora!
