Big Changes + TV Icons

We haven’t seen each other in a while, eh? You’d still recognize me, I look the same– plus a new piercing (which we can talk about later, thanks) and minus a pant size or so.  How and why? Well…

You know how if you live in America and/or use the internet and/or watch TV you are brainwashed into believing that January = ‘Lose Some Goddamn Weight, You Fat Whore!’ Month? Well, this fat whore gave in this time. Because I can only manage the burden of one of those labels at a time, and– let’s be honest– whore’s not giving me up any time soon.

spend the holidays with your favorite city

YO.

St. Louis is a delightful place to get your holiday groove on. Let me tell you all abouts it.

Beside all of the parties you’ll be attending because I know you’re like, super popular, the city has so many things to offer! These are some of my picks:

Gullible moth meets really suspicious flame.

Thing you might not know about me #3674: I have a love of the supernatural. I’m not even kidding. Ghosts, witches, past lives, The New Jersey Devil, The Loch Ness Monster, La Chupacabra, aliens, Greek mythology, Roanoke Island, astrology, Nostradamus etc etc. I can’t help it. I’m drawn to it. Gullible moth meets really suspicious flame. Oh and I REALLY love a good conspiracy theory. Oh boy. That’s the way to get to my heart. Oh AND I am super superstitious and I rely on Karma to explain many of life’s twists and turns. I know, I am a well-educated woman, but when I have mysterious bruises I can’t help but assume the dead are pinching me in the night because I haven’t been praying for them. (Also mom and I were discussing and I realized I left out angels. I believe in angels too.)

putting st.louis on the map

Maybe its just me. But in my brain, St. Louis is a big city. Almost every state has a big city – sometimes the capitol, sometimes not. However, I’ve come to realize that St. Louis is a small-big city. Its not even the biggest city in Missouri (I’m sure plenty of you knew that but I didn’t), though it is the largest “urban-metropolitan area”.

What I’m saying is, as a child I thought “Hey I live in St. Louis. People know where St. Louis is. People know where New York is, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, etc. And people know where St. Louis is.”

But do they?

Oh shit, we’re caught on camera…and it’s on the internet…

We’ve made our film debut! And it’s in the St. Louis Magazine A-List Party VIDEO! Check out seconds 24-27 for our apperance on the red carpet.

(Don’t worry, to find this video on the real interwebs, you don’t have to turn OFF your Google safe search. In fact, keep it ON, always, especially if we’re involved…)

Card Games + A Potentially Glorious Retirement Plan

I learned how to play Gin Rummy! The other day out on my lawn, one of those beautiful days when it was warm and sunny but breezy and dry, I sat on my lawn with the boy down the street and we taught ourselves to play Gin Rummy.

It was a Thursday, and since KBoyne is a re-bachelor dad and does not understand about things like buying cleaning products, there was a woman cleaning my house. I was home (good thing, too, since we ran out of garbage bags and I had to go get some). This woman is nice enough, but she always smells strongly of cigarettes on account of she chain smokes after she finishes a room or two, after every room or two. And that particular Thursday she decided to switch to from regular no-fuss floor cleaner to a lemon-scented Pine-Sol knock-off. Yes, I can tell it was cheap. The cheap ones always smell sickly and penetrate everywhere, like they don’t clean, just soak into your floors to cover whatever odor you created with their fake citrus scent. Remember how I get migraines? They’ve made me really sensitive to smell.

So as soon as that Fir-Sol went down, I had to leave my house. Seeing as I had nowhere to go and it was such a lovely day, I decided to camp out on my front lawn with a book, my knitting, and my cell phone. I also had a deck of cards in my knitting bag, in case of company.

It’s getting ugly…

Hello friends!

As a Self Proclaimed Socialite, it is one of my duties to inform you about very imporant events that are going on around St. Louis. It’s my job. Self-imposed job, but still.

Anyway, one of my very bestest friends from Wash U, Miss Emily Flanders, an event planner extraordinaire who moonlights as a poet, is planning an UGLY PARTY this Thursday, July 29th, at Sol Lounge in the Central West End. All benefits go to Urban Studio Cafe, an ultra awesome, innovative, and progressive coffee shop located in Old North St. Louis. Urban Studio is not just any coffee shop, however, but one with a conscience for urban development and renovation in places where it is needed most. You can check them out by visiting their website: http://www.urbanstudiocafe.org

Please come out in your ugliest of uglies, your tried and true gaudies, and your atrocious christmas sweaters from years past. Knowing Emily, Sol Lounge, and Urban Studio Cafe, I am certain  it will not disappoint.

Ugly Party! YESSSSS!
