If the Shoe Fits, Buy It! BCBG Courtney pump

These BCBG Courtney metallic pumps are monochromatic, but have incredible subtle texture due to the leather panelling. The silver stiletto heel has rich-looking wooden detailing at the top, which just adds another luxe element to these 4" platformed babies. These also come in white (which are fantastic) or black.

The Bacon Top 40 Countdown - Part 1

The Bacon Top 40 Countdown - Part 1

Have you ever heard that vegetarians never stop craving bacon? It is true. I no longer eat meat, but I desperately miss bacon - enough so that I have written a series of posts about this delicious porky treat.

I will be the Ryan Seacrest of bacon, counting down my top 40 favorite bacony treats and products. Here is the first of four installments in my Bacon Top 40 Countdown:

Salty strips of pork,

I am vegetarian.

Our love cannot be.

Sweet candy of meat -

I'd sell my soul to Satan

For endless rashers.

40. Bacon watch: What time is it? It's BACON TIME!
39. Squeeze bacon: Directions: Squeeze directly into your mouth. Optional: Follow up with a squeeze of Reddi-Whip for dessert.


38. What Would Bacon Do? Not a day goes by that I don't ask myself this question.

37. Gummy bacon: Gummy bears, gummy worms, gummy sharks... it was only a matter of time.

36. Bacon wallet: Great for bringing home the bacon.
35. Bacon-flavored toothpicks: Does your mouth have that too-fresh minty feeling? Well, chew on this! Reclaim your meaty breath with a bacon-flavored toothpick, available in a handy travel tin.

34. Chocolate covered bacon: Is there a culinary Nobel Prize?


33. Maple-bacon lollipop: Sweet + savory + stick = portable pork pleasure.

32. Bacon floss: 4 out of 5 dentists agree, this stuff is awesome.

31. Bacon cone: Who wants a bacon cone? THIS GIRL. I am fiercely jealous that I did not invent this myself... a cone of bacon, filled with cheesy eggs, and topped with country gravy and a biscuit? Um, yes please. This one just might make me hop off the veggie wagon.

Throwback - Barbizon

Any female who watched TV or read a magazine in the 1980s and 1990s surely remembers Barbizon! Barbizon suggested that each of us could "Train to be a model (or just look like one)."


The "models" on the commercial always wore the best acid-washed, pleated, zippered-ankle jeans, and had curly, crimpy hair. I was dying to go to Barbizon Modeling School to learn how to properly swing a shopping bag as I spun myself around in a carefree circle at the mall.

Unfortunately, I was relegated to hobbies that involved reading books and learning stuff. Moms are such a buzzkill sometimes.

WTF? Corset piercings

Holy cow... these are some pretty intense piercings!


While I think some corset piercings are aesthetically pleasing, I can't imagine how easy it must be to get them caught on clothing. Surface piercings are the most vulnerable to rejection by the body, and are most prone to getting accidentally torn out... ouch!

Here is the step-by-step corset piercing process:




And here is what happens when your body rejects the piercings:

Is it Jocelyn Wildenstein, the Swiss socialite who squandered her divorce money to look like a cat?
Or is it Donatella Versace, the famed, leathery Italian couture designer?

Could it be Maria Geronazzo, the Hungarian adult film star?

Perhaps you think it is Amanda Lepore, the New Jersey born transsexual nightlife hostess?

Or is it Steve Erhardt, the celebrity beauty consultant from Hollywood?

Last, but certainly not least, could it be Michaela Romanini, the Italian socialite?

Movies!

Have you ever come across a movie that you immediately know you absolutely never want to see as long as you live? I will not see these movies. Not unless you pay me:

• The Bucket List (2007)
• Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)
• In the Army Now (1994)
• From Justin to Kelly (2003)
• Top Gun (1986)
• Seven Pounds (2008)
• The Hottie and the Nottie (2008)
• Die Hard (1988)
• Ghost (1990)
• Tropic Thunder (2008)

Ick, ick, ick. This list might not make sense to someone else, but I will never watch these movies if I can help it. I am certain that I could die happy without seeing any of these. Am I wrong about any of them? You can try to convince me, but I am stubborn... so good luck.

However, I do love some movies. I would watch these 10 movies over and over, and for sure will stop any time I come across them while channel surfing:

• E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
• Matchstick Men (2003)
• Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)
• Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
• The Departed (2006)
• Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
• Office Space (1999)
• Batman Begins (2005)
• Home Alone (1990)
• Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

What do you think about this list? Do I like any losers? Do I loathe any winners?

Retail Therapy - Wave pillowcases

"The Great Wave at Kanagawa" - Katsushika Hokusai, ca. 1831–1833

I love Japanese art, so I was pretty excited to see this offbeat take on the iconic ink piece from the Edo period:

I mean, what better way to pay respect to a famous, stunning work of art than to drool on it in your sleep?

The pillowcases are available at Urban Outfitters.
