Principal's Office

Did you know that teachers can still smack kids in certain states? I certainly didn't think corporal punishment still existed in this country, but sigh, such is the whimsical lesson that reality TV can teach us.

"Principal's Office" is a new show on TruTV that has been stirring up almost zero attention, save for the fact that the Booneville, Arkansas segments feature a paddle-happy, "live-by-the-law" principal who's chock full 'o one-liners and a desire to distribute "licks" to all of his disorderly students.

I was able to find a poor quality video of Principal Halter negotiating a beating with Shorty, who may just be the most stereotypical Southerner to ever grace a reality show:

Camille Hempel, I <3 You!

About a month ago, I damaged my silver-knuckle ring during a night of intense dancing in my living room with my gays. After stopping by Catbird, where I bought it, they suggested that I talk to Camille Hempel at her boutique on S. 2nd. She's the one who designs the couch necklace (above), which I'm sure you've seen around.

When I brought her the bent ring, Camille fixed it..... buffed it and made it look purdy, she did it all in less then 5 minutes, AND refused to charge me or accept a tip. It was so nice of her, I was super impressed by her kindness as well as her ridiculously stylish and unique pieces that she designs. When I win the lottery/when our economy stops collapsing, I plan on splurging on some of Camille's bling, especially the rose gold pieces - DANG!!!

Check her out... Stop by and say hello for me, or visit her site:

gawd!

I can't escape feeling like Alice Hyatt this week. People are d-bags.

SPAIN = AMAZING

I'm back from espana, and for those of you who didn't get my postcards, I have to say it was a glorious trip. If the picture doesn't sum it up clearly enough, then check out what I learned:


-Mullets AND rattails are super trendy there, and certainly considered chic/normal. And I'm talking severe mullets/rattails.

-It's virtually impossible to find a salad there.

-It's virtually impossible to travel there and not drink, smoke, and eat until your innards start rotting.

-Atocha train station is retarded.

Hasta luego!

My traveling schedule has become absolutely spoiled/pretentious, but off I go again!

This time I am visiting the lovely and intelligent and glorious Liz, who has a place smack dab in the middle of Madrid. We will go to bullfights and watch animals get mauled to death. We will take a trip to Toledo and buy gold. We will drink SOOO much wine and eat meat and cheese. I will wander the city in the hot September sun and sweat and try not to get pick-pocketed. And I will see the Prado, the palace, the gardens, and all the other spectacular sights.

I will miss you!

XXOO

Elizabeth :)

oh wow

lucky dragons:

obsessed.

i want this band to play at my wedding, whenever and wherever that shall occur.

Fashion Rocks?

Fashion Week has kicked off here in NYC, and as little as I care, I still couldn't help but peruse the pictures on Yahoo! of the Fashion Rocks event. What I discovered is that this concert should be re-named Hookerfest 9000, since it seems like it was sheer and unadulterated sex-worker trash. 

Dennis Leary in a dress? The Pussycat dolls doing an insane vagina dance? Miley Cyrus?? I see very little here "rocking." It was good when they had David Bowie and the Arcade Fire and people like that involved, but wtf is THIS.
