philly is still a weird place, sometimes. i find myself walking down walnut st (aka the madison ave of philly–thanks to primo retailers such as arden b. and coldwater creek) feeling like bella swan in a sea of donatella versaces. it can get a girl down sometimes. even when i see my mom, i feel like this is what she’s really trying to tell me:

so this weekend, in the privacy of my own home, while it shitstorms outside (literally, have you seen spruce on a saturday morning? ugh)–i’ve transformed.

just as a reference…

and 2 hours and 3 bottles of lancome bronze flash later:

sooooo much better, right?

watch out gurlz–i’ve ARRIVED!

today dema says “everyone looks cute in a leotard and high waisted jeans.”

clearly someone was getting a litttttle too liberal with the rubber cement today…

there are no words.

even leotard MODELS look vaggie and scary!

paired with the pants below–pure magic.

mmm…leather insets.

not even this hunk can get them high waisters done right

dema needs a new career, it seems.

i’m sorry, i just can’t resist.

LOOKIT–freeform turds, shabby handwashing and porno music all in a 34 second clip. worth your time.

i am a trusted human

what i should be doing instead of drinking a verboten coke zero and watching an ANTM marathon:

wwc jr, this is your fault.

i am indebted to sexy-people blog and awkward family photos for serious daily entertainment. here’s some recent best-of-the-best….let me know your fave!

why did lil sis avoid the perm monster?

happy wispy bangs

it seems as though the dorney park photo studio got a whole lot pervier than when camp moshava took us there?

i want that jumper

marfans syndrome, anyone?

the ultimate…

…in high summer fashion combos. that’s right, ladies, it’s time to talk about how to keep it fly in summer ‘09.

prince of tides meets arabian nights

mmm regal redford

timeless chic!

or how about the perfect summer accessory? i vote mini backpack. great for bike riding, holding fresh produce at the farmer’s market, plus PVC means easy cleanup!

so comfy!

another great summer tip is storing all of your workplace gear (i.e. wet n wild aqua eyeliner, scrunchies and rainbow brite stationary) in one convenient place. enter the timeless carry-all—CABOODLES!

ecstatic & organized!!

classic aesthetic

my last summer tip for the day involves beauty and grooming. for summer 2009, i suggest investing in a perm. waves are BACK, ladies, and nothing says high summer fashion like having your hair stand up at least 3 inches from your scalp.

bewildered & beautiful

the "wet perm" look--a nice evening option

i leave you with some video inspiration to get you going. excellent examples of hair volume and accessorizing with ankle socks. stay funky america!

we decided to reenact biblical scenes this weekend.

the players:

we chose our scenes wisely.

the rape of dinah

the pieta

the reaction

"it's 9 am. why are you doing this to me."

"this shit is dumb."

fin.

oh my ladies

it’s been bottled up inside me for too long. sort of like that “ugly jew” idea that’s been brewing for a bit that i’m too scared to do.

anyway.

i just had some random bits of lady-related news to share with you.

1. UR SO RAVEN

now available on ebay. MISS RAVEN DOLLAH BILLZ. believe it.

2. UR SO BEYOND TERRIBLE UR GOOD

i was watching SYTYCD (if you don’t understand the acronym, its probably best that you don’t know what i mean) and this song came on. aren’t you glad the imogen heap phase of our lives is over? i needed to make you suffer through this too.

3. UR SO MATCHY

agree?

it’s obvs full swing SYTYCD season here at the graberhood.

missed you!

oh, one last thing for the ladies.

daniel craig is man candy–LITERALLY!
