Asexuality

Just an observation here, but it seems as though many people in positions of power have this asexual aura about them.

Think 'bout it.

I guess when you're really busy/stressed, the interest in sex sorta wanes. However, we all know what happens after that...

Hot Bitch of the Day:André Leon Talley
I'm trying to catch up with fashion by watching Valentino: The Last Emperor (2008) and now, The September Issue (2009).

Mini-review: Most of Valentino was in Italian, no subs, but luckily he did flip to French/English, so I understood that. From what I deduced, it was a bit shallow - as in, not in the superficial way, but there was little-to-no depth to the doc. Although, I must say, it did a good job of portraying the designer as someone who's passionate, someone who lives and breathes fashion.

Another individual who seems to live for fashion is runway front-row regular and Vogue editor-at-large, a.k.a. Anna Wintour's right-hand, André Leon Talley.

While trying to find a pic that did ALT any justice, I was a bit disappointed. All the images were quite safe, subdued, but here's one with him donning one of his many murals caftans+ballet flats that he probably had customed.

To match his fashion fierceness, ALT also has some choice catch phrases like what he says at the beginning of The September Issue, "It's a famine of beauty...my eyes are starving for beauty!"

I couldn't have put it any better. That's exactly how I feel when I'm out 'n about - downtown not any better! For shame, Toronto, for shame. The problem? Things have just gotten waaay too casual and sadly now, it's acceptable.

Future Post: In a few days, I will be going to the opposite of The Fashion Mecca, i.e. the airport. If I see anything outlandishly unacceptable, I will try to capture it on my cell phone cam and post w/ comment here. You know the drill!

What ever happened to those days where travelling was an event that you dress appropriately for? I understand the concept of comfort, however, I do not understand the "roll-out-of-bed-in-order-to-catch-a-flight" look.

Okay, maybe it's not a look, but more of something that actually happens. In any event, I still don't get it. Let's have some pride people, shall we?

Britney Spears'"Womanizer"
Thank God gaylists are sorta kept secret.

To "mix up" the high-brow, I've thrown in some tracks that my gay friends would flame out to...even if they were so last year. It's all good. That's what the headphones/gay clubs/friends are for.

So apparently, in order to delete songs from iTunes, you hafta delete them from the Library. (Thanks J!) Deleting them from a folder, i.e. if it's in an album, doesn't get rid of them from the entire playlist. I learned this the hard way last night.

Just a thought: I don't think I've ever directly "dated" a womaniser (chiefly British) before, but I would like an opportunity to. Playing the mind games would be fun...for like a week!

This cannot be happening.

Dear Immune System,

Why must you have such impeccable timing as to spring a cold on me when I'm about to take off for some sun 'n fun?

Take this as a warning: I will do all that is in my power in order to prevent you from getting full-blown. I will take a really hot shower, gulp down pots of green tea, test out Cold-FX (2Xs/day), & sleep a lot...after running some errands.

I hope this works.

Hate,
Me.

The Accidental Hervé

Oh fuck. I accidentally bought another Hervé.

Story: Last night, I noticed that an auction, for a Hervé dress, was ending at an odd time. So to get some jollies, I bid for jokes. It makes me feel ALIVE!

I'm not sure when eBay instilled this, but now there is a "1-click bid" option. Basically, after you've placed a bid, you can simply click onto this link and it'll automatically increase your existing bid by 1 increment. I don't gamble, so I'm not sure what a good metaphor would be.

Sometimes I do "1-click bid" to jack up the price (for fun), other times I'm serious about winning an item. In this case, I was meh about the dress - I was just curious as to how high my co-bidder was willing to go.

With 3 minutes left, I shutdown my browser and shrieked...hoping that I wouldn't win. A while later, I see that I've lost by $5.00. Fine. Great. No harm done. More money saved. And 1 less dress that I don't have an occasion to wear.

ANYWAY, today I receive a "You have a second chance offer" email. (This is done if the winner cannot complete a transaction. Sorta like the first runner up in a pageant.) That's interesting...but how did the seller know soo quickly that the winner was unable to fulfill her duties?

I email the seller and say that I just booked a vacation, so money's a bit tight (not right;), so I'd be more inclined to purchase the dress if the shipping cost was included. (Shipping was something ridiculous like $23 from the US. Some method that has tracking, but may include a catch like paying duties 'n shit like that which homegirl's not down for!) I was totally bluffing.

And guess what? The seller accepted. FUCK!

So 'cause I'm a Leo and Leos are proud, to a fault, I now hafta buy this dress that I will probably never wear. My plan is to sell it, but will I at least break-even?

Again, I don't gamble, but keep me AWAY from casinos.

P.S. I'm also convinced that if I had the funds, I'd be buying up property...hoping to turn a profit!

Hot Bitch of the Day:

Chi-Chi's
I sincerely miss this "Celebration Of Food!". Is a lil' Hep-A really worth shutting down an entire chain of restaurants? Isn't there some kinda shot you can take in order to prevent this virus which spreads through fecal matter? What's the big whoop?

Anyway, I have very fond, childhood memories of Chi-Chi's. Occasionally, my rich aunt would invite either me &/or my sibs out for dinner with our cousins. When the waitress came 'round to take our order, I was absolutely floored when I was allowed to get more than just tap water. Really? A pop...all to myself, no sharing, & free refills? I was in heaven.

If that wasn't enough, we'd cap off our meal with...FRIED ICE CREAM. Waaay more mysterious than the Caramilk secret, if you ask me.

P.S. I don't really remember this "Celebration Sampler", but is it 4 realz? That much food for $7.99...1 person would really eat all that? And then Americans wonder why they are soo fat. Who can blame them tho'?

Fright Night (1985)
What happened to those days where horror movies were on tv, on various channels, the week before Halloween? For example, Fright Night (1985) starring William Ragsdale & Chris Sarandon. I remember staying up late to watch the entire film with my sister.

(Fuck Rocky Horror. That's for Whiteys.)

Nowadays, it seems like there isn't much of a presence of theatrical horror releases this time of year. What am I talking about, I don't remember anything HQ being released period.

HAPPY WHORE-O-WEEN, SLUTS!

Just Call Me Stephen

I have no idea how straight women in their 20s (& beyond) find anyone. Seriously. This is just a generalisation here, but I think "men" in this age bracket are complete MORONS.

(This especially applies to guys who dress up for Halloween, travel in pacts, and frequent dance clubs.)

If I wasn't scared of pussy, I'd be a lesbian, by-choice...'cause there would be no other choice.

P.S. Lesbians LOVE me! We share the same, no-nonsense/drama approach to life.

Vomit Comment

I gloated to a supervisor about how happy I was that a particular task was coming to an end this Friday. THEN, she insinuated that she thought that I'd be working on it the coming week as well.

"Punched in the gut" wasn't exactly my reaction, but it was more like I was being forced to eat rotten food, vomited because the food was rotten, and then being force-fed my own vomit. TASTY!

Needless to say, I would like this nightmare to end ASAP. Fuck the Queen Elizabeths!
