Glamour Shots of the Mug Variety

Posted by AllieB on August 30, 2010

Welp, Paris Hilton got busted for possession of cocaine. According to various sources, it was not hers and the only reason it was on her person is because she borrowed her friend’s clutch because it went better with her outfit than the one she had. Oh, ok.

Seriously, whatever – celeb arrests are hardly headline-worthy, and, with this being Paris’s second drug bust THIS SUMMER (her friend wound up pleading guilty to the charges and Paris was off the hook-hmm, a pattern?), I’m kind of like, BFD, ya know?

What is worthy of comment, however, is how good Paris manages to look in her mug shots – all three of them! If you’re gonna end up in the slamma, I guess this is the way to go.

2006 - DUI; 2007 - turning self into jail to serve time for DUI; 2010 - cocaine possession

Some people are not so lucky. Mischa never looks good,  so it’s hardly shocking that’d she’d look sallow and greasy in a mug shot. I’m not sure what Jason Wahler did this time (he’s been arrested on seven different occasions – like, really?), but they might wanna go ahead and book him for mass murder, as I’m pretty sure this is what mass murderers look like.

They actually look like they belong in jail.

Wishlist: My Very Own Room of Books

Posted by AllieB on August 23, 2010

Obviously, Diane von Furstenberg has an eye for design – this is not brand new information.

Her Connecticut home  is featured in the September issue of InStyle magazine, and, inside of this lovely abode, is my dream haven. I would never leave. I would toss a microwave and mini-fridge in the corner (I’m guessing DVF has not equipped her home library with a microwave and mini-fridge), and I’d be happy as a clam.

Mecca, is what this is.

Damn Gina

Posted by AllieB on August 20, 2010

I do not love her on GG, and I certainly do not love her six inch plastic platforms with a tip jar in the soles (seriously? you’re 17), but Make Me Wanna Die, by Taylor Momsen’s band Pretty Reckless, is pretty catchy. I was sure the title was indicative of how I’d feel upon hearing the song, but it doesn’t make me wanna die at all; in fact, I think it’d be good for a running playlist. And I like her voice.

According to a recent interview with Taylor, her look is best described as “high class hooker.” Now that makes me wanna track down her mother so I can commend her on a job well done – what a role model!

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose

Posted by AllieB on August 5, 2010

Friday Night Lights is one of my top three favorite television shows, but it can be tough work to watch it. The bleak setting, the seemingly insurmountable struggles that every character faces – seriously, there is nary a soul on that show who has a charmed life – it can get a little frustrating.

At times I honestly want to turn it off because I can’t handle the massive letdowns that the good, hardworking folk of Dillon, Texas have to deal with. The Taylor family is good people and they do NOT deserve this crap! But then, just when I’m like, “this is borderline masochistic to watch,” they will allow a victory, a silver lining so inspiring that I am enraptured all over again. It’s exhausting, truly – a real emotional roller coaster.

Were the cast not comprised of exactly who it is, the show would be unwatchable. I want Coach Taylor to come to my house and order me to get my priorities straight; I wish that Principal Tami Taylor had ruled my high school with the same stern compassion; and I would do just about anything to take a ride with Tim Riggins in that beat-up truck of his.

Sorry I’m not sorry I immerse myself in television – I have similarly strong feelings about Modern Family. Good tv is good tv.

Oh, hey Tim.

Chuck Bass, I do not prefer this outfit.

Marissa Cooper – until you purchase a mirror and can see the heinousness that you subject the public to with each and every ensemble you wear – please do not leave the house.
