Oh, Heidi Klum.......I Am So Happy You Are Wearing Mondo's Dress!!

Ok, I loved Mondo on this past season of Project Runway and I totally think he should have won instead of Gretchen. Boooo, Hiss

Anywho, Heidi loved Mondo's dress that Nina and Michael Kors did not really like. Boooo, Hiss  Heidi liked it so much she wore it to the movie premiere of "Black Swan."  Granted, she did do away with the sleeves, but I don't mind as I think it is still really cute!

I am glad Heidi is giving Mondo the love.  He is such a great designer!

Geico....You are Some Funny People

I am not a big fan of many commercials because they are just boring and I am glad 85% of the T.V. we watch is recorded so we can fast forward through commercials that are not funny (sorry commercials, I wish you were funny for both of our sakes). But I have to say that one of the few commercials I stop at and will actually rewind to watch are the newer Geico commercials. They are WHO-larious!

You know which ones I am talking about right...click here.

Does Elmer Fudd have troubles with the letter R? "Wabbits. Wabbits. Ah this director is wubbing me the wong way."

Does a former drill sergeant make a terrible therapist?...."Tissue? (Throws box) Cry Baby."

Or how about the Honest Abe commercial?! Is honest Abe really honest? "Does this dress make my backside look big? (insert uncomfortable expressions) Perhaps a ...."

So have you seen the newest one?!  Oh my gosh, I watched it four times because I couldn't stop laughing.

Did the little piggy cry wee wee wee all the way home?



Genius.  I really believe I would like the people who come up with these Geico commercials as I love funny people.  It is simple but very clever humor. LOVE. IT.

Any favorite commercials?

Have You Seen This Show?

Private Chefs of Beverly Hills, on the Food Network

Because if you have not then you must start watching it, RIGHT NOW! Well actually whenever it is on again, because the probability that it is on TV at the very moment you are reading this blog is highly unlikely, though of course not improbable so go check right now! I will wait……

Seriously, this show is great. It combines my love of cooking shows with reality shows with crazy snobs with funny and hot chefs. OH MY GOSH…..it is PERFECT! The premise is a bit complex, it is about a bunch of Private Chefs who cook in Beverly Hills. See, you would have never guessed that. And by combining the eccentric and snobby clients of Beverly Hills with these chefs just means crazy antics will ensue!! LOVE IT.

There are six chefs, all of which are pretty great. Click here to learn more about them. Chef Jesse is my personal favorite. He is HILARIOUS. I want to be his friend. You may also know him from the show Workout. Personal trainer and chef – awesome! I also love Chef Brooke. She has this cute voice and is pregnant and does the coolest things with food. I heart cute, pregnant and creative people. 

And then there is Chef Stuart….delicious Chef Stuart.

I have a huge crush on this Irish hunk. Sigh.  He has an accent, he cooks, he is gorgeous, he is funny, and he is shy.  Perfection.  (He could stir my stew any day. He could knead my biscuits whenever he wanted. He could cook pot roast in my oven every day. He can squeeze my melons all the time.)

I know my opinion matters. And my opinion is that this shows ROCKS.


(He can baste my white meat any day. He can melt his butter in my frying pan all the time. He can poach my eggs every day. He can whisk my heavy cream until soft peaks form. The sad thing is I could really keep going….)

Project Runway – Please Don’t Disappoint Me Again

So I saw that Project Runway is set to return with a new season starting on January 14. Now my Owens friends got me into this show and I have been hooked ever since. I was truly sad when it moved to Lifetime and was off the air for so long. When the new season started I was excited for its return but I am going to be honest I was not that impressed with last season.

I didn’t think the designers were all that great. A few designed some really great items, but overall there was not one single designer that I thought stood out and did a truly amazing job. The entire season just seemed a bit dull. I also was annoyed because it seemed as though I typically disagreed with everything the judges were saying. I would think something was ridiculous and they would love it or I would love something and they hated it. My sister and I watched the season in the hopes it would get better but I think it just got worse.

I am still going to watch the new season this Thursday and I am excited about it, I just hope this season is better than last season!

Will you be watching the new season of Project Runway?

Meet the designers HERE.

Sorry Luke Wilson…..

I know it is a recession and all, but I think you need to get a real acting job or at the very least find a better product to shell out other than a phone company.



I like you Luke Wilson (I really do) but I do not like you in these commercials. If you could just find some satirical romantic comedy movie to be in, it would be greatly appreciated. But misleading AT&T commercials, you are better than that.

I am just trying to look out for you. I don’t want your career to end and for you to only be remembered because you did some stupid AT&T commercials, the same way Jamie Lee Curtis’* did when she started selling Activia. Plus the commercials are just stupid, you need to be in something better than these.

I am only trying to look out for your best interests dearest Luke, you are far too young and funny for these commercials. I forgave you for My Super Ex-Girlfriend; I know we can get past this too.



*I also adore Jamie Lee Curtis, but come on who doesn’t laugh thinking of the SNL spoofs of her sitting on the couch eating Activia about to poop her pants. I will think of that always….or until something funnier comes along.

Who’s With Me…

I would like to sign some sort of petition or start some sort of coalition requiring that ALL reenactment actors look just like, or as close as possible, to the people that they are portraying. I am tired of watching shows like “I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant” or “Snapped” or any other show that feels the need to reenact a semi-dramatic scene to tell a story and the actors look nothing like the people they are portraying.

I am not talking facial features or a different length hair I am talking about how the actor looks like this…



And when they show the real person she looks like this……



Actor…..



Real person…….




I think you get my point. Please feel free to join my cause.


*Yes I watch I Didn't Know I was Pregnant and Snapped...go ahead Judge me. And maybe my pics are a little exaggerated, but I am always looking for a reason to post pics of Johnny Depp on my blog.

Totally Random Quote of the Day....

From the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Talking about FOX news being bias:

"MSNBC wishes they were as good as FOX. They are the Toledo Mudhens to the FOX's Yankees."

PROJECT RUNWAY - TONIGHT!!!

Make sure your DVR's are set...or even better just don't plan to do anything at all tonight except sit in front of your TV and watch Project Runway! The new season of Project Runway starts tonight at 10pm on Lifetime. But that is not it, at 8pm tonight there is a 2 hour All-Star Project Runway Special. Awesome.

What a great week for TV. 3 hours of Project Runway tonight. Last night was 2 1/2 hours of Top Chef and the new Season kicked off. And the new season of Ghost Hunters was last night.


(I think I love TV too much)

Rock Bus Of Skanky Crazy Whores

So does anyone watch Rock Bus Of Skanky Crazy Whores? Come on, I know we all love this show! I am not so much a fan of Mr. Pouty Lips Michaels but I absolutely LOVE watching these girls throw themselves at him so they can either live out some fantasy of sleeping with a rocker or think they really have a chance to marry the cowboy hat / doo-rag combo wearing man whore. I mean, come on girls this is the third season already – get a clue! I don’t think he is going to find the love of his life on a Vh1 reality show.

And these girls, oh these girls are an interesting group of idolizers. They love them some attention from Bret or more specifically maybe they just love attention from middle age rockers. As always the producers of the show did a great job of picking a good balance of crazies, dumb asses, shy girls, alcoholics, loud mouths, and the clique “fan of the music” girls. Thank you for not letting me down.

As for favorites, well I have a list of girls I think should stay on the show because they make me laugh, cringe, and crave more of the drama each episode. But as for actually “winning” the “love” of Mr. I Just Want To Bang These Girls Michaels ...... I really have no favorite.

I would like to share some of my favorite quotes. The first section is from Ashley, the girl that looks like a skanky version of Juliette Lewis, who tends to have the best nonsensical quotes ever.

Favorite quotes so far:
Ashley: “Get over it. Everyone pukes, and poops their pants.”
Ashley: “Bret is a rockstar. If your gonna date a rockstar get used to falling off the stage BITCH.”
Ashley: “I'm not here for you. I'm here for Bret. I want a cheeseburger!”
Ashley: “I'm gonna puke on your mom. She loves it.”


Kelsey: “I have no clue where Champagne is but all I know is that we're going to the bottom of the bottle.”
Marcia: referring to how heavy her suitcase is "Brittaney is in my suitcase.... BRITTANEY! Why'd you have to eat all those cheeseburgers?"
Brittaney: “If people could have sex behind closed doors,what's wrong with putting it on camera”
Brittaney: “I haven't put on skates in a really long time, but it was kinda nice cause when I was growing up I was actually a competitive ice skater. I was so good I was competing against 18 year olds winning gold medals at the age of 7... I prolly would have been an Olympic hopeful if I didn't have to quit... But I really like how my life turned out in the adult industry...”
Natasha: “OMG the pornstar stole our dirty socks!”
Melissa: “OMG I popped my freaking implant”
Beverly: “I will not marry Bret Michaels looking like a hooker”
Marcia: “crazy va jay jay”


Aw….I LOVE this show.

TV Reminder…..

All New Episodes of Psych start TONIGHT on USA at 10 pm!!

This is one of my favorite shows! It is full of great 80’s references, funny one-liners, a mystery to solve, and is just flipp’n Hi-larious!

Really HIMYM....You Couldn't Get Anyone Else? I Mean, Really.

So T & I just started watching How I Met Your Mother the end of last season. We actually really enjoy the show, and the fact that Terry enjoys it is saying something because he isn't typically a fan of shows like this. (Never liked Friends, Seinfeld, etc..)

So anywho, I have yet to tell him the news of who the latest guest (not-star) additions are to the show. Click Here. Kim Kardashian, Heidi Montag, and that small-minded asshole who thinks he is better then everyone else and thinks he is actually someone important... guy (I refuse to mention him by name on my blog). Yep, the show is bringing them on.

WHY, HIMYM....WHYYYYYYY?!?!

I mean, you are a cool show. I bet there are tons of cool people that would love to be on your show, and yet you went with those 3 people. I don't want to tell Terry, he may ban this show forever because of this!

The only redeeming quality with this episode is that the reason these 3 tools are on the show is because Marshall feels as though he can't poop at work (thus his magazine covers coming to life I guess). Poop is always funny. So maybe it will be funny because it is about poop, though I am thinking an episode about poop without these extra poopheads in it would be much better.

(I am really not a mean person, but come on!)

I Love....

TOP GEAR!!!

Ok, I know this may not be for everyone, but one of my new(er) favorite shows is Top Gear which is on BBC America! This show is awesome!

I am not really a car person. I think cars are cool to look at and can be interesting at times but that is about it. And that is the great thing about this show, it is great for anyone! The show talks about cars but also has these little "skit/adventure" type things (like in the video above) and also has celebrities come on!

The video above is almost 10 minutes, but is hilarious! T&I laughed so hard the first time we saw it! I totally recommend this show, new episodes are on Monday evening!

When the Writers are Away....the Hosts will Play!

Have any of you been watching the stuff going on between Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart, & Stephen Colbert? We have for the past few weeks (as we watch all three of these shows). It is at times a bit much and definitely a time waster....but really funny!!!

Here is the "Finale" between the three of them. T & I enjoyed it!!!

Do You Remember?

Pop up video!

This is such a GREAT show!

This weekend T & I watched a couple hours of this show on VH1 Classic. I wanted more!

I don’t believe they have made newer ones since sometime in early-mid 2000….but it is still great!

I Loved Lisa Loeb! I use to imitate her look from this video when it came out!

Just Putting it Out There...

I love the TV show Torchwood! It is on BBCA and the second season kicks off this Saturday on BBCA at 9:00 p.m.!!! (Season 1 came out on DVD this past Tuesday!)

This show is getting GREAT reviews, mainly because it is awesome!! :)

It is a Sci-fi, drama show. (And a spin-off of Dr. Who) Some reviews say it is Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets X-Files but edgier! I guess that is one way to put it....I think it is its own style! It is definatly edgier and if you are not into aliens, weird stuff, sexually driven TV, and sci-fi......well then this may not be for you.

But if you are I will say this. T & I have converted my parents, my sister, her boyfriend, some of their friends, a couple of our friends, and T's brother ALL onto the show! They love it! It is creative and fun and I say WATCH IT!

Dove did it again!

Dove has had their campaign for real beauty. They have shown commercials that show the evolution of a person on a billboard, they have shown commercials about loving the unique parts of yourself, and they have focused on using the real women in their commercials.

Well on the today show I saw they have a new film called Onslaught out online that shows the images girls are exposed to on a daily basis and Dove is raising the issue that parents need to "talk to their kids before the beauty industry does".

Click HERE to see the film.

I am so happy Dove does this and is getting the message out there. I know as a 27 year old women it can be frustrating seeing all these ads on TV showing the extent people will go to sell "beauty" or the extent women will go to try to resemble what they see on TV. I can't imagine how young girls handle this.

Way to go Dove, I applaud you!

New Show Review

So last night (among the 2 hour season finale of Dr. Who and the season premier of Heroes) Terry and I watched the new sitcom The Big Bang Theory.

I have to say that I enjoyed it alot!!! Infact, they had us at the Battlestar Gallactica joke (T & I love that show..and yes we are very geeky). It is definitely worth giving it another week or two to see where the show goes and if it can keep up that type of humor without getting redundant. That is the only thing I am worried about, the humor repeating itself. But otherwise, I have entered the show into our DVR so we will see what happens!

New show for tonight - Reaper on CW. Terry and I use to watch the series Dead Like Me. I want to watch this show just to see how they do the whole reaper thing. It sounds funny!

Last Comic Standing Winner!!!

YAY to Jon Reep...this seasons Last Comic Standing Winner!!

I think he is SO funny!!! And I just love this show!

He is also the Dodge Hemi guy on the commercials!!!

TBS - Where it's At!

I have to say that TBS has some GREAT comedy shows on! Seriously I could pretty much laugh my way through an entire day just watching the shows on TBS!

Some of my favs include:
Family Guy *new to TBS
Seinfeld
Saved by the Bell
The Fresh Prince..
Just Shoot Me
Friends
Everybody Loves Raymond
The Office *new to TBS
Sex and the City

Seriously...they got the market on syndicated comedy shows!!!

Way to go TBS, you bring a smile to my face!

(Tuesdays are particularly my favorite day to watch TBS!)

My New "Addiction"

Ok, so I have a new late night addiction. QVC.

I will be honest, I never really cared for QVC. I use to make fun of the jewelry (just not my taste) and I more or less never even watched the show and didn't give it a chance. However Monday night I was looking for something to watch and saw that it was Gem Week on QVC so turned to it. I love gems and as there was nothing else on I thought - what the heck!

Skip forward a few days and the last three evenings I have turned on the QVC jewelry show and watched it for a little bit before I go to bed! I don't know if it is because it is Gem's this week or the soothing voice of the girl talking or how fast the jewelry goes or what but I am completely enthralled by this show AND the idea of the show.

Here are some things that amaze me about the show:

- Lisa, the person talking about the jewelry is really nice (on the show) and can just keep talking forever. It is like the marathon of sales pitches! She can talk about this jewelry for 2 hours straight and she is flawless. It is amazing to watch. After like 5 minutes I wouldn't know what to say!

- I can't believe how many people stay up late to watch these shows! I mean they are always selling stuff anytime during the day!

- People call in and say hi. These are dedicated QVC fans and some will even go into parts of their life and reveal maybe too much info on air. It is funny! (The calls are my favorite!)

- I can't believe how much people buy! They may have 6,000 pieces of jewelry and they will be gone in 2 hours. And things just go FAST on the show. You have to be quick!

- I wonder how much QVC makes a year. Also, I wonder how much people spend a year on QVC products.

It is like the ultimate reality show for me! And actually alot of the jewelry I have seen the past few days I thought was pretty and something I may wear! (of course some is just too crazy for my taste, but some is very very nice)

Does anyone else watch QVC? Any other products worth checking out? Right now I am just stuck on the gems, but any good makeup or stuff? I haven't bought anything, but it is fun to look!

P.S. I could see how this could be dangerous. Just sitting in the comfort of your home, looking at the pretty things on TV, credit card in hand....it could be easy to buy alot of stuff from them!
