Winter Wonderland

Although it’s the warm time of the year here in California. Eric sometimes likes to cool it down… with the ladies.

On a recent trip to the frigid north that we call Alaska, Eric found friendship with this skating marm. She had wicked skills on the ice but since she loaned her camera to the Russians that one time, it takes the worst photos.

The plus side of being in Alaska is that there is more time to spend with recently retired Sara Palin… Oprah’s nemesis.

The High Jump

Eric is on cloud 9, because of all the beach ladies… and what makes these ladies better than regular beach ladies is the interpretive dance.

Boy does he love summer.

The Movie I want to see: 500 Days of Summer

This is the movie I want to see this summer.

The first time I saw this trailer. I initially thought, “Summer is evil”. How can she do this to poor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He’s the small lad from “10 things I hate about you” who “Pined and Perished” for Bianca Stratford.

And then I realized I can totally relate to Summer. Things do happen and then you should cut your losses and go on. We are young, and I am not a marm. If things suck, staying will only make things worse. And I know I may regret saying this someday, but screw it. That is how I feel right now.

And a story about love seems better than a love story.

Also I love how they filmed in LA and didn’t make it a joke. I actually do love Los Angeles and once you get off of Hollywood Blvd. we are real people. We have bikes, and dogs, and 78% of us even have souls. Just like the rest of the world. We may not have the most structurally lush skyline like most major cities, but we have our funky good times.

And we have awesome food, music, and vintage clothing stores.

Also this made me laugh because it sounds like Jimmy and I talking… this is what we talk about. Just in case you ever wondered.

America!

Happy Fourth of July!

On this day a boatload of years ago (233 to be exact), we said we didn’t like England. And we became our own country… it was really awesome.

Because Abraham Lincoln was our president:

The Long Dress

Have you ever wondered if you could be a model for 1980’s Laura Ashley long flower dresses???

Isabel has.

Or maybe earlier today she said she’d never wear a long floral dress. Well here is the only place on the earth you will see this sweet awesome dress on this particular Isabel.

happy weekend!!!!!

the Secret Garden

Everybody in the garden gets flowers… in the secret garden.

Isabel and Clay are seen here making plans for the most patriotic of celebrations. I hear there will be sparklers and barbeque… I’m so there.

Also Isabel… I’m loving that chaleco!

The Hayworth

Eric likes ladies throughout all of the times… he doesn’t discriminate.

Here he is in Monte Carlo at about -30 years old with Rita Hayworth.

I am so happy that Eric informed me of all the picture I have not previously posted. I know he’s going to enjoy this one. Also that chair behind them is totally sweet, and I want it for the backyard I do not have.

This is so not my Jam

This is for people who want to watch music videos.

I give to you: 

Top 5 “no one would want this for their ‘jam’ songs”

Michael Bolton- “Can I touch you there?”

Yes this is a real song. This song sounds wrong… not just the innuendo of the title- but the very inapropriate pan flute. And may I add the fedora does nothing for Mr. Bolton, nor does splashing about in a river make anything about this song better.

Jewel- “Hands”

Okay this song would be like the weirdest song for a girl at a club to scream “this is my jam”… unless she really likes hands. And what club would play this???

Green Day – “21 Guns”

For all the reasons stressed in my previous post about Green Day. This is the whiniest song ever. And the answer to the following analogy

BLINK 182: ADAM’S SONG 

Mandy Moore- In my Pocket

This song is here for the obvious reasons. Mandy’s lame. And this song is about pennies!!! Secretly this is Isabel’s favorite song, an interesting fact.

And finally anything by Smash Mouth. If it were 9 years ago sure. But don’t try to get me into hearing ‘All Star’ now that I am 23 years old, because no it doesn’t rock. And yes, all I think about when I see it is “Mystery Men.”
