sexiest outfit - women: a dress (showing some leg) and heels. then again, i think wearing your boyfriend’s button-down in any capacity is equally sexy. men: i can’t resist a man (especially mine) in a suit. it’s the 007 thing. what is the sexiest article of clothing? - boy short underwear. does that count as clothing? who is the sexiest late-night talk-show host? choose from:...

what i learned from "27 dresses."
while watching 27 dresses (which was a passable romantic comedy, by the way), i was struck with the following opinion: weddings are purely commerical, not cultural, events. the majority of people who go to weddings do so to get drunk/see friends/admire the decor/eat good food, NOT usually because they care about you getting married. wedding planning is obnoxious. brides are—in...

new pet peeve.
the sound of strawberries being chewed—the seeds make an obnoxious crunchy sound.
guilty.
i’m unashamed to admit that i find it beyond frustrating when people devote their blog to making vague, angsty statements that you know probably have to do with events in their real life, but you aren’t sure because, well, they are extraordinarily vague. on purpose. “i’m so sad, i’m so introspective, this song makes me cry, this quote speaks to me.” well. okay....
