Red Bottoms 2011...

I was looking back at previous posts and I'm thinking way to many of them have been about boys. Yuck. I guess I write what I know...and that's been my life this summer. But I'm taking a break from the boy posts to write about my first love...SHOES! And even better...SHOES I CAN'T AFFORD! Because in the words of Fergie " I be lookin for labels. I aint lookin for love" Yea...I could probably find someone way smarter to quote...but it works for the purposes of this post. Any who...as usual I couldn't sleep so I decided to do a little online shoe browsing the other night and (get excited) the Fall Winter 2011 Collection from Christian Louboutin is up! Of course I had to check out all the fantastic new red bottoms that I can't possibly afford and will be drooling over until the Spring Summer 2011 collection comes out. Of course Louboutin never disappoints. Its like they look into my brain and make the exact type of sky high heels that I love. So I'm taking this very special post to show my favorites from this new collection.



Bridget's Back Gold

If I had to choose these would probably be my number one favorite from this collection. I literally stared at them for about 10 minutes before I was able to snap out of my shoe coma. For the life of me I can't find how much these Bridgets cost (not like it matters). But previous Bridgets by Louboutin are around $1595, and those are just the lace and leopard ones. These could def run you up to about $3000. But they look fantastic in Silver and Black as well. LOVE!




Misfit

Man these shoes are beautiful. And they look even better in cream but I couldn't find a pic of those *sad face* Look out for these in the new season of Gossip Girl. Yes...Leighton Meester wears these during filming. These are def the type of shoes that look more breath taking when you put them on your foot. Retail price...a ridiculous $1395. *sigh* If I were a rich girl...



Madame Butterfly Booty

I really really really love this shoe. This is the black leather one, but I've seen it in purple suede which is just as...if not more stunning that this shoe. Unfortunately I don't have $1200. I don't think I even own anything that I could sell to make that much money. But a girl can dream right? Out of all three, I feel like this one is the most simple. And it is the most likely of the entire collection to be turned into a knockoff. Hopefully I'll be seeing something like this in the mall in a few months.

Text Etiquette...

I'll admit, there are alot of things in this world that really get on my effin nerves. Like sharing a bathroom with my extremely messy sister who is convinced that she is America's Next Top Model and our house is a beauty salon, or people who just can't believe I'm 21 because I look soooo young and I'm barely five feet tall. And of course the drunk and sometimes sober people who make me tell all their friends my name because its "THE COOLEST NAME I'VE EVER HEARD!" Yep...they are usually Caucasian-Americans as I like to call them. But the other day...something really annoying happened and I almost threw my phone out the window. It may seem minor to most but for some reason it really makes me want to go on a murderous rampage maiming the elderly, punching babies, and drowning puppies. Okay...that's a little extreme...but I did get really agitated. So I'm chillin in my PJ's...eating some Special K cereal and hear my phone vibrate. Of course its a text so I open it and it says "wads gudd." I instantly feel the anger rising in my throat ( not to mention my half chewed cereal) as I try to comprehend what sane person would butcher the English language so badly and then send it to me in an electronic message. I got so annoyed that I deleted the text and decided that I CAN NOT speak to someone who would send me something so dumb. Don't get me wrong...I text people all the time using abbreviations, slang words, and other online phrases that are common to our generation...but some people think that texting gives you the right to take a dump on the dictionary and other laws relating to grammar, syntax and subject verb agreement. Well I am here to share with you a little bit of text etiquette. If you want me to delete you from my phone book...do any of the following things....

1. Use an unnecessary and obnoxious amount of punctuation. Like really...I think that I could tell you were excited about the A on your Economics final with just one exclamation point. There is no need for you to have 10 exclamation points. Isn't that just really annoying?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! <--- yea it is.

2.Abbreviate or change the spelling of words for NO damn reason. Abbreviations are used because they make words that are long easier to type. Sounds reasonable enough right? So why the eff are you changing was to "wuz" or cool to "kewl"? They have the same amount of letters...not to mention you won't look like a complete A-hole when you use the original word. And if you use the word "fone" instead of phone...I will come to your house and slap your mother.

3.Go absolutely bananas with the emoticons. The occassional smiley face or winky face (especially while flirting) is acceptable and often necessary. But when every text message you send me has some sort of smiley in it...and half of them I can't even recognize, I might get annoyed. Its like what the f*ck is THAT face? Constipation? And guys...if you do this to much...I think you are gay. Like you literally have sexual feelings toward men. Sorry.

4. Adding letters to the end of words. I think this is like a new thing or something. I didn't notice it until my sister text me Heyyyy. And I was like...is your keyboard stuck because you added extra y's onto the end of Hey? Apparently people do that now. Its really annoying to text on my touch screen phone...and I try to only put the necessary amount of letters. With all the damn abbreviating we do...why the eff would you add EXTRA sh*t? Kids...

5.Sending multiple texts in a row without giving me a chance to respond. You are NOT IMing me...damn can I get a chance to respond? I literally went downstairs for a minute to get some food leaving my phone upstairs and came back to this on my phone:
Idiot: Wassup?
Idiot: Hello?
Idiot: Guess you are to busy to text me back
Idiot. Are you mad at me?

Seriously...when I see the text I will text you back...unless you already broke rules one through four.

I'm not trying to be overly critical...I know texting is a very informal way of communicating. But there are just certain things I CAN NOT tolerate. So don't be an annoying texter. And don't text and drive! Or skeet and tweet =)

Swiping the V-card...

Today, while on my usual blog reading routine, I came across an interesting article that made me think. I can't remember the exact title of the article but it basically asked at what age does being a virgin become a stigma. If I said to you that I lost my virginity at 12 (NOT true) you would probably look at me just as weird as if I was 25 and still a virgin (assuming I wasn't like hideously deformed or had creepy body odor). But apparently the average age that guys and girls swipe their v-card is around 17...which is very surprising to me. I feel shows like Maury and Tyra want us to think that middle schoolers all across America are getting their cherries popped on the back of school buses. I guess the reality is more along the lines of losing it in the back of the limo on prom night (cliche). With that said...at what point between figuring out what those special parts down there are for and those very parts shriveling up is it deemed acceptable to enter the world of sex. The truth is...the answer is different for guys and girls. For a guy...be the first one of the homies to get his Willie wet and you are the man. Pretty much..the sooner you lose it the better. And if you do manage to make it out of high school with your virginity in tact...don't tell anyone. On the other hand..girls get a very mixed messages. Do it to young or be the first of your friends to lose it...you become the town hoe and wait to late and people are gonna think that you are 1.a prude 2. REALLY ugly or 3. that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and your virginity is strictly for your future husband. But nine times out of ten...those are never the real answers because its ALOT more complicated than that...for girls at least. We are taught that our virginity is our virtue and we should cherish it and all that bullsh*t but in the same breathe we are encouraged to sexualize ourselves in an effort to attract guys. So here we are...one walking contradiction. Girls dressed in short shorts and tight shirts holding tightly to our "virtues" for fear of getting a bad reputation. But I could talk about THAT subject all day and how fair it is. The real point is that I remember clearly having the "are you a virgin talk" with people on several different occasions over the years and in the beginning people would proudly proclaim that they were virgins...but eventually you could tell who the virgins were because they were quite with shame. When did that happen?

Jumping on the grenade...

You know...I've always considered myself a FANTASTIC friend. I do my friend's hair (for free), I can keep a secret, I let people borrow clothes that I've never even worn (my clothes are my children), AND I would never ever take and send of pic of a friend passed out in a gas station bathroom after barfing up four loko all over their white jeans. But this summer has really got me thinking that there are certain limitations to being a good friend. That maybe...just maybe, you shouldn't ask anyone, let alone a close friend to do certain things for you. And this brings me to the point of this post. I wish I could count how many times I've had to "take one for the team", you know "jump on a grenade" or in plainer English...entertain the ugly friend while my friend macs on his much much hotter homeboy. I swear its like becoming the STORY of my life. So I'm nice to the guy, I may even flirt a little, all the while giving my home girl the evil eye and plotting ways to destroy her. I guess its my fault, I'm to nice and the word no is like not in my vocabulary. Or maybe I'm just hoping that my friend can return the favor later.(NOT!) Only one time has this whole jumping on a grenade thing worked out for me (the friend was gorgeous) but 9 times out of 10 I'm sorely disappointed. So NO MORE I TELL YOU!! I'm taking a vow to never jump on another grenade ever again! This will greatly decrease the amount of texts and phone calls I have to ignore on a daily basis. Man...I'm super looking forward to this!

Sexting Rules...

I subscribe to the school of thought that technology...ruins lives. I'll admit that I almost had a panic attack when I thought I lost my phone and I refuse to leave the house without my mp3 player, but texting, facebooking, bbming, and chatting allow us to stay in constant contact with each other...without ever saying anything really significant. When was the last time you got an urgent text message? Right...never. I'm getting to the point where I HATE texting people or even talking on the phone...I'd much rather talk in person. And my own personal rule is that if I actually like a guy I would NEVER add him as a friend on facebook until after I got to know him. So I keep my shiz on super private and usually have to add people because they can't search me. But the latest technological fail that people just cant get enough of...sexting. Now sexting isn't something that I have ever personally done. Its not that I'm totally against it...I can see how it could come in handy in a long distance relationship or even if your significant other is away for a while, but sending a pic is becoming like a required step after getting the digits. Uh oh...i got the number...time to send a d*ck pic! Yes I have been asked many times to send a pic of myself and I have never done it...even with a boyfriend. You never know where those pics could end up...and even if I don't put my face in them I have very distinguishable tattoos and piercings that if you saw a pic you would know it was me. But if you just cant control the urge to send nude or semi nude pics of yourself, make sure you watch the video below...

All the cool kids are doing it?

So I stumbled across this...disturbing video and immediately thought that I must write about this. Unfortunately I am at a complete loss for words. I mean...just watch and be confused. Also wonder to yourself what is going on with the youth of America. Is it bad that I thought some of the guys in this video were cute. Aye shawty! Lemme holla!
