freakin' on: melanin

i just attempted to lay out in the back yard. i was out there for an agonizing 20 minutes per side WITH maui babe on, and i barely got any color. i'm seriously the palest person i know. seriously. as of late, i've really come to accept my skin tone... it helps to have a significant other who is appreciative of it. so i don't know why, but the last two weeks my pastyness has really been bothering me. i don't really notice it when i'm getting ready or whatever, but as soon as i leave the house and i look down to see two icicles hanging out of my skirt... well i get a little self conscious.

i thought i would attempt to do something about it... but i'm thinking i may just go get a tan misted on. as far as i am concerned, there is little difference between the weather in "the valley," los angeles, and the weather in "the valley," phoenix. it is unbearable, and no sane person should try to lay out in the summer in either location. especially if all it is going to accomplish is making you light headed.

i'm going to go melt now.

freakin' on: fashion

HOORAY! project runway is back!!! heidi klum is unpregnant, jeffery has neck tattoos, malan has a fake accent, alison is adorable, and vincent is completely off his rocker. i will miss daniel and santino, but hopefully some of the new bunch will prove just as interesting. this group already seems to be WAY more talented, so at least the fashion will be better. I CAN'T WAIT!

freakin' on: futbol

i haven't watched a single world cup game, but we are having a party for the finals tomorrow. i'm pretty excited about it because it is at 10:30am pst. this means we get to have a brunch, and i get to have a reasonable excuse to drink champagne. i'm making bellinis for italy and kir royales for france. i'm not exactly sure if kir royale is a french drink, but they did serve it at the france's kiosk when i went to the food and wine festival at epcot. that's as good as fact to me.

my summer theme is serving ethnic drinks at all our parties. so far i've only done margaritas, but after this weekend we will have "visited" 3 countries. it is kind of like being the thirsty traveler except i'm not canadian and i don't have to ever leave my house.

salud!
cin! cin!
a votre sante!
