Don't you just hate it when...

Your morning kicks off with an unplanned impromptu visit from your plumber so that he can fix the pipe in your front yard that is clogged with roots from the gorgeous grandiose oak tree that sits out front and you find out that its going to cost you $1500?!?!?!?

And then your morning continues with a juvenile text argument from your ex-boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend who insists on spelling poorly and acting like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum?!?!

Somehow I am still in a fantastic mood though. Really. Strange indeed.

Yogurt power.
These female-targeted yogurt ads are truly ridiculous. And really though, who DOES serve yogurt at their wedding? These bullshit ads belong in the same category as the commercials about the disgusting powder that you add to water to make it “exciting”, and apparently is as thrilling as buying “sexy, new underwear.” I’d make a nose-dive for the remote every time they came on to avoid having my young daughter grow up believing that all you need to do to feel empowered is sprinkle some pink-coloured aspartame into your bottled water.  So much hate.
 

SO freaking true

To the studio!

kelbyray:

It’s 8am. On our way to the studio. But not a recording studio, a TV studio! I won’t spoil the suprise, but we’re gonna be on a primetime cable show playing at a beach party. This is our first TV appearance! More info later on. Ok, ok, we’re gonna be on Lost!!! Just kidding. How would that be explained?

 Oooooohhhhh, wonder what it could be????

alohanico: byrdie: And lastly, this is from our shoot in the park the other day which will be on the cover of the May 15th issue. Not me - but the mod of course whoi just happened to be my high school buddy Laura who is drop dead gorgeous. This shot is SO senior pic. Tee-hee. Reminiscent of the shots in Seventeen’s School Zone features circa the mid-nineties. Please tell me I’m not the only one who remembers those…  I do remember those pics - they were shot with a bunch of students from Hillsboro High School in Nashville.

Here I am standing in for the mods on the day we did the Studio 54 shoot at Layl’a. I need to remember to fix my hair next time. Here I am standing in for the mods on the day we did the Studio 54 shoot at Layl’a. I need to remember to fix my hair next time.

Whenever Sam Simpkins (the staff photographer) and I work on a photoshoot for the magazine, he usually needs a “stand in” to pose where the model will pose so he can check the light. I was under the assumption that he usually just erases those photos in the editing process, but today I discovered a whole treasure trove of them in a file marked “Stand In” on his desktop. Here are a few of the better ones. Trust me, there were plenty of plain awful ones. This is one from the day we shot Kenny for the cover of our Spring Break issue. I was hiding behind him holding his shirt taut. Tee-hee.

It sucks to get dumped but after the requisite two-week depression you go meet your friends and realize, “Holy shit, there are a lot of fucking hot fish in the sea.”  (Via Vice)

We love Ad-Rock as much as the next girl but getting his fart’s autograph goes way past simple ass-kissing and starts to get scatological. We love Ad-Rock as much as the next girl but getting his fart’s autograph goes way past simple ass-kissing and starts to get scatological.

You think you’re into design but you’re not a true furniture snob until you can say your ass has never, ever touched any of those tacky subway seats. You think you’re into design but you’re not a true furniture snob until you can say your ass has never, ever touched any of those tacky subway seats.

Swedish bums have too much money and healthcare to illicit any sympathy, so feel free to yell, “Move it, Clogs,” and send this guy careening into the flowers.
