Unfortunately in the fashion world, biting is an inevitability.  While I can't stand blatant fakes (you, with the fake speedy!  I see you! Real Louie's don't lean like that!!) less expensive takes on designer duds are kind of how the majority of us get by (see: Zara && Forever21).  However, this is inexcusable as far as I'm concerned.

I've been eyeing these shoes for a while: But they just won't go on sale.  a;lkjdad.  I know I'm the only one willing to wear plastic shoes for crying out loud, so what's the hold up?  Srsly. [Images via Karmalo...

Have you ever just seen yourself in someone else?  Not a relative or a friend; that's too easy.  But a complete stranger? Despite showing up a few minutes early to an open call, I was evidently late.  The room was packed with eager hopefuls, potential oozing out the door.  I had just found a coveted spot against the wall to fill out the routine contact sheet when I noticed her.  Head down, in ill fitting clothes, she sat on a chair beside me.  Her headshot was a bad...

I know I've been blogging like a fiend lately, but two things: 1: Imeem is dead?  No, scratch that, Imeem is worse than dead; it merged with Myspace??  What... who uses that shit anymore?? 2. Erm, "real time results"?  Seriously, Google.  People's tweets are far from accurate answers to my queries.* I mean seriously. *So there def was supposed be a screenshot to support my second point.  But now, the real time results things is no where to be found.  But...

Not so much a Missed Connection as one of those oddly intimate encounters you have with a stranger. My car had a flat.  I did not panic but my heart did a little pirouette at the thought of finally putting my money to good use; I could now call AAA.  I waited the obligatory 45 mins to an hour for help.  As I gazed through my condensation filled windows at the blurry headlights and hurried pedestrians, I wondered why it always takes about an hour for everything.  Help. ...

I usually like to feature little know choreographers because they're usually the ones making the hottest shit.  But after seeing this on So You Think You Can Dance, I had to feature it. ::speechless::...

...people who are supposed to help you, can't?  Like when you call customer service about your tempermental cell phone and the representative from Bangladesh* agrees that your phone is messed up and suggests you head to your nearest T-Mobile to get that shit checked out?  Or when you go to a store and the lady's all, are you looking for anything specific?  And you're all, yeah a [insert something incredibly simple here, like a little back dress].  And the sales lady is all, oh...

My itty-bitty blog was featured!  :) http://blog.nj.com/jerseyblogs/2009/12/jersey_shore_bloggers_on_wheth.html Totes had no idea until I decided to investigate the inexplicable jump in traffic my blog experienced recently.  I'm flattered NJ.com, truly. <3 always, t...

There are many things I am good at, but I am exceptional at wanting things.  I desire some things to the point that it's quite embarrassing to detail.  My current obsession? On the train I daydream of re-reading classics and shamelessly divulging in trashy novels.  I gaze into my patent bowling bag and imagine how neatly it would fit in my purse, marvelously standing out in its hot pink Kate Spade case, begging to be opened and perused. And to torture me even further, the Barnes...

When I first heard about MTV's The Jersey Shore, I had no intentions on doing a commentary.  Because what is there really to say?  Stereotypical or not, these people truly exist; it's only way this show can exist.   And as a girl who grew up in New Jersey and now attends classes in Staten Island, the mecca of all things guido, I'm one of the few people who can attest to that.  For what it's worth, I watched the premiere and I was glued to the TV for the full two hours. ...

Macy's extra 25% off and free shipping ends tonight!  Promo code: MACYSFRIEND.  For those of you who have had that pricey item sitting on your wishlist forever, now's the time to scoop it up! Meanwhile, I probably won't make the deadline, but I'm digging through the site for a not so boring black dress for my friend's "All Black Everything" affair.  Thanks Jay-Z, btw, for critically reducing what I'm allowed to wear out these days.  Shit. Candidates? <3 always, tee [images...

EXHALE. Oh, hai.  I usually can't stand updates because I think if you're gonna do something you should just do it and your actions will speak for themselves. But obviously it's okay if I do it. But really, I feel like I have to explain the awkward state my blog is in.  Please don't think I actually like it this way; it's under construction.  This is completely attributed to the fact that this semester is kicking me in my oh, wait, I may actually have to do this assignment ass. ...

So I just changed from IE to Firefox.  And holy fucking shit it is better. I am a heavy user of second chances. I find it hilarious that for Gossip Girl's fake Bella from fake Twilight, they picked another chick who can't act, too. Why do the express trains always come to a screeching halt at Canal St and roll incredibly slow through Franklin? Is Franklin St. in danger of collapsing? Speaking of trains, will they ever re-open Cortland St? Remember when the people on those MTV dating shows used to be good looking? Well, they're...

I don't buy this whole celibacy bit.  It ain't about shit.  Ask someone why they're celibate or more importantly when they plan on breaking that stride they'll reply "I'm tired of games, I'm waiting for something bigger" or something to that extent. Bitch, if you took that mentality from the get you wouldn't be in the position where you had to take a break from smashing randoms.  I could've told you your ass when you were 14 that wasn't going to find you love.  Or something bigger.  Fin. <3 always, t...
