All Killer No Filler…A Few Fun Foodie Clips to Hold You until Monday

It’s the weekend, and as you know by now I don’t post any original material on my “days off.” And by “day off” I mean 14 hours of answering emails, and comments, and questions like, “do you have a tasty Vegan recipe for Philly Cheese Steak??” But I do like to post some type of fun, food-related stuff I’ve found during the week. Here are two clips I think you’ll enjoy.

The first is a rather creative food themed “beat box” mix that I thought was well done. Now, even if you don’t like Hip Hop, who doesn’t enjoy seeing an Englishman in a really bad wig? What exactly is it with all the cross-dressing over there? The second clip is another interest of mine, magic tricks, especially ones using food. This is quite the trick and if you know how it was done PLEASE tell me!! By the way, the first clip is dedicated to my cousin Tony Q, and my sister-in-law Jennifer M, and the second clip is dedicated my nephew Alex M. Theyll know why. Enjoy!

Newsflash Not All Redheads Look Like Each Other

{Dress: Zara; Necklace: Spike the Punch; Heels: Antonio Melani--similar; Sunglasses: Thierry Lasry; Lipstick: Nars Schiap topped with Chanel Jalousie}

I wore this amazing Gwyneth Paltrow-wearing-Tom-Ford-at-the-2012-Oscars-esque dress to a friends wedding this weekend. I snatched it up after seeing Jenna mention it for a similar occasion a couple months ago. Little did I know when I threw it on with a bouffant hair-do and a hot pink lip that Id be compared to everyone from Joan Holloway on Mad Men (which I can understand given the retro-ness of the whole look) to the Red Witch on Game of Thrones!

Look--I GET it! Im "classically" beautiful, yaddi yadda yadda. And while I think Christina Hendricks is a beautiful woman, who I might even remind people of, I cant pretend to not be annoyed by a comparison to whomever this is...not because she isnt attractive, but because I dont look anything like her.

For some reason, people look at redheads as though were just one DNA strand away from each other. As if sharing a tinge of coloring automatically renders us each others dopplegangers. Ive gotten all kinds of random comparisons through the years, from Julianne Moore to Kate Winslet, but that Red Witch thing just made me snap! Again, not because the actress that plays her is unattractive, but because at the end of the day, my face looks nothing like ANY of these women. For what its worth, I never drew those comparisons before I started coloring my hair (Spoiler Alert: this isnt my natural color!).

So next time you meet a redhead, dont tell her she looks like Lucille Ball or Debra Messing or Florence Welch (all amazing and gorgeous woman) or some other random Ginger who comes to mind, because the fact of the matter is she probably doesnt and youre just being unoriginal.

Oh, and I wore this dress with pink lipstick to avoid feeling too vintage-y. I guess it didnt work...?

I mean, shit. It could be worse, right? I could be compared to this guy.

The Best Birthday Card of All Time

My friend Chris sent me this sweet birthday card:

Well, cant argue with the truth. Oh, wait...theres more:

I LOLd about this for, oh, Id say a good 3 or 4 minutes. Im talking actual LOLing. And then, in his signature way, Chris concluded his loving note in a way only the two of us could appreciate. Probably.

Love you too. Bitch.
