The Last Week (or so) In Pix / 2x2

I know, I know. It's been awhile. I'm so sorry!

My excuse is either

a) I've been busy or

b) I've been lazy.

I'll let you pick.

I have a lot of shameless pictures of myself with semi-famous people from the #GBKOscars2013 suite. Get excited!

Ben Schwartz and Josh Lawson from #House of Lies. These guys are really funny. I can't imagine how they work together everyday on set.

Khandi Alexandar is BEAUTIFUL! And she said she liked my hair.

Gregg Henry is playing with the blowdryer...and my hair. I'm not sure about his face. But this was pretty funny.

This, my friends, is my new husband. Mizinga Mwinga. He is...attractive. I mean, come on, look at this guy. And he's so sweet to boot! We spent a few minutes talking about his sister and her hair and how the dryer can really be good for her and how he will be the best brother ever and how she would love me as a sister-in-law and how we're in love and we will be running away together and -

wait, where am I?

This is DJ Baby Chino. This kid is ADORABLE!!! He's a talented DJ and he's just too cute for his own good. Seriously, he's just too much. If I can't make it work with Mizinga I could just wait for this kid to grow up.

Yep, I took that too far.

+Starbucks Coffee wished my Happy Birthday. Yay! #TwitterFamous

And then I received my Gold Card! Cold, hard proof of my addiction.

2x2

Last Week I Learned

1) Again I've learned not to put all my 'eggs in one basket' so-to-speak.

2) Flossing is suuuuuper important.

This Week I'm Looking Forward To

1) Girls Night on Friday!

2) Filter Mag Party (aka open bar madness) on Saturday!

Cold War Kids iHeart Radio Album Release Party - My Quick Opinions

I've seen the Cold War Kids twice now, and my favorite thing about seeing them is they love to let people see them for free in Los Angeles. A free show is always the right idea. This time I got to see them at the iHeart Radio stage in Burbank, California. It's a very cool space, and the staff is super nice. Part of this iHeart Radio streaming party was a line of questioning from iHeart Radio personality. It was cool to hear lead singer Nathan Willett talk about his love for Los Angeles and desire to use their new album, LA Divine, to set the record straight about the city's perception. He told Billboard the album is "the best version of what [they've] always done," and I agree. There's nothing particularly outstanding about the new album. There's no new, adventurous sound. The freshest thing about LA Divine is the effect the tumultuous year that was 2016 had on the lyrics. For example, Nathan told an amazing story about an art piece in New ...

Mrs. without the "r."

Of course I'm a feminist. Not that that needs explaining, but I absolutely believe in equal treatment and opportunities for both sexes. But being a feminist doesn't mean I burn bras every Tuesday night. I still adhere to a number of not-so-feminist-friendly traditions. For example, I hate taking the trash out. That's a "man's" job. I take the trash out when I must, but if I can ask Jersey Mike to do it , well that's just 10 times better. Typically, for me, a man's job is any job I don't want to do. Maybe that's not quite a tradition (more me leaning on societal norms to feed my laziness). But there's one tradition that, growing up, I always thought I'd be fine: Taking my husband's last name. My mother kept her maiden name when she married my father. She was born a Shute and felt that shouldn't have to change just because she found a cool guy to spend her life with. Growing up it wasn't confusing for me u...

The music died with Prince today

Today I had a breakdown at work. Like a damn fool. I had a horrible night, woke up exhausted, and decided to remain unplugged until I got to work. I wanted to take the morning slowly. I arrived at the office, sat down in my first meeting and heard "I'm just so sad about the news. We're going to write a few things about Prince today, Doriean are you able to do that?" So I'm sitting there like a dumbass asking "What happened?" Then it hit me. Maybe that wasn't the flu that caused Prince's plane to land suddenly last week. Maybe something was really wrong. Because he's gone. So then I'm listening to my assignments, trying to wrap my brain around selecting the best Prince songs (impossible). I'm talking like nothing is happening but tears are streaming. My editor asks if I need a minute and I run to the bathroom and bawl like an infant. I've been trying to listen to music all day. But nothing compa...
