Fav TV shows

People often come to me for my sound advice in fashion, shopping, eats, snarkyness and the like.

I'm a public service worker, it's my duty to help those in need. So in the spirit of the holidays I've decided to share my favorite shows. I look forward to your comments to see whether you agree or disagree or have any other suggestions. Remember nothing too cerebral. Now, make an assessment!

1. True Blood - it's in Season 5, on in June. It's about Vampires, Humans, Werewolves and all things supernatural. It's like a sexy, scandalous, freaky soap opera with lots of hubba hubba and bom chicka bow wow. Based on novels by Charlaine Harris (which are also awesome). On HBO.
2. The Walking Dead - it's in Season 2, currently on hiatus until 2/12 so you have ample time to catch up. It's about.... Zombies. Once you get past the zombie plot, it's really a character study on human nature and what people do under adversity. Pretty interesting to see all the characters and their growth. On AMC.
3. American Horror Story - Season 1 just finished this December. It's about people in haunted houses. It's dark and delish and chaulk full of death and mayhem. I don't want to give too much away. On FX.
4. Once Upon a Time - Season 1. A twist on the classic fairy tales focusing on Snow White and the Evil Queen. Great stories and characters and is one of the only shows on my list you can watch with kids. On ABC, back on 1/8.
5. Shameless - it's in Season 2, revamp of British show about drunk slacker dad, and his family focusing on their antics to make ends meet. Really good story especially in lieu of the current economic situation. On Showtime, back on 1/8.
6. Game of Thrones - it's in Season 2, really kick ass story about the Stark family and the politics/kingdoms of their land. It has a dark, fantasy, medieval feel. There is much scheming, treachery, and fighting. On HBO, back on 4/15.
7. Hell on Wheels - Season 1. About the building the railroads in the wild west, it's really good. There's a soldier, a freedman, indians,and a greedy railroad tycoon. It's hella good. On AMC.

hello goodbye... 2012 it's on

LIAR

so that shopping hiatus didn't really last long.

I think I'm going through a mid life crisis. I went out and bought leather pants and dyed my hair blue. It really looks black but there are small streaks of blue in the bottom back where I bleached it out. I need to bleach it more. I don't think most people do that for a mid life crisis. Perhaps I need a sports car?

Anyways I hung out with my sole mate - Tam and we went to the Nanette Lepore store, Saks Fifth Avenue and Loehmanns. I scored some kool digs like a black Rebecca Minkoff knot dress for $124 (normally $300) and leather pants - Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti for $140 (normally $1000). It was fun, my credit card hates or loves me. My bank account hates me. I've decided whatever preconcieved notions I had about being an adult and getting old are just that. I need to seize the day and enjoy life as it is right now. Look great, wear kick ass clothes, take trips and be with the ones I love. If you only have one life, better enjoy, right?

So I'm going to step it up a notch, I mean I can't wear 5 inch heels when I'm 60. or can I?

Shoe hiatus - honest engine!!

yeah so I ended the year helping the economy. I know .. I know, I'm so freakin thoughtful, trying to save the world and all but it's hard to be me.

the presssure, stress... blaa blaa.

anyways I've rewarded myself with a couple of shoes... (I know.. shocker). They are kinda my last 'supper' shoes because I'm going to see if I can NOT buy shoes, clothes or accessories until my birthday. Maybe I will start with a realistic goal like a month then move it up to 2 or 3. PLUS the rule is I can't spend any money - cash or credit cards. But I CAN use gift cards - so it's not like I'm going to go completely without.

I decided since the world is ending (for a little bit) and I'm trying to be good - that I would buy some funky shoes to brighten up my days. So I opted for the below - Zombie Stomper shoes by ironfistclothing.com, regular version are colorful, the other black and white type version GLOW IN THE DARK, and I also got platform pumps with cartoon guts and gore on them (not shown). If I can abstain from buying items for three months then it would balance the three shoes. Isn't three supposed to be a lucky number? :)
