Wednesday, November 30. 2011

Last day of November........

Already? Jeeeez, time goes so fast! Does it start going faster when you get older OR has time in fact started to speed up?
I heard a theory about that on Coast To Coast AM, had something to do with 2012 and the end of times.
I remember the first couple of summer breaks in between school when I was little, they seemed to be going on forever, not anymore!
I am going to send out all my Christmas gifts pretty soon, I got almost everything bought, only a few things left. But I still need to take care of the
Christmas cards. Every year I get overwhelmed with all the people that I have on my list for either a gift, a card or both. I feel like Santa, lol.
I have a list. But I love giving, it is exciting to think of something to give to another person and it feels good to make somebody else happy.
Every year I promise myself that I will cut down a little but I usually don't.
Then I have to give to kids that need gifts too, at least two gifts, for a boy and a girl. And then I need to donate cat and dog food to the local animal
shelter. If I don't, I feel guilty.
I like Yuletide with Christmas music on the radio, it is nice to drive around and see how others decorate their yards, houses and put lights up.
All my Christmas stuff is in Vegas, so I don't think that I will have a tree this year, I don't want to accumulate even more decorations and ornaments, I have a bunch already.
Hopefully I will use it all next year. Stockholm, Sweden is sooooo nice around Christmas time, especially if there's snow.
Walking around Gamla Stan (Old Town) that time of year is magical.
Sitting down at a café in Gamla Stan to warm up with a latte and some warm blueberry pie with vaniljcreme is the best.



But it seems like many do not share the spirit of Christmas.
Many dread the crowds and the long lines, others fear gaining weight, some fear going into debt and others dread "having to be nice".
Well, that's why I have 80 % of my shopping done already, I get things throughout the year and put it away for Christmas.
And as far as "being nice".......I can't stand fake smiles and pretend personalities, yuck.
Just be yourself already, everybody can have a bad day and some pms. Stay home or avoid mingling then if you don't want
to "be nice" - whatever THAT is supposed to mean. Or up your meds. Take an extra bong hit
I never understood the whole fake personality thing, that is probably why I have been called blunt and a bitch countless of times but whaaaaatever,
I take that as a compliment. At least I am not fake. And once I am your friend, I am a good and loyal friend. That gives Christmas gifts.

Recap Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Ok.......first I was kind of thinking that all the girls were really skinny, but then I remembered how skinny I was in my teens.
Yes, some of the "angels" in the show are teenagers. My friend Yolanda just read my blog and one of her comments to me was
that I am too skinny. Well, I was probably at least 10 - 15 lbs lighter in my teens, without trying.
Now I am more normal, I wish I could be as skinny now as I was at 18 but that would take too much effort.
Probably an elimination of pastries amd ice cream, can't do that!
Very skinny legs and narrow hips on the girls in the show. And of course, some of them diet and work out weeks before the show, why wouldn't they?
I would too if I would be walking that runway.
But even at that, I think that Karlie Kloss is too skinny for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
And not that pretty, she is more high fashion I think. Like her upcoming spread in Vogue.
They claim that the Victoria's Secret girls are more "voluptuos", well maybe compared to the girls that do high fashion in NY and Milano, but only by five lbs tops,
the girls in the show were all super skinny.
My faves were Miranda, Adriana and Doutzen. Did Miranda really squeeze out a baby?
From where did that baby come out?
I always thought that Allesandra didn't belong in the show, to me she has a manly face somehow.
My fave fashion moment was the PINK fashion, it was cute, fun and rave-y. I liked it very much.
But too many cutesy blowing kisses and winking eyes from the girls, they all do the same thing and need to come up with something new.
Like flip the camera off or something.
Kanye needs to go away, he is painfully embarrassing and his pants looked bad.
I think Nikki Minaj is cute but I don't like her rapping and her exaggerated face expressions, she is trying so hard to be different and edgy
and bla bla bla but it doesn't quite hit home. It's too much, less is more sometimes.
Look at Adele for example, sure her style is miles from Nikki's but she comes across as so much more.
Anyways, I love models, fashion shows and runways.
