Lind$ay + Ke$ha = BFF

03/03/2010 in Britney Spears, What we're Listening To by Lindsay | 7 comments

I have a pretty huge girl crush on Ke$ha… 

I mean, she’s a bit on the trashy side compared to my other girl crushes – but she’s got some serious attitude and I’m digging it.  Ke$has (pronounced KESH-a) is like a really bad girl version of Katy Perry.  She’s like a highly functioning clone of Britney Spears in her psycho era.  (Love you, Brit!  Glad you’re back to normal.)  She’s had a hard life, too, even living in her car at one point.  Admittedly, Ke$ha need a hair brush + she might be a little crazy….she broke into Prince’s house a few years ago to give him a demo.  But, I guess we all have our moments…  Whatever.  Who am I to judge?  To me, Ke$ha kind of epitomizes the starving artist who moved to L.A. to make it big…but she actually did.  And, she’s way young – only 21 years old.  That in itself is pretty impressive. 

I dig the dollar sign in her name, and for the purpose of this post I’ve adopted it in mine.  Ke$ha refers to her style as “garbage-chic” – Keith Richards is her inspiration – and I have to say, I kind of dig it.  I’d probably never model my personal fashion after hers, but I appreciate her unique look.  I also like the Clockwork Orange inspired make-up she sports around her right eye. 

Her song, “Tik Tok,” is excellent for my elliptical workouts and is always stuck in my head.  According to Billboard, “Tik Tok” is the longest running number one debut single by a female artist since 1977.  Way to go, Ke$ha!  Also, today I saw the music video for “Blah Blah Blah” and it’s as awesome as the song.  A little punk + a little rap + mostly nonsense + lots of attitude.  I like it. 

Although I am positive that Britney will never be replaced in my iPod, I’ve really enjoyed adding this bad girl to my playlists.  Listening to her music helps me to “wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy…” 

xx, Lind$ay

“WE LOVE YOU BRITNEY!”

09/05/2009 in Britney Spears, Downtown, Hotels, What we're Doing, What we're Watching by Lindsay | 1 comment

All of the sudden it was Friday – the night we’ve been waiting for was finally upon us!  L and I went to BRITNEY SPEARS last night at Philips arena and it was (wait for it – wait for it)….INCREDIBLE!  Here’s our night in pictures:

Getting ready for Brit!

Everyone had a great time!

Especially us!!

...Especially us!!

Synopsis: We had so much fun at Britney and the show was amazing!  L’s favorite part was all of the media Britney used on stage – and I liked the carnies who performed during her numerous costume changes.  The Princess of Pop lip-synced, but we didn’t feel like it compromised the show at all because the dancing was awesome and she really worked each of the four corners of the stage.  There definitely was not a bad seat in the house.  Brit’s wardrobe was very skimpy and the show was a little oversexed, but I think it’s just part of her appeal.  She’s obviously shed everything that was ever Disney about her - and now, as a mother of two, she can wear bedazzled lingerie on stage and be as fabulous as ever! 

L and I finished off the evening w/ drinks at the swanky W Downtown.  The bar area was about as bumping as the concert, if I do say so myself!

Thanks, Britney, for an awesome show! 

xx, L

Below are my four favorite Britneys.  Help me decide which one I should should be for the show:

Where ARE the Wild Things?

07/30/2009 in Britney Spears, Random Musings, What we're Watching by Lindsay | 4 comments

I’ve been very patient, but I have to say that I absolutely cannot wait until this movie finally comes out!
where-the-wild-things-are-poster
Here are four reasons why:
1) Love Spike Jonze
2) Catherine Keener is in it and I pretty much adore her.
3) I heart the Arcade Fire trailer.  Heart it!
4) Maurice Sendak is one of my favorite children’s authors. 
(Thanks to my upper division Kiddie Lit class at Texas.)
 
My #2 favorite blog (after thisiswhyyourefat.com) totally outted me when they wrote this:   http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2009/07/13/127-where-the-wild-things-are/ 
 
Also, Tim Burton is my #3 favorite director (after Wes Anderson and Baz Luhrmann) and I’ve been hearing buzz for AIWL for a while.  I think it is going to be fantastic!

I really want to see Funny People tomorrow night, but I can’t find anyone to go with me.  Sad.  (On another note, if anyone wants to see Britney Spears when she is back in town - let me know.  Similar problem…) 
 
Aside from being a huge Judd Apatow fan, just look at this cast: Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman (love him!).

Finally, Slick and I watched Bolt on Tuesday and I TOTALLY LOVED it.  It’s the cutest ever!  Still laughing at the pigeons.

That’s all I’ve got for now.

Who Says I Can’t Be Forever 21?

07/07/2009 in Britney Spears, Guilty Pleasures, Jewelry, Random Musings, Tricks of the Trade, Where we're Shopping by Lindsay | 6 comments

Karen, my shopping sponsor, is a very busy lady – eagerly pursuing her physician’s assistant degree at Emory and traveling back and forth from Hilton Head to enjoy sunny weekends. However, she will readily accept an urgent phone call from me whenever I find myself in Perimeter Mall (what am I doing there anyway – I live in MIDTOWN) and about to walk into my guilty pleasure, Forever 21.

Karen reminds me that I am no longer 21 (unfortunately, far from), that I already have sunglasses in 12 different shades and that I don’t have a crush on a Jonas brother – so what do I think I am doing in there?? Initially, I understand her reasoning. Generally speaking, the clothes are cheaply made in scary places like Vietnam and constructed for pre-teens with boy-shaped bodies. BUT, as soon as I glance around the store and spot neon fringe, I am quickly drawn inside like a magnet lured to Forever 21’s countless metallic racks.

Some days are better than others. Today was amazing. Truly amazing. One hour and a medium Yoforia (how do they keep the fruit so fresh?) later, my closet is about to look like a Kanye West video. (And, yes, I got my 13th shade of the same sunglasses.) While I walked away with some cute work clothes, a fun bubble dresses (Slick loves them) and a few more pairs of leggings, my best finds were in the jewelry section. Please see Exhibit A below:

Exhibit A

Exhibit A

(Sorry, there is not an Exhibit B…)

I think Forever must have just had a shipment, because they had so many great summer clothes. Run, don’t walk, run to Perimeter!

It’s okay if you aren’t obsessed with Harry Potter (like me), Britney Spears (like me) or Twilight (like me) – the pre-teen dressing room discussions can be easily ignored and the young-ins on their summer vacation will only see you in your schnazzy work clothes and aspire to be as put-together-looking as you one day. Plus, I had just purchased a dress at Sage that I swear I saw at Forever for half the price.

I told you so.

I’m just saying that…

07/07/2009 in Britney Spears, Maintenence, Product by Lindsay | 5 comments

…I smell like a rock star. I’m not kidding. I really do! Ask anyone who has smelled me!

Here’s a brief breakdown of my aromatic evolution:

Junior High: “CK One” by Calvin Klein & “Om” by GAP

High School: “Happy” by Clinique

College: Lolita Lempicka (still one of my favorites)

Early 20’s: “Light Blue” by Dolce & Gabbana

Mid-20’s: “Rush” by Gucci

Now: (drum roll please…) “Fantasy” by Britney Spears

You may be asking yourself – “how could something like this happen?” Well, I spotted the jeweled bottle on the dresser of a girl I babysat for and just had to try it on. I assumed it was going to smell like bubble gum and Teen Spirit, but surprisingly, I loved it! I did some serious thinking and ran to CVS with my hard-earned babysitting money to get a bottle of my own.

Listen, those of you who know me knew that something like this was bound to happen. It’s no surprise to anyone that I am just a little obsessed with Princess Brit, but I NEVER thought I would buy a celebrity-promoted perfume. So not PLU! However, I’ve learned that it’s more important for a perfume to mix well with your chemistry than it is telling someone that you wear an icky-smelling designer perfume for the sake of it being designer. When you boil it down, I’m just not that prissy.

On a bi-weekly basis, I have coworkers, store clerks and complete strangers ask me about my perfume. I proudly tell them that it’s from the Princess of Pop, herself. (I even spotted a bottle in my roommate’s bathroom. I live with her and she can smell it on me every day. Still, she liked it so much she bought it for herself!) AND, it’s sold at your local CVS (spotted it at the one on North Highland) or Kohl’s for around $30. Hello, it’s a recession, people! Enjoy!
