Happy Halloween

This might be the cutest halloween pair I've seen in awhile.

A Trip Down October Memory Lane

This month NE and I shared our 3rd year with the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure.

I would like to take a minute and share our memories with you:

2007

2008

2009

We are quite the team when it comes to saving boobs!

I'm happy to know that we have may more years to come of race day shenanigans.

*I'm also glad the LL signature "arm on the hip pose" is still around.

Weekend Off

October has been a crazy month when it comes to the weekends, but this weekend...I get a break!

The only things on my agenda include sleeping in, Halloween costume searching with BARS, some painting with Steph and football.

I cant wait!

Remeber last weekend when I rode a bike and a lot of people had a hard time believing it?

Well, here's proof.

I actually did pretty decent (once I learned how to use the pedals).

Bad Hair Day?

So remember that day (today) when I was thinking about what I would look like with a totally different hairstyle?
And remember that day (today) when I decided to go on instyle.com and do a hair makeover?
And remember how I laughed so hard that it might be rude of me not to share the results with you?
So, here you go.

Ok first... ever imagine what I would look like with Reese Witherspoon hair?

Up next, this is what I would look like if Disney cast me to star in HSM4 like Vanessa Hudgens:

I am still contemplating my Halloween costume but if the Sarah Palin thing is still a funny idea, I wold totally work the updo.

Oh! Here's what I would look like if I rocked it out with Jay Z and Kanye with my Rhianna mohawk:

If I were into kissing girls like Katy Perry, it would look a little like Betty Boop.

And lastly (and the funniest) is the uncanny resemblance I have to Kate Gosselin. Ick.

So, who thinks I should make an appointment at the salon?!

Lets Hear it for the Boobs

Sunday afternoon my beautiful, large and growing more every year family celebrated the 11th year of my lovely Auntie Kathleen's ass kicking on breast cancer by participating in the City of Hope Walk for Hope.

This has become an annual tradition and it amazes me every year how many people come out and show support!

It's in an absolutely great feeling to see so many people coming together for one fantastic cause!

Here is a pic of the entire group this year:

Now for the drama on the 5k walk.

It started with 5 friends on a mission.

A mission to kick the crap out of the asphalt and the cancer.

Here we are reveling in our glory and smiling about how impressed we are with each other for getting out of bed so early and having the extra 10 minutes to stop at starbucks and even have taken the time to put on makeup and brush our teeth/hair.

I know, we are that cool!

As the walk progressed, the competitive nature in all of us came out.

This was no longer a leisurely stroll through half a parking lot and half a zoo: this was a full on race!
Raymond already told us he was so fast he wasn't allowed to enter the actual race.

And, since my ankles were free and clear of any extra fabric that would normally slow me down, I was convinced I was equally as fast.

Stephanie was amped up on her iced venti latte,

NE with the extra 15 minutes of sleep she got since she was not driving that morning,

and Kelly insistant that her angles and good lighting will do magic in anything she does.

So, the race was on!

AND IT WAS A PHOTO FINISH:

Next year, I'm totally gonna win!

Glamour October 2009

Recently, I've been totally obsessed with fashion magazines.

I think it's because whenever I've had a really bad day lately, it happens to be that when I check my mailbox there will be one of the many that get delivered to the house... just sitting there waiting for me.

Smiling at me and taunting me at the same time.

Oh the joy on the days that 2 will get delivered on THE SAME DAY!

I bet you're saying "yeah great. but what does this have to do with me?".

(Yes, I imagine you speak without using upper case letters)

Well, the magazines inspired me to do themed blog posts.

I imagine that once a month (more if I feel like it) I will pick one of the magazines and post some of my favorite things from it.

Do with it what you will.

I just thought I would give you some insight as to what I'm drawn to in magazines!

And, its another chance for me to showcase my sweet photoshop skills.

So to start:

GLAMOUR Magazine, October 2009

It's no secret that LL LOVES LEGGINGS!

Guess what?!

SO DOES GLAMOUR!

It's right there, in large print, for NE and everyone else to read and weep!

I love the leopard print with the embellished dress even though I could never pull it off.

And, the Gossip Girl in the sparkley leggings with the plain white tee?

GENIOUS!

Sorry guys, the leggings will be back for LL this fall.

The past few weeks I am certain I have been dreaming of ankle boots.

Like way more than a regular gal should dream about ankle boots.

In fact, today I got a new order from ShoeDazzle.com (that's right. a Kim K plug) for a pair of black suede ankle boots that should arrive sometime next week.

Woot!

But, imagine them in purple with an outfit involving a cardi and look what you get:

I just fainted thinking about myself wearing that outfit!

This was on the back page of the mag and I think its cute because it reminds me of all my great girlfriends!

And lastly,

Stephwana and I recently spent an entire afternoon, that rolled into an evening, which then rolled into drinks and boys, playing a little game called "Would You Rather...?"

Essentially, it's a game where you take two random people and decided who you would rather sleep with.

Like this: WOULD YOU RATHER have sex with Mike Tyson or Shaq.

(You don't have to tell me your answer. I'll leave that up to the imagination)

Well, once the booze and boys were added the game turned into "Do One. Date One. Marry One."

I know I'm quite the trendsetter.

And apparently Stephwana is too.

Because look at this article that was also in the GLAMOUR:

And YES, that does say to MARRY Jay Z. :)
