Happy Everything


Hi Sugarboogers.  I just wanted to photobomb you with some Christmas bubbness.  I am going to take some much needed and well deserved time off from the blog for the holidays.  I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my Britneylovingheart for being the best sparklegemawesomeness friends that any girl could ask for.  I am giving everyone a unicorn and honorary membership to the SF chapter of the Britney Spears Sparkle Club for Christmas.  So, congrats.  I will keep you posted on chapter meetings and cool points.


Ziggy on the other hand has a yule log for all of you.  He has been harvesting them for months and showed it to me in the backyard.  He was so proud...I on the other hand was mortified Mandy.  It went like this:

Zig: Hey Mom.  I got something for our readers.

Me: Ziggy!  That is so kind of you.  You are such a sweet and thoughtful boy.

Zig: It's in the backyard, can you come look?

Me: Zig, what is this?

Zig: Yule logs.  I heard they are customary at this time of year.

Me: Bro, those are not yule logs.  Did you think that you could just produce yule logs from your body all of the sudden?

Zig: Yes.

Me: The answer is no bubba.  That is poop.  You can't give poop to people for Christmas.  

Zig: Yes you can.

Me:  Actually...

Yuletide greetings, 

Angie & Ziggy

Such A Clatter

This is all I have for you today, because really, when Ryan Gossling is in a video winking, I know I could never compete.  Hold onto your ovaries, ladies. (NSFW - Language) Also, this is why you shouldn't get wasteyfaced during the holidays, or ever, really.




I can't even hate Eva Mendes.  She is sofakinggorgeous...And then The Goss winks and is all "Hey, girl."  And then an my biological clock starting ringing superduperloudly in my ear that I may go deaf. 

Bowl full of jelly.

Party time. Excellent

Ciao people.  This is going to be a real quick post because I have about 12 trilliion things to do in this Christmas week, but I wanted to share some extra photos from the Mira, Mira & Rue party at Photobooth SF last week.  I am so happy that A: I was able to pull my best Carrie Bradshaw and shove a bird into the side of my head and B: I got to drag my brother to a blogger event.  I made a calculated decision this year that instead of buying multiple party dresses, that I would buy one statement piece for all of my holiday parties and remix it in different ways, so, when I saw this kermit green skirt on Poshmark, I knew it had to be mine.  I have to say, the following was the most celebrated of the ways that I have styled this skirt.  Besides, if I can ever get away with rocking a skirt that looks like a green traffic light, this would be the occasion.  Sparkles and luxe fur were the most popular choices of the night for some of SF's most fashion forward population.

Skirt: Asos via: Poshmark.  Shoes: Michael Kors.  Cuff: Ann Taylor. 


Gold nails?  Why not? Image via Adiel

With Adiel, Anthony, and Jeanne and her lovely hubs.

Anthony is obviously having a blast while roaddoggin it.  The embodiment of class.


Christmas Cheer.

What Is Making You Smile Thursday


Hi Friends.  It's What Is Making You Smile Thursday and since my bro is here, I am going to exploit him as much as I can to snag content.  We sat down and did the good 'ol accent vlog for your enjoyment.  The only thing that this proves is that I can't speak well. 


Say the following words:
Aunt, route, wash, oil, theater, iron, salmon, caramel, fire, water, sure, data, ruin, crayon, toilet, New Orleans, pecan, both, again, probably, spitting image, Alabama, lawyer, coupon, mayonnaise, syrup, pajamas, caught
Answer these questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that curls into a ball when you touch it?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you use to change the TV channel?

Also, I was able to steal Anthony away from dropping such classic lines on ladies such as: "While I was horseback riding through Mongolia I looked up at this breathtaking vista..." and snagged our holiday photo for our family at PhotoboothSF last night.  Also, I wore a bird in my head and it was magnificent.


DAYUMMM, GINA!

Anything But Basic


Happy Monday fools.  What's crack-a-lackin?  My brother got here on Friday from China and will be here until Saturday, so, if things are a little quiet around this front, that is why.  How are y'all holding up through the holiday season?  Why is it that the month of December seems to fly by?  I mean I was all cooking capon for Thanksgiving yesterday and now all of a sudden, I looked at my watch today and was all:  "holyunicornballz, it's December 11!  I only have 13 more shopping days."  And then I realized that I didn't change the date because I forgot that 30dayshasnovember.  And then my head nearly exploded. 
Wearing: Dress: BCBG via Stitch Fix. Jacket: Marc Jacobs.  Shoes: Dolce Vita. Cuff: Loft.  Necklace: Marc Jacobs. 

PdotS: I love this outfit real hard and long time.  Please keep in mind, that two things are working against me here: 1- Bad lighting happens to good people.  2- I lost my frenchman photog in my job change.  I promise to restage this outfit with some proper camera action. 


OK, Britneystylesparkleprincesses, remember when ish got real around  here and I confessed that I realized that most of you hang around this bloggity for updates on Ziggy and The Mister?  Well, I have a bigfathuge Mister update for you!  He is offering a smokinhotdeal on Bloomspot for Personal Training and Bootcamps.  So, if you live anywhere in the Yay Area and are wanting to give yourself or someone else the gift of fitness (Because who is really going to hate a firm ass so hard they return it?  It's a #winning gift) take advantage of this offer.  I promise you won't regret it.  Plus I will love you forever and buy you a BFF necklace and we can each wear a half.  See, you can totally buy my friendship!  So, then it becomes this gift that just keeps giving and giving and giving.  


BTW, want to follow The Mister on twitter for on the fly Mister's Rules, or workout inspo?  You can catch him at @jsolitto  also, you can fan him on Facebook if you'd like.

Get down and give me 20!!!!!!!!!!

What Is Making You Smile Thursday

Hello Friends.  A huge thank you to everyone for all the support yesterday in my "The Incident" post.  I am nothing if not tenacious, so, I know that everything will work out, it's just a matter of breathing and being patient.  I will let y'all know how everything shakes out.  Now, onto way more muyimportante things, such as What is making us all smile today.

First up is my Christmas Wishlist.  Pinterest is, in my humble opinion God's gift to men for what to buy women for momentous occasions.  I have been keeping up with my "pinning" pretty regularly, since the time is getting close for all my mistletoe dreams to come true.  I have one rule for Christmas and birthdays.  That rule is, if your man doesn't buy you something that sparkles, it's time to kick him to the curb.  As you can see my list has just enough edge and sparkle to make me a happy lady.


My Christmas Wishlist

OK, onto the youtubery.  I could honestly watch the following video about a million times back to back and it make me laugh every time.  I can't tell if this puppy is a polar bear or a lab...either way, he is freaking adorbs.



Finally, Nessa clearly knows my feelings about the homeless, so she sent me the following video.  I do love her.


So there you have it.  I hope you are all having a fabulous Thursday.  Stay tuned tomorrow for some more of  The Mister's picks of what to get your man for the holidays.

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree.

Act Like A Fool

Alright everyone.  I am going to warn you now about two things.  1: The following story is not one of my shining moments. 2: You should probably pee or grab a Depends before you read this.  Whatever is more convenient for you. Anything in caps was actually yelled.

If you all have been reading this blog for longer than a paragraph I am sure that you have gathered that I am an intense person, however I only get confrontational with people when they mess with my inner circle or my money.  Anyone who messes with either of those things better watch out because I will verbally rip you one so hard that you will need the best plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills to sew your ego back together.  Literally, my eyes roll back into my head and I will channel my mean old Papaw.  People don't know what hit them. It's basically like a really mean tranny takes over my mind because the things I can hurl out of my mouth are completely unparalleled.  


So, this morning, I checked my bank account with, let's call it, Smells Wargo, and a verylargeginormous amount of money that was in my account was no longer accounted for without any explanation or record.  I promptly called my home branch and asked for my branch manager.  I was told he was on paternity leave so, I needed to deal with someone else.  We will call her Whorepitviper from here on out.  Whorepitviper told me that I needed to make an appointment and come in and sit with her, and we can go over everything (this is the first of many mistakes on her part. As Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman: "Big mistake!  HUGE!").  I show up for my appointment and the laundry list of errors made on my account was now tallying up to astronomical proportions.  I was trying to keep my bitchfacesideeye to a minimum. And then whorepitviper said the words that she will regret for the rest of her life: "It seems as though your transfer went to an account in Indiana, so, there is nothing we can do about it." The following shall be forever known as the incident:

Me:  "Excuse me.  What did you just say?"

WPV: "Your transfer went through on Monday to the account you specified to Cletus the Slackjawed Yokel in Indiana." (Mistake 2)

Me: "Who in the flyingF is Cletus the Slackjawed Yokel and why would I be sending him money through transfers."

WPV: "Well, Mrs. P, why would I know why you would transfer him money."

Me: "Mrs. P, lives in Kentucky and you are going to pray to everythinggoodandbritney that you were dealing with her because she is a sweet Catholic woman.  I am neither sweet nor in Kentucky.  You dumbwhorepitviper.  I don't know who that person is and sure as all hell did not intend for them to have my hard earned money.  So push control alt delete or whatever you need to do to reverse that."

WPV: "I can't.  I don't have that authority and you could be committing fraud."

Me (my neck has fully spun around like the exorcist at this point): "You F'ing moron.  If you can't do it, then get me someone who will.  You are too stupid for me to be dealing with, anyways.  You may as well have  worn your ass as a hat to work because you are about that useless. GET ME YOUR MANAGER!!!!!!!!!"

WPV:  "Did I mention to you that any time your account goes below $7,000 we charge you $150?"  (Mistake 3)


Me: "WTF, DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME.  I AM NOT COMPREHENDING."

WPV: "Every time your account goes below $7,000 we charge you $150."

Me to the entire bank.  I am now standing up: "Excuse me, but how many of you have $7,000 in their personal checking account?" No one answers.  "Good, I would like you all to know that Whore Pit Viper, over here, is charging you $150 every time it goes below $7,000."  "WPV, you are clearly not a bright person, and I am clearly redhotpissed at you right now.  What is going to happen in the next 30 seconds is that you are going to reverse all of those charges, and get my money out of Cletus' account and note it to my account."

WPV: "I can't do that."

Me: "Why?  Did you suddenly get struck with paralysis in your fingers?  DO IT THIS SECOND!" 

WPV: "I don't have the authority."

Me: "Well, get me someone who does."

WPV: "I am the assistant manager."

Me: "What does this useless information have to do with me? Get whomever on the phone that will fix this."

WPV: "Ma'am, can you lower your voice?  You are scaring and offending the other customers."

Me:  "You are absolutely right.  Everyone should be frightened to the point of peeing their pants, that a functioning idiot, as yourself, is in charge of their money. "(Here is where things take a left turn down the craycray railroad) "Get your regional manager on the phone right this second or I will go down to Market Street and get those hippies over at Occupy SF to come down here and wreck the joint.  I punctuated this statement by spitting on the floor of the Smells Wargo.  ***It should be noted that I have no idea what Occupy does.  I just assumed that it's the one thing a bank branch doesn't want going down.  The Mister informed me that they would just come and pitch tents in the lobby.  I thought for sure there would be some outrageous acts...Apparently I am wrong because all that would have happened is they would have put their hippie stink all over everything...which is no different from the rest of SF."

The next thing I knew I was being taken to a back room by the safe deposit boxes to carry on one of the most mind numbing conversations of my life with the regional manager, AKA: The World's Tallest Midget.  


So, there you have it.  I lost it today.  I don't have all my money back yet, but come hell or high water, I will.  I am also going to a credit union.  I don't feel better about this situation.  But I figured at least one of you will use this story to laugh, and probably more than one of you will use this against me and blackmail me with it. Just so you know, verbally thrashing someone cannot be held against me in a court of law.  I threatened no violence...just hippy stink.

Wooooooooosaw.

blargh

OK, BFFL's.  The past few days have been some of those that tip-toes between stressedthehellout and don'tlookatmelikethatorIwilluglycryface.  Mercury is in full swing retrograde and as per usual it is reaping havoc on your girls life.  There are some may-jah life changes going on right now, so this is absolutely the wrong time for this to be happening.  Anywho, if The Patron Saint of THMWYA, Ms. Britney Jean Spears, has taught me anything in this life, it is that days like this happen and it's ok to pick a horrible outfit, let your fake lashes dangle off your eyes, and uglycryface for the whole world to see.  

Sometimes we want to be left thehellalone:


Sometimes the heft of it all will make you breakdown


Sometimes you just want to hug your puppy and have a good cry in a public place.  Puppies are the bestgoodfriends you will ever have.

Other times you just want to scream at bizzles to get all up out of your grill and let you live.

And then when you are going to have your monster breakdown because you are having a fat day, your manicure is effed, you had an issue with the eyelash adhesive, you ate too much KFC for lunch, your halfwit sister Jaime Lynn dyed your weave orangeishgreen because your mom drank too much swamp water  when she was pregnant with her, and all you want is for everyone to respect your privacy.  You show the world you are just a girl.

Because afterall, we are human, we are given stress and emotions so that when things are good, we appreciate them that much more. So, I feel like I have the go-ahead to have an emotional meltdown and then pull my boot straps up, point the wind machine in my direction, throw on a wedding dress and glitterbomb the world.  Because grrrrrrl, you are stonger than yesterday.


Nothin's gonna stand in my way.

What The Mister Wants

Ok, people. There is only one reason I wouldn't be talking about Britney's 3.0 and that's because, The Mister is back for some good ol' advice giving. He is kinda like Santa, but way hotter. Do any of you ladies have the following conversation with your man around the holidays:
You: "Hey babe, what do you want for Christmas?"
Him: "I don't know. Whatever you want."
You: "Do you still want an iPad?"
Him: "What am I going to do with an iPad."
You: "Literally everything. You can do everything with an iPad. Including but not limited to, playing Angry Birds and managing your fantasy teams." (excellent argument, gurl!)
Him: "Whatever. Just get me whatever you want, or nothing...I really don't care."
And then you find yourself buying him a bottle of Jack and instead of giving it to your boyfriend, you drink it yourself because shopping for guys is like shovingbambooshootsintoyournailbeds. If you buy him clothes and he hates them, then you get your feelings hurt because you think he hates your style...but in all actuality the only dudes that dress like Ryan Gossling, are the guys that want to kiss their boyfriends under the mistletoe. With that being said, over the next few weeks, The Mister is going to bring you the Real Guys Guide To Holiday Gift Giving.
This week we are starting with some clothes. Honestly, during our entire relationship, the Mister has bought 1 pair of jeans, 1 belt, 5 button down shirts, and 8 pairs of shoes. (Dont sideeye me but, I did more than that last week.). With that being said, for him to pull this stuff together is a Christmas miracle.
What are you getting your honey for the holidays? Want the opinion from a guys guy before you pull the trigger on that boomerang? Hit us up.
Happy everything!

What Is Making You Smile Thursday

Yo Yo Yo.  How is it possible that this week flew by so fast?  Moreover, how in the name of Britney is it already December?  This is so bothersome to me.  That is how things are towards the end of the year though...One minute you are sweating your business off in the middle of an Indian Summer and the next thing you know your happyass is under the mistletoe again.  I'm not complaining...I'm just sayin'.  OK, enough of sounding like Old Man Winter over here.  On to the most sparkelriffic day of the week at The Hotness Your Momma Warned You About.  It's FREAKING, What Is Making You Smile Thursday, MoFo's!

Sweater: Handmade Vintage. Belt: Betsey Johnson. Boots: Steve Madden. Top: BBDakota.  Necklace: Marc Jacobs


First off, Dudes, I have to watch X Factor.  It is honestly the only thing that serves as brainbleach after watching American Horror Story (which makes me scream and cry and nearly spill my glass of wine all over my white couch). I love every single person on there except for Chris "lil homey" Rene.  Confession: I want to bite theeverlivingcuteness out of Rachel Crow's cheeks...But Melanie Amaro is deadcereal my heartsong. I could listen to her sing me the phone book.  (This is not to be confused with Wanda Sykes reading me the phone book, which I perceive to be the funniest thing imaginable).  Anyways, Melanie wins the Girrrrrrrl You A West Indian DIVAAAAA award for the week for making me smile with this:





Alright someone out there who reads this blog is in bigeffingtrouble with me.  There is an album out there called "Britney Spears, B In The Mix".  This is an entire album of BJS' best clubbangers MASHEDUP with some hot house beats.  Guess who told me about this?  It wasn't you.  It was godforsaken Pandora!!!!!!!  First of all, I was the one who told you about the Adele/Brit "Rolling Till The World Ends" Mashup and then you all passed it off like you were awesomesauce and that you found it.  Don't make me rip your unicorn horn off. If any of you BFFFFFLLLLLL's hear about a Britney mash-up or remix, I am the first one you tell.  Capici? Don't think I already know about it.  If this happens again, someone is going to become my frenemy quickfastandinahurry.  And we all know what happens when you are my frenemy!  And I know none of you want to have a wedding on TV and end up divorced within 72 days.  Just Sayin!   If you want the Brit Brit remixes, you can get them here.


This is what you all get for that little mistake:


On My Radar.
