Twitter Dee...Twitter Dumb


I am twittleliterate. I joined Twitter with the intention of being a voyer. I didn't plan on posting to it or even keeping up with it in real-time. I honestly joined to follow people I know and celebrties just for kicks. The problem is that I have NO IDEA how to read what I am looking at. For example:

trent_reznorRT @dannylohner: wtf?- i just got twittered in the shitter by Tyrannosaurus Reznor!!??;;##
about 7 hours ago from TweetDeck


1. What is "RT @xxx"?
2. What is a TweetDeck?

OK...I got a blog. I got on facebook. But, Twitter? I can see how I would like it, but I don't like that I don't get it.

Great Google-y, I Can See The Ocean!


If you haven't heard, Google Earth now gives us the ability to see the Ocean. It's actually pretty involved. You can view shipwrecks, track animals, see marine reserves, and a lot more. I am loving this. My inner-biologist is very happy. I may not scuba dive anymore, and I never persued marine biology,but it will always be near and dear to my heart. You can download it for free by clicking here!

Making Over America with Trinny & Susannah


I am a sucker for make-over shows. It's probably my favorite thing to watch. Last night I discovered a new show on TLC called Making Over America with Trinny & Susannah. It's Ab Fab meets What Not To Wear. These ladies are just as hilarious and out there as Patsy and Edina (minus the booze and cigarettes). Actually it's the original What Not To Wear. If you are like me and love make-over shows and British icons adored by gay men around the world, then this is a must see.

Tim Gunn's Guide to Style


I posted some time ago about how much I heart Tim Gunn. Well, I am watching season 2of his show Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. I can't get enough! I am not sure what it is, but I love watching people get makeovers. I honestly could watch people get them all day. I know, I am a strange bird.

If you haven't seen Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, he has a list of 10 essential wardrobe items every woman must have. Tim says that a woman’s closet needs only to consist of these 10 essential items, but he doesn't expect every woman to ONLY have 10 items...I mean, hello!

Tim's Essentials List

-Basic black dress
-Trench coat
-Classic dress pants
-Skirt
-Blazer
-Classic white shirt
-Day dress
-Cashmere sweater
-Jeans
-Sweatsuit alternative
-One indulgent trend item. "Indulge occasionally in a $20 something or other."

Ahhh...My Reality Show Guilty Pleasures


I love me some Rock of Love and now I am loving me some Rock of Love Charm School with Sharon Osbourne. Who can resist watching a train wreck? The chicks are T-rash-y...and I love it. I am also watching the 2nd season of The Pick Up Artist. Frank actually watches this one with me. It's actually a great social experiment for guys.

Project Runway Finale - SPOILER!

So...tonight was the finale of Project Runway. I thought all 3 had some great pieces. I had at favorites out of each bunch...but after seeing Korto's line, I was 100% on her team. Her designs were beautiful in my opinion.

So let's break it down. Kinley - her black dress with the high collar was gorge, Leanne had very interesting detail in her "pleats". Her pant suit was brillz. Korto...what can I say. I loved each and every piece she showed.

The order of I would have chosen would have been:
3. Leanne
2. Kinley
1. Korto

BUT...we must move 3 to 1 and Leanne won.
