KXVO "Pumpkin Dance"

There must not be that any news worth reporting in Omaha. Haha I kind of want to learn this routine.

Bellyrama

Oh please don't let this be me in a few years. When I watched this I just cringed and thought that this woman does not get out that often. And who knows when the last time she had contact with someone from the opposite sex. Oh so sad.
It is worth watching the whole thing.

Rachael's Bachelorette Party!!

I am back tracking a bit so get ready for tons of pictures.

Back in early September we had a NYC Bachelorette Party for the Bride to Be Rachael Grey. She had one in Vegas with her LA friends and we had one in NYC with her NYC homies. It was a great night full of girly girl adventures and shocking NYC moments.

We started the night at a local bar in Union Square called Lillie's. Very Victorian and feminine. Gold sconces and tons of crystal chandeliers. A perfect place to start the night.

This is just 1/2 of the crew. The rest joined us later. From Left to Right: Caitlin, Bonnie, Heather, Meredith, Rachael, Claire and myself.We had one guy with us, Jamie Gordon. He was not able to make it to Tim's Bachelor party in Vegas that weekend so he came with us. Such a sport. He even wore all black sticking to the dress code.
While walking to our next location we happened upon an old white carousel horse. How it got there and where it came from we have no idea. But it was too good to pass up.

The Next location was Lucky Changs. It's not a place that I would take my mom but it was very entertaining to say the least. The place was full of Bachelorette parties and birthdays.

Rachael got her very own "show" from this Woman/Man. I am not quite sure what to call her/him. Interesting.My Favorite was Cross-dresser Carl. No, that is not his real name but that is the name I gave him. He was clearly your next door neighbor and looking like he drove a Volvo. And then at night he had a secret life. He made me laugh and feel sorry for him at the same time. Off to the next place to get our dance on. Thanks to Jamie Gordon for getting us the hook up in one pretty cool place in the lower east side. He knows all the places.

I danced so much that night that I worked off my meals for the week. We ALL had an amazing time and had so much fun celebrating Rachael's last days of being a single lady. Thank you New York for never disappointing me.

Single Ladies for a Reason

Why is it so funny to me when people fall or get hurt? I fall and get hurt ALL THE TIME. I am sure people are making fun of me too. I know I am.

Double Star Sightings

A little over a month ago I had the best star sighting that I have ever had and probably will ever have. For the past 5 years that I have been in NYC I have wanted to see Harrison Ford. Why? Well because he IS Han Solo and Indiana Jones. He has been my heart throb since I was young and now I can check him off my list.

I was on the phone with my mom, per usual, and I just start screaming, "NO WAY". She of course knows that I have either seen a star or have been grabbed inappropriately by a homeless man. I could not believe my eyes, it was the one and only Harrison Ford.

He was filming a movie and they were right in the middle of shooting. After gazing at him I realize that he is filming with Rachel McAdams, one of my favorite actresses. It was a double star sighting. I quickly looked around to see if anyone else good was there and if I knew the director.

I watched them film a few takes. The paparazzi was all around getting their shot and I had wished that I had my camera on me at the time. I usually do but I was charging it at home. Luckily, and no shock, I had my blackberry on me. I wish these were better but they were trying to run us off. I told the man that was NOT leaving until I was good and ready. I know how shoots go and I was not in the way. He doesn't know how long I have waited to see this man.

So here are some pics from it. It's a romantic comedy and Diane Keaton is in it as well. California Pics coming soon!!

Laura's New Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-479ojoLgxg

Some of you know my friend Laura Jansen. She is an amazing singer/songwriter and I adore her music. This is her new video Single Girls. The first time I heard the song it was a little over 2 years ago when I was going through a little break up. It touch me and pointed out exactly what I was going through at that time. Now 2 years later and going though yet another break up this video just speaks volumes. I hope you like it!!!

How Do I Fit In Here?

I have SO SO SO many photos to catch you all up on but I HAD to blog about this right away.

Last night I attended the Paper Magazine 25th Anniversary at the NYC Library. It was beautiful. I had no idea what I was getting into. I soon found out once I arrived to the Red Carpet and swarms of paparazzi.

Here is a list of who was there and who I saw and WHAT I saw: (Video to come)
1. Tyson Beckford was there with a beautiful skinny in need of a burger model. They came on a motorcycle and held their helmets all night. I would of been mad to have to hang on to that.
2. All 3 Hanson Brothers. I have to say, 2 out of the 3 are looking pretty good. Who would have known that the older brother would turn out cute.
3. Sean Lennon. Yes, John's son.
4. Lydia Hearst - she's in Gossip Girl and a model
5. Amerie - Singer
6. Estelle - Singer
7. Isaac Mizrahi - Designer. He was not looking his best. His outfit had this white thing tied around his neck like he just went to a barber shop for a shave. And he had Nike flip flops on. WITH A SUIT. We all know that is a no no.
8. Patricia Field - Designer for Sex and the City. I was happy to see her and she did NOT disappoint. Her shoes were to die for. I am going to run out and try to find them right away.
9. Nicole Miller - Designer. I did a party with her before and she is always nice.
10. Mark Ronson - DJ. He was spinning which was pretty amazing.
11. Lindsey Lohan - She showed up and ran upstairs and that's all we saw of her.
12. The Entire Cast of Project Runway - I tried to find out who won but I wasn't able to. I think I know a few who didn't for sure though
13. Brad From Rachel Zoe - I love that show and he was adorable
14. The Virgins opened the night and played. Rock out!
15. Kayne West with his entire entourage. He didn't wear his glasses inside which was nice of him.
16. Queen Latifah Sang/Rapped
17. Liza Minnelli Sang. I have video of this that I will post. Pretty unbelievable. I have video of her singing New York New York.
18. Gossip Girl People that I don't know
19. Betsey Johnson - Designer. She didn't do any cartwheels.
20. Every transgendered man in NYC. Some were a little scary. There was one that looked like a beaten dirty rat. I will try to find a photo of that guy.
21. Mischa Barton - She's been filming her new TV show in our neighborhood a lot and frequents our Dog Park. That is when she is not in rehab.
22. Cynthia Rowley - Designer
23. Charlotte Ronson - Designer

These people don't eat a thing but they sure can drink. There was broken glass everywhere at the end of the night. The Library was trashed. So sad. Also sad that on my way to the bathroom there were 3 kids, and I mean age 14-16 or so, drunk out of their mind and I am sure on something. I wanted to grab them up by their ears and kick them out. Do these parents not know where their kids are on a school night? Not to mention what I saw going on in the bathroom. I know I am in NYC and drugs are the norm here, but I am very happy that I am not normal. I don't think I will ever be ok with seeing things like that. Just makes me cringe and feel so sorry for the people that feel that they need to do it.

Regardless of all the messy people it was a fun night of people watching and people watching you. Great music and entertainment. And to hear Liza, the daughter of Judy Garland and MJ's BFF mind you, sing New York New York in the New York City Public Library, one of the prettiest buildings in NY, made the night a night that I will remember.

Now all I have to do if find a time to sleep but from the looks of it that will have to wait till after the weekend. Next Stop California!!!
