a zig a zig ahhh...


I'm not afraid to admit that I own Spice World on dvd. I got it for $8! I skipped class in high school to see it in theatres the day it came out. First Junky tells me that The Verve has reformed and then the Spice Girls officially announce their reunion. The 90's return!

Posh looks hot as usual, Mel C looks sexy as a femme dyke instead of a butch one, Geri still hasn't got the union jack dress back yet, but she substituted it for one just as oogly! Baby has got a beebee in the oven but the black dress hides it, and Scary is looking just as scary! My itunes has been predicting the reunion for the past few weeks, when I leave it on shuffle the Spice Girls keep coming on!

So I didn't dream this up! When I was in Thailand I saw this on the TV and I had never seen it again until now.

This fancy Proust Questionnaire book would be great for parties and get-togethers. Pass it around and have guests fill it out, encourage convo while looking over previous entries. Here are two questionnaires with Proust's own answers. Apparently he didn't invent the questionnaire but made it famous.


I love all of these Carrie Weston rings, especially the flat ones that can be stacked together. I like rose gold, it's a warm tone with a hint of pink to it, the diamond silhouette ring, the flat heart ring, and the tulip silhouette rings are the cutest.


Whenever I make cupcakes I wonder, where will I store these? A small tupperware can only house a few. Bigger ones hold a few more but with the icing, they can't be stacked. Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem because the cupcake courier was invented to solve this pressing issue. It comes in 4 colours, saffron yellow is my fave.


I think the packaging of Einstein Lip Therapy is tres cute. It has little beads of vitamin c, like the gum Cinnaburst with it's flavor crystals. It also interests me because it's a cream based product, it a different kind of moisturizer from the regular greasy type.

I'm in search of un-gooey sun protection. I used my friend Peter's Greek sun milk with SPF 8 (he said it was the highest he could find), and it was nice but SPF 8 isn't enough protection. Sephora provided a few alternatives: Peter Thomas Roth's Instant Mineral SPF 30, MD Skincare's Sunscreen Pads, Bliss' Big Screen Spray, and Fresh's Sun Shield.


This Dune Swept Dress is flowy and pretty, you could wear it with white tights to make it a bit more casual, it's silk so it's nice and cool. I also like the Lagoa dress, the texture and the cut is unique. Both are from Tracy Reese from Anthropologie.

Urban Outfitters has a few cute dresses as well, the Lux Embroidered Mexicana Dress has a mod feel to it despite the folksy embroidery. The Lux Santorini Dress is a nice bubble shape, comfy and forgiving. This Boxfresh Bird Halter Mini Dress looks straight out of Jem. Truly Outrageous.

Superman Returns



And he's hotter than ever! HELLO! Pictures don't do Brandon Routh justice, and neither do interviews cos he's boooooorrrring. Some said that he didn't have the charisma to play Supes. Since when was Supes charismatic? He's a big dork/boyscout and that's why we lub him. I had put off watching the movie cos of the so/so reviews but I'm glad I finally got around to it. It was a lot of fun. Bryan Singer is great, I have to say X3 totally sucked without him, but I'm glad he took on Superman because we have the same taste in men, he made Supes so drool-worthy, and if he wasn't enough Cyclops is in this as well, he plays LL's finace (I called him Biclops).

Anyhow, enough with the hot man report, one thing that has been bugging me is that *spoiler!* LL's kid is Superman's...not her fiance's. How is this possible? Superman cannot have sex with anyone on earth (except perhaps Wonder Woman and his cuz Supergirl) cos he would rip them apart with his superpowers. If he didn't his supersperm would do the ripping. It's not that I'm against Superman having sex, he should, we don't want a sexually repressed Supes running around.

But after sleeping on this questions, I remembered that Superman Returns is supposed to follow Superman 2. In Superman 2 he was briefly powerless...human...so if LL was impregnated then...then it explains how she was able to do Superman and survive.

Back to the film, Routh reminded me so much of Christopher Reeve when he's Clark. Kate Bosworth is a lame LL, I'm used to spunky Margo Kidder. Hearing the Superman theme was really exciting. Kevin Spacey was an awesome Lex. It was sad that Kal Penn said next to nothing the entire film.

EDIT: I almost forgot, Superman, what up with the red platform boots? And Parker Posey's henchwoman(?) was great. I love how after Superman saves her she's 'having' heart palpitations and jumped into his arms, asking to be taken to the hospital, excellent op to get your hands all over that. That is all.

iphone



Is the iphone really that exciting? It's coming out in a few days so I checked out the buzz and the specs, seems like everyone is pretty excited. It will be interesting to see the touch screen...although I foresee regular maint. for it. They say it combines 3 gadgets into 1; phone, widescreen ipod, and 'breakthrough' internet communications device.

The touch screen phone itself seems pretty cool. You can access your voicemail msgs in the order you want to access them (if you have voicemail! i don't). Txt'ing is supposed to be easier with the touch QWERTY keyboard, so the you poor males with your stubby fingers should be able to tap out msgs instead of dealing with mashing the keys on your crack. Most phones have a camera built in. My PEBL is a sad .3 mega pixels, but it's mainly for wallpaper and phonebook photos. iphone's cam is 2 mega pixels, but that definitely wouldn't replace my 6 mega pixel cam.

The ipod feature of the phone isn't anything new, there are mp3 phones which I never understood the allure of. Widescreen is an improvement but 4 and 8 GB memory? My ipod is 80GB, it's not full but my old 20GB filled up quickly and this one is one its way as well. I assume that it is for the person who switches up the stuff on their ipod regularly.

Finally there is the internet access which looks promising. I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the internet on NW's crack. It looks strange and he has the graphics turned off, so the iphone should be pretty cool in that sense. But how much is data usage gonna be?

iphone looks cool, but if i had it i'd still be carrying around tons of gear in my bag, it wouldn't lighten my load and it's not white so it wouldn't match my other apple products. Exciting? Yes. Useful? Not so much.
