Oh, One More Thing And Then I Will Shut Up About The Marathon:

Posted by: Jen

I may or may not have a (ir)rational hatred for P. Diddy (Puffy? Puff Daddy? P. Asshat?). Remember all the hoopla a few years ago when he did the NY Marathon? Diddy Runs The City? Ring any bells? I remember.

I'm sorry, he really is the only celebrity I have an intense dislike for even though he brought us Danity Kane, who I appreciate and may or may not own their first album. Seriously, if he ever cut in front of me at the bar you better bet there would be a drink thrown with absolute GLEE at his face. He annoys me, okay!?

Anyway. I did a little Google because I wanted to know that even though I will never be invited to the White Party (I look better in black anyway), that I was better than Smuggy McAsshat. I am. He ran 4:14. HA. Slowpoke.

Ok, ok, small concession: he ran to benefit inner city kids. I would run to benefit something too though if I knew enough people to donate/was famous enough to have a show on MTV about it. Trust, I was looking at running the NY Marathon for charity and you have to raise like $2500 or they charge your credit card. Eeeek.

Gawker Finally Gives Us Something Good!

Posted by: Jen

So, Gawker found a link to someone's Photobucket account with lots of fun pictures of our two favorites. I must say, they seem kind of awesome, and not too cool for us to hang out with.

Everyone has had the moment when they are camping and it is raining and they are so drunk and it is so cold and they just want to have the world stop spinning and a pair of dry socks. Ed is so there.

Everyone has also had the moment when they are so drunk that suddenly, they are the coolest person on the planet. You can practically hear Chace telling you how GOOD he is at Guitar Hero, the pee-wee football championship he won when he was 8, and how the bangs are a positive style decision.

Who just won a game of Beirut? THESE GUYS!

Marathon!

Posted by: Jen

This weekend I ran my first marathon ever! And I made it through! And I didn't die! And I liked it!

The weekend started with Chris and I traveling upstate to meet Sammi, a friend from high school and the last part of our marathon group. We stayed with Chris' parents somewhere outside of Albany, and his mother made sure we were well fed! So, there we were, in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do, so Chris, Sammi, Sammi's husband Ehren and I decided to go to the local bar. And we got drunk.

Ooops. Well, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

The next morning Chris and I woke up and went for a pre-marathon hungover run. We were ready. Then we met Sammi and Ehren, and their dog, a cockapoo named Sissy, to travel up to Burlington. The drive was long, and I slept off my hangover for a lot of it. I asked Chris if he wanted me to drive, but he spewed something about real men being able to drive for more than three hours at a time and I went back to sleep. Then when I woke up we drove by a donkey farm, and then a farm with a giant Camel. Oh wilderness, what will you have for me next?

That night, the marathon sponsored an all you can eat dinner and it was pretty good. Not worth the $25 I paid for it but it was probably better for me than going to TGIFriday's and drinking a giant margarita for dinner.

The next morning we woke up at 5:30 and I drank a coffee and three bottles of water and ate a bagel with peanut butter. I was really concerned about having caffeine, and being dehydrated, and pooping. Everything worked out fine, in case you were wondering.

At the start, it was basically impossible to move, because of all of the liar liar pants on fire people who totally say they are going to run 6 minute pace, but actually run 16 minute pace. I hate them. I lined up responsibly, why can't they? Ms. Vermont sang the national anthem. Someone said something about supporting our troops. The gun went off. I stood there for a full minute and a half while the 12 minute milers got on their way.

The first 10 miles were really easy, and I know that sounds ridiculous, but I was so excited I didn't feel it at all. And ran way too fast. Oh well, I was having fun! I learned how to drink and run (squish the cup and funnel it out) after I spilled Gatorade all over my shirt and a guy running next to me felt bad and showed me how.

I went through the half in great time, and still didn't feel anything. I started to worry about the impending doom of running 13 more miles.

At mile 15, there was "the hill", complete with war drums at the bottom and a crowd of people bent on seeing some good old fashioned suffering. I decided to check myself before I wreaked myself and slowed down to a more sensible pace.

At mile 18 I ate the goo, which for those of you who don't know, is a small package of sugar/carbs/calories and flavored like something. It gives you instant energy and mine was flavored like chocolate so it reminded me of nasty frosting. It works miracles -- I had no idea how much my body was eating my brain up until that point until I ate the goo and suddenly had remarkable mental clarity. Then it made me really thirsty and there was no water for the next mile.

At mile 20 a giant blister that had been building on my right foot decided to pop. It basically felt like someone was slicing open the bottom of my foot with a flaming hot knife. I slowed down to a 10 minute mile and waited for it to numbe up so I could run again.

At mile 21 my thighs started to hurt. I told myself 5 miles was nothing -- less than what I do after work on an easy day. I am really, really good at lying to myself to get myself through these things.

At mile 23, I was tired. I don't think I hit the wall, per se, but I definitley couldn't run much faster than 9:30 pace. I told myself not to stop, because goddammit, I gave up Friday nights for running!

Mile 24, someone set up a beer station. I got a Dixie cup full of beer and took it like a shot, and suddenly felt fabulous. I considered going back for more, but don't want to mess up my time.

Mile 25. The beer had worn off. Fuck. My legs REALLY started to hurt. The relay team people (yeah, they allowed teams of 2 to 5 people to run the marathon as a relay -- WEAK) were whizzing by me, probably only on mile 5. Bitches, on a normal day I would eat you for breakfast.

Mile 25 1/2, the crowd was there, cheering! Fuck. That meant I had to look good. I tried to pick up the pace and look like I was a good runner.

Mile 26, the announcer saw me coming in and said my name. The crowd was cheering. I summoned the last of the beer energy and sprinted to the finish. I slowed down to a rubbery walk, made a face and mouthed "Oh fuccccckkk" and instantly a medical person was asking me if I needed assistance. I wondered if I looked as bad as I felt and was glad I was vain enough to put on blush before the race or else they'd be carting me off to the ambulance right then and there.

I ran 3:29!

So, all in all, it wasn't awful -- I actually liked it and want to do another. I'm crazy, I know. Today I can walk a little bit better, but basic things like sitting down, standing up, walking up and down stairs and anything over a slow walk are still pretty challenging.

GO JEN GO!!!

Posted by: Kim

This weekend Jen is running a marathon in Burlington, VT. One can only hope that if she wins she is presented with lots of that maple leaf candy that melts on your tongue, or perhaps a moose. I've always wanted to see a moose up close and personal.
Anyway, point is marathon. Marathon! Jen is so badass and I am so proud.

GO JEN GO!

This is a baby red panda. You're welcome.

Yes, red pandas are actually an animal, unlike unicorns or ligers. They appear to be made up of pandas and foxes and can probably shoot love rays out of their tummies like CareBears. Please keep in mind that everything I have just said is highly scientific and should be taken as fact.

I'm drunk. Shocker. Jug wine.

CHUCK!
CHUCK! WTF!


LYDIA HEARST?! BUT BLAIR'S TRAVEL TO TUSCANY OUTFIT WAS THE BEST EVER! CHUCK. You are. So. Dumb.




You're still hot. Still Chuck Bass. I don't know if this is good or bad. OMG SO LONG UNTIL SEPTEMBER.

Lydia Hearst? REALLY?!

Um, I have more to say. Later.

He IS Chuck Bass. OMFG!

Posted by: Jen


Georgina goes down (albeit a bit too neatly)! Dan and Serena break up (but it was for forever)! Nate and Vanessa break up (he is NOT too pretty for you, stop pining for Dan)! Dan and Vanessa are doomed to spend the summer falling in love (luckily Dan will be too wrapped up in his emotional pain to notice, probably)! Nate and Serena have an in to more pretty people sex by spending the summer in the Hamptons! Rufus is pining for Lilly! Lilly married the wrong man (what was up with that bridesmaid dress? Elvira meets Funshine Bear?)! Jenny is a fashion designer (for Blair's mom)! In a moment of panic at his maturity, CHUCK SCREWS OVER OUR HERO BLAIR FOR LYDIA I-PARTY-AND-DON'T-EAT-FOR-A-LIVING HEARST! Gross.


What are we going to do until... SEPTEMBER?

I am obviously going to buy the first season when it comes out on DVD and make everyone I know watch it so that they too can hear The Word of Gossip Girl. Is this what religious devotion feels like? I bet it does. Interesting.

Oh Hey Lauren, You're Late To The Party

Posted by: Jen


Spotted in People's "I Really Love My..." section: LC rocking MY BOOTS (inspired by Kate Moss, obviously), that I wore all winter. I win!

Also, does this mean I can still wear them even though it's not cold? And more importantly, does this mean that they will be ruined by all of the Lauren Conrad wannabes?

So, I have a whole bunch of roommates in a big old house in Boston, and we had a barbecue last weekend. It was epic, as our parties tend to be. We even made roommate 'goals' for the event, based upon previous events. Said goals included things like, "No extreme barfing," "No unaccountable bruises," "No roommate makeout sessions," "No dry-cleaning necessities," and "No furniture destruction." It. Was. Great.

This evening I returned home from work thirsty, looked in the refrigerator and was greeted with a very enticing looking container of organic lemonade.

How nice, I though. Leftovers from a courteous party guest!

I then chugged a glassfull, and brought another with me to settle in on the couch with the 39 press releases I have to write by, oh, last week or so.

Cut to 10 minutes ago, when one of the roommates walks in.

"Oh, heyyyy! Drinking the hard stuff, eh?" He grinned.

"Excuse me?" I replied.

"That lemonade. The kids who brought that spiked the shit out of it! I don't even know with what, but it was lethal," he explained.

I shook my head. "No, no, this is just lemonade. It's still in the lemonade bottle!"

He started laughing. "No, Kim. I know. They spiked it in the bottles."

"No. It's not! It's just lemonade!" I insisted.

"Oh yeah? Okay. Stand up," he suggested. I did. It wasn't pretty.

I. Am. Wasted.

Oh, please, please, please, please, Flatbush! Or perhaps East New York? Bed Stuy!


(Source) Production will move from the west coast to the east as the 21st season of The Real World will be filmed in Brooklyn, MTV announced today.

“The Brooklyn season, like the Hollywood season, will focus on what people loved about The Real World when it launched in 1992 - genuine people, meaningful conflict and powerful stories,” said Jon Murray, The Real World Co-Creator and Chairman & President of Bunim-Murray Productions. “We’re thrilled that MTV is allowing The Real World turn 21!”

The Real World: Brooklyn begins shooting this summer and will broadcast 13 one-hour episodes in early 2009.

A DONNIE DARKO SEQUEL?! FOR FRIGGING REAL?

Oh why oh why would anyone think this is a good idea?


Donnie Darko sequel S. Darko starts shooting May 18
Wendy Mitchell in London
09 May 2008 05:00

UK-based sales company Velvet Octopus will be launching sales in Cannes for S. Darko, billed as the sequel to the 2001 cult hit Donnie Darko. Fox has already taken North American rights.

Daviegh Chase reprises her role as Donnie's younger sister. The cast for S. Darko also includes Ed Westwick (Son Of Rambow, Gossip Girl), Briana Evigan (Step Up 2) and Justin Chatwin (Dragon Ball).

Ash Shah's Silver Nitrate and Newmarket Capital are producing. Los Angeles-based Chris Fisher, who previously made Nightstalker and Rampage: The Hillside Strangler Murders, will direct. The budget is pegged around $10m.

The story picks up seven years after the first film (and Donnie's death) when little sister Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions.

Fisher said in a statement: "I am a great admirer of Richard Kelly's film and hope to create a similar world of blurred fantasy and reality."

Producers have spoken to Richard Kelly about the project but he is not involved in any official capacity at this stage.

Simon Crowe of Velvet Octopus added: "I think there is a new generation of cinema-goers who will be very excited to see this film."

Crowe quipped to ScreenDaily: "Donnie's not in [the new film] but there are meteorites and rabbits."

The project starts shooting May 18.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I have to go lie down, and possibly call out of work tomorrow and watch Donnie Darko all day and cry about its impending ruin.

(I still love you, Chuck.)

Things I Will Quote And Link To But Not Write About:

Posted by: Jen

For fear that some may call me obsessed (though I have been diligently explaining to my co-workers that in order to get them to at least tolerate GG, I have become a caricature of myself, shamelessly promoting the Greatest Show of Our Time!)...

From NY Mag: "As did we love the unholy, Thundercats-like alliance of Nate, Blair, Chuck, and Vanessa that came together to defend Serena and confront the evil of Georgina. It didn't come to complete fruition this episode (such is the fodder of season finales, after all), but we can imagine it now. Chuck, in the form of Lion-O, will summon Tygra (Nate), Panthro (Vanessa), Cheetara (Blair), and maybe even WilyKat and WilyKit (Jenny and Eric) to join forces for the ultimate cosmic confrontation against Mumr-Ra (Georgina)."

And from People: GOSSIP GIRL IN REAL LIFE! OMFG.

Eep. A man would be handy right now. Or perhaps, Jen.

This morning I was awakened by a little, tiny 'ping!' sound. I sat up and looked around for a while, confused, until I saw it:

My ceiling light (which is just a round kind of globe-like thing with a faux-gold base) was located a good foot below its usual home, dangling from two wires and some nasty yellow-brown insulationy-looking type crap that the weight of it all was yanking out of the ceiling.

... what do I do?

Spotted...

Little J walking down Broadway near the Finance District on Saturday in a very cute skirt AND THE DREADED WAYFARERS talking on her phone.

I managed to keep my composure until she had walked away, and even then it was just a little jump, squeal "sheisongossipgirlohmygod!" and an immediate text to Kim. My boyfriend made fun of me anyway.

On Vaginas. And Miracles. And World Domination.

Posted by: Kim and Jen


Kim:
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20198911,00.html
do you think the second child feels weird about not starting with J?
Jen: OMG
I was just gonna send you this
http://jezebel.com/388978/mom+to+17-michelle-duggar-set-to-birth-another-damn-baby
HAH, I am horrified
Kim: hahahaha
Jen: like ok, let's talk about this. I think there is something kind of messed up about having that many kids… isn't it unfair to them? and your vagina?
"Michelle Duggar has been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life."
HOLY HELL
Kim: they probably just fall out of her at this point. ugh.
Jen: HAHAHA I know
"Honey is it in?"
Kim: it's so bad. they are homeschooled. they are like raised to only interact with each other. how weird. you KNOW there has to be incestuous tendencies
Jen: oh you know they are fucked up the minute you see that hair. they all have that crazy wacko long cult hair going on
Kim: hahahaha! eeeek
Jen: like, the girls inherited fabulous hair. Style it!
also though... how do they pay for all the kids? by tv appearances?
Kim: they go through 3 loaves of bread a day. hahahahaha.
Jen: oh so this was a comment on Jezebel: "According to my co-worker, who is dating an ob-gyn, your uterus can actually fall out after too many pregnancies. Now I have another nightmare. "
Kim: OH MY GOD
Jen: yeah. I'd believe it. I mean, all kinds of weird shit happens when you give birth. I've read about it. LIKE how you can RIP open, like, all the way to your butt.
Kim: i think i just whimpered
Jen: yay babies!
who would've thought that dad would be such a sex machine! his comb over is so deceiving
Kim: lol, well, they do give GOD all the credit
Jen: I feel like I wouldn't want to be in the same room as him because I might miraculously catch a pregnancy or something...
because when a mommy and a daddy love each other, they kiss and then god puts a baby in mommy's tummy
Kim: oh christ
Jen: I just made that up. But I think most of their children probably take it as fact.
Kim: i worry about immaculate conception more than i should, i think. like maybe i would piss off god, and he'd be like, HA, bitch!
Jen: yeah, that would get me to believe
I'd be like, oh, ok, shit. I wonder how mad God would be after all of that if I got an abortion?
Kim: it would just grow back
duh
Jen: as twins, I'm sure
Kim: you’d keep getting abortions
Jen: I'd be eating packs of birth control for breakfast only to be smited with a baby
smoted?
well, I guess after all of that, who am I to deny the world the second coming?
Kim: i would be so pumped if you birthed Jesus II
Jen: I would only be if he performed a miracle on my checking account
and even then, he better not cry during gossip girl
Kim: no, it'd be so great. you, gracie, and lil baby j. and we could just have him perform small miracles whenever we needed them. and then in like, 2040 he can marry Marina Cameron Brady (whom Tom and I adopted from China) and we'll have tied up all the perfection in the world for our own keeping.
Jen: OH YES
world domination!
alright, I am willing to take one for the team and have JC II if it means you get Tom and we get world domination
Kim: YES! oh man, you're the best! seriously. how great. we could make the calories fall out of frappucinos and gossip girl air every night. twice. and increase our leg length for maximum boot wearing potential. i should probably be coming up with better acts for your little miracle to perform, huh?
Jen: yeah obviously we would take care of world peace and happiness and find an environmentally friendly source of fuel that is free… but I mean, while he's doing the big things, he can def divinely inspire the GG writers to crank out a good episode every day
Kim: totally. this is probably our best idea yet.
Jen: you know what, even with the whole promise of all of that, I'm still not entirely psyched to be pregnant
Kim: understandable. on the plus side, your spawn can correct your anatomy and physique for you in moments!
Jen: oh yes. I will be like, no I don't want my old pre-baby body back. I want Gisele's!
and it shall be done, and they will see that it is good
Kim: let us pray to the lord
lord hear our prayer
Jen: amen
Kim: blessed is the word of the lord, for ... i forget… amen
Jen: hah yeah
I am posting this
Kim: i'm probably going to post this on the internet
fyi
Jen: yes.
Kim: LOL
HAHAHAHA
Jen: we are reading each other’s minds today
Kim: wow we are for real’s sharing a brain today
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER

My Landlord Is... Nice?

Posted by: Jen

So I got home tonight and as I was walking up the stairs I noticed a small stuffed sheep hanging from one of my neighbor's doors, and I thought, "Aw, how nice! Someone left them a present!" and kept walking, thumbing through the Delia's catalogue, which I am ashamed to admit has some really cute stuff and I will totally order it and pretend that it wasn't made for 15 year olds.

Anyway. I got to my door and there was a stuffed sheep hanging there! With a note! The note was from my landlord and it stated that "a small amount has been taken from your monthly rent and donated to the March of Dimes in your name" and then they thanked me.

...

Yeah, I know right? My landlord is adorable. Thanks for restoring some of my faith in humanity guys!

I've been meaning to post about the Met Costume Gala all week, but couldn't pick because I loved 90% of everything worn and need to make friends with Karl Lagerfeld and be invited next year as his date and wear vintage Chanel because it is probably my life's calling. Anyway, the theme was Superhero and I love how Christian took it to heart by wearing a Batman-esque BANG! on his chest. I also enjoy that Ashley has her hair out of her face, looks happy and is clearly channeling Cat Woman. And MK is wearing solid gold and is all like, "Yeah, what?".

Anyone who wears solid gold and pulls it off is ok in my book.

Breaking news from CNN! McCain will fight EVIL if president! Sigh. I am tired of all of this. Stop being so afraid of everything, America -- no one's going to blow you up. All buzz words. You bore me, terrorists and John McCain.

Drinking on a school night #3 this week.

Oh, sigh.

I actually have nothing to say and no patience to seek out fun photos to make fun of/lust over.

I just thought that maybe drunk blogging was a thing to do, and so here I am.

Hi.

Anyone remember Fruitopia? It was the first mixer I ever used with vodka. Gross.`14-year-old Kim knew nothing. But I guess it was totes my BFF on the day of the SAT. Which is out of, like, way more points now. I am so old.

So an acquaintance of Chris' from the NY Comedy circuit is currently undergoing a sex change. Chris and I attempt to hash out the technicalities and get our minds around the whole thing (we also wish we lived in Europe) below:

Chris: i already feel like i'm too interested in this girls sex change for my own good
but he/she wrote a very interesting blog about it
Chris: [website redacted]
Jennifer: oh wow she writes about her boobs
ok, I'm glad she feels a little weird about getting rid of them even though she's not attached
Chris: yeah the whole post is intriguing, especially since she had sex this weekend
Jennifer: does she have a penis?
Chris: i don't know! i couldn't tell from the post at least
Jennifer: yeah
Chris: theres some parts that hint to the fact she does, but i'm not sure
Jennifer: wow. what about the girl he hooked up with? I don't think I could get over it.
Chris: get over what? the fact that the guy you hooked up with has boobs?
Jennifer: that he was a she
Chris: i imagine it would be tough
Jennifer: like would you hook up with a girl that was a boy?
Chris: hahah wow
how drunk am i ?
and how hot is he/she?
Jennifer: you are buzzed and she looks like a model, but before you seal the deal she goes, "I used to be a dude. Fuck me!"
Chris: HA
Chris: yeah, i guess i couldn't. that'd be too much
Jennifer: I think we are not being as serious as we should be
yeah I couldn't do it
Chris: see we are too sheltered, we can't even imagine it
Jennifer: no, it's just too much of a mindfuck... like all of our lives we've labeled things and this one has no label!!!
Chris: if we grew up in Germany we'd be fine with it
Jennifer: maybe
Jennifer: wait... why is Germany different?
Chris: i just picked a European country
Germany isn't uptight bout that stuff
Jennifer: oh yeah, no
Chris: if we want to go extreme, lets say Sweden... they really don't care
Jennifer: I bet everywhere is a little confused
ok, yeah, I bet Sweden isn't confused

The Gossip Girl Ads Were Right...

Posted by: Jen


Seriously. OMFG!

Also, I am NOT ashamed to be obsessed anymore (though slightly ashamed at my stalk/befriend the GG cast aspirations). My married, mature, career having, responsible pet owning friend called me after the show and I thought she was going to tell me about a pot roast recipe or something (kidding) and she goes, "I just had to tell you that Gossip Girl is the best show ever." SEE, more people think it is The Greatest Show of Our Time than just me, Kim, and the stalkers at NY Mag.

And I am NOT going to post a pic of her Speed Racer co-star Emile Hirsch, who felt the need to show up at the premiere dressed like a homeless person, and I am 99% sure that he is not one based on the fact that he is IN MOVIES.

I Have Made Better Decisions

Posted by: Jen
So my European co-worker NEEDED Taco Bell because he hadn't had it in 12 years or so and was dead set on getting the Big Bell Box Meal for lunch (Google it, it is sick! No one should eat that much, ever). I, who haven't had Taco Bell in years, decided that yes, I could eat a Chalupa for lunch. It reminded me of Freshman year at college when Kim and I would get Chalupas and orange soda for dinner! Memories!

Anyway, it was close to 1pm and I was STARVING by the time we got to the Taco Bell by Union Square, so I may have been a little overzealous in my ordering. I got two Chalupas and some nachos. My co-worker got a Big Bell Box Meal and Pizza Hut Breadsticks (yeah it was a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut -- Heaven!).

OH GOD. I forgot how delicious it was.

Somewhere during the second Chalupa, my stomach started to protest. My mouth said yes but my stomach was screaming no and I didn't listen. I ate it all and it was incredible, but my body was already revolting by sending waves of nausea radiating through me.

Flash forward to 3 hours later. I am still in a food coma and have a slight headache. My co-worker has sworn off Taco Bell forever. It makes me nervous. What was in the food?!*

*Besides deliciousness?

Hey, This Is NOT A Banana...

Posted by: Jen

Click on the pic to read the whole story!

This is Conchita, a rare white-naped mangabey monkey that was born in the London zoo. Her mother became ill and Conchita was delivered via Caesarean section in order to save her. Because her mother was too sick to take care of her, and not wanting Conchita to think humans were her mother (we all remember what happened to Nim -- it does NOT end well!) zoo-keepers gave Conchita a teddy bear and she now thinks it is her mother. She also apparently confuses noses for bananas. I can has?

Okay, Heidi, Put Down The Hot Rollers...

Posted by: JenHeidi was on Letterman last night and confirmed that there was in fact a Lauren/Jason sex tape. However, I doubt anything L and J did in the tape could have looked as pornographic as Heidi did for the show taping. HEIDI! You are out on 54th and Broadway! You should not be wearing hand-me-downs from an old Playboy shoot OUTSIDE (or ever, that dress isn't even just a miss, it's hideous... Cute shoes though). I do not get this whole new Barbie look you are going for. It makes me sad. So sad.

Also.

The Google graphic is blowing my mind. What is it and why? Shovels? For ... May Day? Microphones? Is American Idol over (does anyone care)? Maracas? For Cinqo de Uno? Something else entirely and I am a retard?

OMG will this trend never die?

LEIGHTON.
Would Blair wear these?


Didn't think so (Though Chuck probably would. And I'd be okay with that, somehow). I will give you a pass because at least they are red and I really like red. Also because (when the coat and wayfarers go away and you are Blair) your hair looks adorable, as does the amazing outfit I will now sit around and covet all day while Jen makes fun of me.



AND I TOTES HAVE THAT BAG!
