I think "for the love of Ray J"

christinefriar:

should replace “for the love of God” in everyone’s vernacular.

Example:
You spill your drink all over your new sweater.

“AH, FOR THE LOVE OF RAY J!”

Think it over.

yes! plus, I might be able to get this ball rolling because I spill shit at least 3-7 times every day. (usually water inside my purse. sometimes salad dressing all over my gym shorts, ipod, and front seat of car.)

Up was way better than I was expecting—and I barely like any movies these days (maybe because they don’t have talking dogs?) And Doug kinda looks like Ebbie. (christinefriar:saraliz:claudia:nikuhh:lafillequivoit:morganmartinez)

twentysomethingtales: So after much research and deliberation I went with Salon Bonaparte to deal with my hair. It’s no Annamarie Tendler, but it’s pretty good. I’ve decided to illustrate my new look with a phone conversation with a boy. Can you guess which parts I’m feeling most awkward in? luvthehair!

I’ve been wondering what this building was. It’s an arts school: LAUSD Central Region High School #9. Wow.

kindafabulous: The Boys of Million Dollar Listing (Bravo): (from left) Madison, Josh, and Chad… Ok, first of all, I love these boys (I know…). I find them hilarious, materialistic, very narcissistic, very savvy, a little bit retay (ok a LOT retay), entrepreneurial, whimsical, moronic, and emblematic of Los Angeles. When I was growing up in Hancock Park, we moved around a LOT. After my parents divorced, my father used to flip our houses. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. Because we moved 6 times within a 1 mile radius, we obviously had a really great relationship with our realtor, who happened to be the daughter of Dorothy Chandler (SOCIALITE-STATUS). I adored her. Of course, I thought moving from block to block every 2-3 years was normal as a child, so I embraced our real estate agent as part of the family. Whenever people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would proudly affirm: “A REAL ESTATE AGENT!” And why wouldn’t I? Our realtor lived in a huge mansion, drove a Jag, was really classy and glamorous, and she seemed to command a lot of respect from people. Now, whenever I would tell my mother about my “dream,” she would stop me and say, “Edward, why would you want to be a real estate agent? Anyone can be a real estate agent, you should aspire to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or a businessman like Daddy (Panamanian accent).” That was typical for my mother; she wasn’t trying to be a bitch, she just wanted her little son to get a master’s degree and have a 9-8. I both disagree and agree with her to a certain extent. Yes, ANYONE can be a real estate agent; it’s not hard to get your real estate license, but not just anyone can be a SUCCESSFUL real estate agent. To be a successful real estate agent takes many things: luck, charm, looks, class, knowledge of the housing market, a respect for architecture, an innate business sense, mediation skills, the imagination to envision what a property can be if it’s not, resourcefulness, a nice car, etc. In essence, I don’t think these boys are all that stupid (even though they are a tiny bit :)), because clearly they’ve done well for themselves, and I’ve seen them negotiate, and I respect them/what they do. At the end of the day, I love real estate, I love LA, and I’m happy that Bravo continuously capitalizes on kitschy truths like real estate agents are kind of like hustlers and it takes a special person to be a great agent. I take my hat off to them. reblogged for rob…

Decoded: los angeles housing rental ads

hydeordie:

Dana put together this SPOT ON glossary of terms you come across when you are looking for a new apartment in Los Angeles.  I am moving into my new apartment this weekend (yay!), but I wish I had this list while I was looking because it is so easy to get distracted by the word charming.

Since the condition of other people’s homes are my business, you can imagine how extremely fastidiuous I am in my personal rental search. If you are thinking of living in, or moving within, LA, you may want to check my small glossary of terms:

1. hancock park adjacent=  koreatown, or worse, the forgotten area that koreatown doesn’t even want. 2. “architectural”= unless the place is well over 2500, “architectural” means “has never been even remotely renovated.” 3. “charming”= (see “architectural”). 4. first floor apartment in charming neighborhood= you are ok with robbery, it does not phase you. 5. near all major freeways= gangland.  6. tinseltown= a neighborhood that hookers refer to as “their office”  7. newly remodeled= recently a maid came by.   8. first month free= no one wants this place, so you should not either.

gangland!

“ a kind of magical thinking takes over…by middle of the novel, I mean whatever page you are on when you stop being a part of your household and your family and your partner and children and food shopping and dog feeding and reading the post. I mean when there’s nothing in the world except your book. and even as your wife tells you she is sleeping with your brother, her face is a gigantic semicolon, her arms are parentheses and you are wondering whether rummage is a better verb than rifle.

macnc40: This is DEFINITELY my fav lip product at the moment! It’s by @occmakeup (check them out at http://www.occmakeup.com) They are known for their Lip Tars, which is what I’m wearing right now… it’s a special edtion called “Indashio” I pretty much have every color they have… I think I’m maybe missing maybe 4?  I need to get those ASAP. They are worth EVERY penny… (which isn’t that much… only $12.50!!) VERY pigmented and you literally only need a TINY drop to cover both lips!  Another one of my favorites is called Grandma. OH!! And I also used their airbrushing system & foundation on my face today… love love love it! (JASMINE: GET IT ALREADY. =P) I love that they have a lipgloss called “grandma”. Also, your nailpolish!!

Antichrist.

katiegeha:

I’m not even putting a picture up I found on the internet I loathed this movie so much. Meanwhile, here’s Chelsea’s text message review of Antichrist: “They make George and Martha look tame. Think less verbal sparring, more genital mutilation. Plus witches and animal afterbirth. A subtle nuanced masterpiece. It was sorta stupid.” At least we have our Halloween costumes figured out for next year.

UPDATE: Here is Chelsea’s FB review: I watched it all. Geha hid her face in her hands. What if lars von trier is just the michael bay of denmark?

reblogging this for rob who keeps mentioning this movie, in a way that makes me think he semi-wants me to agree to watch it, which is NEVER going to happen. see above: genital mutilation, animal afterbirth, michael bay, the end.
