Ramblings Of An (un)Caffeinated Mind 9.4

Hmmm

Not sure what got a hold of me yesterday. With the exception of taking The Calvinator out for his mid-day and evening strolls, I pretty much stayed on the couch. I watched Touch Of Pink (cute movie) and Showgirls (not so good movie). I watched some repeats of Make Me A Supermodel. Finally around 330p or so I started feeling like I was coming back to life. I know that if I had gone to the office, a few extra shots of espresso prolly would have given me a kick start but then I would have crashed hard.

I made it to LeFittes and did a lite weight workout. Spent some time in the steam room trying to loosen up some congestion.

Just When You Think You Have Heard It All

Did you know that there is a rock opera about Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan? LOL Yes! The opera is named Tonya and Nancy: The Opera. It premiered the other night in Portland, Oregon. I heard on the telly that Tonya was in the audience and loved it.

Hillary

So while I was laying on the couch, I checked email and there was announcement that Hillary was going to be in Houston. Surely (don't call me Shirley) this was a mistake. The email arrived a few hours before the event and I had just heard she was in Ohio. Then I thought, oh...it's just a rally. Well, one of the talking heads on the telly said that she was really here! UGH! I didn't have anything to wear and I figured it would be over by the time I got there. Oh well. As it turns out, the venue only had room for 400 people and 200 got left in the parking lot trying to get in. That would have been me.

A friend was at the Hyatt the other night when Bill made his appearance at a fundraiser for Hillary. The friend said that Bill hasn't lost his touch. Gave a great speech.

Still haven't talked to anyone who sipped Margaritas with Chelsea the other night. However, if you want to see some pics of Chelsea at Cyclone Anaya's-Midtown, click here. (There are some Obama Rally pics in the mix.)

NoRO Weather

Not to rub it in to anyone south of the Mason Dixon Line or for that matter south of Fort Worth-Dallas but as I'm blogging, I'm sitting outside while The Calvinator runs around and it is 81 degrees Fahrenheit and not a cloud in the sky. Went for a short but difficult run...don't have my mojo...this morning because the weather was too nice not to be outside.

Oscars

For those of you who don't know this, the Academy Awards aka The Oscars are tonight. This is the Gay Super Bowl. Can't say that I have seen any of the movies but I will be watching the telly. Gonna be interesting what with the writers' strike just ending and all. Vanity Fair canceled their party so Madonna and Demi Moore have stepped up to the plate and will throw a bash tonight with an exclusive guest list. I'm sure this party will be in A League Of Its Own. Madge must have known that I couldn't make last minute travel plans so she didn't invite me. No worries Madge. I still love you.

Project Runway rehab no, no, no

As mentioned in the previous post, my allergies have been bothering me so I've been napping most of the day and catching up on Project Runway news.

David Dust and Running My Mass Off both posted about a follow-up show to Project Runway. Get this. The name is Sew Not Over.

I also caught up with all of Fashion Week news by reading Project Rungay and Blogging Project Runway.

This all comes on the heels of watching Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency and getting caught up in all of her drama. I just that train wreck!

And on Thursday night, the models on Make Me A Supermodel appeared in fashion shows during fashion week. All of this is making me want to pull out the dvd Unzipped and continue on the overdose of all things fashion related.

In the midst of all this, David Dust sends me an email and says: I actually walked past Bryant Park today (on my way to the dollar store), and I saw some chick on the street carring a shopping bag from...wait for it...The Spandex House! I laughed my ass off, right in the middle of 6th Avenue!

Oh to be in NYC this past week!

Speaking of Spandex House...I'm actually blogging and watching a repeat of Wednesday night's Project Runway episode. Chris cracks me up! He knew exactly what he wanted at Spandex House. He knew where to find it. He was in his element.

I wonder if the foot traffic and hits to website have increased for Spandex House. I think on my next trip to NYC I may have to drop in.

Based on these designs, it appears that they have quite the selection of spandex and lycra.

I like Rami's shirt. Hate the wrestler's costume.

Prior to watching the PR WWE episode, I watched the denim episode. I forgot about Nina Garcia's comment about Sweet P's dress. She said, "Any of us girls, with the exception of Michael, would wear that dress." Michael Kors says, "with the right shoes..." LOL

What would you do for a Klondike Bar?

Last week's episode of Make Me A Supermodel was all about chemistry. For the photo shoot, the models were paired up. A few were asked to stretch their boundaries. The gay guy had to play it straight and two straight guys had to play it gay. Here is the video.

Edit: Oh...forgot to tell you. So when the judges discussed who did the best job in the photo shoot and on the cat walk, the gay guy and the straight made it in the top 4 and the two straight guys who had to play it gay made it in the top 4. So I must ask again, "What would you do for Klondike Bar?"
