randomness roundup

1. L.A. face with an Oakland booty
Last week, during my all-important blog-perusal time, I read an item in Broadsheet about an item called the Caboost. Uh huh. Caboost. What is it? Well, it’s the revolutionary push-up panty! Obviously! Did I just write “push-up panty”? Yes. I did. I’m not sure if this is like the previously-discussed VS Uplift Jeans, or if it’s not, but either way, wha-huh? As far as I can tell from reading the not-very-informative website, this revolutionary push-up panty makes booty happen where there was no booty before. Now, push-up bras I understand, but push-up panties? Really? Since when — outside of the brilliant work of Sir Mix-A-Lot, that is — has booty been such a hot commodity that assless women have been dying to fake it? I’m honestly curious. Because not once in my entire life have I ever thought “Dammit, I wish my butt were bigger.” Nope. Not a single time. And also? Call me crazy, but why would you buy something as horrible-sounding as a push-up panty when the same results could be achieved through dedicated consumption of cheese fries? Honestly, I think cheese fries have to be much more enjoyable, and, unless you do weird things with them that I never ever want to hear about, aren’t direct agents of the dreaded camel toe. I’m just saying.

2. BLOG! A! THON!
Because I will totally be writing about this until it actually happens so you might as well get used to it now, I thought I’d mention that the Blogathon is happening on the 29th and I will be blogging for The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation! Caryn is also Blogathon-ing and I know that Sarah and K are participating as well. While I would, of course, love to have you sponsor me, (and am already so very grateful to everyone who already has — thanks for helping me exceed my goal of $100!! — you guys rock!) I understand that sometimes it’s not possible to do the money thing and so it’s cool either way. But even if you can’t swing the monetary gift aspect of things, you can still help out by checking out the craziness on the big day, leaving comments and sending hilarious emails at 3 a.m. that make me laugh until I can’t breathe. Cheers.

(Note: To the anonymous sponsor who pledged $25 — thank you! Be sure to check your e-mail (your spam folder too) for a sponsorship verification from the Blogathon team… your pledge is showing up as unverified in the list.)

3. Because I haven’t memed in awhile…
Five things in my fridge
- Zucchini
- Feta cheese
- Yogurt
- Lemondade
- Strawberry preserves

Five things in my closet
- A shelf full of sweaters (and the dog sweatshirt that I never wear but I can’t get rid of because it is hideous and also because my grandma bought it for me at a yard sale)
- A hanging shelving thing full of shoes
- A plastic 3-drawer thing that has my socks, underwear and bras in it. Yes, plastic. Because I still decorate like a college student. You should see the corner that has plastic crates full of books… but I guess I didn’t need to mention that since it’s not in my closet.
- A very expensive kimono that was given to me as a gift that I’m afraid to wear because I’m sure I’ll ruin it
- My prom dress. Yeah. Because, you know, I might have to go to another prom sometime.

Five things in my purse
- My wallet
- Sunglasses case, which may or may not have sunglasses in it at any given time
- Burt’s Bees chapstick
- Ticket stubs from Superman Returns and Pirates of the Caribbean
- Receipt and rebate slips for monitor purchased yesterday

Wasn’t that thrilling? Exactly.

    Is that special lemonade imported from Florida?

    I saw a story on the TV news about women getting this surgery where they take fat out of their stomach-area and implant it in their butt. Then they can’t sit down for, like, two weeks. They showed this woman being driven around by her friend and she was face down in the passenger seat.

    I have plastic storage too, but it isn’t even hidden in my closet.

    My sister Kay is the only person I’ve ever known who actually WANTED a bigger ass. (She’s so ghetto.) She even had this “exercise” — hee! — that she thought would do the trick. It kind of looked like she was going to take a dump on the floor, to be honest. We’ve never let her live that one down.

    Heather — Wow. I won’t even say how long it took me to figure out your comment, but then when I did figure it out, I would leave everything as-is because heeee!

    Srah — Yeah, I’ve heard of butt-enhancing surgery as well, but I just think those people are insane. Especially because cheese fries are the answer. To everything. Ever. And the only reason the plastic drawers are in my closet is because there is no other place to put them and not because I’m clever enough to hide them… my closet door doesn’t even close, which is okay, because I think the doorknob fell off.

    Fraulein — Heh. I’m not sure that exercise is really the way to go for anyone seeking to embiggen the booty. (Did I just coin a phrase?) Of course, through the wonder that is genetics (and also through the wonder of cheese fries, I suppose, I mean, I’ve gotta keep my theme running), I have a booty that will not go away. No matter what. It’s not ginormous, but it’s there, and you know, it could go on vacation and I totally wouldn’t mind. I’m so sure you wanted to know that.

    I know, I know. But it’s not as funny if it’s obvious.

    I love burt’s bees. Well, and big butts for that matter.

    And now I have Sir Mix-A-Lot stuck in my head. “Oh, my God, BECKY…”

  8. jamelahon 14 Jul 2006 at 6:45 pm

    Hahaha! Yay! Sir-Mix-A-Lot is always quality.
