Aaaaaaaaaand we're back!

GREETINGS POPTARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've been away! I wont make excuses or bore you with details but, I've been away and for that I apologize. I've been slackin'! I am currently crafting a new post that will cover everything from a new lipstick to Britney's lackluster performance, of course some GAGA, and the return of rustic food! I hope to have it completed, edited, and up for your viewing pleasure just as soon as poosible! Hang in there! In the meantime do yourself a favor, (if you've been living under a rock and haven't already), go here https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/artpop/id687591810 and buy this album! ARTPOP is the bee knees. Get on it!

Be back soon!

Oh Lorde!

If you're not familiar with the gifted singer/songwriter out of New Zealand please do yourself a HUGE favor and get familiar quick! 

   Lorde, better known at home as Ella Yelich-O'Connor, is an incredibly talented artist with a voice that has been described as "suede-like". She's only 16 years old people! 16! At 16 I was...gosh, I don't remember what I was doing... because it wasn't anything significant!!! Her song "Royals" is already a huge hit and her album "Pure Heroin" was recently released. Tonight I jumped on iTunes to check out the Marc Jacobs beauty playlist I got for free at Sephora today, (I'll have a full report on my haul from beauty wonderland soon!), and discovered A: Marc Jacobs likes exceptionally strange music B: the iTunes free single of the week, Lorde's "Ribs". Of course I jumped on it! A virtual high five to the young Kiwi for yet another great track! This girl is someone to watch. If she doesn't win a Grammy next year for Best New Artist I'll be shocked. I will fall straight out of my own skin. I'll be back soon with a report on Anarchy, fried grilled cheese, and a follow up on Ms. Spears.

That's all for now my pop tarts!

Happy Sunday Bitches!

The artist formerly know as Un-Fitney has just released stills and a clip ( http://instagram.com/p/ev4siWm8A6/ ) from her upcoming video for "Work Bitch"...

 She looks AMAZING! With a song titled "Work Bitch", she better bring it!!! Brit-Brit, we're all rooting for you sweets! Don't disappoint!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IN OTHER NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally broke down and made a trip to MAC to purchase my favorite over-priced lipstick! MAC Russian Red is my FAVORITE classic red lipstick. It's a matte finish so if you like super glossy lipstick try pairing it with a nude or clear gloss to give it some extra shine. I wear it daily so I like to keep it matte but, do whatever tickles your fancy. Either way, DO IT!



Also, I had a plate of killer nachos for lunch courtesy of my rockin' roommate! She brought home the lovely grub from http://www.bar-reservoir.com/, our other girlfriend had the chicken and waffles and said they were awesome! Resevoir is located in the up and coming West 7th area of Ft. Worth. The crowd is young and beautiful and the food is super rad. People needs to know this place is out there! Spread the word! #exclamationpoint


That's gonna be all for now lovelies! Have a fantastic Sunday evening!

XOXO

This is happening...

Can we talk about this for just a moment...

Just in time for my birthday MONTH, the best month out of the year, my fave magazine is featuring my favorite pop muse on the cover of their October issue!!! Thank you Elle magazine, you never disappoint! Happy Birthday to me indeed!!!!

                      

Reinvent yourself...

                                                                            
  When I came to know THE material girl she was a buxom platinum blonde in a hot pink, floor-length, satin column gown adorned with an enormous bow. Dripping with diamonds and commanding the attention of every man in the room. WOW! What a statement! Thus began my obsession with pop culture and its cast of colorful characters...
                                                                             
 
   We have watched many of these characters evolve right before our eyes. Some handled their reinvention better than others and some not so much, (Mr. Sheen we're looking at you). And in my not-so-humble opinion, nobody has done reinvention better than Madonna the Queen of Pop, (although I tip my hat to Robert Downey Jr. for an incredible comeback. Bravo, Sir!). She's given us burning crosses, the infamous cone bra, and Kabbalah bracelets. We've had the pleasure of meeting Madonna Louise Ciccone, Ester, Evita, and Madge. Love her or hate her, her name has been in our mouths for over THREE decades. She has to be doing SOMETHING right! So, in the spirit of successful reinvention and with a nod to the material girl, I'm reinventing myself and this blog. You may or may not like it, hear me now, I don't care. I am going to write about the things I feel are interesting, fun, popular, stylish, delicious, and worth talking about! Sometimes it may be insightful, sometimes not. When it isn't I'm not going to feel bad about it!

   Look, I understand completely that writing/blogging/vlogging/etc. about pop culture, fashion, and what I like to eat isn't important in the scope of the universe. This blog won't earn me a Pulitzer Prize or an Oscar. I'm not going to change the world by talking about Louboutins and bacon but...I'm going to be doing something that I LOVE TO DO, and I will subsequently have fun while doing so! In a world weighed down by such heavy topics of conversation, a failing economy, and a seemingly never ending war wouldn't it be refreshing to simply talk about something fun and light-hearted every once in a while?! I mean, for Pete's sake let's just talk unabashedly about something totally mindless!!! I'm setting out for this to be fun and positive and happy...I think that's something even the Queen of Pop herself could get behind.

NOW...with that said...

  I will have topics on here that are going to be reoccurring themes. They are, (but are not limited to):
  
           Lady Gaga
           bacon
           cupcakes
           red lipstick
           weaves
           shoes
           cheese
           gel eyeliner
           beer
           and any current celebrity train wreck

I encourage all of you to chime in! Let me know what you want to talk about! Leave comments, questions, feedback, and opinions. I look forward to having you here in my little pop culture kingdom! Join me won't you?! Express yourself...




Boom! Glamour!

                                                                              

                                                                                
                                                                          


                                                                           

Getting into the spirit...

In the spirit of (re)direction, I'm completely overhauling this blog. It'll be REINVENTION at its best! Stay tuned!!!

XOXO
