pop it and lock it!


that's what i was learning recently at a private pole dancing event. strippers deserve some credit ladies, okay, they may not be saving for college but they work hard! the quiet girls did the best job and i'm so not a quiet chick, so i struggled (the fact i have hyper-mobile joint syndrome & I was sick didn't help haha)! take a look at how much fun we had!

everyone started out with heels on and took them off as soon the class started

we had tons of booze, champagne, mike's lemonade, etc (being tipsy and learning the moves was not easy, lol)

i was the only one to wear heels the whole time!

towards the end C put on her heels (it's actually easier with heels on)
also, the instructor was so awesome, she was holding herself up there for a good minute, we had user issues when someone tried to use my camera, we were so scared she'd fall on us (hence the awkward stance) LOL!

and for all the haters that have come across a beauty blogger i love (she knows who she is b/c she is sad i'm switching from a blackberry to the htc evo! no more bbm'ing for us, *sad*)

Long lost OOTN/OOTD

You guys know how bad I've been this year in terms of posting photos, it really irritates me! I don't have the time or the energy. Work is beyond craziness, working 12 hour days, my commute has been extended by 2 hours every day since we moved our HQ to Washington, DC. Don't get me wrong, I like being in DC...but commuting there is redonkulous, no joke!! I hate the Metro system (i follow blogs specifically created to point out all the IDIOTS that ride and work at the Metro), I hate the traffic, I hate the $300-$500/month parking fee's, the stupid parking signs that contradict each other, I hate it all. My first few days in DC I was very confused, taxes felt inflated, so I asked several cashiers why the total was higher...only one was able to yell there's a 10% tax on all food. Then there's the 5 cent surcharge on every bag you get at a food establishment, that doesn't bother me, it's just less to go into a landfill. So my lunches are much more expensive now (not due to the tax though) and the customer service in DC compared to Bethesda, MD (couple miles out of DC) does not compare!! I hate people that have a job and make it very clear they hate & don't care about their job. Suck it up, be glad you have a job! I sure am, despite my complaints I put on a good face! I've had way too many fights with people in DC, way too many and for so many reasons. I need to just accept that people are mean in DC. smh --- wait a minute, wasn't this post on long lost ootn's? tangents...i am the queen of tangents

i think i'm venting b/c i lost a best friend to cancer Saturday @ 2 am (23 yo) and i'm trying to hold myself together. i will attend the wake tomorrow night and the funeral wednesday. i ask you pray for the family please.

on to the ootn/ootd

off to Bethesda for some music to make me dance!

Stella & Dot

hi ladies and gents, today i bring you a post on a jewlery company i was made aware of recently through a really great friend of mines (she was my makeup artist for my wedding). back in july she held a trunk show for stella & dot jewelry, unfortunately i ran really late to the show due to the fact we had a tornado warning in effect that day! as i was about to leave the house, this showed up...
7/25/10 Rockville, MD
Tornado
things were flying around and let me say it was scary! the stylist (also named Janine and married to a George, lol) had to pull over to an empty parking lot to wait for the storm to calm down.
7/25/10 Rockville, MD

this lasted for about, i dunno, an hour or so and then guess what?
7/25/10 after the
Rockville, MD Tornado - OMW to the Stella & Dot Jewelry Party
the sun came out!

the show was so much fun, despite the fact power was out, it was house and the sun was going down! i loved the jewelry so much i was finding windows to stand in to see the jewelry on me! i ordered the necklace and it arrived at my house very fast in perfect condition, i love how they come packaged, so much care!

i am planning on selling this jewelry because i really believe in this company and the jewelry is just plain gorgeous, there were so many pieces i didn't expect to like but the stylist asked me to try it on and wham i fell in love! ladies, be ready to start placing orders, i promise you won't regret adding some stella to your wardrobe! did i mention stella items were mentioned in six of the last twelve issues of InStyle? their jewelry is worn by many celebrities.

here's jennifer love hewitt sporting the "natasha bib necklace" so cute! the necklace is perfect to wear with a white tee or with a black cocktail dress!
