Oh My Word! The Countdown to SATC 2 The Movie!!!!

The official trailer has been posted online! I simply love Sex and the City! The shows, the movie, the books, the whatever! SATC represents being single being in NYC and loving it! But more than that...oh the fashion! I love watching the show and the movie just to see what they are wearing. The Jimmy Choo's, the Manolos, the Louboutin's, the Hermes, the Prada, the Chanel, the Dior...shall I go on? I really would die going through the closet and this feeling is not an exception for the second movie. I am dying to see what they have in store for the fashion in this movie. And I pray that this movie will have a book of the fashion documented, which I am sure they will since the first movie's fashions were all documented. I have to say I am intrigued with Patricia Field and her sense of style and what she has changed for the face of Sex and the City. If anyone remembers the first season of SATC and the pilot, oh God...atrocious! But Patricia Field started to change massively and you can see the evolution of the fashion on the show. The woman has an eye and has a talent to put things together and make them look oh so phenomenal. So I can't wait to see what they have in store for this movie. Not only for the story plotline b/c I have no clue what this one will be about this time around, but the fashion hopefully will top the last. Here is a the link to the trailer for the movie...enjoy! And you get a small taste of the fashion...TOO EXCITED! Time to fall in love again with the characters! Hope everyone gets their sippy on this weekend! Cheers!

SEE YOU THERE!

The Price of Beauty?

So I happened to be watching T.V. and came across Jessica Simpson's new show called "The Price of Beauty" and I couldn't help but be intrigued with what the show was about. So the whole concept is her going across the world parlaying and doing her thing and being silly and "dumb" but not "dumb"-Newlywed-dumb, this is a more matured out new-dumb, but for some reason I am drawn to her dumbness. That was probably mean...I will always have a soft spot for Jessica Simpson. She seems like a cool, nice, down-to-earth chica. And that I always have to respect. So back to the show. So far I've seen 3 episodes, she's traveled to Thailand, India, and Uganda and it's been interesting. So for those who haven't seen the show it is about Jessica going around the world finding what "beauty" means around the world. And you experience what "beauty" or how "beauty" differs from country to country. The most interesting was this recent episode about Uganda about fat being a "good" thing. It was alarming to see and hear how fat is regarded to be something of desire. And I've heard that some African countries do regard bigger women as something better, but it was interesting to hear the logic of why and supposedly since they are farmers the more cows they own the more they are of worth b/c they are generating more money/income from these cows and since cows represent status for them they want their wives to represent cows. WHAT?! When I heard that, lord, my jaws dropped, b/c in a not so discreet way these men want their women to look like cows hence the fatness. It was such an interesting logic of why they feel it represents their status, but when asked if their wives wanted them to fatten up they said they can't because they need to be fit to keep up with their herd. So I ask, is this way of life even feasible? I understand it's their culture and their way of beauty, and by all means, there is no label to "beauty" which is what this show is striving to achieve so people understand the different facets of beauty. BUT should be some time of limit? Or am I wrong? Is it enabling these women to die at an earlier age? I do think "beauty" is multi-faceted, BUT at the same time where is the limit...to purposefully fatten yourself to be more suitable to a man. It's like if you purposefully lose weight by being anorexic and only eating lettuce leaves and thats it. It's wrong either extreme. It should be a choice, but it shows you to see that women will go to any extent to get men's approval or to be "desirable." Whether it's fattening up in a java-hut-fattening-hut or not eating at all...either extreme is wrong. Being TOO skinny is not desirable and being TOO fat isn't desirable. It's always good to realize that living a smart and healthy way will always keep you happier and more focused in life. But I do believe the message she's trying to portray in this show could definitely send young women a positive message, which may benefit them into understanding that beauty really can be seen in SO many different ways. So let's see what other countries she will visit, next stop is Morocco. Fun! I think that may be interesting for sure. I won't lie I like watching the show for the sheer fact of being a guilty pleasure, but I do think this show is trying to achieve a "deeper" meaning. But sure why not! Make me laugh, make me not think too hard after a long day at school....SCORE! Well kids, remember to sit back, relax, and sippy sip on a cocktail! Cheers! Till next time!

The story...

It's a funny story actually...once upon a time in a far far away land right outside of oh my L.A., one of my best friends who is in medical school happened to be wandering around the bars of a little town outside of L.A. and happened to be par oozing and getting her drink on with her friends. Well this little lady needed another drink, because it was time to let loose and forget all her worries from being such a studious and A+ student, she contemplates,

"What shall I drink, so I can forget everything and not remember a single thing the next morning I wake up?"

"Why of course, anything with vodka in it!"

"Mr. Bartender, give me your finest vodka!"

Mr. Bartender goes and ta- da! Out comes the Roberto Cavalli voodh-ka...what do you know?

"How about some Cavalli vodka, miss?"

Thus bringing me to the beautiful story of how the name of this blog has come about...in efforts to help me come up with a "BRILLIANT" blog name she happened to be naming all such things (fashion related) that did not intrigue me at all and all of a sudden she mentioned to me as if she was giving me information [just in case if I didn't know], "Hey, p.s. Roberto Cavalli makes vodka!" Ummmmm BRILLIANT, GENIUS! That will be the name of this blog! So starts the beginning of this new blog. I'm talking fashion, music, celebs, FOOD, whatever! Let's get to parlaying...and remember to sit back, relax, drink a cocktail, and enjoy the show! Cheers!
