“She’s fashion roadkill!”

9 04 2008

God knows we’ve all been there. you are up on a catwalk and forget which way to go. Do you walk straight ahead, turn to left, turn to the right, or do you merely sashay chante as RuPaul instructed us? This woman makes the bold decision of stepping off the runway and into “no man’s land” in the middle with dubious results. This all took place at world famous Charleston’s Fashion Week… yes Charleston has a fashion week and if this video is any indication, its a fairly new concept. I simply CANNOT stop laughing at this video, so I am going to post it and we can all enjoy it.

Of course I thought that this was funny until I realized what a terrible problem this was becoming. If Princess Diana were alive today, I think she would do a public service announcement about it.

But this tragedy does not just strike the fashion runway, it can also claim innocent pageant contestants like this Miss USA finalist

sicko

22 01 2008

 I have been sick on my sofa for a couple of days now.  Nothing more than a bad cold, really.  I hate not feeling up to my best.  I had a pretty busy week last week.  I was busy at work, plus I had a charity cocktail party on Thursday night, so it was pretty crazy.  I woke up on Friday morning feeling like crap.  I had a cough and fever, but I had lots to do.  Fortunately for me I have the most awesome boyfriend who cooked for me and took care of me.

It has been a bit since I have posted a blog.  I have been so busy with work over the holidays.  I am on my way to Arkansas on Saturday to visit my family.  It has been months since I have seen any of them, so I am really excited to go visit them.  I have a love/hate relationship with my home state.  It is a beautiful and green place.  Many lakes and mountains and lots and lots of trees.  My whole family is there and I love them and I love visiting them.  The problem is that I don’t love being in Arkansas anymore.  It is an OK place to visit because of my family, but part of me will always hate the backward ass people who make up a large percentage of the state.  I have changed alot since I lived there, but the place has not… at all.

My family is great and I can’t wait to visit them and be with them again this weekend.  I have decided to visit more often, as a matter of fact.  I am planning a little cross country drive in the fall, and I hope that my guy Scott will come along.  I want to do a bit of an adventure.  Maybe just meet my family in Dallas and go to Six Flags.  I have been a big traveler for years, but now I want to do something different.  Lets see how I feel about it, after I give this a shot… haha.

Two Fat Girls on Mopeds and Instant Karma

17 10 2007

Let me start by saying that I in no way make a habit of laughing at other peoples disasters.  I have plenty of my own, so no need to provoke karma.  The other day I was driving down the street back toward my house when two fat girls on mopeds pulled along side me two lanes over.  The girls were large enough for me to notice that they were fat, not chubby girls or “big-boned” tomboy types.  These were heifers. Each of them was attempting to balance a grocery bag on each handlebar; yes two grocery bags per moped, plus a heifer each.
As they drove along I wished that I had my camera with me as I usually do.  I was unfortunate to leave the house without it this time, however.  I could see from the way one of the girls was driving that tragedy was about to occur.  She was wobbling about and driving unevenly.  I almost never go anywhere without my camera, because you never know what you are going to see.
The girl continued to steer eratically until disaster struck.  I was stopped at the light and I looked over and watched in horror as zaftig lovely number two simultaneously fell off her moped and ran over herself all at the same time!  Her groceries, mostly Weight Watchers frozen dinners and cat food, went everywhere.  The bike was on its side but still running over her!  Wow, this was amazing.  I jumped out of my car and ran over to them… I have a car because I am smart enough to know that I am not coordinated enough to ride a moped since I crashed my friend Shelly’s when I was 15.
We picked the thing off of her and she lolled and moaned around on the asphalt.  Very undignified, the whole thing.  I thing that she learned a very important lesson though.  If your ass is more than three times wider than the seat of a vehicle or motorized conveyance, then you should not attempt to opperate it.
All this reminds me of an incident in church one time that almost claimed the life of my best friend Stephen.  Most of my friends know Stephen as the cute, slight built bud of mine who is the only person who wants to travel with me.  Well we were sitting in church one Sunday back when our church was held at the Huntridge Theater and a three hundred pound black lesbian who was confined to a Lark motorized chair.  Her brakes went out on the chair and she came screaming down the aisle and crashed unceremoniously into the chair right beside Stephen.  He would have been flattened, and we would have never dug him from the wreckage.
And SPEAKING of embarassing moments; last week I went to Starbucks and got myself a vente soy latte and headed to my favorite store, Target.  I was foraging for some new workout clothes and such.  I had my cart nearly full when I picked up my latte and the lid came off and completely soiled every other thing in the basket.  I did not know what to do, so I just walked away ladies and gentlemen.  Of couse I would have eventually stained them once I had bought them, but there is no need to rush it.
I ran outside to my car and hopped in quickly.  As I jumped in, the ass of my shorts ripped right out!  Not in a seam even, and they were not at all tight.  I had to go right home and change beofre I could go on to the other Target on the several miles away.  It was very strange.  Instant karma.
