my frosty brings all the boys to the yard



not much to say other than i just shot 6 commercials in 2 days and i feel every second of my almost 40 years (tomorrow). it was all a lot of fun though, i got to work with my favorite director peter siaggas on all the spots. my dear friend loren tarquinio (his wife anna is my bestie)
and i shot 4 of the commercials yesterday for a flooring company. i don't have any pics from yesterday b/c my camera went dead. just the pics from the hooter's commercial. as you can see i looked pretty fucking ridiculous. complete with cherry red eyebrows and freckles. below is jamie who played ron mcdonald. duh. and you might be able to tell how they squashed my boobs down as much as is humanly possible...

the hooters set:
this was pretty much all the hooters girls did all day...text...(and that old guy was the food stylist who pretty much hung out here all day when he wasn't making my cheeseburger look fresh)
it was awesome to do what it is i love to do and frankly what i do best..and that is act. it's where i am happiest. it was sucky to be away from all of you guys though. especially from all of your blogs and i can't wait to catch up with all of you.
tonight i am celebrating my birthday with a special dinner my husband has been planning...
more on that tomorrow!
peace out lovers..

don't cry


i am going to be working on a hooter's commercial for most of today (thursday). i will miss you all.
will be back with some (more than likely ridiculous) pictures of the day later tonight.
btw. NOT as a hooters girl.

just what you need, another fucking wallpaper post

i saw some pretty papers that i had not seen before, either that or early alzheimers is settling in. in any case i think there is one for everyone here...

how sexy is this red and black number?? a powder room perhaps? or even a dining room?

this one is designed by mark mothersbaugh , aka the lead singer of DEVO. modern kabin kitsch?

dainty but statement worthy:

this is soooooo not me, but i love it anyway. it's what malibu barbie would have in her den:

it's the ones that from a distance just look like pretty swirlies but on closer inspection reveal swans that get me. also, if you step away from your computer it kinda looks like yosemite sam's mustache.


bold and pretty and classic but with a bit of edge, like me:

this one stopped me in my tracks. this one in my sitting room a la hamish bowles:


i did not know beaded glass wallpaper existed! this takes it to another level.

it's like sequins for your walls!!

good in an entry:

this would be cool in framed panels in a dining room:

so there you have it. another wallpaper post in the blogosphere. i hope i at least brought you one or two you hadn't seen. lots more here.

crones

in honor of turning 40 this weekend i needed a reminder of just how hot 40 can be. now i chose women that, to me, looked as though they had little to no work done. just hard work and good genes on their part and maybe a botox injection here or there. so, sorry nicole kidman...you used to be a fine example of beauty at 40 but not anymore. now you just look like a wax version of yourself.

i give you tha hotness:

michelle O 45

cate blanchett 40

catherine keener 50!!! get the fuck out! i had no idea..did you?

halle berry 43

jennifer aniston 40

julia roberts 42

jlo 40


the supermodels:

elle macpherson 46

christy turlington 40

linda evangelista 44

naomi watts 41

renee zellweger 40

(you almost didn't make my list renee bc i wasn't sure if you had a lot of work done, but i think your face is just kinda fucked up to begin with. but your still pretty hot for 40)

salma hayek 43 (look at those chi chi's SGM)

sandra bullock 45

marisa tomei 45

clearly halfway to your grave is not an excuse to not look amazing.
go 40!!!!!!!

birthday slash christmas needs

i know...needs is a strong word. how about wishes? although as my husband is wont to say.."you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which comes out fulfilled first..." charming AND smart!!! but i am turning 40 this saturday and feel this week of blog posts needs to honor the passing into crone. and this crone needs some things...
for starters i will take 7 yards of this lee jofa fabric for my new 85 dollars craigslist chair...

i would also like to wake up every morning to this:


this cookbook of healthier baked options:

as well as this one, cuz momma needs to lay off the meat for a while:

this book of walton ford paintings so that i can frame some around the hizzy:

this globe for fiona's room (i'm not totally selfish):

lookie it lights up!!!

and these...also for fiona...her birthday is also this month and i want to give a few of these as party favors and then keep the rest for decorations for the party.

how amazing are these colors together...lime, lavender, ochre, cream and faded ruby...

and i am really not opposed to this:

so if anyone out there wants to buy me this stuff that would be awesome.
thanks.
love,
40.
