helen ficalora chain


i really really want { this } chain from helen ficalora.

it's dainty and perfect and reminds me of my days of horseback riding...
doesn't it look a touch like a bit on a martingale?

mixie mixie


west villagers are going bananas for eskimix.
(ok... this is where i met ryan on grove... sigh)

not bad....
but guess what, nyc?

we have a little place called hogi yogi in utah where we've been spinning
our own yogurt flavors for YEARS.

for the FIRST time, nyc is SOOOO last season.

jo + jax


love my awesome friend joey.
she's gorgeous, talented (a brilliant choreographer and dancer--keep your eyes open for her in the upcoming weeks on a certain show that we all love), has legs for DAYS, and has launched a fabulous dance wear line with equally fab sister, jackie.

check out { jo + jax }

while their unis are amazing... i think my body craves the sweats more :)
i think i may have to have them for my pre-show warm-ups.

never can say goodbye.... no no no-no-no.


i discovered the king of pop when i was in 3rd grade.

it wasn't thriller... it was the jackson 5.
ironic, isn't it?
a white mormon girl from utah fell in love with music because of motown.
every night, i'd put my jackson 5: greatest hits cassette tape in my walkman and MJ and the boys would boogie me to sleep.
abc, ben, back to indiana, i'll be there, i want you back, never can say goodbye.....
pure, brilliant.
how i slept thru those grooves, i'll never know....

in high school, laree and i became obsessed with PYT and don't stop till you get enough.
word for word.

i'm so sad to lose him but happy he can finally find peace.
away from us.

it's that same old dizzy hang up.
can't live with you or without.
tell me why is it so?

don't wanna let you go.

we wanted too much, didn't we.

away i went.


really really great soundtrack.

yay! alexi murdoch.

i'm a little bit obsessed


with greg laswell.

hear him { here }

he's a bit matt nathanson with a splash of joshua radin
and a lot of sexy bass/bari goodness.

find him on tour.... sadly i'll miss all his near-to-me gigs.
give him a smooch for me, will you?

i don't think i'm turning japanese...


dd took me to a japanese bakery.
she likes it for the packaging.
when i think japanese cuisine, good sugar doesn't usually come to mind.
(trust.. i've lived there... it's always a little low on sugar/fat/all good things and high in red bean paste and strange fake substances...)
but... i decided to try a sensible cherry (surrounded in a jello nugget).


aaah!
jello nugget slipping off cherry .

5 second rule...


bleh! tastes like jello cough syrup... with a cherry pit.

nope. japanese pastry still not sweet enough...

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

hurray!


stellie spooning her mini-flamingo and little bear. she MUST sleep with ALL of her stuffed animals on the bed. it's a circus menagerie sleepover.


nugget and i are escaping the nyc rain and heading back to drier & sunnier climes.

must play before i'm strapped to the city for the next 6 months.
i'll leave her in utah while i work my head off learning birdie.

lucky girl!

{ twelfth night }


it is such a treat to have brilliant shakespeare in the beauty of our central park.
hands down, my FAVORITE nyc summer pastime.

i was supposed to attend the opening night, but i'll be back in utah-tah.... soooo...
i waited with the saigon posse @ the crack of dawn (ok, 8:30 am)
for my twelfth night tickets.


we actually had a blast and the time flew!


stellie joo-jie graced us with her presence.
ugh. my afro got bigger and BIGGER as the humid morning wore on..
.... which was very flattering on my sans-makeup'ed face.
but we DID meet a lovely new friend, zach.


safely in our seats and blessed with PERFECT weather.
the show was delightful.
loved my friend, stark, as sebastian. he was charming, nuanced, funny and had the most dashing entrance i've seen in many a moon!
audra was darling and
hathaway held her own!


post show nosh @ cafe lalo


i love this gang.


i love summer in the city!

coincidence? i think not.....


i had a shoe fitting for bbb.

looks like i'll be in hot 3 inch skinny 60's heels....

look what was on the wall!

our shoes pointing toward each other?
an omen.

poor jon + kate


maybe it was her bat crazy hair?
maybe it was his terrible decision to pierce both ears?

at any rate,
i'm sad for jon, kate, and the kids
and wish they weren't vilified.

dear kate,
if i had 3 million kids, i'd be just as demanding.

dear jon,
if i didn't talk EVER, i'd resent everybody around me.

i'm sorry.

bachelorette roundup 5


so many quote nuggets from tonight's bach:

i can taste it.
i eat it (as he suggestively licks his fingers?!).
it comes inside me and becomes a part of me.


i've already got six shows now.
i got all that publicity.
i already got what i wanted.

"pervy- psycho- untalented- cowboy," wes talking about the publicity for his "album".



you're a lot like my mom!
i just want to get her in my element...around the planes in dallas.
shame on me! i wanted to kiss her but i didn't.
goll-ee!!!
nice guys finish last. it's been the story of my life!
practically perfect jake (who, for the record, completely creeps me OUT!)



she knows i was blessed.
your feet are softer than *&%#. (hmmmm.... softer than what?)
gay mango-mango loving "foot fetish" referring to his package


random and disjointed thoughts:

ok... i'm sorry i blamed you, kip kip. YOU'RE not the awkward kisser, jill is.
she bucks back with hottie kip AND jesse.
HOW are you so fooled by that filthy so-and-so, wes!
how?!
jill, you're a hot mess!

ok... while fake jake isn't my fav (maybe just cause he was on tv?), he certainly should have stayed longer than "breakdancer/actor."

FINALLY, she kicked foot fetish to the curb!

could the show pay someone to write a new score for the show? i'm TIRED of the SAME themes over and over and over and over again.

the return of jake is brilliant!!!!
and did i tell you ed would be back?! teaser proves it.

also, can we retire the phrases:

i'm being treated like gold.
i feel like an absolute princess.
i want to take our relationship to the next level.
...the most dramatic rose ceremony in bachelor history.

reid is adorable (but the fact that he wore that nasty v-neck still haunts me), kipton is predictably darling (wouldn't be mad if he got his ears tacked back), and.......

i'm still missing ed (and i feel like he's the one that gets down on bended knee....).

my summer shades


cute as a button

the most divine shade of persimmon.


watermelon


the most punchy shade of.... watermelon.

shake shots


brgr is completely brilliant.

welcome, their new "shake shots."
5 oz shots of their famous milkshakes for girlies who need a little sugar but want to stay little.

see? you CAN have it all!

. my D .

. hawaii . 1983 . wearing dad's concentrated expression .

i know it's cliche to say words can't express my feelings about my dad,
but truly, they can't.
( seriously, i just got the lump writing that.)


this man has and will mean more to me than any other person on this earth.
he has tirelessly supported, lifted, challenged, and inspired me in ways i could never adequately describe.

so, simply,
my d taught me how to build:

sandcastles. dreams. beautiful relationships. a productive life. a thirst for knowledge. a reverence for things sacred . a devotion to great cheeseburgers and "best of" everythings. ikea and crate and barrel furniture. a foundation for anchors for the houseboat and for a testimony of the restored gospel. a reputation for hard work.
proper caramel popcorn.



. classic saturday morning 1983 . the "snow white" enchanted forest couch
(i'd hide under the "briers" and pretend to be snow white waiting for "true love's kiss"...
then my prince would find me and resurrect me with aforementioned kiss...
then repeat. ...and repeat, and repeat, and repeat. "snow white" never got old).


d is a partner in crime to witness:

sporting events. live theatre & music. pee-wee's playhouse on saturday mornings. lake powell sunsets. hamptons road trips in the winter . laughing-till-i-wet-my-pants funny moments. all of boston while driving a very lost car . all things disney. opening night (s). 1,000,000 hrs of dance/piano/singing performances . our mutual love for M and the girls . miraculous healing blessings of health, peace, and comfort.


you'll always be the first man i'll remember.
you'll always be the last man i'll forget.

happy father's day!

i love you tooooooooo much.
xoxo n

why does ryan reynolds


wear so much makeup?
holy moses!

eyeliner + a base that was WAY too dark for his skin.

i take my men without a full beat, thank you very much.

did you hear?


i'm so sad i'll be in rehearsals when this art summit is happening....

the ferneys, the lovelands, sussy!

oooooh i could be such an art goddess if only i could go.

sunset break!


my half-sister KT wrote the most beautiful tribute to her (and my fairy god)mother, sydney.
read it { here }

i celebrated her today by lunching with other syd godchildren as they had auditions for big broadway shows.... knowing full well that she orchestrated mine.
how proud she must be of all of us.

today, i miss watching moonstruck under a full moon on the back lawn and
learning how to make grilled cheese sandwiches on an ironing board.

....and always, sunset breaks.


rain, rain, go AWAY!!!!


i woke up to bummer news....

the rain postponed the yankee game so late that
i had to give up my seat in the luxe suite
(had tix to see the final installment of the norman conquests)!!

and

i found out that my not-so-secret MALE crush kissed a dear MALE friend of mine.....
is it sad that i found it consoling that he did it while on cocaine?


grey skies are gonna clear up?

dear ryan on grove,



i know your name is ryan.
i know you live on grove street.

and a boy who has a sleeping girlfriend at home would talk about.

i know i liked you.
i know you liked me.

i hope we meet again.

yup.

sojourn


my new friend, brett, owns sojourn- an amazing restaurant on the upper east side.

DD and i taste tested it for you and can assure you, it deserves our stamp of approval
(which, believe it or not, does not come easily).
dd also says the cocktails are pretty inventive and delish....

we died over:
goat cheese and beet salad with pistachio
crispy artichokes
sweet pea ravioli
kobe beef sliders with ginger ketchup
and
blueberry cheesecake

this is what i'm ordering next time:

churros
with mexican chocolate dipping sauce


and the old standby chocolate situation.

go. it's a new favorite.

check mate


so CHESS with grobie, idina & pascal is premiering tomorrow night on PBS great performances.

when i met josh groban, he was rehearsing "anthem" for chess.
yes, friends, i heard him live.
in the same room.

he 's truly glorious.
and the nicest guy. a real dude.

i'll be recording it.

baby boy names?

my cousin just had her baby boy so we're swimming in boy names.....

zaxson= not my favorite

what are your favorites?

(photo by sussy of the new tiny's cousin)

please tell me


you're watching kathy and her horrible mis-matched hair extensions.
no one makes me laugh harder.

and your bubbies and you are planning on watching the catfight .... i mean.... finale of the real housewives of new jersey.


see that dvf dress jaqueline (who just popped her 3 rd baby. congrats!) is wearing on the left?
i picked up that girl at the sample sale last year....
she's so last season.

bachelorette roundup 4


woah! so much to say....

break dancer- let's call him the { more handsome } "jesse" of the season.
cute. dumb. not for her.

reid- adorable. and super byu'ish.

country star- HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING RECORD?!? and WHAT were you thinking when you wore that hobo costume to the rose ceremony?! and WHY do you always look a little bit buzzed? and what is with the bandana shirt you keep wearing?

ed- my new favorite... maybe surpassing kip kip.... i smell a TWIST! he's def coming back before the final 2. he's totally my style. i adore him. pretty sure the ending shot of the "ed shrine" confirmed my comeback suspicions....

that guy who got kicked off- who are you? were you on this show the entire time? i've never seen you before.

foot fetish- lasts another week....pretty sure he's there to be the mole. he's only keeping that secret so she'll keep him around.

jess- boring. looks like the high school QB TB who would sit on the back of a rusted pick up with a pabst blue ribbon and that gnarly hatching goatee.

kip kip- AW.K.WARD kissing. awkward sauce.

jilly- again... stop drinking. you're making a fool of yourself. also, the silvery frosty eyeshadow is tragic on everyone (remember? we all learned that lesson from that forgettable girl who jason picked last season). nice turncoat on ed-pretending it was ok for him to go and that you "totally understand" then slamming him with the "we don't have the same priorities" red card was totes unfair. boo. the kanye glasses were tragic mistake but props for bringing back the sorel boot!
was i mistaken or did she say "him and me" at one point?
classy grammer, sister.


teasers- confirming that perfect pilot has problems in the bedroom???? it's all coming together now...and , i'm sorry, WHY are we hearing about it? "when in bachelor history" have we ever heard details about the overnight stay?
gay footsie taking off his pants and ferociously humping the air?! go HOME!

i'm suddenly loving this.

Monday, June 15, 2009

i would very much


like these prints for my collection.
thank you.

amy abshier reyes
doesn't she look like a woman up to no good?!
i love it.
"i miss the idea of you"
aimee sicurro
been there....


aimee sicuro

a nod and reminder to practice more.

gentle giant


my friend matt is super tall.

his hips start at my shelf.

that's a lot of leg....he should be a basketball player.

..... or a rockette.

Sunday, June 14, 2009

i'm afraid to ask....


does anyone know what this is?

found: mystery object in fridge left by subletter.

seriously don't know what it is....
even kelly moon is stumped.

wait.... don't tell me.

no... tell me.

i think stellie is homesick....


pretty sure she believes that if she sits in her airplane carrier long enough
it'll inspire me to take her back to utah.

poor nugget.

bali hai bra.


i spent the day with my co-favorite asian finding a
suitable pacific audition dress + sensible bra.

we had to find a suitable minimizer (this asian has bubbies) and my dear mot made me an expert in the shrink-the-boob arena.

she ended up going with my high school favorite, ironically...
and this cute number from gap. .. dont' worry... i told her to pull the slip down in the back... after the fact, natch.

she looks gorg-and 5 lbs skinnier than her already size O frame.
never ever underestimate the power of a great bra!

coldstone is racist.


apparently they think we spanish speakers only care about "naranja con vainilla."

NO other flavors had espanol subtitles.
no bueno ....

Friday, June 12, 2009

guess you really can't stop....


found on a vending machine @ the PC outlets

yeah... i often take pringles on upside down rides.

totally normal.

Thursday, June 11, 2009

rub a dub dub


those nasty subletter boys molded out my fab terrycloth hotel linens shower cutain....

wish i could afford { this } girl.

or that i knew how to sew ......

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

a lovely day in the theatre.


i saw the matinee of the norman conquests which was hilarious, heartbreaking, and a brilliant acting class.
i saw the first play of the trilogy (can you imagine seeing all three in one day?! 8 hrs of theatre?! amazing) but i'm totally compelled to see the rest of the show.
if you don't have time to see all three... one is pretty complete.. but you'll still want more.


then i met abbie to see every little step.
it was so inspiring and intense considering we knew nearly everyone in the documentary and even saw ourselves in some of the audition sequences.
i think the most touching moment was when the actors found out they'd booked the job.
no better feeling.

i'll write about the bbb audition process soon... it's always life changing.
it's never just a show.

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

put on a happy face


ok lovies.... so i've had to keep mum for much too long about this while we negotiated.....
if you've been following my twitter,
i'm sure you probably connected the dots from my not-so-cryptic references to the stamos....

i BOOKED it!

i'll be understudying

this pretty lady as Rose Alvarez

in bye bye birdie on broadway this fall!

.....which means i'll be smooching

this guy
{ have MERCY!!! }
when i go on for her.....

and hey, i wouldn't mind a little off-stage lip lockage with uncle jess....
alls i'm saying....

here's why it's cool:

1. it's my second broadway show
(which may mean it WASN'T a fluke accident that i booked GREASE)

2. bbb will be the FIRST show in the brand new {and green} henry miller theatre
(which is embarrassingly close to my apartment)

3. it's a limited run so i won't have time to be over it.
{ previews: september 10 | opening night: october 15 | closing night: january 24 }

4. i'll be an onstage cover... probably as one of the moms... hidden upstage with glasses and a hat. so i'll be in every show.

5. Robert Longbottom is directing and choreographing. he's completely brilliant. i've wanted to play with him ever since i fell in love with SIDE SHOW.

5. uncle jesse. enough said.

i'm SO excited.

book your tickets now!
nyc is divine in the fall.

and for those of you who don't know uncle jesse's work with the rippers.....
watch this gem of a music vid.
note my favorite parts:

the extraneous jewels in the first 5 seconds.
peek-a-bo with the guitar.
the holey jeans....

cut. it. out.

new friends are so flipping awesome.

i met my style soul mate on the subway today.
my pick up line was asking about these flips.
needless to say, we're putting sample sale dates on the calender.
man, i'm a girl's girl.

aren't they amazing?!

think they may be a pressie once my new paycheck comes in....
see other groovy styles { here }

excellent for brides @ the end of the night.....

hamsa


evil eye
oh yeah... free shipping...

bachelorette roundup 3


ugh.
the D.R.A.M.A.

first of all, can we talk about how boring jill has gotten?
what happened to our fun/funny spitfire?
she's so tragically boring, serious, and asexual, i can't stand it!

secondly, the juan ousting was a tad shocking, no?
again... she was too knackered to oust foot-fetish.
lay off the booze, jill... and stuff some powerbars in your bra so you're not saucing on an empty quick-to-drunk-town stomach.

i have to admit i was a bit disappointed that "mother trucker" didn't have a total meltdown. that would have made such great tv!

the girlfriend revelation seems to be a bit blown out of proportion
but it makes for a delightful witch hunt!
look out abigail williams.

burn him at the stake!


glow - brite

every now and then, you just need to golf @ 2 am.

it's pretty fun ... for two holes....
it's also called trespassing...

....details.

a good friend can eyeball your foot size....

dd picked up some sweet custom made sandals from the Philippines for my big bday!

i think they're outstandingly groovy.


aren't they major?!

2nd annual shake shacktacular birthday bonanza happened tonight...


complete with a puppy buffet,


girlies (that's so anna+lisa+raven)


beloved fb's and current fab gf's


friends from hairspray, saigon, church, grease, life...


and the annual chick-shack-attack photo.
(what the h*%& is happening with my fro?!
the humidity shrunk those curls into tight coils. sick. )

love you, dear friends!

jury duty

Totally sucks.

Moved back to NYC.

Apartment a total mess- must bleach everything.

Stellie's depressed.

Had fun at a stagehand wedding.

Camera stolen @ afore mentioned wedding. Precious video/photos lost .

Missed the Tonys . Thrilled for the billy boys.

Blogger not accessible in the courthouse.

Good news coming.... Hold tight.

g.i. jack auditions for captain li-shang.

video

so g.i. jack from saigon is one of the most drop dead handsome men i've ever met.... so handsome, in fact, that he was the face of disney's prince charming (s) for years.

he was once cast as capt. li-shang from disney's mulan and once the production team heard him over the mic.....well.... they gave him some advice to sound more "straight."

here i am giving g.i. jack (in his buidoi mustache and rice patty hat) a mulan masterclass using the actual suggestions from the disney team. (sorry... i had a hard time keeping it together)

you're welcome.

so we think RANDI can dance


our long-time family friend, randi, made the top 20 on so you think you can dance!!

sisters and i are completely bananas for the show and even more thrilled
that our girl is going to storm that stage!

love that they loved her unitards courtesy of jo + jax
our good friend, joey's dance- wear line.

wait till you see who is choreographing the broadway combo next week!

so happy for sweet randi.
love when orem girls represent!
she's brilliant!

vote randi!!

athleta


my bestie, nan, has a definite style (which i think is super groovy considering my split-personality gemini-ness overflows into my eclectic taste in wardrobe). i could shop for her in a heartbeat.

i think she'd dig this skirt/capri from athleta


and this is for me.

this is completely brilliant.



thanks to miss latimer for the vid & tutorial!
shannO and Kel, you'll live for this. trust.
pretty sure my friend, mark, is in the last shot...

dying daisies.


still heartbroken that pushing daisies wasn't renewed.
so happy the last 3 episodes are airing.

next fresh dose: june 6

Monday, June 1, 2009

ok.. so reid.


i agree with you.
he's gaining momentum...

but seriously... i only omitted him from the roundup because of this slumpy- shouldered- gay-looking- fat-appearing-wide-v-necked embarrassment of a photo.

definitely more humiliating than being named something crazy.

bachelorette roundup 2


i tuned in a 1/2 hr late and felt like i was in the twilight zone...
WHY do they have these RIDICULOUS group acting dates?! i thought the soap episode last season was ridonk, but wild wild west?? that was insanely painful and not remotely funny or interesting.

the actor- robbie. welcome to the house. you're cute. but an actor/bartender? eek. run, jill.

mother trucker- CONTINUES to drive me bananas. wooooooah, dude. somebody needs a sedative. i'm sorta glad she kept him around. i'm hoping that pot to boils over next week.

juan- i LIVE for the mexican guitar and castanets they play everytime he makes an entrance.

wes- i CANNOT STAND you. really? 3x's with that horrible song? seriously? get a grip, you sappy cowboy! watch, he's REALLY from minnesota or something... affected twang.

kip kip hooray- continues to be the ONLY viable option. and all y'all who know him.... set a sister up. he's darling.

foot fetish- you are gay and that's OK. jillian's feet need to take out a restraining order.

ok...true confession: i've owned this dress for a total of one week and i've worn it 3x.
it's ridiculously flattering.

loving shabby apple's manhattan line.

where's stellie?


while i was away, auntie ali and her buddies took care of titi-nani.
looks like she had fun.... or was completely tortured.
thanks, lovies!

im a little bit flamingo....


we hit the donny & marie show @ the flamingo in vegas.
first of all.... they both look and sound A.MAZ.ING.
seriously.
m was belting e's and f's and donny was crystal clear. genius.
pretty sure i should start nutri-system after seeing marie's hot little bod.
i was blown away.


we decided posing with life size cut-outs, headshots, and VIP passes was even more fun than hanging with the real D and Auntie M.

comedian george wallace asked if i'm marie's sister.
i said "yes," natch.

cousin whit, sussy, and i at the fake flamingo petting zoo....
please look at the deranged look on sussy's face.


viva las vegas!
