If this doesn't make you laugh, I'm not sure what will.

My increasing love of Sir Kenan Thompson is definitely there, but more importantly you cannot resist the JS dance moves in the background. What up with that? oooooh weeeee! Happy Holidays, folks. 

As I sit in this weekend, working (wine in hand), I always look to the Scissor Sisters for some fun jams. Along the way, I got inspired to re-visit one of my old Halloween costume ideas... pirate girl chic, from the 40s. Think of bright red lips, a "vintage" inspired hair-do and short shorts! Now I just need to find somewhere to wear it. What are you going to be this halloween?

With every country sending at least one female rep for the first time, the women of the US scored 29 of the 46 gold medals awarded! (That's 58 out of 104 total for US women).

This has never been truer than on Apple's first album in seven years, whose typically hard-to-digest title is partly The Idler Wheel — the part in a system of gears (on phonographs and cassette players, among other extraordinary machines) that, seemingly passively, helps other parts move. The feelings Apple takes on in her deliberately maddening, eventually addictive new songs are those that inch us along, filling up most of our lives: icky little feelings like petty jealousy, self-doubt, bored loneliness and shamed regret. This is the stuff we'd rather tamp down. Apple wraps her fingers around it and makes it unavoidable."

Listen to the entire album & read the full article here. 

While we're huge fans of Marc overall, this video definitely adds to his charm. In a candid interview on his life, habits and inspirations we get a rare glimpse into the designer's thoughts. 

On Paris "nothing can ever be the same as it was the first time- whether you came into something at 15 or 50 it doesn't really matter."

And just like that, Mad Men season 5 seems like it's gone in the blink of an eye! And guess what, Don actually made it an entire season without cheating... at least on-screen. While the twitterverse spewed out many mixed reactions to the season 5 finale last night, I appreciated it for all of the unspoken moments. The inner dialogue that has been central to characters like Don, Peggy, Pete and even Roger.

"There’s this sentiment I sometimes sense, creeping in our collective conscious... that it is somehow too late. That others are somehow ahead. More accomplished, more specialized. More on the path to somehow saving the world, somehow creating or inventing or improving. That it’s too late now to BEGIN a beginning and we must settle for continuance.... What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over... The notion that it’s too late to do anything is comical. It’s hilarious... We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have." - Marina Keega

Feeling sassy, hello summer! ps: Dear readers, I may have gone missing but ya girl was making moves.
