Some highlights of SB ’10

• Having a grand mal seizure in a local hot spot (just kidding )
• Seeing my darling nearly everyday!
• The Weather
• A Smithville late lunch/stroll around the village
• A cute little bird flying into Mr.KF’s house in the middle of the night
• Seeing the Picasso Show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art!
• Trying a new/different restaurant called Garces on 11th and Locust in Philly! Highly recommend it!!!

And its only Saturday….

Oh I also bought that new Scrabble Slam game, love it! Super fun!! My family is obsessed with word games soo I had to include that!

In other news (that may have popped up on my AOL homepage), India is trying to ban Lindsay Lohan from its country for not having a permit or something before she helped little impoverished/exploited children. Grr why exploit kids to begin with??? I did not know you needed a permit to help people? And shit, that is one of the only things I have ever heard her doing to physically help humankind, just let her have it India… I feel like she can’t catch a break with the media.

LiLo does have an awesome wardrobe judging by this years Fashion Week pics. She can take the cake on that one!

I do not know if she will eat it.

Consequently, I actually had a seizure in a restaurant of all places! My darling Mr. KF came to my rescue, making sure I did not hurt myself and dialing 911. I was unconcious and saying silly things…but apparently I knew that my rainboots were Burberry. That does not surprise me!

My body aches, and I slept awfully late today…until about 1:15ish. I suppose I needed the sleep. I am taking an old medicaation that has worked in the past but has given me headaches, along with another medication that makes me very sleepy. I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Anticonvulsants often have side-effects that one either has to decide to live wwith or move on to the next pill… My doctor even recommended a surgery, called a Vagus Nerve Stimulator. That is something else I must weigh and measure!

Verrrry interestingggg!! Check it out, tell me what you think!

In more cute, fun news, my adorable little twin cousins are coming to hang out at my house today!  I am off to prepare some fun arts and crafts for them to do!! AHH they have arrived NOW! xoxo

KF had a wonderful idea to take the train to Philadelphia to have lunch and visit a museum. I suggested the Mutter Museum.

We met up with Mr.AF, who works in Rittenhouse Square at Rouge, a wonderfully yummy place to eat! In Philadelphia Magazine, the Rouge Burger, with grueyere and sauteed onions is a hit! I had the French Onion soup and a petite quiche, which was to die for!!

After lunch, we headed up to The Mutter Museum to check out the wonderful collection of unusual human anatomy, which included a wall of skulls from all over the world. Underneath each skull is the name of the person to whom it belonged to, and what disease they perished from/how they were executed and what crime they had committed. There is also an impressive collection of  fetuses in glass bottles, dried out colons, and human skeletons with unusual deformities.

The Mutter is not for those with weak stomachs needless to say. If you are a fan of discovery health, like I am, then you will love what  The College of Physicians has done. It is a beautiful and stately Old Philadelphia building. The gift shop is also fab, I got a sweet new coffee mug that is in the shape of a human skull and a pen that is in the shape of a syringe. I love museum coffee mugs…

There was also an art installation insired by the Mutter. So cool! Gotta love the human anatomy/pathology!

At the end of our chilly-Philly trip, we got some fresh coffee at a great price at La Columbe (sp?). One size, great taste, low price($1.50), no nonsense! Put that in your mocha-latte-frappa-poo and smoke it Starbucks! (I DO still love a soy vanilla latte)

I managed to stay out of Barney’s Co-op, Anthro, and Leehe-Fai! I’m proud of myself. I knowww KF is too!

www.collphyphil.org  to check out the Mutter!!

In other news…I watched Rosemary’s Baby this morning, creeepy! I kinda liked it?!

Yeah. Lame that my digital cable introduces me to world issues/tugs at my heart-strings!

“Born Into Brothels”  is about children growing up in Calcutta’s Red Light District. These children are wise beyond their years and as real as it gets.

Again, please watch this documentary! Its under FREE MOVIES! No excuses!

I went to Dusk last night, the “hot new club” which, technically, isn’t really new anymore since it opened, errr early this summer. I just have not gotten around to going. I know! So Un-Linty of me!

I had this really cute dress to wear, the whole one-shoulder deal too! However, since I am possibly a celiac (I have put great research into this,it is not just a hypchondriac thing) and had eaten some pasta for dinner, I was too bloded for the damn dress. Spanx were not helping the situation either, so I resorted to black shiny/matte leggings, a ruffle neck Joie top, black blazer and my super fab, super high Belle by Sigerson Morrison over the knee boots.

A plus was that this outfit did not clash with my nailpolish (we hate that).

 I danced on a pole in a blazer? It was my friend’s brilliant idea, fun nevertheless. Woohoo, I’ve still got it. Unfortunately KF didn’t get to see me in action. Maybe thats a good thing…

Dusk  is a very hyped about place. It is the brainchild of the late DJ Adam “AM” Goldstein. I wish he was spinning instead of the other dudes…The music selection could have been better. That was the only complaint of my people.

A plus about Dusk is that it was less swamped with Jersey Shore-type Douche-Lords then perhaps Borgata’s mur.mur… Now all we need is DJ Sam Ronson at Dusk and I think it would be grrreat.

At least the company I was in made up for the music! <3

Mandela’s favorite poem:

Invictus

William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

    I had never read that poem before. I liked it very much. Judging from Nelson Mandela’s fav poem and how he was portrayed in the movie, 30 yrs as a political prisoner had not weakened his soul!

 I also loved Mandela’s idea of forgiveness and turning South Africa into a Rainbow Nation.  The idea of unity always gets me teary eyed.

Perhaps I am a flower-child reincarnated. The idea of Peace and Love never gets old with me…

Do something nice for someone today! It puts a smile on their face, love in their heart and will bring you inner peace :)
  I find inner peace and good deeds are contagious!

The world of unemployment is a cold, mean place. I am in love with fashion consumerism and I cannot partake if I have no job. Blah. Have you ever felt as if your best effort was put forth, and all you’ve gotten was the boot? I surely do. It seems as though there are no jobs at the moment for a Linty like me…Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.

In other news, I did go out with my darling and some buddies Saturday night. We had a blast People Watching. Saw a Snookie type complete with shoe-polish hair and a pouf. Too funny… Also saw an Eastern European dude have a temper-tantrum on the dance floor waving 40′s around shouting, “Shot Opppp jskdjkjd Shot OPP!!”

I almost wish I had a brooch or something with a hidden camera to capture these moments.

 Oh and I can’t forget the bachelorette parties of puffy girls stuffed into black cocktail dresses (wearing crooked eyeliner) carrying huge blow-up penises while trying to take pictures with guys dressed up like  versions of Adrien Grenier ala Entourage.  What a mess!

Atlantic City in the dead of winter on a Saturday night. Priceless. Great for a laugh.

And laugh you must…

What a thrill to have a birthday fall on Fashion Week!!!

Check out www.Gilt.com, for some seriously awesome finds, as well as www.Shopbop.com for spring look-books! If you are reading this blog and you are not a member of Gilt.com, which I highly recommend for designer savings( savings is an understatement) leave me your e-mail and I will personally invite you to sign up! I was looking at it last night and I saw some super cute Cynthia Rowley pieces! I used to intern for her, and she is definitly a hands-on designer!!

My dear friend is attending the Rachel Roy show today in New York City, and I will have to get the feedback from the show to post later!

New Face Wash Alert: I was at Ulta and I picked up  Yes To Tomatoes Cleanser (free of parabens and other yucky stuff) and I have been using it for my combination/oily prone skin. It cost me $9.99. So far it smells great, and my skin is looking good. However, it does make it feel a bit tight, so I definitly have to use a moisturizer right after I wash my face. You never want a break-out prone face to be too-dry, because pimples can happen that way. Also, as far as removing eye-make up, it does not get rid of mascara. No biggy though, I just used some make-up remover. For the price tag, I will take it, and recommend it!! You can also order/read reviews on www.drugstore.com.

*On a more somber note, let us remember designerLee Alexander McQueen this Fashion Week with an amazing performance by my favorite artist/NYC native/ Lady Gaga:http://www.popeater.com/2010/02/16/lady-gaga-2010-brit-awards

For all those dog-lovers who may want a break from the Olympics, the Westminster Dog Show is on tonight! So excited!

My Valentine’s Day was fantastic! Mr.KF is the best Linty-gift giver ever! He is a gift in himself. He gave me the most fabulous scent from Bond No.9, I could not believe how amazing the scent was and how it smelled like ME!! He also got me a MAC lipstick by Lady GaGa, the perfect pink, and my most favorite After Bath lotion by Epicurean in a delicious scent of Vanilla Bean (au natural)!  I think I lucked out, plus I’m having fun sporting my new Lady Gaga pout (she is my favorite)!

I got my KF a vintage looking t-shirt representing his Most Favorite Baseball Team, an UglyDoll-Ice-Bat (so silly), and a book called LOVE (how appropriate since it is our 3rd V-day).  J.Crew heart boxers and a huge yummy cookie topped it off!

We went to the restaurant where I first met his parents, and where we first looked up at the stars and thought:

 ”So this is Love.”

Oops my pants are on backwards…yeeep.

Thinking back to earlier this evening,I also tried to control the tv with my black berry,more than once.
