Marc by Marc Stroller

To say I’m obsessed with Marc Jacobs, would be an understatement. This has been going on for a good 7 or 8 years. I used to stare longingly at his clothes and wish they were all mine, but over the years I have acquired quite a measurable collection of his garments, bags, shoes, and various chotchkies. He has such a quirky way with detail and chooses such whimsical fabrics. I just love it all.

And then I saw this:

A special edition Bugaboo stroller tattooed in exclusive Marc by Marc Jacobs fabric!! My jaw hit the floor when I saw the image on my computer screen, and I started thinking up ways to justify the purchase…
It’s only 1,500 dollars. I just won’t eat, drive, or leave the house for 67 days.
But then I read more about the stroller, and found out that they only made 15. And they were all sold. RATS!

Well, since I’m not in the market for a new stroller, I took the devastating news in stride, and the bright side is, I can eat!

Here are some other “designer strollers” on the market, that don’t come with all the exclusivity and hype of the Marc Jacbos stroller.

Juicy Couture:

Kate Spade:

…and Burberry:

I won’t be mad at you for thinking that I’m a totally ridiculous nut-job of a girl for even considering a $1,500 designer stroller, because inside somewhere, I’m mad at myself too…

Kelly Wearstler is my style icon.

Who else can rock crimped hair with a baret, blue Marni tights with green Louboutin heels, and still look hot as shit?

Seriously? Seriously.

This skit from SNL had me doubled over in pain from laughing so hard:

You Didn’t Know? I’m a Model.

My friend Rhea found this photo on Nordstrom’s website, and it looks just like me, except for the geogous hair, the high cheekbones, and that curly haired baby.

Thanks Rhea, for boosting my self-esteem.

As many of you know California and some other states just passed a law on July 1st requiring us to wear a hands free device while we drive and talk on the phone.

It’s a air freshener that you spray into the toilet before you take a dump, to prevent the whole bathroom from smelling like your poop.

SHUT UP!

I can’t decide if I think this is cool or completely neurotic.

We are all so excited that the Pope is in America. Here are some pointers to remember when you meet him, brought to you by this guy:
Popetiquette: The Pontiff will always attempt to eat his soup course with a scepter until he is gently corrected by the host’s wife.

Popetiquette: The Pontiff will always offer the last scone to the least attractive person at his table; and you’re not allowed to cry.

Popetiquette: While dining with the Pontiff, if you stump him on New Testament trivia, he has to give you a piggyback ride around the table.

Popetiquette: If you find the Pontiff’s pot of gold, he has to grant you one wish.

Pat found this save the date card today. It’s adorable, our congratulations to the happy couple:

Humm, something about their card looks vaugely familiar:

Oh, yeah, that’s because it looks EXACTLY like ours! That’s cute.
