Before jumping into my Friday Five, I want to wish all of you a safe & fun Fourth of July weekend! And while you are grilling those scrumptious burgers and laying by the pool, please think of me and have a frozen drink or two in my honor!
1. RockBand Party
Tonight we are hosting a RockBand party at our pad. We are encouraging guests to dress in their best rock duds and bring their shredding skills as they live out their rockstar fantasies as only modern technology can provide. Although I am not going all out like I did for my 27th Rockstar Birthday Extravaganza, it should be fun to dress up, take some crazy ringlight photos and jam with our best friends. I will be sure to post all the pictures come Monday morning, promise.

Are we fuck-up’s?
That is the question that John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph’s characters ask themselves in the film, Away We Go, as they realize that they are expecting their first child, are in their mid-30’s, not married & still searching for a place to call home. I couldn’t be happier that my friend Roxy and I were able to catch this limited release flick after missing out on the advanced screening of 500 Days of Summer Tuesday night. I completely adored this endearing movie in so many ways.
The movie revolves around the couple as they try to find “the right place” to raise their child and begin this new chapter in their lives. They visit several friends and family members along the way and learn valuable lessons about themselves as a couple, how they want to raise their children and sometimes how unfair life can be. All the characters were amazing and so very real (even Maggie Gyllenhaal’s crazy hippie persona). And I especially liked how (for once) Hollywood portrayed a couple that was truly in love and ready to battle whatever life sent their way as long as they were together (wedding ring or not).
I was really able to relate and I think other couples will too. It is both a hysterically funny and thought-provoking movie. I can’t recommend it enough. I laughed & cried until tears rolled down my face. I definitely suggest making this one a date movie as you will want to snuggle into your significant other several times throughout and it will surely give way to a lot of lovey-dovey conversations afterwards.
I will leave you with perhaps the best line from a movie I have heard in some time:
“I promise to love you even if I can’t find your vagina.”
Check out showtimes & the official trailer.

I’ve seen James Mcavoy in several movies, but it wasn’t until I saw him in Wanted that I realized he was pretty steamy. I give credit to the shower scene that can be found under the cut (heh). Although not someone you would group under the hottest men in Hollywood, there is just something about him (oh, and that Scottish accent of his definitely doesn’t hurt). What can I say? I tend to like the underdog. Tell me if you feel the same after checking out the following pictures, ladies

I’m trying my best not to spend any more money than needed leading up to my trip to San Diego for Comic-Con, but of course, something came up. Doesn’t something always come up? It just seems that way - when you are trying to save - BOOM! - speeding ticket, accident or in my case, car repairs. My car decided to have severe brake failure 3 weeks before my trip and although I am still trying to get a good estimate, it looks like I’ll have to drop $500+ on my car sometime this week.
And then I saw these:
Striped Colorblock Tank Dress
$24.80
Chunky heel pointed toe bootie
$22.70
Gladiator Heels
$19.99 on sale
Wouldn’t that dress really round out the rest of my wonderful birthday girl outfits for San Diego? I really think so! And those shoes are to die for. I’ve been searching for some hot gladiator style heels or booties and these two pairs really satisfy the urge! Will I cave in? Most likely.
For more of these inexpensive fashions, check out Go Jane!
Edit:
Since I wrote up this post and got everyone’s comments “peer pressuring” me (yeah right) to cave in & purchase what I wanted, I have. Heh. What can I say? I’m weak when it comes to clothes shopping. I can never have enough cute outfits! I wasn’t able to secure the dress in green (huge bummer), but I got it in red along with the black booties (I don’t wear a lot of brown so I couldn’t justify the heels) & I threw in another dress just for good measure. I told you I’m weak.

Oof. I’m so sorry guys. I have turned into the worst blogger ever! Things have been busy and life has been getting in the way yet again so the blog has been on the back-burner so to speak. Lovable Friday completely escaped my memory and now I don’t have much of a Weekend wrap-up for you guys either. The good news is that our weekend didn’t consist of much, since we pretty much stayed at home, so there is not much to write about this time around!
What I did want to do was mention the passing of the King of Pop. I know there is much controversy as to what he did behind closed doors and why we are now celebrating a man that may have molested little boys, but the way I see it, death should always be mourned and you cannot deny the contribution to music that this man gave the world throughout the years. I also dare any of you to state that you never sang along or even choreographed a dance or two to one of his songs when you were a kid. I know I, for one, grew up listening to Thriller (because of my older sister) and was pretty much mesmerized by all his music videos. There is one thing that is for sure: the man was a legend, an icon, most probably the biggest celebrity and one of the best entertainers in the world (OK, that is more than one) and whatever crazy ass shit he did in his personal life had no bearing on any of those things. So, rest in peace, Michael. Your music will live in our hearts forever.
As seen at Ra Happy Hour in South Miami.
Also, RIP Farah Fawcett, Ed McMahon & now Billy Mays. What is going on with the universe? People need to stop dying, ok? My little heart doesn’t like it one bit.
