Saturday I finally took the plunge and got my new short, hip haircut! I could not be happier – I feel so light and fresh and modern. I went to the Aveda Institute in Ft. Lauderdale and got my hair cut by my amazing friend, Alana. She’s been busting her butt to learn and perfect the art of hair and I am so pleased with what she did. I was a little nervous about the chunky highlights, but she was so confident that they would look great that those worries quickly dissipated. I feel like a new me and can’t wait to start the summer as a blonde! I’ll let you know if what they say is true and I do have more fun, although with the summer I have lined up already, I doubt I would have anything but!


Sunday night we had our first official party at the house for the season 3 premiere of True Blood! I don’t need to reiterate what a big fan I am of this show, so just suffice it to say that I was excited (& a little nervous about having people over for the first time in our new house). It was such a success! We made it a potluck since we are fridge-less until the 22nd and wow, did people make some yummy treats! Plus, we got some fun party favors and props that really made the night a lot of fun.
My personal favorite was my jug of Fang Banger – an alcoholic concoction of True Blood beverage, Sprite and Vodka. Thankfully, I woke up this morning hangover free, but I did have my fair share of these throughout the night (& I was not the only one).
I also thought the season opener was great and really held our attention (was it all the nice butt shots?) – I am both bummed and pleased that they seem to not be following the books at all, but we have yet to see what they have in store for us the rest of the season. I totally need to get used to those typical True Blood weekly cliffhangers again – how killer was last night’s??

Have a great week everyone!

1. True Blood Season 3
It’s finally here! The wait is over, Truebies – HBO’s hit show (& seemingly everyone’s obsession), True Blood, will begin its highly anticipated 3rd season on Sunday night at 9pm. HBO has teased us for months now with these mini posters (pictured above is the last of the series), character minisodes and plenty of shorts to wet our appetite. I’ve read up until book 5 in the Sookie Stackhouse series, which is what the series is based off of, and if they follow book 3’s storyline (but will probably deviate from), we are going to have a lot to look forward to! What am I most excited for? The introduction of Alcide, the hottie werewolf! Rawr.
I’ll be holding a little viewing party at my place complete with a themed potluck, fangbanger cocktails and fangs galore! VILFS welcome

A short, hip haircut!
I really tried this time to let my hair grow after so many people requested. I did. And it happened. My hair is currently extremely long. And extremely thick. And it is currently extremely hot & humid down here in South Florida, so in turn, my hair is extremely hard to deal with and spends its life in a disheveled ponytail. Can someone please tell me what is the point of having long hair if it is always tucked away and such a ginormous pain in the behind? I don’t know how you Miami girls do it. This crap is not for me, so I am doing what I have wanted to do for months now and getting my hair cut! However, apparently I am like Samson and need my hair for strength because I got so many disdainful looks by friends and family when I announced my decision, which got me thinking…Why do people believe women have to have long hair?
Does it represent our femininity? Youth?
What is it? Share your opinions with me in the comments.
And yes, my haircut inspiration is coming from the lovely Christina Ricci and her sweet short ‘do pictured above.
I can’t wait to be free!

I don’t do blondes, but I wouldn’t mind spending some time with the newest Captain Kirk, Chris Pine. He found himself catapulted into the lime light with the huge sci-fi role last year and it’s pretty safe to say that his life will probably never be the same. Although you may remember him from The Princess Diaries: Royal Engagement if you love Anne Hathaway as much as I do (heh). Mr. Pine also started quite the fangirl revolution with his obvious chemistry with hottie Vulcan, Zachary Quinto. Bring on the fandoms and the photo manipulations! One in particular, really got a lot of Internet air time: the Pinto. Some amazingly awesome person decided it would be a fabulous idea to morph both Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto’s facial features to create quite possibly the most glorious male specimen ever known. Curious? Click below to enjoy the picspam along with the infamous photomanip!
