Lovable Friday!

Today there is only one Lovable Friday item and that is because something absolutely magical happened yesterday afternoon. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you are in the know, but for the remaining 2 people who do not, here’s the deal:

Bush is getting back together. Remember I posted about it here? Well, Epicenter Fest, the music festival hosting their first performance together since 2002, has been randomly giving away passes to the show (regular and VIP) through their own Twitter and Facebook accounts. I’ve obviously been entering, hoping to win so I can actually afford to go.

And yesterday afternoon…I won.
I flipping won.

I’m going to see Bush LIVE (in SoCal no less). I am in complete and utter shock. And since it was a pair of tickets, I invited one of my closest friends and Bush partner in crime since 1999, Bonnie. We are absolutely thrilled for the trip – I’ve always wanted to travel to see a band with girlfriends and here I am! I say girlfriends because not only am I going to share this experience with Bonnie, but also with about 19 other hardcore Bush/Gavin Rossdale fans that I have become friends with over the past year on Twitter and Facebook. We refer to ourselves as GRoupies (cute, right?) and are making the trek from all over the U.S. for this show.

All in all, it’s going to be one hell of good time.
Can life get any better? I don’t think so.
I love my life.

Thank you God, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Allah, Confusion, Buddha, Scientology, Aliens and the lion from Narnia!

1. True Blood Season 3
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 😉

1. Tim Burton's Installment at the MoMA
1. Tim Burton's Installment at the MoMA

Is it now considered cliche to love Tim Burton? How Hot Topic of me. I am, as always, envious of all New York City residents because now they can see this exhibit at the MoMA until April of 2010. The exhibit includes props from his movies, sketches and amazing designs from one of the most creative minds in Hollywood (in my opinion anyways). I’ve begged the hubs to take me on a weekend trip to NYC just so I can hit up this event. Anyone that has gone or is going, please feel me in so I can live vicariously through you!

Weekend Highlights

Saturday we all got together to celebrate one of our bestest friends birthdays. We met James about a year ago and can’t believe what quick friends we’ve become. We had a night full of flip cup competitions, rock band and general madness. We even had a breathalyzer in tow just for fun and I’m very happy to report that I was under the legal limit the entire night. Melificent was on her best behavior…too bad I could not say the same for Sunday. 😉

Sunday afternoon I picked up Rosy, who you may know from her amazing blog, Accidental Sexiness, for our next adventure. We hadn’t seen each other since our romp with the Heroes boys back in May and it was definitely high time for another one. Everyone knows my love for Mr. Rossdale and we were lucky enough to have him visiting the South Florida area for the Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic this weekend! Perfect set-up for us crazy Miami girls. Thanks to our assertiveness and well…obsessiveness (let’s not lie), we were able to watch Gavin practice from mere feet away. It was pretty amazing, I can’t lie. What was even more amazing was getting to chat briefly with him once he was done. He’s such a sweetheart. And gorgeous. And extremely talented when it comes to tennis – I always knew it was a hobby of his, but I never imagined that he would be as good as he was! He kicked major butt along with Lindsay Davenport in a doubles match against Jon Lovitz and Martina Navratilova, which Rosy and I were able to watch from excellent spots in the stands. On our way out, we were again able to coerce him to take a picture with us both before we had to force ourselves to leave Gavin and the event for the day.

Until the next Rosy&Meli adventure, make sure to check out Gavin on Criminal Minds this coming Wednesday, November 11th, at 9pm on CBS! Have a great week everyone!

Our love is so rock steady

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Wedding

I’d like to wish my most favoritest couple ever a very very happy wedding anniversary and I hope they have many many more to come. They are one of the only Hollywood couples that know how to do it right and it’s a breath of fresh air. I just hope Ms. Stefani finally realizes that it’s OK to loan him out every now and then as I’ve been waiting for my turn for quite some time. 😉

Also, some brief thoughts on last night’s VMA’s:

– Kanye West is the biggest douche on this planet.
– I have come to the conclusion that I do not understand Lady Gaga.
– Muse being introduced as “the band that influenced Twilight” put a stake through my heart. Repeatedly.
– I am pretty far removed from what is considered “popular music.”
– I’m totally OK with that.

ps; No worries! The weekend wrap-up will be up tomorrow – I have to play a little catch up!
