Weekend Highlights

friday14297193.0

I am not a homebody. I love to be out doing cool stuff with cool people. I, however, do not like spending vast amounts of money when doing so. This is why I was super happy when I found out that there was going to be a tweet up at Miami Beach’s 8 oz. Burger Bar with an open bar, free appetizers and a Rock Band competition. How fun is that? I can vouch it was tons. The place was slammed, but the bartenders were really great about handing out the free drinks and the appetizers were being passed around like hot cakes. Plus, it helps that I was with great company. I hope they do more of these – totally loved the idea and the freebies! We finished the night at a friends’ house where we caught up with each other, drank and had a delicious dinner. Perfect start to the weekend!

Lovable Friday!

lovablefriday1I don’t know about the rest of you, but I really needed this Friday more so than I have in a long time! I am welcoming today with open arms!

1. Lela Rose Wedding Gown

Oddly enough, I received The Knot’s Florida Edition magazine last night. I haven’t been a bride for over 2 years so seeing it in my mailbox came as a shock. Also pretty telling as I’ve been struggling internally with my future career options (quarter life crisis?). While looking through the magazine, this gown by wonderful designer Lela Rose caught my eye. How adorable is it? Unfortunately for you brides to be, it has one hell of a price tag, but it’s definitely nice to look at!

With love, from me to you.

I never would have thought that I would be the one putting together our Valentine’s Day dinner, but lately I’ve learned to expect the unexpected! The hubs and I are pretty mellow people when it comes to Valentine’s Day. If you all remember, last year we spent the day at IKEA shopping and eating ice cream followed by a photoshoot. This year, we are planning on having a little picnic at a nearby park and then following it up that night with a romantic dinner for two at home.

Happy Hump Day: Chris Evans

Chris_Evans

I have to admit, I don’t know much about this guy except that his body is downright ridiculous. The hubs made me sit through the Fantastic Four (he has something I like to refer to as “Alba-vision”) and even though the movie was about as terrible as watching paint dry, I could not complain after laying my eyes on Chris Evans. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that feels this way especially after searching for photos for this post. I noticed a certain trend with all the photos found: topless.  So these will definitely be in the true spirit of hump day. 😉

I would do anything for love…

But I won’t do that.

I still refuse to believe that this is true, but I guess there is no denying after Ms. Simpson tweeted this lovely picture last week. I just do not understand it. And I don’t think I want to. Being a huge Pumpkins fan (not to mention Corgan fan), I just felt the need to address how horrified I am by this whole situation here on Melificent. I stumbled upon a blog the other day that put it better than anyone ever could: “He is a musical genius, she is a musical retard.” What could they see in each other? What do they have in common? This has totally slapped me in the face.

I attempted a break up with Mr. Corgan, but I don’t really know if I can. I honestly don’t think it’s possible. I have a freaking tattoo on my flesh, people. So all I can hope is that this pairing will not affect his music or writing. So far, the two tracks off the epic Teargarden by Kaleidyscope have been great so I’m crossing my fingers that this track record will continue. I’m also trying to ignore the whispers that they are recording a song together. I think our split may have to be permanent if that ever hits airwaves. I chose to ignore the whole Tila Tequila thing, but this is really pushing my buttons.

It also makes me sad that he may believe he needs something like this whole Jessica fiasco just to attract attention to his new music. Music should speak for itself, and his always has (at least to my ears), so using a cheap publicity scheme just seems so below Billy and the Pumpkins. I’m hoping some witch cast a spell on him, causing him to forget everything about himself, because honestly that would be the only excuse I would accept at this point.

Snap out of it, Billy!
