Dear Readers,

It's the weekend again, and you know what that means...

Time for me to travel by car, train, Bieber bus, subway, and my dad's Volkswagen van all over the Tri-State area.

This weekend's trip covers the following:

Philly, Brklyn / Mnhttn, Japanese consulate, anddd even a little stop in Delaware to visit my dad.

It's gonna be nuts! Unfortunately for you, I have no idea when I'm going to return and this week sucked as far as me updating soooo I had to do this, but I'm gonna have to give you silly scheduled posting for awhile.

A Terrorist Fist Jab?

Hello.

This is an automated post updated while I am on vacation.

This is old news.

But it combines many things No Nasties loves:

YouTube, Inflections, Fox News looking Silly, and Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy Obama.

Enjoy



In her defense, she did apologize for her statement saying she had NO intention of implying that she thought that Obama's fist jab WAS a terrorist jab and that she was not trying to associate the word terrorism with Obama.

It's up to you to decide.

See you soon!

The Great Pantyhose Peril 2008

"Hasselbeck with Child wearing a burka on a bed of pantyhose (requiem)"

I've been getting a couple of hits from people searching for the Pantyhose Controversy that took over the View recently.

Basically this is what happened:

Lizzie and co. were talking about some job required that the women wear pantyhose and everyone 'round the table thought that was absurd. Mostly Sherri and Elisabeth felt that the hose were old fashioned.

Fast-forward to the next day / maybe a few days later I donno ( I don't actually watch it EVURRYDAY ) when Babs comes back to announce that she loves and wears the p-hose todos los dias.

THE END.

Also, my mom says she feels naked if she doesn't wear them to work.

Nanners agrees.

I agree that I need to post less about my mom / nana / the View and more about my WEEKENDZ.

And speaking of weekends, I am heading out again on vacation this weekend soo you will have to deal with automated posting courtesy of Blogger's "scheduled" posting.

Lucky YOU.

Denim Vests and Night Sweats

This title of the blog has nothing to do with my weekend apart from the fact that I may have seen someone wearing a denim vest last night and it was super hot outside yesterday and today so yeh.

I'll be making interesting posts soon enough.

This Doesn't Count

Going on another mini-vacation / overnight trip today!

Enjoy this photo of my nana dancing with her BFF in the 50's or something.

Bye.

Oh p.s.

Speaking of my nana, I saw this chair on Pottery Barn's website and the print is EXACTLY like the lawn furniture she had from the late sixties / early seventies / Brady Bunch house.

I want it!

May April March

Do you like the clever title?

It prolly went over your head.

No biggie.

I just want April (the month) to march (aka continue quickly and rapidly) so May (the month) will begin and school will end.

I apologize for all of my lack of updates and that drawing from earlier.

Future posts will include many things that have been going on in my life and things that have yet to come:

-- Starbucks is revamping evurrything
-- Steve Aoki came to the Barbary and people mainly stayed against the bar
-- Cory Kennedy was nowhere to be found
-- New haircut (love the heat, but not the humidity, dig?)
-- End of classes
-- Eagerly waiting for my JAPplication results
-- Hannah and I's adventures in Summer Sublet Hunting
-- Cut-offs
-- Pastels
-- Sweaty times
-- Turning 20
-- NYC trip Saturday

ETC. ETC.

Come back soon.

Unlike your parents' divorce / last relationship / chemotherapy / band's EP, things will get better.

New York and Company

So this is old news BUT it is still important that I share.

Last Tuesday, Jenny G and I went to NYC to spend lots of money and catch up on old times.

A highlight of where we went:

Pret-A-Manger

After sitting on the bus for two hours, we were naturally famished. A few blocks from Port Authority, a Pret-A-Manger awaited us. When I was England I tried eating at these every chance. When I came back home, I was very happy to find that these little sandwich places were ALL up in New York. Jen got a HUGE caesar salad and said it was the best salad she has ever had. My sandwich had avocado, crazy cheese, and pine nuts. It was top notch. Bonus Trivia: The origin of my lifestyle choice of 'no nasties' derived from a delicious soda that the store sells. Most of these stores have gigantic lunch rushes (especially the one in Rockefeller Center) so avoid it from 11:30-1:00 but also do not wait too late because a lot of them are only open for lunch! Choose wisely.

H&M

Our next stop was the well-known store H&M. I do not have much to say about it since you're all probably familiar. Everything is cheap cheap cheap and while they have piles of clothes, I usually never find anything I really like. Jen bought a boy's t-shirt there because I didn't!

Urban Outfitters

Next of course, was UO. Jen went nuts buying all sorts of things. I tried on acid wash jeans and was not impressed. The girl at the cash register could not figure out this transaction so I helped her by doing the math AND singing Hakuna Matata to her. I do not know which one worked best. Also, these two stores tend to rip off designers frequently, with H&M copying hits right off the runway and UO usually stealing from 'indie designers'.

Two Ultra-Expensive Boutiques

While in SoHo, we decided to check out two stores that I looked up before we went. Both were really expensive. The one even featured a whole little upstairs dedicated to Kate Moss' line. We were followed everywhere. Customers usually came in, went to a sales associate and told them what they were looking for. The associate then tried to help their "client" find it. It was a far cry from H&M. The second store was smaller but carried all sorts of crazy designers. I wanted to buy a cardigan by a particular one (mainly for the name as opposed to how nice it looked) but I was so shocked by the $350 price tag, I dropped it to the ground. Oops! Fashion faux pas of a different kind I suppose. **Bonus Trivia**: Henry Holland t-shirts are printed on American apparel tees. I thought that was interesting.

Paul Frank

No stop downtown is complete without a stop to the Paul Frank store! The store is always clean and the cashiers are always some sort of charming foreigner. Usually I'll buy a t-shirt or something and that's about it. A certain azn loves the store intensely. Not too much to say except that a girl could not decide what to buy for her new friend who is "transitioning" genders (girl to guy). Sadly, I had no 'no nasties' advice to give her on that subject.

Pinkberry

You've probably heard the hype about this store on the television (or the radio!). Pinkberry was zany! All the tables were filled with asians (I'm pretty sure we were in Little Korea). The actually frozen yogurt was amazing. I got mine with diced mango on top! Delicious. We popped into Starbucks to eat it, but I won't talk about it since everyone is familiar with it.

Forever 21

Jen didn't see much here, but I went nuts! There were piles of clothes at the end of the night right before closing, but I dug through them all to find the nicest flannels this side of a lesbian's trailer park.

Marc Jacobs

While it wasn't the ender to our trip, I thought it would be a good ender for this trip story. We went to every single one that was open and managed to spend a great deal of our money there (rumor has it that Jen squeaked by with only $1 left). The whole place almost needs a post for itself. It was so crowded and lots of people just grabbing everything and anything. Even the cashiers wanted to buy everything in the store.

So that's that.

Tomorrow I have to wake up early and go grocery shopping for Christmas Eve dinner and for Christmas Morning brunch.

Stay tuned for posts on that AND wrapping.
