Cool Finds, Music, The Film Biz, Things I love

This commercial has been playing for a couple of months and I have to say that I still love it as much as I did when I saw it the first time.  A, she’s beautiful and perhaps the only woman I’ve ever seen who can pull off frosted green eyeshadow. B, I love the message, “goofy is sexy” (for obvious reasons). And C, the song makes me clinch my fists and roll my shoulders to the beat a la Big Willie Style…that’s Will Smith for those of you who didn’t spend the 90’s gettin’ jiggy with it.

Enjoy!

Cool Finds, Great Ladies, The Film Biz, Things I love

How fabulous is the face slap?! I’m one of those Sophia Loren types who wants women to still be able to slap rude men across the face. Did I type that out loud? Ooops!  I absolutely love the guy’s shocked expression after she whacks the living daylights out of him for giving a double take on her long and lean tires… as if she was the most beautiful calculator he’d ever seen.

But seriously, who can blame him? Even I’m willing to admit that I can’t take my eyes off of this woman. Seeing her and the way she’s dressed has done more for my fitness resolutions then all of Rodney Yee’s Yoga tapes combined! And doesn’t it make so much more sense to have a High Fashion Italian Vixen in a Fiat commercial then JLo?

In all seriousness, from the casting to the script to the wardrobe to the look and feel of the entire spot, this is possibly an all time favorite for me!

Speaking of Italian Vixens, here’s a little O-mage (Homage) to the most beautiful woman on earth!

Chris is rolling his eyes, Cool Finds, Friends, gifts, Random photos, That's so Boulder, Things I love

Thought I’d share a few snipits from this past week along with my quest to find a Valentine for Chris. Yes I know it’s a week after the fact, but Chris has been out of town since before Valentine’s Day so I’m good on time.

Feb 13, 2012 – An honest attempt at buying a Valentine before the actual day

Ten20 Nail Salon in Boulder Co

Ten20 offers unlimited M&Ms and shows non-stop re-runs of "Friends"... it truly is the answer to almost all of my girly needs.

Lindsey and Alyssa, The Catering By Design ladies treated us, The Calluna Ladies, to lunch and then pedis at Ten20, the absolute best nail salon in Colorado!!! Our date lasted from noon until 5…I’m sure (like me) you’re wondering “How does she fit it all in?”

Anita at Ten20 is pissed

So I tried to take a photo of Anita's pissed expression while she was working on my heels but the flash went off and she gave me the evil eye for taking a photo (as seen above). I feigned ABSOLUTE SHOCK (!) about accidentally hitting the wrong button and taking a photo but she read right through me. Heather (Owner of Calluna Events) is in the background.

Tu-Ha is my absolute favorite at Ten20 and I always request her but unfortunately she wasn’t avail and because this was a gift from the Catering By Design girls for all of our wedding collaborations I ended up with Angry Anita… who was especially angry after I took this photo. Usually I can find something “bathy” for Chris at Ten20 but no luck, all of their gifts were pretty girly this time around.

Cool Finds, gifts, Things I love

Brass Acorn LocketHow cute is this necklace from bellabeadstudio? And how special would I feel each time Chris wrote a little note telling me how much he loves it when I leave the house without washing my face or brushing my hair…or taking off my pjs? Very special!

Christmas 2011 = Not too shabby!

Corral Lizzard Western BootsAt first I wasn’t going to post this but after wearing them 80 + hours over the last 5 days I feel like everyone in B-town has seen them and I have this insane need (vanity) to keep showing them off!

I don’t know how he did it, especially considering I’ve tried on every style, make and model of boot from Atlanta to Oregon via Texas, New Mexico and California in the past 5 years and have not been able to find a single pair that didn’t have some sort of “meh” about them…price stopped being an issue about 3 years ago when I started sacrificing my jeans budget for a healthier boot budget… but somehow he found the perfect fit, cut, length, color, style, distress, shape, heel, comfort, sexy yet casual, ornamental yet functional, no floral inlay, no crystals, no crosses, hand stitched, lizard (inside and out), Hecho En Mexico with an extra je ne sais quoi that magically makes my lips curl into a sly grin, amazing boots and I love him for it!

All compliments, oohhs and aahhs can be left in the comments section at the bottom of this post… or emailed, FB’d to friends, tweeted and shouted from the rooftops near enough for me to hear.

Thought that just entered my mind – does his motive for gifting me fashion boots have something to do with my 5 year old garden / special occasion jeans? Are these actually just a hint for me to finally purchase something that doesn’t involve pockets over my kidneys? Hmmmm.
