Workout death, My dream guy, and Varsity Fashion

Three different posts at the same damn time cuz im sleeeepeeehhh wooooooo!!!!

Like I stated previously, I am trying to get into better shape; my clothes are always slipping off of me and in a way I kind of feel sorry for myself when that happens, kind of like when you see a small child with clothes too big or a tall kids with pants too short for him, THAT kind of sorry. So I'm gonna bulk up by starting with my ass. My stomach is flat already so we'll leave that alone for a while, but the bottom needs to be 20 years old, not pre-pubescent boy bottom. I found this website called The Haute Bunny, where all these different workout tips are placed and posted.

 
 
The entire routine is quick, and it doesn't take long, so I decided to give it a try beforer work. Less than 10 minutes later I had to go outside in the 30 degree weather just too cool off. I did this workout twice today and I can really feel it in my buns. This better be good.
 
 
My dream guy
 
I'm not really the one for sappy romance stories. In high school, I told myself all the time that this moment, right here, right now, I might finally meet "the one" who sweeps me off my feet. That's not to say that I don't think love doesn't exist, it does..but growing up I never witnessed love: my parents hated each other so much that it was the norm and like 'meh' to me, loved ones either died, went crazy, lost it, divorced, etc, just something always happening.
 
To me the perfect guy wouldn't be good looks and an awesome body, it would be someone who makes me laugh and can put up with my sarcasm, weird sense of humor, and cray-cray mood swings. But then again, I want a GUY, when I hold his hand, I don't want it to feel like mine, I want it to feel manly, I don't want him to smell like roses, I want that guy smell, and most of all, I don't want him to be like "ok,  ok, ok, ok," to everything I say, I don't want a robot. But I am just a teeny bit shallow, I have to be able to look you in the face.
 
 
 
varsity fashion
 
I don't know if it was because of the recent issue of NYLON magazine or what, but I now have this strange facination with varsity fashion, like that vintage stuff that was worn in high schools and to the sock hops in good ol' retro America.
 
Betty Sue and Wally are going to the diner tonight to eat burgers, share milkshakes, and maybe, they'll hold hands!!
Sally Jean in the back thinks Wally is pretty keen, too. He IS pretty keen,  he has what we of the future call Swag. Look at him, flipped hair, hands in his jeans, Betty Sue, you better hold that hand tight!
 
I already have a letterman jacket that I boughtat forever 21 last summer, but it's too small and the pockets zip and its more like a small jacket instead of a protective jacket that I wanted. My dad has a jacket like that with the chicago bulls logo on the sleeves, but it's been years since I've seen that jacket. Oh well. But what I REALLY want is one of those sweaters with the 'unknown letter' as in, 'what does that stand for?'

Eyebrows.


(I've been so tired lately that this is the only thing I've been thinking about besides I'm so tired)
My entire life, I have been a victim of thick eyebrows. My eyebrows are genetically so thick that it's close to uni-brow status. When I was about 12 years old, I got my eyebrows shaped, and from then on I always cut them. One time when I was 16, I got a little carried away, and I cut them too thin. I figured that I can let my eyebrows grow out, then get them threaded, and just keep them up myself. For the record, I'm never getting my eyebrows threaded again. The lady who threaded my eyebrows ended up making me look furious, so I just shaped them.

My eyebrows have always given me a hard time, especially since eyebrows actually can drastically alter the look of someone's face. I had always been very insecure about my eyebrows and I always wondered why I had to have caterpillars above my eyes.

After growing my eyebrows out for about a month, I went to get my eyebrows waxed on thursday. The lady who did my waxing suggested that she just shape them so that they wouldn't be pencil thin and abnormal looking. I love the way she did them, and now it's easier for me to maintain them.

I've decided to leave my eyebrows thick. Why? because apparently thick eyebrows are a growing trend that I, unbeknownst to myself, have been following my entire life.




It's kinda like if someone was born with six fingers and all of a sudden having more than 5 fingers are in style. Makes me feel a hell of a lot less insecure!

Fashion Trends That I Don't Understand.

There are some fashion trends I love, some I hate, some that I'm just now embracing, and some that I don't understand. Well, theses are the ones I don't understand.

1. Maxi Skirts


A few years ago, I was a bridesmaid at my sisters' wedding. We had to wear these long black dresses and while everyone else looked normal, I looked longer and thinner than I really am, and people kept commenting on how tiny I was which pissed me off to oblivion.
I don't mind the hippy revival, in fact I was all into it at one point, but I am just not fond of long skirts- especially not on my tree-like figure. All I would have to do is wear a green maxi skirt, paint myself green, and get green liberty spikes and wham-o, I am now the statue of liberty.


2. Crop Tops



It's summertime in Georgia, and that means it's hot. So hot weather means summer clothing right? Not for everyone. I know that despite someone's body type they have to keep cool, but lets just say that not everything is flattering on everyone, there's just some parts of your body we don't want to see; in addition to being hot we don't want to be nauseous too.
I don't mind a crop top with a shirt on under it, but I wont be caught dead in a crop top, I just don't think it's appropriate to be wearing to wal-mart ffs. Every time I see a crop top I just picture those girls in the rap videos dancing next to a car parked by a pool or something like that, but I guess it's cute depending on how you wear it and how short it is. I guess IDK..

3. Neon Lipstick


Pink and purple and red is one thing, but green and yellow and all these other colors are just strange. I'm not sure I could pull this off because my lips are big enough, I don't want them to stand out any more, plus having blue lips brings back childhood memories of eating candy before school and walking around with blue lips for an hour. Like I said before, this is one of those trends that look good depending on how you wear it, mainly on BBC radio host Gemma Carney who is full of cool BTW.

4. Creepers


Legend has it that they were originally worn by WWII servicemen. When the servicemen would go to England, the English people caught onto the who idea or them or something like that. This trend is actually growing on me, I actually think it's pretty cute when worn the right way, but for me it would be really out of character to wear them. Whenever I see them, I think Tim Burton movie for some reason, they're just so silly and Willy Wonka-like. I haven't embraced them quite well, and I most likely wont be getting a pair any time soon, but they sure do beat those other shoes they used to sell at hot topic.

5. Feather Accessories


Feather earrings, necklaces, hair extentions, etc are a part of a collection I like to call "Native American Remorse Tribute". I think that people are so guilty of the treatment of Native Americans that they decide to use all of their trends and re-surface them, along with UGG boots and fringe stuff. I used to like this stuff when I lived in Arizona and it was everywhere, but now it's kind of played out, especially since Ke$ha got her hands on it.

6. Lace Clothing
 
 
I have no choice to embrace this trend since it's EVERYWHERE, but what's the deal? Madonna isn't wearing it, this isn't the Victorian era, why all the lace? Are we goth?



I'm pretty sure that there are more trends out there that are crossing over from "dislike" to "don't understand", but these are them for now. I'm scared to see what the future holds, and it looks like it's holding translucent nails.
