Hey I Resemble That Remark!

Oscars....It Does a Diva Good!!

It was Oscar night last night, which is one of my favorite shows.  I love the fashions, the slip ups, and, most of all, who wins the awards!  Last night was no different.  With the exception of his humorous movie at the beginning of the show, Billy Crystal's jokes fell flat. The fashion as always was fabulous, including the faux pas J. Lo made.....it's hard to see here, but I think you could see her nipples coming out of her dress.  Yikes!  Where's a stylist when you need one??!!  I was proud of myself this year as I did not shed one tear during the In Memoriam section.....Elizabeth Taylor, Farley Granger, Jane Russell....I mean, this normally tears me up!

Another Oscars over; however, I'm looking forward to tonight's episode of Fashion Police on Style, where they will recap the fashion. 

Uh oh....watch out J. Lo!!

Of All Stars and Allergies

As always, my weekend was much too short!  Friday found me traveling to Gresham to spend time with my new guy, where I was introduced to the basketball games of the All Stars.  We watched the dunking, the free throws, and the other antics of basketball players while we ate Chinese food.  Saturday found us cruising around Portland so he could show me where he grew up and attended school, then climaxed with dinner at Olive Garden. 

The weekend would have been perfect had I not decided to be a little adventurous.  After arriving home on Sunday, I drove Sam's friend Victor to his house to pick up a few things.  As I sat in the car, waiting, Sam's buddy Garrett came out to share a bag of Mexican staples - chicarrones.  Interesting and kind of tasty, I ended up eating two or three.  Uh oh, big problem.

Beware the Chicarrone!!

Apparently I'm allergic to the Mexican chicarrones.  Within minutes my neck began itching and turning red with hives;  my bottom lip then began itching and swelling, like a Real Housewives lip enlargement gone wrong.  I was scratching my sweaty, red neck as I continued to form words through my new puffer fish persona.  Not good.

Of course we had to stop at the store on the way home so I was forced to browse the grocery aisles all the while looking as if I had an an advanced case of sunburned psoriasis.  Jordan went with me; I kept my eyes on the floor as I didn't want to run into someone I knew.  I hadn't taken a shower, my hair was up, no makeup, and my body was glowing with a red aura of itchy allergy - it was not a good day to run into a high school classmate!!!

Once I made it home, I popped two Benydryl to get the hiving under control.  I promptly changed clothes into a cotton tee shirt and shorts to get comfy while awaiting the itchy to depart.  It only took three or four hours for the allergic reaction to be gone but I did learn one lesson - never touch a Mexican chicarrone again!! 

Finally It's Friday!!!

Have a wonderful weekend Divas!!!!

I wish!

Rockin the Shaved Head

Here's my "third son" Victor along with Sam and Jordan striking a pose last night.  Victor is the resident hair shaver; Jordan finally took the plunge and let Victor shave his head last night.  Aren't they handsome (and a little goofy)?!!

Victor, Sam and Jordy

Big Kiss Shoes

Aren't these cute??  I want them!  The only problem....they are only in little girl's sizes!!  Damn!!

Shoes of the Week

These shoes of the week come courtesy of Diva Christina from work - aren't they to die for?!!!  She's also working a tiger-striped pedicure, which will be my painting of choice the next time my toes are done!
