Happy Birthday to Me!

Well today is an Epic Day!  Why you ask??  Because it is my Birthday!

Now I am lucky, very lucky. Why?? Well because on my birthday today I have already received the best gift ever. And it was free. It is Love. Love from my family and friends that was sent my way today. Love from my beautiful Nieces Arianne and Anneka and my Nephews’ Ryan and the newest addition. My other little Nephew Lucas who just came into this world on Monday. What better gift can you get then hearing the phone ring and their little voices singing happy birthday into it. Trust me it is the best feeling


Now If by some magical chance a genie came up to me and told me that I could have ANYTHING for my birthday and that aside from my wonderful family and friends they wanted to grant me something well and I HAD to choose it would be simple to meet this man:

I know, I know it is a dream right but today it is a extra special dream because it is my Birthday. Shemar Moore the decadent Treat that is the perfect man. Sweet, caring, follows his fans on Twitter, is super talented and gorgeous to boot. I have never really had a dream come true. Most of my birthday's have pretty much been disasters like all of the milestone ones like my Grandpa died of cancer in January of the year of my 16th birthday, my 18th birthday somehow got missed, my 21st birthday invites were sent out but no one came, So it has been pretty harsh. Maybe Ellen will read this on Twitter I know she has like a billion followers but she COULD read it?? And if Shemar is ever on her show I could possibly meet him?? I think Ellen would be my genie. She is awesome like that. She surprises people and makes them so happy. That is just awesome she truly is the birthday dream come true person. Hey even seats if he was on her show would be beyond amazing because I am a super huge fan of Ellen too so it would be like the ultimate. I haven’t had a huge dream come true like others I have seen on her show. I don’t know what it feels like but judging from the tears of Joy, and the jaw droppings I can imagine that it feels pretty awesome. Hey I can try right chances of actually getting to meet him probably like winning the lottery but as long as you wish you have that hope of it coming true right?? If it did it would be the best 36th birthday ever. But she gets letters everyday and I know there are people far more deserving of wishes coming true, I just would love this so I know that if you wish hard enough your dreams can come true and I know it is a superficial thing wanting to meet an Actor but you have no idea what a huge deal it is to me. I would get to experience the feeling of pure happiness and enjoyment and do something for myself which I never do.

Anyway there is my rant. Here is to the best Birthday Ever.

A terrible Week in the US

AS many of you have read and watched there have been horrific things happening in the US.  A Boston Marathon Bombing and an explosion at a Texas plant all within the same week. 

The Boston Marathon bombing breaks my heart. It pains me to know that Americans cant feel safe anywhere. In school,  going to a movie, running a marathon.  All those people those innocent people who were running or cheering on their families not thinking how their life would change in the hours that followed at the finish line where the bomb went off then seconds later a few blocks down another one.  hundreds injured 3 beautiful innocent lives lost...one being only 8 years old.  His life cut short way to soon.  All because two people decided they wanted to inflict evil and pain on people who did NOTHING to them.  It make you sick to think about it.  Why we have to look at pictures of Boston and it looks like a war zone. 

Yes innocent people die everyday all over the world .  We see it everyday in the news.  hundreds upon hundreds of innocent people being killed when riding the bus, a train, getting groceries.  It happens so much that it is sadly almost like a regular thing in some places??  And why why do these people target the innocent??  It is because they are angry at someone in power and they want to make a statement or this is the way they prove loyalty to their leader.  It just is so sad what goes on there.  Those countries are Messed up.  But we don't live like that in the US that is not our day to day.  So when the violence is brought over here we don't stand for it. Our country will not get ripped apart because YOU want it to be.  We are not a war zone country and we deal with our issues differently.  Yes we have messed up people everywhere but bombings are not the regular here. Neither are flying planes into twin towers and ruining peoples lives.  We don't make a statement that way. 

Needless to say Lives have been changed forever. People who could walk a few days ago no longer can. their world has changed forever Their lives will never be the same and my prayers are with them. 

Drunk Driving Story

I saw a story on the news this weekend about a man who was riding his bike and got killed because an idiot decided to drink and drive.  The cyclist was obeying the traffic signals when this jack ass got off the 401 at Kennedy and ran the red light striking the cyclist and throwing him from his bike.  But it didn't stop there previous to this the loser in the Doge durango Hit a car LEFT the scene and went on the highway. It is clear he had no regard for anyone around him.  he was on a path of destruction.  after the cyclist he his several other cars. he could have killed and ruined more innocent lives but from what I read no one else was killed but they were injured. And this asshole walks away alive. with no injuries.  It makes me livid.  Seriously why in these drunk driving cases the Drunk driver remains alive while he/she ruins lives around them.  Maybe it is gods punishment so they can live with the guilt look and face the families that you ruined because you were not thinking. 

Stop drinking and driving innocent people should not die for your stupidity

This is a serious issue

Over the past 3 days I have read 2 stories of 2 young beautiful girls committing suicide after some losers decided it would be "cool" to rape them and take pictures of it and post them online.  Or maybe they thought it was funny....

Well was it funny when these 2 girls took their own lives because they were humiliated after seeing pictures of themselves being taken advantage of and raped online??  No I don't think so.

Are these "Boys" proud of themselves?? are they proud that because of their actions 2 girls took their own lives.  And what about the rest of the students all those who participated in the mocking and bullying calling them names like Slut.  You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Someone should have stood up for them someone should have said that this was wrong and done something.  What is wrong with youth today when a young girl is raped by a bunch of sick bastards and it is viewed as funny

Because of your immaturity 2 sets of parents don't have their little girl anymore. you stole their future, their will to live, their humanity.  Because of you their dad's will never get to see them graduate, see them off to college, walk them down the isle, have a grandchild.  Because of you there will be no birthdays, no Christmas's and Family dinners. 

A few weeks ago two idiots were charged with the rape of a 16 year old girl . They did the same thing they posted a photo of it online and again thought it was funny.  Because these boys were star athletes they didn't want them to be charged.  but they were charged as juveniles and they cried like children.  But I don't feel any sympathy for you.  Your tears mean nothing you are only crying because now you have to go to jail for what you did.  I wish it was adult prison then you would see the harsh reality of your actions... not so funny anymore is it?? 

 I have something to say to these "Boys" One stupid decision can ruin your life forever and not just yours your stupid decision ruins families I hope you have a sister. If you do I want you to take a good look at her and ask yourself how you would feel if your found out what happened to these girls happened to her. How would you feel if you went to her room or bathroom and found that she hung herself because she was being tormented because she was violated.  Think about that

 RIP Audrie Pott and Rehtaeh Parsons

These are a few of my Favorite things

So As we all know I love award shows and fashion and Bradley Cooper ;)  but I thought I would open my world up to you guys a little more and share with you some of my favorite things

First and for most I have a soft spot for animals and  I want to vent for a bit. It makes me livid when I read about abused animals. I think how could someone hurt an innocent creature when they are like babies? They don't have a voice so they can't ask someone to save them. It pains me to think of all the animals that are still out there being abused if you see something report it.  We need to be their voice.  

So now that my vent in over lets start with my first favorite thing in the whole entire world my 3 babies Mika, Luna and Nala.  They make my world and can turn a bad day better 

Keeping on the cuteness note another one of my favorite things are pictures of big dogs with kittens here are a few :)

Is that not the cutest thing ever!! it makes me so happy!

Another one of my favorite things are my 2 nieces and Nephew (with another little guy on the way from my sis in law!)  They are the best and I love them to death.  They have so much to say and are so innocent and will just say whatever they feel which makes me laugh so hard sometimes.  My world is filled with adorable when they are around

 Next lets move on to my favorite TV shows I have 3 series I watch religiously  The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, and Once upon a Time. I love a show that at the end leaves me screaming at my TV in surprise "WHAT!!!!!!!"  These three shows do that every week

What Ties into watching my favorite shows is of course being comfortable. Now one of my favorite things is of course comfort.  and I LOVE PJ days where I just stay in them all day and lounge around.  If you haven't tried it I suggest it. Take a day for yourself stay in your PJ's all day order take out and have a nice glass of wine while watching a movie or a TV series marathon.  here are some staples that I have as my comfortable favorite things

Everyone should have a cozy throw in their house!  perfect for wrapping yourself up in while you nestle in your couch with your glass of wine or warm cup of coffee... You can picture it cant you!

Ahhh Relaxation!!!



OK now that you are snuggled up and cozy lets move on!

I love a good Burger and one of my favorites would have to be a Shake shack burger Look and you will see: YUM!

what do you drink after you have a great burger, A caramel  Macchiato from Starbucks of course!!  one of my favorite drinks!

Now the burger and Starbucks tie in to two of my favorite places to go on vacation. One of the places you can get a Shake shack Burger is NYC and of course you can get a Starbucks everywhere but one place I find they make them so good is on Robson Street in Vancouver which is also one of my favorite vacation spots!  If you have not gone to either of these places please put them on your bucket lists.  New York is good for everything from theatre to dining to shopping to museums to art galleries to almost anything you want!  Vancouver has breathtaking views from almost anywhere you go. One of my favorite things is when you are driving down the highway you see the mountains and it is so beautiful that... yes I am going to say it.... I wouldn't mind being in traffic!  

Now who doesn't love a good coffee table book

I adore coffee table books because they make your table look pretty, they could be a conversation starter, and they are interesting to read  

I love Movies I love escaping to an alternate reality for 1.5 to 2 hours and laughing my ass off or sobbing uncontrollably Here are a few of my favs 

I love this Movie it makes me so happy inside

"Hey Yooouuuu Guysss!!!!"  Do I need to say more??

Ohh this Movie gives me hope that Destinty is a reality :)

Anything Audrey Hepburn is in is my Favorite

I LOVE Samantha in this movie I can watch this over and over and never get sick of it

Have I ever mentioned how much I adore Ginny Goodwin  This movie can relate to all of us

Finally My pics for my favorite Books

Yeah Everyone knows about these books They are awesome Nuff said!

I love this book Because I am so Rachel!!

So there you have it just a small selection of my favorite things hope some of the things on the list become yours as well

Cheers!!!

Now to my Favorite part the Fashion!!!!  OK so I usually stick to 5 best 5 worst but I have to say the ladies were on their A game! so I picked more best dressed then worst dressed And I have also included Fashion from the after parties as well So lets get started!

BEST DRESSED



Jessica Chastain in Armani- She was my top pick of the night.  She looked amazing! So Glamorous I knew she would Bring it!!  I adore her and even though she didn't win an Oscar she won over every Fashion person out there with this dress!





Halle Berry in Versace- My my my she looked so beautiful yesterday but when does Halle Berry ever look bad? I don't think that many people can pull this off but Halle worked it in this dress!





Kerry Washington in Miu Miu I love everything about this dress she chose what was right for her body and it hugged her in all the right places the top had enough bling that she didn't have to wear jewels Great job Girl!!



Naomi Watts in Armani- She nailed it with this number. The Impossible actress shined in this sparkler, and I was a fan! 

Who Doesn't love Reese Witherspoon??  She looked breathtaking in this Louis Vuitton gown and her hair...WOW she credits her shiny locks to having a baby!  Moms everywhere take note! 



The super Adorbs Sandra Bullock in Ellie Saab I was actually watching All About Steve right before the Red carpet started. I love her in all her movies she is just too cute! 



 




First Congrats are in order for the lovely Miss Lawrence winning the Best Actress Oscar.  She was Great in Silver Linings Playbook and she stunned everyone in this beautiful  Dior Haute Couture dress. She brought elegance to the Oscars, even if she fell going to get her Oscar! Jennifer I still love you and  when that happened She still was composed and just moved right along Atta Girl!!:)



In my existence I have said if I could look like one person it would be Charlize Theron and the above picture can back up that statement. She is flawless and I am just memorized by how beautiful she is.  Like Jennifer she also wore Dior Couture  



Now even though I swear she chugs a few before every red carpet interview Amanda still looks so beautiful in this Alexander McQueen dress everything just worked and she was a star in this Dress.... The red carpet interviews??  Not so much

Lets move on shall we?  Now the Worst dressed list was actually hard to compile.  And even though these ladies below made it onto that list the choices were not SO bad

WORST DRESSED



Ohh Mrs Catherine Zeta Jones.  Yes it was the Oscars and Yes they are made of Gold but I don't think they wanted you to come dressed up as one in this Zuhair Murad Dress 




Helen Helen Helen!!!  Although I applaud her for wearing a dress from H&M  She could have at least put a steamer or iron to it to get rid of all these wrinkles!  Come on Helen it's the Oscars!




Poor Kristen came on the Red carpet in Crutches!!  Wow what a time to injure yourself.  Although I do like her choices most of the time this Reen Aera dress missed the mark.  Maybe she made the choice while on pain killers?? 




Ok OK I know what you are thinking I have it out for Nicole Kidman since she always ends up on my worst dressed.  Now I will say this L' Wren Scott gown is not the worst I have seen on her It's just too much not for Nicole she should try simplicity I think it would work for her




Congrats to Anne for the Best Supporting Actress award.  I love her necklace but this dress is Meh.  Plus any dress that has a low back as this one does means you cant wear a bra with it which means you then suffer from a really bad case of nippleidis I think some little covers were in order here.  Note to Anne's Stylist! 

OK now we get to the Best part the Sexy Men of the Oscars!!!



As promised here is Bradley in his Tux at the Oscars. Hair slicked back looking so sharp, Sexy, hot  and drool worthy and did I say sexalicious?  He is just too fine for words. He brought his mom to the Oscars. Perfect Gentleman Indeed




Channing Tatum the Sexiest Daddy-To-Be  looked so Yummy.  This guy can do everything (Have you seen Magic Mike?!!!)  Hot, Sexy and can bust a move!   I posted this picture with him and his beautiful wife because they are just so in love and it shows and how he is looking at her.. All of us girls wish for a great man like him! 


 

Next we have Chris Evans.  He stars in Captain America and the Avengers... Um Chris you can rescue me any day looking as smoking hot as you do in that suit YUM!!! 




Chris Pine.... I am drooling here.  Beam me up to wherever his Fine ass is.  Those eyes.. those blue blue eyes....




And last but not least my little British Gem Eddie Redmayne.  You wear a suit well and Yesterday he sang.  Sexy, British and sings. My heart is melting

Now of course as R Kelly says "After the show there's the After Party"  and there were lots of them  Here are some of my best dressed of the night. Now just so you know there were some fashion changes by the ladies so that is why you will see them again below

I actually liked this dress on Amy Adams better than her Oscar dress

There  we go Anne Now this is a way better dress!!!!

OK I know it is Britney but she looks so good!!  I actually love this look and it is a top choice for me!

I had Posted a picture of Emma at another event where her dress was just not right for her.  She learned well because she looks beautiful in this!!

Holy boobies batman!!!  but damn does she pull it off or what,  she must have some great tape to keep her girls in place or this is a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen

I love her fashion choices !  I adore this Dress I am sure her boyfriend Ian Smolderhalder was quite pleased

 WOW Jane Fonda I hope I look that Stunning when I am her Age

Love this look but she needs to eat a burger or something Those hands reaching out in the picture I think they are afraid she might blow away

If I was to wear Orange I would wear this!! 

See Miley has a low cut back dress but no nippleidis she knew what to do :)

Now this is what a Victoria Secret model should look like! 



So there is a recap for everyone hope you enjoyed the Fashion and the show!!
