Coco By Lagerfeld

I know, I’m on a Coco spree….

What to do?

I love this film- wish I could do a whole collection of “Simply Silents”…. one day.
; )

The Secret + My Korean Manicurist

So as is normal on Friday, I went and got a manicure.

I walked in and immediately after I got my “annyong hashimnikka” I was told to “picka color.”

Which I did.

Now usually I go for colors that reflect my emotional state of being and at the time I would definitely say “licorice,” (BLACK) was fitting.

But then I had this thought “What would Oprah do?”

(That woman must be doing SOMETHING(?) right as she’s “uber-successful” (and who doesn’t want to be “uber-successful?) and when one feels as low as I was… naturally you tend to get a bit…. “batty”).

The answer to that question (in my mind) was “The Secret!”

“Be the light, reflect the light, “attract” the LIGHT.”

My version of “reflecting the light”:

Essie’s version of “Springtime in Paris” only in my case it’s “Springtime in New York, which seems to be taking forever to get on with!”

I went with “Perky Purple” which in the bottle looked pretty “positive” and very “Spring-ish”.

(I will warn you though, consider wearing sunglasses when sporting it. YES. IT’S THAT BRIGHT)

Well, it’s been two days and the results I must admit have been pretty “crazy-good”.

My favorite after (possibly)-life-altering-manicure happening, so far:

The “deleted contact” has been removed from the “deleted contact list.”

AFTER a 12 hour conversation ( ; )…. on (Serendipity!) Friday night (after bidding my manicurist “annyonghi jumushipsiyo”) I’m now in what I can generically say is an “it’s-complicated” relationship.

(Note the word: “R-ELATION-SHIP” yay.. ; )

Which is completely fine by me as I’m happy and peaceful about the many “complications”.

I’m in the relationship I WANT to be in. The one that actually makes me happy.

I know, you’re all probably thinking what did the “manicure” have to do with it?

And I guess the honest answer is along with my weekly Korean lesson, I realized that regardless of the complications when you really choose things that you want and stay committed to your happiness the “details” don’t really matter.

(Tim Gunn put it pretty “not-so-poignant-but-very-true” you just “make it work.”)

I wanted to feel “bright and happy” even though internally I felt like shite, and yeah I’d never really go for what I ended up choosing but in the moment, I WANTED Perky Purple.

AND yes, I admit it would drive me up a wall if it was just… on one finger (eww) BUT if you look at it from far away with all ten fingers done “perfectly” my manicurist “painted a damn pretty picture.”

(Note to my mum: I know, I know, I know. You don’t have to say a thing. BUT- I’m happy. Really. ; )

Day (5) L+Only+E(before the LY)+Hearts

So, I realized this morning while rummaging through my drawers, that I left my favorite bra at the “deleted contact’s” apartment.

Not cool.

I don’t even wear bras and now the “one” is gone. Poof!
(JUST. LIKE. THAT).

It’s sad really, as it’s probably just sitting there in “deleted contact’s” laundry bag or on the chair where “deleted contact’s” cat sleeps. Fudgecracker.

It fit just right too…..oh the irony…

Lesson learned.
Don’t buy things for yourself, when really you’re buying them for someone else.

I.E.

Meet (to-be) “deleted contact,” flirt with (to-be) “deleted contact” start to fancy “playing the game” for (to-be) “deleted contact,” and with that in mind go out and buy pretty things to “further attract” the (to-be) “deleted contact.”
Wear said pretty things (bras I wouldn’t ever normally wear and pretty “feminine” underwear) all of which cost me a “pretty little penny”…. but only for a Little Bit.
(Don’t mean that in a “skank” sense but… you get what I mean).

(To-be) “deleted contact” doesn’t even mention the “pretty” things, instead throws them on the ground or on the chair (where cat and other clothing are piled up high to be folded or thrown into “dirty” laundry bag.

Victoria’s Secret my ass…

If she had one it would be a) don’t bother and b) don’t shop here either. (Not that I do).

Another ironic point is said items were purchased at Only Hearts in Nolita.

Only Hearts has morphed into Lonely Hearts and Bare Double A’s.

Humph!

“Think” Horoscope

So, I finally made it out of the house after falling asleep and then waking up and thinking it was “tomorrow” morning.

(Which would have meant that I had to hustle out of bed, hop in the shower, wash hair, spend 15 minutes trying to figure out what to do with “hair” and then figure out why the concealer I bought a week ago is shite and doesn’t actually cover up “under eye circles” all the while checking my (crack)berry to make sure I’d leave my apt no later then 9:30 AM in order to make sure I had just a few extra minutes to grab that cup of coffee I get for a dollar around the corner from my place that tastes better than any 5 dollar latte Starbuck’s has on the market. Yes, this is my “morning routine”).

Anywhoo- it’s still today (well tonight) thank the Baby Jesus.

Okay back to the “point of this particular post”…

Headed out to get a (2 dollar) cup of coffee three blocks away from my apt, seeing as the (1 dollar) cup of coffee man wasn’t selling anymore… (friggin ay)… ended up picking up a “Coffee News” along with the (2 dollar) cup of coffee and lo and behold my horoscope for the day, no wait, it’s for the week. Damn.

(Note: I read both Pisces and Aries… think “a mashup by GirlTalk” only instead of spending a year to make an album it only takes me about two minutes to figure out what I like and don’t like about what the day holds for me “according to the stars” for both signs).

Pisces :
“You are energized and inspired creatively and emotionally at this time and you want to bring forth all that is within you.”

I don’t know… sounds a bit “meh” to me.

Can I say “cliche”??
I’m thinking “not very accurate” as wouldn’t any “healthy” person want to be doing and feeling that like… everyday?

Aries:
“You have an urge to be more committed, loyal and dedicated to your mate, marriage or business partner, possibly due to higher self-confidence.”

Ummmmmm…. well……

Can I say puppy???

Meaning I have none of the above mentioned partners, therefore that’s a load of shite.

Though I been thinking very strongly about getting a puppy (“commitment”) to help me get over “deleted contact” who very well could be the person/partner/mate the damn astrologer was talking about.

I must ask though, did she/he not get the memo?
The one about the “deleted contact” in which HE stated “if one day you can honestly say you don’t LOVE me anymore,” (paraphrasing here) ” then we can be in each other’s lives”.

And what’s up with the usage of “possibly” ALONG with “due to higher self-confidence?”
She/he really, really, really missed the bus on that one.

Yeah I “possibly” would feel better if “deleted contact” didn’t basically say…

I’d rather you… “meh(d) me instead of “love(d) me.”

(*Meh = total turn-off/BUMMER).

I’m beginning to wonder if the conspiracy is true and all published horoscopes are really just ways in which CIA operatives can communicate with each other globally and on the DL?

Hmmmm…..
