Linzo says:  Balling on a budget...Z-gallerie clearance rack, Kohl's and Ikea.

Disney Housewives and Snooki's engagement

Some REALLY important stuff that you need to know/see IMMEDIATELY...you can thank me later.

For the record- I DO NOT watch any Real Housewives series...not even the local nipped and tucked OC ladies cougars trash.  I mean lez-be honest...if I were to watch any of them, I'd watch Jersey...or Disney.....





Cinderella/Kristen Wiig is the standout here.  L-Lohan...I love Rapunzel, but you - not so much.


On the topic of semi-reality TV, Jersey and other hilarity....my dear Snooks is possibly

A) ENGAGED to Jianni

and B) Knocked up!

The Hollywood Reporter

Engaged and Prego?!?!

If the rumors are true...any guesses as to how this will affect her and J-Woww's show?  If Snooki can't go to Karma and jersey turnpike it with Deena then, again, lez-be honest...I'm not watching. 

Linzo says:  who am I kidding....I'm totally watching.

Koozie love

Beers and sunshine and fabulous movies on TV (Uptown Girls and The Sweetest Thing)...that's what Sunday's are made of.

Speaking of beer...

Love me some koozies!  Now I love the Lustre Pearl and Big Sky beer as much (if not more) than the next guy but I reallyyyyy want one of these:

Monogram koozies from Abigail Lee Home on Etsy.

I want, I want, I want!!! What a FAB bachelorette weekend gift this would be too...this way no one's beer gets mixed up!  Or just one for me for a Sunday afternoon...just sayin!

Linzo says: Beer just tastes sooooooooooo much better in a koozie!

The Help and other southern chick lit

First off: I am OBSESSED with any kind of southern literature...whether it be chick lit or a grand novel such as Gone with the Wind, I will devour it voraciously.  If it is set in Louisiana I am especially drawn to it, THANK YOU Rebecca Wells for the addiction.  Give me Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia or Alabama and I'll buy into that too.

Side Note: I can't discuss or listen to how much someone loves the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood until they've read the book.  The movie was God awful!  Sorry Sandy Bullock.  Go read the book and pretend you never saw the mockery of a movie.  

So anyways, I realize I am way late...I just read the book The Help after seeing the movie.  To be fair- I did buy the book not this past holiday season...but the past holiday season...I guess holidays 2010.  I was up ahead on the trend but then never read it for one reason or another.

I cannot imagine a different cast of characters but perhaps this is my fault as I saw the movie before reading the book. This movie made me fall in platonic love with Emma Stone.  I can't picture a better Minny or Aibeleen either.  I'm also quite a fan of Celia Foote aka Jessica Chastian who is up for an Oscar I believe.

Skeeter- Emma Stone

Celia Foote- Jessica Chastian

Hilly Holbrook, the character, makes me want to vomit.  And bitch slap her.  That being said, Bryce Dallas Howard as Hilly makes me cringe (after reading the book especially) since she is just so awful.  She apparently did a good job because I HATED her!

Hilly Holbrook- Bryce Dallas Howard ughhhhhh!

On a related note....these women (BOTH of them) deserve an Oscar. 

Aibeleen and Minny - Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer

I obviously wish the movie would have followed the book more...like The Phelans going over to the Senator and Mrs. Wentworth's home, Mrs. Phelan's illness and followed Skeeter and Staurt's relationship better.  Overall, phenomenal casting and movie.  It's hard to recreate a book and transform it into a movie but I think it was done excellently in this case.  And a tear-jerker...get some kleenex.

Linzo says: Need some more southern chick lit?  I'm a huge fan of Michael Lee West...go buy Mad Girls in Love.

Etsy obsessed

I've been trolling Etsy lately...

It is not good.

I want EVERYTHING...but am living in the poor house...what's a girl to do?!

A few things that have caught my eye:

stemless wineglasses from ModernMadness

AMAZING and ADORABLE prints from my BFF's shop LADYBIRD INK

phenomenal deer head from BananaTreeStudios

Linzo says: Buy me any of the above and I'll love you forever.
