come and get it

come and get it

I'm gonna talk about this video for a second alright? I just watched it for the first time today at work actually. It was a slow morning and we didn't really feel like swiffering or finishing replen so we went to Starbucks to get protein boxes then sat in the office to gossip, giggle, and poke around on Youtube while waiting for the mall to open. 
So obviously if you have eyes you can see that Selena is gorgeous. But the whole video was done so well, so artfully. The colors were were liquid, vivid, even sensual in a way. The scenery was appropriately exotic and the transitions between frames were as velvety smooth as Selena's voice. 
I'd also like to point out that I very much appreciate Selena's take on sexiness. Sultry and primal are the two words that come to mind while watching this video. She is very sophisticated and glamorous in a way that feels acceptably provocative. She isn't twerking around in latex lingerie making a hot ratchet mess of herself, because that just isn't her thing. (Disclaiming: I give props to Miley for her confidence and zero fs given attitude. She got what she wanted- attention. So, girl power.)  Instead, Selena is rolling around in a field of lavender laced up in a silk chiffon corset and smizing into the camera with soaking wet hair before plunging beneath the surface of a mystical teal blue spring. You wanna talk about sexy? I'd say Selena nailed it. Please enjoy the video below.

Red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere
We run things things don't run we
It's our party we can do what we want to

I just love this video okay. Okay.

Comme tout le monde, j'adore Brigitte. The idea for this collage came to me while watching some Lisa Eldridge videos. She's a really cool makeup artist with a sensational British accent. Watch the video below for a how-to on the classic cat eyed, pink-lipped Bardot look.

weyill and ry in fl



My boys came to see me over the past few days. It was so wonderful to finally see them again after so many months apart. They're like family to me and life without them just isn't the same. I showed them around town and we took the boat out; that was real fun. I meant to load up my Nikon with a new roll of film, but I never got around to it. Shame on me. At least I got a couple phone pics. Ry's twentieth birthday is tomorrow, so we had cake and pizza and presents and what not. I love that boy with all my heart. He's the sweetest thing I've ever known.

Happy Birthday Baby.

Asher says on thirsty Thurday and Tuesday night ice I can get pizza a dollar a slice. Well we don't eat pizza on Thursday nights but we sure do have a good time. Me and Paigey are big fans of the classic combat-boot-and-tap-short combination when it comes to a night out after class.
