Down with Pnina

So...I've been watching Say Yes to the Dress. I realize it's in New York and, who are we kidding, New Yorkers are sometimes...mmm...tacky. But come on. Really? Are there really THAT many people that want to look like a hooker on their wedding day? And although the answer is obviously and unfortunately "yes," sorry Pnina. This is revolting.

It's horrifying times like these that cause me to ask, "What would Ingrid think?"

My feelings exactly, Ingrid. My feelings exactly.

So That's What It's Called

Hi. I'm a girl. I paint my nails. I do my make up.
While I do these things, I look in the mirror and think to myself,
"Self, how can you get a job naming these products, because you are like waay more clever than these ding bats."
And I then respond,
"Self, you are just too sweet. But I don't think that job can really exist. Can it?"
Then the original me says,
"Self, just focus on your eyeliner. That's definitely not a straight line."

Well, Selves...You're wrong! That's totally a job! It falls underneath the umbrella of what's known as a Freelance Namer (seriously). Ironically enough, I found out on a website called The Art of Manliness. I'm not kidding. Go. Read. Envy this man.

BTW Proof that I should totally be a Namer:
(These would be for my new Ghetto Ghoulies nail polish line)

Gang Green
Bloods and Crypts
Silver Bullet
Pushing Daisies Yellow
Skeletor (Whatever. He's a villain.)

I could continue but who likes a show off?
