Teenagers Go To Dances.

I literally showed up at his door while he wasn't home and got his parents' permission to enter and decorate. My amazing best friend was there to help. Teenage boys...can't make their beds, so I attempted to straighten out a little, but not too much cos that's his job. Hopefully the kid likes it. Girls pay for guy dances...means the disappearance of my paycheck. Tickets: $70, Shirts: $30, asking supplies: $15, having a good date: priceless.

The GOP and Starbucks.

Tonight I spent the night at school at a Law Review hosted party to watch the Belo Debate between the three Republican Party candidates for Texas governor. Perry, Medina, and Hutchinson...FAIL. I've always leaned more towards Republicans than Democrats, seeing that I was raised in a conservative Asian immigrant Catholic family, it's not a surprise. My parents voted McCain, for those who care. I liked McCain pre-Palin of course. Palin fucked up McCain's campaign, and after watching Medina, she reminds me of a fat slightly less dumb version of Palin, therefore, she's lame. K. Bailey, she's a bit of a ditz too. Perry I guess would be the least dumb, so I guess he'll be the one to win. We'll have to pick the lesser of the three evils. Anyways, before heading to the debate watching filled with fattening Domino's pizza and soda (I had water instead), I headed to Starbucks. Of course, I ordered and happily consumed a warm skinny hazlenut latte. It's snowing here in Dallas and it's also around 30 degrees; the drink was fitting for the weather. There's my rant, not fashion related at all, just my rant.

Oh by the way, did anyone watch the State of the Union Address and Republican Response. Obama's speech was pretty decent, but then again, Democrats are generally better at public speaking than Republicans, and that's quite evident. However, I was a bit annoyed by Pelosi's constant standing ovations in the middle of Obama's "great moments" in his speech. Once again, the GOP fails miserably at responding. Why the hell would you send a governor that has been in office for 11 days to present a response to the president's speech? He sounded like an informercial the whole time, bothersome. Politicians have been failing lately. Please give them some better debating and public speaking skills. Thank you.

Alex Chung, one of my favorite tv hosts and models, will be collaborating with my favorite brand Madewell 1937 on a spring line. According to vogue, it's a great match. After it was announced on Madewell's Twitter, I was extremely excited. Alex has this mix of vintage and modern to her style, while Madewell has this cool all American feel to its clothing; the mix is sure to spur some great creations.

CHAPPED.

Because it's the winter season, lips will get chapped. I've always been a fan of Burt's Bees lip balm; both their Beeswax lip balm and their medicated lip balm. However, today, mom came home with a purchase of two tubes of Alba passion fruit nectar lip balm. Before unwrapping the package, I decided to do some research.

So after trying this new product, I have the following to say. It works pretty well, smells really nice compared to the beeswax smell that mom seems too hate so much. It's also really good for those who have extra dry lips but cannot handle the burning sensation of the medicated burt's bees formula. All in all, try it, but I think I'll stick to Burt's Bees for now. According to mom, Alba costs a few cents less than Burt's Bees. However, when I checked online, Burt's Bees actually costs less when it comes to the regular Beeswax lip balm. The medicated one is a dollar more, but it's medicated, so the higher price is reasonable.

Le Carousel Dress

So there's this dance at school called Carousel of Roses. It's basically a Sadie Hawkins dance that requires girls, like me, to spend around $100 on a guy. This year it's at the Westin Hotel Stonebriar in Frisco, Tx. In other words, my wonderful, and attractive date will have to drive us very far. But at least he'll have a wonderful date, me, in a nice dress.
