Silence.

I understand that some people adore Lady Gaga. At first, I thought she was interesting and I will admit, the girl can sing. However, now I see that her antics are weird for weirdness sake. I think it is all an act, a marketing ploy and I am just not falling for it.

That being said, I do appreciate her charity efforts with Japan and bullying. I am never going to knock her for that.

But just this week Gaga sat down for an interview with Miss O herself.

In her interview Gaga revealed that she will breed until she has a soccer team, and that she is going to take a vow of silence. (Somehow these two revelations seem to be contradictory to me.)

I immediately thought of this commercial when I heard that Gaga proclaimed to the world via a television interview with Miss O herself that she would be taking a vow of silence.


Anyone with me on this?

Unique.

Have you ever seen anything like this skirt? Me neither. I want.

Best. Jeans. Ever.

These are The. Best. Jeans. Ever.

I consider myself a jeans pro. I have over 50 pairs. I worked at Gap and was the "Denim Specialist." I know the cuts, the shrink, the materials. I even have a coffee table book on "The Blue Jean." With that being said, these jeans are amazing. Not too skinny/tight; comfy as pajamas; don't really stretch that much; perfect length for heels and hold a "cuff up" to wear flats. What more could you ask for?

I have one pair and am considering ordering more. Is that obsessive or just safe? Do you buy more than one of something if you adore it?

The Eight Kindes of Drunkennes.

Back in 1592, Elizabethan satirist Thomas Nashe produced and distributed a popular pamphlet named "Pierce Pennilesse," within which was written the following — a list describing the "Eight Kindes of Drunkennes."

It seems that very little has changed. I know many of these "Drunkennes."


THE EIGHT KINDES OF DRUNKENNES

- The first is ape drunke; and he leapes, and singes, and hollowes, and danceth for the heavens;

- The second is lion drunke; and he flings the pots about the house, calls his hostesse whore, breakes the glasse windowes with his dagger, and is apt to quarrell with anie man that speaks to him;

- The third is swine drunke; heavie, lumpish, and sleepie, and cries for a little more drinke, and a fewe more cloathes;

- The fourth is sheepe drunke; wise in his conceipt, when he cannot bring foorth a right word;

- The fifth is mawdlen drunke; when a fellowe will weepe for kindnes in the midst of ale, and kisse you, saying, "By God, captaine, I love thee. Goe thy wayes; thou dost not thinke so often of me as I doo thee; I would (if it pleased God) I could not love thee as well as I doo;" and then he puts his finger in his eye, and cryes;

- The sixth is Martin drunke; when a man is drunke, and drinkes himselfe sober ere he stirre;

- The seventh is goate drunke; when, in his drunkennes, he hath no minde but on lecherie;

- The eighth is fox drunke; when he is craftie drunke, as manie of the Dutchmen bee, that will never bargaine but when they are drunke.

Divine. Her and this dress, both. I wish I had an ounce of her style at that age. I am sure that having amazing designers on your speed-dial helps... Just sayin'. Either way, she is just amazing.

Every. Single. Thing.

Every time I look at this picture I see something new and I fall in love all over again. The walls originally caught my eye - Have you ever seen walls like that?!?! Is it petrified wood? Marble? I don't care - just give it to me.

Then I saw the rug. Then the chandelier. Then the peonies (one of my ultimate faves). Then the black walls of the far room. Then gold/wood candlesticks. Then the chairs. Then the bubble lamp in the far room.... It just does not stop. I want every single thing in this room!
