Allow me to be very highschoolish when I say that I do watch The City(God forgive me) and one of the people on the show needs to eat NOW!!! Allie Crandell is a model living in NYC who has worked for Diesel Jeans and works for One Model Management. She is rail thin. So thin in fact that when I see her in tank tops bones stick out that I didn’t even know were there. Her thigs are a mere suggestion of a body part. Most times she looks like a pissed off alien leading me to believe she is actually from another planet is about to eat her model boyfriend.

I usually chat about all things wedding but I have to say that this chick is nasty. And I know there are people out there who secretly watch the show and feel the same way that I do.(Nikki, this one’s for you!)

Master of all things fashion show Kelly Cutrone even asked Allie, “Are you o.k? You are so skinny”. Dang, this woman books all the skinny girls for fashion shows and she thinks this girl needs to eat? That is a bad sign. It was nice to hear someone say that they don’t hire too skinny girls. After all of the hoopla from Italy a few years back about unhealthy runway models it is good to see an American in the business saying the same thing.

As for Ms. Allie, maybe I could Fed-Ex a box of Krispy-Kremes to her c/o MTV.

When You Don’t Eat The Terrorists Win

Since purchasing my wedding gown from Bridals By Lori I have been obsessing over my weight. I actually fit into a size 10 gown and considering they size the things wayyy tiny that was a major achievement for me. To keep my weight as-is and maybe even drop a few lbs I have been trying to cut 500 calories from my diet each day. Through a combination of constantly taking count of everything I munch on and burning upwards of 500 calories in the gym downstairs I have managed to drop 3 pounds. Considering I have been doing this for the last three weeks I am right on target.

This weekend however you could say that I fell off of the wagon. Friday I had dinner with Nicole and Reggie. Nicole made stromboli which is the devil!!! Satan I tells ya! Made with three different types of pork and a ton of cheese this carb wrapped goodness is amazing and NOT fat free. Add that to the two rum and cokes that I had and I cna definitely say I had more than 1500 calories that day. Who cares!!! She was kind enough to give the recipe she snagged off of http://www.foodnetwork.com/ . I highly recommend it.

Saturday I met Alicia for a long overdue evening at Six Feet Under. This is one of our favorite restaurants in town and seeing as her hubby hates seafood we made it our “just us girls” spot. No matter what the time, day, or mood we always start with calamari with extra jalapenos as an appetizer. We were happy to learn that they have added pieces of fried zuccini to the dish and have made the portion bigger. Sadly they have also made the price bigger too.(I remember stores saying that prices were going up because of rising fuel costs but now that gas is back under 2 bucks a gallon what is their excuse? Just wondering.) The dish is $9.95. For the main course I enjoyed their blackened catfish with killer coleslaw and fried okra. I washed it down with the new Atlanta import Yuengling beer. Technically I was having healthy fish and veggies… but technically I am not going to lie to myself. Battered and fried will always be my number 1 way to enjoy vegtables.

I spent my Sunday getting back on the wagon by drinking lots of water and skipping the fried stuff. However if you don’t have an overpriced dress to fit into any time soon go out and eat. Restaurants are hurting for business right now and what better way to say God bless America and get our economy moving than by having a Coronary Bypass burger from the Vortex!!!!

Let Go and Let Imagers……

So in the process of making our wedding invitations and all of the goodies that go with I ran into a problem. Trying to get the tiny reply cards/registry cards through the printer was impossible. I picked up a few of the ones I wanted to use at Sam Flax and decided to test them out. Crooked does not begin to describe the finished product. Tried it on another printer…just as bad. Just when I thought I would be spread out on our livingroom floor cutting big sheets of paper down into small cards I got a call from my rep at a local printing company.

I have used Imagers before for producing large display board pieces for work. Sherie, my rep, stopped by my office to drop off her paper sample swatch book that had just been produced and I realized I could probably get a quote from her on the printing. Why is the cost half that that if I had printed them myself for the same paper quality? And I don’t have to sit down with my cutter for hours on end.
