Sorting through my Mobile Uploads–Crazy Edition

Many of my friends on Facebook joke about my fondness of my Blackberry Tour’s camera and capturing the unexpected moments that occur right in front of my eyes…  Today I realized that I had nearly 300 photos on my phone’s memory card so while I’m organizing and deleting. I definitely think some of these are funny enough that they should be shared with the rest of my blog readers… Check out these hilarious pics and the captions beneath them… I’ll be sure to post more later on. Obviously there are PLENTY to go around, so look for the Fashion, Travel and Food editions to follow!

An EXTREEEEMLY drunk guy at the casino trying to get a crippled April to go home with him and become his wife, while Sharon happily pushes April’s wheelchair so she’s practically in the guy’s lap. LOL – I love my girls….

Amtrak took a “smoke break” at one of the stops and we hopped off, into the COLD weather, only to see a very tall guy wearing the world’s shortest shorts ever. Nice legs.

My grandfather decided he wanted a garden in his Detroit backyard and got a little carried away… a few months later he had taken over the backyard and converted it to a farm.

Bobby’s roommate (car on left) came home a little “tipsy” and decided to park in the END SPOT, against my car (on right) leaving me NO SPACE to get  out. I sent this pic along with some choice words.

When my 5 year old cousin BJ found out I “work with Ronald McDonald”, his response was “So… Cousin Cherish works with a clown? Like, in her office?” Hahaha - I swear he thinks like a grown man.

Father son duo taking a scooter ride down the street. Poor kid… I sure hope that man doesn’t have gas.

The most appropriate cake-topper for my relationship… and the very close runner up.

The photo I showed the beautician, and the hair style she gave me because she felt it look better. Thus, I would NEVER recommend Stacey at Mirror Mirror Salon in Chicago unless I wanted to make sure you look way worse than I do.

And last, but not least… My brother, Bravo, got bored in a CVS one morning and starting rearranging the toys and sent me a pic… *shaking my head*

The item of the day is the Barnes and Noble Nook Color, available for $249 at BN.com or Best Buy.com!!! This e-reader looks AMAZING and has been getting good reviews. I asked my parents for a Nook for Christmas, I would love the color edition for magazine reading, but really don’t NEED it so the basic version of the Nook would be ok for me. I’ve debated buying an e-reader for a couple of years, and many of my friends that have them absolutely love them!

Daydreaming of Ball Gowns…

So I have a gala coming up soon and as much as I’d like to buy a new dress, after returning from a week long vacation I’m going to have to zip up my Botkier handbag and visit my trust old closet… Stay tuned. There is no telling what I might find in there!

But before I go, I’ll share a few of my “ideal gowns” for this weekend’s gala… Too bad BCBG doesn’t rent their gowns, because these price tags are UP THERE!  :(

This black BCBG tulle gown would look awesome on my “fresh off a Mexican vacation” tanned body!

This tulle one-shoulder gown is fun and gives a bit of a romantic, ballerina feel… cute!

I don’t think I’m daring enough to wear this but it would definitely stand out, which is a REALLY good thing…

And if I really wanted to take over the room and sparkle (literally)… this would be a no brain! The beautiful sequin gown by Rachel Gilbert, available at Net-a-porter.com, is the best way to capture every eye and every ray of light in the room!
