This song put me in a good mood today.....

From one Shore to another

Yes. This is a true TV trailer for a real TV show.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you "Geordie Shore." Uk's version of "Jersey Shore."

At first glance, when I saw the trailer on the telly, my eyes did a complete 180. They rolled like nobody's business.  I was like, "Um, no.  No one can emulate the beautiful guidos and guidettes that grace MTV's channel." But the more and more they showed the trailer, (which was pretty often.  I guess the more you show it, they will come.) and the fact that I obsess over "Jersey Shore" like it's no one's business,  I had to give it at least one try and see what this show was all about.

That was a bad idea, because......yeah.....I'm already addicted.

Although these characters are uncannily similar to those of the OG shore show, and the situations that take place also seem like deja' vu, I actually am able to push all of the biter status aside, and enjoy these UK characters.  They are complete hilar.  I mean, first of all, the guys are the nerdier version of the cool macho Jersey guys.  It's pretty endearing though. I think it's cute. And just like the Jersey fellas, they pull all types of easy BZs back to the pad and shag like no other. The gals are a lot more glam than the Jersey chicas, but over the top still. Also, the make-up on all of them combined can create a whole new chain of products.  They wear that much.  Another thing, that just makes me giggle to bits, is the fact that, just like the Jersey peeps, they tan like no one's business.  The only thing is, they are so fake tanned, they have created a new shade of orange.  It's WONDERFUL!

WHen I first watched the show, I mainly wanted to watch it to learn what the Hell a Geordie was. Pretty much it's a Guido from Essex. And for those of you who have no idea what Essex people are like, just think Beverly Hills.

Here, let Wikepedia tell you all about them.

Despite the fact that I tend to rewind certain clips due to the fact that I am Geordie accent impaired, the fools just entertain me by their body language and the way the look.  It amuses me so.  Another thing that I love about this show is that because I am not residing in prude little USA, the MTV here is a bit more lenient on their foul language and graphic sex scenes.  It makes me feel like a little kid watching a porno.  I know I shouldn't be watching it, because it's bad, but I'm a curious cat and it's just cool to watch!

If any of you could somehow find a way to watch this show in the states, I HIGHLY recommend.  I know I may have bad taste in shows. It's my guilty pleasure.  To me, the trashier the better....but just try it.  It's a good time....

Also...check this link out to meet the cast.  They're flippin fantastic

I'm with the Band

As I am sitting here on my couch wearing a non matching short and t-shirt set, I have suddenly been inspired to blog about a fashion trend that I have been noticing ova heah.

Headbands.

I've always been a lover of headbands.  There was even a time where I almost OD'ed on headbands, because I was a frequent user, and refused to stop.  I actually blamed my frequent usage on laziness.  Now, that I have more time to actually comb and fix my hair, headbands haven't really visited my head of tresses as much as it used to.  Until now......

Yes my dears, Headbands are back in fashion, and once again, I am a user.....

Although the headbands like so

have been on the trend wagon for quite some time....it's another type of headband that I have allowed on this dome of mine.  This type of headband is the hot piece at the moment, and they way these women wear these, make me want to grab their heads and cuddle them with glee.

Pretty damn cute.

Back in the day when headbands were as much a part of me as my nose, I tended to wear these pieces of cloth in a bohemian type of style.  I think I chose to wear it that way because I was an art student in college, and STARVING.  So being in that category, I immediately thought that I should fit the part and dress bohemian.

But that was me.

As I walk the streets of England, these colored pieces always pass my eye level. No matter what they wear this accessory with, their hair always looks great.  

One thing that amazes me about this accessory trend, is that, I have seen headbands worn with various types of outfits.  Be it sweats, dresses, shorts with tights, a bathing suit, it's like ketchup with anything.  Yummy.  WHo would have thought that a small piece of cloth can make such a huge fashion statement?

Yeah, I'm with this trend.....

Bath Time

It's a beautiful sunny morning, my last Saturday off, and a week past a glorious visit to a glorious city. First of all, let me clarify what I meant by last Saturday off.  Yes BZs, I am officially off the unemployment list.  I got a jobby job!  Thank you, thank you.  Now mama can bring home some scrumptious bacon for me and the hubby to enjoy.  :)
Onwards.

So exactly a week ago today, the hubby and I decided to do a little last minute excursion after finding out that I became part of the workforce.  Setting our sights high by planning on going on a little weekender to another foreign land, it was soon ruined the by the idea of being broke for 2 weeks.  So we opted for a lighter option, and that was pick a place in England, and visit the hell out of it.  So we did, and this is where we went

This beautiful place called BATH.  

I must recommend to all people planning on setting foot on UK soil a visit to this place over yonder.  First of all, IT's DAMN BEAUTIFUL!

I mean, look

Beautiful streets. A little FYI, these streets were specially made high, to hold houses that housed the "pretty" people of Bath.  They were made high to avoid these "pretty" people from getting mud on their "pretty" clothes.  Vain.

Beautiful flats and their doors....

...and their columns...I put this one in for the Art buffs.  How amazing is the facade of this building????? I almost gizzed in my pants because this building had THREE different styled columns.  Yes, THREE!  Yeah, I'm an art nerd like that.  After grabbing the hell out of the lover's muscles, he looked at me as though I were some psycho nerd watching Starwars in 3D or something.  Whatevs....I got my hobbies....

Beautiful Roman baths

And beautiful children dancing beautifully to music in the streets.  

This place just oozed heart melt.  Every corner I turned, caused more mouth gaping, and eye widening on my face.  I was scared that if someone were to slap me on the back, that I may have had a permanent face that would have looked similar to this

And although I love art to bits, this was one art piece I did not want to sport on my face 24/7.

So let me talk about me and the hubby's journey.  First of all we did our favorite tour bus

The notorious "City sightiseeing Hop on and Off" tour bus.  This bus is amazing.  Not only does it give you a thorough tour of the city of your choice worldwide, but it also plays the the part of a taxi.  We can literally "hop on and off," hence the name, and galavant around any tourist spot we want.  I heart this bus.  I want to marry this bus, and create multiple mini buses with it.  No, not really, but in my heart I do.  Anyways...here's my little plug for that company....I should be getting some kind of referral discount or something.  (If any of you readers work for this company, or maybe even OWN this company, please take that thought into consideration.  Just sayen....)

But anyways, if it weren't for the bus, those previous pictures would not have existed.

Another thing that I loved about this bus here in Bath was that me and my por vida were the youngest folks on the tour.  I don't know what it is about them, but I get all geelgy whenever I see the elder and wiser people on vacay.  They seem so hip to me.  

So after this bus ride, and snapping pictures like crazy, all the while having to try and dodge tree branches and have frequent visits from falling foliage on my head and face, me and Ricardo then visited the place which Bath is most famous for.  The Roman Baths.

This place was amazeballs

Sigh....It's like I traveled to Italy via teleport.  

 First of all, the architecture was just like that of the beautiful country that holds a key to my heart.

Probably because the Romans used to once live in this glorious England city.

Here's some more info about the history and shizz on Bath and the Roman Baths

Bath

So Anyways, as I walked onto the same limestones that the Romans once touched, because these Baths are still OG material and condition, I felt like sporting a toga and speaking Latin.  Because Togas are not a hot fashion trend and no one would have understood my Latin, I remained normal.

So walking through these well kept ruins kept my imagination whirl winding.  Just think, naked Romans once frolicked within these walls, conversed about life, shedded the dirt off their back, hooked up, GTL'd, fist pumped, and everything else cool.  

I seriously did not want to leave the Baths.  It was just to out of this world, totally.  The only thing that got me excited to leave were the wonderful little shops outside waiting to collect my money.  So we left, deposited money until last cashier closed, and homested became or new destination. 

I must admit, as we were leaving Bath, I kept looking back with whistful eyes, and my hand reached out.  Like a little poor child in the movies leaving their parents to live their life as a young wife to an older richer man.  I watch too much TV. But yeah.....I was like that.

Sigh....I miss that place so.....I need a Bath....soon. 

More cool stuff

So this week I've been concentrating on my other Etsy store.  The store that I put my blood sweat and tears into.  My "Aimes Design" store.  I've been trying to pump out some new cards, and tags, and shizz like that for people to enjoy, and hopefully buy.  Check it out and please help spread the word for this starving artist.  :)  Hope you like what you see!  And if you do.  BUY IT!  But no pressure.

#1 por vida forever

One thing that sucks about being overseas, is missing out on certain TV shows. Although the UK has some FAB ones over here.....not all of them feature the same people that I drool over in the states.

Take this one for instance. My numero uno on my, "Who I would like to boink" list. The lovely and seeeexay Pitbull.

When I heard that he performed on "Dancing With the Stars" via Twitter, I almost threw my phone at the Telly. I was so upset I missed this yummy Latino man thrusting his crotch in the air to rhythmic beats. But after gaining my composure, I thought about Youtube. Thanks Youtube, you saved my Tv's life

So here's the clip that I missed, and I have watched it several times, all the time feeling like a pervo watching a young woman riding a horse. I swear, Besides my hubby, of course, Pitbull is the only man that makes me feel like that. Daaaaaaaleeeeee!!!!!
