Fashionably Late Fashion Friday

So I know it sounds completely ridiculous to spend so much money on a pair of jeans…But I DID finally spend more than I have ever spent before!!!!! I must admit that at first I was hesitant, but now I wear them all the time. I wore them in this picture (of course you can’t see them, but they are very nice). Now I am definitely not saying go blow a lot of money on a pair of jeans.

I was just saying I did and they are very nice. I usually buy my pants for $20.00 or less. I found one pair for $9.00 that I wear. Now that is a bargin!

Jeans are an everyday part of life for a teenager like me. I wear them when I go to school, go out with friends, or even to chill at a friend’s house. I love my jeans. And you should too.

Skinny jeans seem to be the fashion craze for those “scene” kids (scene kids are the teens who were their hair black and their eyeliner thick and listen to music about hurting themselves and never being able to love again).

Personally I love the skinny jean. They go well with a pair of UGGs or a nice flat.

Bell bottoms from the 70’s are still hot today. Every girl has them and every girl loves them.

Straight jeans (not skinny, skinny jeans stick you your legs while these just fall to the floor at one angle) are also coming back.

BUT MOM JEANS WILL NEVER BE IN STYLE!!!!!!!

Peace out!!!

Some South Beach Heat to chase away the winter chill

MoonThis good morning hunk was inspired by Rita, a special fan from South Africa! He was also the inspiration for the were-jaguar in MOON FEVER (Oct 2007).

But on a different note — What keeps you warm on those cold winter nights? A blazing fire in the fireplace, some wine, a good book and an even better man?

Tori definitely has the right idea about how to stay warm in this deleted scene from SEX AND THE SOUTH BEACH CHICAS.

In the meantime, why don’t you let me know what keeps you hot . . . I mean warm . . . To help you along, here’s some South Beach Heat to chase away the winter chill that has gripped so many of us.

Writer’s Digest 101 Best Web Sites for Writers

You wrote about me on your blog?!*@#

I was up in my office, typing away on my laptop. My husband came into my office, plopped into the recliner he’s moved into the corner and asked, “Are you working or playing on the website again?”

(Why is hubby’s recliner in my office you may ask? The immense flat screen TV hubby got for me last Christmas.)

I happened to be working on the blog, so I said, “I’m writing a blog entry.”

With a grin, he asked, “What do you write about? Me?”

So of course I freaked him out by saying yes and got the following look:
