Do you blog?
 
Blogging has become so big...I remember about 5 or 6 years ago I had friends who kept online journals and I thought it was cool so I tried to do it and, as usual, couldn't keep it up...then I start seeing Pink Is The New Blog (my personal favorite) and Towleroad popping up and blogging has taken over in so many ways...do you blog? why or why not?

maybe I should give it another try...

Neal 10-25-2005 01:25 PM

I've never done it. Mostly because I know I wouldn't keep it up, and because absolutely nothing exciting ever happens to me. That being the case, I know it wouldn't be very interesting for anyone else to read and I certainly wouldn't want to go back and relive my mundane existence. :wavey:

What did I tell you about looking down on yourself! :laugh:

I care. Blog!

I've read a few, some can be very interesting, others, I'd rather fold laundry than read.:nod:

so true.

there is one blog of a guy in Tiawan, I believe, who is apparently rich off his ass and has a fondness for dropping $13K on a Birkin bag...wears women's clothes daily and has no problem posting the receipts from his LV, Prada and Gucci shopping sprees. Makes me want to puke - I wish I could remember the name or address...I kinda feel bad for him; he just looks so ridiculous.

$13,000? I saw a Birkin bag on Gilmore Girls, Rory got one from her BF and her grandmother was all over it. Are they really that much? They must have paid a pretty penny for their product placement. (No that alliteration was not intentional but I love it!)

they really are that much. I know that in some instances you have to even be put on a list. I love them, but there's no way I'm shelling that out. The most I've paid is $200 for a Prada messenger and $450 on a Gucci.

There are even Birkin bags out there that retail for almost $32,000.

I use my messenger bag every day, not sure I'd wear the Choo or Manolo's every day - ha. Although, when I was in NYC last year, the guy salesmen in Dolce & Gabbana had on stilletos.

I thought you might like that. ;)

D&G stilettos? Too great. I love randomness such as this. And to answer your question about blogs, I do not blog. I find them awfully yawn inducing. But hey...if it helps people express themselves...what's the harm?

me too - unless they have good pictures (how childish is that?!)

although, if you liked the book The Trouble Boy, then you'll love reading the blog, Shades of Gray. he talks about his quest for that ultimate partner and it is very good reading - short, sweet and leaves you thinking about your own life experiences.

I don't because I don't know where to go to even read someone else's blog, plus, who wants to read about: got up @ 5am. Went to work. Same **** there. Picked kid up from sitter. Fixed dinner. Helped w/homework. Read a bedtime story. Sat on the Ledge. Went to bed.

Every damn day.... day after day after day????

Crap, I'm Joan Crawford, too. I really don't like her.

"You are one tough dame, as tough as they come. You've had to fight long and hard to get where you are, but you always knew you'd do whatever you had to do to get ahead. You aren't above committing crimes (or seducing others to do them for you) to get what you want. You want to be happy and comfortable, but you usually always manage to get the fuzzy end of the lollipop. Even your kids are usually against you. Your leading men include anyone you set your sights on, even married guys that are never seen on-screen. Watch your back."

I'm also John Wayne:

" You, my friend, are a man's man, the original true grit, one tough talking, swaggering son of a bitch. You're not a bad guy, on the contrary, you're the ultimate good guy, but you're one tough character, rough and tumble, ready for anything. You call the shots and go your own way, and if some screwy dame is willing to accept your terms, that's just fine by you. Otherwise, you'll just hit the open trail and stay true to yourself. You stand up for what you believe and can handle any situation, usually by rushing into the thick of the action. You're not polished and you're not overly warm, but you're a straight shooter and a real stand up guy. Co-stars include Lauren Bacall and Maureen O'Hara, tough broads who can take care of themselves."

One would think that would be in the Marilyn Monroe result.

You are class itself, the calm, confident "perfect woman." Men turn and look at you admiringly as you walk down the street, and even your rivals have a grudging respect for you. You always know the right thing to say, do and, of course, wear. You can take charge of a situation when things get out of hand, and you're a great help to your partner even if they don't immediately see or know it. You are one classy dame. Your screen partners include William Powell and Cary Grant, you little simmerpot, you.




This woman looks like me.:shocked: Sadly I have not seen that many classic movies so I'm not familiar with her!

You scored 47% grit, 14% wit, 47% flair, and 4% class!

You're a tough dame, a bit of a spitfire, and you can even be a little
dangerous, but you do it with such flair that almost all is forgiven
(and even when it's not, you're still the most interesting woman in the
room). You can be witty and charming, all right, but you have a tough
streak that keeps you focused and sometimes deadly. You've had quite a
climb to get where you are, but you're a hard worker and you mostly
deserve all you get...and then some. You might end up destroying
everything around you, but you must admit...you've got style. Your
leading men include Henry Fonda, Fred MacMurray, and when you forget
yourself, Gary Cooper.
