I’m legitimately swooning at these eyebrows. Goes to show Sally Draper is just about the coolest girl around.

nice try, anthro

Fun fact: If I’m going to spend $2,100 dollars on a mirror, I want to look perpetually like I have no weight to lose in its reflection, not a set of CDs that were covered in spray paint.

saturday’s

Do you think she got this flower from this guy before or after he posted, “Saturday’s are for spending time with this chick” on his Instagram? Here’s hoping she can go in his phone and write “Saturday’s Saturdays” before dumping him immediately.

On a related note, what I wouldn’t GIVE for strikethrough on Insta!

There’s a whole lot of scholarship on the similarities between Ariel and Mary Magdalen — the red hair, the saucy feminine wiles, y’know, the usual — that Robert Langdon goes on and on about in The Da Vinci Code. What’s pretty great is Dan Brown messes up by identifying this as a Penitent Magdalen instead of one with a flame. Ay yai yai. Good thing I’m here for you, Dan!

I can’t speak for any of you, but I definitely gave a bigger heck about pulling a fork through my hair than identifying medieval symbolism when I watched The Little Mermaid.

put a ring on it

"The Ring (Engagement)," by Roy Lichtenstein, 1962.

Roy Lichtenstein’s “The Ring (Engagement)” is going up for auction in May. It’s apparently going to go for $50 million. It was on display in LA earlier this week, y’know, so you can get up close and personal with a fifty million dollar object. I call that my weekends, but whatev.

pin up, up, and away

pin up

Yes to everything about this look. The dunes, the strappy sandal, that happy dog?! He’s about to absolutely devour that hat, but look at that JOY!

keeping up with $100 million, part 2

So, remember when I said I’d tell you all the things that $100 million could buy you besides another four seasons of KUWTK? Well, I’m delivering as promised, but I’m just a little late (ask my frenz — I’m always late to just about everything).

You could buy a Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain. Cost: $89 million in 1997

walking man

You could beat out the guy who purchased Alberto Giacometti’s “Walking Man I” for $104 million. (I’m gonna say if you’re spending a hundred million, what’s another four?)

keeping up with $100 million, part 1

So I’m just trying to get this straight: E! renewed Keeping Up with the Kardashians for ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. This week, I’m going to go ahead and tell you what one hundred million dollars can buy. You could purchase:

marilyn monroe dress

ONE HUNDRED Marilyn Monroe “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dresses, or…sunflowers

this Vincent van Gogh Sunflowers painting, (pssst: you’d still have $16.8 MILLION left over!), or…

Badminton-Cabinet

nearly 3 (!!!) of these Badminton Cabinets that went for $36 MILLION in 2004.

I don’t know, but ALL of these sound right up Ryan Seacrest’s alley….amiright?

How much more seriously would take household chores if you could bring back this effortless kerchief look? Or those psychedelic bubbles?! I KNOW I WOULD.

scar stories

chair2

I have two scar stories. The first one’s about how some guy in second grade pushed me in a rose bush and said that was his way of dumping me (He’s a cop now — talk about atonement, good sir!). The second one’s from high school, when I covered a desk chair with broken coffee mugs (my mom was pissed, btw).

When my art teacher told me to rework it during a critique, I was like, “Sure thing!” It was about a minute after ripping hot-glued shards of ceramic off plastic when I sliced my knuckle open. My art teacher was like, “You’ll be fine,” as blood pooled on the floor. A week later, the school nurse told me I should’ve gotten stitches.

So, kudos to Margarita Sampson, who is smart enough to create whimsical chair embellishments that won’t cause physical (OR EMOTIONAL) harm.
