I was recently cruising the old blog spot.com and I started to realize something about most all blogs. I realized that everyone is writing about things they like of dislike, hobbies, favorite movies, foods, and which family members they secretly find attractive(I will assume this blog is from the southern states). I found myself reading through my posts and thought "Good golly!" I am so sorry to my readers(all 2 of them) that they are reading a blog and not even beggining to see what Annie up is really all about! So I would like to take this time to blog about my guilty pleasures so the American people can finally have a glimpse at my soul. Who knows maybe we will find that we have things in common, and maybe if I were looking we would realize we are in fact...dare I say it?...SOUL MATES!Well first and formost I love "CHICKLIT". To help you non girls out there "CHICKLIT" are Novels out there for the female sex to read. These books contain high profile characters who usually lead fantasy lives. Ex: In Candace Bushnell's new book Trading Up, we follow the glamorous life of Janey Wilcox a Victoria Secret model trying to marry the right millionare and try to live a life in the upper east side of Manhattan walking around in $50,000 pearls and Burberry boots. I am sure you can see why this is so fabulous for most people. However for the big sicks in the world I will also have you know that there are some....sexual scenes. Yes "CHICKLIT" is full of little fantasy scenes that are juicy enough to call for a cold shower after the chapter ends. So "CHICKLIT" we salute you, your hot scenes, and excellent taste in designer fashion.
Now speaking of designer fashion I do have a guilty shoe pleasure. Sprouting from this addiction I have almost entirely given up going to the animal shelter and letting the dogs out of their cages. I now find my way to the closest Designer Shoe Warehouse and give the shoes the chance to get out of the box and go for a stroll down the catwalk most call the aisle. I am very happy that I have such a kind heart because everyonce in a while I will even take a few pairs home and let them sleep in my nice cozy cedar chest.(yes my shoes sleep in cedar, don't judge them because they are beautiful) I will even let my pride down and say I tear up when ever I enter the old DSW. Thank you designer shoes for always looking fabulous no matter how uncomfortable you may be!
Earlier on I mentioned Candace Bushnell now this is a guilty pleasure genius for she created the most fantastic book that turned into the most fantastic series! We must give her a pat on the back for giving us Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Charlotte York, and Miranda Hobbs. These are my girls from Sex and the City. Oh how much I love that show! Where else can I dream that a writer really could afford a nice apartment and have $40,000 worth of Manolo Blahnik shoes? I have to thank you Sex and the City for giving me much needed advice in fashion, sex, and men. And congratulations on being almost as fabulous as The Golden Girls!
Oh The Golden Girls... When a stranger asks me in passing on the streets,"What would you like to be when you grow up young lady?" I easily reply,"Well kind sir, I would love to be the perfect blend of Dorthy Zbornack, Sophia Patrillo, Rose Nylen, and Blanche Devereaux." The most beauticul cocktail of older ladies I know are The Golden Girls. They teach me such wonderful life lessons and wonderful things like great combacks! In season 3 the girls sing about Miami and how stylish it is to live there, well I say Golden Girls, Golden Girls you've got style! Grey hairs, age spots and wrinkls by the mile! Oh I cannot wait to be old so lets all go to the tanning bed to help get us to that golden age faster!
Now my last guilty pleasure is possible because of one very good man friend of mine. My newest guilty pleasure is listening to the arm chilling, relaxing, smooth as butter vocals, and earth rotating lyrics of Lyle Lovett. If you are reading this and have never heard Lyle before, I recommend you buy a cd and let him serinade you immediatly! Your well being is at stake here people! So thank you HB for introducing me to my new friend Lyle, if I had a boat I'd take you HB on the ocean and if I had a pony I's let you ride it on my boat. And to you Lyle... thank you we "Lovett"!
