Disney Hipsters. Pass Me My Warby Parkers and Hounds Tooth Scarf

This post is in honor of my trip to the west coast hipster capital - Portland, OR.

Hipsters may have been born and bred in Williamsburg (FYI - I totally lived in Brooklyn before it was cool) but they have infiltrated the Disney characters as well. I loves me some good snark and this makes me want to hit up warbyparker.com and try on some glasses with my webcam (on my Mac of course).

Check out the rest of the line-up on Tumblr. What's Tumblr you ask? You've probably never heard of it.

Those College Kids are Crazy

Where I would have been nursing one mother of a hangover or deciding what class to skip-- Emerson College students spent a Fall afternoon putting together a Lady Gaga medley on the streets of Boston.

Looks like every student showed up and the result, well, see for yourself.

If you are a fool for the 80's like I am then I know you watched, and loved, Pee Wee's Playhouse. Does it matter that I was a teenager and enjoyed it? Pish posh and hell no. Pee Wee was an icon in my house and watched every Saturday.

Now I understand that Pee Wee fell onto some hard times and had some kind of altercation in a theater- let's keep the details to ourselves. To each his own right Mr. Wee? I never stopped liking him and hoped that one day he would have a triumphant return. Well that day is now!


Click below to get the details on Pee Wee live on Broadway where you can see Pee Wee, Captain Carl, Jambi the Genie, Miss Yvonne, Pterri the Pterodactyl , Chairy and Clocky.
Davina and I watched Pee Wee's Big Adventure so many times that I swear if you asked us to recite it right now we could-word for word.

Long Live Pee Wee

Smell Like a Monster? But of Course!

I have avoided Barney. The Thomas obsession seems to have faded. And it was only recently that Elmo made a surprising comeback after being discarded for Blues Clues (the Joe episodes... not that other guy).

If you must watch a show over and over and over, let it be something decent. Case in point, Grover's new parody for the Old Spice ads.

1986 Vs 2010 Technology

In honor of the new Shuffle, Touch, and Nano design released by Apple yesterday, I thought I would showcase how far we have come.

Heading to the beach? No worries, pack your portable device of choice:

2010

New Nano design with touch screen

1986

Cardboard for spontaneous break dancing not included

The Inapropriate ABC's and 123's

My mother-in-law saves everything. She recently brought over all of my husband's old children's books for Grayson and Quentin to "enjoy". As I flipped through them, I realized that there was a reason some of these books were no longer in print.

The heartwarming story of Bill the chain smoking cabbie.
Reach for the stars kids.

Laurie, Rusty, Patches, and Teddy are waiting...
but where is the child's parent?
Inside smoking with the cabbie of course.

Because nothing says we respect our native culture
like an Indian eating an ice cream cone

The tall clown smoking a fatty? That's Tiny.
Let me know if you need his beeper number.

The Circus is in Town! Oh no, wait - It's just the new JCrew catalog

Fashion Friday faux pas -

Remember when JCrew was cool? Apparently they have just gone and lost their minds.

Visual proof below....

"Hang on, let me just get my glitter sweat pants on." 

In the name of the father and the son...
and the skinny tie.

"Sorry I'm late. The lights in my house didn't work
and I just threw together an outfit in the dark.
Is the whistle on the purse too much?"

A tribute to my budget busting husband

Thanks to Lizzie for sharing this with me. If I did'nt know better, i'd say my husband was the star of this. Goatee...check, Polo shirt...check...flip phone clip...check
So sad to admit.....

The Old Spice Guy Shows Alyssa Milano Who's the Boss

Old Spice found a clever way to make some noise by creating Web videos in response to comments and questions from fans on social media sites.

Old Spice guy shot more than 150 videos over three days. The videos include responses to celebrities and other social media influencers who asked questions via Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites.

The best is his exchange with Alyssa Milano

On Twitter, Alyssa_Milano wrote "GENIUS. Shirtless Old Spice guy replies on Twitter w/ hilarious personalized videos


On Twitter, Alyssa_Milano wrote "My coffee went up my nose. @oldspice guy made a video reply to my tweet!!
