hot.

i would def. rock this..sans the gloves, and maybe some different shoes.

back in the day.

happy birthday.

irony?

reese = peggy lee?

so..sites are reporting that Reese Witherspoon is in the beginning stages of creating another musician biopic. after winning an Oscar in 2005 for portraying June Carter in "Walk the Line," Reese is making things happen to create an (as-of-now) untitled film. while there are still negotiations being made for her to star in it, she is producing the Fox 2000 project with Marc Platt. Reese brought the project to the studio after securing the rights to Peggy's life from the Lee estate. Platt produced "Legally Blonde"; and writer-director Nora Ephron (who is a major fan of Lee's music) is also on board with the project. Ephron last wrote and directed "Julie & Julia."

if you haven't heard about Peggy Lee before, you should really do a little research on her and her music. i love Peggy Lee. she got her start in the 40s singing with Benny Goodman's band. she earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her role in the 1955 musical "Pete Kelly's Blues" and did some songwriting and voice-over work for Disney's "Lady and the Tramp." some of her songs/work include Why Don't You Do Right (my personal fave), Mañana, Fever, and Big Spender.

I didn't see "Walk the Line" but I'm pretty sure I will definitely be checking THIS movie out.

reminiscing.

so, the bf and i were talking the other day about shows we watched as kids. i LOVED the shows that came on back then. i wish they had more shows like that instead of all this nonsense that substitues for children's cartoons nowadays.

joy.

i got these jeans last week [from old navy]...and let me tell u, there are few things that bring me such joy as finding a pair of jeans that are actually LONG ENOUGH. i feel like i don't have nearly enough jeans in my closet because i simply can not find any that aren't flood pants on me...or won't become flood pants after a few rounds in the washer and dryer. i LOVE the option of "long" jeans. there are some brands out there that might label their longer pants as "long", but in actuality they're not really "long" at all..more like regular. i think they do this to make the short girls feel like they're actually taller than they are..no offense to the "vertically challenged" people out there. i always have a difficult time because of my size. i'm not exactly skinny, but i am slender..or thin..or slim, whichever u prefer. and no, i'm not a size 0 or 1 as some crazy people ask; i have some hips.

this post is me giving my thanks to the lines that actually carry long jeans. THANK YOU for considering the girls with longer than a 31" inseam.

funny girl.

in the September issue of HARPER'S BAZAAR, Jennifer Aniston pays homage to Barbra Streisand and transforms into her "funny girl" character -- using wigs, great make-up, and some reeeallly long nails. the results are great! i've actually seen "funny girl" and the stylists and make-up artists really hit the nail on the head. i wonder what jen's impression of barbra would sound like..hmm.

check out more pics from the shoot here.
