Sister from another Mister

Can you tell these two apart?

and:

One is Wendy Williams. One is Tori Spelling.  Can you tell who is who?

Be careful what you wish for

When it comes to my looks, I am a youth-o-phile. (Dum made that up)  I put a lot of effort into looking younger.  Peels, creams, injections, surgeries....you've heard it all before.   Well, I was checking out my pre-teen photos and I have to say.  Holy shit NO!  I would never wish my teen self on me.  This is now:

This was the situation at ages 10, 11, and 12:

As a pre-teen all I wanted was to be a grown up.  Now I will try to remember that looking like a teen isn't always something to strive for.

Love,
Katie
(I would still rock those sweaters though.  Who doesn't love a good monogram?):

Five dolla extra...you pay now

This was the graffiti outside of the Crosby Hotel in Soho.  This cranky little effer needs some love.  Love stories can indeed suck, and although there are truly few of them....everybody wants a happy ending.  Well, at least at the Thai massage joint.

Love,
Katie

WTF Wednesdays

I know she's wearing a mess of a wig and it makes her look bat-shit crazy, but today lets focus on her eyes.

Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

How do they blink?

Babyl-yawn

David Gray, SHAME ON YOU! You did NOT license the track "This Year's Love" for Shemp's show.

I will never be able to listen to that goat-assed voice again without thinking of Shemp's hair do and butt-head speech patterns.

Another thing, did Shemp always take Courtney on picnics?  What a drag.

And lastly, why does Shemp look like he's sucking lemons through a hose when he kisses?

Gross.

Love,

The Help is not helping

I have a history of hiring not super great cleaning ladies.  And also not firing them when they aren't so great.  I go with my heart, and that is where I get stuck.  With a dirty house.  Danuta was 105 years old and cleaned our house with a rag and a bucket of water for three years.  Most of the time she wore only her panty hose and a t shirt.  To my husbands horror.  It ended when she had a smack down with the babysitter.  So complicated.  Today when my cleaning lady left I had to send some pics to the dums.

She doesn't dust the dining room.

Or the mantle.  She doesn't dust.

There are two books, a sock and a Polly Pocket handbag under the ottoman.  And you can't see this but lots of cheerios.

I have held on because she does the laundry but it is always wrinkled and nothing is put away in the right place.  How is my plaid button up doing with the fox stole tucked in?

The stove is dirty.  The floor is dirty.  The appliances are dirty.  She's never even touched the playroom.  And after two years, I fired her today.  I guess you could say I'm cleaning house.

Love,
Kristen

The Cure-all on Canon Drive

With the summer-like weather we have been having, I checked into The Montage Beverly Hills.  The folks on the staff were gorgeous, efficient and helpful.  After popping into the 1,100 square foot, beautifully appointed Deluxe Suite, I went immediately to the pool.

85 degrees, sunny and absolutely stunning.   They have some delicious light fare poolside as well:

After a perfect day in the sun, I freshened up, and went downstairs.  I was taken aback by the gorgeous flowers in the foyer:

If all of that fabulous-ness isn't enough to knock your socks off, go to the bar and have one of these:

The Montage is stellar.  Well done to Chris Olthoff and his amazing team.  Having been a patron to the Laguna location, I was delighted to have the full Montage experience in Beverly Hills.  This is a MUST stay if you are visiting L.A..  And, if you live in L.A., you should still go in for a night just because or visit their spa to "get away".  The only bad part of this dream was having to leave.

I love you Montage.

Love,

Katie

p.s. Just because Tiffany referenced my outfit in the comments of a previous post.
I'm going to post it. (I think it looks a bit like one of the skanks on the Bachelor)
