Last week, we started a little game of Glam Tag! India-Jewel told us 10 things we should know about her super stylish self. She then tagged and challenged me to share my secrets! Well, here you go…
10 RANDOM Things You Ought to Know About Me
Cupcakes are the way to a girl’s heart… xoxo
1- I can’t get enough ketchup. If I order a burger and fries, you better ask for a second bottle. Seriously, I can down an entire Heinz 14-ouncer in one sitting.
2- I love the suburbs. Though I play the part of a big-time city party gal pretty convincingly, I miss the quiet, comfort, and cleanliness of the suburbs. (Lucky for me, my parents live on Long Island… Just a train ride away!)
3- I rarely wear heels. I can’t bring myself to endure the pain and suffering that accompanies stilettos! I’m all about fun flip-flops, flats and funky boots!
4- One time I did karaoke with Dina Lohan… Okay, not with Dina Lohan… but she was at the same dive karaoke bar as me. Close enough.
5- I’m kinda sorta obsessed with Reese Witherspoon. (And I realize I’m seemingly “obsessed” with lots of celebrities… but Reese is next level for me. I think Ryan Phillipe is a fool. She is the total package. (Girl Crush!)
6- I’m a sucker for beach reads. Any book about a “young woman who moves to NYC, becomes a publicist and/or gossip columnist, parties it up with backstabbing socialites, and falls madly in love with a handsome-kind-hearted-trust-fund-having-Prince Charming” has my approval. Talk about life imitating art (minus that last part…)
7- I consider myself a cupcake connoisseur. Two words: Buttercup Café…. (It’s as good as Magnolia minus the mega long lines!)
8- When I was five-years-old, I was on an HBO special called Live from Planet Earth. Okay, fine… I was supposed to be on it! At the last second, I chickened out, cried hysterically, refused to leave my mom’s side in the green room, and ate lots of candy instead.*
9- Sometimes I get jealous of my puppy. I love her dearly… but I get irrationally envious of her naturally blond hair and effortless panache. (See pic below.)**
10- My first celebrity crush was Michael Keaton.
*Many years later, I was “punked” on the MTV non-celebrity hidden camera show, Boiling Point. However, I chickened out then too, and refused to sign the release form… so I’ve yet to have my 15 minutes of fame! I guess some people were meant to be celebrities… Others were meant to stalk them.
**Oh, and in case you’re wondering… This is my seriously sassy dog, Brandi:

Lauren

I wish I was lucky enough to karaoke with Dina…however - I did see Furio from the Soprano’s on the street over the weekend. Is it almost the same?
laurenb | 03-Apr-07 at 7:58 am | Permalink
No… it’s not almost the same. But kudos to you for recognizing him! I wouldn’t have been able to ID a Sopranos supporting cast member. FYI people… if you spy celebs out and about POST a quick comment on GlamScene right away!… and I’ll follow up with as many deets as I can get my greedy little hands on… xoxo

[…] As I mentioned in my 10 RANDOM Things You Ought to Know About Me post, I thoroughly and whole-heartedly LOVE girlie girl beach reads. You can spot these novels a mile away at Barnes & Noble… (The covers usually feature a stylish, skinny, and sassy cartoon woman standing on a red carpet or browsing a chichi boutique.) And the predictable plots often center around the lives of the enviably beautiful, rich, and famous! […]
