Instantly, I started to walk a little differently, and accentuate my bootylicious assets as much as possible.

I am not alone – all of us women spend our entire life trying to propel our best arse forward, and will often spend way too much money on jeans in order to make it closer to a reality.

Now, one may wonder why, in a beauty blog, I am speaking of jeans…but I maintain, a good pair of jeans is intrinsic to feeling beautiful!

And thus, why I am obsessed with Joe’s Jeans – their Honey Mulholland cut is everything I love: all-over deep dark color and a classic boot cut. They are great for dressing up or for a casual day at the coffee house. And, most importantly, they make my butt look great. This is accomplished by subtle bronze stitching on front and back which matches the rivets and buttons. The back pockets are embroidered and have outlined stitching making them stand out from the rest of the jean. It’s brilliant craftsmanship that even NASA would be proud to call their own.

As this is the season of giving, I want to give the greatest gift of all to my readers: a great ass. And thus, I will offer it in the same way it was bestowed upon me – a pair of Joe’s Jeans. Three readers will receive the pair of their choice (and that also goes for men’s or kid’s styles if you prefer). Whether you have traits you are trying to accentuate or diminish, there will be a style for you! Check out all the styles at www.joesjeans.com/shop/home.php

To have your chance to win – tell me your sexiest asset, and how you maintain it!

Deadline is December 19!

It was a great show tonight – the tables were turned a little – it was nice to see.  How sweet was Ricky?   Chris talking to himself (”like a crackhead” – ROFL – you should hear me during the days), and what a doll Rami was when he was a child.  And Jillian and Victorya at the end – loved it.    No one seemed terribly sad to see her go, did they?   I know I wasn’t.   And it seems like Michael Kors has mentioned hookers on every show, no?  Too funny, I love this show – I think its the best show on TV, hands down.  I hope you’re enjoying it too. 

Still sad that Jack got sick – he makes me smile every time I watch the opening (”I’m in – they’re OUT”).  What a cutiepie.  *muah*

I wonder if my buddy Deb at our newest blog, The List Maven, makes lists like I do about who is going to make it to Fashion Week.  Probably not.  LOL  Here is my current prediction about the order of *auf:*

6.  Sweet Pea

5.  Chris

4.  Ricky

3.  Jillian (if she doesn’t make any more marshmallow clothes)

2.  Rami

1.  Christian

There is something I really like about each of the folks left now.  Whether it be their awesome talent or their charming (quirky?) personality or their good looks (lol, Rami, duh) – it will be sad to see anyone else go, but it’s always fun to guess – what’s your guess?

So, what do you think about Mrs. Cruise last night? I think her head is adorable – love the haircut, makeup – soooo pretty. That dress? I wish I had owned it when it was time for my Latin Club’s annual toga party. Unflattering and matronly, just like a toga should be.

So Jack is ill and everyone is crying – tick tock – whats the story? He is a doll, I hope he isn’t too sick.

***

Ok, so OMG – I just did a little poking around the internet, and Ill be damned if he doesn’t have…

(this is a spoiler, so I’ll talk more about this after the jump)

MRSA. Unbelievable. Unbelievable how this is touching our lives everywhere we turn. I haven’t rattled on too much about it lately, but my hubby had an MRSA infection in his spinal column 3 years ago, and was on life support for 2 weeks, and in the hospital for a month. Thank God he is doing wonderfully today. And we know from the gossip rags that Jack is doing well too – or sure appears to be having the time of his life – so big hugs to him. Lord only knows what he has been through. I would suspect that he will be leaving the show tonight, with his HIV+ status, and the potential that MRSA has to absolutely bring you down, there is no way he could continue with the stress that competition must put on your body. I sure hope he leaves anyway. And darn it, I just about had him to win. Poor guy.

If you need resources on MRSA, we run (with a great deal of help of a few AMAZING people) a wonderful forum at http://forum.mrsaresources.com, as well as a good many other things to read and pour over at http://www.mrsaresources.com, and my hubbys full story is at http://www.mrsastory.com. Keep your immune system in good health, and wash your hands obsessive/compulsively, for goodness sake. Basic hygiene and a strong body has never been so important as it is these days.

Ok so I am too surprised to go on about PR anymore, but by George, I will be watching – now 45 min and counting! Enjoy!

(Thanks BPR and Gratz for the info!)

One thing that has been on my mind, but I didn’t get in last week – Did you check out Ali Larter’s hair? She did it herself, styling it with Dove products. What did you think? Me? Welllllllllllll, I won’t blame the products – Dove is a wonderful company with great hair products, but I think she could have used a hairdresser for some help with technique. There, I said it. I hate to be mean, but this is the Emmy’s after all, not a dinner out with the boyfriend.
