Best thing I've seen on Youtube to date

I love a few things about this:

• The title (you have to actually click on the video to watch it from youtube's site to see the title)
  
• Everyone seems to be extremely wasted yet it looks like this video takes place in the daytime in some kind of non-bar parking lot.
  
• The gay guy lost his weave.

Happy Monday

It's almost over and it's still dreary and gross out but.....

I'm listening the Cabaret Broadway cast recording (Alan Cumming-Natasha Richardson cast) and all I want to do is burst into song.

I LOVE A CABBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAARRRRRRREEEEEEEEEET (ps silent t--those crazy french).

I don't advertise but I kind of secretly love musical theater.

I want the whole rainbow.

When I was younger and used to imagine my wedding I was sure of two things:

1. I wanted to walk down the aisle to Kenny G playing his "The Wedding Song" live.
   
2. My bridesmaids would each wear a different color of the spectrum and would walk down the aisle to the themes from Jurassic Park and The Bodyguard.
   

This was also a time in my life when I was obsessed with all Disney cartoon musical songs. (Yes I still know the words to most Disney songs recorded from 1989 to probably 1996.

I've always loved bright colors. For forever all I wanted as a middle schooler was a really awesome bright comforter and sheets for my bed. My mother insisted on only buying me the ugliest floral print nightmares imaginable and I went to bed for most of the 90s smothered in huge rose blossoms. But finally college came and I had to get all new everything and I ordered the most beautiful red and blue and green and yellow and orange kind-of-big-print-plaid comforter and bright orange t-shirt sheets. I had the most awesome bottom bunk ever.

Why all the talk of my love of bright colors? Well today I saw this:



It's the Empire State Building's lighting schedule and I'd like to point out April 25-27.

That's how you know you're a star.

So of course my first though after seeing this was, "Pink, purple and white? Gross."

My second though was, "What would MY colors be?"

The jury's still out but I'm veering towards just lighting the whole building up Roy G. Biv style.

Hey guess what?

I'm drinking my first iced coffee of the season.

(Please excuse my kind of man-ish looking hand. Bad angle.)

And I have a huge life-affecting zit on the corner of my mouth perilously close to my bottom lip and it's giving me a slight "does she have lip herpes" look. I was 15 minutes late trying to leave the house because I haven't actually DEALT with a mammoth zit like this since I was like 14 and I have forgotten how to pop pimples like a civilized woman and NOT in a way that makes my whole chin flare up which is what I ended up doing this morning and was NOT able to correct.

Gotta love a run-on sentence.

Also--remember how I posted about Outback's cheese fries and how they are so bad for you?

Well.....two Sundays or so ago, my roommate, my boyfriend and myself were sitting in our usual spots in the living room watching TV. We were hungry and someone (maybe me?) threw out the possibility of maybe taking a cab up to 23rd and 6th Avenue for a little lunch at Outback. I may have mentioned how delicious the fries looked so before we even got there we knew we wanted those fries and of course--the Bloomin' Onion.



We ended up spending $100. To make the purchase feel justified we took the subway home.

Later that night we ordered fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes, macaroni and creamed spinach from Birdie's, an amazing little Southern food place on 1st Avenue and 14th Street.

The moral of this story is that I have a very hard time staying on a diet.

Please excuse the quality of the pics. I only had my phone and between you, me, and the keyboard, 1.5 megapixels looks like SHIT.

Just what I've been looking for

If you put a link in your Gchat status message I will click on it.

Thank you Allison for introducing me to this.

LOVE the sizes.

Buy here.


And never forget to enjoy the before and after photo.

I was thinking of getting some new jewelry

This is what a 101 carat diamond looks like.

I mean I don't really need anything over 70 carats but I SUPPOSE this will do.

God, tiaras can just be so TACKY right?

PS: I have pictures and fun stories from a party I had on my roof last weekend. Stay tuned.

When you shop at teen web stores....

Last week I ordered this dress from Delia's.

I don't need it and I hate buying things online because you can't try them on, but it's so cute and me that I had to have it.

I also haven't shopped at Delia's since I was maybe 19. I thought it was the coolest store around because you could only get their stuff from the catalogue. And I was INTO catalogues. But then they opened a store at the Mall of Georgia and whenever I went there it was full of trendy 8th graders.

So I left Delia's in the past, right alongside 5-7-9 and Merry Go Round. I was turning into a real woman and stores that once made me vomit (Banana Republic, JCrew) became my new havens.

But then I saw this dress and had to have it and no one except me and you need to know it was bought on clearance from a store who's average customer age is 14.

The dress came today in the mail to my office. I ripped it open to try it on and included with my dress were:

• free samples of Clearasil
• coupons for ProActiv
• a booklet about Benzaclin
• a booklet about the Yaz, everyone's fav birth control pill
• coupons for Frito-Lay chips

Oh to be a teen again.

Stop giving Pro-Choicers a bad name

First, read this. Warning--it's something else.

Is this bitch for real? I mean, I am completely pro-choice. But purposely inducing miscarriages several times? I'm not okay with that. Miscarriages and abortions are probably two of the worst physical experiences a woman can go through and this girl is basically making a mockery of that.

For art? That's what this is? Art? It's people like this who give pro-choicers a bad name. I'm all about making art happen and encouraging creativity, but.....this girl makes me feel like the people who make collectible baby dolls make me feel.

Do you know they have baby dolls that breath now? Lifelike dolls that breathe.

For the record, if you show up at someone's house and they have one or more of these life like babies--RUN THE OTHER WAY.




*UPDATE*

It was all a joke. How incredibly hilarious.

I just found an awesome new site

And it's for girls who LOVE CUTE OUTFITS!!!


http://outfitkit.ecrater.com/


I'm in the middle of a work project but you should check out this site and see what you think--whole outfits for under $60. And its CUTE STUFF!!!


Thanks to Stacy!!

Another problem with being famous

I never want to see a story about me on TMZ followed by comments like these



TV is coming back this week and of course I can't wait for Gossip Girl. But there were a few reality shows that quenched my TV thirst during the writer's strike. The networks took GG and Heroes and Grey's Anatomy from me. But in turn I learned to love:
The Bachelor: London Calling

I've never been into the Bachelor before. The last time I watched, it was 2001 and Andrew Firestone was making it happen. My friend Christos is really into it though and convinced me that it was worth watching. Monday night was for The Bachelor and The Hills. The Bachelor hooked me. The Hills still makes me vomit. I think there are only two more episodes of The Bachelor left so get while the getting's good. I have never seen a cast of more pathetic women and I love sharing in their miseries. If you go on a show to meet a man, I'm sorry--you will be made fun of. The bachelor himself is a Brit named Matt and he's looking for an American lady/Green Card Maker to take home for tea and scones. At first I thought he was charming. It's now been about 5 episodes and I think he's a complete freakshow who is fat but hides it well under his clothes. The girls are the best though and Shayne is my hands-down fav. She's 22 and "hates seeing Matt with the other girls." She is an actress and comes from a family of actors. Maybe you've heard of her dad: LORENZO LAMAS.


He's going to be on the episode on Monday so NEVER MISS IT.


There are two other shows that I am currently obsessed with but don't have the time to write my comments so you should google them:

The Real Housewives of New York

and

Keeping Up The Kardashians

Khloe Kardashian is my idol.

Favorite Friday thing I saw online

Technically I'm working on a casting spreadsheet for a tv pilot for my work.

But actually I keep randomly clicking on Yahoo and that's how I found this.

1. I want it.
2. I can't eat it anymore because somehow my body isn't staying as skinny as it used to so I have to eat vegetables now and can never step foot into a McDonalds again. Oh, and no more extra sour cream. That's the worst of it I think. Because this bitch LOVES her extra side of sour cream. In fact I could be really okay with getting a side of sour cream with The Worst Food In America.
   

Spring is here!!

Kind of. I saw that it might get cold again next week but for today and tomorrow--BLISSFULLY BEAUTIFUL MILD SUNSHINE!!!! I'm wearing a dress today--bare-legged!!!!

I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping up with this blog the way I should. I have big plans for the new brandycrawford.com and hopefully they will be heading your way by mid-May. I know--it's SO HARD to wait for content that's not just funny videos and crazy pics. But I promise more real writing is to come.

Also---here's my window in my new office and I LOVE IT.

Aren't the bowels of midtown West just beautiful?

I get all my groundbreaking news from Yahoo

I love this

I also love lemons.

Thank you God for smiling on me

Guess what?

They are PERFORMING. That's right. Singing my favorite hits--a little "Please Don't Go Girl" and "Hangin' Tough" and of course MY FAV--"The Right Stuff"

I CAN'T EVEN WAIT.

April Fools!

Here's my one April Fools joke.

Before reading my IM conversation with Christos you need to know a few things about him.

1. Christos LOVES The Hills.
2. Christos is OBSESSED with The Hills.
3. The Hills IS Christos's life.
4. Christos HATES Heidi Montag
   

After this I waited a few minutes and figured that Christos was spreading the news like wildfire. And then:
