Do, Dump, or Marry: The Glee boys

The rules: You have three choices of men of debatable equal caliber. Pick one to "do", one to "dump" and one to "marry". Must pick one and only one for each category, no cop-outs.

The hottie pool: The incredibly hot cast of Glee. (l-r) Cory Monteith as Finn, Matthew Morrison as Mr. Schuester, and Mark Salling as Puck. They're all sexy, they can all sing, it's a tough battle which may possibly only be able to be settled with a dance-off.


Do: Mark Salling. This picture does not do the abs justice. They are rock hard and there is at least a 6-pack going on. Plus he totally has the bad boy thing going on, and his character likes to bed cougars. Homeboy is probably dynamite in the sack.

Dump: Cory Monteith, though it kills me to have to "dump" any of the Glee boys. Sure Finn is hot and all, but if we're being honest with ourselves he's a little boring and doesn't do "I have so many emotions and can't decide between sports and singing" quite as well as Zac Efron. Plus, a 27-year-old playing a 17-year-old is not so sexy.

Marry: Matthew Morrison. Handsome, great smile, sexy body, and wholesome family man all rolled into one. He's the guy you can take home to mom, yet still can't wait to rip his clothes off. I'm also a total sucker for curly hair. Matthew definitely has the best singing voice and let's be honest, that's what really matters in a husband, right?

War is over

Just wanted to set the record straight, some people actually have heard of customer service. After my bitchy email, Costume Mates by Peter Alan sent me a new bodysuit which is proportioned much better. Thank you! So I'll just blame the assholes at Halloween Adventure for all these shenanigans, because I am still mad at them as a store.

Why does Halloween have to be so damn stressful?!?

He's so pretty


The cover art for Adam Lambert's upcoming debut album For Your Entertainment has been released, and quite frankly I hate it. I love me some Glambert, but this cover is some horrible concoction of Scissor Sisters meets Xanadu gone wrong. It also feels a little too airbrushed and not quite raw enough to capture the essence of Adam. Everything is just so glossy and perfect. I like a man who knows his way around a stick of eyeliner, but when a guy does his makeup better than I do that's a problem.

That being said, I wouldn't kick him out of bed. And I'm definitely looking forward to the musics!

It's WAR bitches!

The following is an actual email...the people and events you are about to read about are real.


Attn: Costume Mates, Inc. by Peter Alan

To whom it may concern:

I am deeply disappointed in my purchase of your "adult sized" longsleeve bodysuit (http://www.peter-alan.com/catalog.php?item=1700&catid=Bodywear). I recently purchased this item in black in a size Large for $15 at Halloween Adventure in Manhattan, though somewhat reluctantly after not being allowed to try it on or even view an out-of-package model. I chose your product because it was the only costume bodysuit I could find with a solid, non-snapping crotch, but when I returned home to try on the bodysuit I found that it was made so poorly that I could not even get it on! The overall size seemed sufficient (though certainly not a women's 12-14 as it claims on the package). But as I tried to step into the bodysuit the legholes were so small that they cut off circulation, and I could not get my hips through the neckhole (the only possible means of getting it on because of no zipper or other fastening enclosure). I am a size 6 with skinny legs!! According to your sizing chart I should fit into a Small, two sizes below what I purchased and could not even get onto my body. I expected the product to run small, but never did I expect it to be completely unwearable and a waste of $15. The Halloween Adventure store does not allow returns or exchanges of any kind, so I am now stuck with an unusable piece of fabric and still must spend additional money on a replacement. In the future please take your sizing and shaping practices into consideration, as I know I will be taking this experience (negatively) into consideration before even thinking about purchasing any of your products or allowing any of my friends to do so.

Disappointed,
Megan K

I like shiny

Sequins are shaping up to be a huge trend for this fall, and I welcome it with open arms! In honor of last week's Cosmo Challenge to take a flashy fashion risk and wear sequins, I decided to embrace my (possibly unhealthy) love of all things shiny and inventory the sequined items in my wardrobe. The results show that perhaps I've gone a bit overboard, especially since many of the items were purchased before the current heyday of sequins. I stand by the fact that all of the below are fabulous on their own...but mixing too many could be literally blinding.

1. Black cardigan with sequined stripes. Actually very practical!
2. Gold wife-beater tank top fully covered in sequins. Wore to a Spice Girls concert during last year's reunion tour...perhaps the only place it's appropriate.
3. Three sequined headbands (black, silver, and gold). Purchased recently after losing a previous black sequined headband awhile back while traveling.
4. Headband with ginormous black sequined bow. Purchased for upcoming TBA Halloween costume and will never be worn again. (that's a lie)
5. Gold scarf/headband with tightly concentrated sequins on the ends which gradually become sporadic towards the middle.
6. Silver/black sequined breast place necklace
7. Grey sweater-dress with scattered silver sequins at top and bottom. Wore on my b-day 2008/the night Barack Obama won the Presidential election. Proving it's a good thing. (pictured at right)
8. Magenta tank top with sequined straps, neckline, and empire waist trim. Legitimately looks like something you wore as a dance costume in 3rd grade. Was worn once 5 years ago during a cast party and will probably never be worn again. *sniff sniff*
9. Magenta tank top with vertical silver sequin stripe down the middle. Completely different from #9.
10. Teal tank top with gold sequins at the top and bottom, plus hints of gold glitter. Wore on my 21st bday, 2005. Very Jersey-Shore-tastic. (pictured at left, vintage 2006 shot)
11. Green tank top with gold sequins at the neckline. Completely different from #11...
12. Teal dress almost completely covered in sequins. Was the ish back in 2005 but now kinda reminds me of a mermaid.
13. Brown velor tracksuit with gold sequin trim on the zipper and down the leg. This is where it starts to get tragic (or did it already?)
14. Sea-green tank top with butterflies made out of silver sequins, circa 2004. Officially vom-ing in my mouth. Possibly time for a closet clean-out.

And two recent purchases that I justified after learning of the trend (but now may be re-thinking...):
15. Purple draped tunic-top with sequins on the shoulder (Forever 21, $19.80)

The debatable shame of this experiment has made me very glad I'd previously parted with a gold sequined slouchy purse (purchased at the Jersey Shore, obvi) and a gold sequined stretchy belt. My name is Megan, and I'm a sequin-a-holic.

Hi, Megan...

What ever happened to...customer service?

Headline brought to you by She By Sheree.

Made the dreaded trip to the Halloween Adventure store (11th and Broadway) today to pick up the last piece for my Halloween costume, a black bodysuit. The store was out of control packed with peepz, but that was to be expected. What endued between an employee and I, however, was not pretty:

Me: (holds up the one bodysuit that was out of the package to gauge the size)
Employee: (swoops in out of nowhere) "You can't open that!"
Me: "This one was already open."
Employee: "Doesn't matter, give it to me."
Me: "But I was just..."
Employee: (grabs the bodysuit from my hand) "Can't do that."
Me: "I can't look at at bodysuit for 2 seconds that was laying here ALREADY OPEN to see the size?"
Employee: "No." (storms off with bodysuit)

Um, it wasn't like I was trying on the bodysuit in the middle of the store or rubbing lady juices all over the crotch. Heaven forbid my fingers touch the shoulder of their cheap merchandise. I would have left right then and there, but of course Halloween Adventure is the only Halloween store in the city that carries adult-sized bodysuits without snaps on the crotch (trust me, I've checked). Happy Halloween, ASSHOLES!

I seeeeee you...


The new season of The Hills: Heidi and Spencer + Kristin - LC has been underway for about a month with predictably not much real dramz to report. So thankfully we had a reality tv crasher in last night's episode! Go to about the 6:50 mark in the video above to the moment where we get a lovely shot and title caption of Brent Bolthouse and his nose (they forgot to give his nose its own caption). Stealing the thunder in the left of Bolthouse's moment is none other than TOM GREEN! Who let him in? Didn't they get the memo that he's so dunzo? I kid, I actually adore Tom Green, and let it be known that he was robbed on The Celebrity Apprentice. Robbed I tell you!

Almost outshining Tom Green in this episode was Holly Montag and her "alcohol problem". Looks to me like homegirl was just having a good time woooo! It must suck to get a supporting role in a scripted reality show, and then be scripted as the token alcoholic. And then get called out on it by Stephanie "DUI" Pratt. Pot meet kettle. At least this may open an opportunity for Holly to do Celebrity Rehab and add a third reality show to her resume, which would make her a hell of a lot more accomplished than these other biotches.
