September 10 08

a man standing, donning brown large wale corduroy pants put his ass thisclose to my face while i was sitting on the subway last night. and may have farted.

true story.

i offered up my seat to a visibly pregnant woman by saying, “do you want to sit?”

and she answered, “oh! i’m not pregnant!” and then i died.

true story.

i spotted a trying-to-be-unseen Scott Speedman racing past me. but not before i grabbed my camera and took a shot. mmm…scruffy Scott Speedman…

true story.

i may have replaced my beloved Victoria’s Secret v-string. i kid you not. on the rare occasion that i DO wear underpants, under jeans, i always wear the trusty v-string. cute, comfy, perfect. and then Miss Oprah Winfrey had to go and endorse something. something that my stepmom snatched up and threw into my Chrismukah stocking.

a black hanky panky low-rise thong.

heaven

thanks, Oprah. i haven’t loved Oprah this much since she introduced my to SPANX.

(i may or may not have taken a photo of myself wearing them. and my ass? way nicer than hers. just saying)

true story.

i submitted one of my pictures from TIFF to a big name photo agency and got a call last night about it! awesome! maybe i’m cut out to be a paparazzo. although can you see my hiding out under stairs to get photos of Britney’s nethers??!?!

maybe i’ll submit some of the ones i took last night at the gala premiere to Pride and Glory

maybe this one:

or this one:

or any of the other ones over here….hmmm….

Colin Farrell and Jon Voight were no-shows last night. but Edward Norton. good god, Edward Norton. words cannot express to you how much i love Ed Norton. Hell, i even loved him in Death to Smoochy.

AND there was a lovely little Fight Club-esque scene in the movie involving Ed Norton and Colin Farrell. and while some of the women in the theater were all “oh my god! the violence!” i was sitting there all...rawr.

true story.

  1. Which photo did you submit? Is it online somewhere? Will you tell us if it gets used?

  2. Spanx. My nirvana.

    You should have ass punched the sucker that farted in your face.

  3. Same questions as SciFi Dad…when do we see the pic?? 🙂

    I almost puked in my mouth just reading about the guy farting in your face.

    Comment by AJ on September 10, 2008
  4. In my mind, I would have totally pulled a Fight Club on farts-in-the-face dude. OMG!

    Then? Then I would have been all “eeny, meeny, miney, mo, pick a Speedman or Norton by the toe…” Again, sadly, that would have been all in my mind.

  5. I totally and completely second your opinion on the Hanky Panky thongs – way better than the V-string.

  12. I have to say… as I am sure you know that’s Scott Speedman… he looks a ltitle chunky in the picture. Maybe it’s the angle?

    Comment by Mari on September 10, 2008
  13. farting in public is not cool. in someone’s face? double uncool. wearing cords in the Summer? triple uncool.

  19. I discovered Hanky Pankys three years ago and forever have been changed.

    You should match it up with a pretty Hanky Panky cami. Seriously… heaven.

  23. Hmm…

    Guy farts in your face… means positive karma coming your way

    Asking a non-pregnant woman if she is pregnant… means negative karma coming your way.

    So, um, I think you are basically even. Which, you know, sucks because a guy did blow a fart in your face.

  26. I may be the only one who reads our blog that has seen death to smoochy.

    Oh- and I was that “pregnant” woman in feb. Someone offered me the seat on the subway and I told them I wasnt pregnant (in my defense I had twins 3 months prior). Of course then I beat myself up for not going along and taking the seat.

  34. I think I love scruffy men. Edward Norton Jr. was so hawt in American History X. Also, sorry to hear about the stranger farting at you. Farts of non-aquaintences are always the worst.

  35. Another reason we’re alike: I go commando all the time, too! Though if I must wear panties (under pants, of course, though you know I usually rock the dresses), I cannot under any circumstances sport a thong. I just don’t get the supposed “comfort” of butt floss!

    Comment by Camels & Chocolate on September 10, 2008
  36. I don’t think actors come much better than Edward Norton.

  39. My sister and I were behind you in line yesterday, admiring your outstanding camera work and fawning over your Nokia. We’re still recovering from the intensity of Pride and Glory. Next to me was a very distinguished lady in a cocktail dress who spent the entire film gasping dramatically. But I think the standing ovation was well deserved.

    Other than that great barfight scene, did you like the movie?

    Your blog is hilarious,by the way, and a total pleasure to read.

    Comment by Anna on September 10, 2008
  40. I’ve offered my seat to a visibly pregnant woman before only to have her say the same thing. I think she was lying to me just to fuck with me. I should have tripped her.

    Seriously though, Edward Norton? Like wow. I would yell like a school girl. If Colin Farrell was there, that’d be it!

  43. Got my first pair of Hanky Pankys right before my wedding (someone bought them for me). LOVE em, except that they’re a little pricey for me to buy a zillion pairs like I want to.
    Also, I’ve offered my subway seat to pregnant looking women who are not actually pregnant and THEY TAKE IT!
    Being fat does not make someone entitled to my seat.
