Looking Good- Sounding Better

This is the first FLD video that I actually could watch without cringing.


No, I don't mean the show sucks! I mean my voice was bothering me like crazy.


Well God gave me that Midwestern accent, but I learned how to slow the F down. And I've been reading Jalopnik like it was Dlisted.


Here's pics from the voice training session I had this past week with FLD. The FLD team is pretty crazy- but I think I take the cake...



I was doing my best ANTM pose. I think Tyra would say I look fierce!




Not my best angle. :)

In Case You Missed It!

Here's my TRL debut. Ok, I didn't even get the full screen- but neither did Suchin Pak!


I hope you guys enjoy!!


P.S. I bought a Mega Millions ticket today- so hopefully I'll finally be rich!

Chery Not Cheery

This is a crash test of a Chery Amulet, a China made car sold in Africa.

This is the results going at 30 mph!!


Rumor is they'll be stealing Ford's motto with "Built Chery Tough."

Fab. ;)


Thx Donny.

Now I Remember Why I'm Not a Doctor

I hate shots and I was totally this kid growing up. Screaming and crying, doing anything so that my parents would be so embarrassed they'd never go back.

The embarrassment part worked, but unfortunately not the anti doctor visit.


So in order to do my Austhaichicamland trip (Australia, Thailand, China, Cambodia, & New Zealand) I need to get a sh*tload of shots.

Currently I have typhoid in my left arm, Hep A in my right arm, and TB on my left forearm.

Going around NYC with with two looney tunes band-aids and gauze was real sexy. ooh la la.



But in all seriousness I'm surprised by how knocked out I am from these shots. This morning I woke up all shaky and light-headed. Or was that from the boozy night?


Whatever. Now I'm vegging out and watching my TRL debut.

BTW, TRL is f'ed right now. They're having some serious editing issues.

Tune Into TRL NOWWWWWW!

My Summer blog travel video of Martha's Vineyard is going to be on at around 130.


It's only 30 seconds long so no bathroom breaks for you!!

You Can't Have It All

This is third runner up Ms. South Carolina from the Miss Teen USA awards last night.

Third runner up?

Last year the girl with the wrong answer won!

The world's going down hill.


P.S. If you didn't catch it, last year Katie Blair said integrity meant you're hard-working, ambitious, and won't let anyone get in the way of your goals. She went on to underage drinking, drug use, and lesbian affairs with Miss USA.

Futbol Fury

No, not American football.

I'm kind of obsessed with David Beckham and his David v. Goliath attempt to get Americans to watch soccer.

This is an awesome clip of David Beckham starting a fight with headbutts and all.

Pure entertainment.

Now I get it why everyone else loves this sport.

Vick's NFL Career Over- Good!

When I first heard the NFL suspended quarterback Michael Vick indefinitely because of dog fighting charges I initially thought, what a shame.

I mean isn't it the cliche irony that some sports stars have killed people and they get a fine and then others say racist remarks or fight dogs and their career is over? Plus, watching Michael Vick play is elegant, beautiful, and exciting. He was my favorite player to watch - ok second to Payton Manning.

But then I read on CNN that he not only contributed to dog fights- he killed 6 dogs that didn't perform well in test sessions!

And he didn't even kill them in a quick easy way like- hmm- guns?


Nope. He went medieval style and sent them to the gallows or through drowning.


It's disgusting.




And this douchebag, no name Steven- you wish you were a Piston- Knicks player defended Michael Vick by saying dog fighting is a sport like shooting deer.


Right- and that's why he hanged them and slowly let water fill their lungs.


Vick should definitely be locked away and punished. If he can be this cruel to dogs- one can only imagine what he'd do to humans.

Chicago Tornado

Tornadoes are making a comeback this year or global warming is in fact happening.

Chicago got hit with a tornado yesterday. My sister, Julia, was caught in the middle of the storm and fortunately everyone is alright... but I can't say the same thing about the cars.




This is Julia's brand new roommate's car. A tree through a car is such a lovely "welcome to the neighborhood" present- isn't it?




This Mini Cooper must be really popular because he got the big fat tree. I'm not gonna lie, I can't help but be impressed that this car is actually standing and not deflated like a popped balloon. Maybe those car safety tests are telling the truth!




And this is just a cool picture. Lightning. Damn.


If you want to see videos check these out:




I love the video.

"Hey Man, it's a Tornado- let's go outside!" Boys will be boys...


UPDATE:



This is a much better video than the one I had yesterday.

I could say it shows how windy the windy city is, but I think the fact it is slightly raining "five minutes" later from when trees were flying down the street is pretty crazy.

A Woman's Brain Finally Revealed

According to the Brits (http://www.office-humour.co.uk/pictures/5175/) this is how a woman's brain works.

Every blue dot is a thought or errand that needs to be done.



Ya, I think that looks about right. So simple!

Youtube Bronze Medal

After a nice favor from the youtube people with a featured post, this video has maintained the number three spot for a full 24 hours with nearly 400,000 views.

It's incredible!

I am really bad and am reading the comments and most people are like Ugh- the Voice! Totally hits me where it hurts, but I'm working on it. Next episode will have a lot more personality. I mean A LOT. Like me being uber crazy, which can get kind of scary and will surely not help with the dumb blonde image.

The one good thing is that I'm learning and I'm making mistakes on the internet, which can give scathing remarks but is much nicer than screwing up in front of millions on broadcast TV.

Maxim (Radio) Debut!

I'm going to be on the Devore & Diana show on Maxim Radio tonight- wahoo.


Unfortunately my body is not like the woman above so this is why I'm on the radio.. not the mag. Boo.

I'll be chatting up the DJ's and trying to outsmart the callers- I don't think it should be too difficult.

If you don't have sirius radio you can sign up at www.sirius.com/maxim for a free three day trial.


Listen to me at 7pm sharp!!

Jake & Reese in MV? Damn

Just as I get back from the lovely Martha's Vineyard I go to Perez Hilton and find that the fabulous two some are there!

Damn!


I would've totally tried (keyword: tried) to steal Jake away from Reese!

Foot in Wino's Mouth

Amy Winehouse is totally kicking herself for making the instant classic "Rehab" because she totally said 'yes, yes, yes' to rehab- which we all know doesn't necessarily mean 'no, no, no' to drugs.

Amy Wino was forced into rehab after she almost died from an overdose a week ago and then was caught smoking heroin in a bathroom a few days afterwards. Oops.

Wino and her equally crack addict husband are both in America for rehab. Hopefully they're not in the same one as Lindsay Lohan.


It's so sad, AW & LL who actually have talent are the ones who are seriously messed up. Hopefully she gets better because one of these days I'd love to see her in concert!

Rick Roll Rules

Rick Roll: An internet prank where you are tricked into seeing this 80's video instead of a cool link.

Hint: Matt, next time you want to rick roll make sure you cover up the link www.yougotrickrolled.com by something cool like "awesome skateboarding trick" or "crazies in Bangkok" or "Pete & Kate One Last Time" (oh their videos were so legendary- tear).

But I agree with you Matt, that's a great video. I wish that today we saw more men shamelessly dancing, girls in tights and high heels boogy-ing in church, and white guys acting black...

UPDATE: After you play the music video, the screen shows you a list of other rick rolls. I like the family guy one. :)

More Cars, This Time with Shake

Here's my new video from FLD. A vast improvement from the first one (I think at least)- because this time I could pronounce everything that's on there! Well except that I kept on omitting an a in "a 6 liter V12"... go figure.

But I guess I shouldn't speak until I get the comments. By comments I mean the nasty ones that only show up on my blog- sounds fishy.. ex-boyfriend revenge? or just crazy internet stalkers??

Show yourself! ;)

Chav Wedding Experience

This is a clip from the British show Young Brides about these two very chav-y couple. For all of you non brits, chav is like a jap but without the wealth.

At my first photo shoot yesterday for prom dresses I totally felt for that bridge. Each dress has a four to six ring hoop, more tulle than you can imagine, and squeeze the breathe out of you bodices... or maybe I'm just fat.

But I digress.

Each time I unsuccessfully went through a door or knocked something over with my dress I had flashbacks of this clip!

Finding My Inner Detroit

Here's my first episode of Fast Lane Daily, a daily car news webisode. Make sure you check it out on youtube to read all the funny comments. Consensus is that I'm hot and that makes up for my voice. Ya, I hate my voice too. :)


Here are some pics from the taping doing what I do best- posing and not speaking.


Finding my inner diva:




Finding my inner devil:

Hot as HELL

You'd probably think a terrorist attack or a blackout has killed the city and left everyone sweating and with crazy frizzy hair.

Nope.

The rain.

Yes, mediocre rainfall has flooded the subways (none of which I saw) and has more or less shut down the entire subway system save a few packed stations in the boroughs (see Queens above).

On top of it it's 95 degrees with insane humidity, no wind, and the awful stench of sweaty businessmen.




I think New Yorkers should do as the Japanese businessmen do and play hookie while sunbathing on the sidewalk.. with some beer of course.


Thanks Kenny.

How Long Does it Take a Blonde to Change an Ink Cartridge?

Approximately one hour and thirty minutes including a twenty minute "relaxing" shower.

Because first I had to replace the ink cartridge that is totally ghetto and unlike all other ink cartridges.

Second, the paper jammed.

Third, I ran out of paper and even after reloading it still said I had no paper.

So after three shutdowns and tons of problems I was finally able to print successfully. Ya, that's pretty pathetic.

Mullet Mania

This is the video I made at the Travel Channel Film Academy that got me a round of applause and even a whistle!

Of course, this is the exclusive, revamped version.

Poor ladies, they were so nice and had no idea what I was going to do to them..
