For Your Listening Pleasure

I'm  trying to write some actual posts.  Really. I am.

My life has been somewhat more out of control than usual recently and I do feel like a shit for not posting anything meaningful, deep, witty or intelligent (have I ever posted anything like that?) AND for not even responding to your comments.  *sigh*  I'm sorry. I appreciate every damn one of you that comes here to read and comment.  You contribute to making me get out of bed each morning.

While you're all waiting for some posts with meat, I thought y'all would like to see/listen to another song from My Life's Soundtrack. 




ADELITAS WAY


"Sick"

I'm so sick of me, being sick of you,
And the way you look, all the things you do,
You drive me crazy, drive me crazy
Sick of being broke, can't pay the rent
I'm about to snap, I can't handle this
I'm going crazy, going crazy (going crazy)

If you're sick like me
There's no stopping now,
Try to break it up
And just let it out
If I was sick like you,
I would feed the fire
I would light it up
And watch it all drop down

I'm so sick of my life
It's the same old trip,
Try to make it bend,
But it never gives
Look what you made me (what you made me)
Well I hate my boss,
He's a little bitch
If he keeps it up,
I'll make him quit
Or I'll go crazy
I'm going crazy

If you're sick like me
There's no stopping now,
Try to break it up
And just let it out
If I was sick like you,
I would feed the fire
I would light it up
And watch it all drop down
(And watch it all drop down)

I'm so sick of me, being sick of you,
And the way you look, all the things you do,
You drive me crazy, drive me crazy
Yeah!

If you're sick like me
There's no stopping now,
Try to break it up
And just let it out
If I was sick like you,
I would feed the fire
I would light it up
And watch it all drop down

(If you're sick like me,
There's no stopping now
There's no stopping now
Watch it all drop down
If you're sick like me
Then you're sick like me)

Happy Father's Day!





Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars. .

You'll Never Guess ...

... what this is a commercial for.

My sweet Vincent sent this to me. Even someone deep in the abyss has got to laugh at it because it's fucking brilliant!

goNe inSane - Back sOOn!


How's this for the weekend ~

  • Son moves back home with girlfriend.
  • Daughter might be leaving her husband.
I need mass quantites of alcohol and possibly a bucket o' Valium.  I might be MIA for a little while.

Something Completely Different ~ Vedette Shapewear Review

The BIANCA I received from Vedette
The delightful shapewear company VEDETTE has kindly given me a fantastic one of their Body Shapers to review for you!  I found Vedette via Bloggerdise.  After looking at the site, I thought being able to try one of their beautifully constructed pieces would be a rare treat.  And it was!  Vedette has a huge selection of  shapewear, lingerie, body shapers, corsets, fajas, waist cinchers, shaping hosiery, and other undergarments for every size and shape body to be worn under any and all clothing options.

I requested BIANCA in black (it's also available in nude), XL.  The measurements for XL are: Dress size 8-10, Underbust 39”-42”, Hips 49”-53”.  I liked that this bodyshaper allowed me to wear a separate bra and because it added extra support underneath my boobs.  That is always a plus.


Because lingerie models are well, lingerie models, I thought it would be really good for y’all to see this item modeled on an actual person – me!   I chose a dress that I rarely wore because it didn’t fit well.  I have several body suits that are extremely uncomfortable and the bra portion seems to either squash my breasts into chicken cutlets or make me look like I’ve got one of Madonna’s old bras on.  The ones I have didn’t work well with this dress.  So, here you have the “before” the Vedette bodyshaper.  I’d appreciate it if you didn’t comment on any of the “before” pictures.  I know I’m lumpy, that’s why I’m killing myself at Crossfit, people!

This is how I look with the BIANCA on ~





I know! Big difference! This dress will never be a favorite of mine but it sure looks better with the Vedette bodyshaper.  The BIANCA is also very comfortable.  It’s fully lined with super soft fabric (95% cotton, 5% spandex) that breathes and I think will keep moisture away from your skin. The outer fabric is 82% nylon, 18% spandex.  The crotch is cotton lined.  It opens/closes with a hook and eye.  Any of y’all who’ve worn a body suit knows that trying to unhook/re-hook that crotch is a bitch because you’re usually being held in by something that’s akin to reinforced rubber but not with the BIANCA!  WooHoo! I was able to bend over, unhook it and re-do it up without much difficulty at all.  That alone is worth the price in my opinion.  Another thing is that the suit didn’t ride up.  I wore it around the house under shorts and a t-shirt while I was doing chores, no wedgies!  BIANCA was comfortable enough for me to keep it on for several hours – standing, sitting, bending and walking.

Not every woman will need shapewear all the time. But I know that most women will have occasion to need products that Vedette sells.  I hope you’ll take a look at their site when you may want/require shapewear.  Also, their print catalog is just gorgeous!
