Dress code

I am pretty convinced my company's executives must be Mormon, or something similar. I mean really, its 2011 what is so wrong with showing the top half of your arm, or even a little above the knee? First off, I work in a building that interacts with no customers. I particularly am a call center environment. The dress code is already strict, but starting tomorrow its about to get worse. No dress code allowance provided either. We already have a business professional attire, and this is what they consider business casual for females :

*Every top and dress must have a sleeve, or a sweater or blazer on at all times, even when at your desk, even if having a hot flash.

* All skirts, and dresses must hit the knee or longer

* No maxi dresses, no leggings ( not even under skirts or dresses)

* No denim

* No capris or crops, even if trouser material

* The only polo shirt you can wear, YOU have to purchase with the company logo on it, and it must be tucked in

* No shirts with any graphic, no tee shirts, no active wear

* Nothing covering your head at any time, unless for religious use

* No sandals, no high wedges, no stilettos, zero boots,no shoes or clothes that look like you might wear them to any type of "club"

Management will be walking around, sending people home without pay and with an occurance, and you will be on your way to a write up. Lets hope they are actually fair this time, because I really am sick of looking at a size 30 female squeeze in target xl leggings daily and get away with it. If i have to search the universe for clothes, we ALL do!!

Do you know how hard it is to find clothes in today's world that even meet all these guidelines, not to mention my height ,size, and budget. They make it almost impossible to just focus on your job, no wonder most of us have an anxiety disorder!

sweet, simply

Luvin Young Money

Young Money, is the record label founded by Lil' Wayne. It's current popular artist are Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. I guess you can say this is my urban side, because I LOVE Young Money, its pretty much all I listen to right now.

All I care about is money and the city that I’m from
I’ma sip until I feel it, I’ma smoke it till it’s done
And I don’t really give a fuck, and my excuse is that I’m young
And I’m only getting older so somebody shoulda told ya

I'm on one......

Electric wish list

I am in need of the following, just saying. Although they are pretty out of reach!

I desperately need a new phone!!!! I cant check my email, facebook, really anything from mine anymore.... helpppppppppp!!!!!!!!

I had heard about this nifty brewer, but normally I drink iced espresso drinks. I recently tried some coffee from this at my uncles, and it was SO good! Then I saw that it makes iced coffee!! If you are someone who pays for espresso based drinks regularly, this will more then save you money with time.

Who doesn't want one of these nifty things in todays' world?!? I admit, I get a little jealous when I see people at work with them. Freaking perfect!

70's style

Saturday was my uncle Doug's 50th birthday party. It was a 70's party. I love themes and dressing up! If I have a themed party, it required, by the way. I had a really good time, although I probably drank too much. Luckily they let me utilize the couch for the night! I found my dress at a vintage store by my house, i did my hair and no that's not a "bump it". My favorite MAC artist Crystal did my make up, and she did an amazing job, really. The eye shadow was stunning. Those are my gold eyes!!! they make me happy.

I just love all things retro

work it, girl.

Big girls like the pole too

I just had the hardest work out class of my life. Of course, I am not in shape, but still! I've had my share of work outs, I used to be pretty hardcore at the gym, and with weights. My arms hurt so bad, I can't even pull up my underwear. My friend Jessica and I took a pole dancing class, at romance & dance in Carson, Ca. Its an hour class, the first half is not on the pole, its different stretches and positions. About a million times harder then intense yoga. I was thinking when you swing yourself on a pole, you are essentially attempting to lift your body weight, yikes! No way I could do that at the gym. My legs are in really good shape, I walk hard, fast, and a lot. I would like my thighs to be toned, but they don't hurt right now. I would really recommend this work out, its super fun!!! They play good music, and its a good way to switch up your routine if you already work out. Its $20 a class

Barbie art!!!

I love Barbie!! How can you not? I played with Barbie forever! I will totally admit that. So, for me, this art is drool-worthy. One day some of them will grace my apartment walls.
