Mother nature is balling snow hard right now. It’s like, legit cray. 

It also looks really lovely on my street. 

Good thing I was in Indian Princesses instead of Girl Scouts. Yeah LHJ!

Girl Scout Cookies
for Truth

As two strong female role models, aka femodels, it’s important for us to promote, no, encourage, nay, FOSTER the ideas of young girls brave enough to take a stand against something they don’t believe in. We like to call these girls: Ladiez-In-Waiting.

The star of this edition’s Ladiez-In-Waiting is an up-and-coming Girl Scout with some bigotry ideas for a new line of cookies! Cookies that are just for girls. NOT kids with the different body parts who just say they’re girls in the hopes of infiltrating the club. “Because girls should do girl things, boys do boy things and that’s the natural order of life!”

It’s this type of go-getter attitude we love, and that’s why we’re going to fast-track Taylor’s recipe for success and add some new ones of our own. We’re rolling out a whole new line of cookies to combat the dangerous game of girls accepting girls. Because we don’t know if you know, but it’s DANGEROUS. 

NEW COOKIES:

Thank You Berry Munch for Using Berry Colors, I’m a Girl and I Like Pink
Berries are the girliest flavor! We all like the same thing!

Anti-Samoans
Polynesians are not allowed. Unless they can hula dance for our TALENT SHOW.

Do-Si-Don’t Be So Open Minded
This crispy, crunchy oatmeal cookie is sure to keep you thinking conservatively. For extra flavor fun, eat these little treats while reading Godless: The Church of Liberalism by Ann Coulter.

Thinly-Veiled DiscriMints
I think you belong in Troop 4473 if you’re from THAT neighborhood.

Trefoils
They’re white. Like we should be.

Fag-No-Longers
Layers of peanut butter are a yummy way to help you convert all the budding lesbians in GSA back to normal. Thanks for the idea, Boy Scouts.

Hey Taylor, we’ll do you one better re: gender norms. We propose that Girl Scouts now make all the cookies, since we’re better in the kitchen and all. Let the Boy Scouts sell them. They have a real knack for salesmanship. See, it’s in the word itself. SalesMANship. (They also like ships).

Postscript: It looks like Taylor has been roped in with http://honestgirlscouts.com. Every budding activist needs mentors. 

Post Post Script: Kudos to the rest of the girls of the world who are learning, building, doing, accepting. And kudos to the GSA for facilitating that.

Are you guys into NBA fan fiction or what? I’m addicted.

Welcome to Netted Bliss with Candace Parker and Shelden Williams. Each week, the First-Couple of professional basketball will take turns tackling the toughest questions that Yahoo! Answers has to offer.

Q: I’m 13 and I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’m afraid of being alone all my life?

I’m 13…

You may notice from my picture above, that today was a particularly troubling day for me. I had a revelation.

I was on a website and saw this model and it just hit me- I’m never going to be one. Like, I’m always going to be 5’3” from here on out and that’s never going to be model material. 

Perhaps I took my mother’s inspiring words “you can be whatever you want to be,” a little to seriously, for a bit too long, but I thought maybe one day…you know? Turns out it’s never. 

I’m totally fine with the way I look. That’s not what this is about. It’s about me thinking that I just hadn’t hit my model stride, that I believe everyone deserves. When I was in middle school, I think I just thought you became a model when your awkward stages finally lifted. 

Why won’t mine lift?

Astronaut Theatre is BLASTING OFF at Chicago Sketchfest this weekend.

And by blasting off, we mean making tastefully subtle boner jokes.  

Not only is my mom really good at successfully guilt tripping me into entering online sweepstakes on HGTV.com, but she’s got some great Halloween decorating ideas as well. 

Tip #1: Buy a hot mask.

Tip#2: Wrap the mask around a candle.

Tip #3: There are no more tips your home is decorated.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. 

Chanel Spring 2012 Show in Paris w/ Florence + the Machine. 

I’m 25. Yep. It happened- I couldn’t even stop it. I’ve been like super reflective about this age. What am I doing in my life? Is it the right thing? Who am I? How long before my body turns to scales? Stuff like that. 

Since I’ll have the whole year to ask myself those questions, I spent my birthday weekend celebrating. I took Friday off from work and went to lunch with my mom at Fred’s in Barney’s. Then I checked out the recently opened Chicago TOPSHOP. 

Friday evening, I had a delicious meal with a group of girlfriends and my sister at Prasino in Wicker Park and then headed back to my apartment for a party themed “OktoberFitz.” It was a lot of fun. My mom put together some great boards with pictures of me throughout the years and had my friends and I out to the suburbs for a spread of appetizers Saturday.

Left no time for quarter life crisis questions. 

If you like DEXTER-this video is incredible. If you don’t- this video is incredible.

Even though today was gloomy and rainy in Chicago- I had a great time w/friends at The Vintage Bazaar at the Congress Theater. Saw some wonderful pieces and purchased the clutch ($12) and turquoise brooch ($20) above.
