" the bachelorette " { episode 6 }

treachery. lies. deceit.

1. i want to go to turkey
2. nice of alibaba to wear big ole theme earrings. sooo local!
3. is she wearing a beaded vest?
4. love that intro: "i don't think anything could go wrong at this point!"
5. was that a scripted set up or what?!
6. wait... who is jessie?
7. could we please have a picture?
8. please let it go to voice mail.. she gave us a long ring... like she was busy?
9. oooh yeah, jessie. boring.
   
10. i wish she was the girlfriend.
    
11. oooh jessica!! are you snookie's best friend?
12. what a gross and obvs ploy to get on tv, jess.
    
13. another girlfriend? 3 girls would actually date an entertainment wrestler? shame on YOU, girls. he's a TB.
    
14. you know, ali, if people say they're "there for the right reasons" they TOTALLY mean it. specially if they say it repeatedly.
15. great advice, chris: "just be strong and let him have it!"
16. i kind of LOVE that she called him out in front all the other guys. cut it off, ali!!!
17. yes, rrrroberto! comfort him!
18. "i'm oooooout." sweet canadian response, db.
    
19. i love that she went to chase him down in his bedazzled sweats and dog tags.
    
20. niiiice! even the waiter won't let him in the hotel!
21. i love that she caged him in the garden.
    
22. no!!! walking thru shrubbery in a boot!!!
23. climbing over rocks and water features.
    
24. that. was. good. tv.
25. classy, R, throw jessica under the bus!
    
26. ooh relax, ali. you weren't that into him anyway....
27. shut UP! i love that they have his voice mail!
    
28. and the dramatic Turkish music!!!
29. please bless he had to fly himself home!
30. that's a win/win for abc.
31. does every building in turkey have an orange roof?
32. ty should maybe get his ears tacked (i did it. no shame here.) and get rid of that cheezy shirt, and the true religion jeans, and that cheezeball necklace.
    
33. i love that ali points things out like she knew that without a producer in her ear....
34. i love the turkish tablecloths as bathwear.
35. crazy and gross to think that people have been bathing/sweating there for 300 years...
36. frank has flesh colored facial hair ala spencer pratt.
37. roberto. you're our only hope.
38. craig, dude. you're just not cute enough. sorryboutit.
39. i'll bet ali is a weak masseuse.
    
40. do you think al is wearing lash extensions? or a set?
    
41. istanbul is sexy. i want to go to there.
    
42. strange... why is she hiding on group dates?
43. hmm... i'm fascinated by the nipple colors. black: roberto, pink: that pink dude who shimmied the second she poured oil on him.
    
44. no wonder frank wasn't invited on this group date. his skinny bod wouldn't make for good oiled up man tv.
    
45. seriously, abc. could you try to emasculate these men any more?! speedos, broadway, poetry, olive oil wrestling? they look so stupid!
46. is it cape cod with the fancy cursive tattoo?
47. oh roberto! you and your black nipples. you're adorable.
    
48. "roberto is a really good oil wrestler" ..... real real gay.
    
49. woah, lawyer! wrestler of words!
50. nooo she doesn't feel the same way about you, dude. she's faking it.
    
51. i keep waiting for her to say, "but...... he's not so cute"
52. holy cats! her stenchies get stringier and stringier.
53. frank annoys me now.
    
54. rolled up jacket sleeves, dude?
55. ooh the bazaar is soo glee glee!!
56. franks sultan hat looked like an ottoman on his head.
57. does anybody else think it's awkward when they talk to each other about ho they want to be the "one?"
58. i love the magic cymbals when they're in "love."
59. the cistern kinda creeped me out.
60. oh no. did ali ruin another pair of boots in the water?
61. no? barefoot? nasty! who knows how long that moldy water has been down there!
62. pretty set, though...
63. thumb ring on frank?
64. bleh. it's one thing to have it on a middle finger... but the thumb?
    
65. we all know how i feel about manjewelry.... wedding ring and watch ONLY. bleh.
    
66. ok, al. this is not a HARD journey. you're not on a wagon trail, nobody is starving, or being tortured. these wieners are on a tv show in gorgeous locations doing cool things and whining all the way...
    
67. oooh no rose ceremony! way to mix it up dramatically, al!
68. eeshka. bad hair, rrrroberto.
69. pink nipples v. oil wrestler
70. i'd choose oil wrestler.
71. ali chooses: wait for it...
72. pink nipples.
    
73. dummy.
74. oh no! is he crying?! they didn't even need to liquor him up more with a cocktail party to get that response! well done, abc!
75. ooh no! whose dad is the animal stuffer??? kirk's? nooo.. maybe ty?
76. wait, they're giving it all away!!!
    
77. frank has a girlfriend.. surprise surprise...
78. the only thing i can get excited about by seeing ty's hairy white upper thigh is remembering how strangely dreamy tom cruise was in knight and day.... really... risky business style. i was into it.. and i think he's a first class weirdo.

ok... what you thinking?

speaking of rings.....

i hear mark-paul gosselaar is back on the market.

truthfully, he's one of the most interesting, surprising, and hilarious men i've ever hung out with......

sorry it didn't work out, zack, but....

call me!

will he put a ring on it?

my dear fb and i had probably 2 fights in our entire relationship.

the largest was over rings...

after discussing the size/cut/etc. of my wedding ring (yup..we talked rings at length and i requested a much more modest model than he had anticipated), he dropped a bomb:

"my dad doesn't wear a ring. i don't like wearing jewelry. i'll wear a ring for pics on our wedding day, but i'll never wear it again so just buy a wedding watch for me."

1. i happen to love the look of a wedding ring on a man. it's beautiful. it's committed. it's taken. it's sexy.

2. i wasn't worried that he didn't want to wear it so he could cheat...no. but as a single woman, the first thing i look at is the left hand. no ring? fair game to flirt!

i was really upset by it.
what do you think?

tomorrow

i'm teaching in relief society tomorrow, dear union square 3rd ward gals.

we're talking about one of my favorite talks

read { here }

see you tomorrow!

2 commercials in 2 days.

commercial shoot #2 was for dr scholls for her: fast flats!
ooh fancy!

i literally danced ALL NIGHT on a rooftop on the lower east side...
is it ironic that my feet were literally on fire dancing for a foot care product?!

its the end of a LOOOOONG week and i'm weepy with exhaustion
but incredibly grateful for these 2 gigs this week.

after
catching the bouquet,
flying back to nyc in first class,
amazing seats to shakespeare in the park
2 callbacks for new projects,
& 2 commercial shoots,

i think i'm on the up and up.....

i think it's fitting that the graffiti on that center building says

"you go girl!"

in a new york minute....

i awoke to my agent's call asking me to get a move on and get my act to a last min audition....
well.... i booked it on the spot...
and they shot the commercial on the spot...

this commercial just happened to also be on a tv show.....

i shot a national network tv show and a national network commercial
on a day when my big event was to be an outing with sussy to the shake shack...

i signed a confidentiality agreement...
so i can't tell you anything about it.....

but that it happened.

in a new york minute.


*tomorrow, i get to shoot a commercial for dr scholls... good week!

c + c = wedding.

wedding number 2 of 4 ( for this summer) did not disappoint.

old friends.
new(er) friends.
new(est) friends.


and the second amazing match that i've witnessed this summer.
it gives me such joy to see two people so equal in life and love.

mazel!


the boyers & boyer bump

k & faux-oy-friend.

with my old ny- hawaiian massage buddy and wall climber, ethan.
(who is single, ladies... jump on it! he's a lawyer)

b-dawg

the stunning bride in amsale
(that i was lucky enough to help pick out)

n-n-n-new york girls

a borg and a cake

and
guess who i found?!
alisa!
my old friend from children's video songbook
who was singing at the wedding with...

zack-attack!
star of "dance wars,"
former fiancee of one dwts dancer and married to a DIFFERENT dwts dancer.
(i think he has a type;)
he's also my "tony" to my first west side story "maria."
i adore him.

inside the tents.
just like at bryant park.

pretty friends.

fauxoyfriend.
fake date.

i'm very into my faux date obligations

ck's dear father is serving as a mission president for our church in russia- since he was unable to be there, he watched all the festivities via skype and was able to chat with everybody & watch the bride and groom cut the cake.

so maybe i caught the bouquet.
with one lazy hand.
it was my first.
oh boy.

groom. fauxoyfriend. future bride

jake + v-trash = breakup shocker of the year.

my darlings,

in my haste to spit out my (already) late bach post, i neglected to address the elephant (with bad stenchies) in the daily news (u.s. weekly)...

i was quickly chastised by one of my mostest favoritest people,
my acupuncturist, tripp.
(please don't go see him, it's hard enough to get in at my leisure)
who is genius...
and also a big bach expert.

here is his comment- copied and pasted for you
(cause, well, it made me lizz slightly-we'll work on that in my thursday session):

Nat...you KNOW how I love this blog...how I LOVE following your listing of the craziness of the season...
But I'm afraid we gotta stop for a moment. STOP.
JAKE AND VIENNA?!?????
Are we surprised? Upset? Isn't it a little bit like watching that crazy aunt and uncle- one of whom nobody likes- at a holiday function?

Or maybe it's like watching a car wreck in slow motion...

Or maybe more like watching a terrible Broadway show that all your friends are in...BOMBING.

And knowing that it will...
"Dear Jake and Vi (is it ok if I call you Vi? Or maybe Vee?)-
This process of dating, falling in love, and promising a faithful FOREVER in a matter of WEEKS in front of MILLIONS of TV viewers is such a slippery slope...believe me, I know!

It's precious, and no matter what ANYONE says about your show biz designs...I believe that true LOVE like you 2 have will win out...

If you need me, Facebook me- and if you can't find me, contact Natalie...apparently she's on some kinda Bachelor(-ette) hot list. She'll get the message to me.

I love you, I believe in you...and like Jake? I still believe in LOVE!

Tripp

PS: Vee? I swear, I think you're gonna be a star on TV or something...don't worry about taking acting classes, or working at it or anything, just hang in there...they'll find you!!"

" the bachelorette " { episode 5 }

my new fb bestie

ok...
who is the psycho who hacked my facebook account and added all of this season's bachelors?!

one morning by the pool, i checked email only to find about 10 friend confirmations by this years "bachelorette" hopefuls.
i will find you!!!

1. man jewelry- deserves its very own post. love you, rrrrroberto, but the christian dog tags are try-hard.
2. i love copying her walk. slightly masculine, slightly jaunty.... totally awkward.
   
3. i'm pretty jelly-cat that they get to travel the world.
   
4. soo.... chris harrison doesn't get cold? why wasn't he in a coat and giant furry elmer fudd hat?
5. ew. a love poem?! what a lame challenge. who wants to hear that?!
6. nice of them to force them to sit in the cold and wax poetic.
   
7. oooh that language is crazy!!!
8. frank really has written multiple love poems? are we sure he's not batting for the other team?
9. oook entrepreneur?! is that the first time we've heard him talk?
10. seriously, how many different ways can you emasculate a man?!
11. casey's "guard and protect her heart" count: 7
    
12. oooooh awkie! poor chris n. no wonder we haven't heard from him.
    
13. vim! the walk over and plop next to her...frank is so theatrical. did he learn the walk over after roberto's lion king audition?
14. oooh, and she just mentioned it! damn, i'm good!
15. wow ! what a candid surprise!
16. why is he wearing women's clothing?
17. matching sweaters: zooooobie alert
18. rated-r, i hate to tell you this, but you are a staged wrestler. not a real one. the only fear you see in your opponent's eyes is stage fright.
    
19. wait, kirk's afraid to tell her about mold/asbestos poisoning?! that's the big secret? boooring.
    
20. why is he scratching her cheeks as he smooches her-is she a scratch-n-sniff?
21. ali's whooped. doesn't matter what he does/says to her... she's in.
    
22. she's the giggliest drunk.
23. more scratching.
    
24. a tattoo to "be a man?"
25. get real, weirdo.
    
26. how is frank not laughing at this dramatic confessional?
27. "i got a tattoo! i can take physical pain!!" deep.
    
28. "i'm about going fast on anything" ("really dirty girl" says sussy)
29. nice helmets that don't fit.
30. none of these icelandic adventures seem fun to me... where's the beach?!
31. ooh yes, once you have your cast off, you're unstoppable, evil superhuman!
32. dude, please keep your clothes on. ew.
33. druuuunk skunk.
    
34. druuuuuuunk.
35. oooh rated r- love your hand shake warning. it's prolly the shame from wearing such cheesy true religion jeans.
    
36. ali did lose a ton of weight since the first date. she's looking great! urine-colored hair aside....
37. "she looks like she was a mean girl in high school" ( sussy )
38. i'm bored of you, frank.
    
39. wooooooah. sloppy sloppy sloppy drunk.
    
40. casey is so totally unbalanced... and so is rated- r. what a fright!
41. love that he's psyching himself up for his big "fight."
42. is ali drunk in the helicopter?
43. i wouldn't put it past rated-r to push casey out of the heli.
44. good heavens, his voice is so strange.
    
45. "he's "beside himself" on the plane hooome" (sussy)
46. sheesh! they're spending a bloody fortune to shoot this thing. nice 360 aerial shots!
47. nothing says romance like being compared to a "championship belt" -specially a fake-wrestling prize.
48. cool and totally uncomfortable ice lounge.
    
49. loved the liquor choke from casey.
    
50. rated r is really waxing canadian tonight. heavy accent.
    
51. the only thing casey needs to do is be normal.
    
52. que crazy tattoo.
    
53. creeeeepyyyyy.
54. ok, he explained it less bizarrely than he did to the guys...
    
55. thank you for "being you."
56. he's a gonner.
57. is ali fake laughing or fake crying?
58. nothing like being left on the side of a glacier.
    
59. please wave slowly and mournfully, kasey!!!
60. no way!!! there it is!!
61. the wave!!
62. hopefully rudolph and the abominable snow man will help kasey find his way home to crazy town.
63. two roses... one to justin and one to rated-r..... wait..... what?!
64. ew kirk. wearing the fugly sweater at the rose ceremony!
65. i like ali's dress, but nicole thinks she needs to play the piano in a pageant.
    
66. strange frank... the pullover with a tie and black waiter's shirt.
67. nope. that gold cuff is not working with the silver beading....
68. not interested in lawyer boy or his law school graduation droppings...
69. i do love the fake tat.
    
70. really? ! random dude? you're funny? haven't seen more than 5 seconds of face time you boring weirdo.
71. ooop. yup. there's frank creeping int he background.
    
72. random dude has girl hands.
73. finally! roberto
74. ugh. our sexy roberto moment was ruined by her whining and fishing for a compliment.
    
75. she's so lame.
76. oooh chris harrison, you're so profoundly changing her life.
    
77. he's giving the one eyebrow "nailed it. nailed it."
    
78. again... ali's sporting the barbie doll hair rubbed into the carpet messy up-do...
79. wow. this after-school special/dr phil moment was truly life changing...
    
80. that lawyer guy has fat potential.
81. the dude we never see is totally steve nash.
82. how do you put a rose on a collared shirt.
83. roberto should be a soap star.
    
84. fb vs. steve nash!!! who will win?!
85. ooooh buh bye, steve nash! who looks TOTALLY shocked/stoned.
86. well, it's "not getting easier"... but being drunk really helps!
87. did ali just say "supposively?

well..... another eventful night...

ok. who hacked my facebook?

funny.....
but really... who are you?

hopefully Kasey "pokes" me.

Yes, we were bount for Utah but due to delta (suckiest/most poorly managed airline in the sky or on land) 's incompetence, we landed ourselves in Vegas -

Which could have been cool except bff, dd, isn't in town (natch) and Stella isn't really into vegas nightlife.

Also, the camera in my Iphone mysteriously stopped working... Awesome.

But now we're bound for Utah (we hope) and didn't gamble a cent--

With my luck this year, I'd end up penniless and with a pulled bicep from pulling the nickel slots. Hell!

Location:Leaving Las Vegas

stella and i are off to the beehive state

to see the fruits of my matchmaking magic!

ck and carl are to be wed this weekend....
and i feel partly (slash most entirely) responsible.

just call me yente!

angry asians.

after being the stars of mim for an entire spring/summer of last year, shannO and kelly moon felt neglected and deprived of blog love....

so they gave angry faces....

but it's hard to take kelly seriously (shannO could cut a b)
when he's not even connecting to his fist on the head lean....
still cute, though.

hi gaysians!

i love you.

" the bachelorette " { episode 4 }

1. first things first, ali, you're not traveling with the homies... you traveled first class on a DIFFERENT DAY and they slummed it together.
   
2. oooh does the instyle makeover include a cut and color?!
   
3. her color now looks like snuffaluffagus.
4. bizarre forced convo with the makeup artist and hairstylist
5. why is that dude kissing public signs?
6. great clothes, al.
   
7. hair: still nast.
8. that instyle dude has had his fair share of botoxing.
9. product placement:instyle, 75 wall, flip cam, lion king, 230 5th avenue,
   
10. yes, weatherman does look slightly like tom cruise.
11. kasey's voice makes me nuts.
    
12. she's "imaginary"? really dude? what do you call your blow up doll?
    
13. please don't talk about the emotions surging thru your body...
14. love that that cape cod had to turn his shirt inside out to do the confessional... did it say "hooters"
15. looks like al got her lips done again.
    
16. i live embarrassingly close to the intrepid, but i've never gone...
17. but i HAVE taken a helicopter ride around nyc... and that was boss.
18. kind of amazing to go over the city- commercial helicopter flights don't get to do that.
19. cocoons, expanding out into love, fairy tales, love stories? you need to date kelly bensimon. she says she's surrounded by rainboys and unicorns.
    
20. oooh no he DI'INT!!!! what the awkward?! i just lizzed and vim'd when he started singing....
21. then her awkward laugh
22. and his "yeah! it's intense"
    
23. amazing!!!! oooh i can't stop laughing!!!
24. what's with the movie soundtrack under the museum pull up?!
25. fun to go to the natural history museum at night!
26. aaand creeeeepy. real real creepy. that place weirds me out in the day time with all that nasty taxidermy.
27. is she running so she doesn't have to hold his hand?
28. why is he acting like a 5 yr old?!
29. you're not the average guy?! hell! i hope not, you're so strange!
30. love how these dudes act all pre-game! hooting and hollering and chanting?!
31. i'm always freaked out that the giant whale is going to fall on me.
    
32. she's not having him.
    
33. "how is this different than your other relationships?" well, ali, i'm on a tv show and expressing that you're the one for me even though i don't even know you at all.
    
34. stop talking about guarding and protecting the heart...
    
35. i've got it!! perfect hallmark writer: "this is my heart! jump in! stay awhile!"
36. ooooooh he's batshitcrazy!
    more singing!
37. oooh it just "came" to you, eh?
38. his voice sounds like a cartoon character...which one?! this is driving me nuts!
39. good al. way to be honest!
40. wait, what?! she's going to keep him?
41. nice lighting on her.
    
42. oooh he's starting to crumble.
    
43. the rose in a museum case... so far away.
    
44. ooooph! that roberto is cute!
45. fun scavenger hunt idea!
46. did they really get the lion king idea on their own?
47. oh weatherman! no forecasting!
48. love the actors on stage- OH! applause?! we didn't even know you were here!!
49. no big deal: thomas schumacker.... major. major. major.
    
50. uh... broadway guys don't wear biker shorts to rehearse.
    
51. frank looks spaztic.
52. did i ever tell you i know a girl who went to hs with roberto? she says he's totally normal and cool. muy bueno!
53. ooh i hope the weatherman cries.
    
54. FRANK! hilarious vibrato.
    
55. contractor carries a tune! he's slightly boy-bandish, no?
56. oook, roberto. you can't sing, but i'd smooch you.
    
57. ali agrees.
    
58. i don't understand why they keep trying to emasculate these men!
59. natch, roberto. he's a star.
    
60. mark my words: if he doesn't won the bachelorette, he's the next bachelor. ... and if he's the next bach, i'd reconsider going on the show.
61. i can't believe they were allowed to do walk-ons with arials. that's major.
    
62. so strange that the guys had to watch them mount each other in mid-air.
63. poor roberto in tights.
    
64. more forecasting with tom cruise. vim
65. wonder who was forced out of their dressing rooms to give them solo rooms...
66. poor guys didn't even get to watch live!!! hilarious!
67. weatherman is tots gay.
    
68. i think roberto has found his calling. we'll welcome him on bway.
    
69. oooh weatherman! stop talking! and stop talking about how sick ali is! he's losing it!
    
70. love roberto and the forecast! hilarious!
71. why is ali walking around in the rain?...stay inside, weirdo.
72. nothing says romance like smooching in a windstorm with umbrellas hitting you in the head.
73. definitely kiss her and get sick, then infect the other hombres. game plan!
74. ugh. these guys are worse than whiny jr high girls!
75. ew. rated-r is even sweaty in his confessional.
    
76. ok. i think it should be roberto and cape cod- top 2
77. weatherman is always lurking and stalking her other conversations.
78. ok, lawyer, i mean, crazy! it wont be you and ali in the end.
79. wall street has worn off on weatherman "i'm gonna take the bull by the horns!"
80. oooph! DENIED!
81. like ali's anthro bedding
82. you're jealous, weatherman?! thanks captain obvious!
83. ew, dirty girl! going to sleep with her makeup on!
84. ooh poor ali. she has sick face.
    
85. who is that guy with the dark straight hair?!
86. why does weatherman always have his head cocked to the side for his confessional?
87. casey even walks like he's posessed.
    
88. fugly jeans, dude.
    
89. a shield, a rose, and a heart.
    
90. cape cod isn't dressed appropriately for nyc dining...but then again, neither are ali's stenchies...
91. cape cod is really sweet.
    
92. sweet to call dad.
    
93. why would he fake a burn? very strange.
94. ok. now i'm vim'ing.
    
95. if any of you know me, you know i love me some joshua radin.
    
96. like, seriously.... he's only semi-famous, but he's the only celeb/semi-celeb i'd actually want to go out with. he's so crazy talented. aaagh! i'm so jealous.
    
97. that rose tucked into the jacket is bizarre.
    
98. ouch, lawyer! why would you call rated-r out! rude!
99. naturally, rated r is wearing a black guido shirt... ew! as is kirk!
100. casey's face matches his orange shirt/tie.
101. weatherman, put DOWN the throw pillow and stop talking!
102. please, explain the depth of your depth.
103. why anyone would sing on this show when radin is on the episode is BEYOND me!
104. nothing is more painful!
105. seriously, a man serenading me (unless it's joshua radin) is SERIOUSLY my #1 turn OFF. turn off. i think dudes think because i sing on bway, i'd be into that sort of thing...but no. gross. awkward. uncomfortable. i hate it.
     
106. ooooh the stare down! niice, case.
107. oh that tat is so lame. eleven STONES! what a psycho!
108. "all you guys are diamonds on my heart!" wow. amazing.
     
109. the guys loved it?! oooh he really is delusional! he def should be with kelly.
     
110. grrrrr frank! you moment killer!

new lingo

new lingo/terms:

tee-tee: something small and wee. often used in reference to a small animal or child.
etymology: um.. i made it up. maybe it came from tiny/teeny?

i will now use tee-tee in a complete sentence:
"stellie is a tee-tee nugget."

nani: precious one.
etymology: i made it up, but some people tell me it's hawaiian for "beautiful" which i think is very cool.

i will now use nani in a complete sentence:
"stellie is a tee-tee nani. "
(her most common nickname)

ipt: intellectual property theft. when you steal verbiage or ideas from someone.
etymology: maybe i made this up too? i don't remember... or i ipt'd it...

i will now use ipt in a complete sentence:
"i love my harem! "harem" is totally ipt from subsy."

vim: vomit in mouth. completely disgusting. to be used when you see something that grosses you out so much you vomit in your mouth and swallow it again.
etymology: ipt subsy

i will now use vim in a complete sentence:
"ew! i just facebook stalked my ex, and i swear "snookie" was marking territory all over his wall. i just vim'd!"

now you're up to date.

this is dorothy.

she likes to kick her head back and fall asleep while her
daddy serenades her with billy joel and elton john's classics.

she is a tee-tee.
i love her.
and her mommy.
