Can I take a moment...

To show appreciation for my new style icon?
Her name is Renny and you don't know her because she's on a reality show that only looser reality tv nerds watch, Big Brother.

Despite the obvious handicaps of being on a CBS, summer, reality show, my muse, Renny, (too many commas? I can never tell) NEVER misses a chance to make every moment a borderline costume party.

The best thing about her is that she has the perfect look for EVERY activity. For instance this picture above, coffee and a little game talk?
I wouldn't naturally go for taupe leopard print caftan and a pink doo rag, but it's perfection!
Now get her 2 sugars and a little non dairy creamer!

About to be evicted from the house?? Time to make a good impression, and she is looking hot in her purple flapper dress purchased from the olde tyme photography shoppe.






For hanging off a fake tilting wall for a few hours, what else?
Black spandex? Check! Shiny blue animal/floral print mini dress? Check! Local fire department baseball cap? Check!
How did she fail to win this challenge??


Actually these pictures don't even begin to describe her sartorial awesomeness. All the weirdos who do screen grabs (including cbs.com) are so busy waiting for the Hooter's waitress to bend over in a bikini, that they're missing the best stuff! I swear she had one outfit, complete with head band and sunglasses, that was all different acid washed, pink denims.

I'll search out what screen grabs I can and bring you more in the future!

Update! Renny was head of household this week (don't worry about what that is) so they couldn't help but get some photos of her, here's some good ones:
For cutting Dan's hair, a festive multi-colored hair pouf with matching magenta cat glasses and silky top.







And the best yet the festive Mexican top with the bizarrely out of proportion rose. Don't forget the pearl encrusted hoops!!
Yay Renny!

So embarassed

I think I've said before that one of the ways I augment my cash flow is by participating in paid market research groups. It's hit or miss but they typically pay out $100 for an hour or 2 which is obvi great. Unless you make that much hourly from your real job, in which case you should think about buying me some drinks.

Tonight I was in one to test a text messaging game that you could play in real time while you're watching this season's Big Brother. Yes I watch a lot of reality tv, but you should know that among hard core reality tv viewers, Big Brother is king. The fans are completely and totally rabid and I would usually not advertise the fact that I walk among them. So it was a very strange feeling to be in a room filled with 15 of them.

First of all they made everyone wear a name badge which also had the name of their favorite BB winner. As soon as I sat down the guy next to me, looked at me, said, "Lisa?" made a scoffing noise and said, "everyone here is in the Dr. Will camp so you're out numbered."
Hello to you too, sir.

After some bizaro talk about who likes Julie Chen and which former house guests have been in gay porn they showed a sample episode and had us play the text game. I'm embarassed to say I was waaaaaaaay ahead for the whole time, completly enraging the comic book guy looking guy. Fortunately/unfortunately I was beat out in the last 2 questions by this other bitch.

It all ended happily though when they handed me my check. Yay money!!
