Carly will be missed!

Last Week American Idol bid a farewell to my favorite contestant Carly Smithson.

I'm now debating whether or not I will continue watching the rest of the season...

Baby Love!

My love for 50s glam is undeniable! Starting May 13 through October 19, the Victoria & Albert Museum in conjunction with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will honor the great (non princess) Diana, Mary, and Forence. All of the ever-so-glam threads of the Supremes will be on display for your enjoyment- if you are lucky enough to view!

Concert Alert: Virgin Mobile

The third Virgin Mobile Festival, is being held August 9-10 at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Headliners include- Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails and Stone Temple Pilots.

The interesting part about all of this is- It is one of the largest 'green' music festivals in the States. While there may be a lot green in the audience- Virgin Mobile hosts a wonderfully eco-friendly event that's light on carbon impact but heavy on the rock and roll.

check out the official festival website at- http://www.virginmobilefestival.com/ - to sign up for news and updates.

Saturn Bath

I really love this color & design

this deservese to be a little clocky

How many times have you been late to work/school beacuse you've unknowinlgy hit the snooze button in your zombie-like state of mind? This alarm clock runs away and hides to get you out of bed. Initially "Clocky" gives you one chance to get up, But if you snooze- it will roll off your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide, beeping all the while....forcing you to get out of bed to silence the alarm.

$65 and offered in assorted colors
