Whoa.

theviesociety:

OMFG.

The hot Husby & I dated up last night to catch The Book of Mormon on Broadway.

And I almost have no words

except

HolyBallsofBrilliance!

It’s not for everybody, I will concede

(there’s more than a little vulgarity)

but it’s totally bizarre, I mean TOTALLY BIZARRE

and so shockingly hilarious that Husby cried, he laughed so hard.  Many times, in fact.

Also super-star-brilliant?

The show’s gorgeous, uber-talented female lead Nikki James (who apparently reads this shitcan blog).

Lady, it was truly an honor

to be in your audience last night.

Thank you.

[PS Congratulations to Nikki for her Best Actress Tony nomination & to the entire show for 14 noms!]

I don’t know.  We’re all frauds.  I saw you many days running around Fashion Week and YOU LOOKED GORGEOUS.  in person.  you are beautiful.

Going through Fashion Week photos to find some that are fit for publication … and I can’t stop wondering when this whole “peace with one’s appearance” thing starts.  Because I’m certainly not happy with mine, and I’m frustrated with my feelings about it.  I’m tired of feeling insecure, tired of feeling “not quite …” enough. Not quite pretty enough, not quite thin enough, not quite _[fill in the blank]_ enough.

My college roommate called me up the other day, and commented that she thought I had lost weight, per some of my most recent photos.  And I laughed, because I felt like a fraud.  Maybe I’ve lost three or four pounds, I don’t know. I don’t really weigh myself.  But I also take dozens and dozens of photos - and I post only a handful, maybe less.  Plus, I’m wearing makeup, hair extensions, six-inch heels which elongate my legs, on which I’ve smeared bronzer.  I have on expensive jewelry, a borrowed designer dress and - probably - a push-up bra.  I’m standing at the most flattering angle and I’ve probably fiddled with the exposure on the camera so the flash blows out any other flaws.  If I knew how to photoshop, I’d probably do that too. In other words: IT’S NOT REAL.

I just point this out because … I don’t know why.  I suppose it makes me feel slightly guilty, all these carefully curated photos.  Are they me?  I don’t know.  Sometimes I wish we lived in a world without cameras.  (Yes, I realize the irony of me saying that.)  It might eliminate the whole “self-scrutiny” problem.  Probably.  ;)

A few days ago, reader Luisa sent me a recipe for something that she calls “Crack Pasta.” Obviously it went straight to the top of my must-try recipe list. (That’s me consulting Luisa’s email while stirring the delicious-smelling sauce.)

So…let’s introduce a new feature: Reader Recipes! If you have a recipe you want me to test out (I can’t promise that I’ll, you know, not accidentally destroy it or something…but that’s part of the fun!) send it to jordan@ramshackleglam.com with the subject “Reader Recipe.”

Try to keep it relatively simple and inexpensive, because getting to the eating part quickly and with minimum expenditure is generally my goal.

[Life: Make] Peppermint Bark

Ingredients

• 14 oz. of white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips (use the good stuff, guys!)
• 6 regular sized candy canes, crushed up
• 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract

Break up peppermint candy into little pieces. Melt the chocolate according to the instructions on the box. Once melted, add the peppermint extract and stir.

Pour the melted chocolate (I like to layer white on top of dark but you could do any type of chocolate of course!) out onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and spread with a spatula. Sprinkle the peppermint candy chunks on to the chocolate and gently press  in with yours hands.

Place in the freezer for 5 minutes or until hardened. Break into pieces and serve or store in the fridge or a tupperware (or gift them in a cute holiday tin!)

sara would love to eat this!!

Today, December 1st, is World AIDS Day.

Some ways you can take action:

- Get tested for HIV (I’ve been tested, and I encourage all of you to do the same). Go here for a list of free and confidential NYC-area clinics.

- Decide not to engage in high-risk behaviors and learn how to protect yourself.

- Talk about HIV prevention with family and friends.

- Provide support to people living with HIV/AIDS (go to the GMHC website to learn how get involved).
