i posted a link to the mcphee site a while back on myspace. mcphee was featured in dailycandy in the last week or so under the premise that only in america would people spend their hard earned money on crap like this. i encourage all of you to go check out this site, because it is funnny!!! random, but funny. it is a great source for gag-gifts, but there are some things that are kid-friendly.

so, what have i been up to you ask? well, to put it simply...nothing. lets be honest, that doesn't really make for an interesting blog does it?! so, i'll give it to you straight! ;)

i've been pretty moody lately, but it could have something to do with the fact that it is raining right now in nyc!!! i hate the f*cking rain! since it is raining, i have been confined to my desk. being at desk all day without Ms. Pacman*=not fun. it has been fairly slow at work, but not to the point where i am contemplating bringing in a PSP to play the new Grand Theft Auto game**...oh wait, i guess it has come to that! however, if i'm too broke to buy the PSP i am definitely too broke to get fired for playing it!

onward to plan b.

i checked my email today, and there was an email from oprah. no, i'm not trying to big time you, well maybe i am. anyways, oprah... yea so she didn't have much to say, (surprisingly) but i did join her book club today (she was practically begging). i mean, i was bored and i'm an avid reader so i thought, "yea, i will totally do it"***. i went and joined a book club for 18-24 year olds on the oprah site. oh, big surprise, there was no discussion whatsoever!! i have even read the current book, A Million Little Pieces, so i was really excited to start discussing it! i loved both, A Million Little Pieces, and My Friend Leonard. both books are amazing, and i really wanted to delve into the discussion. i thought that it would be interesting to see what people my own age thought of the book. but, then there on the oprah site the truth hit me like a truckload of bricks: people my age go to clubs, as in nightclubs, they don't go book clubs!! they definitely avoid online oprah style book clubs. it isn't that they don't read, they do, but they certainly have more going on in their lives than a stupid book club. that is when the realization hit me: i am a 23 year old loser!!! see, thanks OPRAH!!! now that really puts me in bad mood!!!

i really admire the committed bloggers out there. i, clearly, have been neglecting this page. not that anyone reads it... ...well, that's not the point. the point is i've been slacking on my blogging and i owe my imaginary readers an appology. among other things, i have been distracted by the enticing television premiere lineups and organizing my itunes library...an ongoing struggle. so, i thought, you know i never have anything interesting going on in my life so i should just write about how boring my life is. maybe, that will make it more intriguing?!?!? yes! why should i head in an alternate direction now? this blog was created out of boredom, and i know as well as anyone that in order to keep it real you have to remember your roots. right?! so there you have it my commitment to you (hello, in writing!) that no matter how boring my life is...i'm going to tell you all about it!...lucky you...happy reading! luawgbl.

i was inspired to write the platinum blonde life blog upon moving from chicago to the fabulous city that is nyc. while this blog lacks a central theme, it revolves around fashion, art, nyc events, and of course shopping! these are all the things i love. my personal goal as a 24 year old who has recently entered the "real world" and just so happens to reside in ny, is to live as fabulously as possible! ( i mean, we all know i'm no carrie bradshaw, but a girl always needs something to aspire too and a closet full of fabulous shoes can't be THAT bad if you ask me.)

i love hearing from all of you. so please take the time to shoot me a quick email, or post a comment. it makes my day everytime! (even if you totally disagree with me)!
if you would like to guest blog email me! also, if you link to my fabulous blog i just might transform into a giddy school girl!
