Whitney's 18th

Little miss whitney nugget whittles cootsiepie whitnit nittles nielson is 18 today!

Here is a condensed list of reasons of why she should be celebrated:

1) She puts a watering can behind her door every night with an upside down heel
as her personal security system.
2) She no longer parts her hair in the middle or insists on wearing Old Navy truck shirts
3) She is one of the most charismatic people I know. It is impossible to dislike her.
4) She is a fabulous volleyball player and has better abs than I ever will
5) She has an impeccable taste in music and can secretly sing..even if she purposely sings the men's part in church to distract me
6) She once carried a "lightweight vacuum" around the house to ward off the intruders she thought she heard
7) She is the wittiest of the Nielson clan
8) She will eat sushi and ben & jerry's in one sitting with me
9) Her head is most definitely a square. Ask her, she'll be happy to show you the four corners
10) She is gorgeous and most definitely my favorite sister

We love you Whit! Happy Birthday Nug!

Sundance Pick

"September Issue" is premiering at Sundance this weekend and, thus, I will be waiting in 2 degree weather on Saturday morning in Park City at 8 AM to try to get tickets.
It is a documentary that is based on months leading up to the publishing of the September 2007 edition of Vogue-it weighed five pounds and is the largest single edition of a magazine ever printed.

That's all fine and good, but I really just want to see Ms. Anna Wintour (editor-in-chief) go psycho. This woman is notoriously a tyrant and I want to see her go bat-shizz crazy. Anything less will not be worth my money.

Lauren Weisberger interned with Ms. Wintour and subsequently wrote the Devil Wears Prada and based Miranda Priestly on her lovely boss. The woman is certifiable.

If you would like to see my comprehensive list of Sundance movies that have celebrities in them, along with the locations and screening times and premiere times, please see me, or the blue sticky notes in my purse. This is also known as my guide to stalking celebrities at Sundance.
I have no life.

I can spot 'em..

..from a mile a way. Mormon weddings that is.

Where there's a sleeved bridesmaid, there's a Mormon wedding. Here's a few I've spotted lately.


Andrea and Brian. Spain infused details. California.


Alison and Eric. Bird obsessed, yellow and purple. California.

These dresses are straight nast..but once again, with the sleeves.

Lexy and Jared. Vintage pastel prom. California.


All via the fabulous snippet & ink.

People's Choice Awards

Katherine Heigl was my personal favorite at the People's Choice Awards last night, and she didn't even have to shave her legs.

She said she wore the pantsuit because she

didn't want to wear anything strapless or anything she had to suck in her stomach for.

The holidays will do that to you. If we're judging by that standard, I should be wearing a burka right now.

Did I mention?

..I'm wearing this to school today to protest. I'm not sure what I'm protesting, but the fickle weather gods seem to be my main target.

Lovely

This woman's house is lovely. She is one of Cookie Magazine's best house tours of the year.

Unacceptable

Is this some sort of sick joke? And the worst part is, the meteorologists are dirty, filthy liars. It's like 8 degrees outside. And this darling little graphic doesn't show the ten inch snow drifts, or the brown slush on the roads, or the numb feet, or the snow-matted hair, or the impossibilities of driving up hills, or the absolute TORTURE that is Utah winters.

****
This morning I realized that my 9:00 class was on the other side of campus. So, I dropped it. I straight up dropped a class because I didn't want to walk down four flights of stairs in the snow. Clearly, my productivity as an adult would be in serious jeopardy if I were to live in a cold climate after school..ain't happenin.

I'm whining, I recognize this. But this is truly foul. Did I mention that our heat and hot water aren't turned on yet? Oh, and I officially eat my words.
