I finished “Mockingjay” yesterday. I feel like my world is falling down. By my world I mean Panem. What do I do now? Did it really end the way it did? Ugh, I can’t ruin it for you stubborn people out there who won’t start reading. But it’s time. Suzanne Collins, you were my girl. What were you thinking? I’m so sad. Write another one, please? I need it!!! Miss you, Katniss. I guess Jennifer Lawrence can pretend to be you for a few films? I guess I’ll deal.

Now I’m starting “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell” by Tucker Max. Wow, he’s an asshole. But at least he knows it. He know how to keep me entertained on my commute. Cool chapter I read yesterday on the train, Tuck. The woman next to me read over my shoulder on our way home. We both learned about the girl who burped after she gave you a blowjob. Awkward. My mom tried to get me to read “50 Shades of Grey” but I thought it’d be too sexual to read in public. Oops. Guess I’ll read that one next…

I actually hate kids. But check out these Thuggets: Thug Nuggets.

Chelsea Handler, don’t try to steal this term. I have my eye on you.

I wanna eat them up. They look like deep fried chicken nuggets (a term I use when someone is extra nugget-y and super delicious).

As a normal nugget (not Thug), I have an appreciation for small things. Check out these other teeny tiny finds.

Can I have an extra extra small Tall Orange Mocha Frappuccino!

Kicks for Thuggets.

Honey, I shrunk the soda. Do you think it has less calories? Now I wanta Fanta.

Converse for nugget feet. Awkward, that’s probably my size.

Talk about a feast. Hey, it’s Franklin!

Everyone loves cute, tiny things. Don’t we all wish we were size 8 Juicy terry cloth pants again? Is that just me?

Small, Small Smooches,

Focus on: Kisses

Lipstick, in my world, has been all the rage for a few years now. Bright Barbie pinks, deep sultry reds, even a dark magenta. Most people comment when I wear a solid colored lipstick, but imagine what they’d say if I wore one of these? Check out these awesome pictures of sexy kissies. Just don’t get lippy with me.

Bright pink. Mwa.

Perfect for V-Day.

If only I had this for Dayglow…

Talk about sweet kisses. Are those pits okay to swallow?

So Harajuku.

Rawr.

Panda-licious. So cute! But don’t try this one at home.

Cheetah chic. Want to try something like this at home? Try ordering one of these Violent Lip Temporary Tattoos. Kendall and Kylie Jenner did it, so that obviously means they’re super hot right now.

Yummy.

Bejeweled. Are those Swarovski? I wonder if they peel off like Carrie Bradshaw’s bejeweled cell phone. Want to see another version of this? Check out my Twitter background. And follow me while you’re at it.

Smooches,

brookitaa

PS Be careful with when you choose to wear a splash of color on your luscious lips – someone might just want to kiss it all off. Smudgy…

So if you don’t keep up with my other writing, you have no idea about my obsession with Suzanne Collins’ series The Hunger Games. It’s amazing. If you’ve been dead for the past few weeks that means you haven’t seen the movie. It’s time. Go see it. But first, read the book.

Anyway, here are some awesome pics I found relating to my true love: The Hunger Games.

Girl on Fire. Will these melt my iPhone?

May the odds be ever in your favor!

It’s funny because it’s true.

I realized something amazing today. Arrows=Hunger Games+Pi Beta Phi. My two favorite things in the world come together into a trendy, awesome, epic story. Thanks, Katniss. You kick ass.

Are these gluten free? Katniss, expect these from District 14 (the newest District in Panem) during the next Games. You’re welcome.

This is unreal. Imagine opening your Oreo and finding a mockingjay shaped cream center. Ugh, you gluten-full people get to have all the fun. But OMG, if only.

Team Peeta? Really? Cute name. Let’s keep the name morphing to the Brangelinas of the world. But you still look cute, Joshy.

This is problem 6? Really? I hope problem 1 is what happens if they have to go number 2. I always wondered that when I watched Survivor…

TOMS you always know how to put the universe back at peace. So altruistic. Thank you.

Do they sell these at Apple? Or at those ghetto movable trolleys at the mall? Either way, I want need one.

Get it, Catnip. We know you’re hungry.

I actually think you’d die while having a drink with Haymitch.

But really, this is me. I’m the worst sharer ever. ESPECIALLY when it comes to food. No, you can’t have a bite. Back off.

Titanic 3D comes out today. I was too young to see it in theaters when it came out so I can’t wait to finally see it on the big screen. But I don’t understand – we get to see Leo looking damn cute and then we’ll see a current picture of him on a yacht rather than a cruise ship? Umm…

Is it just me or did his entire head triple in size? Oh well, you still have my heart, Jack.

What I Want

Literally all I’m craving is fresh fruit. I don’t even like fruit. Who wants to take the time to cut me cute little hearts? Maybe I’ll actually eat something healthy then. The watermelon in St. Louis is missing sugar and water. It’s like a bad chaser. Mmm, summertime fruit in NY – can’t wait.

Focus On: Braids

“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your long hair!” We all remember R’s braid that stretched for hundred of feet/yards (I’ve always had spatial issues…) and eventually brought her savior and new boy toy to her rescue. They shared dinner, and dessert, and they all lived happily ever after. Everyone should grow their hair in just like Rappy! Seriously?

Hell no. No one’s had hair this long in years, unless they can’t afford toilet paper and all they have is their locks. Gross. But all joking aside, braids are the chicest of the chic.

Hair braids can make you look effortlessly awesome, beachy, laid back, hot, diva, and anything else you can think of. Long day ahead? Throw on an off-the-should shirt like this chick did and braid your long locks to the side.

Big event? A long, thick braid down the center of your back can make you look important and sexy. PS I want this dress…

If you want to look a little more girly, make two braids with a middle part and pin them together in the back. True story: I once did my hair like this (on my own, uy) in the 4th grade. Ms. Mendel told me I looked like a hippie. I thought I looked Diva Chic. I was either behind the times or ahead. It was 2001. I was a natural-ish blonde back then.

I obviously single-handedly inspired LC. Check out the wannabe here. Ugh. One side braid. She couldn’t even handle both of them. Whatever. This picture was taken AFTER I rocked this look to Junior Prom as a sophomore. I was a nugget/Facebook whore back then and had the most golden locks in all of the land. Check it.

You can suck it, LC. Mine’s better because it has a side part. And that’s an M Missoni shirt that I wore as a dress. Obviously skinnier than you are, Lauren “Laguna Beach” Conrad. JK I used to love you pre-Hills. But why didn’t you go to college? Like, get an education. Beauty Fashion School Drop Out…

Feeling precious? Throw a bow on the bottom of your side braid. Want more bows? Check out the Focus I did on them here. This is super British, too. Remember Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging? They def wore this look on the weekend when they didn’t have to wear their school uniform beret.

And finally, if you feel like frolicking in an open field with your bestie or sister (or both), try this look. Can you say inseparable? Hope you don’t get into a fight and try to run away from each other. Ouch.

Okay, have other stuff to do.

Braids, Blondies, and Barbie,

brookitaa

Fun fact: I can’t braid my own hair. Or anyone else’s for that matter. My braiding career started and ended in pre-school when we braided challah for Shabbat.

Currently sitting in my Feature Article Writing class and we just read this article. There’s scientific evidence as to why Adele’s single, “Someone Like You” makes people cry. Seriously? We all know it’s just because of her British accent. “Fank you.”

What I Want

Bronze, diva chic, Jeffrey Campbell, love, wedgies, what i want, Zealous

I’ve had my eyes on these for awhile, and I think it’s about time I get them. Jeffrey Campbell, I love you. Metallic, wedge, tassle, back lace. Get on my teencey toes now, please. Jeffy’s Zealous in Bronze is what I want. Like, now. I’m jealous of anyone who has these Zealous wedgies. I would ask to borrow them, but your feet are probably not as clean as mine.

Would You Be My Friend If…

I did a rendition of Nicki’s Roman performance at the Grammy’s?

I just didn’t get it. But she definitely felt pretty, and needs to take her medication. What about her red carpet outfit?

I mean, I guess I’d be her friend because she seemed really cool until Sunday night, but if I were Lady Gaga she’d be on my enemy list. Cool matching white platinum hair and outrageously strange outfits. But thanks for not arriving in an egg.

Nicki, I miss your colored locks and tight jumpsuits that accentuated your Queens booty. I’d be your friend a few months ago. Didn’t your mother ever tell you that your hair’s the wrong shade when it is equal to or lighter than your skin? You’re kinda dark so I think white is the wrong shade. Jealous, I’d never be allowed to go platinum blonde. But thanks for not going gray like Kelly Osbourne.

Then again, she’s BFF with Miley Cyrus. Can you say, “salvia?”
