I bought it: MICHAEL Michael Kors Gideon Sandal

I needed a new pair of heels for an event.

Yes, I do know the difference between “need” and “want.” The event in question actually had “stiletto” in its title and the invitation made it clear I’d feel dumb if I wore wedges.

I bought these:

I was nervous because – hello! – ankles. But the straps of the sandals made me feel somewhat secure.

Guess what? These shoes are actually pretty comfortable. Like any shoes, my feet hurt after a few hours and my bum ankle is never pain-free. But in the grand scheme of things, I got just what I needed from the Gideon sandal.

I like ‘em enough to buy them in black.

Note: the toe box is narrow so I went up a half-size.

Ready For Love?

Will you be watching Ready For Love when it premieres Tuesday night?

Ready

I plan to watch–even though it means being subjected to Giuliana Rancic’s blather.

I’m hoping some of my Twitter friends who watch Bachelor and Bachelorette will do so too. These shows are more fun with company whether you watch for sincere I-love-love reasons or for snark.

One of my college roommates works on Ready For Love, but alas, has not given me any juicy details.

P.S. Is it just me or do two of the three guys look like brothers in the photo above?

Proof Kerry Washington can act

You know Kerry is my girl crush.

Before Scandal and Django Unchained (which I still haven’t seen), there was Save the Last Dance. Yep, Kerry was teen mom Chenille.

Kristen Stewart and Katy Perry pose like besties

This photo from the 2013 Kids’ Choice Awards is interesting on its own. How did Kristen come to be sitting on Katy’s lap?

Via USMagazine.com

I don’t know her (obviously) but she doesn’t seem like a big lap sitter. Too much attention.

The pic becomes all the more interesting after watching this video from 2009.

Side note: I truly hope someone has educated Adrienne Bailon about the hurtful nature of the word “retarded.” Click here to learn more about the campaign to end the R word.

People are naming their babies Renesmee

It’s true: people are naming their baby Renesmee after the child Edward and Bella have in Breaking Dawn.

Can you imagine?

A blogger named Nancy called it a “car crash of a name” here. Yes, Nancy. Well put.

I love Twilight, but I would never.

Never.

What’s the worst baby name you’ve ever heard? Have you ever tried to talk someone out of naming their kid something you hated?

Sean the Bachelor

Sean Lowe still isn’t my type.

Via InTouch

Yes, Sean is fit (thanks for reminders each episode, Bachelor producers) and he seems nice enough. But kind of dull and prone to saying ‘blessed‘ all the damn time. He isn’t my cup of tea.

That said, his season to date hasn’t been nearly as boring as @aswinn predicted and I expected.

The lady drama has been interesting. And yes, I’ll admit, fun to watch.

We have Selma and her giant knockers…who won’t kiss Sean because she was raised Muslim.

There’s crazy Tierra and her dented forehead that did not happen during her stair fall or the roller derby date.

Via JunDishes and ABC

There was Katie and her WTH hair, and vet Kacie B who didn’t learn that telling the Bachelor about girl drama never ends well.

I’m pretty excited for this week’s extra drama: yep two episodes this week. Will you watch?

Twitter Spotlight: Jaclyn Swartz

Update: Jaclyn has her own hilarious blog now:

Blond Hair Don’t Care

While this post lists five reasons to love Jaclyn Swartz of Bachelor and Bachelor Pad 3 fame, there are many more than that.

Jaclyn and her zingers made me chuckle so many times during her time on TV. But whereas at the end of Ben Flajnik’s season, I never gave a thought to his happily ever after (or not), when BP3 ended, I needed to know if Jaclyn’s friendship with BFF Rachel could be saved.

[spoiler: they're besties again]
