Live Blogging the Vicky S '08 Show

We may be in a recession, but you'd never know as Victoria's Secret pulled out all the stops for their annual fashion show. This year, they've whisked the Angels out of the City of Angels and planted them in South Beach where the days are hot and the nights are hotter. As I watched the show, I jotted down my thoughts so I thought I'd share them with you. And yes, I did this for the past hour instead of working on my PowerPoint for tomorrow's presentation. Procrastination at its finest ...


*** work it Selita ***

Usher - ?/Yeah Medley – love Heidi stealing Usher’s hat
Who is Victoria? What’s her secret? “If I told you Victoria’s Secret, there would be no secret.” – Yay Selita!!!
Jorge Moreno: congas ... wow
The Miracle Bra – Guaranteed to Make Hearts Beat … lol
Alessandra … didn’t she just have a baby in August? Whoa!
Why’s Diddy standing up for Selita??? OMG ;-)
Miranda’s foot's bleeding … oh no! ... Vicky S Angels can make blood look glamorous and sexy lol
Pickup lines ... "If I was in your hamburger, I’d be the new McGorgeous." Oh boy
I love how they throw in some dating tips
The Pink Runway plan, lol.
I want to work for Vicky S
Love the Ting Tings “That’s Not My Name” Remix
Why’s Martha Stewart there?
That girl looks like Irina.
Kisses … big hugs -- note 2 self: must get those!
Love Karolina singing along to “That’s Not My Name”
They’re still showing the Heidi-“Santa Baby” commercial
I want to work for Vicky S
Usher … Selita challenging Usher to a dance-off lol
Why are they playing Chris Brown? This better be a remix
This is a weird remix … love the people in the background
Flower petals … wow … makes the scene dreamy … but that sucks if you’re allergic to flowers
Fantasy bra … $5 million worth of diamonds
Kanye West “Love Lockdown” – cool remix … work it Selita … aaah!!!

Noemie Lenoir needs a new pose ... then again, it's her trademark :-)
Here comes Adriana!!! Viva Brasil!

Did John Stamos suddenly become more interested as Adriana made her way down the runway???
These Vicky S girls are so hip … they know every song
Is it just me or does the camera always seems to capture everything perfectly in sexy slow motion
Marissa Miller and I have the same birthday!
Hey, no tripping mishaps yet ... I think
Loving Heidi’s sequined red bow <3 was that the surprise she mentioned in the show-commercial transition thingy (the technical name for it ... obviously lol)
Oh no, Karolina’s zipper’s not closing … will they fix it in time … suspense builds as we wait
Hey, it’s Vanessa from Gossip Girl!
Oh fireworks, that’s the big surprise
That went by too quickly
Until next year … who knows, maybe I’ll be working for them then … I hope ... oh wait, I'll still be in school then ... hmm, internship anyone? hopefully it's not in Ohio like last year :-/
“Thank you. That’s a wrap.”

10 Essentials :: Shari Style

I was going through my old emails (and making way for new ones) and came across a Men.Style.com newsletter. They always do a feature called 10 Essentials. I decided to come up with a list of my own 10 essentials. What are yours?

(1) NYC

I know I'm going to work and live there. For now I'll just play there.



(2) H&M

I love H&M! The designers are geniuses, the clothes are amazing, and the prices are great. What more could you ask for in a store?



(3) Red velvet cake

Whenever I see red velvet anything, I have to buy it. The best red velvet cupcake is made by Crumbs Bake Shop. And the best red velvet variation is Junior's Red Velvet Layer cake. The layers are all cheesecake! How cool is that?



(4) Vitamin Water ... XXX & Energy

I only started drinking Vitamin Water since I bought the Sex and the City movie last month. Yay for subliminal messages. Anyway, my two favorite flavors are XXX with pomegranate, acai, and blueberry (triple the antioxidants, get it) and Energy. I think Energy really does perk you up. I drank it before and during my advertising class and I was wide awake. Not even one yawn.




(5) Twitter

I joined Twitter at the end of July so I could combat office boredom, and now I'm addicted. Isn't that Twitterific? Follow me :: twitter.com/bsharilb



(6) Victoria's Secret

When you want a bra, why not get it from the best.



(7) Britney Spears

I don't care if she's crazy. I don't care if she lip syncs. Every Britney album is better than the last and Circus should be no different.

(8) Gummy headphones

I go through headphones like a frat boy goes through beer. I'm guessing. I always have headphones in my ears and I've spent hundreds on them over the past 10 years. So far, the Gummies are the only ones that last long. (And by long I mean more than 3 months.)




(9) Sarah Morrison

Whenever I say the name Sarah Morrison, a "who?" often follows from my friends and family. For those of you who don't know, Sarah is a blogger who is kind of famous from the internet. Her weekly Best Week Ever blogs are the best and she has a great sense of style. Now she works for MissBehave magazine.



(10) 1965 Shelby AC Cobra GT 427 Roadster

I first saw this car in Charlie's Angels Full Throttle. I don't know why I'm drawn to it, but I just am. One day I'll own it. A girl can dream.
