What The Hellz?!

The Leatherette

Brittany — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 19:05:24 +0000

Most talk about how denim is the fabric of America, but in reality – that cloth is well past being old fashioned. Although it’s not necessarily a ‘fabric’ per se, leather’s roots dig far deeper in than anything else humans have put on their bodies. Year after year, leather has proved itself worthy amongst all the fibers and fabrics circulating cat walks – now that Fall is inching itself closer and closer, the need to protect ourselves from the roaring season with a fabulous pair of leather shorts (shorts are good for any type of weather…just try and prove me wrong!) becomes extremely apparent. Someone needs to kick denim off it’s high-horse and put leather up on a pedestal. NOW.

I’ve decided I hate the smell of hospitals. They always smell so…. clean. And not like that Pine-Sol clean, or that laundry clean, or that FeBreeze clean. But like, that “I can’t use bleach so I just used rubbing alcohol to clean everything” clean. It’s making me nauseated.

I’ve also decided that I hate morning sickness. Smells (and even non-smells) make me sick. Shit I used to love smelling like garlic and my mom’s perfume. I don’t understand it when people say I’m glowing because I wanna barf every 10 minutes. Is “glowing” a nice way of telling a pregnant woman that she’s pale and green and has vomit on her shoe? Hmm.

Oh and I also strongly dislike (read: hate) strangers who think it’s ok to rub my stomach because I’m pregnant. GET YOUR FILTHY, STINKY HANDS OFF OF MY GODAMN BODY YOU FREAK! Why am I so irritable? I hate that pregnancy makes you hate everything.

And while we’re on the subject of hating things, I really hate going to these ultrasound appointments solo. Where the fuck is my husband? Working, shmerking, a dude shouldn’t let the mother of his child drive solo. When I become the first female president of the United States, I’m making it a law…..

“Oh, Hi.”

This tech is really REALLY nice. She smells kind of like coffee and lavendar — if they had a baby. Just kidding. She had some kind of garlic for lunch, I can smell it. It’s very faint but its burning my nose hairs and my stomach is starting to turn. Am I green yet? Where is the nearest vomit hole – I mean – sink?

“Yeah, I’m 14 weeks now. Yes, It’s a boy.”

Isn’t all this info in my file? Someone tell Garlic Lady that I’m not a vampire, please. Oh, and that it’s not necessary to hover so close to me. You’re checking my belly and you have a long arm. This doesn’t have to be so uncomfortable to me! Sheesh. I mean, SERIOUSLY, wtf did she…

“What? I’m sorry what did you say?”
“They didn’t tell you that you were having two?”
“Two WHAT?”
“Two babies! Twins! See, here’s Twin A, and here’s Twin B”

“SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.”

I’m in shock. Twins? TWINS? Like, 2 babies? Like, more than ONE? At least I no longer want to vomit. Fuck, where is my husband?! Why is he not here? I pick up my phone and dial my husband’s cell. No answer. I call his work line…. “Sure let me get him for you.”

“Hello?”

“You know, I hate that you don’t answer your phone! And I REALLY hate that you don’t go with me to these things….. “

Aloha!! Writing this from my iPhone as I’m on my way to the Honolulu Airport. I’m currently smelling my chili chicken mix plate which is gonna SHIT on everyone else’s lunch on the plane.

Enjoying the last bit of sunshine and I just had to share my dinner from last night. After spending the day on Chun’s Reef Beach in the North Shore, we hit Ted’s Bakery for some Chocolate Haupia Creme Pie. Lo and behold the special of the day– Garlic Shrimp which made 6 grown ass women cry and put Kahuku shrimp trucks to shame. Giovanni’s, you’re fired.

Yes, that’s Parmesan on top and YES we demolished it. Go here. Eat this. The End!

Catch u guys in a different time zone! Abi and I wish u were here!!

Lessons In Life

Brittany — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:57:32 +0000

A woman goes day-to-day learning and growing from all sorts of different events in their life. Sometimes the of best lessons come from the worst of situations….but you know what? I hate to admit it, but that’s certainly necessary. Let’s talk girl-to-girl and spare some much needed advice and knowledge…shall we?

Do not wear canvas wedges to a music fest…I repeat – do NOT wear wedges to a music fest
The more make up you have on – the higher chance of melting eyeliner
He’s just not that into you…f’reals.
HELLZ goes with anything, we’ve been saying this for years!
Style is something you’re born with. Don’t take it forgranted.
If the guy at 7-11 stops carding you…we may have a problem.
Actions speak louder than words.
Don’t wait around by the phone. Go out. I promise you wont regret it.

Red Hot

Brittany — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:06:09 +0000

It’s not uncommon to get random visits from our loved ones in fashion, but when a hot-like-fire individual such as Miss Kerin Rose stomps into our office….all the surprises from the past become irrelevant and immediately we’re slapped in the face with excitement. Friday quickly became more than just the day before Labor day weekend – it became a day full of young coconut juice, equilibrium wrist bands, and Misslawn’s stories about tiny apartments in New York.

Surprises are the best…especially when they include Vietnamese food and of course – Kerin Rose.

Be sure to check out her accessory line A-Morir!
