Shoe fly, don't bother me


I love shoe shopping. I mean, who doesn't? But I'll tell you what I'm NOT a fan of: coming home with an adorable pair of heels only to be denied the parental stamp of approval. Now let me be clear: I don't buy footwear that I can't walk in. I steer clear of stilettos and shoes with skinny heels, because, well, I don't enjoy falling flat on my face. But somehow, my practical, well thought-out purchases still fail to impress the folks. If only I walked in wearing some of the shoes in this post! I don't think I'd ever hear the end of it. Honestly, anyone who gives these a second look is insane.

Friday

You can't make friends with salad.


Miley Cyrus has got to be one of the most well known, richest people of her age. But the fame comes with a price. Sure, she may be idolized by seven to eleven year olds. But most everyone else has some kind of grudge against her. Some choose to throw darts at Hannah Montana posters. Others take it out creatively. Case in point: this parody of her ridiculously overdone music video for her song 7 Things. Even if you're a fan, you can still appreciate the humor behind the video. Haven't seen the original?

Superfluous super flues


Another vid from Improv Everywhere. Don't call me obsessed, they're awesome. In this one, they deliver a big surprise to two little league baseball teams, the Lugnuts and Mudcats, by transforming a standard game into the Major Leagues. Such games are usually attended by only a few parents, but here they were encouraged by dedicated screaming fans who'd come prepared with face paint, posters, and nicknames and chants for each player. As if this wasn't exciting enough, out came the mascots, the jumbotron, the Good Year blimp, and the NBC sports newscasters. The ten year olds weren't quite sure what was going on, but they weren't about to complain. "The rest of the season will be boring compared to this" expressed one coach. So fun!
