sometimes i feel like this.  

Saw this yesterday while driving and pulled my car over to take a picture with my phone because it reminded me so much of this

As if you needed another reason to envy love Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks, she’s getting married to the voice of Charles ”Upchuck” Ruttheimer III from the late great Daria.

So let me see it’s pretty much Knocked Up the tv show?  

I love that she’s biting her nail coyly like “Oops we forgot to use birth control” and the bro looks like Spencer Pratt.

Yeah I don’t need to see this show.  

I will be the first to tell you that I cannot cook to save my life.  Yes, really.  If a life or death situation came up and my only means of survival was to make spaghetti and tomato sauce, I hope ya’ll throw me a lovely funeral and play Q-feels’s “Dancing in Heaven” at my ceremony.  

Having said all that, I can confidently tell you that I would still make it to the semi-finals of Top Chef.  Why?  Because the formula of making it to another round once you’re in the bottom three is simple:

BE HUMBLE AND ADMIT THAT YOU WERE WRONG.

That’s it.  

“Tom, Padma, Crankyface I know why I’m here.  You’re right.  I will use this critique moving forward.  I’m better than this.  I knew my dish would land me in the bottom 3.  I know I deserve to be in the bottom 3, but I deserve to be on this show.”

It doesn’t matter if you think your dish was the greatest thing you have ever tasted in your entire life.  Just take a breath and say, “You’re right.”

Cause if it’s between you and someone with an even worse and equally inedible dish and they admit their wrongdoings the argument Tom always makes is: But at least they KNEW they were doing something wrong.

Admit defeat.  Apologize.  Keep your knives and stay.  

Oh, and lay off the ceviche.

Why am I so bothered by Fling Chocolate, the new low calorie chocolate bar from Mars?
Is it the hot pink wrapping? The cursive fun flirty font? The fact that it looks like it should be included inside a Sex and the City DVD box sets? The fact that Fling plays into women’s guilt about indulging (or dare I say it ENJOYING) casual snacking and casual sex?

No, I think it’s the fact that we really haven’t come a long way from the cheesy Patio commercial (and ad pitches) I laughed at and shrugged off recently on Mad Men. I imagine the late into the night meetings where the Don Draper’s and Pete Campbell’s ignored the Peggy Olson as they tried to come up with a name for their new low cal snack for their 20-34 single women’s demo.

“You know we’ve done really well with selling Yoplait yogurt as the yogurt that helps you lose weight for the co-habitating woman. But we’re ignoring the fact that single women need snacks to. What could we name this that single (and wishing they were single) women everywhere will know it’s for them?”

“High heels?”
“DSW (Delicious Snack Wafer)”
“Snacks in the City?”
“The Brad Pitt”
“Gossip”
“Lifetime The Chocolate Bar for Women”
“Sassy”
“Project Snackway”
“Gay Bar”
“The Chocolate Whisperer”
“Lipgloss”
“Mani/Pedis”

I’m sure it’s a great candy bar. But on principle, I refuse to ever purchase one.
