Thing 1: Cultured Butter
Okay, I can't actually GIVE you cultured butter, but a few people asked about it after I mentioned it in a recent post. As I mentioned then, Jonniker brought it into my life through the magic of Twitter, and I am eternally grateful. It's made from fermented cream, and through the magic of...culturing(?), you get a butter that has a much richer and more...buttery flavor. Yes. It's really good, to the point that I was tempted to, um, put some on a spoon and eat it. Alone. I didn't, because that's deeply gross, but the point is, I considered it.
Thing 2: My Phone Case
When I recently posted my Fake Wig Saga, a few people also asked about my blinged-out phone case visible in some of the shots. I actually received the phone case as a gift from a company my husband works with. Once they so generously offered to make one up for me, my friend Kate allowed me to "borrow" this design of hers for the phone case decoration, and voila:
It's Swarovski crystal-encrusted, and basically belongs in the hands of anyone on Cribs who has ever uttered the words "This is where the magic happens." But! Let this be a lesson to you: Ordinarily, I probably wouldn't have pick something like this out in a store, but I have fallen in serious love with this case (clearly, since I use it every day). It's a total conversation starter (I've literally gotten stopped in the street by people inquiring about it), and I smile every time I look at it. Seriously, sometimes a little bedazzling in your life is a good thing.
Thing 3: ZOMFG KIRSTIE!11!!
Are you following Kirstie Alley on Twitter? No? DO IT. You're welcome. (To give credit where it is due, Stefanie brought her into my life, and I must now pay it forward.) Like most people, I generally loathe celebrity Twitterers, but she is like someone's dotty great aunt, or something. I may have called her "a TREASURE" to her (Twitter)face last night. She calls her followers SWEET CRESCENT MOONS, for crissakes. I'm not made of stone.
Thing 4: The Game is Afoot, Charney!
We all know how I feel about American Apparel. And if perchance we don't all know that, the answer is: "consistently enraged." (Though in the interest of full disclosure, I do love their baby basics, like karate pants, and staples, such as t-shirts, tanks, and not, you know, HIGH-WAISTED GOLD SPARKLING HOTPANTS.)
Seeing as how I have no apparent problem taking terrible and unflattering pictures of myself lately, I passed the American Apparel store today and thought to myself, "it is HIGH TIME I actually try on some of the abject fug that passes for clothing up in this piece." Behold!
Up first, please feast your eyes on a backless one-size-fits-all tunic, complete with blousing and extra-long fringe!
Next, can I interested you in some hot pink shredded leggings? Perfect for working out. Let me hear your body talk, people!
There's a special place in hell for this next garment, which manages to cut the wearer in EVERY. SINGLE. UNFLATTERING. SPOT. ON. THE. HUMAN. FORM. It's kind of impressive, actually. Observe:
Finally, I bring you Barbie Dress. I hope you like my side ponytail! I'm acting all shy and demure, but you just KNOW I'm itching to hop into my Ferrari and head off to the Dream House with Skipper.
This little exercise actually helped my rage dissipate somewhat, and so, I would very much like it to be Part I of an occasional series, entitled "WTF, AmApp?!" That is, assuming they don't catch wind of me and ban me, my children, and my children's children from their stores in perpetuity. Fingers crosssssed!
Okay!
Now I feel sufficiently satisfied to ask you for your help. I need guidance on the following.
1. I've started drinking gin, since it screams "summer" to me. However, what is there to do with it besides mix it with tonic? What do YOU do with it?
2. My brother's wedding is rapidly approaching, and my dress is almost done. Said dress will require a good strapless bra. For those among you whom God has NOT truly blessed in the, uh, maraca department--if you know what I mean, and I think that you do--what (padded) strapless bra would you recommend that won't have me ducking into corners to hoist up My Business every twelve seconds at the blessed event? Because I want to dance and mingle and celebrate, and not have to worry about The Hoisting of Business.
3. Er, also regarding said wedding...where would one find tiny, ballet-like flats for a baby? I just last week realized I needed to find black tuxedo shoes for T, and let me tell you, THAT is not an easy thing to find, and so you'd think I'd have realized that Lo needed some sort of footwear for this thing to go with her fancy-ass dress, but no, so I--OH GOD MY MOM AND FUTURE SISTER-IN-LAW READ MY BLOG. EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL, LADIES! I'M ON TOP OF MY GAME AND WHATNOT, AND TOTALLY DIDN'T ALMOST HAVE BAREFOOT CHILDREN AT THE WEDDING.
Uh, anyway, I'm having a shocking amount of difficulty locating this particular style online, and so, I turn the question over to you, in the event any of you have some good leads.
Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer!

well, generally i lurk but... alcohol i can assist with.
sippin' on gin and juice bay-bay! gin and ANYTHING you would put vodka with - but oddly enough one of the best summer combinations? gin and cheapcheapcheap! cherry-limeade. it is addictive. or blood orange soda. and many ice cubes to deal with the ungodly-hot part.
the baby shoes... you're on your own, sorry?
http://robeez.com/Robeez-Soft-Soles-Classic-MJ-Bow-black-Robeez-baby-shoes/product.aspx?ProductID=954&deptid=313&PriceCat=2&Lang=EN-US
They come in pink too!
Gin belongs in a French 75. That is, mixed with champagne and lemon juice. Seriously, amazing.
Also? Your pictures provide me more entertainment than is probably reasonable. You basically live out, in real life, the monologues I keep contained in my brain.
Check out this site: http://www.cutebabyshoes.com/ for shoes. I have no kids, but my aunt and sister swear by it.
1. I don't drink gin, but my mother-in-law mixes it with grapefruit juice.
2. The bra: I'm also under-endowed in the maraca department, and I'm convinced that there are no good, padded strapless bras out there. My advice is to go to Nordstrom's, get a good strapless bra that you don't feel like you need to hoist every 5 seconds, and then get some of those "add a cup size" inserts. Stuff your bra, and voila. You're welcome.
3. The shoes: Pedipeds. Or, if your baby girl isn't walking yet & you just want the illusion of cute baby shoes, go with the Trumpette socks. (The bonus with the socks is that you can reuse them; Catie wore them daily when she was a baby because OMG the cuteness.)
GAP has ridiculously adorable pink ballet slippers for babies if that color goes with the ensemble (they MIGHT be pink and black though, so hopefully that still works).
Well, gin is the traditional ingredient in a martini, mixed with vermouth. We have the phrase "vodka martini" precisely to differentiate the vodka-based drink from the original. Should be about a 4:1 ratio of gin to vermouth.
Also the Tom Collins--gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup & soda water.
Holy crap. I couldn't NOT comment- you just had me laughing out loud too many times! I just don't have anything to add except to tell you that!
I'm a huge fan of gin, but sometimes I do get tired of tonic so I've started drinking gin and lemonade...I think it's a fantastic summer drink (as mentioned above also works well with other citrus - lime and grapefruit). Plus then I like to sing about sippin' on gin and juice cause I'm cool like that.
Etsy should be able to solve your baby shoe woes. I just typed in "baby ballet flat," and up popped 320 results!
You're on your own with the gin, though... it reminds me of orchestra academy! (Which was indeed as dorky as it sounds!)
Just before I read this post I saw this: http://www.seriouseats.com/2009/08/the-bartenders-gin-compedium-cocktails-books-reviews.html
You really should make regular visits to AA for our amusement.
I love gin. Have you tried a gin fizz? Or a Tom Colins? They're both sweet drinks. I also like gin and soda and gin with ginger ale is nice (especially with a spicy ginger ale). Then there's the gin sour... I like classic cocktails, can you tell?
Then there's the French 75 if you want to break open a bottle of bubbly. There are a zillion recipes for all of these online.
I like a gin gimlet... just gin and lime juice (usually Rose's lime, but fresh is good, too, if you add sugar or simple syrup).
On the bra, I recently took a trip to Nordstrom and had the sales lady fit me for a strapless for my wedding dress. She ran back and forth a million times to get me different stuff, and it made it way easier than doing it myself. I ended up with a Chantelle Sensua (ohh la la!)which she said is one of the most popular. It comes with convertible straps, too.
Aren't you in NYC like me? Go to Townshop! It's the only place that I can shop, cuz I have an F cup. Don't hate. I'd share if that was an option! But seriously, that store has some quality Business holders
I can help you with the first one, but not the others, since a.) no kids, and b.) quite blessed in the "business" department...lol.
But the gin...and PLEASE tell me you're drinking Bombay Sapphire...it's the only way to go! I am a diet tonic/extra lime kind of girl, but I've recently discovered the wonder that is gin and Fresca! Soooo, so delicious, especially in the summer. :-)
Gin and soda with a squeeze of lime. Period. Once you get off the tonic, you can never go back! I was recently at a restaurant and ordered a Hendricks Gin and soda... they suggested adding some cucumber slices and though I was suspect, I did it anyway. HOLY COW AWESOME. And talk about a summertime drink.
Gin and cranberry juice.
BArtenders will give you the crazy person look, but it's good. Also effective for improving your bladder health! Win! Win!
Ooh, you have to try a Gin Rickey. It's one of my favorites, but it's especially good in the summer because it's so refreshing.
I second the suggestion of cucumbers, and my most favorite delicious gin drink involves muddling mint and cucumbers, adding gin and lime, shaking, straining, and serving either up or adding soda and ice. HOLY COW DELICIOUS.
Also, Tom Collins, and fresh gimlets. White Lady is also delicious: 2 parts gin to one part each lemon juice and cointreau.
Unfortunately, I only have suggestions in the bra department. I'd go with a stick on bra. Yes, they were invented for the backless, strapless dress, but they are seriously the most comfortable things ever. You don't have to worry your bra will fall down, and you're covered in every situation. Plus, they tend to add a little padding, which I always consider a plus when you don't have straps to help out. There's the fancy NuBra, or you can go with the Target knock-off that comes in A, B and C.
Similar issue with a bra for a wedding (and similarly unblessed in the maracas) -- I found the Victoria's Secret convertible bra to work well and be very comfortable. I never adjusted once. :) And there are straps that can be attached (clear, regular, who knows what else?) so I can wear it as a regular bra too, which made me less unhappy to pay what I feel is the ridiculous price for any good strapless bra. But I'm cheap... Good luck!
Just have to say that on your advice, I followed Kirstie Alley last night and this morning she called us her Fruit of the Looms! and has already tweeted at least three other crazies just this morning. Therefore, you made my day. Best advice ever.
Oh, hey, and since I'm in here commenting, I have to tell you I love your "ask a Jew" segments. I find myself explaining stuff like taht all the time. I blogged about our ketubah last night. We do some crazy-sounding stuff, don't we?
You? Are a treasure of the sort that would put Kirstie to SHAME.
Also, I feel terrible that you have me such nuggets of awesomeness and I am ZERO help on all of your questions. Next time, I swear, I'll either know something or (gasp) LEARN something.
You just used "in perpetuity" in the proper context. I think I'm smitten.
Gin Gimlet!
2 oz. gin
1 oz. Rose's Lime Juice (It MUST be Rose's)
Lime Wedge
Shake and pour into a sugar rimmed glass!
Gin is foul and disgusting. I suggest you dump it down the sink. Vodka, baby! Vodka!
I like the convertible bras from Gap Body myself (they can be strapless or strapfull - 2 in one!), but I'm not sure they come in padded.
If you are looking for really sparkly ballet flats for Lo, I Google "baby ballet flats" and found these from Target: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/192-9216237-2058900?ASIN=B001BZSD3O&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B001BZSD3O|Toddler_Girls_Circo%20_Aniyah_Glitter_Ballet_Flats_-_Multicolor&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B001BZSD3O&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001
But if you're looking for basic black, check these out at Nordstrom and cross your finger they have them in her size because they are teh preshuss!
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2960170?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_pla=shoes:women:flats&cm_ite=nordstrom_%27bella%27_ballet_flat_%28walker%2C_toddler%2C_little_kid_%26_big_kid%29:210140&cm_ven=Froogle&mr:trackingCode=96E9CFFD-D981-DE11-B712-001422107090&mr:referralID=NA
Yikes with the American Apparel fashion show! I'm dying to know how much those shredded leggings cost, because there is just no amount that you can justify charging for those...
Gin is mixed with juice or tonic over here!
At Blogher someone gave me a card for little baby flats, but I tossed it since I am currently sans babies. Good luck!
And as far as the maracas, have you tried those adhesive cups?
Gin, sweet tea, and mint - I was under the impression that I liked neither alcohol nor sweet tea until this beverage was forced upon me. Now gin is all I drink. It's either this bizarro mint julep (we call it a Pop-pop), gin and tonic, Go Juice (gin, tonic, lime juice, lime, and mint), gin and ginger ale...
Mmmmmm. It's way to early to be thinking about this.
A Tom Collins is, hands down, the best way to drink gin.
Some people make it with sour mix, but that is a crap way to make it - it's better with the lemon juice and sugar. (I like to boil a little water and make a sugar syrup, instead of trying to get sugar to dissolve completely in lemon juice, but that's just me.)
Also, I've never tried gin and cherry-limeade (another poster mentioned this), but I am totally going to now. 'Cause it sounds AWESOME.
Gin.. a French 75 is definitely a good fancy drink. Gin and lime-ade is a summer staple at my house. Gin and Fresca is kinda ghetto, but delicious.
I love me some Tom Collins. It is refreshing. It is delicious. It is exactly what gin was created to do. But sometimes I like a more tropical feel, so gin & tonic with a generous splash of pineapple juice makes me happy.
I'm into Gin like Miss Hannigan in the original film version of Annie.
Get the grapefruit gin (I think it's Seagram's, so it's cheap but you'll just have to get over that) and here we go...
1 part Grapefruit Gin
1 part grapefruit juice
2 parts Fresca
Stir! Enjoy! This can also be frozen a la margarita style. No salt.
Gin with lemonade or Squirt is actually pretty good. Something tart!
Ooh, gin! One of my favorites is using 1/2 gin and 1/2 Pimms No. 1 any place you would normally use only gin (use discretion... in some drinks that could be gross). A good one is 1 oz. gin, 1 oz. Pimm's, fill mostly with lemonade & top with ginger ale or 7Up...yum!
The bloodhound is also delicious: 1/2 oz. gin, 1/4 oz. dry vermouth, 1/4 oz. sweet vermouth, 3 crushed strawberries, shake w/ice and strain into glass. I kid you not, it tastes like eating a field of strawberries on a sunshiney day.
re gin: French 75 (ZOMG SO GOOD)
2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. simple syrup (sugar dissolved in boiling water, make a huge batch and keep it in the fridge for all of your cocktail needs)
1 oz. lemon juice (optional, but very good)
Champagne (or sparkling white)
Combine cognac, sugar, (and lemon juice if desired) in a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a two iced Champagne flutes (or a Collins glass with crushed ice). Fill with Champagne/sparkling wine.
I'm with crist re: gin - soda and lime. done.
i know nothing of baby shoes - but the ones you posted to twitter from etsy were teh ADORABLE.
now - the bra. this is where i can help. i think the one that i've recently fallen in deep dark love with is the one bethlaws06 is speaking of above. i was going to look for it online, however, my office has blocked victoria's secret as "Lingerie and Swimsuit" content and therefore i was compelled to draw a likeness of the brassiere for you. BEHOLD: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32582156@N05/3818046838/ it. is. magical. creates bubbies where there are none. enjoy.
How about these shoes?
http://www.babyultimate.com/maryjanes1.html
And I second or third etsy -- though they will probably all be softsoled slipper types -- is that what you were looking for?
What color ballet flats are you looking for? I saw some cute ones at Old Navy...
First of all, thanks so much for the gin drink suggestions. I am dying to try, oh, ALL OF THEM, but this French 75 is CALLING TO MEEEE.
Second, regarding the fancy bebe shoes; I apologize, I should've mentioned that the dress is champagne-colored, with pink and grass green accents. (She's not walking yet, so something slipperlike is fine.)
Seriously, thank you all so much.
I much prefer gin to vodka...good vodka's not supposed to taste like anything, so what's the point?
My poison of choice is a martini, but it had to be made with Tanqueray 10 - not Tanqueray, mind you, it has to be Tanqueray 10. With olives.
You are hilarious. That is all.
I think gin and grapefruit juice is pretty good. Or pomegranate juice, if you get down with the pomegranates.
Also: American Apparel's non-t-shirt/scarf line is mostly hideous, IMO. Hideous and sort of flashdance sexual, always, amirite?
Also: Maybe Old Navy for teeny tiny ballet flats?
LOVE THOSE PHOTOS! I was in Lincoln Park on Saturday and was waiting to pick up a friend and a bunch of hipsters walked past and it was like I stepped into an American Apparel ad.
I can't help you with any of your questions. I don't drink gin. My ex boyfriend couldn't drink it because he was allergic to pine. And gin is made from pine.
I didn't believe him either.
i have a gap strapless bra that i use in such instances. it's a few years old, though, so they don't have that one, but do have this one:
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=35469&vid=1&pid=308848
heh.
this one is more like what i have:
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=34528&vid=1&pid=497913&scid=497913012
your bewbs are bigger than mine, though, so don't take my word on any of this.
I don't even know where to start here...
You certainly are way too good to us. Metalia does American Apparel makes me ridiculously happy. I would have given you my gin advice for free. because it is this: I have no idea what you drink gin with....I don't think I've ever had it!
and you already know how I feel about your bedazzled-y goodness. (also? I need an iphone case...ahem)
also? I bought a padded strapless bra at VS a loooooong time ago. but I have no idea what it was called or if they even make it anymore. so, really, I am absolutely NO help to you today. at all.
Swap out your ice for a fresh fruit juice (or who am I kidding, store bought)popsicle. Great swizzle stick, too. Have you tried Beefeater's Wet? Pear infused. Or Plymouth. Or Magellan. Oh, so many to choose from!
This is the most comfortable, flattering strapless bra EVER... you don't get that weird gap in the front of the cups, it never requires adjusting, and you can barely feel it:
http://www.barenecessities.com/Calvin-Klein-Perfectly-Fit-Strapless-Underwire-Bra_product_CalvinKleinF2660_,search,.htm
I hate gin.
Also, when I visit you can we go to American Apparel? And I can pick out things for you to try on?
Hellllllooo! Gin & Juice is a song for a reason!
Definitely can't help you with the gin...ask your bro...he may know a good combo since he does love to drink (no I am not calling my almost husband an alcoholic)
for the bra...try getting a bra with removable straps that are clear...that should solve your problems...with just a shear fabric it will be basically impossible to see the straps...i think i have clear straps somewhere so let me know if you need
and for lo...if you can't find shoes just have her wear green socks...no one will really notice.
Esquire writes lovely odes to alcohol (and lovingly written and imbibed, I am sure) (this sentence construction has stopped making sense already and I just started) and I was intrigued by this Gin Daisy recipe they just had in the magazine, particularly because it says it's for non-gin-drinkers, too, and I am one of those.
http://www.esquire.com/features/drinking/gin-daisy-drink-recipe-0109?click=main_sr
Here's theirs for a gin rickey:

And an "old-fashioned gin cocktail":
http://www.esquire.com/drinks/gin-cocktail-drink-recipe?click=main_sr
Here's to summer!
Gin, yum! I wasn't a huge gin fan until I recently discovered Hendricks. It is wonderful, even in a plain ole G&T. Try the Gin Buck if you want to get all crazy though:
1 ounces Gin
1 tablespoon Lemon
6 ounces Ginger Ale
Pour gin and juice of lemon into an old-fashioned glass over ice cubes. Fill with Ginger Ale, stir, and serve.
Drink some for me since I'm off the sauce ; )
I love this strapless bra:

Good luck!
Gin - I love that it has a refreshing taste. One of our favorite cocktails is a gimlet. Basically gin, lime juice, simple syrup. (Rose's lime is a shortcut - presweetened!) Delish!
Also, anything citrusy is a nice complement to Gin. If you Bing* "gin cocktail", I bet you get lots of ideas.

*trying to help MS create the next verb ala Google.
I had my gorgeous baby ballet shoes imported from Australia from one of my blog friends. They have pink ankle ribbons!!!
Google and find a store that carries Capezio shoes. They might not come in exactly her size but they have a wonderful tie string around the entire leather flat that you can adjust. And have her wear later too.
My daughter was 18 months old when she stood up for her 1st wedding and I did a real ballet shoe and loved it. She was so comfy. Capezio has a leather bottom. You will love.
That was entirely more information than I can reasonably comment on, so I will just say that YOU are a treasure, Metalia. Yes, you are.
Gin and Squirt (it's a citrus, grapefruit soda of deliciousness; surprising number of people haven't heard of it)
Not much help besides that :]
I echo the Tom Collins suggestions - good stuff. In fact, it's been ages since I've had one, you may have inspired me to pick some mix up...
Love the fashion segment, you should definitely make it a regular feature :-).
RE: the bra-i have 2 suggestions:
1. If you're anything like me, you don't need a bra for support, more for shape (correct?)...if this is the case, could your dressmaker build in a bit of 'shape'? My sister got married recently and my dress designer built in cups for me.
2. If you want to go the bra route, try triumph....
Stefanie deserves a freaking medal to bringing Kirstie and her tweets into my life and you for deserve one for trying on the fug.
Thank you both and "GOOD NIGHT holy matrimonies"
For your strapless bra. Find a bra store. The kind that specializes in fitting and tailoring the bra to you. I have two strapless bras that I bought at a bra store and I can wear them all day long and they don't move. Bonus points, I can also move and breath!
I used to hate looking for bras as I was small boobed but big ribbed. I found they bra store, they fit you and tailor the bras for you and poof! Perfect fit everytime. Your life will literally be changed for the better.
Best. Bra. Ever. I, too, am lacking in the maracas department and this offers great enhancing but also stays in place like a charm. AND, as an added bonus, doesn't dig into you like most other strapless bras. The $50 is well worth it.

I'm beginning to think you might be in like with Dov Charney, just a little bit. No? I have to say I'm very disappointed you aren't wearing terry cloth wristbands in the pictures.
As far as the bra goes, if you want to get a GOOD one and invest in it, find the {Intimacy} store in NY at myintimacy.com and go there. They are bra specialists and will find the perfect thing for you.
I may be late to the game but here are my 2 cents on the bra issue: when I was in my cousin's wedding, I had a tailor sew in some pads so I could go sans bra, with a little padding and no nipplage.
Sweetie, I'm just going to start calling you teensy.
Nobody but you, could look cute in that trash-a-dilly clothing.
Gin.. ugh. Gin hurts my heart and head ;-)
Girlie, you're too cute for words.
Not sure what color you're looking for but Gymboree has some CUU-UUTE ballet flats for babies:

Have fun!
And THANKS for making me crack up (as always) and end my evening on a happy note!
champagne lemon juice and gin?
count me in.
champagne lemon juice and gin?
count me in.
May I recommend mixing your gin with Polar Beverage's Bitter Lemon soda? It's my summer drink of choice.
I totally had the same Barbie with the same whore-esque dress...and side pony.
I found the cute little shoes my daughter wore for my sister-in-law's wedding at Target of all places! They were pink, glittered ballet flats, and um...she got uber-compliments on her shoes. No one even seemed to notice her fancy-ass dress!
Good Luck!
Yes! yes! I was just reading through the comments and the Target link that Jill posted with the ballet flats...those are the ones! Only G's were pink! So freakin' cute! and Cheap!
for the shoes: pedipeds. i bought my daughter silver ones before she started walking, and she continues to wear them now that she is walking. they're really great and cute!
The best thing about Gin is that it mixes with nearly anything. I like to mix it with Cranberry and Orange Juice. It adds nicely to slushies, also.
Finally! Someone who feels the same way I do about American Apparel. I just.don't.get.it. Ugh.
Also, my cup runneth over, so I can't help you with the padded strapless....but with the gin...JUICE baby. Any kind, anytime.

I just saw someone on the street wearing the black version of the shredded leggings. It was truly horrific, but I felt I had to share this with you as I too share your dislike of American Apparel. I recently visited the shop only to be confronted by the gold lurex hotpants as I walked in. After laughing out loud at the price tag (£30!), I vowed never to go there again.
