H.B.S.

      If you are a regular here on my blog you know that HBS stands for the Holiday Bingeing Season; a season that has begun several days back. Two days of going out already under my belt and countless Michelob Ultras ingested have made me and my tummy huge... with joy that is. Yesterday I was glad to see several of my peeps that I don't get to see often so that just adds to the excitement of this season.
      Today, all I want to say to you crazy kids is to have a great time, be safe and like I've said before, if you're going to inhale your weight in food then afterwards? Hit the gym. Slobs can be beggers but can't be choosers. If that makes any sense.


Happy Stuffing!

Doughnuts

      I don't know about you but I love me some doughnuts. Glazed. Chocolate. Jelly filled. Double chocolate? Raspberry glaze? My tush has died and gone to diabetic heaven!! Oh the joy I get when I walk into a store and select my favorites! I imagine leaving with my purchases and making sure that nothing happens to my prized possessions. I arrive home to open the box holding my solid form of ambrosia. And then I... I......

..... I tend to get carried away. You see, I feel that a doughnut is a little slice of heaven! Who doesn't like doughnuts?! Those who are saying "I don't" to themselves right now? Are lying. Liars. Blasphemy I tell you!
      Did you know that the Travel Channel has a whole show dedicated to doughnuts? Its called Donut Paradise. Did anyone know about this? Why wasn't I aware that this magnificent program was in existence?! I've just finished watching it and I can't wait to see the next episode. In this episode, they mentioned two doughnut places that are fab and I have to agree.

1) Top Hop in Seattle. These are the doughnuts found in Starbucks across the country! Well, some of them anyway.

2) The Doughnut Plant in New York located on Grand Street on the Lower East Side. Dean & DeLuca and Whole Foods carry these delicious little treats!



Go. Check. Them. Out. Now. I'm off to Star to the Bucks to grab a latte and... well, you know.

Pilgrim Time!

      As you all know, Thanksgiving is right around the corner and well, my fat ass can't wait. I officially dub today to be the kickoff of the holiday binging season. (For further references, I shall name it the HBS)
If this year is anything like the last, this season with be full of excess. Whether it be drinking, eating or inhaling my weight in pie, I love this time of year though at the same time I despise it so. It seems that this time of year my weight fluctuates. Hmm... I wonder why? Perhaps it's being pumped full of Long Island Iced Tea or bloated with mashed potatoes smothered in gravy. The outcome of HBS? A constant 1 hour (minimum) work out every day. Cardio, weights, the works. Perhaps I should contact my personal trainer again? He seems to whip me into shape quite well. Who am I kidding? He kicks ass! (Literally and metaphorically) As I write this the HBS is taking off with food already cooking in my oven and stovetop. Somebody send help... or cake.

Cheers

Anna Banana

      Anna Wintour. Epitome of fashion. Mogul. Head of an industry loved by many. She is a true icon and a force in the fashion world. There is just one eennie bitty thing that bothers me. Why is she so obsessed with Blake Lively. OK, she's gorgeous but, there are many, MANY it girls out there and 3 covers of Vogue in year? Say what now? Like Perez said "How much is her publicist paying Anna..."? Is anyone else baffled by her many appearances in Vogue? September issue, February issue, Best Dressed issue... I mean. COME ON. There are so many other girls - and guys - that deserve that recognition. Agreed or disagreed?

So NOT Like Mike.

      This will be short and sweet like a Carlos V bar. Michael Lohan? Let's put your ass in lockdown rehab and leave you there. All opposed? *silence* All in favor? *cheers* Then it's settled.


Have a nice, awesome, carb-free weekend. What i'm saying? Don't do what I did and inhale half a pizza in one sitting.

Animal Cruelty.

      Crocs.

      Need I say more? It's not so much cruelty against animals it more like cruelty against us humans for having to see those things in every color imaginable.  I don't get these shoes. Are they comfortable? I don't know. When i'm playing Kings, and Never Have I Ever comes up, that's a question I can answer no to truthfully and with pride because I've never worn a pair. Yes, people have told me that they're the best thing since sliced bread but I rather, and I quote NeNe Leakes on this one, "pluck my toenails one by one" than wear Crocs.
      The appeal of these shoes baffles me. They're not visually stunning so wearing them because they're "pretty" doesn't fly with me. They're made of rubber.
Let me say that again.
RUBBER.
      Payless anyone? The fact that you can buy little flowers and bugs and penguins or I don't know what the heck to adorn these rubber clogs makes me cringe with fear, disgust and laughter.
      To all of you who own a pair of these "shoes" I would like to know why? Comfortable? Probably. But so are my Kenneth Cole combat boots. Why don't you buy those!? Perhaps I will never get a straight answer until I myself, give in to this... trend... and try some on myself. I hear there's a Crocs sale on Boca Chica. These puppies are going for 5 bucks a pair AND you get a pair for free. For your FYI, you get what you pay for. It's the same thing when you pay two $25 cents for a margarita. The outcome? A hangover of every kind imaginable.

Thursday

      And I'm off to work like a dog! God only knows why I'm awake at this unholy hour. As I woke up today, I realized how lucky I am! I have my health, family, a job! And everything I don't have? Will eventually fall into place. Anyhow, I just thought I'd start off my day with positive energy. Remember, put good out and get good back in. It's all about a balance. I have a feeling that my next post will be titled Fitness or Pre-Holiday Jitters. Something like that.

Shocking

      So as I woke up today, I got two pieces of news that shook my world like an Indonesian earthquake. (Too soon?)

Une:
Paulina Rubio gave birth to a baby boy? When was this gal pregnant anyway?! I assume "La Chica Dorada" will be using her "golden globes" very soon. Good luck babe!

Deux:
 A royal wedding? Kate a.... princess?! I've been staring at an old issue of QUIEN magazine every time I go to the toilet for months featuring Kate Middleton on the cover and a countdown to their wedding which wasn't even announced yet. This day is FINALLY here. Do you know what this means? Two royal British weddings in our lifetime! And Harry could be next! That would make trois! My obsession with European royal families has reached another level. I think this may become an unhealthy habit very soon.


For more info on Paulina Rubio's plopping out a child check out E! Online. There is a link on the right hand bar of my blog!

For the Royal Wedding? Google it. I'm sure that there are 4 million places you can find the 411.

Oh, Oxygen.

     The Bad Girls Club is a piece of work; to say the least. 7 women, all with goals of their own. 7 women, DEEPLY disturbed. Disagree? Watch a preview. Those bitches? Are crazy. I suggest therapy for all!
      I don't get this show at all! What's the concept? They're working out their problems? When?! How?! Where?! Between the bongs and Jell-O shots? With patron and a fab house? I would understand a fab house and a 24/7 lockdown with Dr. Phil for therapy but this? 
      As if that wasn't enough, there are spin-offs! For this show that features some of the un-classiest people I've seen on TV! Could they not contain all the ghettolicuousness in one show so they made two more?

1- Bad Girls: Road Trip!
      I suspect that this show doesn't feature singing high school girls in search of the dream of fame a la Britney Spears in Crossroads but I'm not interested in finding out.

2- Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too.
      Do I even have to say anything? Love? No. Solitary confinement? Where do they sign up!

      Dear Oxygen,
I understand that this high caliber show has given you major ratings and broken records across the board for you but come on already! I'm sure that there are better ways to do so. I understand the appeal of watching hot (ugly) women dressed in amazing clothes (rags) drink top shelf (Oso Negro) and end up beating the crap out of each other but if I really want that, I'll head over to El Chaparral. My suggestion? Perhaps a nice show with a mom with a great political career and a pregnant teen daughter? Oh wait, Sarah Palin got a show already. Never mind then!

Cheers,
J.Saenz

UPDATE: I have just found out that PEREZ is hosting the Bad Girls Club Miami Reunion TONIGHT. Care to see a train-wreck? For more info click HERE!!!

Fashion.

      I don't know why we as a society are afraid to take risks when it comes to what we wear. Whether it be scarves, gloves, combat boots or stones, I always try to push the limits to what men can wear. It's safe to say that I am a risk-taker when it comes to fashion; I wouldn't have it any other way. There are some things that I believe no man should be without for winter:

1- A great fitting Trench-coat.
2- Great ties with bold colors.
3- One long scarf. Wool, cotton or cashmere are great choices.
4- Cashmere sweater; preferably in an amazing color. I say a cerulean or crimson.
5- Boots. High boots. Not cowboy boots.
6- A versatile blazer. Tweed is a great option!
7- Gloves. I say leather and the more color options the better.
8- Something white. No white after labor day? I say fuck it! Europeans aren't afraid to throw in white why are we? It livens an outfit with perfection. White pants with a navy blazer? Shut up! Just no white shoes none of us can pull of that look and looking like the old redneck from The Dukes of Hazzard? Not an option and it's just plain creepy. One more thing: I suggest a creme tone over a toilet paper white.


Best,
JLS

Gone like Doughnuts @ Jenny Craig

      That's what I've been! It's been a hectic past couple of weeks. I've lost a family member to cancer, got a new job and had several other things going on in my life. I sort of have a new outlook on life. I've decided to keep my blog but as of right now no new posts will go up as I have no new events to cover.

     Although, this coming week I will be at VINTAGE EXTRAVAGANZZA by Alessandra's Bazaar. Make sure you get a ticket before hand seeing that no tickets will be sold at the door. Contact me for any information about tickets or the event.
