Country ginger love

Oh Chicago traffic, you are the worst!  Normally i try to edumacate myself and listen to NPR, but sometimes i need a break from becoming more brilliant to just relax and listen to some country jams.  For whatever reason today, like every song i listened to seemed to be about gingers!  The first one that caught my attention was "My front porch"  by Lonestar.  Check it out below

Its a cute enough song, but i hate the term carrot top, so he lost me a little bit there.  Plus it is one of those twangy love songs which is not really my jam.  Next up was "White Liar"  by Miranda Lambert.  

Miranda's is a little sassy because she is singing it from the viewpoint of a jilted lover who's man is tramping around town with a red hot ginger.  If i've heard it once, i've heard it a million times.  Us gingers are irresistible.  In fact, the only reason i'm not stealing your boyfriend right now is because blogging is exhausting.  (right...)


Lastly is "You and Tequila"  By Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter

Ok, you got me.  It's not about gingers at all, but i like this song, and i like tequila, and it just makes sense!  


I think the universe (or at least Chicago's country music station)  Was all about ginger pride today.  Or at least they wanted to keep me entertained on my drive home!

the lost shaker of salt

Margaritaville bitches!
While i don't actually condone listening to Jimmy Buffet, i fully support binge-drinking, bikinis, beaches, fruity drinks, and sunglasses.  It was only a matter of time before i ended up at a Jimmy Buffet tailgating party  And, because i am a shameless famewhore who will stop at nothing to get people to notice her and want their pictures taken with her, i dressed up as the famed lost shaker of salt from margaritaville!  
never heard the song?  check it out -

So, i spent about two hours of tailgating walking around "lost"  and posing for redonk amounts of pictures and enjoying free beverages.  I think about 80% of the people got it and totally appreciated my witty costume.  About 15% were already too drunk to understand and legit tried to explain to me where i was (although they didn't seem quite sure themselves) and the remaining 5% were uber old and creepy and offered to be the pepper to my salt shaker.  (what?  ewww.)  Tailgating was a blast!


Sadly, i didn't make it into a show until the very end because i was helping an overserved companion that couldn't make it into the show.  Looks like the salt shaker really was lost!


I did make it in for the last couple songs however, and did get to hear margaritaville and fins.  Which are basically the only two songs i know anyway since i am not really a J-Buff fan, so all and all, i would call it a successful PR outing!  

Oh no she didn't!

Katy Perry as a ginger?  get the hell out.  No.  Seriously.  Get the hell out - you look awful as a ginger.  Without all that dark hair and redonk make up, your true self is shining through, and you do not have what it takes to be a ginger.  Such a privilege is reserved for only the super fabulous.

I think she realizes the error of her ways however, as she is already planning on redying.

Ladies.....think before you go ginger - it's a lifestyle, not a hair color!

The last of the clones

I intentionally saved the best for last.  The most fabulous duplication of my moniker goes to......The adventures of Rusty and Ginger Fox.   Yes, it's actually a fox named ginger fox, and it's a mischievous character in a childrens book.  They navigate the forest and somehow end up on treasure island (really?)  partnered with two little girls (what parents let their kids run around with foxes) searching for buried treasure (ok, who ever this author is, i like him.)  

Basically is makes no damn sense, but the foxes are cute, and there is a buttload of treasure, and that is enough to get two thumbs up from this foxxx.  They also have a sweet line of accessories.  I kinda want the fox in the purple zebra bag.  FAB!

Are there anymore gingerfoxxx wannabe's out there??

Trying to be like me, CONTINUED!

Aside from the iCarly ginger fox, there is also a British restaurant called the ginger fox.  I'm not going to complain about this one though, because it appears to be upscale and overpriced, just like me!  (wait....what?)   Even better, it is a restaurant in a series of restaurants owned by a group called......the gingermen.  I kinda love this.  So, if you are in the sussex area you might have to stop by, just on my account.  I have no immediate plans to travel to Europe, but i might be in the area next year, and i might have to make an appearance.   Gingerfoxxx at The Ginger Fox??  Love it.

Everybody wanna be like me.

So, while i was taking a mental vaycay day yesterday, i decided google myself (natch.)  The biggest problem with being fabulous (other than fitting my obviously giant head through doorways)  is that everyone wants to be like you.  '


Enter iCarly.  To be honest i have no idea what it is, because why would i ever watch something so stupid?  However, maybe i should start monitoring the really bad shows, because those are the ones trying to elevate their status by stealing my moniker and likeness.  They apparently have an episode revolving a character named ginger fox.  she's supposed to be a trainwreck popstar, so it's a parody of Britney Spears...and me.  They should have at least asked to use my name!  The character isn't even a ginger!  Who was advising this script/casting??


Anyway, here is the mock music video of the fictional ginger fox.

On a scale of 1-10, how wrong is it that i kinda like the song?
I think my next move is to hire that guy that brought rebecca black to the mercy of millions of jeering haters stardom to write a song and direct a music video for the one true gingerfoxxx.


Stay tuned!

makeover!

So apparently while i was away doing "that whole grad school thing" Blogger added a bunch of new features.




LOVE THIS!


Check out the new makeover....aka, they have premade backgrounds and i clicked on one.

ginger zombie

So i have been training for the half marathon....(i assure you, i am normally against extraneous movement of any kind unless it involves a cocktail in one hand and gaga beats in the background) But what can i say....Nike dri-fit is the new Chanel.

I digress. I have been training a little too hard as of late, and i think my body is going through alcohol withdrawl in need of a day off.

So i am taking it easy, doped up on meds, and spending some quality time with my bed. and a tub of fro-yo.

Since i basically feel like a zombie (and we know i love zombies!) i have decided to have a zombie movie marathon/rewatch the walking dead series.

As i was looking for a link to watch....i started thinking about ginger zombies....

why. have. i. never. thought. of. this. beforeeeee?????

low and behold....its too late...some one beat me to punch and claimed the web domain already...

Ginger Zombie However they have yet to do anything with it. The anticipation is killing me.....will it be about ginger actors in zombie movies? The subtle differences between ginger zombies and s.e. zombies? (standard edition zombies.) Will it be about lovely gingers who have fallen ill and look like zombies??? (because i have your first post RIGHT HERE)

ok, maybe the meds are kicking in. I will be back with news on Lilo and zombie flicks. And any other awesome gossip that might occur today.

Guess who's back?

Well, yes me obviously. But everyone's favorite 57 year old (wait...you mean to tell me this hag is in her 20's still? ouch.) ginger trainwreck is back in court AGAINNNN.

li-blo apparently misunderstood that raging a houseparty might not fit into her probation and sobriety plans.

you gotta hand it to this girl, she is determined - if she put this determination towards anything of use, we would have a rockstar economy and cure for cancer.

Anyway, homegirl is in court right now. I am thinking some pigtails and freckles is about your only chance of weasling out of this one, girlfriend......

EDITED TO ADD - How in the hell did she get out of this again?? Lindsay Lohan avoids jail time like gingerfoxxx avoids manual labor and the color yellow! GEEZ!

GINGERFAB LOWFAT ZUCCHINI PINEAPPLE MUFFINS

3 eggs 1 cups sugar 1 c. oil 2 tsp. vanilla 2 c. unpeeled zucchini, shredded1 (8 1/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple, drained (save juice) 1/2 c. Pinapple juice 3 c. flour 2 tsp. cinnamon 3/4 tsp. ginger 1/4 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. baking soda 1 c. nuts, chopped Beat eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla until thick. Sift dry ingredients together. Stir in remaining ingredients; mix well. Fill 24 greased or paper lined muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 350 degrees for *about* 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Ok, this is obviously not a picture of the muffins i made, primarily because it is obviously photoshopped, and one of the muffins looks like it is floating away. I was inhaling them too fast to get a picture in. That is how i roll.

Back in....Ginger!

I know i tend to come and go, but I think i have finally reached the point in my like where i can manage blogging again. But most importantly, I just bought a new camera, and want the excuse to take pictures of myself and have a venue to post them in. what can i say, i am incredibly vain fabulous!

That and i have a job where i am near a computer and responsible for entertaining myself. (in theory, i suppose diligent work ethics would be an alternative to blogging about uselessness, but considerably less fun) That and i have a lot of super fun events on the horizon to talk about, as well as madmen season 5 being delayed until early 2012 (what the hell am i supposed to do with myself??)

To start off a summer of ginger-rific posts, i am going to officially retract my previous statements of all ginger men being unattractive. I was young and foolish. enter Sean Beam in "Game of Thrones"

Ok, so maybe he's more of a day-walker, but he is definitely a cutie, and he had SUCH an awesome part on the series. Maybe it was because he is such a badass on the show, maybe its because i want to wear fancy silk dresses and have servants....we'll never know. I loved the series so much that i have every intention of reading all the books this summer. Nothing like sitting on the porch with a cocktail enjoying literature. Or what i will actually be doing, which is holding a book while admiring my perfectly pedicured toes and spying on all the neighbor drams.

I know you're green with envy.

It's good to be back :)
