OMG! This fall will be AMAZING!

First, i discovered that this September Lebowski-fest will be visiting chicago. (Was maude lebowski not a ginger? I think i already have my costume!) Then the tentative date for beerfest is Fall 2009 (i'm thinking this will be an october event) With over 100 beer venders there to sample, you know this will be one of the few reasons i would ever drag my ass to navy peir! and lastly, but most importantly....LOOK AT THIS MOVIE COMING OUT!



Nerdy white kid? Cowboy hat wearing truck driving gun toting heroic lead? Using hand-sanitizer when dealing with the undead?? (my main issue with zombie flicks.) How could this not be a success???
A must see. no if's, ands, or buts!

oh john legend, i think i love you!

Well if you werent one of the fortunate few chicagoans to see one of John Legends shows at ravinia this past week, too bad! they were SUPERFAB! John Legend - you are so good looking and you have the voice of an angel! its not even right! Ravinia is such a nice venue too! Especially for classy girls like gingerfoxxx who like to sip their wine out of dixie cups. Some people go to amazing lengths at Ravinia too....way beyond standard picnic-goer cuisine. I saw people who actually brought full china and silverware sets, along with food heated in buffet servers. Now thats like a hundred times better that grilling hot dogs and chugging keystones at a DMB concert! There was also the cutest ginger baby every created on the Metra train on the way home! I would have snapped some pics, but apparently strangers frown on you photographing their children, gingerblog or no.

Gingerfab birthday!

another fabulous year begins for the gingerfoxxx!  The theme to this years party was urban cowgirl!  yee haw! any excuse to wear red cowboy boots and a ruffled mini dress, curl my hair, go to a honky tonk, and drink cheap beer is

 a-ok by me!  The winner of the night is a toss up between ryan, who showed up in a leather cowboy hat, and aaron who wore a cowboy shirt, AND got the country band to sing me happy birthday.  Carols pub in uptown, you are officially my new favorite bar!  I just wish you were a little closer.  But it is open until 5 am, which makes the journey all the more worth while!  Apparantly there is honky tonk kareoke on thursdays as well.  a must!  Carols is definately a ginger approved establishment.  Especially if your a fan of pbr's and oldddd school country!

Also special shout out to these fabulously dressed dudes who were celebrating their friends birthday.  I love the matching shirts!  i am already getting ideas for next year!!

wha?????

Who is Channing Tatum, and why is anyone allowed to look this good????  The hat?  it's just too much!

GQ, you know what a girl wants!

stop the haterade!!!

Ok, confession time. I am shamelessly addicted to texts from last night. My day is not complete until i have read it! a lot of times i will be sitting alone and actually laughing out loud, and not a lot of things have that effect on me! I do want to raise two concerns however.

1. Are guys really that horrible? I mean i have met my fair share of douchebags, but TFLN makes me think that every guy i encounter is a herpes spreading man whore that thinks women are one step above dogs. dear god, i hope all these texts are coming from the same 10 douchbags.

2. What is with the ginger hate?? when did ginger become the ultimate slam? granted there are some akward, homely gingers in the world, there are ugly people of all hair colors! and for that matter there are some smokin hot gingers. LIKE ME! Its a sad world! again, i am just assuming that its like the same handful of people submitting texts everyday. AND i have reason to believe some of these texts are made up to try and be funny. and they are funny, but seriously....are that many people texting WHILE having sex?? if so, i am concerned.....i think maybe people don't know what they are doing.......should you really have a free hand to be texting? uhhhh, NO! seriously people. maybe that could be the new definition of sexting.


And lastly, since i am bitching about things...(although this has nothing to do with TFLN)

I was recently told that guys believe the ugly girls are better at giving head, because they need something to make up for their lack of good looks. REALLY? guys really think this??? sadness. absolute sadness. I bet john cusack would NEVER think this......

a southern ginger belle part 2!

SATURDAY: Excellent nights sleep :) Woke up and went and had breakfast at a place where FAIRY TALES ARE BORN. For real real, not for play play. Little old woman named mable

, in a gas station, making you breakfast. And she knows everyones name! Like its a big southern family! I couldn't have dreamed it. She fed me grits. at that moment i was home (*note. is it really that easy to win me over with a bowl of grits??? yes. yes, it is.) Braced ourselves for a country drive to a lake house in no-car! (thats north carolina for the unfabulous)

Seriously?  places like this exist????  I'm dying!  hanging by the beach, sipping cocktails, playing in the water...and most importantly, riding on a boat!!!  This summers big trend?  riding on boats with southern gentleman! no substitutions!    

Actually sat on a boat, watching the sunset, listening to music, surrounded by rolling hills.  you know i can't make this up if i try.  I am so renting this scenario out to romance novelists!

Last but not least, my epic southern journey took me back through so-car for so lounging around, ball throwing, and sitting in the sun, as well as back to ATL for some flip burger.  If you are going to look at any link today (and you will, you blog whores)  check out flip burger.  un-flipping-believable!  ha!  best meal everrrrr!

And here i am, back in chicago.  Its nice to be home, but home doesnt seem quite as bright when its up against the so-car stars at night.  I can assure you, i will be visiting the south again.  I can almost taste the okra now!!

:)

****also, fun fact!  This lake was the same lake where dirty dancing was filmed.  one of my all time fav movies!  i sooo will dance like that some day.  if you haven't seen it, then what the hell is wrong with you???

The gingerfoxxx went down to georgia!

She was lookin for a soul to steal!

Thats right folks!  Gingerfoxxx has returned from her tour of the southern states, and i must say, the south is definately in need of a fine southern ginger belle like myself.  Gingerfoxxx fit in the south as fabulously as her little ginger foot in Louboutin heels!    I flew into Atlanta thursday night and was immediately swooped up to begin the party!  Stopped off at a bar for a small bite and some southern beer!  I had Yuengling, (its all the rage on the east coast yet to find its way into illinois, boo)  and oysters!  (yum!  eating is for fatties, but if you must, at least let it be fabulous!)  Then we went for some dancing at Tongue and Groove Atlanta.  Nerdy white dj?  kanye beats?  um, count me in!  LOVES IT.  The friendly little hipsters were sparse, but even Atlanta had a few!  Of course all could things must come to an end and clubs must close, so we moved on to the champagne room!  and by champagne room, i mean TJ's apartment!  FABS!  and by champagne, i mean firefly sweet tea vodka!  *when in rome!*  First night in the south?  A+.

FRIDAY.

Must do touristy things!!  Ate at the Varsity - super fab burger place, although note to self, the south is definately a fat-maker.  poor gingerfoxxx wont be able to eat for a week after all the yummy southern food!

  I

 also went to the coke museum, where there was 

awesome coca-cola kitch, and like a

 million cokes to taste!  imagine mixing them all in cocktails!  Side note:  Everyone down there has a southern accent....so unbelievably hot.  No wonder old school stereotypical southern women were always fainting.  i get it now.  Also checked out the botanical gardens!  soooo pretty!  thank goodness i had an authentic southern

 host to take me to all these fab places!

After the gardens, it was time for another state!  Hello South Carolina!  I know so little about you, but i know i love youuuuu!  Your sexy  accents, friendly people and awesome weather, why have we not met before??  Gingerfoxxx <3>

 

 Also checked out some of the downtown greenville night life.  No pics unfortunately, was too busy drinking, and was just stunned by the view.  Is gingerfoxxx ever speechless?  looks like a first!  Thank god other people kept it together though, check this shiz!!

SERIOUSLY?  they just had to throw in waterfalls shining under the starlit sky.  How does one even process???????  Do people fall for this?  yes.  yes. they. do.

Needless to say greenville is able to charm the pants right gingerfoxxx!

This post is officially becoming a two part post....i'm not even to saturday yet!  dang! <-----my southern speak <3<3<3
