Dance Dance Revolution

Well, I'm vacation bound and you know what that means: time for a new brand of Boogie Woogie, Sucker Mother. See what I did just there? As it happens, I had planned--or rather been lured into--an inspiration trip of sorts away in light of the current climate conditions and when I say current I am referring to the heavy grey clouds that were infiltrating the sky from the first o'May until a few hours ago. And then the sun came out and I was all, "crapola." In an instant, the escape factor was terminated. Still, the beach is calling so I am going. And as a parting gift, I give you this:It's an effort to leave the bottom half of your body stationary while you exercise your arms and chest. And it should be said, Judy Blume was absolutely wrong, this will by no means increase your bust. In fact, it may minimize that shit. No offense to Margaret, but she was an idiot. Still with me? I hope so. Multi-level connecting, people. Childhood glory. The Oprah of female puberty. Okay now, bye!

MR x Bauble Bar

Bauble Bar bracelets, Theyskens' Theory mermaid dress
This week in seamless collaboration nations, I build a big fat slew of arm parties for the folks at Bauble Bar and suggest that you, the reader, ponder the notion of purchase. By that I most certainly mean: drop it like it's hot. At $50 a set, you receive five bracelets hand-picked by my freaky ass and then wear them all together until the mass covered by the bracelets in question on your wrist is officially one shade lighter than the rest of your arm. It makes for a beautiful and irrevocable print. The relationship with Bauble Bar started in part due to a Wall Street Journal video on layering bracelets that I volunteered my marginal expertise for about a month ago and then continued to cultivate itself through everyone's favorite, Instagram, see: crystal bars. While I have your attention, let's also open the floor to discuss the evolution of the arm party and whether or not it's appropriate that we maybe, just maybe, shelf it for a short while. The terminology, not the sentiment. Never the sentiment. Okay now, your turn, discuss and shop.
