Kyan, Thom, Jai, Carson, Ted -- where you at?

First of all, let me say how much I have missed "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." I'm currently an episode circa 2004 and those boys are my favorite humans alive.

Carson: (Referring to a pair of pants) These remind me of my favorite musical!
Straight Guy: Uh, Oklahoma?
Carson: No, Pirates of Men's Pants.

Today I visited a local garden with my aunt & six month old cousin. We spent a few hours with a stream-side picnic, a walk through the vegetable garden, strolling along the walking path and admiring the nature around us. The mansion on the grounds was also really gorgeous... I'm so inspired by interior (& exterior) decor. I can't wait to decorate my first apartment. August, come sooner!

Remember Rayanne from My So-Called Life? One of my many style icons. I've been so completely engrossed by the 90s lately that I've rediscovered my love for angsty teenage music, television and uh, plaid. Rayanne's big hair, bangin' yin-yang earrings, the Docs, the rough-and-tumble attitude? Love it. Love her. So much disappointment at the fact that the best 90s TV shows were kicked off the air after one season (Freaks & Geeks, My So-Called Life) ... shame. Bring back Jordan Catalano and Daniel Desario!
