Random Hearts??? Lana Del Rey

(Lana Del Rey promo shot: Stolen from Idolator.com)

We know you guys, We know.... We've been gone almost over a year, with two beautiful babies to show for it... And endless good intentions to sit down and post a wonderful piece for our true blue readers and supporters.... And we come back for Lana Del Rey?!

We KNOW!!!

But you guys... It's just something that can't be helped.

We are officially obsessed. Going through the day checking and re-checking google images to make sure that, yes! Lana Del Rey does still look EXACTLY like the older drugged sister from Sixteen candles!

(as our dear & insightful friend Emily pointed out)

Checking to make sure that, yes! She is still some what annoyingly slow and pouty in her singing style....

And finally that YES, she does have the same name as the man-hungry 1970's O.G cougar from Three's Company!

We are going for full honesty, pour-out-our-guts-ness here.

Paula Abdul style, STRAIGHT UP NOW.

We really want to hate her.... It has been so long since these feeling of confusion, stomach churning dislike mixed with secret admiration and jealousy have reared their ugly heads inside of us. Almost exactly, since high school actually.

She is THAT girl!

Oh my God you guys! Look at her!

F*CK!!

Lana Del Rey is like a young Julia Roberts that you just absolutely, positively, Just do NOT want to be besties with... That is unless she wants to be besties with us and then, in that case, sure, call me and I guess we can hang or whatever.

All we hear about these days is Lana Del Rey.... Our husbands listen to her in the car, in the office and are constantly trying to convince us that her songs are actually really new and innovative and that her lyrics are amazing...

Yeah, thats true.. Ok, we really DO like the lyrics to Video Games..

She MIGHT even actually be a Gangsta Nancy Sinatra or WHATEVER.... But we know 96% of it has to do with the fact that home girl looks like this....

Lana is like every indy, musician , skater boy, graffiti guys dream girl... In the end does it really even matter if she was manufactured in a record company board room?

She wears short, shorts and red high top converse in her F*cking videos people!

She wears ringer shirts and Esther Williams style flowers in her hair!

If she was created in a board room, then there were some genius decisions made that day!

As much as we want to be haters, we kinda can't... And why do we want to be anyway? Why did we spend/waste time finding her before and after plastic surgery photos?

We live in HOLLYWOOD.... Who hasn't had a little work done? Although we do love the gals who openly cop to it, (because it's a little insulting to think we are that naive?) does it really make a difference? She was pretty in the before pictures anyway....

BITCH.

True story: One of us actually sent this before photo to her husband like,

"Look at your girlfriend before her lip job. Not trying to be a bitch..."

A. I was totally trying to be a bitch

B. his response was "Whatevs".

C. Seriously, just trying to remind you that my lips are ALL real dude.

See? That is some high school shiz... Why is this girl getting under my skin?

Is it because I don't like her? Or because when I borrow my husbands car I totally enjoy listening to her album and then change it to the Beastie Boys when I get out so as not to be discovered? Hmmmm?

Whatever it is we are torn... TORN, torn as her high waisted short shorts...

How do you feel? Let us know in the comment section.

Unless you live with either of us, in that case keep it to yourself mister.

X*O*X*O

Things We Heart

Decor to Die for: Fill your house with music!!

So what makes your house super beautiful? Somewhere you want to spend endless hours just sitting around and day-dreaming?

Yes, for sure yummy smelling candles and lots of cozy pillows and chairs...

But what makes a house a home?

MUSIC!

And nothing, I mean nothing beats an impromptu dance party at your house!

Here are some of the treats we have been feeding our ears lately, Some classics, some new favorites... What are you listening too?

Random Hearts: We Heart Geeks!

Revenge Of The Nerds

You all know the type, the shy guy in the back of the room, he either has his nose buried in a book, or he is doodling the "Battle of Yavin" on his notebook cover. The geek, the nerd, the guy who all the popular girls aren't supposed to think is cute, but all the really cool girls secretly do. 

Yes,dear readers today we are giving it up to all the geeks out there.... We love you! We love that you are really smart, but really funny, we love that you are confident enough to stick to your guns in the style department and wait for that look to come back in style.... Oh, guess what it just did! We love that all the guys who beat you up in high school are super jealous of you, now that your in the real world and your brains and originality have given you the pay-off. We salute you and today we celebrate some of the finest stories of geeks gone glorious!.  

First and foremost is the originator of nerd chic, this adorable four-eyed fella made it "Hip to be square", and he sounded good doing it. Mr. Buddy Holly, the musical legend who brought us  

Buddy Holly

classic songs like Peggy-Sue and That'll be the day. He inspired bands like The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. Plus, Spike Jones directed a kick-ass video to Weezer's song named after Buddy Holly. So yeah Buddy Holly was pretty much running things, not bad for a little fella from Texas. 

Next up, we have the guy who is possibly the pin-up poster boy for the geek community. Because seriously, is there a better example of brains and good looks colliding in perfect harmony on a tropical island?(*Disclaimer: Unless you count Dr. Jack Shepard from Lost, and,Jack is in no way a geek,so he will sit this one out.)Yes,thats right y'all, we are talking about The Professor... not just any old professor, nope we mean THE Professor! 

The Professor

This guy was so sexy and brainy that he had two of televisions most legendary babes after him. Well, not that the guy had much in the way of competition on that little island. 

Now lets take it back to the old school shall we? How about a little Matthew Brodrick in War Games? Super early eighties computer hacking cuteness!

War Games

Come on, this guy was able to get into a top secret military computer and Ally Sheedy's pants all in under 2 hours? GENIUS! 

This next one kind of gets us all a flutter. We heart this more then we can say. This is truly,truly,truly one if not the best show about high school ever made for television. 

Freaks and Geeks 

Seriously,if you missed this the first time around,we beg you to go buy the DVD series set. Sadly this amazing show only lasted 18 episodes before it got sent to the big programing wheel in the sky. But, to those who have seen it, to those who have loved it.... Can you possibly think of a more adorable, loveable, so stinken'cute you could just hug him guy, then the shows lead geek, little Sam Weir?

Sam Weir

Although we never got to see the end of Sam's story, in our imaginations he grew up to be a stunningly wealthy and successful Sci-Fi author who is married to a really sweet and beautiful super model. Take that Cindy Saunders. 

Watch the first 30-40 seconds of this if you want to see what we are talking about.  

  

So, wonderful, wacky and weird kids(and yes,we still count as kids too)out there, be proud of who you are and one day, hopefully, all that thinking and creating and individual awesomeness will come in handy.
