Congratulations, It's A (Couture) Girl

Hey duckies. I've come to realize a lot over the past couple days. I've discovered that my life is so eventful (even without me trying to liven it up). In addition to my life always being festive, I've come to the conclusion that my life is truly mine. I am going to live my life exactly the way I want. Others are in your life for a reason. Conversely, your life is yours to govern. Of course there's like the law to abide by (no offense criminals) but life is meant to be taken advantage of. With that being said I need to concentrate on the relationship with myself.



I, like Samantha Jones (from "Sex and the City"), like testing my options and being single is going to be my way of doing so. Devin and I have decided that we need to be best friends right now because I'm too busy for a relationship. When my life goals are fully developed...I'll find a cure for my SamanthaJonesitis lol. Oh! I have a new word of the week (well phrase to be exact.) The new "Word/Phrase of the Week" is:

Caffed Up: (meaning) heavily dependent and effected by significant amounts of alertness medication or "caffeinated" elements; totally obliterated.
Ex: "My day goes by so fast when I'm 'caffed up.'"

Speaking of caffed up I was so caffed up at my mom's best friend's baby shower today.


(This is not a picture of the actual baby shower. I just thought this picture was so cheesy and tacky lol.)

I took a 5-hour energy and a Red Bull...at the same time. I have no idea how I'm alive right now lol. Anyway the baby shower was so glamorous. My mother designed the whole thing with her "vision." She put up white and pink fabric with coordinated streamers, African-Wildfire Orchids (well that's how they looked), pearl tablecloths and everything else A-list. However, everything didn't go smooth while planning. Here's a video to show you the sass everyone had to deal with because Mommy had a "vision."



Yeah...talk about sass. But sass aside my Mom is a gem. The baby shower was a total hit and the sass was well-deserved lol. Joy (my mom's best friend and baby shower "it" girl) got soooooo much stuff. She got over $1,000 in cash, gift cards and tons of gifts. (When we brought all the stuff into her apartment's family room, we could barely walk without stepping over anything.) One of the gifts (courtesy of Gabriella) was a pair of pink baby Uggs. They were soooooo cute. Anywho, I was the baby shower's bartender so you know everyone was having a good time lol. After the shower, we started cleaning up and Gabriella & I came across some unattended balloons. (If you guys didn't know I used to be a helium junkie lol.) I recently taught Gabriella how to successfully obtain helium out of a balloon without popping it; watch the skills in this video!



...she's so precious.
Now watch what happens when an addict is given his drug of choice. Viewer beware lol.



I've made peace with the fact that I'm crazy and I wouldn't have it any other way. But enough about me, let's get to the quote of the day for January 11th:

"Friends are living, breathing extensions of your personality. Like your personality, friends are there 24/7. If you're friends only 'clock-in' (only) when its convenient to them, move on with your life; your personality will adjust."

I'd like to give a shout-out to a new blogger, a good friend of mine, Elle Fox. Her link is http://underratedchic.blogspot.com/. She's an A-list city girl with a life as entertaining as mine. Show her some love guys. With that being said, my energy supplements are wearing off so I'm going to hit the bed..literally lol. I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true duckies.

Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson

The Common Ground for Balloons

Hey pretties. I am so sorry about the lack of postings. All of a sudden I've become a busy A-lister...which I love. Anyway, I hope you all had a wondrous break/vacation thus far. Friday night I ended up hanging out with Corey. She and I had the best time. We were all over town; New York City was ours. We went from 116th Street and Lenox Ave to 86th Street and 7th Ave to 23rd Street and 6th Ave and finally 109th Street and Broadway. I had a little too much fun and ended up showing the world my "celebratory nature."
OH! Corey and I were at Chelsea Dog and this special lady came up to Corey and asked:
("Do you want these balloons?")
Being that we were having the time of our lives before balloon lady came, Corey responded (with a sassy-neck gesture): "Noo." The lady was shocked and replied "Oh...okay." Much to our surprise the lady tied the balloons to a phone booth...right outside of the Chlesea Dog restaurant. Corey and I were floored. (I have videos of this but my BlackBerry won't let me send it because the videos are too long. SASS!)

In addition to Friday's festivities, I met someone a couple days back and we decided to go out on Saturday evening. His name is Devin and he's amazing. We have sooooo much in common; we even have the same camera. Besides that he is an eloquent gentlemen and we spoke for hours, without the conversation dying. Devin is so A-List worthy, too.
Well to get into details we met at the Virgin Records, down at Union Square and immediately went to Republic. Republic is this inexpensive, chic Vietnamese restaurant that I love. It has the best food!

Devin never dined there so I decided there's no time like the present. He left very satisfied. After that we went to Starbucks, then walked from Union Square to Chinatown, conversing and not caring about anything but each other's voice. It was delightful.

Mircaculously enough we spotted a Pinkberry (this A-List yogurt hotspot) and we decided we weren't going to pass it up. I had fruity pebbles on mine and he had granola, almonds and captain crunch. The night was going along well until I saw William (the Pinkberry clerk) spelled my name wrong on the cup. My name read "Antoin" on the cup.

I tell ya, the sass never leaves me alone. Afterwards Devin and I decided to go to my house to watch "Sex and the City: The Movie." I'm so glad I can watch that with him and have him appreciate it as much as I.

With that being said let's get to the quote for today, January 5th:

"Never doubt yourself. Letting doubt into your thoughts contaminates your positive outlook on life. Believe in yourself and doors that were once closed will burst open, just for you."

I love you guys but I'm at work now. Oh! Here's a pic of my humble office.
(I love my life lol.)

I wish you the best of happiness and a spectacular day. Stay true pretties.

Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson
