Ben now offering moustache rides.

ASS, GRASS OR CASH.
nobody rides for free.

not quite OK GO (but still fun)

today i tried a new class at crunch called 'tread ride' - it's essentially a treadmill class but you use the treadmill in a variety of ways, with varying inclines and speeds. sometimes with dumbells. you also do standing pushups by putting your feets on the sides of the machine and putting your arms on the rails.

but the best past was walking backwards and sideways. it made me feel like a much klutzier version of these guys:

Myles of Style - we are waiting for your call

tonight i applied to be on Myles of Style - which is the HGTV show hosted by Design Star season 2 winner Kim Myles. i LOVE kim myles and i love her program. i feel like kim would have been not only a wellesley woman but she would have been in shakes. also when i was in NYC for jeff and liz' wedding i saw kim on the street. she HAS to pick us!


here are the photos i submitted of our pathetic bedroom hoping she'll take pity on us.





as they say on the HGTV website: "With Kim, you don't get inches of style -- you get Myles."

Queenie in Trouble - a fun fact

here's a still i made from the greatest video ever posted on the internet. ever. 'Queenie in Trouble'.

apparently this 2 minute video (watch it 2 posts below. you won't be sorry) is an exerpt of a 20 minute short called 'Dogway Melody' - which is a spoof performed entirely by dogs in costumes of a movie from 1929 called 'Broadway Melody'. the 'Dogway Melody' short is allegedly an extra on the DVD of 'Broadway Melody' and includes dogs performing such hits as some al jolson number, as well as Singin in the Rain by Gene Kelly. ben has ordered the dvd from netflix for me so i will be sure to post here if this fantastical rumor is true!

reaction video to the greatest video ever posted on the internet. ever.

this is a video i made of myself watching the video below. please disregard the amount of chins i am wearing in this video.

THE GREATEST VIDEO EVER POSTED ON THE INTERNET. EVER.

i'm a DOUBLE winner tonight!

1. brooke white went home tonight on american idol. finally.
2. i won at DQB!


DQB is Drag Queen Bingo - a weekly going-on at Hamburger Mary's in West Hollywood. Ben was trying to cheer me up from a lousy day with a walk around the neighborhood. We came upon the establishment and could hear the screaming from across the street. We went up to the door and the man (and his poodle) working the door told us that for $20 we would get a book of cards for 10 bingo games and an extra card for the grand prize. Now, I am a Lipson. This means that a love for BINGO runs through my veins. We are a Bingo loving people.

The game was "Rim Job" - which as our hostess Belle Aire (pictured far left) described it, is "a ring around your free space". Out of the few hundred participants, _I_ was the lucky winner!! In H.M's tradition, when you win you have to run around the bar while people pelt you with their wadded up bingo cards. While I was doing my victory lap the crowd sang "Kara got a Rim Job! And she liked it!" over and over.



My winnings include:
-gourmet trends chocolate xpress (as seen on TV)
-bodum milk frother
-tea forte tea trays for silken tea infusers
-marilyn monroe mug
-yellow suctioncup-type ball
-free 3 hour self defense course provided by NOW (National Organization of Women)

pretty rad.
