Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on May 22, 2007
1) What the hell was Randy wearing? Did he rob some fatty high school drum major of his band costume?
2) Doesn’t Paula Abdul have enough money to purchase hair extensions that don’t look like a den of ferrets crawled onto her head and died?
3) Whose ridiculous idea was it to have the finalists sing an original song penned by an amateur? That song BLEW.
4) Blake isn’t just cheese, he’s pasteurized processed cheese food, like Velveeta. I don’t even like her all that much, but if Jordin doesn’t win tomorrow night, I’ll spend the rest of the week puking all over myself.
5) Am I just old and not in touch with today’s fashion, or were Blake’s clothes absolutely, horrifically awful?
6) I totally think Blake and Ryan are getting it on after the show tonight.

My Current Obsessions
The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.

1) agree<BR>2) agree<BR>3) agree<BR>4) agree<BR>5) agree<BR>6) not so sure<BR>very funny!
I completely agree - Blake has got to go! Loved your wrap-up!
i thought it looked like randy was wearing a confederate uniform coat. i don’t know - looked just like the one ashley wilkes wore in gone with the wind. <BR><BR>blake blew - probably ryan - i hadn’t thought about that, but good point. i voted at least 50 times from 9pm until midnight for jordin. never voted in a final before - always been upset with the results though so maybe this year will be different.<BR><BR>lets cross our fingers.
Too funny….<BR><BR>I had some A.I. thoughts of my own on my blog today concerning the lack of fairness in the finale…
For the record, I love Blake (AND his fashion sense), yes you are getting older
Like Blake I’m also a 20-something who would choose his wild, outrageous color schemes over Randy’s ridiculously gray and ugly outfit any day.<BR><BR>Whichever one of them wins is totally OK; the last 4 of the idols were all awesome in their own right.
I somewhat agree with you on the song; there are plenty of FANTASTIC unsigned songwriters out there, which is what the songwriting idol contest was supposed to highlight. Heck, I even entered and I KNOW my song was better than the one they chose. However, they chose a not-so-great song, and despite the contest guidelines that indicated it would be given the hollywood treatment by a producer, they gave it a crap treatment and expected the singers to conform to the style, neither of whom fit said style. Result? Sounded like crap. And yes, Paula’s weave looked a HOT mess.
