SUNDAY VID: Toddlers in Heels

This is video of Baby-Sis on vacation in Florida. It's like 8 am and the rest of the house is sleeping. Because everyone wants to be woken up by a toddler tap dancing.

Project Runway: I'm Not Over It

I hope she uses those scissors to cut Nina's throat

As I sit down to write this post the Season 9 premiere of Project Runway is airing across the east coast of North America and for the first time I am not watching it.

It's a painful decision. I assure you it hurts me more than it hurts them... probably.

But frankly, I'm not over it. I'm not over Gretchen Jones winning over Mondo last season. I'm not over Michael Kors and Nina Garcia bullying Heidi and Jessica Simpson into making that decision. I'm not over how Hitler Gretchen's clothes look like something i would wear to clean my garage and i'm expected to believe its fashionable. Now granted, I'm an East Coast girl and that whole crunchy-granola-hippie-fashion shit does not swing here. But seriously her collection was hideous and the only reason she won was because she kissed Michael and Nina's ass whereas Mondo didn't and IT. STILL.PISSES.ME.OFF.

I was talking to G-fab the other day and he happened to be watching season 7 reruns on tv and sadly he was like "I don't remember who the fuck these people are and if i even liked them."

This made me sadder than a 5 year old when they hear the ice cream man and run outside just to find out it was some pedobear in a truck playing that music. I mean I only remember Seth Aaron, Emilio and Anthony from that season myself.  G-fab and I can still name almost every castmember from PR season 2 and in what order they were eliminated. WE WERE THAT HARDCORE. At one time we would countdown to the new season of project runway, place early season bets on who was going to make it to Bryant Park and tease each other unmercifully when the other one's designers got booted off.

It just goes to show how far the show has fallen. I'm not watching the premiere tonight. I won't lie and say I won't watch season 9 out of spite. I probably at some point will cave into my PR addiction and watch this season, but it won't be the same. All the luster and shininess has left PR with the horrible horrible wrong that happened last season, and i'm not sure they can ever do anything to fix that.

SUNDAY PIC: Shouldn't We be Working?

The Office Door at my Job

So it was one very slow saturday night at work and our Kitchen Manager got bored and decided to barricade the office with the general manager inside.

The office Door at my job when we are bored
 

Needless to say my boss was not happy when he had to incredible hulk smash his way out of the office an hour later. The staff, however, has been giggling about it for two weeks.

We Will Now Return...

.... to our regularly scheduled posting. Sorry everyone, i kno,w I have been super MIA recently, but i've had a lot of stuff going on in my life. Stuff such as:

1. Work has exploded- the thing about working in a tourist trap as a waitress in the middle of the summer is- you're fucking busy. I went from working 25-30 hours a week to working like 37-42. I mean i had a 4 day stretch where i worked 36 hours. When you work a physically demanding job like waitressing (my restaurant has 3 levels) by the time you get off work all you want to do is sleep or get drunk or both. I've been doing both.

2. A New Project- I'm super excited about a new project i have been working on with my best bloggy buddies. I can't really tell you too much about it just yet, but we're working on it and It should be going by august. I'm super totes excited about it.

Anyways I've got some updates and shit to do right?

 Giveaway winners are:  Garnet and Kris. So if both of you will email me your addresses at thecoyoterose@gmail.com. I promise to get your prizes out in a more efficient time than i did announcing the winners (sometimes, i suck yo)

Okay, so anyone who follows my twitter, (and you totes should) might have seen me and several of my buddies get into a discussion with another blogger about something they wrote (who has their comments disabled). Trying to discuss this with her via 140 character was entirely fruitless because i could never clearly make my point. So dammit i am going to do it here. This is an actual screenshot of what she wrote on her blog. I'm not going to call out the blogger because I don't want to start a war over something so trivial, but i do want to fully explain my position.

I'm sorry if that is too small for some of you to read, but the part i really take problem with is this "A woman who says "no" 30 times and eventually acquiesces to sex because it's apparent "no" is just not being heard by this guy has been no less violated than the woman in the alley."

Wait.... what?

No, No, NO. That is not at all even remotely similar at all. If i choose to let a guy harass me into having sex with him, its still willfully my choice. He didn't toss on a bed and force me to have sex with him. He didn't roofie me and take advantage of my position, he didn't attack me, drag into a back alley and have sex with me. If I said yes to him asking me to have sex for the 300th time, I still said Yes. I still allowed it and gave my consent even if it was just to shut him up. To compare that to rape is beyond wrong and it trivializes what rape actually is.

I tried to explain this to the blogger who wrote it and her (albeit condescending remark) was that I must have never been in that position. Um, Yes Bitch I have. I've been drunk at bar and had guys try to take me home to the point of following me out to my car. I've had them ask and beg and plead. I've had to pry their hands off of me. I've had guys harass me through the internet to show them my boobs or to come to their houses. Every girl has had this problem, guys do this shit and think its okay. It's not okay. We shouldn't have to tell them no 50 times; we should only have to tell them once. But when they don't listen you tell them off, tell them to leave, leave the situation yourself, or threaten to call the cops. You do not give into them harassing you for something and they say its like rape.

ITS NOTHING LIKE RAPE.

The woman chooses to stay in that position with the asshole harassing her and she chooses to give into that harassment. A women being brutally raped in a dark alley didn't have any of those choices. She was taken against her will and force to have sex without her consent for any of it. She didn't have the choice to call the cops or leave the apartment. To even equate the two things is mind-numbingly ignorant and treats rape like it is some trifling, inconsequential event.
