Week in Review: Driving is for Suckers, Make-up and Leonardo DiCaprio (links)

This was my first week back working full-time at an agency so I am now…tired. but excited.

Even the roughest of weeks usually don’t start out with a first day of work and a car accident, but I managed to recover with a hint of composure.

OK. Not very much. But I made it.

On this site, posting was light.I wrote this one article about life in LA, image-obsession and Kanye West er…remaining calm in the face of a challenge to your beliefs….err…hoes.

Other internet thingies (Thanks to KP for sending me these)

• Can you the habits of dating men advise your path to becoming a successful entrepreneur? Probably.
• Want more respect from your coworkers? Sad, but true, makeup makes you appear more competent. Maybe this is why I feel naked without mascara?
• Since everyone, at this point, knows that I’m a scrappy bitch: How to toast setbacks. Have some faith in yourselves, people.

Incidentally last night I went to the screening/mini-premiere of the new Leonardo DiCaprio movie (director by Clint Eastwood) J. Edgar. And, I wasn’t a fan. In fact, Leo’s fake hair is hard to stare at for the entirety of the film but that wasn’t the worst part. Most importantly, I wanted to report that Naomi Watts is a tiny human in real life and that the camera adds 20 lbs to people making them appear to be almost-normal-sized on screen when in real life they are pygmies.

Something to think about when you’re watching movies/ reading magazines/ thinking about being a normal sized human.

The star-stalking culture is really weird here, too. I haven’t tasted that part of LA yet until last night. Of course, when we left the theatre, there were paparazzi chasing a few people across the street and random fans trailing behind them. As we left the after-party a little while later, a few stragglers lingered outside. When one asked if if he had just seen my date signing autographs, I had to laugh…What has become of my life y’all?

Happy Friday.
