When we last spoke with Little Miss Crazy Possessive, child pop star-turned club vixen Kaci Battaglia was laying down tracks for her first album, so we asked her who she’d most like to work with. After laying down the rule that dead people were exempt (her first reply: Judy Garland), she mentioned some rappers, namely Flo Rida, Ludacris, and Lil Wayne.
She can scratch one of those from her list.
If we’re being honest, Battaglia’s music doesn’t exactly speak to us, but then again, it’s not supposed to. It’s an anthem for girls gone wild, and if you’re lucky enough to get in with those girls gone wild, then this is the best song you’ve ever heard. Complete with step-by-step instructions on how exactly to do a body shot (you know, in case you’re unclear about the concept), not to mention a very amusing guest performance by Ludacris (“These girls wanna try some things, and I’m gonna be the one they try it on”), this clip has more girl-on-girl action than a late-night Skinemax movie. What you do with the volume is ultimately up to you, but you need to see this video. Kaci’s gorgeous, and you couldn’t wear less clothes without being naked. Boiiiiiiing.
Labor Day weekend is here, and summer is winding down, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy a refreshing cocktail in the late summer sun.
Grey Goose Vodka, one of the sponsors of US Open Championships, has created the Honey Deuce cocktail for tournament spectators. The drink will be served at satellite bars around the tournament grounds in a collector’s souvenir cup. Here’s the recipe:
1¼ part Grey Goose Original Vodka
2 parts fresh lemonade
¼ part premium raspberry-flavored liqueur
Frozen honeydew melon balls
Fill a highball or double old-fashioned glass with crushed ice. Add Grey Goose Vodka and fill the rest of the cup with lemonade to a half inch below the rim. Drizzle premium raspberry-flavored liqueur over the top. Garnish with frozen honeydew melon.
We have to admit it sounds delicious, and we’d love to be at the Open enjoying one of these drinks. We’ll have to settle for making some for ourselves at our Labor Day picnic.
We recently reviewed Utz Pretzels and talked about how generally awesome they are.
But Utz, like most snack companies, is constantly trying to improve their brand and to compete with other snack makers. So for this summer, Utz introduced, among other new snacks, these pretzel pieces in three flavors–Cheddar, Buttermilk Ranch, and Honey Mustard and Onion.
Now, these aren’t like regular pretzels that are crispy and malty and salty and awesome. The flavored pieces are more like a different kind of snack altogether, with the pretzel being a vehicle for the flavor of choice. And Utz brings the flavor in a big way, in some cases a bit too much. Here is how we sum up these pretzel pieces:
Cheddar–Okay, scratch what I just said about not being like regular pretzels. Because one thing you notice here is that these are Utz Pretzels, which are in a different class than most pretzel brands. Then you get the big cheddar flavor, which is sharp and bold and holds up to the palate of this Wisconsin based cheese snob.
Buttermilk Ranch–Well, this one wasn’t as pleasant. The ranch flavor is quite processed, like they took the pretzels and shook them in a bag of Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix. It also had an unpleasant onion-y aftertaste.
Honey Mustard & Onion–Unlike the ranch and cheddar, this flavor wasn’t as potent, but subtle enough to where you keep tasting the different flavors coming together as one. And with that, you want to keep eating them. Or at least I did. These are actually NOT too onion-y, and the sweet mustard flavor is awesome.
We received samples of all of the new Utz Snacks, so we’ll be reviewing more in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, if you try these pretzel pieces, feel free to leave your own comment in the space below. Thanks for reading and munching with me!
Our friends at Rockport sent us a pair of Black Fassler’s to check out and we were impressed. The first thing you notice is the sleek styling of these full grain leather slip-ons. You can’t appreciate how lightweight these shoes feel without trying them on. I’m also attracted to handsome shoes like the RockPort Fassler because of the padded collar. It makes a world of difference regarding comfort on my heels.
Speaking of comfort, the adiPRENE® footbed keeps the comfort level high while the highly shock-absorbent cushioning protects the heel at impact. The cushy polyurethane sole gives your Rockport Fassler s great flexibility with a personalized fit. Rockport got it just right with the bicycle toe to keep your look stylish and confident!
Overall: Quality and style you would expect from Rockport with a price point that makes it all affordable.
