Glamour. Heh.

by Soliloquy on October 21, 2008

One of my new favorite people on the planet is Marcy from The Glamorous Life. She thinks her blog is so funny because it’s supposed to be tongue-in-cheek “glamorous”. Except that it kind of loses the tongue-in-cheek part when you meet her because she’s from L.A. – helloooooo? and thereby glamorous by default.

I’m playing along today in her G.I.R.L. party. Click on over for more fun. Tell her I sent you.

I’m so not glamorous. And I can prove it.

This is my spa tub. It doesn’t exactly say “Come luxuriate in a tub of bubbles. Forget your cares and let yourself be taken away.”

The only thing I know about glamour is how to copy glamorous people. Like my new keychain? Look familiar? Heh.

And finally, I committed the cardinal sin of buying a knock off bag this weekend. Again, I totally copied someone. I’m not proud of it. It’s the only knock off I own but it is a source of tremendous guilt. Not sure I’ll be able to carry it at all. For real.

I’m klassy that way. With a k.

I am CRACKING up. Such a tribute to the glamorous life. And ME.

Yeah- guess what I used my knock off bag for today- to carry canned goods for the give away at school. Now if any of the other moms saw me and thought for one minute that my Fory Furch was real- they must have thought I was INSANE. Well, they wouldn’t be far off.

Thanks so much for playing. It just isn’t a party till you come.

Your bath tub is a crime scene! What’s more fab than that?

Knock offs are knock out on a budget…and who isn’t on one? Any idea where I can find a green patent leather Mulberry knock-off?

Love the spa-quarium too…perfection.

I thought the knock-offs were specifically intended for regular moderately glamorous people like me to buy. I don’t know if I own a ‘real’ anything… oh well, now there goes my ‘secret’!

By the way – that’s one thing I have sworn: if and when I ever have a jacuzzi tub, I will not let my kiddos leave their dolphins, mermaids, sharks, etc., in there if I ever let them use MY tub. I loved this picture – it was a TOTAL reinforcement for that promise I made to myself. LOL!!!

I can’t even show you my tub – the cats did something horrible in there and I’m trying to ignore it away.

My key-chain’s a carabiner (karabiner)(whatever).

I don’t even have a purse, handbag, whatever that thing is…and I didn’t recognize who yours is a knock-off of.

My Crocs are real! Sigh.

I make wicked banana bread, though…so can I come to the party anyway??

Shade and Sweetwater,

SO WEIRD! I have that exact same bag! What a coincidence.

I am a huge fan of Marcy too…

Well I think your purse is a knock out. If you choose not to carry it, send it my way.
I would glamorously carry that thing like no bodies business. I mean I’d flaunt it, my nose would be so up they’d know it was real.

i’m from palm springs and people always assume i must be glamorous. but anyone that’s ever been to palm springs knows that if you’re going to go by stereotypes it should actually make me either gay or a senior citizen with a passion for golf. :P

So, so funny! And true : ). My bathtub always has millions of toys in it. There is no champagne and no bubbles and relaxing in that tub : )! I am rather fond of knock of bags. My husband got me a real coach bag and I refuse to use it because I don’t want it to get ruined. I use my knock off coach bag EVERY SINGLE day as my work bag and I love it : ). I am not glamorous either. Not.at.all!

I’m so (un)glamorous, I don’t even know which brand your purse is pretending to be!
At least your children (and their toys) have good taste when it comes to tubbing. Is that a word?
My hubby claims to have gotten me a real Coach bag (which I love regardless), but he got it overseas, so I am skeptical. Like Rebeckah, I am loathe to use it. I’d hate to be guilty of causing someone else handbag envy!
