Apparently, Constantine’s little groupies found this post and took to posting about me and my need for a stylist. Lets play nice – I did say that he was potentially bangable. And I don’t want him to put his hair up in rollers – I want him to get that shit cut off and look like he showered. Thanks for the traffic though.

I like to sing. 80’s music. Really loudly in the car. And I often don’t know all the words so I shamelessly make them up as I go – so it didn’t take but a song or two for me to fall in love with the soundtrack to the Tony nominated Rock of Ages. It’s full of loud, arena-rock ballads from the 80’s belted out with a Broadway flair, so you can totally understand all of the words.

The Broadway musical stars American Idol finalist Constantine Maroulis – who would be totally bangable after a quick trip to a hair stylist. In the musical, a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer in a Sunset Strip rock club and they fall in love to the metal rock of the 80’s.

Seriously, who wouldn’t swoon to these songs…

• Just Like Paradise / Nothin’ But A Good Time
• Sister Christian
• We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands
• I Wanna Rock
• We’re Not Gonna Take It
• Heaven/More Than Words / To Be With You
• Waiting For A Girl Like You
• Wanted Dead Or Alive
• I Want To Know What Love Is
• Cum On Feel The Noize / We’re Not Gonna Take It(Reprise)
• Harden My Heart / Shadows Of The Night
• Here I Go Again
• The Final Countdown
• Any Way You Want It / I Wanna Rock (Reprise)
• High Enough
• I Hate Myself For Loving You / Heat Of The Moment
• Hit Me With Your Best Shot
• Can’t Fight This Feeling
• Every Rose Has Its Thorn
• Oh Sherrie
• The Search Is Over
• Don’t Stop Believin

If you’re a rocker at heart, you totally have to buy Rock of Ages – or you could just win a copy! Super easy to enter, just leave a comment with your favorite 80’s song!

Uh oh…I’m not a mommy blogger, should I be posting about baby formula?

Of course, because I have had a steady stream of baby cousins in my life for the past 13 years that I love to hold and feed and – yes – even change their diapers. If my husband and I ever have choose to have children we will be choosing formula over breast milk for a variety of reasons, one of which being that we come from a family of happy and healthy bottle fed babies (another of which being that it might slightly creep me out to have a kid attached to my nipple).

I know several new moms that have chosen to breastfeed over using formula because of the cost, but parents can still forumula feed their baby and not break the bank. Consumer Reports has recommended that parents who choose to formula feed save up to 50% per ounce by buying store brands of formula – like Walmart’s Parent’s Choice – or switching to powdered formula – both of which meet the nutrient requirements specified by the FDA. Since Consumer Reports is known for their unbiased product reviews and recommendations, parents can feel confident that the research is reliable and that formula can make nutritional and fiscal sense for their family.

This simple baby formula savings calculator shows you just how much money parents can save buying Parent’s Choice infant formula available at Walmart compared to the leading national brands. The savings is staggering and Parent’s Choice formula is nutritionally complete and of the highest quality.

The savings can be as much as $600 a year just be switching to a store brand like Parent’s Choice. That’s enough to buy a really nice purse baby bag!

Blogher was definitely a weekend to remember!

I arrived Friday night and my first impression was that it was crowded, claustrophobic, and chaotic, and I was disappointed that I couldn’t quite catch-up with anybody I had planned to meet – unless of course they were ignoring me in which case it’s totally their loss.

I went into Saturday with a bad attitude that just got worse when there were no swag bags available at check-in – which is absolutely ridiculous because there are a finite number of people that registered. And before I get accused of being a dirty swag hag, I didn’t even get an agenda so I wandered around like a hobo all day – so go play with your free Mister Potato Head and just shut your whore mouth.

I’m joking people – don’t get your free Hanes panties in a bunch.

But the day quickly redeemed itself with great speakers (well – in the one session that I actually attended and excluding the toe picker), a slight loss in inhibitions which lead to meeting some of my favorite bloggers (I don’t want to name drop but I hugged/shook hands with/cat called/stared at from afar  Miss Britt, Avitable, The Bloggess, and Redneck Mommy and Pioneer Woman in that order), being chauffeured around downtown Chicago in a brand new Camero and the Weinermobile, parties, and fried macaroni and cheese.

Seriously, is there anything better than fried macaroni and cheese? I think Paula Deen would agree that it would make the perfect last meal.

I also hung out with more than a handful of regional bloggers – holy shit who knew there was so much blogging talent in Northwest Indiana – who should start gearing up for #elsalto NOW and met my name twin!

For a split second (okay – 14 hours) I thought I’d wasted $200 registering for Blogher 2010, but now I’m counting down the days! See you bitches in NYC!

Congratulations to our winners – Laurie and Megan Z!

This giveaway is a Prizey Editor’s Pick so if you’re here from Prizey, thanks for stopping by!

Have you seen me at Blogher? Do I look thinner than you imagined? More trim? Less jiggly? That’s because I’m wearing Spanx. The Hide & Sleek Body Shaper, to be exact. I wore my Spanx bodyshaper with jeans and a blazer to parties on Friday night and again today underneath a sundress.

This was the first time I had tried Spanx because I always figured that they were super tight and my chub would just squeeze out somewhere else, but the bodyshaper was really easy to wear and I was smooth from my boobs to my booty.  It even gave my tush a little lift – which I totally need because I have pancake ass.

Now Spanx wants to help shape up 2 winners by sending them their choice of a Spanx product! In addition to bodyshapers, Spanx also makes bras and slimming camis (please remember that camis are to be worn under other items of clothing), panties, shaping leggins and capris, tights, and apparel! They even make these fabulous shirts with tummy panels to unbake that muffin top! I have to order myself some of those!!

Thanks to Spanx for keeping me “together” at Blogher! Lord knows I needed it after three consecutive days of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and room service.

If that is what Katie Holmes calls dancing, then I’m Ginger-frickin-Rogers. All she did was goose-step back and forth across the stage and wiggle her shoulders like she was trying to shake off dandruff.
