Karlita's Way

This is not Bob. As a stylist I have a side gig where I do something called “Closet Consults” at peoples homes. I live in Los Angeles so many of my clients are unknown actors/actresses that are trying to brand themselves or hone their look. I help them find any look….basically make them more current. I also make them throw out all the terrible, terrible things that exist in their closet they thought were cool five years ago in Middleofnowheresville. I never have any idea of what I am in for when I step through the door. Sometimes its a

Happy Birthday Momma! Buon Cumpleanno Mammasita! So its my mothers birthday this week. She could be the most difficult woman to buy for….ever. She is impossible. Vicki will NOT hesitate to tell you she does not like a gift. Promptly telling you to in her snotty upper crust accent “Return it and save your money”. She is British- enough said. You can imagine my excitement when I found the perfect Bday gift for her last weekend at the Santa Monica Flea Market!!! My mother reads a lot of books- like real books with pages in ’em, not a computer version.

YOU have to watch this new show I am obsessed with: “RU Paul’s Drag U”.I watched one episode and I am hooked. Its genius. Not only because they dress up real women and make them look like fabulous drag queens. Feather boas, wigs, bad gowns, lip syncing, nose shading and all…Also because Ru Paul has his own language. He says things to his “students” like:“ConDRAGulations” and “Let’s see how you scored on your DRAGxamination?” or my personal favorito: Ru refers to them as the “DRAGuating class of 2010”.I am not sure why I find this Ru drag-language so funny. I

I have a few rules when it comes to dating/seeing men/boyfriends……for example. NO BBM with a boy I’m involved with. It always creates drama. On both ends. every time I’ve folded and said “okay, we can be on bbm it smacks me back in the arse”.  NO BBM. They get mad cuz I receive but don’t respond…I get mad cuz they bbm me constantly…and on and on…. Another example: NO exercising with boys. I have a friend, let’s call her Melanie. She always hikes with guys. She LOVES hike dates. Me- NOT so much. Why? cuz ur sweaty, and in ugly workout

Last night my beau and I went to see Scott Pilgrim Vs, The World….I must say this movie was terrifically awesome.  Although the fighting got a bit much at the end and just when you thought there was more to come it thankfully came to a peaceful state.  It was creative, inventive, interesting and totally encompassed teenage want that can easily be related to adult relationships.My beau actually saw the movie for the real message……how can we get over the past when we start a new courtship? Battle our one true love’s exes??? With light sabers and comic book Kung

Shaq has some weird television show where he challenges other celebrities for money or something. I don’t know what it’s about…all I know is that tonight’s episode that was on in the background while I trolled around the world wide web reading people’s funny blogs fending off Dante’s Inferno… well tonight was Shaquille O’Neill (sp? who cares?) versus teen sensation Justin Bieber. The highlight of the episode was when…Justin went on stage in front of a thousand screaming teeny-boppers and the first thing bellowed in his deep puberty stricken voice was “Who wants to be my Baby?”And I kinda strangely wanted

Oh Mother… My Mother is truly one of a kind. For example, I just told her about my near death experience this past weekend. I was on the way to the drive-in movies with my man and the front gate attendant told us we had a flat tire. So we did an about face and decided to get it fixed asap and exited the theatre. As we left dozens of cars were racing out of the lot and we could not figure out why. As we fixed the tire at the nearby gas station we saw tons of cop cars and

Ultime. I am in love with this horse. My man’s parents own horses and they so graciously allow me to ride as often as I would like.  It brings me total and utter happiness. From the moment we step on to the ranch grounds I am like a four year old in the parking lot of Toys R Us.  Ultime has figured out that I am not as Alpha as she is. She likes to stroll and take total advantage of the amateur rider that I am. (Although I must make an admission here…..the owner of the ranch says “Karla,

Hey world… So I am feeling some blog envy. Is that awful to admit? I see all these interesting people blogging all over the web. Everyone I know insists i look at their friends blog and their cousins blog etc etc. Every word is so witty, the observations so clever, the poems are beautiful and the people all wear Wayfarers. How predictable. I don’t wear Wayfarers. I wear Aviators. Yeah, I liked Top Gun. Sure, you can call me Maverick. How do I make my entries interesting too? How do I brood via the keyboard? How do I try and

I have been looking forward to a hike all by my lonesome all day today. All I wanted was to exercise and be one with nature and my IPOD.   Finally the sun is setting and the weather is cooler so I make the time this evening to hike, alone. Lately I have gone with other people which is always nice but I was really really in the mood to jam to a little Journey, MJ and Gypsy Kings- alone.I arrive to the parking lot and guess what? MY IPOD WAS DEAD. deceased . a goner. well not really…..just had no battery.  But
