the best of pinterest this week 093011

I'm getting ridiculously addicted to Pinterest.

If you don't know what it is yet, it's another social media platform of sorts that is so easy and simple and pleasing, you can't help but love it. It's a virtual pinboard of things you love. You see something you like? You pin the picture of it to one of your boards. Wanna visit it again later? Click on the picture and it takes you directly to the website. It's genius.

I mostly use it for food, fashion, and crafty things, but there's just about everything on there. Gift ideas, wedding planning, decorations, technology items, photography, quotes, workout tips... Seriously- everything.

Check it out if you haven't yet! It may not be for you, but chances are [especially if you're female], it is.

Here are some of my favorite "pins" from this week. If anything intrigues you, click the picture and it'll take you to the pin!


AWESOME Halloween costume idea//DIY jewelry hangers/decor


Dr. Pepper and rum popsicles//Pizza in a cone


The perfect fall cooler//Caramel apple Jello shots


Pumpkin pie dip//Chicken Parmesan rolls


Fun idea for pictures//The most dreamy outdoor bed on the planet


I'll probably keep these going throughout the weeks! Also- since it's making me more girly and domesticated, I'll definitely be sharing some of the things I make/do thanks to seeing them on Pinterest!

Are you on it? Follow me! And tell me to follow you back!

watch etv: i train to become an nfl kicker

Remember when Ellen practiced with the Saints and I said I had something of the sort in the works? Okay, well, it's nowhere near as awesome as practicing WITH the NFL team, but I'm totally becoming a football player!

The wives/girlfriends/ladies of the Redskins players have created a fan club just for women, and I'm helping show people that chics can totally get into football, too!

For the next couple months I'm making videos of me "training" to become a football player. Of course for week one, I decided to go the easiest route [but probably the hardest for me, to be honest..]- Kicker/punter!



I mean... I knew I had no hand/eye/foot coordination when it came to balls and foreign objects, but I didn't think I'd be that awful. Oy.

I really wanna get some "official" people to help me in the next videos, so if you know any legit football players in the VA Beach area, or have someone I should try to get on them, holler! My dream is to get one of the Redskins or their wives on here, but we'll see how possible that is with their strenuous schedules.

elizabethany

PS: Lady Redskins fans! You should join WOW! It's free and they have special parties and perks and stuff for you! Um... DEAL!

first impressions of real world: san diego


Last night was the premiere of the Real World's 26th season in San Diego, and as usual, we totally chatted it up! Doing a night radio show can't hold me down!

Because it's fun to look back on what we originally thought would happen, a summary of what went down in the chatroom is totally necessary. Mike said [in the chat] that you can't judge a show on its first episode, but that's a lie. You can judge anything within seconds, and that's what we all do. Doesn't mean it's right, but who always wants to be right? Not this girl.

My personal first impression: I think it'll be easy to like Sam, hate Zach, and envy Ashley. Those are probably the only strong vibes I've gotten so far. I could either love Frank's addition to the show, or be really annoyed quickly. We'll have to see how that plays out.

As for the season, I hope more happens than what was implied in the promos and "coming up" clips. It doesn't have me super excited to watch, but you bet I will!

Here's the general consensus of the chat last night:


I think most of us think there will certainly be some good parts... but we're not getting any extreme feelings of *OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT!*


Zach, "the alpha male," has to get in one, right? But it's Frank who seems to be the serious instigator.


Sam is definitely going to bring an element that hasn't been seen on the show before. It should be pretty refreshing and entertaining. Frank will probably be more of the typical "Real World entertainment."


We all said that if Sam and Priscilla are gonna shower together, twice, in the same night, something is bound to happen in the future... right?! Plus- it seemed like Priscilla was practically asking for an experimental night. Maybe a makeout will happen, at the very least. And let's be honest... Barbie and Ken have to hook up. Again.


I'm surprised people had this response so early on, especially considering the dude barely did anything, but there's something douchey about the way he stands and looks. Hopefully this changes. I'd rather not have someone I want to punch in the face again. He's a little large for me to be doing all that.

There may not be a "forgotten one," and I normally hope there's not. The question still has to be asked, though.. and with Priscilla being a young buck, she's the most likely.

And in other, less important opinions: Their house is LE-GIT. I just want the roof. It totally trumps the Jersey Shore roof. The intro for this season is less than mediocre, though. Lame.

Agree? Disagree? WHAT YA THINK?! I wanna know your thoughts if you couldn't join us in the chat!

I'm also working on something special for the next episode. I think you're gonna like it. ;)

Here's to another fabulous season of the Real World together!

elizabethany

PS- Follow the entire cast here!

watch: "it's the 90s!"

Oh, this is fantastic. GET IN THE 90s, Y'ALL!

That's basically what's going on this video. Movies, shows, everything... reminding others that it's time to step into the 90s, cuz that's where it's at, duh.



And there's your daily 90s intake for the day. Check it off the to-do list.

watch: erin andrews shows wvu love on jimmy kimmel

When College Gameday announced they were going to Morgantown, I was ecstatic, but also pretty nervous. We're known for getting rowdy, and we're damn proud of it... but I don't think we always know when to calm the f down.

Luckily, Erin Andrews confirmed that we do know how to get down and dirty, but also be respectful to ESPN! YAY! Apparently she loved us.. or so it seemed on Jimmy Kimmel.



I'm loving her more and more... She's pretty awesome.

And Morgantown really did look awesome on Gameday last Saturday. Not on the field [obviously], but the weekend-long show was fantastic. Here's to hoping they head up the mountains again!

watch: 5 reasons to be gay

FCK H8 is at it again, and I'm lovin' it, as usual!

Which belief are they attacking this time? "Gay people choose to be gay, they're not born that way."

Watch it. Don't you scroll down.



They have the best way of going about all of this stuff. On my list of things to do: See if there's any way I can join forces with them or be a part of one of their videos.

Share it. It's a free way of giving money to a good cause.

what 90s sitcoms would look like as comics

This man Stephen Emond is fun. Why? Because he has turned sitcoms into comic books.

He even turned some of the greatest ones from the 90s into fake comic books, and now I wish they'd really happen.





I wanna know why "Full House" wasn't included. Maybe a little "Boy Meets World?" Here's to hoping they're on their way.

watch etv: meet the faces and places of my new job at hot 100.5!

I did a similar video when I first got to Candy, and to mark the first night that I'm running the show solo, I put together this video so you will know exactly who and what I'll be talking about!

See what the [awesomely colorful and fun] studio looks like, the fancy equipment, and probably most importantly- meet the other people who are on-air! [And get used to their beauty... You'll probably be seeing a lot of them!]



I really do love this place already [even though I'm still homeless until this weekend!], and am SO thankful to have been given this opportunity. I'm gonna rock out hard once I'm 100% settled, so brace yourselves!

love,
elizabethany

PS: Follow my coworkers on Twitter! Corey! Bobby [even though I still have to teach him how]! and my not-video'd boss, Paul!

midday hangover 092611


Oh, HI! Happy Monday! Thanks to Betty White and her rapping abilities for getting my week started beautifully.

What else ya got, world?
Celeb ish
That's all for this moment in time! Lots more on the line-up to be posted today, though! Including a video introducing you to all of my new coworkers!

elizabethany

listen: betty white raps "i'm still hot"

Oh, this is incredible. Betty White is like a born again woman in the recent years!

I don't know if she should have taken it this far, but I'm not going to lie... I fully enjoyed listening to this song and pumping my fists to it at 8am.

The gal joins Luciana to declare that She's Still Hot!



Freaking. Hysterical.

Apparently it's an advertisement for Lifeline insurance, but WHO CARES?!

They've even got a "life changing" video to accompany it this week. You bet your bottom dollar I'll post it!

Amazeballs.
