watch/listen: public shaming myself

 I have something to admit: I'm ADD... and extremely forgetful.

Oh wait, you knew that. duh.

Some people forget and for some reason, they expect a lot out of me. They expect me to remember little things and they're shocked when I don't.

Case #847632: I forgot to turn my gas/fire stove off.



HELL YEAH, I'm worried about myself. HELL YEAH I know it's not okay... but like, that's not gonna prevent me from doing it again, unfortunately.

I went a step further to call my mom on the show to possibly get more punishment.... Mama Plog is a worry wart.


I'd say she has about 50% faith in me in life. She actually freaked out WAY MORE once we hung up and she got back on Facebook. I don't think she'll ever learn that I just can't help the way she made me.

But hey... CHEERS TO NOT BURNING THE PLACE DOWN, AMIRIGHT?!?!?!?

halloween 2015: diy my little pony costume

Halloween.... one of the holidays where I feel ALLLLLL the pressure to live up to the year before. I always put so much effort into my costumes, so I need to outdo, or at least live up to, the year before.

This year I decided to be Rarity, from My Little Pony. When I was searching for things with purple hair, there weren't many options, but I knew this one could be fun to play with when it came to my make-up and hair. It was.

*once again, be patient with me with my pics. I'm never prepared with a charged camera these days.*

-the bodysuit is from Amazon. I ordered it white so I could dye it the really pale periwinkle color. It's a lycra so it was tough, but with a heavy mix of purple AND blue, it worked out! Decided to go with shoes under the footies instead of worrying about hooves

-the ears are from a simple sheet of foam that I folded over a headband and hot glued at the tip for some shape

-the light up unicorn horn, or "light up dildohead," as it became, was a random lucky find from Target. I had to super glue it to a headband so it didn't always fall over. 

-a tail made of cheap purple yarn, hot glued onto the bodysuit finished the outfit!

I was probably MOST excited to do the hair. I bought some good blonde extensions and had Ruby dye them to match my hair, then found this tutorial for a "pull through braid" and somehow pulled it off. It's a little sloppier than I'd like but all the layers in my cut will do that. I also did it without a mirror, so, there's that. 

Also fun: The make-up

-purple eyebrows thanks to some Halloween make-up from the Spirit store
-NYX lip butter purple lipstick stayed on all night, even with the drinking
-Urban Decay was all over my eyes. I used a white pencil underneath to try and make them look bigger, and a bright blue and white on my eyelids.

Also, my parents are pretty great at Halloween. I mean, JUST LOOK AT THEM RIGHT NOW.

So beautiful.

So here's to another successful year of being something else for a night! Send me your costumes, I'll throw up a post of them later!

watch etv: mom learns to whip and nae nae, silento learns the white girl

By now you know how to Whip and Nae Nae [and in a couple weeks the song will disappear for a while until we're reminiscing]. He came into the studio one night to host the countdown with me and do some dancing.

Yes, of course we did the full dance together, but more importantly- I taught him how to do THE White Girl. [I should probably trademark that ish and come up with a song so I'm rich, bitch.]

[If no one on the Internet finds this funny, at least someone from his entourage who was filming did! Win.]

The face on his producer/friend on the left is priceless the entire time. That 16 year old is so not impressed with me.

Silento was awesome, by the way. Typical high school kid-hustler who said he knew this song was going to be a hit right away, even though everyone else in the room disagreed. He's also hella attractive, but I probably shouldn't say that in public since it'd be illegal.

Maybe they'd be impressed with Mama Plog, though. Each year we try to teach her a new dance [until one time she told me it felt like she was trying to achieve an O, which made me immediately run, cry, and hide for a couple years]. This year it was all about the "Watch Me" dance and a side of Stanky Leg.

[For the record, we could barely hear the music which is why I seem confused. Somehow it was loud enough on this here video.]

Now you know why it's so easy for me to get my White Girl on. Thanks, Mom. Your Stanky Leg is spot on.

love,
elizabethany

PS She can't be mad at me for this... it's still nothing compared to Papa Plog's dance moves.

celebrity lookalikes?: my twin sylvia yacoub on the voice

It's getting a little ridiculous how many people have tweeted, Facebooked, texted, etc about watching "my Greek twin" on The Voice. I'll admit it though- I see it.

Her name is Sylvia Yacoub, and though we don't look totally alike, I see where she could be the Greek version of me.

What ya think? Are these people right or delusional in thinking we're lookalikes?!

While we're at it, I'll throw in this one that I made on Halloween. My mom vs. The Wicked Witch. 

My mom informed me that I'll be getting coal for Christmas after making that pic, so I figured I might as well make it worth it.

pics: the time i took my mom to a drag show

My mom came to visit for the first time this past weekend so that we could join the BFF and her mom at the Darius Rucker/Lady Antebellum concert. BUT... things took a detour when I told the BFF's mom about a drag brunch that happens here [at Croc's on 19th St.] every Sunday.

They really had no idea what they were getting themselves into [I've been a couple times with work].. but who would really know what to expect on a nice Sunday brunch with a bunch of drag queens?! No one.

I told them to grab some ones and we went to see those fabulous ladies.

Considering the fact my mom doesn't even allow such words as suck, piss, or retard in our house, things got real awkward real quick. She got pretty into it after a little while, though! As you can see, the boobies threw her off a little bit, but I'll be honest- even I was fascinated with how real they looked [and felt].

I will say that I didn't dare look anywhere near the moms when one queen started singing "I don't care how you f#@* me, just f#@* me where you can." It's one of the funniest songs ever, I was geeking out, but I did not want to see their reactions.

[FYI: She said she wanted these pictures for herself and to show my dad, so I can only assume she meant she wanted them available for the world, right?! I mean let's be honest... my parents should know who their daughter is at this point. If they don't, HELLOOOO WAKE UP CALL.]

Don't worry, we did some normal things too. The concert was AWESOME [Thompson Square is freakin adorable and I think I have developed a SERIOUS crush on Charles Kelley of Lady A. He was real cool.], and we had some quality beach time yesterday.

If you ever do plan on taking your mom to a drag show, prepare yourself. Or maybe prepare them. And don't get a table in the very middle of the show... that could be even more awkward.

podcasts: my mom and i join candy95 again for the most awkward memory of my life

Because AIM is all brand new and [I think, anyway] making a fabulous comeback if you give it a chance, it made me reflect on all my AIM memories.

Ya know... chatroom boyfriends [my online boyfriend's sn was Redwing091. I still remember it like it was yesterday, and now we're totally Facebook friends], staying up all night chatting with your friends, subprofiles, and oh yeah- my mom reading everything if she ever got the chance.

One night she did get the chance, when I got up to pee, to read every little detail of one of my first sexcapades.

I asked my listeners how their parents found out they weren't innocent anymore, but then Frito at my old station, Candy 95, wanted to have both my mom and me on his show this morning after craziness went down on my Facebook status. Holy awkward.

Here are both of the podcasts from the different segments.




I could have gone the rest of my life without reminiscing on such a memory with my mom... seriously. Oof.

love,
elizabethany

watch etv: footage from my family's epic party

Every year my parents throw down hard for what we call "Plogerpalooza." All of their friends, my friends, my brother's friends, and our family come together for live music, rocket car races, dancing, moonbouncing, swimming, etc.

Oh, and alcohol and food. Duh.

A lot of you have been asking for more "real life" videos lately [which, BTW, you should be giving me more hours in a day when you do so, kthanks ;)] so I made sure I got some footage this time.

Check out what it's like at the 5th annual soiree, and see my mom do the Dougie. [Yes, really.]



Every year mom does something crazy. This year she did two things. The Dougie, and... well... a comment I don't ever wanna repeat but you can listen to the podcast and her response here.

And that's a Plogerpalooza! They say it was the last, but let's be real... I won't let that happen.

love,
