super bowl/football nails!

Ever heard of Jamberry nail wraps? Me neither... until a little while ago... and I was super pumped to try them out! As soon as I got them, I realized I had bit all my nails off one drunken night... because of course. 

I decided to go to the nail salon for the first time in five years and get some acrylics [wow prices have gone up....] so I could make magic happen. 

Naturally, with the Super Bowl coming up, I had them paint my nails burgundy so I could do a yellow/football accent nail myself! [I don't care if my 'Skins aren't in the game... I still rep them. 

Pretty neat, RIGHT?! 

They come as these little strips that you measure to your nails, peel off, heat up a little bit, and then bond them to your nail. [You can see the instructions video here.] It's definitely easy to do, but mine have a few wrinkles that I assume are just because it's not going to be perfect the first time. Luckily, they're not visible because most of the football wrap is clear.  

These are all the designs I got... 

I love that the football and chevron ones are clear backgrounds so that I can put whatever color I want underneath... and when I master these things, the other ones will be awesome to use to cover a whole nail with the quickness and hottness. They even have a ton of college ones!

They're supposed to last about two weeks, but since I just put mine on yesterday, I can't confirm that. I will totally update this whenever they do start to look trashy, though. 

Also cool: They come in so many sizes that you could easily do your toes, too... or just do accent nails and they'll last a LONG time.

If you wanna try some out [which I think you should since nail art is "all the rage" right now and this is an awesome look that doesn't require an artist or a ton of money] check out this website and Jessica Causer, who gave me these! She also has some fun pics of her nails on her Instagram.

And since you know I like sales... she's doing buy 3, get one free! BAM!

Let me know if you've ever tried these things! Or just link your pics so we can see them!

watch etv: i got straight up ugly for my latest vlog

People tell me to make "Jenna Marbles style vlogs" allll the time. It's weird, cuz I feel like my old videos were kiiind of that style [mixed in with clips of Real Worlders], but also, as much as I think we're ridiculously alike, I don't wanna try to do what she does so well!

So, I didn't do a Marbles video, but I did come up with something to just talk about and act out... and this time it was all about ugly people. They're winning lately, if you didn't notice.


People have been taking screenshots and posting them on my Facebook, which is making my life.

Mike N. made this because "it needed to be done."

And just because you're awesome and checking this out on my blog, I made this gem for you. 

Yeah, you're welcome.

Feel free to give me any ideas for vlogs in the future... or maybe I'll continue with the winning theme.

pinspired recipe: bacon cheeseburger dip is delicious

It's kinda a skewed concept: You're poor, so you invite people over to watch football, and make food. While I may be sparing myself about 20 calories, I probably spend just as much.

That doesn't matter when it's worth it, though! The other day I made this delicious looking bacon double cheeseburger dip!

Well, that's what the original picture looked like, anyway. Take a less experienced cook and food photographer, and this is what you get:

Pre-lettuce....

Post-lettuce [and grubbing, obviously.]

It may not look as delectable and presentable as the original, but lemme tell you- It was delicious! Here's how to do it: 

Needed [to make enough to keep at least 8 people happy]: 

• 1 lb ground beef
• 12 strips of bacon
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 8 ounces of fat-free cream cheese [trying to save myself SOME of the calories!]
• 1 cup of fat free plain greek yogurt [or sour cream, if you're not cutting calories]
• 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
• 1 1/2-2 cups of cheese, your choice. We used cheddar and pepper jack.
• 1/4 cup of ketchup
• Whatever spice you like to add when making burgers
• Lettuce, tomatoes, and any other toppings you include on your burgers.
• Tortilla chips or baguette slices

To do: 

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook the ground beef in a pan with added spices and drain.
3. Cook the bacon until crispy, set aside, but keep about a tablespoon of grease.
4. Add the onion to the grease and saute until tender. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. 
5. Mix the ground beef, bacon, onions and garlic, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheese, and ketchup and pour it into a baking dish. [I used an 9x9 dish] 
6. Bake until the cheese is golden brown and the sides are bubbling.
7. Let cool for a couple minutes, then add chopped up lettuce and diced tomatoes. 
8. Let everyone swoon!

I feel like everyone's been on the buffalo chicken dip bandwagon lately, which is delicious, but if you bring a little somethin' different, you'll earn points! And this is simple and enjoyable for everyone! [You could even make it with ground turkey for turkey burger dip, hayyy!]

If you try it, let me know!

MY super bowl xlvi: food, beverages, and commercials

Happy Super Hangover Day! [As I dubbed it last year, anyway.] Apparently 1.4 million people will try and call out sick today. Luckily I get to lay in bed all day and recover from this food hangover.

Instead of going over everything all the other websites are recapping, I shall share with you how I celebrated Super Sunday, and my favorite moments of the game and the aftermath.

I had a couple people over for a homemade pizza night with some snacks and 6 different kinds of beer. [Each person brought a different kind, it was neat!] My choice: the new Bud Light Platinum. You better believe I felt really freakin' cool every time those commercials came on. Plus! The bottles are so pretty! I can't wait to make things from Pinterest with them!

Hell YES I was wearing Redskins stuff! Including my "Hail Yeah" earrings! And I wasn't the only one repping a team that wasn't in the game. Say hello to "Party Girl" from the station and her ugly shirt:

Now onto the important things: The food. I made this delicious Beer Cheese Dip that I found on Pinterest [duh.]

It was REALLY good. People couldn't stop scarfing it down. I did have a little leftover this morning, and the beer flavor was twice as strong as it was last night. So if you do make it, and you want the beer flavor stronger than the cheese, keep that in mind.

We also did a pizza night, where I bought 4 doughs and sauce, and then each duo of people makes their own pizza with their favorite toppings, then you share and try everyone's! It's super fun and super easy! [And really not that expensive, either!]

That's an olive, pepperoni, and pepper pizza, a barbeque chicken and pineapple pizza, a buffalo chicken pizza, and your average pepperoni pizza. All of them- SO GOOD.

As for the game- I'm pissed. I was definitely rooting for the Patriots, but whatever. We won't get into that.

The commercials: I'm kinda obsessed with the "Here WeGo" commercial for Bud Light.



I'm also super pumped for the new M&M. She is SASSY! And the alcohol may have helped, but we totally LOL'ed at this commercial.



And then there was Madonna. Ugh. What a let-down, right?! It could have been so epic, but, it just wasn't. I think the dancers were more epic than her, her fall, or MIA's stupid, selfish finger.

Now, before any of us get entirely too sick of one of the greatest American holidays, I need to go wake-up my roommate and take care of my house's hangover. Hott damn it's a mess down there.

elizabethany

watch: super scandalous peta super bowl ad

Tweet I should warn you that even though no goodies are exposed in this video, it's probably not something you should be watching at work if people will see it.

Plus... you just might pop something up while watching, and that's always awkward with others around.

PETA is known for their controversial ads they try to get aired during the Super Bowl, and normally they lose the battle. Something tells me they'll be losing again this year.

They took outtakes from one of their previous casting calls to prove why vegetarians are better at sex.



Thank goodness the guy comes in for a little comedic relief! That's some serious veggie-time.

tunes on tuesday 021610

Helloooo, Tuesday! How ya doin'?!


Rihanna--> Rude Boy



The video is definitely different, but I like it because of that! People seem to be 50/50 all over the Internet, but other than her overall fashion/look, I love the video!


Lil Wayne ft. Eminem--> Drop The World



You should probably know by now I'm not a huge fan of Lil Wayne's, but I know people love him. That being said, I don't know if I can even understand why everyone would like this song. Who knows.


Livvi Franc--> Automatik



Hmmm.. I totally liked "I'm That Bitch" from her, but this one is just okay to me. Not super excited about it.


Miley Cyrus--> When I Look at You



This is a bit serious for little Miley, isn't it?! I like that she's aiming for more "real" songs or whatever, but I don't think I enjoy her singing such songs. Maybe it'll grow on me like "The Climb" did.


Timbaland ft. Katy Perry--> If We Ever Meet Again



Um... I love it. I don't know why. I like Timbaland, so that might have something to do with it. I'm totally okay with the auto-tuning. It's fun.


Breaking Benjamin--> Give Me a Sign



They sound oh-so-Daughtry in this song. It makes me like it, but makes me mad it's not Daughtry. Hmph.


A Rocket to the Moon--> Like We Used To



Maybe all of these songs just sound the same... Truth?


Ciara Corr--> Get My Way



Another cocky B is hittin' your radio waves, watch out! I'm not a fan of her look, first of all. The song: It's funny. Give me a few more listens then I'll decide my final answer.


T Pain ft. Young Jeezy--> Reverse Cowgirl



:-O How raunchy! I'm groovin' to it, though! Ohh snap.


James Otto--> Groovy Little Summer Song
Unlike the title says, I don't find this to be a summer song that I will be groovin' to all summer long. [I'm beginning to think I'm in a bad music mood today, though.]

Brantley Gilbert--> Kick it in the Sticks
Interesting song. This guy is coming on strong, hard, very country, but I think I dig it!

The Haters--> Jenny
Haaa, someone is called The Haters! I like them! Another co-ed group!

William Riley--> Who Dat Roll [We Just Won the Superbowl]
Oh dang! I would have never expected a COUNTRY song to be the first song to celebrate the Saints winning the Superbowl! It's fun! I totally enjoy it! Aw, yay!


That's all for this week! Enjoy the new playlist!

the best of super bowl 44

Because you want to know, I'm going to tell you what I thought about last night's big game.

I'm going to completely skip over the halftime show, because that was just a waste of my time and I'm pissed about it. I'd rather not waste any more of my time on The Who.

As for the game- YAY SAINTS!!! I said I'd be rooting for them last week, I made a bet [for ice cream] during the game while they were losing, and sure enough, for once, the team I rooted for came through victorious!

I'm mostly excited for them because of moments like this that were seen afterward:

It was maybe the most precious moment I have ever seen in my life. All of the pictures of the team celebrating and Bourbon street going nuts give me chills.

It was a really great freakin' game. My eyes were glued to the TV the whole time. And like the Baltimore Sun says, there's a lot we learned from that game.

So, CONGRATS to the Saints! I believed in you! [Also- I know how to correctly pronounce "New Orleans," unlike all of the commentators and refs.]


Moving right along to the important part of the show... The commercials.

Maybe it's just me, or maybe it was the drinks successfully going down one by one, but all of the good commercials seemed to be within the first quarter. Correct?! Maybe the first half.

Anyway, here are my favorites [in no particular order]:


Doritos and their house rules:



So. Freakin'. Great. The kid is cute and hilarious, and... Well, that's enough for me.


Coca-Cola meets The Simpsons



Everyone has googly eyes for The Simpsons right now because of their anniversary, and leave it to Coke to capitalize on it. A job very well done.


Hyundai and Brett Favre's retirement



I love that Brett Favre can laugh about it, but I really am annoyed by his retirement actions. Anyway, this is absolutely my favorite commercial of the night. I laughed out loud... Very loudly.


Bud Light does the auto-tune with T-Pain



Ya know, it didn't seem like there were that many celeb cameos on the ads this year... Could it be the economy?! Everyone's jumped on T-Pain's autotune bandwagon, and though it's a little late, I say better late than never for Bud Light.


DefeatTheDebt.com and the kids



Maybe this commercial is attacking the government a bit, and maybe some people think kids shouldn't be saying such things... Pfffttt! I think this commercial was genius, hilarious, and completely unexpected. A+++.


Everyone is talking about their favorites today, of course.. And though I didn't LOVE any of these, everyone else does, so I figure I should share them:


I'm just over the whole late-night war thing.




Cool- alright. Amazing, blow me away commercial? Not at all.


Megan Fox-- Meh.


If you want to watch them all, I think most of them are right here... For your convenience!


As a side-note: The show after the game, Undercover Boss-- GREAT show so far! I definitely enjoyed it and the idea behind it. Bravo, CBS!


That's all for this year's football. Gah. Excuse me while I go cry for a few months.

love, e archive: 10 things football fans shouldn't do

Many of you are fairly "new" to this site. AKA You've found out about it within the last few months.

Because of that, and because the Super Bowl is just two days away, I think it's important to look back on a significant post from this time last year..... [Click the link below to read more.]

-------------

It's SUPER BOWL WEEK!!! So how does love, elizabethany get prepared for such an event? Well, a football themed Top 10 Thursday, of course!!

In order to pick what I wanted to do, I thought of the 2 teams in the World Championship of football.... And it clicked. One of the teams [I'm not going to say which, but it should be pretty obvious] has really obnoxious fans. What makes them so obnoxious? A lot of things. Some of them being within the

10 Worst Things an NFL "Fan" Could Do or Be

things to have at your super bowl party

The Super Bowl is coming up and since the halftime show won't be exciting [as usual], and the post-season is also not too exciting this year, you're going to need to put a little effort into your Super Bowl party.

So, here I am again, coming to save the day! Giving you two things that should absolutely be in attendance on February 7th.

Numero uno: the Sausage Football

Why explain the need to have this?! Could it get any more perfect?! Delicious salami to munch on in the shape of your favorite pigskin ball! Imagine the football crackers, and maybe cheese cut out in the shape of helmets with the help of cookie cutters... OMG!


Numero dos: The floating beer

Everyone is going to have beer at their party... The trick is to have magical beer. Magical beer= beer that floats, spins, and is lit up. Sure, it doesn't serve much of a purpose other than looking cool, but sometimes that's what ya gotta do. I can only imagine a beautiful Blue Moon floating and shining like the top of the Chrysler building.


Stay tuned because I will absolutely have more for you as it gets closer! You can't have the most kickass party around without the most kickass items.

elizabethany

superbowl halftime show: the who

The halftime show for Super Bowl XLIV has been announced... The Who will be performing.

"Did you hear the old Britist rock group is performing at the Super Bowl this year?!"
"The who?!"
"YEAH! You did hear! I don't know who they are, though... Do you?!"
"No but... Who's playing?!"
"The Who! You don't know them either?!"
"WHO IS PLAYING?!"
"The Who is playing!"
... This convo could go on forever....

I'm so disappointed. The Janet Jackson incident was six years ago. When will the guys in charge ever get over it?!

They even admit that they've been picking these older rockers as a safety net, and even though it happened back in 2004, Janet's boob haunts them.

The way I look at it- Everyone has learned their lesson... For now. If they were to go back to the old days of having exciting groups from today, those people would know better than to pull such a stunt. Give it another couple years, and people will have the balls to try it again.

Let's just take a look at the past 10 performances:

XXXIV


XXXV [My favorite ever... For obvious reasons, and for its creativity... And it's probably your favorite, too.]


XXXVI


XXXVII


XXXVIII [The incident]


XXXIX


XL


XLI [Maybe the closest to getting a little risky..]


XLII


XLIII



They're just not exciting like they used to be. Prince turned his guitar into a wang, but that's about the only excitement we've gotten. [And maybe Bruce Springsteen's crotch hitting the camera.]

They used to switch up the producing group [Disney, MTV, Clear Channel, etc all had chances to plan the show], but now it's Don Mischer Productions screwing it up every year. Lame.

I'm sure plenty of people are excited about The Who, and that's great... But imagine a collabo that included Lady Gaga, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas, Carrie Underwood, Jay Z, Britney, Rihanna, Beyonce, Kanye West... Holy crap... It'd be epic.

Hmph. With my Redskins obviously not headed to Tampa, and a lame halftime show, I'll be watching for the commercials and delicious food to snack on.

elizabethany

because you want to know

I know all of you guys have been sitting on the edge of your seats just waiting to read what I thought about the Super Bowl.

Okay... You probably already know how I felt about the game.. But let's be honest. The Super Bowl is almost more about the OTHER stuff. Ya know, the performers, commercials, food...

First up.. Jennifer Hudson. Can we say Uh-May-Zing?!?! She was absolutely incredible. Yes, unfortunately she was lip syncing, but it wasn't her choice. Honestly, producers of the show have come out saying they forced her to do it because they thought it would be best. But who cares?! It was a great recording!



I think I have watched it a good 5 times, and I get goosebumpies every time. She's incredibly talented, and I'm so glad to see her out in public and performing again. [She'll also be performing at the NAACP Image Awards!]

People are even wondering if hers, or Whitney's version, of the Star Spangled Banner is better. Hmmm.. I think my vote goes for Jennifer, honestly. It's so wholesome but SO great. Ah, I loved it. She's easily one of the best singers alive right now.

Speaking of performers, how about the halftime show? I've said it before, a million times, and here I go, about to say it again... I'm sick of old school people performing for the Super Bowl Halftime Show. I want it to be a mix of old school, country, pop, rap, r&b.. EVERYTHING!

Every year since the wardrobe malfunction, it's just been oldies getting up on stage trying to fit into this generation. Prince tried to make it look like he was playing with his "thing," and now Bruce Springsteen practically straddled all of us. I just wasn't impressed.



Tell me if I'm wrong in what I'm saying, but I don't think I am. And frankly, I won't care if you think I am. :) They need to get over the malfunction and get back to the good ol' days, dangit! [I mean seriously.. They need to just watch out for porn getting on the broadcast.]

Now onto the reason that many female Steelers.. I mean... "Football" fans watched the game- The commercials.

These are my favorites.. In no particular order:



[I love Will.i.am, and I love comparing the present to the past. Enough said.]



[I think this one is going down in Super Bowl Ads history.. Just sayin'.]



[Who doesn't like a good love story?!]



[These are just hilarious and have always been some of my favorites. OMG the black baby is hilarious!!! Here are more outtakes:]






[What an amazing network commercial!! I love it.]



[I don't know why this is funny to me.. But it is.]



[The irony is so fabulous. The fact that this is real is fabulous. The hilarity is fabulous. Ahh, I love it.]

And as for two movies that I'm really pumped about:





[Will Ferrell I love you.]

So... I guess... Congrats to the Steelers. [Ugh.] But the season is officially over come Sunday which means no one is good anymore!!! ;) REDSKINS, NEXT YEAR IS OUR YEAR!!

love,
elizabethany

another malfunction

So here I thought that the most X-rated thing about the Super Bowl last night was suddenly having Bruce Springsteen's crotch in my face....



Boy was I wrong. People with Comcast in Tuscon, AZ had more X-ratedness, and even MORE excitement after Fitzgerald's fantastic catch/touchdown to put the Cardinals ahead.

Seriously though.. This is big kids only. And definitely NSFW. So proceed with warning.

ugh

I've made it clear that I love the fact that Barack Obama is pretty involved with sports, most specifically football. And every time people have asked him a question about it, I think I've been ecstatic with his answer. Today, not so much.

When asked who he wanted to win the Super Bowl, he chose the Steelers.

Here's why I have a couple problems with this. First of all, he said he's been a long time fan of the Steelers. By saying that, he's classified into my top 10 pet peeves of football fans. He's hopped on the bandwagon, AND said he's a fan of two different teams. Support however many you want, but be a fan of one.

Sure, he said it's because the owner supported him, and Franco Harris did some campaigning, but whatever. Barack Obama is an incredible "Cinderella Story" and therefore I think he should support those of the same level. :)

This is what he said exactly:

"I have to say, you know, I wish the Cardinals the best. Kurt Warner is a great story and he's closer to my age than anybody else on the field, but I am a long-time Steelers fan. Mr. Rooney, the owner, was just an extraordinary supporter during the course of the campaign. Franco Harris was campaigning for me in Pittsburgh. So ... So I – you know, I wish the best to the Cardinals. They've been long-suffering; it's a great Cinderella story. But other than the Bears, the Steelers are probably the team that's closest to my heart."

Maybe this will just give the Cards a bigger boost and be like, "We'll show Mr. President that EVERYONE'S dreams can come true this year."

Then you'll have to congratulate them and say you were wrong for the first time, B. I hope you won't mind doing that.

love,
elizabethany

the worst

It's SUPER BOWL WEEK!!! So how does love, elizabethany get prepared for such an event? Well, a football themed Top 10 Thursday, of course!!

In order to pick what I wanted to do, I thought of the 2 teams in the World Championship of football.... And it clicked. One of the teams [I'm not going to say which, but it should be pretty obvious] has really obnoxious fans. What makes them so obnoxious? A lot of things. Some of them being within the

10 Worst Things an NFL "Fan" Could Do or Be


10. Doin' it For the Love of The Significant Other
I don't care if you didn't really have a team to begin with, or you just want to make your boyfriend or girlfriend happy... You should never become a "HUUUGEE" fan of a team just because you're with someone who is. Support them, fine. But just because your baby got you a Tom Brady jersey, doesn't mean you're a Patriots fan. You've still got a lot of proving to do.

9. Dishin It But Can't Take It

There needs to be a WRITTEN rulebook for all football fans, and one should read "If you're going to dish out all the smack talk, you have to be willing to take it, too." If you're going to be calling everyone in your phonebook saying "YOU'RE GOING TO GET CRUSHED!" you better be answering that phone when you lose. And if you're really a fan, you'll either have a good defense for it, or you can be a good sport and say "You're right. You won, and you deserved it." [I know.. Sometimes that feels like you're taking a knife to the stomach.]


8. Terrible Towels
I love traditions, and it's cool that the Steelers have a nice little tradition in their towel, but it's effing annoying. Seeing those bright yellow things twirling around is like seeing confetti or something. It's distracting! I don't know how the players don't think so, too. And yes, I DID hate it when the Redskins had their white towels for Sean Taylor, as well as the "white towel" idea during the White Out at WVU. It's obnoxious no matter who it is.

7. Copy Cats

Speaking of taking the idea of the terrible towel, I hate when a team has a signature cheer, look, idea, WHATEVER it may be.. And then other teams take the same ideas. Don't redo the terrible towel. Don't have every team start spelling their name for a chant. And don't everyone start getting one bright color to accent their jerseys/attire.


6. Switch-a-roo Fans
So your team lost. Maybe it even went 0-16. And yes, the Steelers are headed to their Super Bowl looking for their 6th Super Bowl win, the most in history. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT become a Steelers fan, or anything else for that matter, just because your team is losing. Each year, different teams get better and worse. Be patient. Be a true fan. Don't ever give up.

5. Lame Chants/Songs

Newsflash: Almost everyone over the age of 3 can spell "eagles." They can also spell "jets" pretty easily. So, we probably don't need to hear anyone spelling out their team names over, and over, and over again. We also don't need to hear you singing "Fly Eagles Fly," because let's be honest.. The lyrics are lame. "Here We Go" is also obnoxious, unless you know all of the words.. Then, I won't hate TOO much. If you have something great like "Hail to the Redskins," consider yourself blessed. ;)


4. Pink [or Black] Jerseys
You have team colors for a reason, and none of them include pink. So don't buy a pink jersey. If every team has a pink version of jerseys, which they do, you're not going to stand out by wearing it, and you'll actually just be saying "hey, I'm a fan who's not really a fan and just wants to pretend to wear a jersey." That being said, black jerseys are just as bad. [Unless, of course, you're a Raiders fan.] Where are your team colors? Those colors that are picked are the biggest part of being a fan and displaying your spirit and pride.

3. Bipolar Fans

It's natural for a team to have a downtime. They're going to miss tackles, and they're going to throw interceptions. They're also going to fumble, and miss field goals. It's going to suck, a whole lot, but you should NEVER start screaming at your team about how much they suck, how your quarterback is terrible, or... Whatever you do... Do NOT stop watching the game because you're so mad. The game is never over 'til the clock runs out, and there's always a chance of coming back. So what happens then? Are you going to start jumping up and down chanting and saying you love your team?! Probably. And that's wack. Love them, through thick and thin.


2. Ignorant Fans
I know a lot of people have been on one side or the other of this conversation: "O-M-G I LOVEEEE THE GIANTS!!!!!!!" "Really?! That's awesome! Who are your favorite players?!" "Eli Manning, duh." "Yeah but.. Who else?" "Oh you know.. They're all pretty good... I can't really pick more favorites......" You're lying. You don't know your team. You don't know your coaches, you can't name 10 players within 30 seconds, and you have no idea when the last Super Bowl was that you went to. You're not a fan. You're someone who says they like a team because their family, friends, boyfriend, or whoever does, too.

1. Rhinestoned/Altered Jerseys

I can't tell you how many times I have seen girls with bedazzled jerseys. Every time I want to shoot myself, and them. I have even seen an AUTHENTIC jersey cut up, and tied to look "fashionable." I wanted to throw up; I couldn't believe it. Do you see sparkles down there on the field? [Minus the grillz shining in the sun] Do you see them running around in heels or with different styled jerseys? No. You don't. So we shouldn't see you lookin' like that while watching football. Wanna see how out of control it gets? Click here.



So as Sunday comes along.. Just make sure you're not any of these things I just listed. No one likes these fans.

If you are one of them, hopefully you have someone just like you, or else you're watching the game alone. Have fun with that..........

love,
elizaebethany

halftime sucks

What do more people watch? The "kickoff celebration" of the Super Bowl on January 29th, or the Super Bowl halftime show on February 1st?

Hmmm.. I'm going to go ahead and say the halftime show. As long as it's something interesting, anyways.

So tell me why all of the good, current musicians are performing for the kickoff celebration?!

To start the 43rd Super Bowl, Rihanna, Fall Out Boy, and Lifehouse will all perform, to be aired on VH1 @ 9:00 ET/PT, along with many other special guests.

That's pretty sweet.. Especially if they make a SHOW about it, rather than just performing. Better than stupid Bruce Springsteen.

elizabethany

For today's countdown celebration, I bring you some of Britney's Pepsi Superbowl commercials.. From back when she used to be one of the main spokespeople.

The picture is part of her work with Herbal Essences. Definitely her best print ads..



This one is definitely one of my favorites, if not the absolute favorite-->



Pretty sure this isn't for the Super Bowl, but it's kind of interesting-->



Ahh, she was so beautiful and into her work!


3 days til CIRCUS!!!!! 1 day til FOR THE RECORD!!! :-D

Who's pumped?!

love,
elizabethany

PS: She was also on France's Star Academy last night.. Which is like their version of Idol. She performed Womanizer.. Check it out-->



The lady's face in the beginning is terrible and hilarious and I love it. I'm thinking BritBrit isn't really singing, but a) not many people do these days and b) it's still a step up from last year's VMAs.

super bowl worthy?

This is kinda old news.. But I never shared it, and I'm thinking it's one of those that not a WHOLE lot of people know.. but maybe I'm wrong.

Super Bowl XLIII Halftime Show= Bruce Springsteen.

I know he's a classic musical artist. He performs some of the greatest songs in US history. But there lies my problem.

Ever since Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, the halftime shows have been "safety nets." They've been people of the past. Check it out-->

(This is just AMAZING! Seriously, it combines all different kinds of music, INCLUDING songs of the past! EVERYONE is happy!)

And OK, it's great to see these people of the past again.. but at the same time, not everyone can relate. It's not new, exciting, fresh.. and it doesn't represent the year accurately at all. Before Janet/JT's performance, you could look back at the shows and be like "you're right, that was the ISH that year!" Now it's.. "That was the ISH.. twenty years ago."

Call me crazy if you want, but whoever is planning these things lately needs to step their game up. At least get multiple artists.
Bruce, I have no doubt that it will be a good show... I just hope it even halfway lives up to the shows of years past.
