watch etv: jump behind the wheel with me during my bug out races!

Considering it's been three years since I raced, and I started this blog *almost* four years ago, many people may not know that I used to race a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. FYI- I did it for six years, won a few times, appeared in a couple magazines, and never bragged once..........

Maybe the bragging part is a lie... obviously.

When I moved to Texas, I handed the car over to my brother and he's been the racer ever since. He didn't come home to do it this past weekend because of the weather, so I got another chance! It was Bug Out 72 [the Bug Out is a huge Volkswagen event that I've been going to since I was a toddler], and you better believe I walked into the Speedway like I owned the place, intense soundtrack music playing in my head and everything.

I've never been able to really show people what it's like when I race, but with the help of my cousin's phone dock this past weekend, I can take you in the car with me so you get the full experience!


I'm SO upset the drags were canceled, but at least I still got to be behind the wheel one more time before the floor falls out Mikey takes it over again. It's such a fun and exhilarating thing, and that's not something I get to feel/experience every day. If only I had the money to afford a VW, I'd race every time..

Sugar Daddy......?

PS: Some more info on the "Ploger Racing Team-" We're really well known at the track because not only has my dad been racing for over 25 years, he wins 80% of the time. My uncle also races and does pretty well. All the cars are my dad's, who has rebuilt them many times. His car was built from the ground up, welding the rails together, shaping the sheet metal and everything. My car sat in the woods for at least a decade before he brought it back up, put in a new "floor," engine, and painted it himself. I'm pretty proud to be part of such a cool thing.

watch: people in sports being straight up awesome

Sometimes people look at videos and see something over a minute and think "I'm too ADD for this."

No one is too ADD for this video. Not even me. It's quick clips of TONS of people from ALL sports being straight up awesome at life.


Those people flying through the air and flipping a bajillion times- Awesome. Flips over people on the football field- awesome. Breaking a TON of tackles like "Get OFF me!"- Awesome. FLIPPING AROUND A BAR WHILE HOLDING ONTO YOUR FRIEND- AWESOME. You guys are neat.

pinspired outfits: pinstriped and patterned shorts

I challenged myself to 10 days in a row of Pinspired outfits. Technically I failed, but only because I didn't wanna waste an outfit on a day I spent all my time at the beach. I did do it for 10 days, but it took about two weeks to wear them, and clearly a little longer than that to post them all.

Here are the final two!

I wore this one when Trey Songz came in the studio. I hear the boys like the shorts/heels combo, and I had two items I recently got on clearance that hadn't been worn yet. Then I found the perfect combo!

Shirt from Target clearance [$8], pinstripe shorts from Forever 21 clearance/buy one get one free [$6], shoes from Ross [$20], and earrings that I borrowed from a friend and totally need to return...

I was super pumped when I saw this next one on Pinterest, too. I had near-perfect clothes to put it together!

Shorts- Forever 21 [$9], shirt- Forever 21 [$8], flops- GoJane.com [$9], earrings- Forever 21 [$2]. I planned on wearing our HOT 100.5 fake RayBans, but looks like I forgot to throw those on. Woah, that's a lot of Forever 21.

I got a Maybelline eyeshadow palette [in Amethyst Ablaze] when I dressed up as Ke$ha for Halfway-to-Halloween, and it's now my new fave. I only have one color on which makes it super easy and quick, but sometimes I throw in some dark purple contouring.

BAM! Ten outfits that I've pinned that I can now say I've actually used. I refuse to be one of those pinners who saves all this stuff, and never actually uses any of it, so these pinspired outfits will totally continue. 

ALSO, I wanna challenge YOU! Can you throw together a Pinspired outfit?! If you do, send me some pictures and the deets, and I'll feature you/your outfit on my blog! If you wanna type up an entire post for me to post, that'd be even more neat! Send anything and everything to my email- elizabethanyy at gmail dot com.

I can't wait to start showing off my friends to the world!

love,

elizabethany

PPS: I had a secret challenge to do my hair different for each outfit. Minus wearing it plain/down for two outfits, I totally achieved it! HIGH FIVE!

real world portland: meet anastasia miller

Well well well... It's time to meet another roommate now filming in Portland!

Say hello to Anastasia Miller:

• Age unverified. Anywhere from 21-25, depending on which profile you look at.
• From the Detroit area
• Describes herself as: Very outgoing, extremely intelligent and talented! Is a people-friendly person looking to boost her career in entertaining. Has been singing entire life as well as some amaeture modeling. 

I was waiting to post about her because of the lack of definite information, but I couldn't wait any longer! Hopefully her singing is better than 80% of other Real World singers. She's totally gorgeous, and her non-modeling pictures make her seem like a blast. There's also this picture from Portland:

Well, maybe she looks mostly a little scary there... but I enjoy someone who will dance on a table, bar, whatever with me.

When I get more info on her, I'll totally update ya! And if you have any, feel free to leave it below anonymously!

ALSO, rumor has it someone has already moved out, maybe even weeks ago. All that's really known is that someone new has shown up-

And here's another picture of them filming, from @bstasia.

Ahh, I'm loving following this season during filming, but I hate not being able to get ALL the deets on some of these people! It's like a blue ball tease.

As always, I'm gathering information from Twitter, Vevmo, and the awesome Real World Portland spy... in case you wanna keep up with ALL of it too!

love,
