Etch A Sketch w/Swagger

I just had to do a post about George Vlosich and his serious Etch A Sketch skills! This was another segment from Oprah’s Incredible Feats episode. I’m pretty sure my Etch A Sketch from back in the day is at home somewhere. Unlike George, I could only draw geometric shapes. His portraits on the other hand display some serious Swagger!

Some of his creations take up to 80 hours! The above picture is of Oprah’s puppies which took him 15 to 20 hours. And apparently if you remove the powdery stuff (not sure if that is actually what it is) the picture won’t get destroyed.

Wishing everyone a weekend filled with Sassitude!

American Idol w/Swagger

Last night the top 12 guys took to the stage. I was hoping the guys would have had a stronger night than they did but hopefully it was just nerves getting the best of them. There were a few good performances though.

Casey James’ performance of Bryan Adams’, “Heaven” in my opinion had the most Swagger. It was a smart song choice for him which was a good start. It seemed like almost every guy last night made poor song choices. Plus, he managed to have the best performance of the night despite having to deal with distractions from the judges before and during his performance. Now that takes some serious Swagger!

American Idol w/Sassitude

Last night was the first live show of American Idol this season with the top 12 girls taking the stage. I thought it would be fun for me to pick the performance I thought had the most Sassitude. I wish I could post the performance itself, but Idol doesn’t allow people to post performances online.

The performance I chose was Siobhan Magnus’ rendition of Chris Isaak’s, "Wicked Game." I agree with Ellen in that while she was performing, I completely forgot that I was watching a competition. I thought she made it her own and it was mesmerizing!

Oprah's Chocolate Edible Set w/Sassitude

Yesterday Oprah did a show about Incredible Feats from a chocolate edible set. Yes – you read that correctly. This set had so much Sassitude, I don’t even know where to begin! It was made with Godiva chocolate by artists Larry Abel and Raymond McAllister. It took them 1,400 hours and over 15,000 pieces of chocolate.

The details in this are just incredible. My favorite pieces were the chess piece, the fireplace and the chandelier.

Paradise Embroidery Dress w/Sassitude

I really like this Paradise Embriodery Dress by French Connection. I love the deep pink color of the dress and the fact that it has a sheer overlay. What gives this dress Sassitude of course is the beaded embroidery. It is gorgeous and in my opinion in just the right dosage. The dress costs $248.00 - so I will be keeping my eye out for a sale.

Tiny Cupcakes w/Sassitude

These cupcakes are from Baked by Melissa. In my opinion, what gives them Sassitude is that they are so tiny and yet are packed with serious flavour! These cupcakes are simply adorable. These would be perfect for any party – as they would not be messy at all to eat. Can you believe each cupcake is basically the size of a quarter? I don’t know how she gets the flavor in there. But somehow she does!

They have nine flavors which include, Tie-Dye, Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Cup. If you are in Soho or Union Square in NYC you can check them out for yourselves.

Wishing everyone a weekend filled with Sassitude!
