Celebrity, celebrity

Stop with the N'SYNC references? NOPE not gonna.
I never see A-list celebrities. I saw Zack Effron in a train station once but he was like, 12 and it's not cool for a 21 year old girl to scream, "OMGIZZY stand with me while my friend takes a pic on his flip phone!!"
ANYWAYS, usually when I see a celeb I just think it's someone I met once and can't remember their name and it's really hard to google d-list celebrities when you have no idea what lifetime movie/dramatic recreation they were in. "girl who overdosed but then was ok in the end in that lifetime movie." "guy who was hot but a nerd for some reason and then in the end died and everyone appreciated him for who he was, (in that lifetime movie.)"
So why should today be any different? I. Saw. acelebrity this morning. To some he may not be D-list, I'm sure there's a woman out there who has a handlebar shaped shrine covered with french fries and statues of scary Ronald Mcdonalds (can you guess who I saw?) That's right! The guy from Super-size Me.I took this photo on the subway...I swear, whatever haters.
So yeah it was kind of a lame sighting but I told you in the first place I NEVER see A-list celebrities. You thought this was going to be about how I saw JZ and Benonce and coached them through the birth of their child which I then healed from prematurity with my tears of joy? SORRY, Ginger tears only cure awkward moments...

What I did Instead of the Gym

Some how my friend Gabe always has something to do with me not going to the gym, positive? Negative? who cares! This week was a good week for avoiding the gym because it rained like a motha and all I wanted to do was cuddle under a billion blankets and watch Law and Order SVU (nightmaretown here I come!)
SO, It's Ga(y)be's birthday today so what did I decide to do? Make a rainbow cake DUH. Nothing like a flaming rainbow cake to say "ANOTHER YEAR AND YOU'RE STILL QUEER!!"

And because I'm a really good friend/want a lot of compliments I made it from scratch (including the frosting which, like, not even your mom does that.)
PROOF:
Look at all those ingredients, mixing together to make a cake full of LOVE.
WHO KNEW that red velvet cake is regular cake with a dash (2 tablespoons) of coco powder and 2 tablespoons of red food coloring? I didn't. I was always so impressed when people made things other than chocolate or vanilla but I take back all my admiration for them because it's actually really easy: Recipe here
Also I lied about the frosting it's not from scratch sorry I'm not sorry.
Look at how BORING that cake batter looks, not flamboyant at all HOW can I make it more gay as a tank top?
DYE THE SHIT out of it and strategically rainbow layer it, THAT'S HOW. Baking it was kind of a pain in the booty but I had three circular pans that I rotated through the oven. Once they all cooled I stacked them with icing. YUMMY YUM FRIENDSHIP.

Slather that baby with frosting and you get this...
ooo, aaa, rustic (that's my word for kind of shitty looking)..I ran out of frosting so the coverage wasn't perfect, thought that counts? no? whateva yo I don't see anyone else around here making a rainbow cake.
And so the reveal, Cutting into it is the best part because A. everyone's really impressed and thinks I'm cool. B. it means it's time to eat it. And C is for Cake.Just look at that thing, I mean, have you ever? We had extra cake which meant we gave it out to the tables around us...a guy asked for my card like I'm a profesh baker which I pretended to be. Annamakesrainbowcakes@jealous?.com
All in all it was a lovely night of beer drinking and socializing at Loreley Restaurant and Bier Garden. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABE!Balloon made my Kara Kelly, Banner made by my printer at work.

Before and After

I got my hair did and now I look flossy flossy.
I went to Beehive which I've been to before and and always feel like a million pennies (it's still a lot of money) walking out the door. This time I decided to go big or go home and go with a seasoned hair stylist which is a little more expensive but it's Friday night and I just just just got PAID! (money money money money). If you don't get that reference I don't get you.
ANYWAYS Jenn my stylist was bomb.com, listened to my lack of hair knowledge and turned me into a movie star.. or reality tv star whichever you idolize more I'm cooler than them now. On the way home someone asked for my autograph, a man asked me to marry him and a new born baby learned how to speak just to tell me how good I looked.
So I give you...a before and after...Let me explain. BEFORE: look how crazy I look...that hair is a mess and it's so long it doesn't even fit in the photo. AFTER: I'm so happy I'm not even mad someone is giving me bunny ears...
Go to Beehive and get yer hair did you won't regret it.

PS here's a photo fail:How do girls who still have myspace do it?
