I am only 16 minutes into American Idol, and already so much to talk about! Let me just say that I think the whole boxing motif is unequivocally the goofiest way ever to begin the show. That notwithstanding, I absolutely adored it. You see, I LOVE Rocky, Rocky II, III, IV, V, and Rocky Balboa.
I saw Rocky II at the tender age of 7 and I have literally seen it at least twice every year for the last 27 years (conservative estimate). You could say I am obsessed....and you'd be right. From the stunning score to the thrilling plot to the utter gorgeousness that is Sylvester Stallone, I am a fan on steroids. I even wanted to name Pretty Girl Adrian. Honest. I admit it. Thank goodness Hubby is very classy and has more than his share of common sense. He insisted on a lovely preppy first name and a family name for her middle name.
This brings me to some explanation of why the phrase "mostly preppy" is in the title. For example, I love pink and green, but when I see Lily stuff all I can think is, "whoah, that is gawdy." Were it not for aforementioned sense of Hubby I am quite certain that I would have several tatooes-at least a tramp stamp. I have no real explanation...I just think ink is cool. Tacky, yes-but also cool. I was educated in private schools from age 5 through age 22 (preppyish), but none of them are listed in the Official Preppy Handbook. I adore the beach, but have never "summered" anywhere. I do have some clothes that are Nantucket red, but, alas they were faded not while I was digging for clams, but by the fine folks at J. Crew. I could go on and on, but I really do need to get back to the American Idol Live from Caesars Palace boxing extravaganza.

HAHAHAAH I love the "faded Nantucket red but not by clam digging but by the fine folks at J. Crew" I love it!
Thanks for stopping by...I have really enjoyed reading your blog!
Talk about multi-tasking? How were you even able to leave for as long as it took to post? I am cracking up: tramp stamp, I never heard that phrase before. (But then there's a lot of stuff I've discovered I'm completely clueless on!) I'm hopin' you know that you are not the first person who thought Miss Lilly was a bit more than loud...?! We have friends who just kind of give me "the look" when I show up in certain color combos, especially if Lilly is any part of the equation. "You're not planning on sitting by us at dinner in that thing are you?"
BTW, yesterday's picture just made me stop and do that quick inhalation of breath, it is that cool.
I love your blog, You are too funny. That boxing thing on american idol was ssooooooooo cheesy!
Uh...I have a tramp stamp. In my defense, I did get it before it was coined as such but there it is in all it's glory. I've also been known to watch Miami Ink or LA Ink and wonder what other one(s) I would get but my husband threatens divorce if I do.
But I agree...I'm a quasi-preppy girl. Not hardcore by any means, but I do love a lot of the principles. And while I *love* Lilly for my girls, I don't think I'd ever wear most of it.
Way to go slacker mama for having small-of-the-back ink. The masses followed you and hence a rhyming nickname. I have to say that I did love Miami and LA Ink (Ami is way hot, don't ya think?), but I had to give it up because of all those memorial tatooes. Too sad. Plus it was hard for me to confront my tatoo envy at regualarly scheduled times.
ohhhh, so tramp stamp is small-of-the-back ink?? that spot is so much better than many others - the only tat i have is on the ring finger a la Pam Anderson, but with husband's initials. Getting them was the most fun part of the wedding planning!
