So You Think You Can Dance Season 5!

I am so excited to have So You Think You Can Dance Season 5 on television now! I did not watch the first two seasons, which I regret because I fell in love with, and developed an obsession with seasons 3 and 4! The last two weeks episodes have been auditions in New York, Miami, Los Angeles,Denver, Memphis, and Seattle. This Wednesday and Thursday night will be progression of the dancers on to the Las Vegas portion of the auditions to determine which 10 guys and which ten girls will be in the top 20. After the top 20 is selected , that's when the real fun begins! Stay tuned! Here are some of my favorite dancers so far. I m rooting big time for Kelsea Taylor (the first video) . Enjoy my favorites and stay tuned for more of my favorites!!So You Think You Can Dance comes on on Fox Wednesday night and Thursday night at 8pm.

Holly Golightly inspired bathtub sofa!

Ok...so I think that it is safe to say that we all wish we had Holly Golightly's style and charm. Now you can have a piece from her quirky New York apartment in your home! Check out this inspired bathtub sofa by Flavour Design.

Starting a "just" $3500. Yikes, well I will most likely not ever have one because I am what you call "thrifty" (or cheap, but doesn't thrifty just sound better?)  but they are still quirky and fun none  the less.

Pack Your Bags Party Invite!

Take a look at these creative invitations I found at Lexi Daly's adorable blog confetti.typepad.com!

Here's a recent invitation she worked on for a client. She was challanged to create an invite that would also double as the party favor and include items needed on an overnight trip to the country.

She designed vinyl name stickers to go on each invitation and everything inside the bags.

Invitation success!

What's Not to Love About Bryce Dallas Howard?

I absolutely love Bryce Dallas Howard! But then who doesn't love an adorable red head? In my opinion she has preformed flawlessly in both the M. Knight Shamylan films that she has been in ( Lady in The Water, The Village ), and I am excited to be seeing her in more and more roles in main-stream movies like Spiderman and Terminator : Salvation , which I have not seen yet but I have heard that she is phenomenal in her role as Katherine Connor . Bryce Dallas Howard seems so charming and graceful...what's not to love?

What ever happened to all of the great party shows?

I used to watch these fantastic and inspiring party planning shows on TV. The episodes used really pile up on the old Tivo. Anyways, the shows I was obsessed with were "Party Planner with David Tutera " Party Girl" hosted by Cathy Riva ( posted a favorite episode from her show, check it out HERE ) and my favorite "The Big Party Plan Off". I miss them! There was also a show called "Top This Party" that would be on at really random times, that I didn't like as much but, without any other party TV to watch .....it had to do. Did anyone happen to catch the one and only season of "Party Monsters: Cabo" on E ? Why are these shows not catching on? Isn't anyone else amused and obsessed like I am with entertaining and party planning??

Please let me know if there are any new entertaining shows out there. (other than MILLIONS of wedding shows)
