Supermodel Sammy
I was waiting to post some recent pictures of my little supermodel puppy, Sammy, since my mom was in town and I was going to get some pics of them together. Sadly, she left unexpectedly and I was unable to get any pics at all. :( Boo.
So, here are some new pictures of the little guy. This pose above cracks me up - like he's posing for some centerfold shot.
Pinky's Fandance Flashback: Macauley Culkin
Today's Fandance Flashback is from a million years ago at Sundance. Macauley Culkin was in town to promote the movie Saved and was doing press near where some friends of mine were hanging out.
They called me and said they had a surprise for me, but I had to hurry, so I ran right over to the building to find the cast of Saved there, including Macauley. Score! While he wasn't the chummiest of the chums, he was nice enough and he did it...I was stoked. :)

Christmas Came Early!!!
Hurray! Despite having to cancel a majority of their European summer tour due to Simon LeBon's vocal chords, my beloved Duran Duran just announced some US tour dates starting as early as NEXT MONTH!!!!
You know what this means, right? NICK RHODES WILL BE IN LA!!!!
Did you hear me? NICK RHODES WILL BE BACK IN LA!!!
Wahoo! I can't stop smiling - I'm SO excited! Sure, I've already seen them perform a million times this year already, but no matter. You better believe as soon as those tickets go on sale I'm going to be the first in line.
I'm even more excited because up until today they only had one date scheduled in California for the remainder of the year and it was way up north (and sold out). I've been pondering going anyway just to get my DD fix, but now I don't need to because Nick is coming to me.

It must be all those positive vibes and energy I'm sending his way (a la The Secret...I'm willing him into my life. Hey, it could happen. Stop laughing). Too bad I couldn't bring Sammy Rhodes to the concert so he could meet Nick...that would rule! :)
Pinky's Fandance - Farah Fath
Farah Fath was at the event for Galen Gehring and I kept looking at her like she was some old friend I couldn't quite remember. She looked super familiar, but how did I know her?
Well, duh, she was on Days of our Lives when I was watching it a lot and played Mimi Lockhart, Belle's best friend. That's it! Farah was very cool and, of course, fell in love with Sammy. Fun to see her after so much time.

Facebook Snubs?
Here's what I don't understand: I finally found a long lost friend on Facebook who I've been wanting to reconnect with FOREVER and subsequently sent them a Friend Request.
Now, in case you're unfamiliar with the system, once you have a "pending friend request" with someone, their information comes up in your News Feed, so you can see their updates and whenever they become friends with someone.
So, here I am patiently waiting for them to confirm my Friend Request which, unfortunately, never happens. Mind you, they don't reject it, but they also don't confirm it. Meanwhile, they confirm friendships with approximately 462 other people, just not me. And all of those 462 friendships are shown in my News Feed as a little "f you, loser" every day. Fail.
I currently have three different situations like that going on - and these are three people who were once really important in my life and I'm STOKED to get in contact with them.
Do they hate me? Do they remember me? Are they doing this on purpose? Do I cancel the request and re-send? Do I send them a note? Oh, wait. I already did. Still, nothing.
Conversely, I've had other similar situations wherein they accepted the Friend Request, but never answered my email back or chose to speak with me. So, sure, we're friends, but I want to hear what's going on with them, not just be linked up. Sheesh, I'm just not happy with anything!
I know, I know, it's only Facebook, right? Not real life. Why do I even care? It's just been bothering me to see all these friendships while my poor little Friend Request sits out there in limbo....sigh...

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition
Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Dianna Agron looks ridiculously beautiful. Nicely done.
On the flip side, Alison Brie, you should be ashamed of yourself. A lace shirt under a short-suit? I didn't even know there was such a thing as a short-suit.
Kate Middleton buys her own groceries? Where's the security? Where's Wills? Where's her hat?
I really shouldn't be surprised that Lady Gaga didn't know when to stop with all the matchy-matchy. She's not exactly known for keeping things casual.
This, as always, is for my dear friend Heidels who plans to one day marry this man. Of course I'll have to be a bridesmaid. :)

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
My mom and Mike came out to visit from Iowa and we were able to explore LA a little yesterday so that I could show them a few of my favorite things.

First stop? Green Street Restaurant in Pasadena, which boasts the most incredible "Dianne" salad. Delish! Totally worth the wait and Sammy even got to eat on the patio with us. 

The next stop was my beloved Yogurtland, which just opened a new location closer to our house. It's SO good!
If you haven't been to a Yogurtland before, please rectify this immediately. It is heaven on earth. You get your cup, your yogurt, and whatever toppings you want - all you pay is the weight. Good price, good yums!

Even better? Their current promotion features this little Yogurtland toting Hello Kitty. How bad do I want to own this? More than you'll ever know. Egads she's cute (and is the low, low price of $9.99).

I love seeing the store decorated in Sanrio characters. So cute!

When I was perusing the Sanrio deals online, these shoes came up. WHERE DO I FIND THESE AMAZING SHOES?!?!!? Must. Have. Shoes. On. My Feet. Now.
Our final stop was taking little Sammy on his nightly walk down to the beach by my house. Such a fun day filled with all my favorite people and things. Thanks! :)

Brandon Beemer currently stars on The Bold and the Beautiful and in real-life is paired up with the beautiful Nadia Bjorlin (in other words, a stunning couple).
He also looks remarkably like my friend from Sundance and I'm fairly certain I've approached Brandon in the past thinking he actually was my friend. FAIL. Luckily, he didn't hold it against me and still posed for a picture. WIN.

Coolest. Movie. Poster. Ever.
This movie poster is brilliant. Who knew that Ryan Gosling and George Clooney - both future husbands of mine - looked so much alike? It's the freakiest thing ever. Love it. And, please, please, please, whomever decides where to hold movie premieres, please have this one premiere in LA, m'kay? Thankyouverymuch.

Yikes! Kate Moss is a mean girl!
Oh, no. Not someone missing pants AGAIN. What's with all the poorly dressed women?
