Did you hear this one!?

So here is the new Vogue cover that is being called "racially insensitive." WHAT?? WHY?? Some critics are saying that Lebron James is striking a "gorilla like poise" (similar to that of King Kong and Fay Wray), therefore creating a racial stereotype. Come on, are you serious???!!! Cant it just be what it is...the cover of a magazine? When I looked at the cover the thought never even crossed my mind. In fact, when I heard that it was controversial (before I heard why) I stared at the cover for a few minutes trying to think of reasons how it could be considered insensitive. Why is everything turned into some conspiracy? Here is a link to the USAToday article so that you can read all of the ridiculous details and quotes that I have left out.
Sorry I had to vent...

What else do you do in China...Shop!

When we are not working Jenni and I love to shop! So when we had a few hours on Thur. morning we went to the market. My hubby wanted some watches and of course I had to get myself some jeans and sunglasses!

Zhouzhuang

On our trip we had a free day and spent it in the city of Zhouzhuang. It was amazing! It is an ancient city with river and boats running through it. We did some shopping, ate lunch and looked at all to the ancient homes. There were games too. Here you threw coins at these bells to make them ring...I was not very good.


So beautiful!! It was the perfect day too.


Of course I had to ring the giant bell/gong.

Here we bought these ribbons, signed our names and the date and hung them in the tree. It is suppose to bring good fortune...I hope it works :)

Random...Caught in action!

What you don't wash your hair in the middle of a city street with all of your clothes on ???

A monk on a cell phone?? We had to laugh at this one!

Lost in Translation

One of the best parts of the China are some of the translations! Here are a few things that made me smile! Click on to make it bigger...so you can read them.

Shanghai

Well, Friday morning I leave for China (Shanghai)! Tonight I will be running around like a crazy person trying to get ready to go. I wont be back until the day before Easter ( why is that so early this year anyways?) I will take a ton of pictures and post some when I get back. Have a great week!! Happy St. Patty's day too. Maybe we can find another Irish pub in Shanghai like last year :)

Old Navy

I went to Old Navy last night and they have some pretty cute stuff! I always go there for basics like tanks and T's, but yesterday I wanted to buy all kinds of things. Of course, I am boring and did not buy any of it except for the bag for $10 ( I spilled something in my carry on and needed a new one and it is perfect)

What do you see?

Don't laugh, but this is a very common test used to check for color blindness. Color blindness is more common in men than women and the most common forms are called Protanopia and deuteranopia. This is trouble distinguishing red from green and blue from yellow.
If you cant see the # 74 inside the circle you might want to get your eyes checked

Another one bites the dust!

WTF?

Check out the new ad for Louis Vuitton with Keith Richards! Don't you want the same guitar case that your grandpa carries? LOL He looks terrible! He looks like an old lady ha ha. I love it :)

Beautiful!

I love this new ad campaign with Xtina. She looks so pretty. For once all of that make up that she plasters on really pays off.
