Lust Haves

Blonde Ambition #1: Discover the Probability of a Silver Screen Romance Occuring in Real Life
The Well Known Scenario: There is a scene in most rom-coms when the main character happens across the man of her dreams in a public place. Usually it is raining. Their eyes meet, they draw closer, and before you have time to gag, their lips meet. Gentle music plays. The screen mists over and the words "The End" appear in swirly letters across the screen.
But In Reality: The rain never trickles down pleasantly, it always pours down. No leading lady ever stood in the rain, secretly lamenting that her mascara has run down her cheeks or that her top has turned a lovely shade of transparent white. What actually results from trying to pull off this move in real life is embarrassment, brought about by wardrobe malfunctions, 'cowardly' running eye makeup that ran so quickly it should enter the New York Marathon, and frizzy hair. All one needs is a few hundred cats to complete the Crazy CAt Lady look. Sans cats, you'll look like a before-ad.

Blonde Ambition #2: The Best Boots Ever Exist and I Found Them!
I know the location of every decent pair of shoes for sale on all my favourite web sites and in all the stores in the state. Think I'm joking? Try me. I don't get all Carrie-Bradshaw-I'd-sell-myself-on-the-nearest-corner-for-another-pair-of-Manolos, though. Manolos don't do it for me. The resulting hype from the SATC series has made me think of them as being very overrated. Besides, the boots I'm in lust with could probably kick the Manolos all over the city. Ahh, they're so pretty. And I want them. I think I'll buy them.

Blonde Ambition #3: This One is a bit Classified, for now...
Take one delicious man, 'Ready Made'. A 'Ready Made' man is one who is settled in his life and career, one whom someone has already prepared for you. It's the easiest way. They're like proverbial convenience meals, no work involved.
Add copious amounts of flirtation and inane activities. If you like, add some alcohol. Not too much, ladies! A little is a lot while hunting!! Personally, I'm not a big drinker, so I never add much alcohol to the scenario. Stir well, serve on Egyptian cotton, and there you have it, chickies, the makings of your next ex-boyfriend, or, if you're very, very lucky, your soul mate!

Blonde Ambition #4: Don't Cry for me Argentina...
... but let me cry for you. Is there a better country? Beautiful people, stunning scenery, and, if you look in the right places, hundreds of truly delectable Argentine polo players who aren't just insanely attractive, they actually can hit around a ball, too, and have delicious accents.
The Argentine accent is just sublime. Are you stressed? Tired of the same old thing? A tad depressed? Bored? ANYTHING? I suggest you take one Argentine and call me in the morning (with all the gossip, of course!) ;)
Ah, Argentina... land of the most beautiful people and things. You're the real Miss World!
