The List of the Year

With my birthday and Xmas just around the corner, I’ve been getting questions from everyone on what sort of presents I’d like. I already have all the things I could ever ask for – a great family + friends, good health, fulfilling job, a new Botkier bag etc. But just to help you folks out there, here’s a list (because we love lists here, if you hadn’t already noticed) of things that would be nice to have. Not neccesary, not needs, but...nice.

• New running sneakers and lots of white socks – my washer/dryer is the Stargate of white socks.

Looks innocent enough
• To go with the above, a committed and disciplined (a Nazi) running mate who will help motivate me to start running again

Someone like him might work
• After burning off those calories, some yummilicious red velvet cupcakes or toffee brownies from Bisou Bakeshop for tea

Yeah baby yeah
• A new (preferably Ivy-league educated if we're being specific here) boss who will be able to fill in the big shoes my old boss has just left behind
• A home cooked dinner by my sister’s hubby, Marc; his roast chicken is fantastic! Just ask Attila.

Atilla: A discerning palate

• Industrial strength concealer to help cover up them under eye dark circles (YSL’s Touché Éclat any good?)
• Friends + drinks + dancefloor + really rockin’ song – Flaming Lamborghinis = an easy and fun birthday night out on the town

NO.

• Piano lessons – how I hated playing the piano as a kid! Now I wish I had continued...if just so I can pretend to be Chris Martin.

ITS KHAYLIS LIIIIVE FROM WEBLEEEY
• Shopping vouchers from Topshop – as a previously avid Zara supporter, I feel their last few collections have been quite disappointing. TS on the other hand has rebounded recently with some surprisingly wearable pieces, most significantly in their Kate Moss for Topshop line. Upgrade from Neutral to Buy.
• A nice, romantic (i.e. all cellphones / blackberries switched off) dinner with A – am currently playing second fiddle to his first wife – his job.

Romantic =a restaurant where a man with a red satin jacket waits on you
• Chunky monkey funky jewelry
• A new trend-free boring completely safe haircut. Though, am totally diggin’ Katie’s new Anna Wintour inspired ‘do.



Not a mullet
• All the Grey’s Anatomy episodes from Season 4 I haven’t seen yet

More sexy medical drama please

• Samsonite luggage with those awesome wheels that spin around 360 degrees! Obtained on Saturday.
• To see my vixens, TY and DeB (soon!)
• And, if we’re being unrealistic, a white Maltese puppy. Or at least a play date with one.

Please?

Am really starting to feel my age with all these new youngsters joining my workplace. I mean, who knew that the new slang word for “grinding” (i.e grinding on the dancefloor) is “Get me bodied?” (i.e. "get me bodied on the dancefloor") I can’t keep up!
