Julie's Journal

I really enjoyed looking at all the dresses on the celebrities last night. From the one shoulder look to the fairytale princess vintage dresses, they were all so beautiful. I was also really digging the pale face with heavily shaded eyes and peachy lips.

Top Six Oscar Dresses:

1. Evan Rachel Wood – Elie Saab



2. Penelope Cruz – vintage Pierre Balmain



3. Kate Winslet – Yves Saint Laurent



4. Marisa Tomei – Versace



5. Sarah Jessica Parker – Dior Haute Couture



6. Taraji P. Henson – Roberto Cavalli

It’s been over a week since the Las Vegas Twestival but I finally got our pictures up on my Flickr page. Check them out. Las Vegas Twestival.

I haven’t heard the final tally yet on how much money was raised for clean drinking water, but I’m sure it was successful for them.

EDIT: I just got some figures on Twitter from @manyas

The table tops at the Revolution lounge were interactive and you could choose patterns to draw with. I had way too much fun playing with that thing.

For all you mommies out there this is a great offer for you to try out the Johnson’s baby products for free. All you need to do is register, fill out a short survey, accept two more offers that they throw at you, and then verify and confirm your information. It does take a little time, but some of the other offers are pretty good. Considering how tight things are these days, free things are always nice, so I wanted to share this offer to all my mommy readers.

And speaking of babies. Congratulations are in store for the Crumley family who added a new baby boy to their family yesterday. Welcome to the world Tebow Sanford Crumley.

One of my Twitter buddies @juliafish posted a tweet this morning about the Snuggie Pub Crawls that are happening all around the U.S. Yes, you read that right. People dressing up in their Snuggies and going around to bars and pubs drinking. WOW!

In response to the stunning public embrace of the warm and cuddly Snuggie™, the SnuggiePubCrawl.com Team is hosting the first-ever Snuggie™ Pub Crawl in Chicago. Even though it’s just a blanket with sleeves, we’re sure that you’ll enjoy a winter evening spent drinking with friends and the Snuggie™.

If you don’t see your city listed, you can use the Suggest Another City tool to notify them that you are interested. And yes, all you Las Vegas Beer and Blog people are coming with me! I emailed them, and you’re all doing this with me, even you @408down. I bet @vegasgeek will be all over this adventure! We must do this before the gates of hell open up and bring on the desert heat though. We’d all die of heatstroke.

Whooda thunk that Snuggies were going to take off the way they have? I’m serious! Those damn things come up in at least one conversation a week while talking with my friends. It’s just crazy! And I feel like I’m missing out not owning one for myself. It’s time for me to buy one and especially now that Snuggies are 2 for the price of 1. Then Michael can walk around in the house wearing his with me so I won’t feel like such a freaking dork. Well I won’t feel like the only freaking dork anyway

Now I’m imagining a group of us all clubbing it up in Las Vegas wearing our Snuggies. HAHA! What great pictures that would make! Hmmm, I wonder how those would go over with security at the door. I’m fairly certain there isn’t a NO SNUGGIES clause written in the dress code rules.

Who’s with me?

Okay seriously, who doesn’t like dolphins? They are playful, intelligent, highly fascinating and entertaining to watch.

I am hoping to visit SeaWorld when I go to Orlando in October, and my first stop is going to be Discovery Cove where I can watch the unusual behavior known as Dolphin Bubbles.

The bottlenose dolphins at SeaWorld have a unique game they like to play called Dolphin Bubbles. The dolphins blow bubble rings into a vortex of water filled with air, then they swim and play in the bubbles. The bubbles don’t rise to the surface, for reasons unknown, and the dolphins push them and spin them around. Apparently this isn’t just the dolphins in captivity either. It’s been witnessed in the wilderness of the ocean as well.

Go check out the Dolphin Bubbles videos on their new blog and tell me what you think. Isn’t that just AMAZING? Man I love animals, and now I want my own dolphin.
