Work Your Ass

Sweat sweat, shirt’s all wet.
We gonna work out, yeah you bet!

Watch the cardio.

Feel so good when I do too much.
5 AM, lace the running shoes up.
Time to hit the road!



Healthy blogger, part-time jogger,
Each day you are runnin’ farther.
Come on, honey
Let’s get runny.
Time to get wearious.



So work your ass if you are strong,

For all the right reasons.

May be overweight, but we will never be, never be

Anything but fit,

With a nitty gritty pretty muscly physique.


Won’t you come on, and come on, and

Work your ass!

Just come on and come and

Work your ass!



Slam slam, oh hot damn,

What part of “participation” don't you understand?

Wish you’d just work out (work out already)

Can’t quit trying to get fit.
Listen to your old buddy Jackie Sh*t.

It’s your time right now (it’s your time right now)



Chest press spotta’, leg-lift squatta’

Call me when you need a workout partna’

Don't be fatty.

Just get sweaty.

No more beer in us!



So work your ass if you are strong

Work your ass!



Oh sh*t… my ass is chunky... that sucks!



So if you’re too jump to plump,

And you're feelin’ like a lump (feelin’ like a lump)

You could choose to change your ways
Y
ou can always, you can always

Make your life your own...



So work your ..

So work your ass if you are strong

For all the right reasons.

All my blogger friends, we will never be, never be

Anything but fit,

With a nitty gritty pretty muscly physique.

Diamonds, Divas and Drama at the MTV VMAs

Before I get to the jewelry fashion and the Kanye West outburst during the MTV Video Music Awards last night, I’d like to just take a moment to reflect on what I thought was – by far - the best part of the night.

MTV isn’t always known to be a class act, and the VMAs is certainly not the place to go looking for it, but whoever was in charge of producing the opening Michael Jackson dance tribute ought to get some kind of award.

Who doesn’t remember running to the TV everytime an MJ video would come on – from Thriller to Beat it? And we ran because we wanted to see those synchronized dance numbers, right? And if it wasn’t Michael it was his sister, Janet, who carried the torch.

Well, for those of you who are square in my demographic – here is a link to the thing. The dancers were amazing - and the Janet Jackson finale was a great way to top it off. I teared up all the way through. It’s not the same as seeing it live, I’m sure, but you’ll get the idea. Nicely done, VMAS.

Now, on to the fashion. First of all, if I see another starlet in a metallic mini dress I’m going to hurl. Enough, already! And Pink and Shakira showed up wearing the same friggin’ one! They are cool, sure, but someone think outside the box, will you?

Diamonds simply dripped from Beyonce, who wore $1 million worth of Lorraine Schwartz jewelry; Taylor Swift showed in the same designer’s diamonds and a stunning beaded Kaufman Franco gown, and the third part of this ill-fated trio, Kanye West, just accessorized with his girlfriend in an unfortunate jumpsuit.

So by now, you’ve all heard about how Mr. West took it upon himself to interrupt Taylor Swift’s wispy acceptance speech to lament the fact that Beyonce didn’t win for Best Female Video. I’m thinking Beyonce will be just fine without yet another award in her trophy case (she won the night's top prize for the video anyway).

In other words, let well enough alone, Kanye. MTV is a corporate juggernaut out primarily to promote big stars (including yourself), not to make fine-tuned artistic statements. If getting a Moon Man was the same as winning the Pulitzer, maybe he'd have more of a point. Maybe he didn't get hugged enough as a child?

Thoughts? On any of this diamond-filled drama?

Stay tuned for Fashion Week updates as the week progresses! I love this time of year!
