Everyone loves a polish princess


I am so excited! We just sold another Polish Princess t-shirt design today. This is quickly becoming our best seller. Everyone loves it! Polish Pride!

Christmas has come and gone...

It is hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone already. Christmas was good I love to exchange presents with my family. It is a pleasure to get the people you care about something special. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's the way I feel. My cousins loved the Will Work For Pie T-shirts, too so that was nice. Michael said it is his new bar shirt....lol
It goes so quick and now the year 2006 is upon us. I'm already planning my goals for the new year. No resolutions, but goals!

Swinging…its legal in Canada!

CTV.ca News Staff Updated: Wed. Dec. 21 2005 11:32 PM ET
Canada's top court says clubs that feature group sex and partner-swapping are perfectly legal.
In its 7-2 decision released Wednesday, the Supreme Court of Canada said, because consensual sexual activity in a private club poses no threat to society, it shouldn't be considered criminal.
The ruling sets a single standard, after lower courts went in opposite directions on two similar cases involving a pair of so-called 'swinger clubs' in Montreal.
In one case, the owner of a singles club was convicted on two counts of keeping a common bawdy house and fined a total of $7,500.
James Kouri's "Coeur a Corps" featured a dance floor around which a black curtain would swing every half hour. People hidden behind the drapery could then take part in or watch sex acts.
In the other case, Jean-Paul Labaye, the owner of the members-only "liberated couples" club L'Orage was also convicted of keeping a bawdy house and fined $2,500.
Members of Labaye's club could enter a locked room where they could participate in or watch any kind of sex act.
"It's a commercial establishment where people reconvene and practice swapping or swinging, even orgy gang-bangs," said Labaye's lawyer, Robert La Haye.
"It does not contaminate society. It does not hurt, it does not do any harm to society and to the public in general."
While Kouri's conviction was overturned by the Quebec court of appeal, Labaye's was upheld. Because a judge dissented in each of those decisions, they both wound up in front of the Supreme Court.
Under the Criminal Code, a "bawdy house" is defined as a place used or frequented for prostitution or "for the purpose of acts of indecency."
Because there was no money paid for the sex acts at the heart of the two cases, the prostitution issue was moot -- leaving the case to be decided in terms of indecency.
The definition of indecency is typically measured against what ordinary Canadians will tolerate.
But in their ruling Wednesday, the Supreme Court judges said the test for indecency should not simply be whether an activity violates a "social consensus" of community standards, but the actual harm it causes.
"Consensual conduct behind code-locked doors can hardly be supposed to jeopardize a society as vigorous and tolerant as Canadian society," Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin wrote in the majority decision.
Brian Rushfeldt, Executive Director of the Canada Family Action Coalition, said Wednesday's ruling should become an election issue.
"I'd like to hear politicians address the fact that we have a Supreme Court, seven judges, literally imposing a whole new moral standard on all Canadians while we've got politicians out there talking about whether they should use a notwithstanding clause," Rushfeldt said.
"Perhaps this is a case where the notwithstanding clause should be imposed to let politicians or parliament make some decision on this because it affects every Canadian, not just the swingers.
Laurie Arron, the Advocacy Director for EGALE a gay rights group, disagreed with Rushfeldt's interpretation of the Supreme Court's decision. Arron said the ruling was not a charter case that struck down a law.
"All they've done is interpret the meaning of indecency and that's something that's never been defined in the criminal code."

Looking for a match should not be this hard

OK so I have been a subscriber to match.com for about 5 months now. Unfortunately I have not taken the process any further then emails. I keep making the excuse that I am busy, it is a lot of work to find love online. Frankly the old fashioned traditional way of meeting someone out somewhere or through friends is actually what I prefer. Maybe that is a cop out and maybe I will be single for the rest of my life who knows, alls I do know is I can't make the time to meet someone online right now.
Oh and BTW- guys on the east coast are totally short. Now I am not that tall, I'm 5'4, but come on.... For instance I decided just for fun I was going to search for men under 5'9. I got 390 searches within a 20 mile radius.... Which is a lot more then those available over 5'11....Weird....But whatever this is Jersey.

Tomorrow marks a day in history for radio...

Tomorrow will be a day that they write about in the radio history books one day. Why you ask? Howard Stern is leaving free radio....some of you may not care, but I do.
I am a Howard Stern fan not everyone knows this, but I am. I have been listening to him for about 7 years. I will miss him every morning as I drive to work. He makes me laugh, he does the best celebrity interviews, and hopefully he will do for Sirius what he has done for his book, his movie, his tv show, his radio show...made it number one....this would especially be nice since I have a little bit of stock in that company :) But as of right now I will not be buying a Sirius receive I would like one, but I am going to hold out and see if I can live without Howard in the morning....

GOOD LUCK HOWARD we will miss you!

The religious right does it again

Christian conservatives wage war to put religion back into Christmas...
This time they seem to be getting all bent out of shape because President Bush is sending out a generic “Happy Holiday’s” card instead of the traditional “Merry Christmas”. Now being as the president is supposedly a born again Christian they feel he is not supporting the true meaning of Christmas with his generic card.
Man, do these freaks have nothing better to do? Why is it that the religious right who are supposed to love everyone and not be judgmental are the biggest hypocrites of all. Why can’t they lead by example and show society what the true meaning of Christmas is in an encouraging way instead of bitching and complaining and threatening to boycott Target, Macy’s, :Land’s End, and all the stores that have “Holiday” sales instead of Christmas sales. In fact is it not true that the true meaning of Christmas is not about gifts and the retail shopping experience but celebrating the birth of Jesus? So why the big stink about “CHRISTMAS” retail Sales?
This year Hanukah and Kwanzaa begin the day after Christmas. Don’t other faith’s have the right to shop for their holidays? How would Christian’s feel if they went to the mall and Macy’s was having a Hanukah Storewide blowout? I think they would be offended. I am not a religious person, but I consider myself to be Christian and I would feel like I should not be taking advantage of the Kwanzaa sale.
I give up! Maybe we should just all start sending Chrismakazaa Cards out and all will be fine.

As one marriage ends another reconciles...

As Nick and Jessica go their separate ways another celebrity is getting back together with his ex:

Eminem Says He's Back With Ex-Wife - Rap superstar Eminem told a radio show Tuesday that he is back together with his ex-wife and may remarry. Eminem went through an ugly divorce and custody battle over his young daughter with Kimberly Mathers. They married in 1999, and their divorce was finalized in 2001.
"We have reconciled and are probably going to remarry," Eminem told Detroit radio station WKQI-FM's "Mojo in the Morning" show.
During the interview, he referred to Kimberly Mathers, 30, as "my wife Kim."
Eminem's label Interscope Records said the interview was the only one that Eminem had planned for now. The rapper's greatest-hits album titled "Curtain Call" was released Tuesday.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, also discussed his stay earlier this year at a hospital to undergo treatment for sleep medication dependency. Word of the hospitalization came in August after he canceled his European tour.
"When I went into rehab, I kind of went into it ... with the notion of 'I'm gonna get clean, I'm gonna get off this stuff before it gets too out of hand,'" he said.
In July, Eminem denied an impending retirement but hinted at taking a breather. On Tuesday, the 33-year-old, who lives in suburban Detroit, spoke more about his uncertain future.
"I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career is going," he said. "This is the reason that we called it 'Curtain Call,' because this could be the final thing. We don't know."

All's I can say is WOW. They must really be crazy for each other to be considering re-marriage after all that they have been through.

Let it snow...no...no...no...

When I was a kid I loved snow days. It usually meant a day off from school where you would get bundled up and play in the snow and then come in and have some hot chocolate with marshmallows and watch movies. Now a days I dread the snow. I hate it, it is more of a pain in the ass then anything else. I hate getting all bundled up, I hate cleaning off my car, I hate to shovel snow, I hate driving in it, I hate everything about it...Unless it is going to be a blizzard where I don't have to leave my house I don't want any. I wish I could get excited about snow again, I don't even care about a white Christmas. It only looks pretty for about 20 minutes until it gets all grey and icky! Man and it is only December :) I need to do something to get happy about winter quick!

Is it Christmas Already?

I know it is December 4th already, but I have a hard time thinking about Christmas Shopping already. I went to the mall today and wandered around looking in store to store with no idea of what to get anyone and yet the millions of other people at the mall seem to have no problem finding things to buy. Are they really buying Christmas presents that are thoughtful and exactly what the recipient needs and/or wants or are they just shopping to shop? My bet is they are just shopping to shop, I mean how many people already know exactly what they are getting everyone? What ever happened till waiting till the last minute? I need to be in the spirit to shop and I guess I am just not there yet. Anyway tomorrow I will start shopping online, that is the way to go. You can shop in your PJs from the comfort of your own home.

It’s Official I am a Blog Addict

Out of no where I have become obsessed with blogs.
I recently created this blog
Alison’s Chaotic Chit Chat and I read other people’s random blogs, and I have begun to harass my family and friends to create blogs. What is wrong with me? Is there a treatment for this- Bloggers Anonymous anyone?

Another TV Disappointment


Ok what is up with The OC, I used to be a huge fan of this show. Season 1 was fabulous! But Season 2 and 3 are disappointing, they fill you up with hope that something dramatic will happen with the upcoming scenes and then that very episode that you could not wait to see lets you down.
What happened to Marissa's substance abuse problems? Where is Ryan's illegitimate child with Theresa? How come they have no other friends? As I recall in Season 1 Marissa and Summer were quite popular, what the hell happened? And WHAT IS UP, with Marissa's new friends at her "public" school? They are a poor generic version of Ryan and Seth. I don't care about them at all....Does anyone else?
I'm longing for the days of Beverly Hills 90210. Those writers knew what people wanted to watch. They dealt with everything from substance abuse, date rape, teenage pregnancy, STD's, abusive relationships, it was great!
I'm going to start writing my own television show, hey you never know with this new pod-casting technology I would probably even get some viewers on the web.....hmmmm...food for thought!

The End of An Era

So it’s official! This past weekend I moved out and I’m on my own again and it is great! I will have to say that I will miss my roommates (my sister’s Suzanne & Jeanette) no one will ever know you as well as your siblings.
Moving is a bitch but luckily I had lots of help from my family loading and unloading.
And on a side note, I don’t know when it happened but sometime after my mother stopped working she has suddenly become a food pusher and wants to cook all the time, so she made a huge crock pot of sausage and meatballs, which after eating it for the past three days is now frozen in my freezer. Then my cousin’s Mike & Chris requested one of her fabulous apple pies and a T-shirt that reads “Will Work for Pie”. So my mother made them the pie the next day! I am currently working on the T-shirt design for them hopefully I will give it to them before Christmas. Thanks everyone for all your help!

Product of growing up in the 80's

I received this list in a email and I had to smile. It reminded me of just how fashionally challenged we all were in the 80's and we thought we were cool, but looking back all's i can say is "what were we thinking?" Here are my favorites that I can totally agree with.
Fashion:
You tight rolled your jeans. - YES

You owned a banana clip. - YES
You had big hair and you knew how to use it. - YES
Girls wore biker shorts under their skirts and felt stylishly sexy.
Two words: Hammer Pants
You wore a ponytail on the side of your head- YES

You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.
You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it.
L.A. Gear. Need I say more?
You ever wore fluorescent clothing. (Some of us...head-to-toe)
You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks. - YES
You wore socks scrunched down - YES
You ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes. (And probably in neon colors, too) - YES

Homemade Levi shorts... (The shorter the better)
You remember when mullets were cool!
Trends:
You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF"
You’ve ever ended a sentence with the word "SIKE”
You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence.
After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know you are, but what am I?"
You remember “I've fallen and I can't get up" (I LOVE THIS ONE!)
You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool.
You remember "Where's the Beef?"
You used to (and probably still do) say "What you talkin' about Willis?"

He's Just Not Into You

That was the line in an episode of my all time favorite show Sex & the City, when Miranda comes to terms that it definity is not her but him, when the man she is dating is "just not that into you". So apparently this writer for the show wrote a book, which I have yet to read, but i think I should I keep hearing so much about it. But anyway the point of this post is that now Drew Barrymore will be making a movie based on this book.

Clerks 2 – A Sighting

Sweet! When I was out on my lunch break on my way to Panera I saw a movie being filmed! Yes Kevin Smith does NJ again, he is filming Clerks 2. Check out my paparzzi photo taken on my cell phone at right, Kevin is in the red jacket... They were on Rt. 35 North in Middletown right by Kings Hwy at the Circus Liquors, I recognized Kevin right away, but did not see any celebrities, darn! Rosario Dawson, Jason Lee, and the usual cast of View Askew players star in this film. How awesome is that! Another reason to love NJ!

Fake Reality TV

I hate fake reality TV, yet I watch it religiously. What is fake reality TV you ask? I would classify Laguna Beach on MTV http://www.mtv.com/onair/laguna_beach/season2/main.jhtml in this category. I love Laguna Beach, the actual town, I have been there a bunch of times and it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. However, I was extremely disappointed with the Laguna Beach the series finale last night, because I did not get my drama fix. I WANT MORE! There just is not enough drama on this show to satisfy my appetite. They film this group of teenagers for eight months and then chop up clips to create this fake-ass story line that never goes anywhere. I get more satisfaction out of the Real World, The Apprentice, or Making the Band then this show, why is that? Sorry just wanted to vent :)

Do We Need a New Slogan?

As a Jersey Girl born and raised, i am so tired of NJ getting a bad rep. It seems NJ is always the butt of jokes and now this acting Governor Cody makes it worse by creating a contest for a new state slogan. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10043959/
I asked the other day what's wrong with the Garden State, and one of my co-workers, obviously not from NJ, asked "Where are the Gardens?". Just goes to show you how ignorant people really are. NJ is a beautiful state! If people got out a little and explored they would realize this.
