You know what I get a lot of emails saying? “You should write more about [insert beautiful, talented woman’s name here].” People are always asking me to write about their favorite actresses, singers, shows, athletes, authors, younameit. I don’t mind this at all. I’m just one person and, clearly, I am not omnipotent to even the tiniest degree. So I like being alerted to folks I may be shamefully ignoring. That said, there are certain people I purposely ignore, without the slightest hint of shame. Though I actually don’t get too many requests for those people. Not too many Kardashian fans read my blog it seems – imagine that. So here then is a round-up of some of my most frequently requested blog snubs (or just woefully underrepresented ladies), my reason for their previous snubbing and my heartfelt apologies.
Stana Katic
I don’t watch “Castle.” And that’s the one and only reason why. Because, seriously, that bone structure – yum.
Crystal Chappell
I don’t watch daytime soaps. And I don’t watch online soaps either. Jesus, I can’t even get through my DVR queue of nighttime shows.
Laura Sánchez & Marian Aguilera
I don’t speak Spanish. And my need-to-watch list of English-language shows is already ridiculous. Otherwise PepSi all the way.
Anna Silk
I don’t know why I waited to write about “Lost Girl.” And I have even watched all the Bo & Lauren bits on YouTube, some multiple times. Those two together? Dead sexy.
Paget Brewster
I don’t have a good reason, again. And I’ve been watching this show for years. But I’m not sure how much longer I can hang now that she and AJ Cook are gone. Plus that new girl? Words cannot express how much I loathe her father-daughter vibe with Joe Mantegna. LOATHE.

I actually have written about a shockingly large number of ladies. It’s almost like it’s my jobs.
It was all a bit Gaga at Blow pr which is why we (and her) love it so much! There where everything from dead squirrel purses (RP/Encore) to urinal dresses (The Rodnik Band). . there where also Dick Tracy inspired pieces from Fam Irvoll and some amazing jewellery from fellow Norwegian designer Bjørg (I'm hooked!) One of my favourites was the beautiful, dark collection by Danish fashion designer Asger Juel Larsen. Exposure has a nice mix of big brands like Levis and Doc Martens as well as fashion darlings like Terry De Havilland and Basso&Brooke.

3. MAC Russian Red Lipstick, $14.50

So here's the second of today's posts written especially for the lovely Michelle who is getting married in June. Michelle sent me a tweet asking for some ideas for her country fete themed wedding - earlier I provided (or hopefully provided!) some ideas for table plans that might fit Michelle's day and now I'm moving on to the second part of her plea - Orders of Ceremony (or, to translate for US readers, ceremony programs!)
If you'd like me to write a blog post just for you, get in touch and let me know how I can help. Inspiration, advice or questions you'd like answered - I love to hear from you so feel free to e-mail me tamrynkirby@hotmail.com or find me on Twitter (my username is @tamrynkirby so say hello!)
But let's go back to Michelle and her fabulous wedding. Enjoy these ideas...
Above - yes, I know this is a birthday card but take a look at the design. Little bunting flags dangle across the plain card. You could cut the flags from plain coloured or patterned paper, glue them onto twine or ribbon and attach them to the front of the card. If the card itself won't go through your printer, you could just print inserts and glue them in! Image - C Star Events
Above - a fabulously simple yet very effective idea. Printed cards are tied with natural raffia that looks wonderfully like straw. Easy and attractive - a perfect combo for a DIY bride! Image - Faith West
Above - another idea that I saw that you could tweak to make a fabulous Order of Ceremony. How about printing the information on the bag and then filling it with confetti? No chance of those petals blowing if you sealed the bag either and again, if you can't feed the bags through your printer, print the information on coloured paper, trim & glue. Image - Jeremy Lawson
Above & below - this would be great if Michelle used one of the chalkboard seating plan ideas as well but I know that this might not work at a church. However, if would be great for giving 'the timetable' at the reception venue. Image above - Kelly Prizel Image below - The Knot
Above & below - I love tags so I just had to include this. The information is printed on tags (or onto card and cut into tag shapes!), given pretty covered and tied together with ribbon. So pretty! Images - Martha Stewart
Below - fans make great programs, especially if you're getting married in the summer. The information is printed on one card with the handle attached at the bottom. Another piece of patterned or coloured card is used to back the fan (and hide the handle!) - this also makes the finished fan a little more robust and less likely to wilt when waved around!

Earlier this week, I received a tweet from a wonderful bride to be, Michelle, asking for some inspiration for her forthcoming wedding. She wanted ideas for a table plan and Orders of Service (or ceremony programs to my US readers!) that would fit with her 'country fete' theme day in June. So, being someone who likes a little challenge and likes to help, I'm dedicating today's two posts to Michelle and I hope she likes some of the ideas that I've come up with for her.
If you'd like some inspiration for your day, if you have a question that you'd like answered or if I can give you some advice, then just send me an e-mail tamrynkirby@hotmail.com or find me on Twitter (I'm @tamrynkirby if you'd like to follow me!) and I'll be happy to help.
But for now, it's all about Michelle and table plan ideas for her country fete day...
Above - I like this clean but bunting filled table plan. A white card backing has separate cards with each table's guests listed on them. Ribbon accents and a mini bunting decoration (cut from any patterned paper or fabric) finish this wonderfully. The couple's names and the table names are in a pretty font too for extra prettiness. Image - 5 Star Wedding Directory
Above - more beautiful bunting! Here, each flag represents a table and the guest's names have been printed onto fabulously coloured card (obviously, you can use any colour combination that suits your theme). Trimmed into neat triangles and pegged onto the string, this is easy wedding DIY. Image - AJH Photography
Above - I love this! Fabric bunting just has printed table details stuck on. Of course you could make your own bunting (and I think Michelle has!) but you could 'personalise' any bunting you buy. This looks so pretty and you could use the same fabric to wrap around napkins etc for a co-ordinated look. Image - Dazzle Me Decor
Above - A great bunting display of seating cards. Each guest has their own little paper triangle and these have two holes punched in them so they can be threaded on to ribbon and then strung up. The mix of pretty pastels here is gorgeous, especially when you've got that beautiful blue background, but you could use this display anywhere in your venue. Image - Event Angel
Above - A more traditional table plan here but still gorgeously fitting with the theme du jour. Paper rectangles detailing the guests sitting on each table are stuck onto fabric and then these are in turn arranged on a large piece of backing card. I love the ditsy numbers, the bunting swirling across the top of the plan and the cake made of fabric scraps in the bottom left corner is a fabulous touch too. Image - Gift Wrapped & Gorgeous
Above & Below - Another brilliant option that's simple DIY. Tags with the guest's seating details are tied onto beautiful ribbon and pegged onto twine for the guests to pluck off as they pass. You could use coloured card for the tags or stick to neutral tags and ribbon and hang a piece of funky fabric behind for a splash of colour as below. Image - Luna & Chloe (above) & You & Your Wedding (below)
Now the next three images are all variations on a theme but a fabulous theme nonetheless. I love chalkboard signs at weddings - they're easy to DIY and if you make a mistake or need to make a change, it's not a problem. You can make your own chalkboards to any size or shape - speak to your local DIY shop as they'll be able to cut wood to your specifications and then you simply paint it with chalkboard paint. After that, get creative with your chalks! You can buy chalk 'pens' which are really easy to use and make writing and designing much much easier than using traditional chalk sticks. You could frame your board, prop it on an easel, lean it against a tree, tuck it somewhere suitable or hang it from a wall or door.

For this episode the girls were divided into three (3) groups and were tasked to create a commercial where they have to showcase CoverGirl NatureLuxe Silk Foundation. The winner of this challenge will have their “commercial” posted on the CoverGirl website.
The groups were:
Team 1: Red Carpet Look
Brittani (Director)
Kasia (Scriptwriter)
Mikaela (Talent)
Team 2: Bold, Colorful Eye Look
Dalya (Talent)
Hannah (Director)
Jaclyn (Scriptwriter)
Team 3: Daytime/Casual Look
Alexandria (Talent)
Molly (Scriptwriter)
Monique (Director)
As usual, Alexandra was having another round of her “ME” day and was trying to be the talent, scriptwriter, and director all at the same time. Dalya, on the other hand, failed to deliver. In the end, Mikaela’s team pulled it off and was declared as the challenge winners.
Video:
It’s off to L.A. Zoo for their next photo shoot, and the girls were lucky enough to wear faux fur designs by Rachel Zoe. But of course, being an ANTM photo shoot, it doesn’t end there! The girls will be wearing only one accessory: a baby Jaguar. Fierce! Literally.
