Black Friday

I love shopping I find it as one of the best forms of therapy. But there's one day a year when I stay as far away from it as possible and that's Black Friday. The amount of people willing to trample and hurt each other just to save $50 has become pathetic. Look at this line at Macys...
 

This is absolutely ridiculous. There was once a time when Black Friday was actually enjoyable. My mom and I used to travel to Woodbury Commons together. The stores would have deals that were actually worth it and it was never as crowded as they are now. But now, Black Friday has completely taken over Thanksgiving. There is no reason for you to open your store at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving. We're eating dinner. So while the crazies are outside killing each other for a TV. I'll be shopping from my computer anticipating the better deals that will be available on Cyber Monday. Seriously people the best deals are online. Join us in the 21st century.

iParty with Ariana Grande

Today I attended a holiday party for one of my favorite singers Ariana Grande. I shall not explain who she is, because you should really know by now. She held her holiday party at Roseland Ballroom in New York City for a few fans. Well actually a few is an understatement.

In case you're wondering why the invite says Best Buy Theatre instead of Roseland Ballroom, that's because the party had to be relocated to hold all of the Arianators. I don't think they anticipated how many of her fans were going to come out. I met people who traveled all the way from Memphis...

I know this line looks bad, but it was actually much worst. And yes it was raining. But it was worth it. I ran into Frankie J (Ariana's brother) outside. When we finally got inside Frankie started the party by twerking for us. And I don't mean Miley Cyrus twerking. His butt actually moved. 

It wasn't long until the girl of the hour came out. Ariana looked cute as ever. Can we have a doll made after her? Ariana had a quick Q&A with her brother about everything she's doing now and of course winning that Best New Artist category from the American Music Awards.

Even though it wasn't a concert, she still sung for us (because lets face it, she can't help it). She sung her new Christmas song Last Christmas from her upcoming Christmas EP. Here's a snippet of her singing. After you fall in love with her voice, buy the full song from iTunes.

While I had a blast, I have to admit it was a bit unorganized. And unfortunately some of the guests acted as if they had no home-training or common sense. But Ariana Grande is such a sweetheart. She answered as many questions as possible from the audience and it was great to finally hear her live and shake her hand. I'm already waiting for whenever the next tour dates arrive so that I can buy tickets. But that's for a future post.
