Jaded from years on the political front lines, TGATP has in recent years been mostly publicly apolitical. However, I was, like most, curious about this Ryan fellow that Mitt Romney announced as “the next President of the United States.” So before the spin begins, here is an overview of Ryan’s ACTUAL views and votes on some issues of importance. Vote how you will. But cast an informed vote, so you can live with the consequences.
On August 21st, the Bible of Fashion, every Fashionista’s textbook, the One we wait for all year, the edition that has made and broken editors’ careers, the only issue to be a subject of a documentary film – The Vogue September Issue hits newsstands! Celebrating 120 years of American style, with style icon, Lady Gaga, on the cover (eat your heart out, Madonna!) it will be 916 pages of gorgeous Fall Fashion!
Any film that opens with a half naked Colin Farell and ends with a half naked Colin Farrell is a definite go-see in TGATP’s book! This awesome re-make of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger film is smarter, faster, bigger, more action-packed, and sexier than the original!
Urban Decay just released the Naked 2 palette, the followup to the uber popular Naked, one of which has sold every minute for two years since its debut in 2010! This awesome neutral palette featuring 12 shades of taupe to grey neutrals is perfect for every skin tone from the very fair to the delicious cafe latte (like me!) to the lusciously dark!

Set to run through August 17, 2012, one very lucky winner plus 10 of her “BESTIES” will win a spa day and a private screening party of the movie Sparkle.
In June, TGATP had the great honor of breakfasting with the US Olympic Synchronized Swim Team! They were awesome gals and revived our love of the sport. Catch our gals Mary Killman and Mariya Koroleva on August 5th through 7th on NBC.
TGATP opines on the Aurora Shooting and the need for tougher gun laws, the guilt of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin, and more topics in the news this week.

I wrote this back in 2016. But, Lord knows, I need good fortune in 2025 after having another one of the most tumultuous years of my life. In addition, we are idiotically going into a very scary time with a criminally insane, coup-staging, convicted felon, serial rapist, and complete moron as the President of the United States. So, I am reposting this story with the hopes that we will all — individually, and as a nation — have good fortune in 2025.
