Tuesday, So Far

Hey everyone. Sorry I couldn't catch you up on my hot date last night, but I got kind of scared because of the thunderstorm last night. I didn't want my laptop to electricute me!
So I'll start with that; the date.
Claire, Me, Derrington, and Cam went to the Polo resturant in NYC. It's THE BEST resturant around here! I had the lobster medallions, and let me just tell you that they are completely ah-mazing. It's a luxe life, but somebody's got to live it right?
The four of us pretty much just caught up about our summers. The boys have been playing soccer all summer, so they've been in touch with all of the hottest guys at Briarwood. I'll just say that we got the inside scoop on ALL of the boys. Sorry, some of it is too juicy to put on here. It'll just be our little secret I guess.
After dinner we went to Barnes and Noble. Cam wanted to check out some poetry books or something. I guess some girls (Claire) might think that's cute, but sorry, Cam, it's a little cheesy.
After he got his book, we went to the Starbucks café there and caught up some more. Both of the guys had presents for us. Derrington got me a gold sandal charm with little diamonds around the strap, to represent summer. And Cam got Claire...well I'll let her tell you that.
A lot of you have been asking me how I snagged such an ah-mazing boyfriend. Well, I'll put it frankly. Either you have it or you don't. Some are just born with it. You have to have the natural ability to flirt, be cute, and look cool. Without any of these three characteristics, you are nothing.
Although TPC and I don't have to work at this, I found it in my heart to make a little guide on how to at least LOOK like you have the look. Here's Massie's guide to flirting:
1) When talking to a guy (whether you like him or not) ALWAYS make eye contact with him. He'll probably feel so uncomfortable from your piercing gaze that he'll need to look away. Don't be alarmed, he might seem scared, but I guarantee he'll be thinking about you all day.
2) Laugh when you're with your friends and he is within earshot of you. Don't look at him while you're doing it either. You need to look like you can always have a good time no matter what, and he needs to think that you aren't thinking about him constantly (even if you are).
3) Always look your best. No matter what. Even if your mom is just taking you for a quick trip to the grocery store, it's an absolute must to dress like everyone you know is going to see you. Girls, I'm talking cute, flattering clothes, make-up that's well applied, everything. The one exception to this rule, is when you are going on a plane ride. If it's between fall and the end of winter, this is what you should wear. Juicy velour sweat suit, uggs (prefferably chestnut colored, or those woven blonde colored ones), a cute carry-on, and your hair done in a casual-cute kind of way. Either a low side braid, braided pigtails, or a messy bun. Note: messy buns are only passable if they are done RIGHT. Don't ever do it if it just looks messy. It has to look just messy enough that it's cute.
4) Don't be shy when a guy is talking to you and your friends. Especially if your friends are outgoing towards him. If you don't participate in the conversation, he'll think you're a shy little LBR with no personality. Be additive to the conversation, and make it fun and funny. He needs to at least THINK that you're cool.

That's all I can think of for now. But I know there's one thing you've all been dying to know about last night. What I was wearing! Well, here it goes:
Have you seen that absolutely ah-mazing fushia satin Diane von Furstenburg wrap dress with the ballet skirt and short sleeves? It technically doesn't come out until the fall season actually starts, but my friend Debby at Nieman Marcus kind of did me a favor...Actually I guess it wasn't a favor, because she made me pay her $1000 dollars extra for it. But it was so cute on last night! I wore it with black tights and black Prada pumps. I wore my hair down and flipped out at the ends. Of course my ever-present charm bracelet was...well...present. I wore my black double-C Chanel earrings too. The outfit was to DIE for, and Derrington couldn't keep his hands off of me! I'll just leave it at that...

Anyway, I'm off to talk to Principal Burns about my schedule. I need to get on the right track this year, so I can be on the right track in highschool, so I can be set for college. You didn't think I thought about that kind of stuff did you? Well, guess you were wrong.

Just one final note to everyone. Boys love good-smelling hair. Don't think that Pantene is all chic and whatnot. The two shampoos that drive boys the most nuts are Bumble and Bumble créme de coco, and Frederic Fakkai apple cider. You're welcome!
Love,
Massie
