Honestly guys. So many of you are acting puh-thetic. I'm completely unimpressed. Let me count the reasons...
1) Girls (again) commenting on my blogs and complaining about our "fakeness". First of all, how many times do I need to say that we are real people? If you don't believe it, get over it. But think of it this way. If we were fake, and you're taking the time to read our blogs, who's really the more pathetic one?
2) Rhymes with witches! Actually, there is only one in particular. You know who you are. The rest of you know who she is. She brags about her "wealth" (ahem, as Leesh pointed out earlier, if she was wealthy, there would be no use saying so). She is also a repeat offender of almost all of the fashion DON'Ts that I have posted. Tacky, bitchy, and fake all in one. We looked into it, and either you have bipolar disorder, or you are simply senile. One minute she posts "hey, it's so nice that you're back!" and the next "ugh...fakes". Pick one. And do us all a favor and don't come back here? BTW, saw your stories...totally ripping of Lisi much?
However, being the magnanimous person that I am, I must give credit where credit is deserved. There have been so many of you that have been leaving nice comments on the blog. They are always appreciated :). TPC loves that kind of feedback. For those of you who choose not to be so friendly...your comments will no longer be enabled. Sorry.
Anyway, it's so nice to be home with Bean. It's not as cold here as I expected it to be (around 45ish?) and that is a ha-yooj improvement from last time i was here! Thank Gawd is all I can say.
In response to the poll that so many of you voted in, it is clear that you all want to see more fashion tips and current state of the unions. I'll be happy to oblige! A few of you still want to know what's going on in our lives, and those of you have an AWESOME surprise coming up! Should I tell you? Yeah...I think so.
So I've noticed that there are some fans of other PC members than me. And since this blog is kind of my "thing", I decided that each member of TPC will post a blog about their Spring Break, just to mix things up a little bit! Those will be showing up any time, as all of the members have my password. That'll be totally fun, right?
Nothing much has happened to me since I last spoke to you. Zack and I had our bitter departure from each other... although we exchanged screennames and such...I know this won't be the last of him. Sorry, still no more scoop about that. I prepare to let what happens in St. Barts to stay in St. Barts.
It's really late (or early, depending on how you look at it), so I'm only going to post a few fashion tips for now. The rest of the PC will post their own, too, if for whatever reason my style isn't...."you".
Fashion do's:
-Cute, mid-thigh length skirts. My personal fave of the moment is that navy Juicy one with the buttons down the front and the white polka dots all over it. Pair it with the navy Marc by Marc Jacobs dove shirt, and you're good to go :)
-Long, flowy dresses paired with Greek or Roman-esq sandals. I cannot stress how huge this is for summer!
-Skinny jeans are still a must-have for early Spring. Pair them with some cute ankle boots and a long sleeve shirt and you will be cute as can be.
I'll finish with the much awaited Current State of the Union. Again, thanks for being so loyal :)
IN: * OUT:
Beans and Brownies * Lizards and Fish
Melty snow * Warm sand
Late nights * Early mornings
Cool, classy girls * Aly
Whoops, was that too blunt? Hope a girl can take a hint ;)
Love always,
Massie

Calling All OCD Girls!! (And boys)
Hello everyone,
Gawd, how much do you hate that Spring break is winding down? That means no more smoothies, no more tanning, no more ocean water in the background. UGH! To distract all of you, I've come up with a list of things that you M-U-S-T must do before we get back to school!
1) Lotion. All the time. Your tans will fade if you don't keep your skin properly moisturized. Worst case, you might even start peeling! Hop to it!
2) Yes, our manis and pedis have faded since spring break has started...go get them re-colored! (Yesteday someone asked what color would be good...go with a light pink or a french, because it'll make your tan POP).
3) Deep cleansing facials are essential before we see each other again. All the sunblock has clogged your pores, no doubt, and if you aren't careful you are going to break out (can you say E-W?)
4) Go shopping. I can't tell you how disappointed I have been in the unthoughtful ensembles I have been seeing around school. You guys definitely need to step it up for the last quarter!
5) Start a project. If you're one of those messy types, clean your room and closet. If you're artsy, make a collage of spring break photos so you'll never forget how much fun you had. It will make you feel organized and ready when we finally get back to school.
6) Go to the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Salon, pronto! Who knows what the saltwater has done to your hair? Ahb-viously it will be booked, but tell them that Massie sent you, kay?
7) Email me and tell me about all of your adventures! I cannot wait to hear what kinds of situations all of you got into!
That should give you plenty to do before school starts. But while you're still here...
Some people definitely misunderstood what I said about preppy (sometimes, in small doses) being cute. I did not mean that you should go run to Abercrombie and buy a bunch of crappy clothes there. GROSS! Not only is that store BOH-ring with a capital "B", everything is also poorly made and ugly (sorry, Kris). If you're on a budget, shop the sale racks at Neiman's...under no circumstance is it justified to walk into any store like Abercrombie!
Also on the outs:
-Those shoes that are flats, yet tennis shoes at the same time (you know the kind I'm talking about...the ones that look like the Keds that Mischa Barton is always sporting). Coach and even Tory Burch have been repeat offenders in this field. Pick tennis shoes or flats, but don't try to combine them! If I see any of you back at school wearing these, know that I am judging you! ;)
-Subdued colors. Brights are in this Spring, girls, so go all out!
-White nailpolish (though I never quite understood how that ever got "in"...). Regardless, don't do it. Period.
-Cashmere sweaters. Relax! Only for Spring and Summer! Come Fall, you can bust them all out again. I know I will.
-The typical "Myspace picture". Yeah, that's right. Those pictures that you clearly took of yourself (either by looking in the mirror or reaching way out in front of you). They're lame. If you don't have enough friends to take pictures with, we have bigger problems.
That's all for now. I'll give you an update of my trip soon-ish. Right now I'm heading out to breakfast! Then my mom and I will get a reflexology massage! What fun, what fun.

St. Barts, the Island of Love
Hey everyone,
So for starters, I'll just have you know that my bangs look awesome! I am totally loving them!
Only a few problems have come up throughout the course of this lovely vacation.
1) The issue of shopping.
2) The issue of communication. We are all on different time zones, and I can't seem to catch anyone (and how 2000 is email? SICK).
3) Okay, let's face it. Almost every vacation destination (with the exception of Italy) has food, not necessarily good, that is different to our systems. St. Barts is no different. So what is the result of this, you ask? Well, go for the American foods, of course. In other words, sugar is a temptation everywhere!
4) Lack of boys!
Being the very insightful girl that I am, I have come up with simple solutions to the above problems, as I am sure that many of you have come across the same issues. Listen closely girls, because this is advice coming straight from Massie's head:
1) Not too difficult. Us girls love shopping because we love the feeling of making progress, and improving ourselves. Go online! Shop! Neiman's, Nordstrom, eLuxury, Barney's, Anthropologie, you name it! Not only will you feel better about yourselves when you are done, but when you get home, feeling all miserable because you're freezing again, you'll be greeted by boxes upon boxes of new, ah-mazing purchases! It's a total win-win.
2) I, like many of you, I assume, cannot stand not having cellular service. So aside from this blog, which is more of a favor to you, really, I have cut myself off almost entirely from my friends. Eliminate the drama and catfights, because this is Spring BREAK! It's not like you'll never see your friends again, after all.
3) I know I've always told all of you that sugar is far from your best option in terms of snacking. And I maintain that. When you have a sweet tooth, go for some grapes, an apple, or a banana. However, as this is a vacation, even I have been snacking on a few M & M's here and there. Don't worry though, you won't be seeing the results of those on my thighs, because I'm doing yoga and tennis every day. I'll be as trim as ever when I get back!
Alright, now that that's covered, and before I answer my fourth problem, I'll get to what I'm sure you've all been wondering. First of all, what's going on with me and Dempsey, and second, why I titled this blog "The Island of Love". Read closely. Even closer.
For those of you that don't actually know me, but have found this blog one way or another, let me fill you in on a little secret...DEMPSEY IS NOT A REAL PERSON. Okay?
Also, Derrington and I called it quits a while ago. I need someone who doesn't like hanging out with a bunch of sweaty guys and balls (excuse the unfortunate pun) than me. Done.
So being single, I have ahb-viously not been totally immune to the abundance of physical male perfection around here. Being Massie Block, I really haven't even found it necessary to introduce myself to any of these hotties. One of them, we'll call him *Zack, made himself known to me, and we have since hung out a few times. I can't say for sure where this is going, ladies, but you know I'll keep you up to date.
Fashion tips seemed to be a big hit yesterday. I have a few special ones for you devoted readers, created specially for this time and day.
1) In: aviator sunglasses are b-a-c-k back! If you're still wearing those metal-rimmed sunglasses that are not aviators, they are on the outs. Dunzo. End of story.
2) Out: Flip flops! Especially the tacky Juicy ones, that everyone seems to find so...chic? No. I don't care if you're going to the beach. You always must be a 9, no matter what. Flip flops are an automatic 6 or below. Ouch.
3) In: Glaceau Vitamin water and Pellegrino water. Sugary sodas are a com-plete waste of calories. They're not even that good.
4) Light make up! I can't tell you how many girls back home (you know who you are) are overdoing their eye make up. No no no. The full eye-lined look matched with the colorful eye-shadow is more out than backwards caps and shoulder pads. Black mascara, black eyeliner on your bottom lids, foundation, and lipgloss are all you need. Period.
I'm running out of time. Have any questions or comments? Comment on the blog. Want to get to know me better? Ask me for my screenname. But please, those rando bitch fits on my blogs? Puh-lease. I am Massie Block. End of story. This is not make believe. If you don't want to read about us, leave. If you don't like each other, sort it out yourselves. Honestly, fighting on someone else's blog? Could you be any tackier?
Massie.

I'm Baack ;)
Hello my little darlings,
I know it's been a long time. And do you want to know why it's been so long? This, my friends, can solely be attributed to yourselves. Do you know how un-fun it was so see all of your obnoxious responses to my blogs? I put these out for you, and this is how I'm repaid?
But, whatever. To be honest, I'm over it. You should be the ones that are embarrassed. Look at this girl who commented on my last blog...she calls herself Massie. She's faker than Dolly Parton.
So I suppose you'd like to know what is going on with me and TPC. We are currently on spring break, all in different places. I myself am in St. Barts, my absolute favorite place in the world (as you know, French is the language of choice on this beautiful island). Dyl and Kris went out to Jamaica, and Claire is back in Orlando (surprise, surprise).
I suppose you continue to check back here to find out what is in for Spring. Girls, dresses are always a top choice! I recently purchased this adorable blue, black, and white jersey dress from some company I haven't heard of before...rag and bone is what I think it's called. (I got it at Nordstrom, so don't think I've become classless...it's not who I am). Juicy coverups are also cute for hanging going shopping. What to wear with these dresses? Well, you have a few options.
1) Roman Gladiator style sandals are my shoe of choice for this season! Black, brown, gold, you name it! They're all fahb-you-lous for Spring. If you're looking for some good ones, www.ShopBop.com has some great options.
2) Alright... I'll admid it. Claire kinda got me hooked on sneakers. If you have a cute, casual (preferably jersey?) dress, you can make it look even more indie and bohemian (Rachel Bilson is my inspiration here) by wearing a cute pair of (low-top only) Converse allstars. Before you go and say it's tacky, trust me, it's definitely not. Living in the city, I see all of the most fabulous people you can imagine, and all of my sources, yes, including Aurelie, have told me that it is totally chic.
3) A cute pair of flats are always a possibility. However, don't try anything too daring by mixing totally different colors together. As always, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, if your dress is black, go ahead, wear whatever color shoes you want (except black or red...this will come off as goth...definitely not cute. No time, and no place for goths). Also, if you have a navy dress, red flats are always super cayoot.
Out here, I've been observing the many celebrities and their choices of shorts. Let me tell you, those super short jean shorts with no shape...totally out! (Can you say "ghetto fabulous" withOUT the "fabulous"? That style has totally G2G more than Avril's wannabe punk-princess style.) Hudson recently came out with this great pair of dark-wash denim shorts with pleats. They come up to just barely below the belly button, and they're totally chic.
I also recently purchased a pair of purple Marc by Marc Jacobs shorts. Again, super short is always a no-no. They come down to mid-thigh, and they're fabulously chic.
I'll admit, the preppy style has caught on a bit, even for me. You know I've never been into the completely stereotypical legacy-prep look, but plaid shorts with some layered Lacostes can be totally sophisticated.
I know you want to know what my plans are for the day, so I'll fill you in. First, I'm going to go tan by the ocean, and read a little bit (while fashion is always my top priority, I still like to keep up with my studies). Then I'll probably play a little bit of tennis with the local pros. Then, I'm going to go to the Fern Tree Salon and get some...drumroll please...bangs! I'm totally sick of my classic layers and no bangs. Can you say boh-ring? Totally D2M. I know it'll look fierce (that's another thing I haven't talked about...Christian from Project Runway!). If you even think about copying my new look, don't forget, I have it in writing that I was going to do it first. Don't let it even cross your mind that you might not get totally busted by TPC.
More later,
Massie
