Okay. So maybe not entirely<\/em> scandalous. Juste un peu scandaleux, s’il vous pla\u00eet<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I shan’t lie; I’m quite tired of this<\/em>. Italicized in reference to the ever-so-bland life of your average American high school student. If only the lives of Blair Waldorf and Serena Vanderwoodsen transpired into my own. Constance by day, the Palace’s bar (lounging casually whilst sipping martinis and nibbling on grilled cheese with truffle oil and fresh tomatoes) by noon, and clubbing by night in petite<\/em> Herv\u00e9 L\u00e9ger numbers. All done with the Chanel or Valentino of the moment hung in the crook of their arm. Lives chock full of drama, sex, more drama, more sex, and fabulousness all in between.<\/p>\n

But of course I’m not complaining; I’m simply acknowledging<\/em> the vast differences between my life, and that of the upper east side-er’s. There so<\/em> is a difference… Ah, dearest B., why don’t you let me have a pick from your vast collection of designer doodads, and share Chuck Bass with me? You get him on the week days, I get him over weekends. Fair enough?<\/p>\n

Whilst all you lovely cocottes<\/em> of mine go about your own glamorous lives, and I rotate between a daily schedule of: school, practice\/rehearsal, basketball games (dance team performs at half time!), procrastination, homework, sleep, \u00a0r e p e a t , I’ve concocted a list of “Why Don’t You’s<\/a><\/em>?” for both your and my own perusal. When I have free time, that is. So carpe diem, seize the day; pourquoi pas<\/em>? There’s nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

\u2665<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

why don’t you…<\/h2>\n

\u2665<\/span> …vamp up your daily makeup routine<\/strong>?\u00a0Forget au naturel<\/em> (if you’re like me), or the usual neutral and\/or winged liner and pink-mauve lips. Change it up for a day. Use the darkest, smoldering black liner to line your waterline and tightline. Smudge it, set it with matte or shimmery black shadow (Carbon<\/em> or Black Tied<\/em> by M\u00b7A\u00b7C), and blend it with a shimmery taupe (Satin Taupe<\/em>, also by M\u00b7A\u00b7C) for a beautiful finish. Pile on the mascara, groom the brows, and lay on the nude lipstick. Be a vampish seductress for a day<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2665<\/span> …be Barbie for a day<\/strong>? Hot pink lipstick, faux lashes, loads of mascara, and black winged liner. Better yet, derive your inspiration from the original 1960’s Barbie<\/a>. Wear a striped black and white body-conscious dress and platform heels. Oh l\u00e0 l\u00e0<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2665 <\/span>… plan a girl’s night out in the city<\/strong>? Pack your overnight goodies, favorite heels, freakum dress(es), etc., bring a few ladies, and rent a limo \u00e0 la Gossip Girl<\/em>. Pop champagne, pamper yourselves at a spa (mani and pedi, of course!) along the way, and drop your bags in a hotel room. Get ready together like you did in junior high and high school before school dances, and hit the clubs. Classy ones, of course. Drink a little “Sex on the Beach” and dance the night away.<\/p>\n

\u2665<\/span> … flirt more<\/strong>? According to scientists who study the art of flirtation (I kid; I suppose they’re behaviorists of sorts), flirting may boost your white blood-cell count, thus boosting immunity and health. Psychologists have also said that flirting increases self-esteem! Be coquettish. It’s fun. And harmless, so long as you’re single<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2665<\/span> … embrace your sexiness<\/strong>? Present-day “pin-up” Megan Fox<\/a> had said recently that \u201cwomen are supposed<\/em> to be beautiful, we’re\u00a0supposed to be sexy” – I suppose in response to some journalists’ question and\/or statement about women, sex, and the pros\/cons of being provocative. Regardless, take heed to what she says! Megan Fox is, after all, the pinnacle of sexy, and is quite right: all women are sexy. We all have that provacteur<\/em> or coquette<\/em> within. Forget inhibitions, and embrace those curves. Work it, girl! And refer to the previous\u00a0bullet-point<\/span> heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2665<\/span> … read an issue of Cosmopolitan<\/em><\/strong>? That in itself is quite scandalous. My friends and I are amused by monthly issues filled with exotic things to do. Read it alone, with the girls for giggles, or perhaps with your other half? (;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2665<\/span> … throw a party<\/strong>? [Virgin] drinks, a club-worthy playlist, couches to lounge in, and open space to dance the night (or morning?) away is all that is necessary. Thrown on a slinky mini and invite as few or many friends you need to get the night going. Hire a photographer, professional or simply a friend interested in the hobby, to take photos throughout the night. Post them up, and everyone will wonder which fabulous club or party you’ve been a VIP at.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u2665<\/span><\/h2>\n

bisous,<\/p>\n
