Hi There!

I like you.

An Amazon Mananimal

So. While searching through Amazon.com, I came across a fellow who had expensive and classy taste. And when I say expensive, I mean expensive. His name: Eric Mananimal. Oh and this classy man from Washington is most definitely a "mananimal"
Please, do not confuse Eric Mananimal with Humanimal. Humanimal is a crazy man who dresses up in body paint and makes himself look like an animal. Come on, Eric Mananimal is way more classy than that. Though, Humanimal is pretty brawny and built... if you can get past the fact that he is currently dressed as a dog.

But anyway, so let's take a look at the items Mr. Eric Mananimal has purchased and commented on on Amazon.
Ok, ok. Ukulele. Earrings. Necklace. Not bad. Pretty normal...

$ 937,040.00 DIAMOND! ONLY TWO FREAKING STARS!
$91,917.82 WATCH! ONLY THREE STARS?!
and shoes. eh. old man's shoes.
Oh Mr. Mananimal.

Let's now take a closer look at his ratings.

The diamond. If you cannot read the picture below, then I will read it for you: "This diamond is ok. It's pretty big but c'mon amazon. I have amazon prime so I get free shipping but how am I supposed to get this thing gift wrapped? I have a personal rule, no diamonds under $500k go in gift bags. What am I supposed to do? Buy a paper and wrap it in the funny pages? I don't even know how to do that. I would buy this diamond again and again if I could have it gift wrapped but as it is now? no thanks."

Then Jason Pruitt says "Yeah, I agree, I bought myself a grill consisting of nothing but this diamond...the only cheap point I see in the diamond though- is the fact that it comes in the form on 8 one carat diamonds taped together. come on amazon...fix this."

Then Kathryn Jewell Shaw says "I completely agree. Just because I bought 8 of them for my wife doesn't hide the fact that no gift wrap makes for a cheap gift. Very, very disappointed."


What about the watch? It certainly wasn't up to the Mananimal's standards.

Mananimal: "Pros: It looks neat, the band is comfortable and it keeps time almost as accurately as my cell phone. Cons: no calculator. All in all, I prefer my Casio calculator watch, but this one is good too."

JPV responds: "Actually, you'll be disappointed: Your cell phone keeps better time than this watch. However, that's not why one buys a watch like this, is it?"


What could ever please Eric Mananimal? Is anything worthy of his five star vote?!

Why yes. Yes there is. Naturally, Mananimal would give a tiger t-shirt he purchased a five star rating. I told you he had classy taste.


So I will leave you with the question that is on everybody's mind: Eric Mananimal, who are you?!

Weddings!

So if you are a girl, I know you like to think about weddings. I don't mean marriage, I mean the wedding itself. Don't lie. You do it. Even if you have no desire to get married, you want that party. You want the dress. You want the gifts. You like to look up wedding dresses online. I know you do. Stop lying. You might even sit in wedding dresses on your couch and watch movies with your friends and eat popcorn. No big deal. We all do it.
So for this post I have found the best wedding websites, photos, themes, and so on for you to browse though and enjoy!
If you are a guy reading this and you aren't into weddings, here's a picture of a motorcycle. Those are manly, right?
Now onto the weddings...


Amy and Jesse had a carnival themed wedding. Normally I'd be like uhh...but it actually looked very tasteful and fun!
Most of the people there had tattoos, which made everything look so colorful and fun.
They had their wedding photos done by Red Heart Photography.
To see all of Amy and Jesse's pictures, you can go to Red Heart's website: redheartphoto.com.





Peacock. Feathers. Wedding. Excited yet? Because you should be. Kristi and Anthony's wedding incorporated feathers into everything. Not to mention her dress was beautiful. Her bridesmaids' dresses were pretty cool looking and went really well with the rest of her wedding.
The wedding photography was done by Christine Chang Photography and might I say, they are some of the most artsy, beautiful pictures ever.
You can see all of Kristi and Anthony's photos on this blog: ChristineChangPhoto.blogspot.



I have to say though, my favorite of all of the wedding photos I've seen aren't wedding photos at all. They are engagement pictures. Up themed engagement pictures. I know. The. Cutest. Thing. Ever.
If you go to weddingchicks.com you can see a whole page about the story and the pictures. Sooooo cute.
And if you want to look at more of Wildflowers Photography's (the photographer of the Up couple), you can go to their website at http://www.wildflowersphotos.com/.




The best dress award goes to Anneka. Both of the dresses in her pictures are amazing. Anneka and Patrick got married in Hollywood during the winter. But seriously, her dresses. Beautiful. Apparently she got her dresses online from a site called unique-vintage.com. Check it out.
You can see all of their pictures on the photographer's blog at jessicaclair.net.



The best vintage/ indie wedding goes to Hollin and Eric. They wore vintage clothes and got married in a forest. Unfortunately, the website didn't allow me to save one of the pictures, so you're just going to have to go to the photographer's site to check them out! Ben Blood, the photographer, took beautiful beautiful pictures of the wedding. You can check out his work and this wedding at benblood.com.

If you like to just look at wedding dresses online and day dream about trying them on, then you can look at this website: http://clairepettibone.com/bridal/
