Marathon Monday, All Grown-Up

Rob, left, and Kris after the Marathon. BOSTON 2010!

There once was a time when I would wake up on Marathon Monday to my roommates mixing margaritas in the kitchen, messing it up, and ditching the mix for straight tequila…at 8 a.m. The day would be spent playing Beer Pong, doing shots and dancing to Kelly Clarkson and Shakira. Passing out at 1 p.m. was always expected, but so was rallying an hour later.

So you can imagine my disappointment when I found out I had to work (work?!?! seriously?!?!?) this year during the Marathon.

Keeping it Classy: The Wine Purse

By this point in our lives, we’ve all succumbed to the temptation of box ‘o wine – some of us more so than others (I’m lookin’ at you, Krista!). But here to save the day is a new product that can satisfy the trailer-park in us while saving our sophistication. May I present the Baggy Winecoat!

Here are the specs:

Baggy Winecoat gives the popular Bag in Box wines a casual but stylish look! Simply take the wine bag out of the box, place it in the Baggy Winecoat and close the flexible top. A rubber bottom makes sure the Baggy Winecoat does not tip over; neither on the dinner table, nor on the picnic.

The Baggy Winecoat won’t tip over at the dinner table, but you might! Choose between black, red and white (how fitting) for only $58.19 at http://www.scandinaviandesigncenter.com.

Chace Crawford Realizes He’s Not as Great As Kevin Bacon

Jump back!

According to Entertainment Weekly, Chace Crawford has pulled out of playing leading man Ren McCormack in the remake of Footloose, because he will be “too busy shooting Gossip Girl this summer.” No offense to Chace, but my take on this is that he just couldn’t pull off the train yard dance sequence (see below).

Bring back SJP and Kevin Bacon! The original just can’t be topped!
