The Little Ant That Played

Unlike Caroline, I don't feel like I'm on the Mickey Mouse Club, mostly because my parents didn't get cable until a month ago and I was deprived the normal childhood of watching such television gems like the MMC. However, I do feel like a celebrity who is being interviewed for Teen Beat.

My name is Katie and I am the born and raised Texan. I live in the great city of Austin, home of the University of Texas and me. I too traveled East for undergrad and fell in love with the Bar Stars. I am back in Texas and taking a break from graduate school. I am a lover of pickles, Prada purses, sleep, high heels, and vodka. I LOVE tv and celebrity gossip - I'm convinced this is why Caroline and I get along as well as we do. I don't claim to know what you should buy, but I know what I like and I like to rant about it. I tend to like classic styles and I enjoy primary colors and jewel tones. I don't look super great in pastels, so I tend to steer clear of them. I don't care what anyone says, I think burnt orange looks great on me (hook 'em). I also like a lot of random stuff and for my first post, I will be delving into my love for a singing toothbrush, just you wait.

I think C.O Bigalow Ultra Mentha Lip Shine is great - it tastes good and makes you kiss ready. I tend to wear more silver than gold, but probably because I am prone to losing things and I would feel terrible losing something expensive. On that note, I strongly advocate all party people and aspiring Bar Stars to invest in a party phone. There is nothing worst than going out, having a banger of a night, and then realizing you lost your cell phone. The party phone is a great alternative to taking out your real phone. It will save you much heartache. I love candles, especially Tocca and Tyler Candle Company from here in Texas. I love all things philosophy and am an avid user of their makeup, body wash, lotions, and skin care.

I love the finer things in life and don't mind going through periods of famine to feast. I enjoy good food, nice clothes, and treating my friends and myself. There was that fable about the ant that played all summer while the grasshopper slaved away working to save food for the winter. I'm the ant. Perhaps it's not the best way to live, but for now, it's good times. I might be considered the indulgent Bar Star, but you'll have to ask the others :) I look forward to sharing some of my favorite things here on BarStars Buy !

don't feel bad about missing out on MMC...my parents just got cable a year ago. also, being the ant is fun! yay for irresponsibility!! :)

Yeah, I only got to see MMC when the cable company would throw us a free weekend of the Disney Channel every once in a while.

And I agree -- you are the ant, and this is why we love you.

Ok, seriously... how have you guys not watched the MMC? Seriously, dream in life was to be on that show. If it came back on the air, well, I would quit my job and audition. And totally buy one of those sweet coats. Also, I am so glad I know I can buy Menthal Lip Shine at B&BW. Because I got that as a gift and had no idea where I would find that again.

i didn't know they sold mentha lip shine anywhere other than b&bw. i love that stuff. you should try the soda fountain ones, i swear i could eat my vanilla cola one out of the tube if i could afford $7 lip glosses as snacks. my sister is equally as obsessed with the orange creamsicle one.
