Love You Long Time
In the world of super fandom, you have your Dead Heads, your Parrot Heads and your Twihards. I fall into a different realm: I am a Lushie. That, my friends, is a loyal devotee of Lush Cosmetics. If you haven’t heard of it, my heart mourns your loss. If you don’t like it, you’re dead, because anyone with senses will adore this stuff–natural, vegetarian products, handmade with a sense of humor.

You Can’t Always Get What You Want
But sometimes, you can. And that’s fun. Allow me to tell you a tale.
It all started when a local boutique Tweeted me with a link to their blog (http://fabrikfiles.blogspot.com/). On said blog, was a dress I simply adored, and the hubs said he would make it my birthday gift. Three days later, I went to the boutique, only to find they were completely sold out of the dress, as were the shop’s other two locations. Although the sales associate took my information and promised to call me if more came in, I simply couldn’t wait.
Good Clean Fun
People who know me well know that my hair isn’t the cleanest thing in the world. The beauty of this fact is that people who don’t know me have no idea.

SAG Awards Fashion
I was thoroughly disappointed by the fashions of this year’s Golden Globes. When my style-icon Heidi Klum looks bad, you know it’s a bad night. In fact, my favorite part of the evening was all the cute boyfriends/husbands who held umbrellas for their ladies:
Which is why this weekend’s Screen Actors Guild Awards was such a breath of fresh air. So much better overall, ladies! Here are a few highlights:

Soulful Sister
The incredibly talented Aslyn is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. There is a soulful depth in her voice and her lyrics. And, the fact that she is Atlanta-based, only adds to her appeal.

Prime Time Super Star
I have suffered from tremendously oily skin for my entire adult life. The only repose I can find in the fact that it is a daily struggle to keep my face from looking like I just ran a 5K in the middle of the desert is that heavy oil production when you are young is supposed to yield fewer wrinkles when you are older. So, I cling to the hope that I will not look a day over 26 when I am 42. Check back with me in 16 years. If I’m noticeably more bitter (and of course, wrinkled), you’ll know my silver lining ended up being the cheap stuff that turns black rather than sterling. But I digress.

My Bliggaty-Blog
First off, for everyone who isn’t a Denis Leary fan, I apologize for this ridiculous first title. For those of you who are Leary fans–funny, no?
After spending at least a year of my life determining what exactly my relationship as a journalist should be with the world of online writing, and more specifically–blogging, I bring you “Emily Suggests”. In this new addition to my website, you will find my recommendations for pretty much everything from beauty products to music. Some items, such as restaurants and theaters, will be Atlanta-centric since Atl is my playground, but the majority of my posts will be universally appealing and accessible.
So how can you as my readers get involved? First of all, are you looking for a new mascara or the perfect tank top? Let me know, and I’d be happy to “Suggest” something just for you! Also, please feel free to leave your comments after each post–I’d love to hear your thoughts! And finally, I’d appreciate any mention you give my new blog on your facey spaces and your tweety pages (more Leary goodness), because if I’m going to fully embrace the merging of my career and the www, I’d like to be embraced in return. Because everyone knows a one-sided hug is lame.
