BOOK

So I bought Tina Fey’s new book Bossypants last friday at the airport. I rarely buy books at the airport because they are so over priced but I thought this one would give me a giggle or two. I WAS RIGHT. the man sitting next to me thought I was a lunatic because I laughed for the entire 1 1/2 long flight to Birmingham, he was an Auburn fan so I didn’t really give. read it. my favorite bits from it are when she talks about climbing a mountain in the middle of the night with her “boyfriend” when she went to UVA and the chapter when she talks about her dad Don Fey. I’ve laughed. I’ve cried. Now I’m going to go finish it.

C3P0

Everyone has seen star wars…if you havent theres is probably something wrong with you and i would like for you to quit reading and never come back. Anyways. Everyone that has seen it has a favorite character and mine is C3P0. He is just such a sweetie! He offers comic relief without being annoying as hell like Jar Jar Binks.  A loyal friend, a possibly gay robot, and a charmer. I love you C3P0. Oh and how amazing are those shoes?

Ode to Wes Anderson

Above is the most bad A director in America. Wes Anderson. The cast has been unofficially announced for his new movie that is currently in production in Rhode Island. Its called Moonrise Kingdom and its Anderson’s first period piece, its set in the 60’s. Shwing! Fantastic Mr. Fox was good and all but I’m ready for a classic Wes Anderson film with real people, that is not stop motion, dripping with awkward family drama and Bill Murray. here are a few of my favorite screen shots from Wes’ gems. Enjoy.

SLAM DUNK

So. I got a new pair of Nike’s today. I was feeling sick and tired of bein sick and tired so I went out on the hunt for some new (but probably old) Nike’s. Shoes make me extremely happy, giddy almost. but Nike’s? they really get me going. So I went to this place in Dallas called Buffalo Exchange, the kewl kids call it Buffalo for short. So what Buffalo is is a place that one can go to exchange their buffalo for money. I kid. But is it is a place you can exchange your old clothes for money or other clothes. Sssooo I had some old crap that I brought up to exchange for some hopefully badass Nike kicks. Well the stars aligned for me today..I got more money than I expected for my trashy Charolette Russe clothes ( why I thought it was ok to dress like a Latina hooker back in the day I’ll never know) but heres the best part, as I was searching through all the graphic tees and flannel shirts, I noticed a pair of miniature sneakers( I wear a size 5 1/2 so this was crucial) from across the room. I approached them, staring down anyone I thought might be going after the wheels. As I came face to face with the sneaks, I knew they had to be mine. White with a purple swoosh ( I drew a picture as you can see above). So simple. So fresh. So I braced my self, reached for the price tag, flipped it around and saw a cool $22.00. SHWING!!! I ran as fast as I could to the register without looking like a complete lunatic, got out my bills and purchased a fly pair of sneakers, bringing my collection up to 9 pairs of Nike Dunk’s. I walked out of Buffalo beaming with pride, and trippin with swagga.

Blue and White Life

As you can see, the background of my blog is blue and white stripes…well there is a reason for that. I subconsciously choose blue and white stripes for nearly EVERYTHING in my life. honestly if there was a blue and white stripped option for a car I would choose it without even realizing it until someone points it out to me.

I discovered that I had an addiction my sophomore year of college. I came home for Thanksgiving break which is only about 4 days long. So as I was going through my suitcase to find something to wear I kept pulling out blue and white articles of clothing…One after the other.  So I started to panic and lay all the cloths out next to each other and had a total of SIX B&WS shirts for a FOUR day period. I consulted my mother with my issue and she was equally as concerned. So I started thinking and realized I had even more B&WS clothing back at school. I kept this obsession to my self and sort of forgot about it after awhile.

Then a few years later I was folding clothes and putting them in my drawers and looked down and my entire middle drawer was filled to the brim with B&WS shirts!

After this discovery I swore to myself I would never step foot in Old Navy (the mecca for Blue and White Stripes) without a friend to stop me from purchasing any B&WS shirts.

So I thought I was in the clear because I stopped buying B&WS shirts…but that doesnt mean I cant buy other B&WS stuff right?! like yoga pants, underwear, stationary, bedding! Well thats what I did…I channeled this addiction into other items.

So now I am sitting here on my blue-and-white stripped bed, wearing a blue-and-white stripped sweater, up-dating my blue-and-white stripped blog.

Do I need help? Maybe. But I don’t care.

Bueno!

Buenos Noches. My name is Kaitlyn Conway. I recently graduated from THE University of Alabama with a BA in Advertising. I created this blog  because I want somewhere to show all the stuff I think is neato but none of my other friends do and maybe some weirdos like me will appreciate it. I may also post random thoughts about things that grind my gears. I named my blog Conway East because a friend and I were supposed to start blogs at the same time and we said we would use a play on a rappers name as the title…so Conway East is a play on….if you don’t  know you can leave.

Who is Conway East and why do we care about her?

-Wes Anderson movies
